MRS. BEnLAH IN NEST pIRalvIA.
She Attempts to Get a Bogus Check Caslied
ni a Bank.

mt Bank.
The latest report concerning Mrs.
Joseph Bellah, whose actions have been
brought TO public attention at various
times, gives Parkersburg, w. Va, as
the scene OF her movements. This
latest story is that an elegantly dressed
woman, accompanied by handsome
boy, called at the residence OF the Rev.
Mr.. Runner Of Parkersburg and was
shown into the library.
She rushed towards Mr.. Runner as if
she knew him, and appeared much
surprised that he did not recognize her.
In spite of her efforts to make him re-
member her, the minister failed in the
recognition. Finally his visitor told
him that her husband had gone away
unexpectedly, and left no money, and
asked the minister il he would not DO
kind enough to loan her $3.50 till the
next day. He replied that no did not
have that much money in the house.
She then asked him to give her check
for that amount, but he said he did not
have that much in bank. Her next ro-
quest was that he should 60 10 the bank
next day and identify her. Mr.. Runner
promised to do this
That night, however, he saw the
cashier of the bank and explained the
matter to him.
The next day tho minister appeared
at the bank with the woman who pre-,
scented check. Mr.. Runner asked her
what bank in Wilmington she had
business with and she said il was the
Bank of Delaware. Thereupon the
minister was about to telegraph to the
bank to see if it was all right, but the
woman flared up at him for treating
her 80, and fled from the bank.

Lawton of the Board Of Trade has worn
an unusual air of confidence on his face.
A reporter of Tho Gazette requested
an explanation, and Mr.. Lawton re-
marked that the Board of Trade has

couragement in the matter Of barbor

as confident that tho needs of Whining

Grafton by Congress.

stated Tuesday that he is confident
that one half a million dollars will be
appropriated for tho deepening of the

statement to mean that Mr.. Reyburn
is interesting himself in the improve

Little Doubt That Annie HoGrath Was
Murdered by Her Wealthy Lover.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, March 25.-There
is little doubt to-day that Annie Nc
Grath, the beautiful 18-years-old girl,
who was found dead at No. 1926 Girard
avenue on Monday night, was murdered
by Samuel P Langdon, wealthy coal
operator, whose mistress she was. The
evidence thus far adduced points almost
conclusively to the theory that he
killed her and then attempted to COM.
nit suicide, but weakened in this and
fled from the house. He is still
prisoner at the City Hall, where he will
probably be kept until the chemical.
analysis of the girls stomach is COM
pleted.
Detective Frank Geyer, who unraveled
the Holmes murders, is on the case and
when asked for his opinion said:
People don't scream unless placed in
perilous position. Only one theory
can be held. Tho girl is dead and the
mans alive and locked up.''

Eds. Record Union:" officers and
members Of the Patriots of America OF
Coin" Harvey's Financial School OF
Calf indulged in some distasteful prac-
tees yesterday morning between the
hours of and 3 o'clock.
The Silver Club of Gait felt not a
little chagrined over the very popular
demonstration accorded Hon. Grove l..
Johnson at his Stockton meeting, and
as trainload after trainload Of Sacra-
mento's uniformed Republican clubs
sped through the town en- route to the
Slough City, Bryan 16 to 1 followers
were completely dazed and dunn
founded. 1t was not, however. until
a number Of the silver patriots flew
the coop" and joined the Gait Mckinley
Club, taking passage for Stockton on
one Of the excursion trains that the
free and unlimited fanatics lost their
heads.
AS each excursion train passed
through Gait the Mckinley Club Of the
town fired appropriate salutes Re-
turning from Stockton the excursionists
were saluted in gorilla fashion by the
Patriots Of America" Salutes were
fired in bushwhacking order, followed
by catcalls of Sixteen Bryan men to
one Mckinley man"
The Sacramento people on the train,

sion that the lost remnant Of the Ma

Eds. Record Union: At no time
during the present campaign for Con-
gresham in the Second Congressional
District have read any account of the
bill introduced by our present Congress
man, Hon. Grove L. Johnson, in refer
ence to pensions.
The bill is intended to raise the mini
mum amount paid a pensioner to S12
per month, while at the present time it
ranges from 81 upward.
Now this bill introduced by our pres
ent Congressman will never again see
the light Of day unless Mr.. Johnson Is
reelected. Therefore every widow in
this district should see that her voting
sons, if she has any. vote for Hon.
Grove L. Johnson, and all pensioners
who are now receiving less than ST. per
month should not only vote for his re-
election, but should work with all their
might and use their influence with their
friends to vote for our Republican Con-
gressional nominee.
All pensioners, whether they are get
ting S4 or $40 per month, should work
and vote for the reelection or Mr..
Johnson. / think that this bill intro
duced by our Congressman should be
more fully understood and explained,
and from now until the Sd Of November
every paper in the district favorable to
the reelection Of Mr.. Johnson should
keep 1t before the people, while all PEN
sioners, regardless Of politics. should
cast their votes for him and return him
to the halls Of Congress to fight to
finish for his noble pension bill.
