Reported Espocially for the Baltimoreaa.
t
The recent International: Sunday School
Convention held in the: audience room of
the Masonic Temple in this city, attracted
to Baltimore a large number of Christian
people. " A very large element io the mass
consisted of gentlemen Who were memlx ri
of the clergy gentlemen regarded the
holiest among the holy,' and men in whom
there was no guile.': However, appearances
are not unfrequently deceptive, and so it
happened in this case. - Among the clerical
gentlemen was one of a . peculiarly sancti
fied look, with an immaculate white tie and
a shiny, sleek looking suit of black. He
claimed to be from Texas, and at the Con
vention he gave the name of W. E, Cope
land. ' It was so recorded and so published
in all the dailies of Wednesday, May 12th.
But this reverend gentleman had several
aliases, for his ways were dark and -his
tricks were base, and he desired to sail under
false colors, that he might the more success
fully accomplish his wicked designs.
' On the 1st of May be reached Baltimore
at Barnum's hotel, writing the name of W.
E. Copeland, Massachusetts. While at Bar
num's be placed himself under the manipula
tions of a killfnl barber; and was effectual
ly denuded of a long, flowing, black beard.
He remained under this spacious roof of
this hotel but three or four days when he
remarked to the clerk that he would like to
leave, but that a Committee of the Young
Men 8 Christian Association wouta seine nis
bill. Havinethe appearance ofa gentle
man and wearing the garb: of a soldier of
the Cross, his word was regarded, as trutu-
f ul, and he was allowed to depart.
We next find the reverend gentleman
registering at the Carrollton Hotel, but this
time accompanied by a very handsome
young woman, who was very handsomely
dressed, and who he claimed was uie wite
of his bosom, and the partner of his joys
and sorrows. He wrote upon the register .
in his usual bold, symmetrical hand, Geo.
Warren and wife. Boston; Mass." '1 be sup
posed married couple were at once assigned
to an eligible room, and remained for a
couple of days; "Si ' ' . '
The second day alter registering at me
Carrollton, . the reverend Copeland alias
Warren, reported that his wile would leave
the hotel that af ternoonj and that he would
not return, but that Mrs. Warren would
settle. A , carriage was procured in the
afternoon, and Mrs. Warren departed, but
failed to pay tne little Din aue oy uer rev
erend husband and self. , She promised,
however, that she would doj so upon reach
ing her destination, whicn proved io oe
Hollins street. nearPoppleton. Upon reach
ing her home, the young lady darted into
the dwelling, and refused to answer the ring
of the door bell, despite; the vigorous pulls
of the Jehu who had driven ner limner. :
The driver had no recourse but to return
to the Carrollton and report the hotel's and
his own loss, for that the whole affair had
now assumed the proportions ol anrst class
swindle was too apparent, to say nothing of
the imposition which had enabled the alleged
clerical scoundrel to palm upon the hotel an
unmarried woman as his wife, and to occupy
the same apartments for nearly two days. ,
The chief clerk of tne uarrouton received
the unpleasant tidings with feelings of mia
gled anger and indignation, and deter
mined, if possible, to ferret out the lev
ered imposter. - lie directed we driver io
troceed instantly to the f dwelling on Hol
ins street, and here he .succeeded in pro
curing an interview with the blushing Mrs.
Warren, but Mrs. ior a aav ana a mgm
only. She said she met the reverend indl-
. - . .1 JS i .
vidual at an an ganery ;ior. uie nrst nine.
He was of extremely pleasant address, and
introduced himself by asking her it she
was an artist. After a Jong conversation,
durinsr which he was ! extremely compli
mentary and insinuating, she consented to
become his wife, and agreed, to go with
him to the hotel, preliminary to- the cele
bration of the nuptials, i With first one ex
cuse and then another, be deferred the mar
riage, but promised to act an honorable
part, and having placed herself in his toils,
she saw no other alternative but submis
sion. On the second day she was informed
that the nuptials would .not be celebrated
at the hotel, but must take place at her
residence, promising to meet her there at a
certain hour. ... . : '
Horrible to tell, he had not only basely
deceived her in other respects' but had
cruelly deserted her and left the board bill
- ... ..- m l
at tne Uarrouton unpaia. one never iaiu
eves upon him after he left her at the hotel.
The vounir eirl seemed to feel very keenly
her disgrace and' her loneliness, and wept
bitter, scalding tears of; regret; Her in
veiglement was all attributed to the smooth,
oilv ton&rue of the reverend ScoundroL and
she felt that it would prove to her a life-long
lesson. . ,y, .i;. ift ' v. :I ' :
It has been ascertained since his depar
ture, that the iRev. Copeland, from Texas,

came very near being caught hi a l e soon
after the opening of the Sunday Seliool Con
vention. A postal card came to nana wuicu

that he was from Raleigh, N. C, or some
where in that vicinity.; , . , '. , ,

, The self 'assumed clerical individual is
described as being a man of fine personal
appearance, quite robust, and will probably
weigh 175 or 180 pounds."' His hair was
dense, and grew in a style best described
as busby, while his apparel was genteel and

A little son of Mr. J. H. Allen, aged

on the street in front of Mr. Allen's resi

the little boy was unconcernedly playing
upon the street when two ferocious dogs
belonging to a neighbor rao across the
street and savagely attacked him, biting
him seriously about the head and body,
and would have done him further damage
but for the fortunate circumstance of a per

put him inside of an adjoining! enclosure.
