Bender, as is alleged, offered his services and after getting the girl in the vicinity of Nor ton street took improper liberties with her and tore some of her underclothing from her person. Her screams attracted the attention of Special Edwards and John J. CIerkin, who is clerk at the almshouse, and the man was arrested, brought to the station in the aims house wagon and locked up.

 MONTREAL, Sept. 12.-A most remarkable case occupying the attention of the Superior court to-day is the petition of Mrs. Peter Lyman, wife of the guardian of the Royal Canadian Insurance company, to be released from an insane asylum.

Four doctors who have testified all agree that her confinement is disgrace. She is perfectly sane and should be immedi- ately released. The poor woman was kept during all this time among pauper inmates, and never once was visited by her hus- band
