HT PISTOIS POINT,
.Young Woman Driven to Altar at
Asbury Park..
SAVED BY THE MINISTER.
Clergyman Licks Would Be Bride
groom, and Wedding Bells Fail to
i Ring?One Sided Elopement Result of
! Parents* Disapproval.
Driveu to tue altar at pistol's point,
<Miss Beiie Crouse, the pretty young
daughter cf Rev. N. P. Crouse. pastor
of the First Presbyteriau church of
Stauhope, N. J., broke down in the
midst of a. marriage ceremony which
in aaother moment would have made
'her the wife of Percy Bissel!.
.' Throwing herself upou the officiating
?clergyman, Rev. Dr. G. M. Griffin, pas
tor of the First Methodist church of
'Asbury Park, N; J., she cried hysteric
ally bow her lover had forced her to
the altar at the point of a revolver.
Instantly there was a lively mixup.
Dr. Griffin clinching with the suitor,
throwing him ?.o the floor and binding
?his arms. Then he took his revolver
away and, standing guard over the
prostrate form of young Bissell, sent
Miss Crouse for a policeman. Instead
she rushed to a cottage in Ocean Grove
\Where she was stopping with her par
ents.
Later Bissell broke away from the
Methodist parsonage, where the cere
mony had been going on, and again
forced his attentions on Miss Crouse,
rthough iu order to do so he had to
'break through a window of the Ocean
Grove house.
At this stage of the" proceedings a
policeman intervened and, taking Bis
sen to the station, started him off on
a train for New York. The Crouse
family refused to make charges against
?bim and pleaded that the fracas be
thushed up.
Great efforts were made to keep the
affair from the public. The principals
have enjoyed a high social standing in
Stanhope. Miss' Crouse, daughter of
the Presbyterian pastor, is exceedingly
pretty and is a social favorite in the
town. She recently graduated from
Blair Hall.
Bissell is the sou of prominent resi
dents of Stanhope and until recently
.sang In the Presbyterian church choir.
(He It a teacher in the Sunday school
of the church and a student at the
Trenton State Normal school.
Objection to his attentions bad late
ly been made by Rev. and Mrs. Crouse.
The Crouses had taken their daughter
to Ocean Grove that she might avoid
him. Rev. Mr. Crouse told his daugh
ter of rumors about Bissell's life only
?recently, and she immediately wrote
THE CLERGYMAN CLINCHED WITH THE
SDITOK.
him a letter at the Normal school In
Trenton refusing to have anything
further to do with him, and a few
days ago the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Crouse
and their daughter went <to Ocean
Grove for a short rest, staying at 70
iLake avenue.
Upon receipt of Miss Grouse's letter
young Bissell lei t Trenton and -went to
iStanhope. Finding the parsonage
closed, he went to Ocean Grove. Miss
iCrouse met Bissell ou the street as he
iwas searching for her. He was great
ly excited and demanded that she mar
ry him immediately. Miss Crouse flat
tly refused and begged him to leave the
4owu.
Miss Crouse says she pleaded with
him nearly two hours. Finally Bissell,
as they walked along the ocean front
in the dusk, declared if she refused to
marry him he would shoot her and
then him .elf. Miss Crouse, thorough
ly scared, consented to go to Rev. 0.
M. Griffin, whom she knew, and be
?married.
Her plan, she says, was to get Bis
sell somewhere where she could ob
itaiu assistance and protection. Call
ing a hackman, the couple were driven
to the parsonage of the First Metho
dist Episcopal church, and Dr. Griffin
,was asked to marry them. Then she
liroke down.
After leaving Dr. Griffin's pursouage
(Miss Crouse returned to her home for
iier mother and had been upstairs bat
41 few minutes when Bissell arrived at
the house. Receiving no response to
his knock, he broke through a window.
iMrs. Issar, who owns the house, told
.the young man that Miss Crouse and
'her mother had gone over to Asbury
(Park.

WISE MARE FLAGS A TRAIN.
Saves Her Colt, Caught by Legs In
Railroad Bridge.
A most remarkable Instance of ani
mal sagaciry is related by James Par
rott, an engine driver, and Frank
King, a conductor, in the Houston
(Tex.) Chronicle.
When a southbouud passenger train
was near Ha Iis burg a mare suddenly
dashed up the track toward the train,
running swiftly. It looked as if she
would run right iuto the engine, and
the air brakes were quickly applied.
THE MARE STOPPED AND BEGAN" WHINNY
ING.
slowing the train down to six or seven
miles an hour. Parrott thought the
1 mare was blinded by the headlight, but
the train was no sooner slowed down
than the mare turned about and went
from the train, keeping right down the
tracks and making it impossible to run
fast lest the animal be struck.
The mare went straight to a bridge
over a creek, and when within a short
distance of the bridge of the railway it
was discovered that the colt of the
: mare had fallen with all its feet
through the bridge, placing It where it
would have been killed had not the
mare flagged the train. The mare
stopped and began whinnying, and the
train stopped also. Parrott, the fire
man and some of the passengers got
off and. relieving the colt, left the
mare to trot off with her young as
proud as a peacock.
GHOSTS'WERE BUSY BEES.
Leaking Honey Explains Mystery of
Haunted House In Maryland.
The mystery surrounding the alleged
haunted chamber in the residence of
Dr. Thomas Fell, president of St.
John's cpllege, at Annapolis, Md., has
been cleared up by the discovery of an
immense hive of bees uuder the floor
ing.
It is thought that the. thousands of
busy little workers had been making
their abode there for some six or eight
years. After the bees had been either
exterminated or driven out a hive of
honey eight feet long and sixteen
inches deep was found. It is estimated
that there were 250 pounds of it, and
'the family of Dr. Fell has honey
enough for its buckwheat cakes for
some time to come.
The bees and their hive were dis
covered by the honey? which began to
leak through the ceiling and dropped
on the diulng room table, which was
directly below. Kerosene and sulphur
candles were used to either drive the
bees out or kill them. There were
thousands of them. The floor of the
room was torn up to complete the job.
Only one person was stung. Dr. Fell s
steward. The bees had made their way
beneath the flooring through a small
crack under a window sill, aud it Is re
markable that their presence had not
become known long before tin's. The
spare room has generally been used by
Dr. Fell's guests, many of whom have
complained of hearing strange noises
at night, but members of the family
laughed the matter into ridicule.
Disrobed by Lightning.
William i'otter, a colored man of
Pearl River. Rockland county. N. Y.,
was completely disrobed by a lightniug
belt during a storm. Potter, who is
a.well digger, was discussing the "sit
uation" from a soap- box in Jim Met
nor's grocery store. A group of vil
lagers stood around bun. The light
ning shaft hit a tree outside the win
dow and enveloped the orator, who
was in the midst of a telling argu
ment. Wheu the crash was over and
the crowd bad recovered from the
blinding flash Potter sat l>eforo them
as nude as the day he was born. His
clothes lay in shreds at his feet burn
ing. A doctor found that his right leg
was paralyzed and that his sight and
hearing had been affected.
Geese on a Jag.
Martiu Beck, a farmer on the Cone
wango hills, near York, Pa., is humili
ated to admit three of his geese went
on a disgraceful spree after having
eaten some pulp from a cider mill.
Some time after ihe eating of the pulp
the peculiar action of the fowls at
tracted the attention of the farmer.
They swayed from side to side and
cackled hoarsely. Finally one by one
they fell limp and apparently dead.
Mrs. Beck carried the fowls into the
house with the intention of plucking
them, when they revived. Since then
the geese have kept away from the
cider mill and have tried to prevent
other geese from going near It.

HOW TO MIX IT.
The Directions to Prepare Simple
Home Mixture.
Tells You How To Overcome Rheu
matism With Simple Recipe, Which
Is Easily Mixed..
A well-known authority on Rheu
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, oneounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparflla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking weil in a bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be
ing of vegetable extraction are h?rm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheuma
tism. The pain and swelling, if any,
diminishes with each dose, until per
manent results are obtained, and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheumatism
remedies , patent medicines, etc.,
some of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and
the the above will, no doubt, be great
ly appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicts the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought seperately, or the
druggists here will mix the prescrip
tion for our readers if asked to.
Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,
writes: "I can thank God for my
present health, due to Foley's'Kidney
Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds
of kidney cures, but nothing done me
much good till I took Foley's Kidney
Cure. Four bottles cured me, and I
have no more pain in my back and
shoulders. I am 02 years old, and
suffered long, but thanks to Foley's
Kidney Cure I am well and can walk

CAME LONG DISTANCE.
Message Came Twelve Thousand
Miles When Picked Up.
W:hile Morconi experts were testing
new receiving cones at the top of the
tower at the station at Port Morien
last week, an operator was in com
munication with the wireless station
at Manila. The message received was
that the American cruiser Philadel
phia had arrived.
The Marconi people account for the
occurrence by the theory that th\:
cone at Manila must have been In
perfect tune with that at Port Morien.
The message from Manila was
"picked up" while being sent to
some other station on the Pacific or
to a war vessel. The message was
recorded at the time by an operato i
in the receiving ro.-.u at the Marconi
station. ?
j At the time the experts were ex
perimenting in an effort to receive
messages from Ireland. They re
ceived several messages from the
Irish station, and were in the act of
making further tests when the instru
ments recorded the arrival of the
Philadelphia at Manila.
The Marconi people say that no
mistake was made and that the mes
sage was undoubtedly sent by the
Manila station, which is about 12,
000 miles distant, and that, as a re
sult, experiments with the stations
in the east will shortly be attempted
Port Morien, where the Marconi
station is located, is the most easterly

In Torments a Year and a Half with
Terrible Sores on Face and Body
?Hands Tied to Stop Scratching
and Tearing at Flesh?But
CURE BY CUTICURA
COMPLETE AND SPEEDY
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a phy
sician treat him, but the sores grew worse.
Then they began to come on his arms,
then on other parts of his body, and'
then one came on his chest, worse than
the others. Then I called another physi
cian. Still he grew worse. At the end
of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tie his hands
in. cloths at night to keep him from,
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to btva mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My
aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me a small piece of
Cuticura Soap to try and a little
Cuticura Ointment. I took it home
without any faith, but to please her I
tried it, and it seemed to dry up the
6ores a little. I sent to the drug store
and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a
box of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
6ince. He is now strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely sny that only for
your most wonderful remedies my pre
cious child would have died from those
terrible sores. I used only one cake of
Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

When Noah told the people a flood was coming nobody be

his words would have carried conviction. He failed to con
