on government property purchased some
months ago from the heirs of her husband,
did not come out to church today, as has
been her custom. She was afraid to leave
the premises lest the academy authorities
order the sentinels at the gate not to adj
nit her when once outside the walls. 1t
stated today that the house must be
torn down tomorrow, as the progress Of
the work going on in the Naval Academy
demands that this site be cleared. The
water supply has been cut Off the hydrants
having been removed, and Mrs. Kealey has
been compelled to use rain water, except
for drinking purposes. She has become
very abusive to the guards at the gate, and
all others going near her house, and is now
declared nuisance. Every method has
been resorted to in order to compel her to
vacate the premises without further trouble.

powers without success, Mrs. Kealey re-
fusing to admit the father rector Of her
church. the Rev Joseph A. KantZ, and an
other priest of the Redemptorist order who
called yesterday. In the meantime the pub
