ALLEGED VAGRANTs AND OUTRAGERs.-
Sergeant Vankirk pulled Dominick Byrnes,
John Nackey, Jack Lee, Thomas Conery,
Charles Simonds, Daniel Costello and James
Foley, for being idle persons, with no visible
means of support or particularly honest
purpose in life. Accused were required to
to give bonds to appear at some future
time. In addition, James Foley must have
been on high old tear early yesterday
morning, if it be true, as stated by Mrs.
Ellen Quinn, Front street, that he deliber-
ately and suddenly demolished mirrors, de-
canters, glasses and other stuff, including
an assault on the precious person of Mrs.
Quinn herself. Conery's case seems still
worse, for Sarah Coleman swears that he
attempted TO outrage and did actually beat
her. The above mentioned men visited the
place on Front street about two o'clock yes
terday morning, and made themselves dis
agreeable to the women named to such an
extent that it was necessary to arrest them
and make three different affidavits. If the
statements subscribed to by Officers Moran,
Knupper and yankirk, and the women,
prove well founded, District Attorney
Gutenberg will have serious work on his
hands

4 kidnapping Sensation.
From the Chicago Tribune. |


SPRINGFIELD, Ill, August 3l.-Our citi-
zens have experienced decided sensation
to-day, IN the shape Ofthe abduction or kid
mapping of lady that was to have been
made wife this evening. The facts are
briefly as follows: One of our young and
wealthy citizens was engaged to a Young
lady resident of Springfield, and the we'd
ding was to take place this evening. The
expected groom was Protestant, and the
bride a Roman Catholic. Her friends.
while cOnsenting to the marriage, insisted
that the ceremony should be performed by
a Roman Catholic priest but to this the
young man had decided objections, and the
lady most interested said she would abide
by the decision of her lover. All the ar
rangements were made, the bridal rousseau
procured, house rented and furnished and
three hundred invitations issued The pub
lie was on the up-toe of expectancy; but
yesterday the girl most mysteriously dis
appeared, and the young man has been
using every exertion, with the assistance of
his friends, to find out her whereabouts, but
not trace can be found of her. When the
hour of eight o'clock arrived, this evening.
hundreds of our citizens had gone to the
church, to find it closed, dark aud dreary,
and were informed that there would be no
wedding, the girl having disappeared. Of
course this created decided sensation.
and various surmises and stories are afioat.
Some say she has been Kidnapped by par
ties in the interest of the Roman Catholic
Church; others, that the girl has gone back
on her plighted faith, and others that it is a
conspiracy to wrong and defraud the young
man. In either case the disappointed groom
has the sympathies of the entire public
The friends of the girl have committed a
gross outrage, and one that will not in the
least degree rebound to their credit, or to
the credit of the Roman Catholic Church.

Another old Roman Gone.
From the Homer niad.


Colonel Felix Lewis, Of BienviIle parish,
was gathered to his fathers few days ago.
He was the elder brother of Judge John
Langdon Lewis, deceased. When we came
10 Louisiana, in 1913, these two noble
brothers were seemingly in the prime OF
life; and they were truly model men, both
mentally and physically. It does seem
both strange and hard that such men
should so soon pass away-at least it so
strikes the sensibilities of remembrance at
first and casual thought But then they
both lived to a mature old age, and passed
away in peace, respected and honored by
al the good and true who knew them. But
we can not help feeling sad and lonely in
contemplating their departure from our
society for ever. At best, strange and sad
are the vicissitudes of life; and if therej is
not better world than this for the weary
pilgrims of earth, then indeed ''sad is the
fate" of rs all. But the redeemed of the
Lord shall return with joy and gladness, .
and ''the pure in heart shall see God

Metz.

New YORK, September A correspond
ent of the London Telegraph, writing from
Metz under date of August 16, says the re-
suits Of the late war have produced the
most disastrous consequences upon the
French residents III the border counties.
The Germans are trying to make things
look bright, but they do not succeed. They
get up pleasant concerts, but the natives do
not attend them. Three-fourths of the
women of all classes dress in black. Nearly
half of the population have already emi-
grated, and the other half are preparing to
do likewise. Every other private house is
empty or for sale. German shop-keepers
are rapidly replacing the natives of the soil.
Though there is a general belief among
Frenchmen that Metz will yet be restored
to France, the inhabitants Of Metz feel con
WINGED that no power in the world will ever
wrest Metz from Teutonic grasp, or induce
the Emperor of the Fatherland to yield it
I'D by peaceable means.
