One day last month , nftur paying ix visit to
tlio sisters , she sent her mother n letter to say
BIU ! had determined to stay In the convent
and take the veil. All appeals by her dis
tricted parents failed to shako her decision.
"It Is for my soul's sake and yours , " she
said. " 1 must obey my conscience. " On tlio
iHltli of .September her father and grand rather
called at the coin cut , hut she letused to see
them. The next day her mother and brother
innuu a frantic cffoit to carry her off , but she
still held llrin and they had to withdraw to
avoid being ejected by the police. On leav
ing , the brother vowed tun nlTalr should not
rest them
' You are bent on having a scandal , " he
exclaimed , slinking his list nt the nuns. "You
shall have It. "
"alllc. ( inllet Is of ago and her own mis
tress , " leplled the nuns. "If she wishes to
stay for her salvation's sake , wo cannot pre
vent her. "
The alTatr made nn linniciibO stir In the
ncighboihood , the Augustlncs being openly
aecusod of caring less for the fair zealot's
salvation than for her fortune. The Callct
family , who are Inclined to bo free thinkers ,
did their utmost to fan the popular excite
ment. *

A few days later , while n fair was being
held at Atuorio , Mario's father , uncle , grand
father and brother , followed by a riotous

doors and windows , and Insisted on seeing
the superior.
" .My child 1" cried the father , "Give mo

charged by the public prosccutois with viola
tion ot domicile and rlotlncc. The court was
packed In every coiner. Religions tecllng
runs high In the city , and the spectators ,
being pretty evenly divided In two hostile
croups , enlivened the proceedings by fre
quent interruptions. The vcidlct was a foio-
gene conclusion. As Marie Gullet Is of age
there was not legal justification of the ac
cused possible.

of the drama.

Amid Intense excitement , a young and
charming elrl , with dark complexion , delicate
features and glorious eyes , walked toward

She was elegantly dressed In deep mourn
ing. Emotion almost made her yolco iiiaucti
be.
-"Iliad long In tended to take the veil , " she
faltered , "but never told my father. My final
determination was como to suddenly. No
one prompted my act When my family tried
to eairy me off I myself begged to have the

The Piesldont "What 1 fetch the police to
cjret your own father and mother ?

alter the massaero many natives weie bap
tised at their own desire. Leaflets contain
ing hymns in the Uganda lauisuagu are
freely bought by the people , although their
possession involves the danger of punish

senger Kntheiiimham purporting to bosigned
by the oil leers of the company , slating that
CummlngB was nbiiut to take n
"inn" on the line nnd asking
Kntheringham to give him points.
When near Meremno the stranger over-
poweied the messenger , gagced him nnd
bound him to the safe , after which ho coolly
i tiled the car. He cut open bags containing
silver , but took none of It. At Mcrciuac he
left the train. The tobbcry was not dis
covered until the train readied 1'acillc , when
the e.xp rcss car \\ns broken open and Father-
inirliiun found tied to the safe. The express
officials are reticent , but admit over 5.VtX)0
were taken. The robber is imperfectly de
scribed as a tall , daik man of pippossusslng
appearance , diessud In black , with laige
hands and feet. It ! sn singular coincidence
that bo tiavo the name of > limCtimmings , ( ho
only member ot the. once celebrated Jnmes
gang who has never been accounted tor.
A slinnger , who gnvo the name ot Cum-
tilings to Kathcrludiam , the messenger , pie-
sented to him n cleverly ioigcd letter.oenringn
perti-ct lac simile of the smnnture of Barrett ,
louteand local agent of the express company
at St. Louis. Tlio letter stated It was decided
to put an estra man on the route ; that the
beaier was he , and thatKatheilngham was
directed to teach him the details of the busi
ness. Tlte stranger was allowed to enter the
car and took meat Interest In n.l the move
ments of the messenger , appaiently desiilng
to Icnin quickly the ins
and outs ot tlio duties which the letter stated
he was expected to perform. The men busied
themselves \\ltli accounts' , etc. . and all went
well until a point between St , Louis and Pa
cific , Mo. , was reached. In the meantime the
new assistant was informed there was noth
ing moiu he could do at that time and'he
sented himself In n chair. Katheilngham ,
tinning aioiind to go to the safe , saw "CJum-
mliigs" sitting in his chair with a cocked
levolver leveled at his ( Fntlierincham'K )
head. Kntheriiitfhaiu had nothing to' ' debut
but submit and according to hU statement ,
ttie robber bound him hand and loot , pressed
n irag Into his mouth , tied him to the sate so
ho could not move and piocccdcd with his
woik. Tne sate had benn left open and It
took hut a few moments to secure the bank
notes and valuables in the shape of , jowehy ,
etc. Ho cut open the bacs of silver and coin
but did not take any ot the gold. However ,
lie took n good amount. At tills point the
road runs diiectly alongside the high bin If ,
and tiains slacken speed hero on ac
count of tin ; daiuer of bolildcrs
which occasionally fall on the tracks.
Befoio Icavlne the lobber looked all but ono
door which hn secured on the outside , then
jtiiuping from tlio train mndo his escape.
The conductor tried the door some time after
and not gaining admittance , listened for a
moment and heard the messenger struggling
to tiee himself , llo burst the door open ,
finding Fathcilngham us above described anil
released him. When the train arrived hero
at T this moi nlng on the return trip Fathcrlng-
ham immediately souniit the superintendent
of the company and was closeted with him
some time , at the end of which he com
menced his official report , refusing to make
any statements to outsideis icgarding the
robbery. The olllcers ot tlio company have
nothinir to say of the affair.
Superintendent Damsel , ot the cypress
company , gives the following as the result of
a long examination of the messenger , made
at the ollieu of the company this morning ,
"Mr Fnthcrlngham says that as ho was
about to no out on his run last nlgh't a mini
came to him with a letter purporting to be
signed by nivsclf and Mr. Barrett , Instruct
ing him to tak the bearer , ,11m dimming : * ,

sot him to work cheeking up. Then ho be
gan his own work. Fatherlngham uus stand
ing with his back to tlio stranger , his
coat oil and the handle of his revolver stick
ing out of his pistol pocket. About ten or
littceen miles out of the union depot he
was attacked from the rear. The stranger
gripped his neck with one hand and grasped
his levohcr witli the other. Betoie 1-ntlier-
ingham realized what was being done he was
tlnown to the floor. He struggled and fought ,
but the stranger overcame him and bound
him hand and foot llo then put a gag In
his mouth and tied him to the safe Having
secured the messenger ho proceeded to KO
through the safe and take all there was In It.
Suveial pouches of silver he cut open , but left
them when he found out what they con
tained. AtMlncke some men working In the
lime kiln flagged the train on account of nn
obstruction on the tinck. While It
was standing still some one
tried to gut Into the express car ,
but the robber stood over Fathoringhnm with
a revolver nnd prevented his making nny
cllort to cry out. At or about Pacific station
the robber took his plunder , and opening the
front door car , went out on the platform and
closed the door niter him. What he did nttor
that Katheriugham does not know. He lay
on the floor of the car until the train reached
St. Clair , when ho was able to get the gai ; out
of his mouth and cry out for assistance. The
trainmen , heating him , endeavored to
get In the back door , and finding It
locKed went around to tlm front door ,
which the robber had left open. They
released him. Fatherlngham says the robber
was about six feet high , twenty-four years of
ago nnd weighed about two hundred pounds.
He had dark , straight hair , cut close , n thin ,
daik moustache , low forehead , wore daik
clothes and ndnikgtay overcoat. Ho was
gasued w Ith a handkerchief tied In knots ,
foiced into Ids mouth and bound around his
head. His hands wore tied together behind
back with silk handkerchiefs. Ills logs were
fastened with straps taken from vnlise.s in the
car and with cords and with a heavy strap
which was around thosafe. Ho was tied to
the handle of thosafe. "

Prohibition In Georgia ,
ATLANTA , Gn. . Oct.20. ( Special Telegram
to the BKK.J Theie nro some curious figures
in connection with the enforcement of pro
hibition In Atlanta. Saturday and Sunday ,
notwithstanding the aliened total prohibi
tion , theie were twenty-two arrests for
diunkenness , It must bo recollected that the
mayor , chief ot police and policemen are
ardent piohlbltlonlsts and as such are anx
ious to make as good a showing as possible In
favor of the entoicemont of the prohibitory
law. With this end in view It Is not policy
lor thorn to make nny more nrrests than they
nro forced to. Notwithstanding this there
were twenty-two cases of drunkenness Sun
day so flagrant that tlm anests had to bo
made. The arrests tor the same days In 1SSA
wore thirty-one , and In IbSM they were tvvpntv-
five. These nriests were made when whisky
was sold freely , and when under the spur of
n sttlct police commission the police made as
many arrests ns possible. Still the nrrests
Sunday were more than two-thirds of the
highest number In liquor times.

A considerable part of the report Is devoted
to the outbienk against the Chinese last
February , and his eflorts to protect them In
their treaty rights. Ho says the citizens in
several largo towns nro Inclined to bo lenient
towards those who nio hostile to the Chinese ,
nnd it Is dllllcult to Mcuro the convic

nggiavated by the fact that a number of Chi
nese cross the. lioider from British Columbia
In defiance of the law. and the government
has been unahle. with the limited customs
force , to expel them. Tlio nndcslrablllty of

the toirltory should be settled by people who
will uphold American traditions nnd institu
