Parents.
The New York World of this morning says:-
The story of the Rev. Horace Cooke is not yet
told Itsincidents have already been sufficiently
numerous and not few of them have been
painful. What 1t will be necessary to write of
MIN In the future, either in explanation or in
sympathy, it is unnecessary to anticipate Strange
as it will seem, he returned to this city on
Tuesday =
SAVED FROM RUIN.
The Joy of Miss Johnson's father, and mother,
and brother and sisters at her return was un-
bounded. They were only too glad to welcome
her back to their home and their love, and when
they became positively assured that she came
back to them as pure as when she lett, their
hearts were filled with unspeakable gladness.
| 1t is the theory of many persons who are init
mately acquainted with Cooke that his object in
running away with the girl was seduction, and
that failing in this he became maddened almost
TO insanity. One thing, however, is certain that
he did not succeed in running the girl, and that
she has come back to her friends as pure as when
she left.
WHERE WAS HE?
Where the reverend gentleman was between
his disappearance on Friday evening and his re-
appearance on Tuesday it is difficult at the pre-
sent moment to tell. But permitting this ldcund
in his history to remain untitled for the present,
the narrative of his adventures may be taken up
yesterday afternoon at
LovEJoYs HOTEL,
where he registered his name and address pre-
paratory to taking apartments. The name given
was that of Henry p. DAILY of st. Louis, Mo-"
After registering his name he turned round and
asked some one to come out with him. His
invitation was accepted by one OF the gentlemen
quaintance with him, and was in total ignorance
of lis object. The hotel is at one corner of
Beekman street.-the World Office is opposite.
Thither he walked manifesting no unusual feel

counter for a copy of yesterdays World 1t
was given to him. After reading some portions
of 1t he became excited-the views of the public
! on his conduct, as therein expressed, uniting
fessed he had been drinking to disturb his self
possession. He made some inquiries of the
clerk in reference to the articles contained in
the paper, which, OF course, that gentleman
could not answer. At that moment one of the
gentlemen connected with the editorial depart
ment of the World entered the publication office
. to obtain the key of the door leading to the
editors rooms. AS the manners OF ''Mr. Henry
p. Daily, of st. Louis, Mo-, were not at that
moment specially unpleasant, the official in the
counting room observed, There is gentleman
from upstairs; he knows more about those mat
ters than do"
'The manner Of ''Mr. Daily" Immediately
changed. His face became livid with anger.
Rushing towards the gentleman alluded to, he
cried out, gesticulating vehemently:-
"Who wrote that article, sir?"
Somewhat surprised at the unusual vigor OF
this address, the gentleman addressed quietly
Sreplied:-
''Your question is decidedly impertinent.
cannot inform you"
"Hal 1t was you, then, who wrote this foul
slander. ], sir, am the Rev. Horace Cooke"
Hereupon the Soi-diSdnt Mssourian rushed on
his supposed 'slanderer" in an intimidating
manner, subsequently catching him by the col
lar, and holding one hand behind his back as ii
searching in back pocket for pistol. This
Hnan and thn N n
saulted was unwilling to become q martyr, espe-
cially as he did not write any of the articles OBJ
jected to, he freed himself from the threatening
grasp of the reverend assaulter. Apprehending
further disturbance, he bade one OF the clerks to
| send for an officer to preserve the peace.
what do l care now for an officer? but
would give $50 for the man that wrote that
article"
After few moments in which Mr.. Cooke
kindulged in threats of similar strain an officer
came, and he was accordingly given in charge.
He was then brought to the
BEEKMAN STREET sTATIoN-HoUsE,
where he was accused of creating disturbance
81 In the publication office of the World and as
saulting one of its editors.
"By lingo" muttered one of the admiring
policemen who stood by, "He looks more like a
Rooshian officer than parson. He's dashing
fellow, and wouldn't mind falling in love with
him myself If was woman"
"Dashing" is exactly the word which describes
/ the normal Rev. Horace Cookies appearance; 1t
was hardly applicable to his then condition.
The charge was briefly told-that he had
assaulted, without provocation, gentleman
4 passing through portion of the establishment
= in which he was employed, threatening further
violence to other attaches of the same paper.
"Well, sir what's your name"
my name is Horace Cooke"
I ''Your age, Mr.. Cooke ?"
Thirty years"
'Your residenceY
Here there was pause Then he jerked out
quite abruptly
! 'In Seventh street, near the church; don't
i know the number.
"Your profession ?"
The hand of the ex-preacher-a handsome
one, by the way-was clasped over his eyes, and
4 moaningly he replied
50 i have none; have none nOlo."
The sergeant said nothing, but wrote on the
slate, and the sound fell gratingly on the ears o.
those present, through the sympathetic silence
which followed this last answer, half concession
half lament.
A few more questions, and the formalities o
the complaint were completed, and then Mr.
Il Cooke, turning round, said:-
This is all directed, not against me, bu
against my church. / know 1t ALL The pres
