with an assault and battery on Mrs. Minerva

the Colonel pushed the latter rudcly against
the hcalbolrl of the bed, aud when Sister

cally described all the proceedings from the
time he rented the rooms until the sisters en-
tered his apartment, prevented him from
changing his clothing, and levied upon some OF
