SEALED IN A CLoISTER.

Life Fasting and Praying.


Life Fasting and Praying.
At the Corpus Christi monastery of
the Dominican nuns at Hunts Point, n
community of women were n week ago
sealed in cloistcr which they will
never leave alive. There was little or
no ceremony. The women, many
prospects, are TO devote their
whole lives to prayer. alteration OF
the blessed sacrament and fasting. Last
week the monastery, with its beautiful
chapel, was blessed by Archbishop Cor.
rigan. of New York. The sealing Of
the cloister took place at O o'clock In
the morning. All the visitors left that
part of the monastery, and assembled
In the chapel. A heavy wooden door
leads from the cloister to IL. This has
two locks, one on the inside and the
other on the outside. The mother
prioress turned the key in the inside
lock, and one OF tho sisters, who
looks after the outside affairs of the
monastery, locked the other one. As
long ms the monastery stands and Is
used by the nuns no visitors will be al.
lowed To pass through tina, door, II
Will be opened to receive new mem
bcr of the community. Even Arch.
bishop Corrigan win go into tho
cloistcr only once year, when he
makes his annual visitation. He
must be accompanied by two
or more priests then. Whenever any
Of the nuns are taken sick the physi-
elan who Is to attend the patient,
In order To enter the cloistcr, must have
n permit from the archbishop and tho
supcrioress. Even when nun is on
her deathbcd her relatives will not bo
allowed to go into the cloistcr to sec

clustered communities, like that of

In this country, and the Trappists,

those OF this order. The American

Chilean News

WASHINGTON, November 1.-Secre-
tary Tracy this afternoon received the
following dispatch from Captain Schley,
dated yesterday:
.Petty Officer johnson, In whose arms
Riggin was killed, declares that the act
was done by the police guard. Appren-
tice Williams reports that he was arrest
ed by mounted policeman. who placed
catgut nippers around his wrist and
started his horse on gallop, throwing
him down. After that the policeman
walked his horse.
"Coal Heavier McWilliams was arrest
ed and taken to prison with catgut nip
pers around his wrists and lasso around
his neck.
''He was bitten in the arm after arrest.
Coal HEAVIER QuigIey, while trying to
effect escape from the mob, was struck
with sword by a police officer. Ap-
prentice Talbot was arrested, catgut
nippers were placed around his wrists
and on the way to prison, he was struck
repeatedly by the police.
''Petty Officer Hamilton dangerously
wounded and unconscious, was dragged
to prison. One OF my people, trying to
make him comfortable, was threatened
with the butt Of musket and made to
desist.
"My men in prison were examined Sc
cretly, although / sent an officer to the
court to request authority to allow his
presence. The request was denied on
account of the proceedings being Sc
cret.
Before discharge, my men were re-
quired to sign paper, but before do
! ing it, Rinehart asked the court official
the meaning of the paper. He was In
| formed that it was mere form stating
that the signer was not engaged In the
trouble.
1.-TWO are dead, three dangerously
wounded, and about fifteen are slightly
injured. Surgeons believe the wounded
are out Of. danger. The seamen whose
names are referred to 10 the above dis
patch are as follows:
"Boatswains mate, Charles W. Rig
gin, twenty-eight years old, enlisted at
League Island, Pa, killed; apprentice,
Francis D. Williams, nineteen years
old, enlisted at Baltimore, Md; coal
HEAVIER. Patrick McWilliams, twenty
! five years old, enlisted at Boston; coal
HEAVIER, Joseph Quigley. twenty-nine
years old, enlisted at New York; ap-
s.antioa, InhH-W- Talbot, twenty years
old, enlisted at New York; carpenters
mate, John Hamilton, dangerously
wounded. forty-nine years old, enlisted
at New York.
"In addition to these mentioned
above, according to the dispatch pre-
viously received, coal HEAVIER VIM.
Turnbull was also killed, aged twenty
three years, enlisted at Boston; coal
HEAVIER George Painter, aged thirty
years, enlisted at Boston, Mass, and

ty-four years, enlisted at Norfolk, Va,

In return for the aurrender OF her
European trade, the proposed Customs
Uniou would have some chance OF ac-
ceptance.
''Unable to do this, the Washington
Government would not forgive the
Chilean resistance to their pet scheme
of zolverein. Their spite was shown
in the pursuit OF the Itata, which was
treated like slave dhow.
''lt required all the authority OF the
Paris agents of the Chilean Congress,
numerous kilograms having been sent
by them TO the commander Of the Esmer-
aida to prevent the Esmeralda from

A further proof of this hostility Is
found in the action of the United States
Admiral In watching the insurgents at
Quintero and reporting their move
ments back to Balmaceda. The atti.
tude Of the United States over the
sailor affray Is unjustiable.
'The United States Government ought

New YORK, October Among the
Immigrants landed at the Barge ONCE
to-day from the Hamburg, AmeIlcah
steamer Fuerst Bismarck, wh,cn
reached this port yesterday, was 0er-
man family named Muller.
There were the mother, her son
John. twenty-four years old, and daugh-
ter Marguerite, aged twenty-five, De-
sides q son-in-law and his two children.
The daughter was seen to be IN an IN
teresting condition and evidently quite
near to the elimination OF her trouoie.
When questioned by the bureau OIL
ficials, she indicated that her orother
John was the responsible person. Az
this time the attaches Of the barge Of
flee had no knowledge OF the relation
ship existing between the pair and tney
were held, the remainder OF the family
being permitted to go ashore.
Marguerate was told that unless she
and her betrayer were married tney
would both be sent back to their Ter
man home. She responded at once that
she was quite willing to take him Tor a
husband, and he In turn expressed
equal willingness to make her MS w'ie'
So an official escorted them to Pastor
Kyle's residence, and they were MADE
husband and wife. -,
After the ceremony 1t was found that
the mother had their railroad ticket Tor
Elsin, H., and search was made ior her'
She was found at the Emigrart Mission
House and was told that her daughter
was married and at liberty to accompany
her on her journey.
The mother expressed much astonish-
ment and demanded to know TO whom
her daughter had been married. On
being told, she threw up her hands ana
e,uis,->a A. horror: "Why, that Is my
son; they are OrUUHer .nd sister.
The scene that followed, beggars de-
scriptiou. Upbraidings and recrimina-
tions by mother and daughter followed,
while the son, brother and husband
John, who had entered the room, looked
on ia solid indifference.
The girl persisted in her statement
that John was the father OF her unborn
child, while the mother protested that a
soldier stationed in Mecklinberg, Ger
many, was the author Of the trouble.
The brother would make no statement,
neither admitting nor denying the
charge.
The mother succeeded in exciting be-
lief in her story of the German soldier,
and the conclusion was reached that the
girl had implicated the brother in order
to secure their release from the Barge
Office.
Brother and sister were remanded to
the detention room pending further In
vestigation.
