seemly levity INDUCED In by at least one

Yesterday morning Miss Nassar was
early in church, Inc instead of going to
her fathers pew she took her seat in
the choir, where she was a listener to
Mr.. Pelletrcau's sermon on department
in church. In concluding. he reminded
the vestry and congregation that by the
canons of the church the rector had the
full direction Of the music. and that
from his decision there was no appeal.
Those OF the congregation who knew
Of the event of the previous Sunday
evening comprehended the import Of the
sermon, and hoped that 1t was the con-
clusion of a dlsagreeabie episode. But

At the close Of the chanting of the
"Magniticat" he stopped abruptly. and,
stepping to the centre OF the chancel,
commanded Miss Vassar to at once leave
the church. Instead OF complying. she
rose to her feet and refused to do so.

PAT C0NROY'S LETTERS.
HE WAS NOT PLEASED WITH MR..
O'DEA'S WAYS.
A Case which Promises to BE of Long
Duration-A City Real Estate
Agent Concerned in
the Affair.

The litigation over the disputed will
of Patrick Conroy, deceased, was re-
sumed before Judge Clark yesterday in
department two.
The case. while lacking the varied and
interesting features OF the Langford and
Pratt cults, promises to equal them both
in length, the depositions on both sides
being many in number. The only local
interest in the case is that afforded by
Mr.. O'Dea. who claims to be the de-
ceased's executor.
The only evidence yesterday of note
was contained in several letters written
by the deceased, P. Conroy, to his sis
ters, which documents were read in evil
dence.
The letters were written from Ward
ner, Idaho. and contained uncompli-
mentary references to Mr.. O'Dea, who
was conducting the deceased's business
affairs in this city. In these epistes
Conroy declares that if he once gets out
of O'Dea's clutches he will never enter
them again. Iu another he declares he
can get no satisfaction from O'Dea, and
that such friends are of no use to any
one.
But" he continues, "I am in q
crank's hands and must humor him" ,"
In third communication he refers to
O'Dea as id crank" and informs
his correspondents that could he obtain
q settlement from O'Des he would have
done with him, but that, although fre-
quently promised statement of his
affairs, he has been unable to obtain
one.
The case went over until Monday.
