MRS. LIrsHtTz's CONDITION.
Mrs Lipshitz's condition is deoi
dedly more hopeful today.
She was delivered of a still born
babe yesterday morning, and during
the whole of the day there seemed
little if any hope for her. Bat this
morning she rallied, was able to
take nourishment, and now the
physicians think her chances for
recovery very good.
She has been rational at inter
vals, and has been questioned con.
corning the fearful occurrences of
Friday night, but has been unable
to throw any light upon the matter.
She has made it known, however,

and as soon as she awoke. When
asked whether the murderers were
white or black she said she did not
know.

are caring for her, and she is never
left for moment without the gentle
ministrations of their loving hands.
Her brother-in- aw, Mr.. S. Cru

bat now of Chicago, arrived in the
city this morning, and will assume
charge of her affairs.

to be 20 years old, but looks much
younger. He answers to the name

persons noticed them.
Several days ago the negro went
to Mr.. Miller Moore's residence just
across the street from the Lipshitz
place, and asked to be allowed to use
