Sad case --Ellen Welch was recently fined five dollars and committed to Bridewell for ninety days, in Chicago, for drunkenness and vagrancy. The Chicago Journal says that she is the since of Daniel "Connell, the daughter of his sister, Mary O'Connell — and that she could claim as her father the lord of Kearney Castle. She eloped with a young officer, and the couple came to Philadelphia, where they resided one year, when her husband died." The widow came to Chicago, married again, lost her husband, got into disreputable company, and went from bad to worse, until she brought up in a police court.
