VIOLENCE USED TOWARD THREE
OF THEM IN THEIR CONVENT.
A Man Breaks Into the Convent of
fcOur Lady of Sorrows in Williams
burg at Midnight and Seizes a Sister
in Her Sleep—Father Zmtgraf, in a
Neighboring House, is Finally Awak
ened and He Hurries to the Rescue
With a Shotgun—The Unknown In
truder Escapes Through a Window
by Which He Entered the Convent.
Was He Insane?
From the Sew York Sun, Aug. 31.
Six sisters in the Convent of Our Lady of
Sorrows in Harrison place, near Morgan
avenue, Williamsburgh, had a strange ex
perience with an unknown man at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning. The man seized one of
the sisters, 19 years old, in her bedroom,
and, frightened by her cries, attacked two
others in the hall. Father Zentgraf came
too late with his shotgun, and the man es
caped.
The convent is a branch of the Dominican
convent of the most Holy Trmity Church
In Graham avenue. It is in charge of six
sisters, including a mother superior, and
they have in their care eight orphans.
Their building faces Harrison place. It is a
substantial two-story frame structure, and
in the rear is a lawn. Two fences separated
the rear from Ingram street, on which
thoroughfare in the neighborhood of the
convent there are no buildings. The
Catholic Church ef Our Lady of Sorrow, of
which Father John B. Zentgraf is the pas
tor, is on the corner of Morgan avenue and
Harrison place. The convent adjoins it.
The priest’s residence is beside the church
on the Morgan avenue side. The rear of
the priest's house is distant from the rear of
the convent about fifty feet. The windows
of the room ou the first floor of the oonvent
are about five feet from the ground. The
rooms overlooking the lawns are the kitchen
and the kindergarten for the orphans. The
orphans sleep in the rooms on the first floor
next to the kitchen, but the rooms lead out
to the corridor. The sleeping apartments of
the sisters are on the second floor. Each
sister has her own room.
They retire at 9 o'clock every night and
rise again at 4:30 o’clook every morn
ing. Before going to their room every door
and window on the first floor is securely
fastened and every light in the convent is
extinguished. It was about I o’clock yes -
terday morning when one of the sisters was
awakened by some ono passing his hands
over hsr. The intruder also caught hold
of her arms.
“Who are you? vVho are you? Tell me,
quick," exclaimed the sister.
There was no response, and she began to
scream. The man put his hands over her
mouth and tried to prevent her. She
struggled to get out of bed.
“If you scream again I’ll kill you,"
shouted the man, as he tried to throw her
back.
In the meantime the others were aroused,
and they also began to scream. All ran into
the hallway with the exception of the
mother superior, who looked around for a
match to light the gas. The sister who was
attacked freed herself from her assailant
and joined her associates in the hall. The
man ran after her and grabbed another
sister and tried to throw her on the floor.
She struggled, and just then the flash of
light frem the mother superior's room
partly lit up the halL The mother supe
rior ran out of her room, and the other sis
ters went toward her. Then all ran down
the stairs. The man followed, shouting in
sults at them all the way down. At the
foot of the stairs he caught hold of another
sister and threw her to the floor.
Scarcely three minutes had elapsed from
the time the first sister was attacked. No
one outside had heard their screams. Fin
ally the mother superior opened a window
in the kindergarten and shouted for the
priest. The priest did not hear her. She
then picked up a dishpan and hurled it at
a window of the priest’s house. The noise
awoke him and he opened his window. He
soon understood tho situation. He hurried
on his trousers, and, arming himsolf with a
shotguu, ran over into the convent yard
and fired a shot into the air to attract the
police. |
When the police reached the convent they
made a search of the house, but failed to
find any trace of the man. He evidently
made his escape through the kitchen window
through which he had gained an entrance
by forcing back tho window- latch.
Tho mother superior told a reporter yes
terday afternoon that she was not willing
to have her own name or that of her asso
ciates published in connection with the
affair.
“Suffice it to say,” she said, “It was the
most terrible affair we ever experienced,
ibe fellow's motive was not robbery, but a
fiendish design. He evidently knew we
were alone, because he did not desist after
s * s * ler fled from him. He was a
short, thick-set fellow, evidently a German,
and had no shoes on. I couldn’t see
his face, but saw him frodi behind. He
was in his shirt sleevej. It strikes me tho
man knew the inside of tho house.”
Notwithstanding her desire to avoid pub
licity, the mother superior consented later
40 R* VB the following account of
the affair:
It was about 1 o’clock this morning wben
a. man forced his way in through the window.

SOAP MADE FROM SOAP WEED.
A Western Firm Makes Good Use of a
Wild Product of the Prairies.
From the Kansas Citu Times.
That prickly pirate of the plains, the
Mexican soap weed, is being converted rap
idly into a delicious toilet soap, “fit to wash
the hauds of the pope,” by a West Bottoms
manufacturing company. The soap weed,
since time began, or since the Kansas
prairie was an inland sea, bos thrust its
roots deep in the soil of the unsheltered
plains and flourished. There has been noth
ing until now to diminish the supply or
exterminate the species. The hot sub, tho
baking winds and the dearth of that moist
ure which is supposed to be absolutely
necessary to life harmed not this hardy
sentinel of the plains. Wet or dry, hot or
cold, its rapier-like blades, sharp as a cam
brio noodle, radiated alike from a given
spot on the surfaoe of the earth.
The root of this weed is now being gath
ered up by men who drive their wagons
over the plains of Western Kansas. A
sharp spade is driven down deeply by the
side of the plant, the earth is broken and
the thick, brown root secured. The top,
with its long spines, is thrown aside. Somo
times a long, sharp tool is required to reach
deep into the ground in order to secure the
great or part of the root. Like the prairie
dog, “it goes down to water.” The root
has been known to extend as far as twenty
feet into the soil, but only from two to
three feet of the upper portion, which is
about two inches thick, is worth digging
for. This root is brought by the wagon
load to Kansas City, wnere the Interstate
Toilet Soap Company, with a
ittle factory at Twelfth and Gene
see, converts it into soap. The roots are
first washed, then cut up and boiled out in
a big vat. where other ingredients are also
placed. When this is dried out to such
a degree that it will solidify it is moulded
into semi-transparent cakes thatslip around
in the hands delightfully while being used.
One of the moft wonderful things about
this weed is that while growing in a region
where alkali pools dot the ground and
where the soil is white with the chemical,
none of it is found in the root. Many of
the poorer settlers who occupy "dugouts’'
find the root in its natural state a panacea
for many ills. They cut it into con
venient pieces and use it as a cake of toilet
soap. • .it
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,1891.
IN THE TERROR OF DEATH
A SPANISH WRITiR’S PICTURE OF
THE AGONY OF WAR
One of the Episodes in Napoleon’s
Spanish Campaign—Translated from
the Spanish of De Alcorn -Ordeal of
a Mother.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.
“You cannot imagine the horrors attend
ing the taking of Tarragona. You did not
see 5,000 Spaniards perish in ten hours; you
did not see houses and churches in flames;
you did not see unarmed old men and help
less women slaughtered In cold blood; you
did not see the modesty of maidens, the
dignity of matrons, the sanctity of nuns
outraged; you did not see pillage mingling
with murder; you did not see, in short, one
of the gravest exploits of the conqueror of
the world, the hero of our age—Napoleon!
“I saw it all I I saw the sick rise from the
bod of suffering, dragging after them their
sheets, like shrouds, to perish at the hands
ot foreign soldiers on the threshold over
which the day before had passed the Viati
cum! I saw lying in tho street the body of
a woman they had slaughtered, and at her
side her infant still nursing at its dead
mother’s breast. I saw the husband, with
hauds tied together, witnessing the dishonor
of the wife; children weeping with terror
at the hon ors that surrounded them; de
spair and innocence taking refuge in sui
cide; impiety insulting the dead.
“Dangerously wounded and unable to
take further part in the conflict 1 fled for
refuge to Clara’s house.
“Full of augutsh and terror she stood at
the window, fearing for my life and risking
her own to see me in case I should chance to
pass through the street.
“I entered and fastened the door, but my
pursuers had already caught sight of Clara
-—and she was so beautiful.
“They saluted her with a roar of savage
joy and a burst of brutal laughter. A mo
ment more and the door would yield to the
ax and the flames. We were lost!
HIDING IN A CISTERN.
“Clara’s mother, carrying in her arms
her year-old baba, led us to the cistern or
reservoir of the house, which was very deep
and which was now dry, as no rain had
fallen for several months, and there we con
cealed ourselves. Tbq cistern, the floor of
which might measure some eight yards
square, and which was entered by a steep
underground flight of steps, narrowed to
ward the top like the mouth of a well, and
opened into the center of the courtyard,
where a breastwork was built around it,
above which two buckets wero suspended
from hooks attached to an iron bar for
drawing water.
“The child IJhave spoken’of. whose name
was Miguel, was Clara’s brother, that is to
say, the youngest child of the unhappy
woman whom the Freuch had just made a
widow.
“In the cistern we four might find safety.
Seen from the yard, the cistern seamed a
simple well. The French would think we
made our escape from the roof.
‘ ‘They soon declared that such was tho
case, uttering horrible oaths while they
rested themselves in tho shady yard, in
the center of which was the cistern.
“Yes, we were saved! Clara bound up
my bleeding hand, her mother nurted
Miguel, and I, although I was shivering
from the chill which had followed the fever
caused by my wound, smiled with happi
ness.
SOLDIERS COME TO DRAW WATER.
“At this moment we noticed that the
soldiers, wishing doubtless to slake their
thirst, were trying to draw water from the
cistern in which wo were concealed.
“Picture to yourselves our anguish at that
instant!
“We drew aside to make way for the
bucket, which descended until it reached the
floor.
“We scarcely dared to breathe.
“The bucket was drawn up again.
“ ‘The well is dry!’ cried the soldiers.
“‘There must be water up stairs!’ ex
claimed one.
“’They are going away!’we all said to
ourselves.
“’What if they should be concealed in
this well,’ cried a voice in Catalan.
“It was a renegade—a Spaniard who had
betrayed us.
“ ‘Vvhat nonsense!’ responded the French
man. ‘They could not get down there so
suddenly.’
“ ‘That Is true,’ responded the renegade.
“They did not know that the cistern
could bo entered by an underground pas
sage, whoso door or trap, carefully con
cealed in the floor of a dark cellar, some
what distant from the bouse, it would be
almost impossible to discover. We had,
however, committed the imprudence of
locking the iron grating which cut off the
communication between the cistern and
passage, and we could not open it without
making a great deal of noise.
LIBERATING THE CHILD.
"Imagine, then, the cruel fluctuations be
tween hope and fear, with which we had
listened to the dialogue carried on by those
wretches on the very brink of the well.
From the corners ia which we were
crouching we could see shadow of their
heads moving within the circle of light on
the floor of the cistern. Every second
seemed to us a century.
“At this moment the babe Miguel began
to cry.
"But at bis first whimper his mother
silenced the sounds that threatened to be
tray our hiding place, pressing the infant’s
face into her bosom.
“ ’Did you hear that?’ cried someone in
the yard above.
“ ‘I heard nothing,’ responded another.
“ ‘Let us listen,’ said the renegade.
"Three horrible minutes passed.
“Miguel struggled to get his voice, and
the moro closely his mother pressed his face
into her bosom the more violent were his
struggles.
"But not the slightest sound was audi
ble.
“‘ltmußt have been an eaho!’exclaimed
the soldiers.
“ ’Yes, that was it!’ assented the rene-
gade.
“And they all took their departure, and
wo could hear the noise of their steps and
the clanking of their sabers slowly dying
awav in the direction of the gate.
“'the danger was passed f
“But, alas’, our deliverance had come too
late.
“Baby Miguel neither cried nor struggled
now.
* ‘He was dead 1”
One Indian Held a Regiment at Bay.
From the S'. Louie Olobe-Democrat.
There was one feature of the fight between
the Seventh cavalry and the Sioux at
Wounded Knee which indicates in the most
unmistakable manner the effect of modern
firearms on the defensive, and which is
without a parallel in history.
After the fight was over and the Indians
had been killed or caotured the cavalry set
to work to bury the dead. Suddsnly a shot
wns beard, and a horse fell, wounded. The
troops were puzzled to know where the shot
came from, but their mystification was soon
ended by a puff of smoke from the top of
a chimney-like rock on a neighbor
ing bluff, the ring of a rifle hall,
followed by the whip-like crack of a Win
chester. An Indian, shot through the
shoulder, had managed to drag biinself to
the rock, and was firing upon the troops as
fast as he could pull the trigger in his dis- i
ablod condition. A squad was detailed to i
silence him, but so well was he covered that
not a shot could reach him, while his bullets
were sent to all parts of the battleground.
The fact was finally recognized that the
solitary woundod Indian with his Winches
ter completely dominated the field,and that
it would oost half a dozen lives to dislodge
him. As it was not considered worth while
to go to that expense, the only thing to be j
done was to march off. The regiment ac- !
cording!)’ withdrew, having Peon fairly !
driven off by one wounded man. I know of I
no similar incident in authentic history.

HER DEAD FATHKR'd FACE.
It Appears at Hia Daughter’s Coffin to
Confute a Friend’s Disbelief.
From the Arena.
1 stood alone, looking at the unconscious
face before me which was distinctly visible,
though the light was heavily shaded to keop
the glare from the dying eyes. All her life
my friend had been a Christian believer,
with an unwavering faith in a life beyond
this, and for her sake a bitter grief came
upon me, because, so far as I c mid see, there
were no grounds for that belief. I thought
I could more easily let her go into the un
known if could but feel that her hope would
be realized, and I put into words this feel
ing.
I pleaded that if there were any of her
own departed ones present at this supreme
moment could they not and would they not
give me some least sign that such was the
fact, and I would be content. Slowly ovor
the dying one's face spread a mellow radiant
mist—l know no other way to describe it.
In a few moments it covered the dying face
as with a veil, and spread in a circle of
about a foot beyond, over the pillow the
strange yellowish white light all tho more
distinct from the center of this, immediately
over the hidden face, appeared an appar
ently living faco with smiling eyes, which
looked directly into mine, gazing at me
with a look so full of aomfort
iug assurance that I could scarcely feel
frightened. But it was n > real and so
strange that I wondered if I were not tem
porarily crazed, and as it disappeared I
called a watcher from another room and
went out into the open air for a few mo
menta to recover myself undor the midnight
stars. When I was sure of myself I returned
and took ray place again alone. Then I
asked that, if that appearance were real
and not an hallucination, would it be made
onco more manifest to me; and again the
phenomenon was repeated, and the kind,
smiling face looked up at me—a face new to
me, yet wondrously familiar. Afterward
I recalled my friend’s frequent description
of her dead father, whom she dearly loved,
but whom I had never seen, and I could not
help the impression that it was his face I
saw the hour that his daughter died.
Editor —Humph! Poetry is a drug in the
market!
Aspiring Wit—Glad to hear so. I hope you
pay drug store prices for it.— llarver'a Bazar.
IMMENSE IMPORTATIONS.
Dr. W. W. Lamb, drug inspector at the port
of Philadelphia, writes:
"I have found the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract especially good for persons conial
racing from fever, in cases of dyspepsia, for
mother* nursinz. and in case's of weakly
children, and also in long troubles About a
million of bottles imported have passed my in
spection In the Custom House satisfactorily for
the past five years.”
Avoid imitations. The genuine article must
have the signature of “Johann Hoff" on the
neck of every bottle.
