The Injured Woman.


The Injured Woman.
Lilly Forrest, whose suGerings at the
hands Of one Verhaegen were referred to
on yesterday, still lies in the receiving hos
pital, although she seemed yesterday to be
no worse than when brought there. 1t
will, however, require several days to de-
termine the result of her injuries, as erysip-
elias may set in. She has been made as
comfortable as possible at the hospital.
Yesterday noon her father and sister arrived
from San Francisco, and remained by her
bedside for several hours. They declined
to be interviewed concerning the unfortu-
nate girl. 1t is said that the latter has
again admitted that Verhaegen assaulted
her, but refuses to say much on the subject.
A letter was yesterday found in her bed
room, in which she expresses the belief that
she would die from her injuries. The let
ter contained also some words of farewell
to the man whom she had accepted as q
lover" Although it looks as if she has
made up her mind not to prosecute him,
the officers are not without hope that suffi-
Gent evidence will yet be forthcoming to
convict Ferhaegen of the brutal crime at
tributed TO him, but of which he strenu-
ously processes innocence.

CALLED HoME.-It will be remembered
that a couple of weeks ago Mrs. Andrew
NJ. Thomas residing on ? street. found a
neWly-bOrn infant lying upon the grass in
her yard one morning, the little waif being
wrapped in a scanty bit OF blanket. Mrs.
Hubert first took charge of the little waif,
the care of which has since been shared by
Mrs. James Parrot and Mrs. Dickerson.
The Door infant, thus cruelty neglected by
its unnatural parent, or parents. must have
contracted a cold while lying upon the
damp grass in the cool of the morning, for
it has been ailing ever since, and about
o'clock Yesterday afternoon died. The
ladies who had cared for the poor little
thing, and exerted themselves 70 pres rye
its life, are entitled to much credit for their
efforts in its behalf.
Why Nor NOVA citizen writes to this
Office suggesting that the special policemen
to be placed on duty for fair time be ap-
pointed and set to work before the fair
opens. There is always an influx ofthieves
and laWless characters Just before the fair
opens, and the writer thinks it would be a
wise precaution to have all such characters
looked after as fast as they come. The ex-
pense of an extra weeks duty would
amount 10 but a small sum at most, and
taxpayers generally would not complain of
the expense. If the rogues who follow the
fairs be given to understand that they will
be "jugged" as fast as they put in an APP
pearance they viii be apt to give the city
u wide berth.
