the hero of "Phyllis'' is named Marina

in Mrs. Hungerford's title pages is the
device of her American and not OF her

real life Mrs. Hungerford has been
humorously known as the Duchess. In a

SOMERVILLE. Aug. /, 1854. d.
Baird and V. D.. Wyckoff, farmers from
the back country district Of Frankfort,
arrived here yesterday afternoon with
Peter Brockley. an insane youth, whom
they had bound with ropes to the bottom
of their wagon. Young Brockley is a lad
Of unknown parentage, whom Farmer
Baird obtained from a charitable insti-
tuition at Kingston, N. Y, nine years
ago.
Recently he has been given to fits of
violent insanity. in which he acts like
an enraged beast. Tuesday night he
disappeared from the home of his en-
ployer and was found this morning sec
reted in the barn of Farmer Wyckofr.
When approached by his captors he be-
gan tearing his clothes and tine boards
Of the barn floor with his teeth. F:e was
subdued after a desperate struggle, and
bound hand and foot. Brockley's fits OF
insanity are followed by periods of
slumber. which last for more than a
week. After awakening from his pro-
longed slurnber he is rational for weeks.
1t was the intention of Farmer Baird
to have him committed TO the insane
here he fell asleep, and when awakened
he had recovered his normal condition.
Farmer Baird. who is mucil attached
to the youth, refused to have him com
mitted to Jail. He returned to his home
with his troublesome charge last night.
Brockley's case is exciting the interest
of the local physicians.

Questions at Ocean Grove Meetings

Questions AT Oce2n UEOso
Special to the Jersey City Nears.
OCEAN GROVE, Aug. /, 1894 report
has been adopted by the New Brunswick
Preachers Association criticizing the
methods employed by the Rev. DIR.
Thomas Hanion, President of Pennington
Seminary, in conducting his Bible class
on Sunday afternoons in the auditorium.
DR.. Hanlon's class is supposed to be the
largest in the world. the average attend
ance being more than 1000.
The question was brought up at a re-
cent meeting of the Preachers Associa-
ton, composed of Methodist divines sta
toned in this vicinity and living In ocean
Grove. The objections raised at the
meeting We're that there is too much
liberty given in the answering of ques-
tons by DR.. Hanlon, and that the queries
and replies induced frivolity and OFTEN
bordered on sacrilege. Furthermore, II
was claimed the leader and his class fire.
auently wandered from the questions IN
der discussion and took up foreign SUP
iects entirely out of place on the Sab
bath and in the Lords house.
The Preachers Association appointed a
committee of three to consider the
charges. The committee was composed OF
the Rev. William H. Russell, vice-prest-
dent of the association; Prof. John NIL
son. of Ocean Grove, and the Rev. VIII
liam Franklin. a member OF the ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association. These
divines at the last meeting submitted a
report criticizing DR.. Hanlons methoI OF
conducting his class and recommending
that the leaders range OF discussion OF
topics considered be limited, The report
was adopted and a committee was APP
pointed to wait On DR.. Hanlon and CON
vey to him the sense of the association.
