Louis Storm, the lad whose leg was
crushed by an accident In the elevator
shaft nt the Hotel Jermyn, was dis
charged from the Lackawanna hospital
Wednesday afternoon. Ills leg has
healed as well as tho hospital physicians
expected it would when Storm was ad
mitted. The limb will never be of much uss,
however. In leaving the hospital young
Storm also liaves a record as one of
tho most unmanageable patients ever
treated In tho Institution.
Young Storm at two different times
since he was admitted to the hospital
attempted to commit suicide. Ones,
only a few weeks after the accident,
he crushed a filas-i between his hands
and then swallowed some of tho line
glass. He wax Interrupted In the act
bj the nurses. Again, he attempted to
diink a quantity of carbolic acid.
"Anton," the orderly at the hospital,

plaster-Paris cast from his Injured leg
and bit at everyone who came near
him.
His tongue also was unruly and he
delighted In Insulting the nurses or
anyone who would visit his room. It
came to such a pass finally that It wan
found necessary to take Storms out of
the patients' ward and give him a cot
In the dining room where ho was alone
with the orderly.
WILL BOND THE BOROUGH.
'Cnj lor People to Own Their Electric
Light U 01 lis.
At a meeting of the Taylor borough
council last Friday night It was de
cided to have a special election, the
date to be decided upon later, to deter
mine whether or not the residents want
to experiment with their own electric
light plant. The scheme Is to bond the
borough In the sum of $10,000. The
money is to be expended In the estab
lishment of a power house for a sup
ply of light throughout the town.
The promoters of the scheme say that
enough money can be collected from
the rental of commercial and house
lights to fully reach the original expen
diture. It is argued that at $90 per
light the borough by expending $10,000
In a lump will In a few years be ahead
of the game.
