to the reporter that the ladies had gone to Bos-
ton to look after the effects Of the deceased sis
ter. At the time the theory seemed ridiculous,
but later developments make it the most prob
able explanation of this strange affair and add
another illustration of the oddities of feminine
humanity.
THE SEQUEL.
About O'Clock last evening Marshal Parker
went to the cemetery TO see if the tombs had
been carefully searched. He discovered that
they had all been opened which were open
on Saturday. On his way to the city he learned
that Miss True, living on Gray street had
seen the missing ladies at o'clock in the
Eastern depot. The Marshal nd Deputy
Bridges at once went to the resi- of Miss
True, and she told very ghtforward
story. She returned from ton Saturday
evening at o'clock, and on arriving in the de-
pot recognized the two ladies. They had
bought ticket for Scarboro', and were proba-
bly, to stop at their uncle's near the depot until
the midnight train arrived, where they were to
take it for Boston. 1t is to he hoped that they
will accomplish the object of their rather hasty
visit. Those who spent the most of the day
scrambing about the woods III the rear of the
cemetery yesterday will of course be delighted
to know that the ladies are safe
The denouement of this tragedy is not with
out effect upon reporters, officers and the crowd.
The former after day Of laborious research
had mounted their Peg asuses and were prancing
among the tombstones, pursuing these lonely
females as they wandered through the streets of
ba nj tu of no daad dnSl ctr
on and the wind walled lugubriously, and then
the reporter was preparing to picture them
shut up in tomb, which they had entered by
the vigorous use of crowbar. spending night
in close communion with the dead. The Argus
man had prepared 70 do it in poetry and a
couplet or two had been ground out when it
was announced that the women had gone TO
the unpoetical town of Scarboro' and the ma
chine stopped.
The officers such of the IN as were wicked,
INDUCED in something approaching profanity
and wished the women in Halifax, though they
we're somewhat eonsoled at tfesthought that
they we're in Scarboro'. The one that had
caught the tramp coming out of the tombs was
peculiarly miserable and his faith in woman
has been badly shaken.
As for the women they will wake up this
morning and find themselves famous.
p S.-Mr. J. E. Sturgis and Mr.. Banks re-
turned from Scarboro' at about o'clock this
morning where they had been in pursuit of the
lost women. They found them sleeping serene
ly. They saw their uncle at whose house they
were, but he could give no explanation except
that they were seized with a sudden desire to
visit the avuncular mansion and visited it &C.
cordngly.

UNDAY SERVICES.
JEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.


Rev. A. S. Frost of Salem, Mass, supplied
Mr.. Hayden's pulpit. He is a young man
originally from Michigan. He preached an able
and interesting extemporaneous discourse from
Mat XII, %, 20 and 80. ''Come unto Me all ye
that labor and are heavily laden,'' &c. We
have here proof Of the divinity of Christ, for
how could any mortafsor angelic being dare to
call upon mankind to take his yoke upon them.
But how shall we go to Him? To the finite
mind the Lord appears at an Infinite distance;
but He is not so far off as He appears and has
provided WY by which we may come TO
Him. Who denies the word denies the Lord.
If We conform to the teachings of the Lord in
"Come unto Me- With the first yielding to
obedience BY little child it begins to approach
the Lord. AS we obey He comes to us an we
go to Him. and meet in the innermost recesses
of the soul. Who are the heavily laden? The
rich with their wealth, the poor with theii dis
tresses, the good with their temptations, the
bad with their cobsciences, none are exempt
from the heavy burdens of mortality. We can
only receive rest by casting out evils from our
mind and allowing heavenly influences from the
Lord to flow in. The rest which the Lord gives
is not Sabbath of idleness, not cessation
from doing good, but that exceeding peace,
which cometh from continually doing the will
of our Master. How strange that man dares
in his pride to oppose the will of the Lord by
disobeylng His commands; how glorious and
gracious is the Lord that He was willing TO
humble Himself and go down to man in his
loWliest estate and lift him up! The anxeties
and troubles which beset US arise from our sell
fish consideration of self. If man devotes
himself to the good of others he finds himself
at peace with the Lord and with his own soul
That is why peace reigns in heaven.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-Saturday morning about
half past seven, man by the name of Thomas
Cronan, about fifty years old, slater by trade,
in the employ of Mr.. G. Winship, was going 10
work on the roof of Curtis gum factory, on
the corner of Deer and Fore streets, with
boy about fourteen years old to assist him. He
sent the boy out after some zinc. and nails and
went out on the roof alone. Augustus Griffin,
who is in the employ of Mr.. Curtis. was at
work in the shop and heard him on the roof
walking round, and soon after hearing groan,
he looked out of the window and saw Cronan
lying on the sidewalk. He went down, helped
bring him into the shop, and ran for DR.. True,
who found that the man had broken his arms
and one of his legs in several places, and
smashed his face all to jelly, but life was ex-

his pockets was broken, but his watch which
was in his vest pocket was not broken at all.
