ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July 10.-Clarisss
Bounds, . young girl, died here yesterday
from the effects OF horrible burns and the
frightful maltrestment suffered some days
ago in the pineries west Of here. 1t seems
that she had been noted for her beauty
and her wild ways. Some time ago she
left her homo for Dough~ty's coaling in
the pine woods. Whether means had been
used by John Thomas (white) and Joseph
Kelly lcolored), charcoal burners, to en-
tice her TO their camp is not known. She
had beer acquainted with them here, and
went into service in their neighborhood,
but soon joined them 1t their camp in the
woods. At the close Of . drunken spree,
in which the white girl participated, the
white man, girl and negro crawled close
to the smoldering coal-pit, the blasts from
the ocean being severe, and went to sleep
IN the embers. At night the girl aroused
the camp with loud shrieks. She was en-
veloped in flames. When the fire was ex-
tinguished her body ives burned to q crisp
from head to foot, but she had not inhaled
the flames. 1t is believed by many that the
men had poured coal oil on the girl and
fred her clothing. Life was still remain
ing. They assisted her to a hole in the
ground near by. There she was kept
without food or medical attendance for a
day and two nights. Finally the Overseer
for the Poor for the township removed her
to another hole, and there she was again.
with her roasted frame, subjected to the
cold air without treatment. Then she
was brought to the Poorhouse at Smiths
Landing, but was refused admittance. She
prayed for death, but was dragged back to
the woods and again left all night in 9
roofess cabin called .sNigger Hole" with
out care of any kind. Even then she was
e mass Of corruption, but she did not die.
Thrown in q wagon Of straw, she was
brought here, and the awful story Of her
suffering was detailed to the Mayor Of this
place. He said the stencil from her poor,
tortured frame was s%ickening. Yet she
would make no complaint against these
men. They are, however, in the hands of
the authorities. A rigid investigation will
be made at once.
Immigration Through Canada.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Special Agent
Howell. now at Plattsburg, New York, has
called the attention Of the Treasury De-
psrtment to the large number Of immi-
grants arriving at Quebec and Montreal.
and says that many are almost destitute,
having neither money nor friends, and all
too feeble by reason Of age or infrmity to
support themselves. He says most Of this
class OF paupers have been assisted
in their passage, and are ticketed to points
in the western part of the United States.
The Special Agent is informed that 20 per-
sons, who left Ireland only 20 days before,
were found helpless and starving in the
streets of Buffalo, and were committed to
the Erie County Almshouse. All these
people cams to the United States via Cana
ds. Canadian steamers, engaged in i'm
porting cattle to England, make very low
rates for this class Of immigrants from
Ireland to Canada. He says he is also in
formed that . large number Of State aided
immigrants are to leave Toyrus, Ireland,
on the Allan steamer, and are to be sent at
once from Canada to the United States.
