A Young Girl Refuses to Take Medicine
When Very IlI-Her Faith In
Divine Healing Only Broken
rsPKc1AL TELBeRAM TO THE pTsPArCH.


nsPxcrAI TELEoRAM TO THE DISPATCH
NEW YORK, December 16.-Nineteen-
year-OId Frances W. Anderson died to-day
at the boarding house of Mrs Buckman, in
Brooklyn, of hasty consumption, after per-
sistently refusing to take medicine which
had been prescribed, and which at least
would probably have prolonged her life.
She and her sister, who is year younger,
we're orphans, and were the wards OF Louis
A. Burchard. Each was worth about $2O,
600, left by their father.
The sisters, who were well educated, came
from Louisiana about five years ago. and
after staying for some time at the house of
relative went to live with Mr.. Burchard.
Four years ago Frances was confirmed in the
Church of the Reformation, in Gates ave-
nue., bv the Rev. DIR. Backus, and she has
since been q communicant and a regular at
teIdapt at the services. She was firm be-
lever in the faith cure craze and woald not
take medicine when attacked by rheumatism
and afterward consumption.
ST am not i'll, said she. eff were, it
would be sin to take medicine. Does not
God say Z am the great physician?'"
Dr. Bliss, Mr.. Burchard, the Rev. DR..
Backus and other friends told her of the
serious nature of her illness, but all
their entreaties failed to induce her
to receive medical treatment. When she
became alarmingly Ill few weeks ago, she
was taken, at her own request to the house
of Mrs. Buckman. Drs. Bliss and johnson
continued to call regularly, but the girl, al
though growing weaker, steadily refused to
take any medicine, and as long as she re-
mained conscious her resolution could not
be changed.
DR.. Bliss visited her for the last time on
Sunday, and found her in dying condi-
ton. Her death occurred soon after
o'clock this morning. The certificate of
death which DR.. Bliss forwarded to-day to
the health department was not filed out in
the regular manner. The case was referred
to Coroner Lindsay by Commissioner Griffin,
and an inquest will be held.

A LONG AND CRUEL JOURNEY.
Two Children Deserted After Walking From
ST. Louis TO New York.

Two Children Deserted After Walking From
81. Louis to New York.
NEW YORK, December 16.-Matthew
Goetz, an elderly man, was arTaigned in the
Essex Market Police Court to-day on the
charge of cruelty deserting his two children,
William, aged II, and Matthew, aged s
years. About six months ago Goetz, who
then lived in St. Louis, told his wife that
he would take the two boys out for walk.
The walk extended from st. Louis to this
city and took three months to accomplish.
The children were obliged to sleep in the
open air most of the time, were exposed to
all sorts of weather, and mad to beg their
food.
On arriving here the father deserted them
in the streets, and left them to shift for
themselves. They came under the care of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, who found an aunt oftheirs liv-
ing here, and she took charge of them.
Search was made for the father and it was
found that he had married a widow on
Long Island. A watch was kept on HIM
and on his first visit to this city he was ar
rested. 1t is probable he will be charged
with bigamy.
