E Nothing further was heard by the re- latives until October 22nd, when, to their surprise, they heard that the girl had run away from the institution. The police were informed, and they set quietly to work. On October 25th she was seen at Mc- Andrews’ house, and after that all trace of her has been lost. Detective Hayes. armed with a warrant, to-night searched McAndrew’s house, and placed him under surveillance. He refuses to tell where the girl is hidden, Only to-night it be! came known that McAndrews, on two occasions. implored Doctors Crego and Wood, the medical superintendents of the asylum, to discharge the patient, and that it was upon his petition. and certificates granted by two medical friends. that the girl’s release was obtained. Miss Keefe, whose parents reside at 671 Elk street, will. upon her attaining her majority, come into possessson of her share of a fortune of $175,000, which is to be divided between her brothers and sister. Permission was withheld until June 18 of this year, when it was granted, as the patient showed hopeful signs of recovery. McAndrews kept the girl at Niagara Falls over night, and she was not returned to the institutmn till next day. Next he took her to Crystal Beach. Her relatives heard of this strange familiarity, and for- bade the authorities from allowing the girl to go out with any person except by their consent. ior, Sister Mary Thomas, to take LrIiss Keefe to Niagara Falls, and showed a. letter, purporting to be signed by Mrs. Keefe, granting him permission to take the girl to Niagara Falls on a pleasure Among others who paid considerable attention to the fair lunatic was John A. McAndrews, a retired merchant, who re- sides at 145 Hudson street. McAndrews owns most of the land formerly known as the McAndrewsestate, also several large tracts of land on Fifth street and Front avenue. Socially Mr. McAndrews stands high, his wife having taken a leading part as a patroness of the recent fancy dress charity ball here, the opening social event of the season; while her husband was a steward. A niece of John A. Mc- Andrews, Miss Annie McAndrews, was confined in a cell adjoining Miss Keefe. An acquaintance formed in the corridor between McAndrews and Miss. Keefe ripened, until by the first of the present year McAndrews called at the asylum every day ostensibly to see hlslniece.

Keefe for attempting to roast her baby sister alive. and attempting to take the life of her mother and of her elder sister. The homicidal mania was so violent in the prisoner that it was with great difficulty that she was removed to the Providence Retreat, a private Roman Catholic institution here, for the care of such cases. The maniac was possessed of singular beauty, and was but a little over 17 years old. She was well developed for her age, and her features were an object of admira- ‘ tion to all visitors at the asylum. { A Maniac Maiden JOB CAPS.--- LADIES’ MAN TLES. BOYS OVERCOATS. Solicitors, c.

Theâ€"'higher court. now reverses this decision and orders a. new trial. Mrs. J can Robb Muir claimed the estate as Robb’s sister. Her claim was contested by the state, to which the estate eschested, on the double ground: first, that Robb was an illegitimate child and could have no heirs; 3nd, second, that when he bequesth- ed as in his will he mesnt his lawful rela- tions, and as he had none, being illegitiInste, his unlawful relations could not take it. The case raises the question whether a childless unmarried man of alleged illegiti- mate birth can have any legal heirs. Mr. Robb was a. Scotchman and came to this city many years ago. He died in 1885, leaving property valued at nearly $150,000.
