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.

from the Soldiers' Home, at Hampton
Roads, Va., is nursing Mr. Purdy.

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. Respectfully submitted,
Frances B. Swan, chairman;

EIGHT TRAINED NURSES
Received Diplomas at Exercises Held
in Albright Library Hall.
ADDRESS OP DR. H. C. 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.

Sir: Un'lor the heading, "Nay Aug
Member TnlUg," there uppeared in the
Hrninton" Times last evening an -artlclo
which has done the Crystals a great In
justice and which reflects seriously on the
Nay Auks. That the published statements
was mails to a Times reporter was posi
tively denied by euuh member present at
tho meeting last evening. If reporters
wish to come to the engine house for news
thoy are welcome, but It Is only propor
that they publish such articles given thum
tut news and not listen to the conversation
between members relating to tho affairs
of the company or department. The feel
ing existing between the members of Nuy
Aug and Crystal companies at present
is friendlier thun it has ever been and the
attack made on them by the Tlmos was
unauthorized by tho company or any of
its members.
