Miss Gertrude Hopkins’ Injured Eye Removed.

Dr. English was notified Friday that Miss Gertrude Hopkins’ eye, which was so badly cut from fragments of -her glasses when they came in contact with a safe door at the State bank recently, would have to be removed; that the specialists at the Chicago hospital found it impossible to save the member. This will probably necessitate a longer stay at the hospital for Miss Hopkins, who has the sympathy of the community in her misfortune. Later reports from Miss Hopkins are to the effect that the eye was removed Saturday and she is expected to leave the hospital this coming Saturday, but whether she will return to Rensselaer at once or remain with relatives for a while as previously intended is unknown.
