LEUTNER's CONDITION SERIOUS
Doctors Can Not Say What the Re-
suit Will Be.

Charles Leutner, the young drug
clerk, who was so frightfully burned
on the arm by an electric wire, We'd
nesday afternoon, continues in a criti-
cal condition at his home, 1909 Irving
avenue. He is unconscious most of
the time from the violent shock which
his nervous system underwent, and
the physicians are unable to say what
the ultimate result will be.
At a consultation of physicians on
the question of amputating the arm, It
was decided to wait future develop
ments before coming to a conclusion.

The matter was referred to master
and he reported that a division of the
property was impracticable and fixed
its valuation at $25,O00. At the sale
which followed, Dean bid in the prop
erty at the fixed valuation and court
directed the bid to be accepted.
Friends of the defendant interposed
objection to the sale and asked to
have 1t set aside, alleging that the
defendant was a lunatic at the time
of the sale and had no sound minded
representative there.

Two opinions in equity cases were
handed down by Judge Archibald yes
terday. One refuses an injunction re-
straining the sale of Catherine Nc
Donough's property for city taxes and
allows 1t as to sale for school taxes.
The other sets aside the partition sale
in the case of A. >. Dean against
Abraham Brown.
Rule for preliminary injunction.
The bill in this is very meager. After
stating the purchase by plaintiff on April 90
1s0s by deed from Isabella c. Fisher, in whom
the title was then vested, Of Lot 25, in Block
49, in the Twentieth ward Of Scranton, without
knowledge of, any school or city taxes being
unpaid upon it, it alleges that the lot is about
to be sold by the defendant as city treasurer
for city and school taxes for the years 1891 to
1895 inclusive, being advertised in the name Of
Andrew Merrick, there being no deed of record
TO the said McrriGk and the plaintiff at the
time Of her purchase having no knowledge that
he ever had any interest in the said lot; that
the said contemplated tax sale is under and
by virtue Of the act OF the 23d Of May, 1850,
and an ordinance Of the city Of Scranton pur'
suant to it, and that the plaintiff is informed
and believes it is illegal and void and will pass
no title. but will cast cloud upon her; and
she therCupon prays for an injunction to re-
strain the sale from taking place.

Alcohol In Illness.

In talking with physicians about this sub
jCct j have been much impressed by the
frequent and emphatic statements of their
experience in administering alcohol to pa
tientS in forms of disease when the bodily
activities are at a low ehb. They tell mo
that they frequently find that people in
such condition will take without intoxi-
eating effects quantities Of alcohol which
would, under ordinary circumstances, pro-
duce drunkenness. They say, Furthermore.
that there are many cases in which the
bodily functions are maintained. and life
is even saved, by alcohol when ordinary
food could not be endured. In his valuable
treatise on ''Stimulants and Narcotics
Doctor Anstie gives the details of a number
Of interesting cases Of this kind. which
he evidently studied with great care.
From the standpoint of the physiological
chemist this effect of alcohol would seem
entirely natural. The bodily functions arc
weakened and the power of digestion is i'm
paired. While the patient is lying still the
labor required of the muscles is not large
and the chief need is fuel TO carry the body
through the time of stress. What is want
