MINISTER FLEES FROM A SCAN
DAT,

The good folks of New Hope, Penn
sylvsnia, q few miles above Trenton
n. j., are shocked. Rev. William Nj.
Cox. pastor OF the Thomson Memorial
Church, OF New Hope, and also of the
Lambertsvle, n. j., Presbyterian
Cnurch. is among the missing, and two
women have become conspicuous by his
departure. One of these is Miss Kath.
crime Thornton, school principal OF
New Hope, and the other is Miss Hcag-
land, pretty brunette, twenty five
years old, who accuses the clergyman
OF deceivng her.
Miss Hoagland has been housekeeper
for Mr.. Cox for several months. She
bore good reputation, and, although
many refused to believe her story Mt
first, the girls previous good character
was in her favor. Miss Thornton was
engaged to be married to the Clergy
man. She had given up her position
as school principal and bad ordered her
trousseau. The date set for the we'd
ding was September 10. When she
learned of the clergyman'5 faithless-
ness she sent Il curt note to him, break
ing off the engagement. This brou4 hit
matters TO climax, aud within a day
or two the minister left town for p rs
unknown. He took with him his three
daughters, the eldest of whom is thlr.
teen years OF age.
The missing divine is forty-fve years
Old, remarkably haLdsome, aud With Il
magnificent physique. He has been at
New Hape for four years. During that
time he has star I'd a vigorous crusade
against vice and immortality. Almost
every Sunday, at one or the other
churches be served, he would depict
the awful punishment in store for those
who lead sinful lives. He even went
so far as to address personal letters to
some of the members Of his ch,rch( S
beseeching them to abandon their par.
ticular vices. His reform methods gave
ofense to many in his flock and they
deserted. But he continued his ex-
hortation against vice to the eLd.
Miss Hoagland left the minister's
house several days ago and went 10 her
parents home at Neeley's Mills, mile
below New Hope. Her father. Peter
aoagland, one of the most prosperous
farmers of the district, is almost dis
tracted over the affair and threatens to
shoot Cox on sight. His neighbors
threaten to treat Cox to coat OF tar
and feathers if they get chance to lay
hands on him.
Miss Thornton, who has the sympa-
Thy ola host of friends, lives with her
widowed mother at New Hope. She
is the daughter OF DR.. John l.. Thorn
ton, who was one of the best known
meu thereaboutS.

SAYS He HYPNoTIZED HER Mrs.
Ella Johnson, of Mount Vernon, o.,
has had many matrimonial experiences.
She has been through four divorce suits
without any apparent loss of her plump
ness or her smile.
Mrs. Johnson's maiden name was e.
la Hawkins. Ga July 20, 1879, she
made her first matrimonial plunge, and
was married TO Jay Burgess, at Erie,
Pa. Burgess is variety actor, his stage
name being Danny Mann. July %.
1895, Mrs. Burgess sued her husband
for divorce, and the decree was granted
on the grounds of absence and failure
TO provide. ooo
Mrs. Burgess, on July 8, 1896 WIS
married to Horace Johnson. On March
| 30. 1896, she asked for divorce, and it
was granted in the following June.
Just eighteen days from the date OF
their divorce they were again married,
and lived together until December, 20,
| 1897, when Mrs. johnson again sought
The courts for separation, and was ac-
commodated. On Sunday, March, 6, this
| much married couple again united their
| fortunes. The last break for freedom
came in June, when another decree Was
asked, .and, on August, IS, was granted.
When asked if she could explain why
she had married the same man three
times Mrs. Johnson said "It is an
irresponsible impulse. Every man
nas powers over certain woman.
# be can but find that woman he is
king. Mr.. Johnson had those positive
! faculties, and l succumbed. Then
came moments OF remorse and release
from the strange spell, and l could not
endure even his presence. fled and
sought divorce. But the spell return-
ed. l believe shall return to him."

Almost every National evidence OF adj
