BECKIE BURRIs, a simple minded girl, about
twenty years of age, but not larger than a
child of ten, daughter of James BurrIs,
spectacle culored citizen OF Altoona, died ON
sunday last under most distressing circum-
stances, and from detailed account OF her
der eth, published in the Tribune, il would seem
that among the physicians Ot that city there Is
not much mutual confidence or respect. Beckie,
II appears, had been seduced by negro scOun.
dfel named John Pbpe, and Oh Saturday last
Dr. Krise, formerly of this county, was called
in, her situation at The time being considered
very Critical In the evening of that day, DR.;
X; sent Burris 20 get either DIR. Rowe or DR..
Bell, also former citizen of this COUNTY. To
come and assist him in managing the case, hut
they both refused 10 obey the SUNNI ons. Bur
ris was then instructed to procure any other
physician except Drs, Brennan and Christy,
and went for DR.. Findley, who refused to have
anything to do with the case while it was in
DIR. X hands. DR.. Elliott vas finally induced
to go to the house, bht finding that the girl had
been ChlOrOiOrm by kfisc, he told one OF the
women thar he (k,) did not know how to use
two doctors left, krise telling Elliott to meet
him at o clock, at which time the latter was
once more on hand, but Krise failed TO come
until an hour later, and when he did come
said he would have to abandon tho case, as be
was called to Pittsburgh by a telegram. At
this time the infant was partially born. Then
a prominent physician whose name iswfthhe!d
was called in, and in half an hour the poor un-
fortunate girl was delivered or dead born
child, and in three hours afterwards the moth
er herself died. Weglean all these details from
q long local article in the Morning Tribune OF
