the customary devotional exercise During
the coming six months she will be required
to conform to the routine and discipline of
the order, but her attire will be largely op-

ever, TO prove her faithfulness and the con-
ventual life will be very different from tina,

The Church VIII Get the Money.

The "postulate" is one of three sisters who
inherited from their father the enormous
fortune, as now estimated, of $2l, 000, 600
The way in which it was left also has an I'M
portant bearing. In case either of the three
daughters should marry and have an heir
the heir inherits the whole fortune after the
daughters deaths. If neither should leave
an heir the entire fortune goes to the Roman
Catholic church Miss Kate has quite a
large fortune, independently inherited from
her mother, who died before her father, but
should she remain in the order her income
from her interest in her fathers estate, and
probably her share of the principal, amount

has good complexion, sweet expression

TO reach far below her waist. One of the
sad thoughts in connection with her with

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.

The Cronin Case Seems To BE Another
Sort of Criminal Affair.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE police arrested 6
MAI named Frank g. Woodruff yesterday on
the charge of horse stealing. Last evening
the prisoner confessed TO having stolen q
aorse and wagon from Deans barn, 4Ot
Webster avenue, about o'clock on Sunday
orning last, and soon after met by appoint
ment DR. P. A Cronin, William King, and
Dicl; Fairburn at the barn in the rear of the
residence at 52S North State street.
The Bloody Trunk.
A trunk containing the body of a woman
was placed in the wagon, into which King
and Fairburn then entered with Woodruff
leaving DR.. Cronin at the barn Woodruff
then drove the body end his two companions
to Lincoln park, where King and Fairburu
removed the corpse from the trunk, and
Woodruff drove on alone to the place in
Evanston avenue where the empty trunk was
found some hours afterward.
The Victim in the Case.
From conversations between Cronin King
and Fairburn, which Woodruff overheard
he judged that the body was that of a woman
who had been killed by an abortion, perhaps
performed by DR.. Cronin. The police are
investigating to discover whether the
wealthy man residing at 52s North State
street, from where the body was taken is in
any way implicated in the affair

comes :" Bride of Christ Her Arrival
at Pittsburg and the Preliminary Pre-
paration-A Big Thing for the Church.
New YORK, May 11-Miss Kate Drexel
has suddenly become an object of unusual in
terest. Rumor has it that she is about to en-
ter a convent and relinquish her rights to a
vast fortune and station in life which would
render the world enjoyable to almost any
one Yesterday morning her two sisters and
her uncle, Mr.. A. J. Drexel, sailed for Europe
Before leaving their homes they babe an
earthly farewell to Miss Kate, who has
startled society by resigning the world and
all her millions of money to become postu-
late or "earnest-seeker" in the order of the
Sisters of Mercy.
An Affecting Scene.
On Monday morning Miss Drexel attended
mass in St Johns church in Philadelphia,
and chose that sacred place to take farewell
of her relatives, excepting such as were to
accompany her and one or two very intimate
friends. She was attired all in black, and,
according TO custom, knelt in front of the
altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary
The mass over her distant relatives and one
or two others and her old governess and her
maid and one two faithful servants
crossed from the other side and babe her
farewell She kissed them all Although
evidently deeply and greatly affected, she
did not shed any tears, and in this very
severe ordeal showed remarkable firmness
and fortitude. All the necessary arrange
ments had previously been mad, and with
her two sisters and Mr.. Morrell she drove di-
rect to the station and took the train for
Pittsburg, arriving at the convent Monday
night.

CHICAGO. July 3O-A motion of p. O'Sulli-
vans attorney for change Of renue was
argued before Judge Horton this morning.
All five prisoners were brought into the
courtroom. which was packed TO suhoca-
tion, partly with friends Of the suspects
and partly with people who bad been
drawn thither by mere idle curiosity
Judge Longenecker made short speech
opposing the motion for a change Of ceniP.
He said two citizens who signed the atiida-
Wits 20 the effect that they believed
OSulliyan could not get q fair trial
before Judge Horton or Judge Hawes
were unknown. They had neglected
TO state who they were and what their
business was. For all the Court knew they
might have been imported from Indiana
or Wisconsin for no other purpose than to
make these affdavits. The attorneys Of
OSulliyan declined 20 enter upon an eX-
tended argument, but presented 10 the
Court a few opinions IN support Of their
motion. In regard 10 the motion 20 quash
the indictments against the prisoners the
counsel for the defence opposed the imme-
diate consideration Of the matter. The
Court took the whole matter under advise
ment.
