PEEPIEG JOSEPHINE.
Mrs. Harvey Fined $40 for Locking
Ihto People,s WI mdnsy..

Josephine Harvey, of No. 500 Seventh
street, was fined $50 by Justice Nevin in
the First Criminal Court this morning
for. the strange crime of peeping in the
basement windows of a dwelling house.
She was arrested last night by PATROL
mar Cox, who testified that he has been
looking for her for over two weeks: In
that time she has nightly annoyed the
family of John Ryan, of No. 1926 Eighth
street, and has several times thrown the
women into Mysteries by her strange ac-
lions. Each night between eight and ten
O'Clock she wbuld enter the area way and
peep into the basement window. She
always chose a time when the men folk
were away 1t Is also alleged that she
pelted the women with stones when they
left the house. Mrs. Ryan became sick
as a result of the woman's strange con,
duct. The police were notified several
days ago, but could not catch the woman.
Last night Mr.. Ryan left the house, but
instead of going far off he stood in the
shadow of a building where he could
watch his home. He had not been there
many minutes when the Harvey woman
took her station opposite the house and
waited until she entered the yard and
then nc accosted her. They had some
words after which he turned her over to
the police. In court this morning Mrs.
Harvey alleged that Ryan's brother had
ruined her home and was responsible Tor
the care of her daughter n that she
was after money from him. She adj
a domestic and did not need to bother

piees of St. Peters College A. A. was
given last evening to one of the largest

not a number on it that did not receive
hearty applause.
The concert opened with an overture by
the boys band. under the direction of
Professor J. B. Ferry, n the music they
rendered was excellent. Mr.. Charles
Sehaeffer sang two solos, and proved
himself to be a very good soloist. The
reading lesson between Joseph O'Connor
and Edmond KarboszewsEi was very
amusing, and was heartily a~pplauded.
The choir boys came next, and showed
by their singing that the choir is becorn-
ing stronger every day under the care
of Mr.. Ferry. The most ~laughable nun1-

college, and the comical songs they sung

to give him a statement of costs on i'm

partially proceeded with in the city. but
have been stopped because of the develops

surprised when Mr.. Bouton's statement
showed that only S2,096.65 was the cost, an
