APriest IN Trouble.


RALEian, N. c., May 16.-Father
John j. Boyle, the priest in charge of the
Roman Catholic church of the Sacred
Heart, was arrested late last night He
is charged with an indecent assault upon
Miss Geneva Whitaker, the l5.year- old
daughter of ex-Mayor Wesley Whitaker,
u well-known Catholic. II is claimed
that Boyle induced the girl, who is the
organist OF his church, and is small and
delicate, TO go to his room in a building
attached to the church. He then as
saulted her IN the most brutal manner.
She screamed and he threatened TO kill
her, holding pistol al her head. Her
injuries are serious and her condition de-
plorable.
Boyle has been drinking heavily for
some time. He has only been here six
months. Owing to his conduct he was
recently reported to his bishop. He
thereupon threatened 10 kill the man
who informed on him. He is 30 years
old. His father, who is said TO be
wealthy, lives in Philadelphia. Boyle
claims that the case is one of biackmail.
He has secured counsel and has sent to
Philadelphia for his family lawyer The
crime is capital one under the law OF
the state and not bailaSle. The prisoner
was restless in the station house and
cursed aud denounced the Roman Cath
olic church. II is said that Boyle was
secretary TO Governor Hartranft, of Penn
sylvania, at one time, and that he is 4
distant relative of Secretary Blaine.

sr. LOUIS. May 17.-Yesterday morn
ing wild shrek was heard proceeding
from the third story of the Hotel Bar
mum, and q crowd soon gathered in front
of the house. The excitement was In
creased by the appearance of a patrol
wagon and shortly after three policemen
emerged from the hotel bearing between
them the struggling figure of man
covered with blood stained sheet. The
cause of the connection was o man
named p. F. Kirk, of Jacksonville, H.,
who was seized with violent fit of in
sanity during the night. Kirk took a
room at the hotel at 1890, and an hour
later the guests were startled with loud
crash as of breaking glass. A dcmoniac
yell followed and policeman went to
the room, where terrible sight was re-
veaied. The man, completely nude,
with the blood pouring from more than
twenty ragged gashes, was rushing about
the room screaming and beating the
walls. A love affair, in which Kirk was
disappointed, is the supposed cause of
his insaility.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 1S.-South
Glastonbury has been having May fes-
tival in the interest of st. Luke's Episco
pal church, and crowds from the town
and neighboring villages have been in
attendance. Thursday night, after re-
turning from the hall to their homes, over
100 persons who had eaten ice cream at
the festival were taken i'll. There were
calls for doctors from all parts of the
town, and the four physicians were kept
busy caring for the suffering people. The
symptoms in every case were those that
attend poisoning, the sufferers being first
attacked with vomiting and then with
gripping pains in the stomach and convul-
sions In many instances whole families
were taken sick, while in others only q
few Of the members suffered from the
strange disorder. The cause of the
trouble was traced TO the vanilla ice
cream sold at the festival. The physi-
clans express but slight hopes for the
recovery of thirly-four of the victims,
who partook of large quantities of ice
cream. They are ignorant of any known
remedy for the strange disorder, and all
they can do is to administer drugs that
will make the patient more comfortable.
In other cases, where the victims par
took sparlngly of the cream the effects of
the poisoning are less severe, and the
physicians are hopeful of recovery. DR..
Bunce, the town coroner, has obtained a
sample of the vanilla cream, and will
analyze it to determine the cause Of the
poisoning. The cream was made by
John Ritter, who says that, with the ex-
ception of the tiavoring extract, similar
ingredients were used In the manufacture
of other creams. No one who partook
of any other flavor except vanilla suffers,
and the coroner is of the opinion that the
poison was in the vanilla extract. He
has ordered some of it and will analyze
it, All business has been suspended in
