THE PATTEN VICTIMS.
Two of Them in the Maine General Hos
pita1 for Treatment.

At the Maine General Hospital in this
city, two of the victims OF the arsenic
poisoning at Patten are now undergoing
treatment The names of the men are
Richard Cunningham and N. W. Ryder.
They are men between 80 and 40 years of
age, and married. Cunningham is a
farmer and lumberman, and Ryder is a
farmer. They were brought to the hos
pltal about three weeks ago, and We're in
a pitiable condition. They had passed
through, while at home, the critical stage
OF bloating and functional disorders Incl
dent to arsenical poisoning, and had
been left in state of partial paralysis,
the like of which has never before been
known in the Maine General Hospital
as result of poisoning. Neither of
them could walk, and Ryder could not
raise himself from the bed.
Their Improvement since then has
been very slow to them, of course, but
satisfactory to the physicians. At first
they seemed to have scarcely any use of
their muscles, although their appetite
and digestion were good. Ryder had so
little strength in his hands that he could
not close them; Cunningham was strong
er, but had little control of his feet.
Now, Ryder can shake hands with quite
respectable grip, and can sitiup in bed,
and even get into chair, but cannot yet
walk. His legs and feet feel as if they
were enclosed firmly in vice." and the
circulation had stopped. He has no feel
ing in his hands, though a little of their
strength has returned. He ''aches all
over" and his sleep is very irregular;
but his head feels well and his appetite
is as good as ever In fact, he eats as
much as ever he did, yet his benumbed
legs have shrunk to one-half their nor
NAL size, and he has lost 25 or 80 pounds.
Cunningham is farther on the road to
recovery, and can walk a little, but with
difficulty, because he cannot bend his
feet. The tendon of Achilles is too
weak to lift his body, and his walk is an
awkward shuttle. His head, like his
companions, has long since ceased to
ache, and his appetite and digestion are
as good as ever, but his hands are devoid
of feeling and there is queer blue tint
around the nails.
Ryder is q son of one of the two men
who were killed by the fatal saleratus.
He is, of course, anxious to have the
mystery explained.
J The patients are given an injection of
small quantity Of strychnine daily, and
are treated with electricity and other
tonics for the muscles. But that the
muscles should be SO disastrously affect
ed for SO long time is the unusual fea-
ture of this case Of arsenical poisoning.
1t will probably be at least three weeks
longer before the atrophied muscles will
be strong enough to warrant their leav-
ing the hospital. ID
The hospital officials are astounded
that no action has been taken by the
county authorities to investigate this af-
fair.

stoddard Lectures.

John L. Stoddard has just finished
three weeks of lectures at Daly's Thea
tire, New York. He is prime favorite
there and orders for seats are booked a
whole year ahead. During the late lee
lures people fairly tumbled over one
another in their eagerness to secure
seats. The gems of the course given
there are to be given under Mr.. Stock
bridges auspices at City Hall next week.
Judging by Mr.. Stoddard's reception in
every other city, the hall here will hard
ly be large enough to hold his patrons.

bits of information from five different
