Buffalo, Oct. 18:-'Rev." Charles P.
Logan, an alleged bishop of the Evange-
lical Church, has left town, after secur-
ing a few hundred dollars in subscription
to what he denominated the Buffalo
Colored Orphans Manual Training
school," He came. here from Cleveland
about four months ago, then hastily re-.
moved to ALLEGHENY City, and again re-
turned to Buffalo about three weeks ago,
since which time he has been industri-
ously circulating his subscription paper.
Logan is a Negro, with, very black skin,
bushy beard and head of hair. He
says he is 81 and looks IS. He is fluent
talker and bears evidence of more than
ordinary education. He carries about
with him red leather pocketbook and
showed long list of subscribers to his
training school," The amount set down
ranged from Is centsto $25. and among
the names of his victims were Mayor
Bishop, Postmaster Gentsch, State Com
mitteeman j. N. Scatcherd, and A. F.
Scheu, the four principal breweries and
a dozen well-known business men.
On the top of'one of the pages of his
subscription book appeard this caba]istic
symbol: '.3l-73-l6:" This is now in
the possession of the police. When
Logan was here last June he was run in
for drunkenness, and fined S.. He was
accompanied at that time by young
woman whom he called his wife. She is
still here. She says Logan received his
appointment as bishop from Bishop
Campbell year ago. The members OF
this church,. however, profess ignorance
of the bishop and his manual training
school scheme. Logan is thought to
hove gone to Chicago. He is said to
haye been, driven out of Washington by
the police for playing the impester in
that city.

their temporal welfare, few attach a
literal meaning to their words. Dea-

He was everything that was vile, and
as he enumerated the crimes laid

of marrying such a wicked sinner.
If you are only half as bad as you
say you are, l wouldn't ever have
