Further Details OF the Cruel Death OF Her
Little Girl.
BELFAST. Feb. 1a.-Further details in regard
to the death OF little Mary Helen Montagu. the
three ear.old daughter OF Mrs. Anne Mar
garet Montagu. show the case against the
mother to be blacker and hlacker. Mrs.
Montagu was committed for trial yesterday at
Coleraine. county Londonderry. on the charge
OF causing the death OF her daughter by lock-
ing her IN in dark room. after fastening her
hands behind her back and securing the string
used in tying the child TO ring In tho wall; It
was added that the child was stripped naked
before being strung up in the manner in
dicated.
The room in which the child was. Imprisoned
was only seven feet square and had no window
or CRATE in 1t. When the door was closed this
room was absolutely dark and entirely DEVOID
Of ventilation. When questioned by tho Cor
mitted that she had on previous occasions sub
mitted her daughter to SINH treatment. The
body of the girl was covered with old and fresh
bruises: blood was issuing from her mouth.
and the child's whole appearance justified the
suspicion thnt she had been treated with sys-
tematic cruelty for q long time pns.. The mt
most indignation Is expressed against the
cruel mother.

the Legislature for 81 900. The city did not
pay the money promptly and the Central
Railroad of New Jersey undertook to get pos
session. Gilbert Collins. when Mayor. and
Allan McDermott. then President OF the Board
q Finance. brought suit before ChancelIor Nc
Gill to compel tho company to vRcate. Chan
cellor McGill issued an injunction restraining
the company from interfering with the prop
erty. and the case was appealed Meantime
thu. company persisted in occupying the land
pany iaborars from tho land and tore up the
judge EnapP assured the clty's attorneys that
the citys rights would be protected. Tho rail-
