JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The borough was thrown into state
OF gloom yesterday by the death Of
Walter Greenslade, son of Mrs. +. II.

was instantly killed while at work at
the foot Of the Delaware and Hudson
shaft. The young man, with four
other footmen, We're engaged in re-
placing on the rails a loaded car when

up the slope were being back branched
on the road the men were replacing

to which the trip of loaded cars was
attached pulled out and the trip with

man, Patrick Meehan, ATTEMPTED to
run down between the pillar and the
cars out Of danger, but before they
could get away the trip bumped into
the standing cars and hurled the hind
end of the second car around towards
the pillar catching the young man
against the pillar and holding him
there. He however, never spoke. his
life being almost instantly crushed out.
So badly were the cars deraled and
30 firmly was he pinned that il took
gang of men nearly an hour TO re-
lease the body. His body was not
badly mangled; one leg was broke, one

and two brothers and two sisters are
now living. Years ago the father
bought coats for the boys, but neglect

a coat as long as his father lived.
He went upstairs to his room, where
he remained until fourteen years after,

The house was afterward painted
with the most grotesque and curious
designs. While John, the peculiar, and
a brother were disputing about these
designs, the brother said John,

four years, coming down to attend the
brothers funeral. John, the recluse, is

QUEER RELIGION IN KENTUCKY
A Court Trial Leads to an Airing of
the Beliefs of Fanatical Sect.

From the Hartford Herald
One of the most interesting trials
ever occurring in this county was ter
minated at the Court House Wednes-
day. 1t was prosecution against
Henry Brown, Granvil Brown, James
Withrow, and Charles Bard, charged
with disturbing religious worship. The
story brought out at the trial is a most
interesting recital of the extent to
which religious fanaticism may easily
lead a community of people.
The defendants, with certain of their
neighbors, some years ago left the
Methodist and Baptist churches in their
community and organized a church Of
their own, teaching many doctrines not
countenanced as orthodox by either Of
the denominations to which they for
merly belonged SanctificatiOn was
among the least of the Differences be-
tween them and their former church
associates. AS time went on they be-
came more and more engrOssed with
their peculiar methods of worship. They
gave up association with the rest Of
mankind refraining from going to town
or anywhere else except upon the most
urgent necessity, devOting almost all
their time to attending upon the eX-
ercises of their church. They built
house of worship and employed a
preacher from among their own num-
Der. They neglected their farms until
within the past few months they have
come almost to utter want. What has

Joined in with the movement, ana as
part of their creed they did not uSH
any kind Of iewelry or give any but thu
most meagre attention to their per-
sonal appearance The women allowed
their hair to grow at will without coil
ing il upon the head as others do. The
men did not shave, and their personal
appearance soon came to paTtake Of
the general look Of dilapidation sur
rounding the community. They observe
Saturday as their Sabbath, ana so to
church early in the morning and spend
| the entire day in the most grotesque
performance ever seen in the form Of
religious ceremonies in a civilized land.
They sing and dance and shout and
pray and jump until the very hills re-
sound with the noise of the gathering
They join hands and march round and
round until they grow into perfect
frenzy of nervous ecstasy.
TO all of this and much that was new
in the doctrines taught some OF the
dissenters did not agree. The result was
that a part of those who aided in or
ganizing the church withdrew and
bought a farm and erected a house for
worship. All went we'll for few
months until the more enthusiastic
and loudest shouting party undertook
to forcibly evangelize the other crowd.
