PURDY'S JTMCE CASE Though Reduced to a Skeleton He Is Still Possessed of Life. HE .BAFFLES JJEDICAL SKILL It Cannot Assign a Reason for tho Te nacious Way In Whloh Ho Clings to Llfo Although lie Would Prefer to Be Dead. Among the strangest of wonders hap pening within the range of medical science, the case of Abram Purdy, of 1040 Quincy avenue, in Petersburg, is one of the most startling. Six months ago he was a tall, powerful man, brawny and sinewy, weighing 210 pounds; since then he has wasted awny by degrees, and today he is a gaunt skeleton of less than fifty pounds, and he hangs to life by a frail thread. Dr. Arthur H. Bernstein, of Ash street, has kept the breath of life In Purdy for the past three months, but the patient has arrived at that stage, where It is a question of but how many hours lonser before the reaper appears wi th his sickle and snaps away the sus pensory thread that holds the sick mnn in the land of the living. An onlooker Is terrified at the sight of the bony form; cuddled on a bare cot, all animation, apparently gone. A Tribune reporter, In company with Dr. Bernstein, visited the house yesterday afternoon. Purdy is at the home of his son-in-law, Martin Hedglln. Would llo Kill Himself if Ho Could. Purdy is insensible to all pain, but he retains his senses of hearing, speak ing and seeing. When he recognized Dr. Bernstein, he asked for laudanum with which to end his life. For sev eral weeks ho has taken no food except a tablespoonful of milk at rare Inter vals, which he drinks through a tube. fie was born on July 18, 1831, in Flsh klll, Dutchess county, N. Y., and grew up to be a. giant in strength, reaching the height of six feet. His frame was correspondingly developed. The early days of his life were Bpent In the forest as a sawyer, and when the war broke out he enlisted In April, 1861, In Com pany.K, Sixth Pennsylvania Reserves, and served until the close of the rebel lion. He fought at Bull Run, Antletem, and Gettysburg, and the last fierce en gagement where he fought for the Union was at Cold Harbor. Ills regi ment after that remained passive un til the end, when he retired to private life with en honorable discharge and badges of distinction. Settling first In Susquehanna county after laying1 down the musket and the sabre, he resumed the rough life of a wood cutter and later drifted to this county. All through tho long marches and sleepless nights of the war he bore with remarkable endurance and he was not known to complain of even a trivial ache. While he tolled In the woods he suffered no sickness, until last sum mer. Then he became attacked with spasmodic pains in, the abdominal re gion. The Doctors Wero nnfflcd. Last August his health failed and yet he did not lose any muscle. He seemed to think, although he was of a round old age, that a trip to Florida and some of the water ing places might restore his vigor and fit him to battle with life for several years to come. On his trip he consult ed many physicians and attended sev eral hospitals, but no encouragement greeted him. His purse got light and he was forced to come home, returning on Dec. 11, last year. Dr. Bernstein's office Is but a block from Purdy's home; and one day he was casually attracted to the case. The old man related all his experiences with doctors and his Jour ney after health. A diagnosis of his case was made and Dr. Bernstein took charge. He found that Purdy was af fected with concer of the ascending colon of rthe intestines, and saw that the sufferer's life would be short. Within three weeks Purdy fell from 210 pounds to 175, and the decline con tinued until a month ago, when he re duced to 110 pounds. His superhuman vltnlltv kertt him at that mark until a week ago, but since, day after day, he has been losing, so tnat now mere is no tissue left except the skin and the mnMntw1 lifart. The lunirs. stomach. liver, kidneys, and Intestines are dessl- cated, ana how ne lives ana can see, hear and talk Is one of the strange mysteries of the case. Would Prefer Death. Tr TternBteln ha kent him alive, hut the sufferer would prefer death. He has no money and no friends and wants to die. His wife died on Aug.. 14, 1888. He has applied for a pension, but his pilgrimage is about completed. Dr. Bernstein says that he cannot survive three days, although he has been In a living aeain lor rniree weeks. No coffin lid lifted could expose a ghastlier sight than the cold, clammy bones thait protrude through the skin of Purdy's earthly tenement. William D. Moore, an old veteran from the Soldiers' Home, at Hampton Roads, Va., is nursing Mr. Purdy. Thft "Ttonanarte" belt for sale bv Turn. quest, 205 Washington avenue. Y. P. S. C. E. nnd Epworth League.

MRS. MORGAN RELENTED. Ilor Son Thoronpon Mad. Mis Augusta cron ills Wife About a month ago Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, of tho West Side, went to tho clerk of the court's office and forbade that official to give her son, John Mor gan, who has not .. yet reached his majority, a license to marry Miss Au gusta Cron, of Sterling, Wayne coun ty, a young woman who is one year older than Mr. Morgan. l'he young people convinced Mrs. Morgan that a marriage license and her permission could both be waived If they desired to be married with out either or both and after thinking the matter over she relented. ' Yesterday she notified the clerk that he could Issue the required license and soon after Mr. Morgan and Miss Cron appeared to claim It. They went to tho home of Rev. L. C. Floyd, patrtor of the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church of the West Side, where they were married. MET AT THE TOOR FARM. Report of the Committee Appointed to Visit tho Chnrltublo Institutions of the City KeaH and Adopted. Yesterday's meeting of the Scranton poor board was held at tho Hillside Home, and all directors, except Mr. Shotton, wero present. A thorough In spection of all the bulldlnga, outbuild ings and appurtenances of the Home was made and everything was found in a satisfactory and clennly manner. The crops of tho farm were found to be growing excellently and showed at tention and Intelligent gardening. At the meeting the usual number of monthly bills were approved. Mrs. Frances Ii. Swan, W. S. Lang staff, John Gibbons and Charles Tropp went In carriages and Director Will iams and Secretary E. J. Lynett were whirled on the fast train to Clark's Summit and met at the station by Su perintendent Becmer's carriage. The following report of the committee ap pointed to vlBlt the different charitable institutions of the city, where children are maintained at the expense of the district, was presented by 'Mrs. Swan and was adopted. As to tho Orphanage. The St. Patrick's Orphan asylum, In Hyde Park, Is a large, commodious building, with sulficlent ground sur rounding It for open air exercises and Is admirably adapted for 'the purpose to which It is devoted. The committee were shown through the entire building and found the school rooms, play room, dormitories, halls and bath rooms well lighted, well ventilated and In perfect sanitary condition. Tho faculty hope some time to add another school room, dining room anl lavatories. The healthy and contented appearance of the chil dren give evidence of the good care be stowed upon them. They ore taught five days In each week by sisters who are deeply interested in their work. There are at present 125 children In the orphanage. A largo number of these are subjects of charity. The commit tee had pergonal interviews with the fifteen children, ten boys and five girls. who are at present charges upon the district, and would recommend that the entire number be retained In the or phanage with the exception of the Mc Mahon children, who should be Inden tured tothe Institution. Too much credit cannot be given to those who have gratuitously given their time and ener gy In bringing this institution to such a high standard of excellence. The Home for the Friendless Is con ducted on a smaller scale, owing to the lack of room. Their building is entirely Inadequate to Its need, as there are at present ten old ladles find thirty one children domiciled therein. We wero conducted through the building and found everything neat and clean, but the decaying timbers nnd flooring, the narrow halls and crowded dormi tories are at sad reflection upon the gen erosity of a public whose coffers are filled to overflowing. It Is a crying shame that the only Institution of Its kind in our city should be so retarded In its noble work from a lack of funds. The children looked well and hnppy and all who are of school age attend the public school, while the younger ones attend the kindergarten In the home. Fortunately, in the summer season, there Is a large yard, where the chil dren can enjoy the fresh air and sun shine. There Is but one child In the home at present who Is a charge upon the district. In both the orphanage and Home for the Friendless the phy sical, moral, splritunl and educational Interests are carefully guarded. Found! I iik Homo Not Suitable. At St. Joseph's Foundling Homo we found a still more aggravated state of affairs, as the building was originally Intended for a private home and is Illy planned for the work. In one medium sized room there lay ten very sick lit tle babies, without a particle of ven tilation, there being only one window In the room, nnd so located that It could not be opened. In a very small room adjoining, where the only light came from a window In the outside door, lay four sick babies. It would be Impossi ble to expect anything but a heavy mortality under Buch environments. The committee saw six of the Beven children who are at present charges upon the district there.Brldget Hoban, a girl of 14 years not being present. We were Informed that she would no longer be a charge upon the district. The committee would recommend the Indenture of iMIchaiel LavHle, Anna McMahon, John Gibson, and that John Croko be sent to some Institution for the instruction of the blind, so that he may be taught to be self-supporting; also that the resolution adopted by the board to maintain the babies under 2 years of age at our homes, unless given for MioVnture, be more strictly adhered tod.

WOOD Spokoto tho Young Women About the Duties That Will Confront Them In Their Exacting Calling-First Qraduutos of tho School. Albright Library hall was filled last night with an audience of cultured peo. plo whose presence attested the deep interest felt in the first commncoment exercises of the Training School for NureB connected with the Lackawan na hospital. Two years ago the school was organ ized, and It was chartered by the state recently. To become a trained nurse requires two years of arduous study and preparation, and last night marked nn eventful epoch In the history of the school, as It was tho occasion of tho graduation of eight women as qualified trained nurses. The diplomas with which they were presented during the evening entitled them to positions In any hospital, public or private, In the United States, or to go forth and minis ter to the sick In families. Library hall was decorated with tastefully arranged potted plants and Illuminated with pendant electrical lights. A large number of the physi cians of the city were present and at tho platform were the following cler gymen; Rev. J. A. O'ltellly nnd Rev. Kennet Campbell, of St. Peter's cathe dral; Rev. Rogers Israel, of St. Luke's Episcopal church, and Rev. James Mc Leod, D. D., of the First Presbyterian church. Jumcs P. Dickson Presiding Officer. President James P. Dickson, of the Lockawanna hospital, waspresidlng offl cer of the evening, and the gentleman who was present as the guest of honor of the occasion and to whose lot fell tho address to the graduating class was Dr. H. C. Wood, of the University of Pennsylvania. Tho eight young ladles who were graduated were: Misses Annie Moon. Grace Miller, and Jennie Haggerty, of mis city; Misses Anna Redden and Maggie Cummlngs, of New York: Mrs. Swingle, of Lake Ariel; and Misses Edith Vanderwoort and Carrie Sehafer. of Georgetown, Wayne county. They were attired In the costumes which are worn by trained nurses, light gowns of blue muslin, white aprons and lace caps. They were seated In two rows to the right of .the platform diagonally lacing me amionce Miss Helen McDonald. at the hospital, and the staff of nurses wero seated In the front row of seats. Chairman Dickson announced the onon. lng prayer, which was given fervently uy ev. air. Israel. The Dickson Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar club, seated In tne left passageway, favored the as semblago with a selection. The mem bers of the club are: W. W. Watklns, leader; C. W. Sproule, D. F. Mill and F. ii. snorts. Mr. Dickson occupied the time briefly with an abstract of the work of the training school, nnd told of the good mat it is destined to necomnllsh. Af ter some more music, Dr. H. C. Wood was Introduced as tho speaker of the evening. Dr. Wood's Practical Advice He spoke In an easy, graceful style to tne graduates, and Impressed upon mem the responsibility of the avoca tlon which they are about to undertake. Their work Is one of the grandest In life, because It is devoted to the allevia tion of pain, sickness and suffering. Ihelr prototypes were active In prehis toric times; and the example of the Savior is an Incident, for He whs given to healing the sick. The speaker told how they are expected to conduct them selves, how trying their labors will be, yet, withal, they must bear whatever trials and Inconveniences arise with patience and cheerfulness. The Dick son club was heard again, after which the chairman, In a felicltious address, presented each graduate with her di ploma. Dr. II. V. Logan afterward pre sented them with badges to be worn In dicative of their calling. Tho chairman called upon Dr. Mc- Leod for remarks, and tho reverend gentleman responded. He said If he had not been a clergyman he would be a trained nurse, and he praised Dr. Wood for his excellent words, saying that It was aglow with sunshine. He hoped that as good things shall be said of all future classes and invoked Di vine blessing upon them and all pres ent. That concluded the exercises and the graduates then received the congratu lations of their friends. The "Bonaparte" belt for salo by Turn quest, 205 Washington avenue. SECURITY, CONVENIENCE, PRIVACY.
