A Recreant LochInyar.

Pittsbvrg, Aug. 11.-Miss Helen NJ.
Doherty, well known in the society OF
Aspinwall, fashionable Pittsburg sub
urb, brought suit for $1,000 damages
yesterday against II. W. Mclaughlin,
wealthy young man Of the North
Side. Miss Doherty alleges that she
has lost goad home through hearken-
ing to the voice + Mclaughlin. She
says that he promised to marry her,
permitted her to run away from home,
leaving scathing note behind for her
parents, and then did not keep his
promise to meet and marry her. This,
Miss Doherty sets forth, placed her in
a most embarrassing position, since she
had already left the home OF her par
ents, who objected to her friendship for
Mclaughlin. The tone OF her letter,
she says, was such as would not per
nit her TO return home.

The Crippen Case.

London, Aug. 11.-After a five
hours examination of the evidence
that will be submitted when the cOro-
ner's investigation into the supposed
murder of Belle Elmore Crippen is
resumed, experts have decided, accord
ing to statement by the Press As
ISOLATION today, that the body now
being held at the coroner's Office is
that Of woman and that she had
undergone an operation before death.
This conclusion is in keeping with
the statement cabed the London
Chronicle by its Quebec correspondent
last week, that Crippen had intimated
to the authorities that his wife died
from the effects of an operation which
he performed on her.
The experts found nothing in the
evidence to disclose the identity OF the
body, and the belief is growing that
the identity can never be established
without confession from DR.. H. H.
Crippen, the husband of Belle Elmore
Crippen, who with Ethel Clare Leneve.
his typist, is under arrest in Quebec.

Republicans Nominate parran.

Thomas Parran, of St. Leonard, Calvert
county, was nominated by acclamation as
the candidate of the Republican party Of
the Fifth Congressional district of Mary
land at Chesapeake Beach on Wednesday.
The fact that Attorney General Straus had
given his opinion that the Congressional
nominees would have to be chosen by
direct vote of the people under the Lee
primary law passed at the recent session
of the Legislature did not deter, the dele-
gates from accomplishing the business
for which they were chosen. They argued
that if the proceedings were declared void,
the Endorsement of>Mr. Parran by such q
gathering of representative Republicans
would mean his unanimous selection as
the candidate underline direct system Of
