fashioned drunk. After visiting all
the well-known resorts of their color
they drifted into the house of Edward
Adams. who lives at No. 81 Lum
street. Adams, it seems. was O sort OF
lover of theirs. About nine o'clock
Adams came home and found the two
intoxicated females in possession OF
his house. To this he objected, and
as they did not seem inclined to GO,
Mr.. Adams took them gently in his
arms and pitched them out head first
and locked the door. They
tried to get in again, but
could not. SO they held a
consultation of war and decided to
get some more beer, which they did.
About eleven o'clock they same back
to Adams house, bent ON vengeance.
They succeededin getting in and found
Adams asleep. After consulting as to
what was the best thing to do one OF
them happened to spy an oil can IN
the corner. With fiendish intent she
grabbed it and poured its contents
over the sleeping man, and procuring
q match set his clothes on fire and n
two women made their escape.
Adams was shortly awakened by the
heat and succeeded, with the assist
ance of a neighbour, in subduing n
flames, but not before he was badly
burned all over the body. He was
cared for and last night made a COM
plant against the two dusky tiends,
and Justice Rodrigo issued a warrant
for their arrest. The warrant was
taken out by Sergeant Force and they
will, without doubt, be in jail this
morning.

A Story from the Cloister.
There is serious trouble in the
Catholic Parish of st. Barnaba's, of
Newark, composed mainly Of Ger
mans. Father Theodosious, a devout
monk, of st. Mary's Benedictive Mon
astery, was assigned some time ago
by the Abbott to the pastorate of the
church. He was loath to leave the
cloister, but, true to his vows, he
obeyed. The parishioners soon learned
to love him for his gentle ministra-
tions, encouragement and fatherly
care. But he became tired of contact
with the world and the discomforts oil
a pastors life, and he sent in his resig-
nation to the Abbott and asked per
mission to return to the cloister and
his books. Some of the members
went to the Abbott and urged him not
to accept the resignation.
Then followed rumors that the good
Father had paid too much worldly at
tention to a wealthy widow of the
congregation, and scandals tongue
began to wag. These umo reached
the a of Father Theodosius, who
not only Indignantly denied the
charges, but resolved to ferret out the
author of the wicked scandal, and
lawyers and detectives are aiding him
III the matter. The lady in question,
