THE "ESCAPED XCN."
Telllne What She
Knows
Life.
About Convent
The announcement that Miss Edith
O'Gorman, claiming te be an " Escaped
Nun," by which designation she is com
monly known te the public, would appear
in this city last 'night, coupled with the
further statement that ladies weuid be
admitted te her lecture gratuitously, " but
net te front seats," had the effect of crowd-
ing the lower poitien et tne opera house
with an audience the" greater portion of
which belonged te the gentler sex. Miss
O'Gorman has delivered her lecture, which
is entitled "Life iua Convent," in this city
before, and her narrative last evening did
net vary materially from what she has pre
viously told our pceple,and indeed the peo
ple of almost every large city in the coun
try, concerning her alleged experience in
convent life. Miss O'Gorman is an ordinary
looking woman of perhaps thirty-odd years
with nothing very striking either in her
personal appearance, mode of dress, man
ner of speaking, or ether characteristics.
She was quietly attired in a neatly-fitting
black dress, with little or no ornamentation
or display, and with her hair combed care
fully back from her forehead. She is a
denii-brunettc, about the medium height,
and a tiille tee stout for .shapeliness.
According te Miss O'Gennan's narrative,
which was delivered with great volubility,
r-hc scarcely pausing a moment from the
time she began until she had finished, she
entered the convent of St. Jeseph's, at Jer
sey City, in January, ISO;. At that time
she was a young girl, an ardent Catholic,
filled with all the pure inclinations and de
sires after holy living incident te the pe
riod of youth in one who has
been piously trained and carefully nur
tuied in the faith of her church. She en
tered the convent, she says, with the high
est and holiest aspirations, and, in assum
ing the vows of chastity, holy poverty,
ete.j'requitcd of all candidates for admis
sion Inte these institutions, imagined that
she had entered upon a life only less rap
turous than that of the angels, in
which all her efforts and energies
weie te be consecrated te Ged
and te ITis service. Miss O'Gennan's
narrative appeared te indicate that her
dicam of blissful felicity was of very brief
duration. She says Mie seen discovered
that her anticipations had been a delusion
and a snare ; that tiie goodness and holi
ness that she, in common with thousands
of ether pine-minded Catholic girls,
had believed te exist within the
four walls of the convent were wholly
imaginary. Te the minutest detail, the
" Escaul Nun " then proceeded te give
an account of life as she claims te have
seen and experienced it within St. Jeseph's
convent. The unnatural and rigorous dis
cipline enforced upon the nuns, the repres
sion of all holy impulses and desires te de
geed when it was discovered that their
gratification administered te their pleasure,
these were only a portion of the horrors
that she found te be her let within a brief
period after her entrance into the convent.
The atmespheie of this particular institu
tion, and by implication of all similar insti
tutions, Miss O'Gorman says, reeked with
the most disgusting and loathsome im
purity. If a sister should be se unfortu
nate as te fall in love with a piiest she is
obliged by her vows te confess it te him, and
the peer unhappy girl is then at his mercy, a
condition of affahs, Miss O'Gorman assert
ed, that some of the priests were net slew te
take advantage of age. She devoted con
siderable attention te the clergy and ex
posed what she designated as the shams,
hypocrisy, selfishness and impurity of the
craft. Many priests, she says, receive in a
week pay for mere masses than they could
say in a year, and while the decent honest
priests will sell te some young priest or
curate these masses which lack of time
prevents him from saying himself, etheis
take their parishieneis' pay for one, or
ten, or fifty masses, and in all probability
that would be the end of it. Miss O'Gor
man declared that during her lcsidcncc at
St. Jeseph's she had incurred the vindic
tive enmity of the superior, Sister Mary
Jeseph, who iu consequence subjected her
te constant torture, humiliation and indi"--nity,
and Miss O'Gorman said that her
constant prayer, morning, neon and night
was that she might be relieved by death.
Evidently Miss O'Garman has net forgot
ten the alleged abuse heaped upon her by
Sister Mary Jeseph, as a considerable por
tion of her lecture was devoted te that
personage, paying back old scores, as
it were, and imputing te her the most un
worthy character and immoral actions.
After relating the causes that led te her
final escape and lelease from the miseries
of convent life as she had portrayed them
in the most vigorous English, with occa
sional slips in her syntax, and in a tone
of voice that can ied the animus of the
speaker with it, Miss O'Gorman wound
up iu a pyietechnic display of abuse of the
whole system of the Catholic church, from
its fountain head through all its ramifica
tions and connections.
A glance ever the audience that listened
te the discourse thus hastily outlined re
vealed the entire absence of Catholic hear
ers. The lecture was simply a diatribe of
abuse, and though an occasional "smart "
saying would call out some applause the
audience was rather an undemonstrative
one. There exists no corroborative proof
that Miss O'Gorman is what she claims te
be, outside of her own declaration, and peo
ple who see and hear her are at perfect
liberty te conclude that she is either an
apostle of revelation or a monumental
fraud. Yeu pays your money and you
takes your choice.

ANOTHER CLERICAL SCANDAL.
What Leeks Very Much Like an Attempt
te lSlackinail a Catholic Priest.
Chicago, April 9. A despatch from
East Saginaw, Michigan, says that city is
excited OTer the publicity of a scandal
involving the geed name of
Father Vanderbem, pastor of St.
3Iary's Catholic church for the past
fifteen years. Last night he procured a
warrant for the arrest of Kate Burke, who
for three years had been his housekeeper,
for malicious and wilful accusations a fleet
ing his character. In January, 1879, she was
discharged from Father Vauderbem's ser
vice for cause, and since that time she has
made vague threats, culminating tecently
in her going befere a notary public and
making specific charges against him of
uudue intimacy with a lady member
of his church and herself while
his housekeeper. The charges were
laid befere Bishop Begert, at
Detroit, who summoned Father Vander Vander
eom before him, and en Vanderbem's in
dignant denial of the charges the bishop
advised him te resort te the civil courts
for redress and vindication. The woman
previous te going befere a notary ettered
te settle for $2,000.

MORE
Hart Ties
THAN 100 MILES A DAY.
Blewer Brown's Score ac the End
of 95 Heur.
The excitement and interest in the six
day race in Madisen Square garden, Xew
Yerk, was much greater yesterday than at
any time since the beginningef the contest.
At least three thousand spectators remain
ed in the garden through the afternoon and
in the evening all the available places were
uncomfortably jammed at an early hour.
Never before has se close a struggle by
two men occurred, day after day, as that
which has new gene en for nearly a week
bstween Hart and Debler.
Hart passcn Blewer Brown's great Lon Len Lon
eon score for the first time yesterday at 5
p.m. He was 110 yards ahead of B. B.
Hart's score standing JJ77 ; Debler's
37G.
By 9 o'clock the throng of spectators was
by far greater than at any preceding time
during the match. The constant tramping
of thousands of uneasy feet, the unceasing
murmur of many voices, and the continu
ous applause by the admirers or partisans
of one or another of the rival pedestrians,
maintained a steady rear like that of a
tremendous cataract.
As the evening wero en, it became ap-
parent that the much-talked of "dark
horse" was beyond question, Pegran-J
Maintaining his jogging trot, steadily and
rapidly gained upon Hart, and still mere
swiftly upon Debler, who was walking
slowly and evidently in great pain. His
joints are limber, his muscles springy, his
eyes wide awake, and there is but one man
en the track who leeks as fresh as he.
This is at the completion of his ninety
third hour of contest.
The one who looked as fresh as Pegram
was Hart. People who have watched his
performance from day te day are tilled
with wonder at his extraordinary power of
endurance. He struts along with a con
scious pride of movement that' is equalled
by nothing in nature except a bantam
cock, and his trainers affirm that net a
chafe, a blister, or any ether physical in
jury has thus far ceme te him, except his
suffering from want of sleep.
Debler wentefT te his tent at 9:10and"
it was said by his trainers that it was very
doubtful whether he would be allowed te
go en again or net." O'Leary said it would
be a shame te break down se geed a man
as he has proved himself te be, merely te
save what will come from his making the
4e0 miles. Unfortunately, the peer fellow
did net get better, but, en the contrary,
his physical condition manifestly grew
worse constantly. He limped very pain
fully en his left feet, and his face were a
leek of pain and weariness that left noth
ing in it of the determined and hopeful ex
pression it has berne before.
The midnight score was as fellows :
Hart, 405 miles ; Debler. 391 ; Pegram,
391; Heward, S73 ; Williams, 349;
Krelme, 352 , Allen, 305 ; Ilanwaker, 313.
