bad jumper hookup

Are you absolutely sure you hooked up the jumper cables in the correct order to the correct terminals/grounds? Sounds like a classic case of a bad jumper hookup frying the alternator or voltage regulator. When I was a young lad, I thought I'd be a good samaritan like yourself...ended up draining my battery and getting myself stranded on a shoulderless stretch of I-93 in on a 10 degree January night.
See if you can get it to a shop, have them test the alternator and VR. Dollars to pesos says it's one of those two.
Good luck
