poison would prevent me from waking
up again Immediately"
In my opinion he was the victim OF
a fixed idea or persistent mental image,
probably OF a horrible nature. and so
influential in the realm OF his thought
that it held sway even in sleep and
drove him back in terror from the
pleasant land of dreams. 1t remained
for me to find out what this terror was
and to successfully combat it But up
on the occasion Of his first visit l did
not thiS-N> best to antagoniZe him by
too sharp questionings. therefore
gave him a dozen tablets containing
nothing that would do him any harm
(or good and made an appointment
with him for the day after tomorrow.
He came promptly. looking very hag-
gard and scared. and I had serious
talk with him. entirely destitute of
value to either of us. Upon this occa.
sion he came near to convincing me
that he really did not know what he
was afraid OF nor what dream it was
that invariably walked him
Naturally had asked him early
| whether he had any enemies. and he
had replied that he had none. But the
answer had been given In such n way
as to leave the impression with me
that while he feared no one and upor
his own part cherished no rational sci
mostly. he might be laboring under n
| impulse to injure some one.

" William Boyd McKenna. the

tells this story. He has told me
many. the majority of which should
not be repeated in a world where every
individual may read sufficient horrors

tale. however. is merely odd

Mr.. Brown before

peared that Mr.. Brown could not sleep.

NARROWING HORROR
The Martian Murderer Done to Death!
Pulled From the Pulpit

The Rev. DR.. Blank, pastor Of the
Peoples church, lies in a critical con-
dition at the City hospital, the victim
of violence at the hands of his own
parishioners.
The Sabbath quiet Of that church
was rudely broken by a scene Of riot
and bloodshed. No clear account can
be obtained, though we append exclu-
| sive interviews with prominent men,
bers who were present
But il seems that regular service was
| I'm progress when the magnetic presence
| of the Martian was felt by all. and it is
presumed that his evil spell was over
| the minister. the eloquent Rev. Blank.
| and caused those astounding utter
| ances which enraged his usually de-
| corous congregation into insurrection
| against him.
They rose as one man and literally
| tore him from the pulpit. He escaped.
though seriously injured, through a
side door and was taken to the hospi-
tai. Fears for his safety even in case
of recovery are entertained, so great is
the feeling against him.
The crowd was dispersed by officers
of the law amid much excitement. The
Martian must go.

States for the last three months. Some
little resume Of his career may not be

In the town where he first appeared
| Butte. Mont. there are yet traces OF
his ravages. He put an entire stop to
the system of social calls among the la.
dies. Instead Of joyful greetings the
caller met with such remarks from her
hostess as "Old frumpr' Hateful

for:"
To which the visitor responded, to
her own horror as well as that Of heI

Unknown Italian Dove from Front of
 Trolley Car Seat and Saved a Mans

Unknown Italian Dove from Front of
 Trolley Car Seat and Saved a Mans
 Life.
 A narrow escape from death under the wheels of a trolley car was averted about o'clock yesterday afternoon by the bravery of an unknown Italian who was seated on the front seat of the car. As Cornelius Mccarthy, of 79 Lafayette street, was crossing the street at the corner of Congress avenue and Lafay-5 cite street he fell in a fit on the car track directly in front of car 2S1 of the Sylvan avenue line. The car was going at . reasonable rate of speed, but as it was so close to the man when he fell he would undoubtedly have been killed had not the unknown Italian acted as he did. When the Italian saw the man tall he dove off the front of the car, sliding some distance, and was just in time to pull the man to one side and move out of the way himself before the car struck him. The car was in charge of Motorman Kinsella and Conductor William T. Maloney. 4.

ANNUAL EXCURSION HELD

 By Hospital Nurses, Patients and At
 tendants Splendid Outing.
 The annual excursion os the nurses, patients and attendants of the. New Haven hospital was held yesterday af- ternoon. The party also included a number of friends of those from the hospital and the total number of excur- sionists reached one hundred and fif- teen. The party started from this city at 2 o'clock on the barge Andrew M, Church and reached the dock on the re- turn at 6 o'clock. The trip out inte the sound was thoroughly enjoyed and a fine dinner and music added to the pleasantness o. the affair.
 The excursion was made possible by the kindness of a local person whose name is withheld but who has defrayed the expense of these excursions for the past ten years.
