ANNOYED THE PRIESTS.
trans Phase of a Hoboken Young
Mans Insanity,

James O'Boyle of No. $40 Adams street,
Hoboken, called upon the, police of that
city last night to arrest his son Thomas,
t~wenty-nine years old. on a charge of
being insane. About three months ago he
suddenly raw up his position in New
York, where he was employed as a pant
er. He told his father that he had de-
cided to study for the priesthood. His
parents at first thought little of his re-
emily to chant verses of the Bible they
called in a physician who pronounced him
insane. O'Boyie was accustomed to make
daily visits to st. Michael's Monastery in
West Hoboken and he became such an
annoyance to the inmates of the parish
that the priests caused his arrest. He was
arrested three times during the past two
weeks blu was released each time in the
custody of his parents.
AS soon as he was discharged by the
police he would go straight to the Mon
astery and repeat his annoyance to the
priests Two days ago he was again ar
rested by the West Hoboken police aud
committed to the County Jail to be ex-
amined by the County Physician. Ills
father went to the Jail last night and
secured his release on the promise that
he would take his son to his home and
keep him there.
After leaving the Jail, however. O'Boyle
became obstinate and wanted to make
another visit to the Monastery. His father
got him as far as First street. Hoboken
but O.Boyle would not go another step
towards his home. Detective Weintbsl
was then called and took him to Police
Headquarters where he was locked IN.

MURDER AND ARSON.

PASOAG, R. L., April IA, 1S97.-The COM
mullity about this place was greatly
startled early this morning when news
was received of what is believed to be a
tragedy at Oakland, a small farming
village. a few miles from here, where, at
about three O'Clock this morning the
farm buildings, occupied by Edward
Reynolds and family. We're burned and in
the ruins of which at least two bodies
are thought to be buried.
Evidences which lead to the Supposition
that the fire was the result of arson af-
ter murder had been committed were also
discovered. and Mrs. Reyonlds' body,
mutilated and bloodstained, was taken
from her bed by those who discovered
the fire and were first to enter the house.
They found copious ~bloodstains and what
is believed to be traces of kerosene about
the bedroom. They were prevented from
making a thorough search of the prem
ises by the heat and smoke, and Sewilla,
a twenty-year-old daughter of Reynolds,
Reynolds himself, and Martin Monry, who
boarded with the family, are missing.
The buildings We're totally destroyed,
entaling a loss of about $1,000. AT an early
hour this morning the ruins had not cool
ed sufficiently to permit a search among
them for the missing persons. but this
will be begun as soon as possible. Rey-
nolds was a carpenter. Mowry was
found hiding in a barn near Harrisyille
this forenoon and was at once placed un-
der arrest. on suspicion of having been
connected in the affair.
