suspicious of the sincerity of
the bearer and after testing him
in several ways this suspicion
grew into a certainty and be
declined to keep hint. When he
learned last night that the man
had returned here and imposed
upon the Methodist he immedi-
ately notified Mr. Cunningham.
Efforts were made last night
to communicate with the pastors
in Beaumont and put them on
guard against the imposter.
How he lias succeeded in pulling
the wool over the eyes of so
man/ of the leading men of the
two churches is a mystery, un-
less, indeed, his papers, which
bear every mark of genuineness,
are rank forgeries.
This 4s the second time within
the past few months that the
pastors of the Methodist and
Presbyterian churches in Orauge
have been victimized or attempt-
ed to be victimized by clever
swindlers.
The talk made by the for-
eigner at the Methodist church
yesterday morning was quite
interesting and entertaining
and no one in the congregation
doubted tor a moment the truth
of the statements made by him.
The county commissoners are
in sesaion today, sitting is a
Board ef Equalization, and will
probably be occupied for ' two
days in this work.

HONEST
DRUGS
Yesterday morning just before
the hour for the morning ser-
vices at Methodist church a dark
skinned, nicely dressed foreigner
called upon the pastor, Rev. H.
T. Cunningham,and, with num-
erous documents to prove his
identity and his good faith, in-
formed the pastor that his name
was Charles Mahomet, that he
wasanativeof Taugier, Moroc-
co, hisparentsand all his people
being Mohammedans. He stated
that his father sent him to this
country nine years ago to be
educated for busiuess and that
helias been attending Raudolph-
Macou college in Virginia; that
while attending school he was
converted to the Christian re-
ligion under the preaching of
Bishop Coke Smith, of the
Methodist church, bad joined
that church and having been
made a local preacher in the
church, was now going back to
his home in Morocco as a mis-
sionary to preach the Christian
religion to his people. He bore
recommendations from several
bishopsofthe Methodist church
and a number ot well known
Methodist pastors. Rev. Cuun-
ipgham granted him the privi-
lege of making a short address
to the congregation, after which
a collection was taken up to as-
sist in defraying his expenses
back home.
In his talk he spoke of some
of the customs of Morocco and
of the difficulties he had encoun-
ered in learning the English
language. He spoke very broken-
ly, but fervently declared his
intention of taking the glad
tidings of tbeCbristain religion
back to the people in his be -
nigbted land. The foreigner is
very dark, with coal black
mustache and hair, the latter
being rather long and parted in
the middle. He lefton the Oriole
train in the afternoon for Beau-
mont, to address the Y. M. C.
A. in that city.
After his departure, Rev. T-
J. Horne, pastor of the Presby-
teriancburch, beard of bts befng

ningham over the telpbone, they
compared notes and found {bat

At half past five o’clook this,
morning Tom Welch, well kqown
to nearly every one in Or«M|t,'
sitting in a chair in bis room at
the home of his sister, Mrs.
Alva Clay Bravo, seut a bullet
crpbing through bis brain ana
^fkplred in about half an hour,
without .uttering a word.
Thomas Welch was forty-two
years ot age and is well known
here, having for many years
past been employed in the mills
at Orange. Fora number, of
years he has been in ill health,
, and despondency over his condi-
"i tion is supposed to have preyed
I upon his mind until it caused
1 him to commit this rash act and
‘ hurl his soul suddenly into eter
nity.
Immediately after the tragedy
Judge J. Ball was summoned
and held an , inquest over the
body of the young man, who was
still breathing when he arrived
and expired within a few minu-
tes. After questioning those in
the bouse and making a thorough
investigation, Judge Ballarriv-
i «d at a verdict, which was that
’ideceased came to liisdeath from
^ a pistol shot inflicted by himself.
{ with suicidal intent.
«’ Deceased wassittingin achatr
' in front of a small table upon
' which stoqd a lookiug glass. Ou
• the table was a bo’ttle of oil and
{ cloths, and the pistol was greasy,
?' indicating that he had cleaned
, and oiled the weapon just before
| using it with such fatal results.

Manual Diegieza, a Guatemala
lawyer and the revolutionary
canidate put forward by Barillas,
ex-president Of Guatemala, for
the presidency ot the Central
American republic, is said to be
hurrying to San Erancisco from
Southern Mexico to join Barillas
and his party here.
Members of local Guatemala
colony believe that Barillas and
his adherents have decided upou
this city as a rendezvous pen-
ding developments that may
give them an opportunity to fil-
ibuster against Cal vera.
QiTheCall today says that Bar-
illas has announced to several
friends that he will lead a revol-
utionary party against Calvera
and he has simply delayed action
until lie can recuperate his fail-
ing health, which, lie says, is
ouc reason for his coming to
Sau Francisco.
