had been subjected, Miss Belle Grouse.
the pretty young daughter of the Rev.
N. P. Grouse, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church, of S~tanhope, N. j.,
broke down Thursday night in the
middle of a marriage ceremony
which in another minute would
have made her the wife of
Percy c.. Bissell, and hinging herself
upon the officiating clergyman. the
Rev. DR.. C. M. Gifin, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, of this city,
cried Historically that her lover had
forced her to the altar at the point
Of a revolver.
INSTANTLY there was a lively mixup.
DIR. Gihin clinchsd with the suitor,
throwing him to the floor, bound his
arms, took his gun away, stood guard
over him and sent Miss Grouse for a
policeman. She, however. rushed to- a
cottage in Ocean Grove, where she
was stopping with her parents. Later
Bissell broke away from the Metho-
dist parsonage and again forced his
attentions upon Miss Grouse, though
in order to do so he had to break
through a window If the Ocean Gro e
house.
At this stage of the proceedings a
policeman interviewed, and taking Bis
sell to the station, started him off on
a train for New York, as the. Grouse
family refused to make charges
against him and pleaded that the af-
fair be hushed up. Great efforts were
made to keep it from the public. and
it was not generally heard of until last
night.
The principals have enjoyed a high
social standing in Stanhope. Miss
Grouse is exceedingly pretty and a So
cial favorite in the town. She recently
graduated from Blair Hall, Bissell is
the son of prominent residents of Stan
hope and until recently sang in tho
Presbyterian Church choir. He Is a
teacher in the Sunday school and a stu

School. Objections to his attentions
had lately been made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Grouse when stories ven the rounds
in Stanhope that Bissell had been gam
bling heavily, and they took their
daughter to Ocean Grove, that she
might avoid him. Mr.. Grouse told his
daughter of Bissell's alleged character
only Monday of this week, and she i'm
mediately wrote him a letter to the
Normal School in Trenton refusing to
have anything further to do with him.
