1t appears that the supposed suicide is the daugh-
ter Of NJ NJ. Dorset, doing business at No. 20s
Broadway, New York. The wretch, George ii. Burr,
with whom she eloped to this city. and who cruelty
deserted her after hG had wrought her ruin, is a
travelling agent for a New York wholesale drug
house The elopement took place about two weeks
ago, and about a week since Superintendent of Po-
lice Kennedy received letter from the father OF the
young girl, informing him of the flight, and, he
had reason to believe they had come to Chicago re-
questing him to look after the young couple.
Accompanying the letter OF the father to Superin-
tendent Kennedy is a photograph of his daughter.
