at Banner, in this county, almost in

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Rev. A. G..
Harrison, pastor of the Peoples Tab
ernacle. and his family disappeared
from their home here yesterday, and
it is reported that the reverend gentle
man is $4,000 short in his accounts. He
was given entire charge of the church
funds, and, according to the charges,
failed to pay bills for furniture, car
pets and church organ, for which
the money was given him, and he also
borrowed large sums from his parish
oners. w. L. Bruen, the builder Of
the tabernacle, is a loser to the extent
of $1,000 When Mr.. Harrison learned
that an investigation was to be made
by the church, he departed hastily,
leaving his household goods. He came
to this city from Texas three years
ago, engaged in mission work, and
gained so large a following that the
tabernacle was built, chiefly through
the efforts of Mr.. Bruen, to give him a
following.
