WAYNE PARKER SADLY STRICKEN.

F. M. Parker and son ’Oren, the latter of the firm of Rowles & Parker left ibr New York City, Sunday forenoon, called by the distressing news, by telegram that their son and brother, Wayne Parker, was sick with that most dangerous disease, spinal meningitis. The telegram gave no particulars of his con- | dition, but evidently it is very ser- ! ions as it requested them to come at once. Wayne is one of the most promising and worthy young men Rensselaer ever produced; He is now in his last year as a student in the law department of Columbia University, perhaps the leading law school of the country. He is at St. Luke’s hospital, in New, York, and has been sick about two weeks. It was at first thought he only had the grip, and later it was thought typhoid fever, and the true nature of the disease was only recognized a ’day or two ago. Another dispatch, received early this Monday morning said he was conscious, and nor suffering any. No encouragement was held out, however, as to the final result jof the disease.
