Indianapolis, Feb. 7.-The condition OF
william H. English is becoming more alarm
ing every hour, and there is now little hope
that he will recover. He was unconscious

The fact that blood poisoning has devel-

regarded as reasonably certain to end in
death. When the fever is not present he
lies in a stupor, and passes from this into
delirium when fevers come UP in the even
ing.
He takes hardly any nourishment, except
. little liquid In the form OF beef tea.
