First Delegation Has Reached
Kentucky.
Have Been Taken to Gethsemane and
May Found New Mon
Astery.
200 MORE ARE EXPECTED

Louisville, June l1-Rt. Rev. Fa-
Their Edmond o. Obrecht, Abbot Of
Gethsemani. and II refugees monks
from France, are the vanguard of q
body of Cistericans VINO, after two
centuries undisurbed occupancy, have
been forced to abandon their monas-
terry at Fontgombault, near Tours, by
the anti-congreRstionsl laws recently
enacted in France. They were COM
PEELED to vacate the monastery, and
either settled down as laymen, or fee
to shores where monks may pursue
his life without opposition
The body of monks arrived in Lou
isviile yesterday may be the nucleus
of new monastery in Kentucky and
have gone to Gethsemani, and will be
under Father Obreth's charge at the
Trappist monastery there. But the
abbott of Fontgombsult, with sixteen
more brothers, three theological stu
dents and four priests, will follow
shortly, and as soon as the whole flock
is transplanted, efforts will be made to
locate a monastery.
Father Edmond Obeicht met the
party at New York OH their arrival on
La Bretagne last week. In the party
is the superior of the old monastery,
Father Pelltan, but the rest are clerics
of lower rank. All are exceedingly
sorrowful and cast down over their
expulsion, but kept together in their
one room at Seelbach's, exhibiting lit.
tie curiosity for the New World.
Father Obrecht says that be expects
at least 200 refugee monks to locate in
Kentucky, and he is anxious to see
their monastery in this state.
However, remarks Abbot Obrecht,
1--WE must scatter these monks as wide
ly as possible, so that tn ey will do the
most good for the church. The pres
ent body is exceedingly poor. We
will keep them at least six months at
Gethsemani, before any steps are tax
en- to locate them in home of their
own"
The monastery at Gethsemani has
just purchased the Mt. Olivet estate,
adjoining its own grounds, and there
by enlarged by several hundred acres.
They own nearly 1000 acres of fine
land altogether.

Some Controversy as to Who Must
Pay for a CURLING.

The street and public improvement
committees of both boards met yester-
day afternoon to discuss the proposed
improvement of West jefferson street.
The plans for Improvement show a
100 foot street with the car track in
the center. DR.. S. B. Caldwell sold
most of the property in the course OF
improvement and left strip of ground
on both sides of the car track which
he claims to have sold to the property
owners with the property but failing
TO give deed to this particular strip.
A curb has to be built ON both sides OF
the track and the cost of this work
will fall on the owners, and some Of
the latter think DR.. Caldwell, whom
they allege, it seems, still holds the
property by not having decided 1t away
should be made to pay for the i'm
provements while DR.. Caldwell thinks
the reverse. Tho matter was referred
to Solicitor worten with orders to re-
port at once and another meeting will
probably be held tomorrow night If he
prepares au opinion today.

from Gov. Beckham. IL is generally
believed that Inspector Hines will re-
port as to how the trial is conducted
so far as judge, prosecutor, jury and
all officials are concerned, and much
interest is taken in his presence.

afternoon il was stated that Jett and

The nature Of the testimony and its

suck at the foundations of many great
buildings that have been deserted and
the vast railroad yards can only be To-
Gated by hundreds Of f.submerged
cars and locomotives. Huge grain
elevators stand surrounded by running
water. To the south beyond the rail
way yard are thousands of cottages
owned by laborers and containing their
all, submerged to the caves.
In Northern East st. Louis the con-
dition is not so bad. The business
portion Of the city and the district
containing the better residences is still
intact. but for how long is not known.
Broadway, running from Eads' bridge
east to the city limits, a wide street
built of sand and walled with stone,
fifteen feet high, divides the city in
halves. over ten feet of water is
pressing against Broadway from the
south, and in many places is siping
through in streams as thick as mans
body. Traffic over certain portions of
the thoroughfare has been prohibited.
