AN IRATE PARSON.

Rev. Jos. Cook, Disturbed in a: Nap by a
Brother DIV ne with W hom he Had Agreed
to Attend Prayer Meeting, Behaves in a
Most Unministerial Manner.
KEEN, N. HI. March 8.
An authorized version of a recent dis
play of ministerial. pugilism has just been
made public, in which the Rev. 10. Cock
ASSAULTED fellow clergyman at a
hotel here for having called him
seven minutes too early to attend.
prayer meeting. A local paper
last week published an account of the
encounter, but the; conduct of the Rev.
Mr.. Cock was represented as so
gross that but few would believe in
the correctness of the narrative. To-day,
however, the belligerent clergyman is out
in letter in which the principal features
Of the affair are admitted. * The COM
mon version of the affair is. this: The
Rev. J. Cook was to deliver his lecture
on ssThe Seven Wonders of the Worldn
| in the City Hall one evening. On reach
ing town in the afteInoon he took room
at the Cheshire House, where he was
Called upon by the Rev. Mr. Price, pastor
of the Second Congregational Church.,
and invited to attend and take part in the
church prayer meeting just, before the
lecture At the time agreed upon Mr..
! Pnice; knocked at the door of Mr.. Cooks
.room,- but instead of being courteously
| received, he was set. upon: by Mr.. Cook,
who in towering rage, having appar-
tehtly been disturbed in a nap, came out
insthe' hall, and 'seiziig the visitor began
pushing him about and MISUNDERSTANDING
violent hands upon him, at the same time
using language unbecoming "a gentleman.
The disturbance attracted the attention
of a large number in the house, and land
lord Sherman, who was eating his suR0er,
| was among the first. to arrive at the
scene, but on seeing twO>of his dfstin-
guished guests engaged in private busi-
ness, he returned to the dining-room and
! finished his toast with as much COM
! posure as Josh Whftcomb resumes his
prayer after throwing the drunken father
of little Tot through the window. Other
witnesses say that the outcries OF the en-
| ragged lecturer We're emphasized by the
use. Of such expletyes as "Bafbarlap!"
"Hottentot.' ssGorilIa!" ETC.. The Rev.
Mr.. Price opened his meeting unas-
sisted, and there was a large attend
ance, as usual; perhaps few more, as no.
tice had been given of the expected ap-
pearance of the Rev. Joe Cook. Before
many minutes had elapsed he was seen
by the, pastor, seated near the door, and
as soon as practicable he left the desk
to speak with him, and returned unac-
companied. At the proper time MIR.
Cook was invited to lead in prayer,
which he. did with seeming reluctance.
Singing followed and then he was invited
to'speak, but instead of noticing the re-
quest, he seized his hat, and fastened
| out of the chuU!x not even taking care
that the dopr .sheuld not slam after him:
