THE bellies STRATAGEM. There are
more ways of eluding the vigilance Of
lynxeyed guardians than by ladder OF
ropes from chamber window, as the
sequel will show, About the middle OF
last week two young ladies and two
gentlemen, all apparently in mourning,
paid morning visit to church in quiet
neighborhood in st. Annes Ward. On
their entering the church the door was
closed and locked, and the ladies--leaving
the gentlemen to disencumber themselves
of their overcoats and draw forth their
white kid gloves-retired behind the
pulpit, whence, having relieved each
other of the habiliments of woe, they
shortly emerged in full bridal attire. The
object of their visit was now patent, and
the clergyman, accompanied by minor
official, appearing from the vestry, they
joined the metamorphosed mourners at
the altar, when the nuptial ceremony was
gone through. The gentlemen then
resumed their overcoats the ladies again
retired to their impromptu robeing room,
and reapearing in their mourning costumes,
the happy party left the church, looking as
demure as though their visit had been
for the purpose Of inspecting a table
erected to the memory of defunct rela-
tive.

Election offs Rabbi.

The Hebrew Temple congregation,
az shem Shamajim," since the retire
ment of the pastor, the Rev. DIR. y,
MAYER, who has been the spiritual guide
ofthe Hebrew church for several years
have received several applications from
clergymen To- fill the vacancy. -Four
duly accredited ministers OF that faith
preached here at different times on trial
and after the two sermons preached
and divine service performed by Rev
DR.. Jacob Thco. Nogclsdorfi, late oI
DAYTON, O., he was. at a gen.
eral meeting Of the congregation, held
Yesterday forenoon, unanimously elected
Rabbi, with a higher salary than that
previously agreed upon. 1t seems that
the young divine created quite an en-,
thusiasm amongst our Hebrew citizens
bv his addresses and his social CONVEX
sation during his stay in the city.
We heartily congratulate both the
Rev. Rabbi, DR.. NogelsdoriT, and the
congregation. We have no doubt the
members, as they have shown
since his stay in our midst
will continue to hold their new learned
Rabbi in that esteem he deserves, as
surfing the Reverend Doctor that ne has
a congregation OF members that any
minister may be proud OF, comprising
some OF our foremost citizens, not only
financially but also intellectually.
The Rabbi belongs to the reformed
class in Judaism, and enters upon hi,
duties az once.
Preparations will be made this weeb
for the formal installation, which vii
take place on Friday evening next. The
clergy Of this city will be invited, wher
DR.. Vogelsiorti will preach his inaugura
sermon.

Burglary Last Night.

Last evening, between 80 and $50
O'Clock. the residence and confectionery
store oi Charles Neuman, 40 1917 Mar
ket street, was entered 10y burglars, and
a trunk, containing some so in money,
two promiSSOrv notes, one Tor 500 and
the other for $50, and lot Of other pa
pcrS Of value, together with clothing and
other articles OF importance, carried Oft.
Mr. Neuman and his wife were at the
German Methodist Church, south OF
the creek, and on returning discovered
the burglary. Word was ut once
sent to the police, and three
officers went down. After exam
lining the house, they went in
search OF the perpetrators OF
the crime, and though they did not en-
counter them they did find the trunk,
about 500 of the money,and the cloth
inc. The thieves had rltled the trunk,
and left ii i'm the weeds on the creek
bank, near the saw mill. From the pre-
cipitation with which they departed, IT
is altogether probable that they were m
tcrrupted bv the officers before they had
finished their operations. The loss Is
ouitc \ serious one TO Mr.. Neuman, who
carries on the business of a coniectioner
i'm small way, and is dyer and repair
or oi cloths aS well.

WHEELING, August IL.
The attempt by Major Wright and
the gentlemen OF the investigating com.
mittee, by published affidavits and
statements in your issue OF this date, to
contradict my statement, are very lnge-
NOUS, to say the least. While Major
Wright does not deny that he ever made
the remark that "he had treated john
Doerr, and pumped him, and had got
him scared into the position Of being Il
very material witness" or words to that
effect vet he does not deny or in any
wise contradict the statement made by
me. as he would have the public be-
lieve. | cannot say when or where he
had made such 4 statement, but rclt-
crate that he made the same, and if he
should deny this can and will produce

ton. and more too, in connection there
