ward OF the New York Hospital are
Amos A. Lincoln and LIZZIE Cunning
ham. Miss Cunningham is the girl, who,
with Mary Fallun. was found last Mon
day morning, ssphyxiated by gas in her
room, at POS Eighth avenue. Miss Fal-
Ion died, and If the Cunningham girl
should recover che will undoubtedly owe
her life to lincoln, . sturdy telegraph
iIneman who, when he heird last Thurs
day that some good strong human blood
was needed to save the gir,'s uie,prompt-
ly offered his own. The surgeoue ag-
eepted, and the operation Of traueius.oa

ent beneficial results until to day, when
she became conscious for the fret time
since her admission TO the hospital. Tbs
chances OF her recovery are now a illtis
better, but she is by no means out OF
danger, the doctors esy.
Lincoln is little the worse for the loss
of nearly two pounds OF blood. He is .
Philade'phian, and is said TO be poor
and friendless. He was brought to the
hospital on November suffering from a
nervous tremor similar TO St. Ntus'
dance, from which he has recovered.
