If Tillie Anderson, who is lying at
the city hospital in a very critical con-
dition. RECEIVERS. she may thank DR..
Arcker and the corps of athletic ply
sicians connected with the institution
for saving her life. For the past 100
hours the physicians have done all in
their power both professionally and
physically and particularly the latter,
to prevent her demise. The woman
who is eighteen years old, and has been
employed as a domestic in a ST. Anth-
ony hill family, was brought to the
hospital Friday night and registered
as a typhoid fever patient. Saturday
at midnight the house physician re-
ported that the woman exhibited symp-
toms not usually noticed in typhoid
asses, and DR.. Anclzer, after an eX-
! aminat iCn diagnosed the case as that
known to the medical profession as
LandryS para ysis. When DR.. Ancker'S
attention was called to the case the
woman was in a critical condition and
was gasping for breath Her body was
blue and the paralysis which had COM
menced in the lower limbs was creep
| ing slowly upwards. Two of the ply
sicians were directed to use the same
treatment as they would to resuscitate
drowning person, extend the arms
over the head and work them some
thing after the manner Of a pump
handle. This form of treatment was
commenced at midnight Saturday
night and continued without Interrupt
ton except when the physicians re-
lieved each other up to last night at
midnight The work has been rather
trying On the staff but it was the only
thing to be done, and last night the
patient was reported as considerably
improved. In addition to this, heroic
form of treatment the woman has been
given whisky and strychnine at inter-
walls, and DR.. Ancker stated last even
ing that there was a chance for her
recovery. The attack is due to the
absorption of poison generated in the
blood, and is a disease of the spinal
cord. The case is what the physicians
term rare one.

ALL DEPENDENTS SHARE
In the Benefits of tie Fire Relief
Association,

Association.
Judge Kelly, of the district court,
handed down a decision yesterday in
the suit Of Patrick Hurley against the
st. Paul Fire Department Relief asso-
citation, giving plaintiff judgment in
The amount of 500 without costs. This
amount was claimed by plaintiff as be-
ing due to him on a policy for 81, 200
which his deceased son, William Henry
Hurley, a fireman and member of the
associa ton, carried in that organiza-
ton at the time of his death.
The court ruled that plaintiff had
been dependent upon the deceased for
his support. The purpose of the state
law as amended, clearly was to provide
fer the relief of firemen who were in
jured or disabled in the service, and
those dependent on their bounty While
it named widows and orphans it did
not thereby render the bylaw of the
association, which paid a certain sum
to the legal heirs" of a deceased
member, inconsistent with the purpose
Of the act where the heir was a de-
pendent. Therefore, a payment to
legal heir. when such heir was depen-
dent dixie this defendanO on the boun-
ty of a deceased member, did not con-
traVene the purposes of the statutes.

TOO MANY DIVORCES.
Judge Willis Reflects on the Insta-
biIity of Society.

biIity of Society.
After Judge Willis had granted four
divorces in his division of the district
court yesterday morning he settled
back in his chair upon the bench and
contemplated for the edification of
those gathered about him, saying in a
clear voice that the growing frequency
with which husbands and wives were
deserving each other did not speak well
for the stability of society. He
thought radical changes should be
made in the divorce laws which would
have for their object the dispelling of
this lamentable feature of domestic
discord. Nearly every action that he
had thus far heard this term had been
brought on the ground of desertion.
The first suit which came up for
hearing was that of Mrs. Abby Young
Green against Frederick J. Green. The
charge was desertion and findings were
ordered for plaintiff. Mrs Green tes-
tilted that she married defendant in
Green Bay, Wis, where licenses are
not required by the state laws, in
April, 1885. Husband and wife were
both thirty-eight years of age Mrs.
Green said that her husband left home
one day ostensibly for a trip out West.
