ToMFoOLERY AT oNFoRD.
Undergraduates Engage in Sacrilegious
Pastime.

G1stlme.
OXFORD, December 6-Queen's College
was lately the scene o: d serious outbreak
among the undergraduates a party of
fifteen or sixteen young men set out in
masquerading costume The leader was
dressed as a bishop. with mitre and
crozier Among the others there were one
nun, two acolytes with censerS and incense,
and the rest in surplices, and all bearing a
sanctimoniOus and highly mock decorouS
look and Semblance. They marched in
procession. and carried cups containing
large doses of whiskey and others filled
with water. while number of biscuits
concluded the dietary portion of the esca-
pade all Of which was covered with white
cloth.
The masqueraders went the rounds of
the college, battering open doors and fore
ing their way into the bedrooms OF the
freshmen. When they had dragged out Il
sufficient number of victims and gathered
them together, shivering in their scant
night dress. the maSQucraderS proceeded
to celebrate high mass, and forced their
victims to 90 through the ceremony to its
smallest detail, being urged all the time
with cutting blows from switches in the
hands Of their tormentOrs.
They we're forced to drink quantities OF
the whisky and gorge themselves with the
biscuits. Many were compelled, by fear oi
further blows, to cat and drink far beyond
their comfortable capacity. The party
then broke up, but five of the participators
went to the room of fellow student who
had as yet not been disturbed, and dragged
him out of bed, stripped his night shirt
from him and tore it into shreds, and then
carried him into the court. where they
tied him TO tree and left him.
The outraged man appealed TO the au-
thorities and gave the name of the aggress-
ors. The Dons, after hearing the case, de-
cided that the charge of blasphemy was
not proven, but the forcing of their way
into the mems rooms was pronounced to be
brutal outrage, and punishment was
dealt out accordingly. Two men were
sent down for good, two more were rusti-
Gated, and the others were gated for one or
tyO terms

THEY WERE RICH,
But Lived Miserably, Therefore Burglars
Thought They Had Money in the House.


SIOUX CITY. a., December 6.-Wm.
Oemig, who lived with his father Chris
tian Oemig. was shot and killed by burg
lars who entered his fathers house last
night. Although they have real estate and
other property valued at 5000 the two
men have lived in wretched quarters. 1t
was the talk of the neighborhood that they
hid large sums of money about their house.
The old man and his son heard the burg
lars and William sprang out of bed and
met them as they broke in the door. n ter
rible struggle ensued. Several shots were
fired. one of which passed through Will
liam's lungs and he sank helpless on the
floor. The old man, who is 30 years old,
was attacked and dubbed to insensibility.
The burglars made a hasty retreat without
securing any money, although II IS learned
thatthere was 5000 in the house. The
theory is that the burglars were people
living in the vicinity, and one man has
been arrested on Oemig's Identification.
