TOUCHING CASE OF DISTRESS came up before
Recorder Long yesterday. Mrs. Josephine Miller, a
poor woman living at the corner Of Vaudeville and
Goodchidren streets, appeared in Court, weeping,
and leading by the hand her child Josephine pretty
girl five years old. motherly old German woman
was along, also weeping. The of this distress
was soon apparent the little girl pretty and tender
looking as she was showed herself to be wildly in
sane, ravng mad Her behavior and her mad screams
were perfectly appalling. Every moment she would
spring like cat at her mother, with shouts and
screams then jump up and down, stamp the floor
with her little feet alternately, and try to tear her
hair refusing to be comforted and not noticing any.
body appearing to have the least spark Of reason.
Her conduct was such that her mother had to take
her out Of Court whilst the affidavit of insanity
being made. The old German woman said the child
had been that way for two years slept but little,
and took her food only by compulsion and kept the
house in which she lived distracted, day and night,
with her spssnodc screams. The mother was broken
hearted to find her child becoming and more an.
manageable, and to know that she would have to part
with her. The Dntchwoman was weeping for the
mother; oh, tat poor woman and paby,'' she said,
too pad too pad; it preaks de heart of eferypody"
She told how, in pity to the mother, she had taken
the child to relieve her, and how her husband made
her take the child back because he could not sleep at
night for her. The child is said to have become crazy
originally under bad medical treatment for teethng.
The little sufferer was sent to the Insane Asylum,
where she will certainly bea piteous and most trouble
some charge.
FRESH STORIES of outrageous dongs by squads Of
young men at night in the back part of the Second
District, continue to reach u.s. We hear that mum.
Der of them went to house where there was party
the other night and were refused admission as they
had no tickets. They went away; but at later
hour returned broke into the house, made the inn ates
scatter in every direction, and caught and cruelty
beat and kicked one man. We have also several
accounts of persons being stopped the streets and
searched and robbed by parties of young men un-
known to them. These may not be the same young
men whom Lieut.. Gastinel admitted went about in
masks, on harmless frolic but whoever they are,
the police should make it their special ambition to
get after them and if possible catch them and bring
them to punishment.
