BURIED ALIVE.
A Gloomy and Terrible Religious Prison
in Naples.

Especial TO The Times by Dunap Cable Co.
NAPLES, Oct. Ga remarkable case Of
religious fanaticism has just been brought
10 light here. In a secluded quarter stands
a conyentual establishment known as the
"Nunnery of the Buried Alive" that has
been closed 70 all public knowledge and in
yestigatiOn certainly during the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant, and reports add thdi
the religious authorities have preserved the
same secrecy for the past four hundred
wears regarding what has happened within
its walls and the character OF the inmates
The veil, however, is at last removed, and
the citizens are lost in amazemeni that such
scenes could for years be enacted in their
midst and no note of warning been sounded,
nor would the revelation now have been
made had not young girl, crossed in love,
been incarcerattd within it's walls. Her
parents, while ut first cOnsenting 10 the BAN
ishment, and even securing II, at last be-
coming alarmed at their inability TO COM
municate with her, appealed TO the police.
The civil authorities, therefore, raided the
place on Saturday on an order ISSUED by
The Minister of Justice. The doOrkeeper
stoutly resisted, but was overpowered by
the gendarmes, who soon found their way
into the cells where the majority of the
wretched inmates were discovered. Sin
teen nuns were found i'm a condition border
ing on insanity. They were scantily
covered with rags, and their surroundings
were filthy in the extreme. Many of the
moor creatures had forgotten how 10 talk
and were more bestial than human in their
demeanor. Those who could be induced 10
speak, protested that they were perfectly
satisfied with their fate. The young girl
for whom the quest was made, was found
reduced TO a mere skeleton. Her parents
are nearly crazcd with grief at the
result of their conduct, as they acted
for what they considered the girls best in
terests. The establishment has, Of course.
been closed, and the victims removed TO one
OF the public institutions, where they will
be well cared for The Governor OF Naples
has ordered the fullest investigation, with
the view Of Furnishing those who shall be
found TO be responsible.
EXCITEMENT INCREASING.
The excitement produced by the discovery
Ct the condition OF affairs in the nunnery OIL
the Buried Alive grows more and more in-
tense instead OF diminishing. Following
out the order of the government
oi the city 10 make the fullest in
veetigation, ten more nuns have been libcr-
a.ed, eight of them being young women
who were incarcerated against their will by
order Of their parents. The managers OF
the police force have been ordered 10 make
raids on all South Italian nunneries which
are closed TO the public. Cardinal san Fe-
lice has left here to-day for Rome In order
~ obtain instructions from the Pope on the
subject.

speech was an arraignment of the
Republican Ofiice-holders Of the county,
who, he said, had resorted to almost every
means to defeat him. lie said that Thomas
Walker, the negro lawyer, was bought for
$50, and he (Stubbs) gave him due bill
for the same. Mr.. Stubs was followed by
the Hon. w. A. Jones, who discussed tariff

fusion to the force bill and his reply to j. NJ.

4 POPEDOM FOR ENGLAND.
To-day the Matin publishes an article as
sorting that movement is bro0ding in
England among the leaders Of the Roman
Catholic and Anglican parties to appoint a
special Pope for England. AS an earnest
for the truth of this statement, the Matln
calls attention TO the recent old Catholic
Congress held at Cologne, where the Estab-
lished Church of England was represented by
Bishop of Salisbury and the Archbishop OF
Canterbury, and America by Jenner, the
former Bishop Of New leland. There were
also present Janiehoil, representing the
Orthodox Greek Church of Russia; Pere
Ilyacinthe and several Jausenists from
Holland. The conference led to no definite
result. though there was vague scheme
advanced TO establish Popedom in Eng
land.

NEW YORK CUSTOM-HOUSE.
The New Tariff Law Throws All business
Into Confusion.


Into Confusion.
NEW YORK, Oct. G.-What business was
transacted to-day at the Custom-ilouse I'M
der the Mckinley Tariff bill was done in
most unsatisfactory manner. The rotunda
and all the offices Of the building were
thronged with excited brokers and import
ers. The clerks who had To figure under
the new law were decidedly at sea as 10
what the rates were, and the importers, who
had a somewhat closer study Of the law,
were not anxious TO help them out, rs they
hoped they might get their goods in urder
the old law. Five minutes after business
opened il was made apparent that
the government had to face new trouble.
A number Of angry importers who had
goods on the steamer La Champagne,
Thingvilla, and others that arrived in port
yesterday, gave notice that they would con-
test the right Of the Government to demand
the new rate of duties from them. The
Mckinley bill, they argue, did not 90 into
effect until to-day. and their goods were IN
port yesterday. That there Is going to he
a hot fight over the matter there can be no
doubt. The value OF the cargoes OF the La
Champagne and Ihingyilla are enormous.
