Editor Of The Stdr:-I take great pleasure in

and the public why the Founding Hospital has
not gone into practical operation. It's organi-
zation followed closely after its Incorporation
by Congress, hut it was without means. Appli-
cation was made to the legislature for an appro-
priation for building purposes. At the second
special session Of the first legislative assemh!g
5000, and in tie following session an addition
al sum OF 50 900 was appropriated, the latter
Since that period all applications for obtain
ing the money appropriated as aforesaid have
been unavaiing till four or five days since
had the satisfaction of receiving the same in
transferred to the treasurer, z. ID. Gilman esq ),
and the secretary, Major A. G. Richards, was
requested to call meeting on the 10th inst. flor
which notices nave already been issued.
The bequest Of Mr.. Pierce was of several lots
.'ds a site for the erection Of hospital for
foundlings," sc. 1t is evident the sums al
ready appropriated are inadequate to the estab-
lishment end maintenance of the proposed hos
pital. The increase of the crime OF infanticide

the same as giving tired horse the whip in

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY.

ROMANTIC CRIME. Recently the whole
quarter of the Riviera di Chiaja Naples, Italy,
was thrown into violent commotion, owing to to, a
tragicaF affair which took place in the villa
Nazionae. resulting in the death OF Miss Ada q
Schiassi and Mr.. j. Fl. Gordon Mr.. ). II;
Gordon, formerly of the British Indian civil
service, had been for some months living at
the 'Pension Anglaise," kept by Madame
Schiassi. Among the four daughters of Ma
dame Schiassi were Ada and Louisa, Twins.
Some time ago Mr.. Gordon became attached
to Ada and proposed to marry her, but the
offer was refused by the mother, as the
young lady was already engaged to young
naval officer
Since then Mr. Gordon (who was about fifty
years of age. and widower) thought Mt to an
nov Miss Schassi with his attentions to such
an extent that the mother was Obliged
to request him to change his quarters
as soon as possible Yesterday morning,
about a quarter before eleven, the twins,
Louisa and Ada Schiassi, went to the
gardens of the Villa Nazionale for the
usual morning walk, where they were met
by Mr.. Gordon, who accosted Louisa, and asked
her why they wished to get rid OF him, aud
also the reason why her sister Ada refused to
entertain his suit On her refusing to listen to
him he left her, and, approaching Ada, COM
menced upbraiding her, and finished by com-
manding her to follow him, which she nnatur-
ally refused to do, upon which he stepped back
couple of PAGES and pulled revo Yer from
his pocket and fired two shots at Ada, which
entered her back, turned the revolver upon
himself, fred two other shots, and fell dead. ;,
The police authorities and great crowd
were Immediately upon the spot, but all efforts
were useless, as both the assassin and his VIC,
tim were dead At the inquest Ada was found
to be shot through the heart. ln Gordon
ing completely severed the aorta
Gordon had taken the precaution to destroy
