The Chinamen were soon removed to the Sister’s hospital, and Dr. Stephens sent for, who did all in his power for them. Deah Poul’s skull was so badly smashed that the doctor aban- doned all hope of his recovery from the start. Pieces of the skull were removed from the brain, and a neat bit of trepanning done, but poor Poup was never able to speak from that time until his death, which occurred Wednesday. His right side was paralyzed, and he seemed to suffer terriby. Quin Sing’s wounds were dressed, and he is now on a sure road to re- covery.
