 On Sunday. January l4, tbe Rev. John | kruell, for the last five months pastor O. | the German Cath l5c Church of tlls city, resigned his charge and received a l letter of good character from the trus- ! tees Of the parish. On Friday or lest
 week Father kruell and Sister Angela. ! the teacher in the parish school, came | Co the Commercial hotel and engaged
 rooms, Sister Angela being accampau-eu | by a young woman, saId Co be ,it | priests housekeepeT. On S3-urI7y tIc | Rev. NIT. Phillips, rector oi St. Pduls Episcopal Church of kankgEee, received | 8 call from Father krugL Inc visitor
 informed Ar. Phillips t5at he wished ! the latter tO marry him and Sister An
 gela that day. In all his clerical eX-
 perisnca Mr. Phillips had never been confronted with such a situation, and
 he begged for time iu which Co consider the matter. He then held 8 long con versation with Father krusll. who gave him his reasons for leaving the church of Rome lpTomnent among which was
 his love for the womanL and expressed
 e church. On Sunday Father hrUeil and
 Sister Angela were both at St. PauiS,
 the former attending the morning and
 evening services. Tn considering the
 practical question how he was to sap
 port himself and a wife, Father krasu
 was advised to advertise himself 1s G
 teacher of language. In pursuance 1.
 that idea, the revereneI gentlemen sent
 word tO the local editor 0- the
 Gazette, requesting the latter Co Tislt
 him at his room and receive full state-
 ment of the case. Tn response to tha iu-
 vitatiOn, the writer called at room --
 Commercial hotel and interviewed .lc
 apostate priest. The impression gained
 in the interview was that Father krue.
 was weakening. He manifested singular
 reluctance in talking about tle mat.er-
 concerning which he had sent for a -g.
 porter to interview LIm. lie s-eu5J d
 anxious that nothing w1gli be
 published at present, he wished t1 wat
 for further developments il his ease.
 As tae writer was about to leave Father
 BsaudOin, president of fine c1liaE
 BOurbOnnais, came into the room. Ia a
 few minutes Fathers BeaII1iu and
 kruell passed out of the hO,el together
 Between 6 and : o'clock m Che cvcUI1-
 Father BeaudOin returned guI paid Che
 bills o- Father kruell shd Sister Angel. and asked for the formers baggage This the l1ndlOrl refused Co surrender except on Father kruelfs written UIdel About I o'clock a man lrouCh- writ ten order from Father kruel, but tl.

G-riu the evening she was visited by leading member of the German Catholic Clurs. who gave her SlJ with which Go l-y ticket to Quincy. IT,, where her ar'tls lives. Al about ] o'clock m tie morn ing Father K-ueli appeared at the hots and held Eu hOur's interview with his iauce. On tse Ic'Ioviu afternoon she was called upon u MT. Phillips. She was quite .gticeu- but said It was all over between terse. and her lover; that they would never sta each other again.

 way. Later in the day she again her mind and declared her Il- tention to leave on the night train for Quincy. Shortly before supper ebs and 8 young woman friend who a9j been be- companion throughout all these pro. ceedIugs, left the hotel, and not lon. afterward came a written order from the leading church member above al l luded So t0 hold her baggaZe until further orders. Up tO this writing "Wednesday nOon) the lady had not re turned to the hotel, nor has her trunk l been called for.
 Sister Angela is about thirty years 1' ! age, @ comedy, wholesome looking Ger man lady. She has been @ uuu for fo-- teen yegrs and teacher in the German Catholic school Of this cItv for fu1 years.
