A..De,foit c Mich, special of the 11th
says: The Polish settlement in the
northeastern part of the city is in q fer
ment of excitement over the scandal con-
csrhi66- Rey. Father Dombroski, the
priest of the Polish Catholic church,
who was arrested on capias OF yesterday
for seduclng a servant girl, who had
given birth to a child, and paid $l,10e
to settle the matter. Last
night ~ excited mob of Poles
broke into the house, IRONS which
he had fled inrfesr. turned his servants
into the street and demolished the furni-
ture. To-day the priest commenced
legal proceedings against the .ring-leadt
ers. This aggravated the feeling against
him, and to night acr61diuScoured the
settlement seeking the reverend father,
with, the avowede intention Of hanging
him. He had fed for life, and is suppos.
ed to b secreted sby1brother priests. II
is believed that Bishop Burgess will
strip him of his robes of Office and sci
him adrift. s;7iaa = &C..

American edition of it will shortly appear,
and at price that will enable all classes to
read and profit by it.
