IN A SAD CONDITION.


QUEBEC. Sept. 29
A letter from Father Fourmaud of the St.
Laurent mission on the Saskatchewan river
to Riels counsel in the city, is published.
The writer draws a narrowing picture of the
terrible destitution and suffering of 260 half
breed women and children in his mission
in consequence of the killing, flight and i'm
prisonment of the male population. Father
Fourmaud states that the women and children
are obliged to shelter themselves in rude
huts, open to every wind. That they are
almost naked in the dav time and without
covering at night to protect them from the
cold.
That they are without even the simplest
articles of furniture; that their principle
article of food just now is nuts, as the miser-
able rations with which they are supplied are
exhausted and that to crown all their misery
they have been told by government agents
that there are no more provisions to give
them. He adds that if this is the last word
of charity which government has to say, it is
equivalent TO a death warrant, not only for
these unfortunate people, but for missiona-
ries as well, as they have already shared their
last bag of flour with the hungry women and
children.

BROUGHT TO PORTLAND.
Andrews. the FOrger, Returns After an
Absence of Seven Years.

PORTLAND, Sept. %.
Marshal Andrews arrived here today with
Willard b. Andrews, who gave himself up to
the Chicago police on the 9th inst. for forgery.
The forgery of checks for $1,000 was done by
Williams, Andrews partner, in 1878, in
Thomaston, Rockland and Portland. Andrews
uttered the checks and escaped while Will
liams served 8 years in State prison. An
drews was never heard from until he gave
himself up. He went to Toronto and specu-
lated in produce. Afterwards he went into
the milling business and failed, losing all
the money obtained by forgery. From there
he went to Chicago and worked at the trade
of painter, afterwards to Hinsdale, Ills.
None of the swindled parties here wish TO
prosecute Andrews. Andrews is physically
and mentally weak, and more candidate for
the insane asylum than prison.
