CUPID OUTWITTED
MonOIogist Bingham and Miss Ger
mera Decided to Elope.
The r Ice lnterfered and a General
Fight Ensued- Bingham 10 Well
Known Here.

The following dispatch from At
lanic City will prove of interest to the
many friends here of Mr.. Ralph Bing'
ham, who has entertained quite a
number Of audiences in Paducah:
Atlantic City. N. j., August IA
The police arrested Cupid last night
in one of his widest flights and
clipped his wings so successfully that
the little god of love will be in the
hospital for some time to come.
Miss Isabel Cermera. San Francis
co beauty with ss, 500, 900 coming to
her when she reaches 81 years cid, is
here with her uncle, ]. V. Andrews,
Ralph Bingham, monologist, was also
here up to last night. Mr.. Bingham
and Miss Cermera decided ter
weeks acquaintance, that it was time
to marry, and started to elope. Mr..
Andrews secured police aid. The
clippers accompanied by two young
men, took carriage and started for
Longport, to take boat to Ocean
City to be married. The police got
ahead and stopped the carriage. A
fight ensued. and when the party were
placed in the patrol wagon Mr.. Bling
ham had lost his collar and his dig
nifty, and had numerous rents in his
wedding garments. His two friends
were in similar plights and Miss Ger
mera was in tears. Before the prison
cell was reached, Mr.. Bingham com
promised on a promise to leave town,
which he did. and the young woman
was given some strong advice on the
duty of a society beauty with millions
at her command. She was fearful,
but whether rcpentant or nos re,
mains a secret between the young lady
and Cupid.
What started Andrews ON the trail
was this note left by the young
woman:
my Dear Uncle; have gone away
with the man of my choice. | know
he will make me happy. Forgive me,
love him and cannot help myself.
ISABEL
Andrews and his wealthy charge
have left for New York. 1t is under
stood that Bingham is in that city in
search of them.

Tumblin was supposed to be armed,
and bont ON murder should anyone
attempt TO take him. but there was
no troubhic in capturing him, and he
was landed in Jail at Princeton before
mRny people know he was in custody.
He had been located in various
places at different times, and only last
evening sheriff Cowper, Of Livingston
county, with posse went TO the
Doom settlement twelve miles from
Smithland, having hcard Chat he WAS
there At one time he was in hiding
in the dense swamps about Dyousburg.
and does got seem TO have made much
of an effort TO get far away.
Tumblin IL guilty Of most cold
bloo,ied murder, and will doubtless he
fully punished, as sentiment Is very
much against him. He walked up 20
young Riley and shot him dead in a
drug store then went home, got what
he wanted and made for the woods.
He is 50 or 40 years old, and has a

A FREAK.
Woman Who Does Nothing But
Travel on Charity Was Here
Today-She Was Very Frank With the
Mayor-sent to Fulton and Given
Quarter

Mayor ]. NJ. Lang has been in office
nearly four years and If what he has
been often told is true he has probably
helped more people who never had to
be helped before than any other mayor
the city ever had. They all say;
Now this is the first time | ever had
10 ask for help-and I'll send you the
money as soon as get there"
Thus far not a single person Of the
hundreds who have made such prom
ises ever sent the city cent for the
money thus furnished. And Mayor
Lang thinks none ever will.
This morning a woman with a three
year old child called on him and gave
her name as Cora Wilkerson. She
said she came from Monroe, La, orig
inally, but for the past six months
has done nothing but travel from
place to place ON charity passes.
She candidly admitted that it was a
good, easy way to live, as all cities
have funds out Of which to transport
destitute people, and it is a cheap
way to get rid of them. Being a
woman with child, she has little
trouble in getting contributions and
tickets in all the cities she strikes.
She has no particular destination and
knowing nothing worse to do, the
mayor sent her to Fulton. She had
not decided when she'left. which way
she would go from there. She intends
to keep up her method Of making a
living indefinitely, and said she would
settle down but she was afraid some
one would take her child from her.
Mayor Lang thinks she is very fond Of
the child because il induces many to
contribute TO her indoleDt way Of liv-
ing who would not otherwise. She
uses the youDgster very successfully
in her endless tour of the country on
charity. There was nothing to do
with such a woman but to send her
away, as it would cost more to take
care OF her than to get rid Of her.
She hal the nerve to ask for a quarter
10 get something TO eat when she
reached Fulton, and the mayor kindly
supplied It,

this morning said
"My friends gave me the office
without any solicitation whatever on

THE present trouble caused me to
want TO resign again. as I do not care
to hold the Office and never did, but as
my friends are so persistent that ! act
as chairman, intend to hold on and
and will not resign

"What l did was TO write Commit.
teeman Glen whittemore a roast four
pages long telling him that the trou-
blos Of the local Democratic commit
tee are few and could be settled here
at home without his or any other out
side persons interference. This
was about the main substance OF the
letter and said nothing about re-
signing and do not intend to do so. "

HARD TO GET BODY OUT.
Part of Side Of Stephens Residence
Had to Be Torn Out

In order to move the remains of the
late James Stephens. of Green Ridge
street. from the home to the hearse. it
was necessary yesterday afternoon to
tear down part of one side of the build
ing. The great bulk of the deceased
huckSter. who weighed almost four
hundred pounds. necessitated the max
ing of a special coffin of mammoth di-
mensions to contain the body, and il
was impossible to carry this through
the doorway.
A window and easement were there
fore removed and a large portion of the
siding sawed away. thus making an
opening about six feet by five. The
weight of the casket proved as great.
that in addition to the regular pail
bearers it was necessary for several
others to lend a hand. The funeral
was attended by great number of
friends of deceased. the crowd filing
the house and actually blocking the
street in front of the residence.
The services We're conducted by the
Rev. DR.. Simpson. pastor of the As
bury Methodist Episcopal church. the
music being furnished by Il quartette
from his church. The regular pail
bearers We're Roger Grimes. Matthew
Riley. William Sergeant. Lee LAWS,
