HISTORIC Bt'ILDIKO TO OO.
Brtiler House, %Vhere Wuhlncton
ul StAiT Met.
A Boston dispatch say*: The Brlnlay
house, where Washington and his staff met
during the early days of the revolution, sit
uated In Roxbury, is to be demolished to
make room for a modern structure. Tha
building Is owned by the Mission Churoh.
and the pope has sent his approval of A
plan for ths erection of a new parochial
residence upon the spot.
Brinley house was erected In 1728 by Col.
Francis Brinley, on an estate of eighty
acres. The mansion has been the home of
many distinguished families, and it is a
survival of the days when the town was
the center of operations of the American
troops occupying Dorchester.
Perhaps the one room whose walls could
tell secrets Is the second hall, which was
styled the "reception room." It was in
this room that General Washington and his
stuff held their councils during the siege of
Boston, and here all the details of the
fighting about the city were planned. Tho
conference which resulted in the occupa
tion of Dorchester Heights was held in
this room, and on March 18. 1T7<V a coun
cil of war, with General Washington pre
siding, convened here that decided to erect
redoubts and fortifications in South Bos
ton, preparatory to forcing the British to
evacuate the city.

Peculiar Case of Cully Heara of Lau
rel. Delaware.
A dispatch from Laurel. Del., last night
says: At 11 o'clock yesterday nearly :s00
people left Laurel in special cars for an
outing at Ocean City. On arriving thurs
the party went for a dip in the sea. and the
jolllest one of the crowd was Cully Hearn,
a well-known young man, related to the
late Oov. Marvel.
Hearn Jumped on ihe back of a friend
and was tossed over the latter'* head His
companions were startled when he failed
to' come up. Life guards answered the
frantio cries and rescued Hearn after a
struggle, as he was being carried to sea
by the undercurrent. The body was rigid.
TTiree doctors worked on him for four
hours before he gave signs of life, an<1 then
he acted like a raving maniac. He had to
be held in bed, and while being brought
home he made several attempts to Jump
from the car window.
Cramp of the spinal cord is the cause as
signed. The local doctors think he will re
cover.
