Dr. Elhson for his well as for the substantial help he brought us. He is an unusually interest ing gentleman. The Lord is coming to our in onrinnrhonrt Is full of eratitude to Him. May He move others to help until this church is relieved of debt. Djctors are supposed to leaveafel low"feeline better'but it turns out this "doctor" liaa left Dr. Nash feeling bad. Wa are Sorrv he; pulled the wool over the eves of the able pastor of Eifthi Street church, but we are glad the fraud didn't siz? him up for a larger amniint. k i r ' ; that a similar fraud has been practlctd in other places in the State. Dr. Nash came to the conclusion that he also was the victim of a fraud. ft t.niia tin that "Dr." Ellison, claim ing to be a doctor of medicine from Washinfrtnn. t. C. attended' services at Fifth Street church on Sunday night and called on him on Monday. Elli- ann rAnraented himself a3 one of the executors of Mrs. WardlQw'a will, and turned over to Dr. Nash a draft on Drexsl Co.. ! Philadelphia, for $500 drawn by somebody elee in his (Elli, Bon'sl favor. Ellison endorsed it to Dr, Nash and Dr. Nash placsd It in the Atlnntin National bank of this city for collection. When Dr. Nash found out. however, that be had been swindled he teleeraDhed to the Drexels at rhiia dlnhia. to i waive i protest on the draft. ' i ! Before turning1 over the draft to Dr Nash. Ellison collected lrom him'6.15, which he said was the portion of Fifth; Street church in the! fees necessary to settle up the will of Mrs. Wardiow. While transacting this "business" Dr. Ellison made himself miehtv nice and was so agreeable that he was Invited and accented -an invitation from Dr. Nash to take tea with him on Monday night. His manner was 60 beguiling that he eaeilv won the confidence of Dr Nash, and the clever rascal ingra tiated himself into Dr. Nash's confi dence by: sayine that he was at .the battle of Gettysburg -and saw Gen.' W D. Pender when he was killed, relating the circumstance so plainly as to creata no manner of dojbtthal he was really there and saw the distinguished North Carolina soldier fall in battle. It so happened, that GenL Pender was an uncle of Mrs. Nash and Ellison in his narrative detailed facts that are well known to Dr. Nash's family. . Dr. Ellison had toll Dr. Nash that he was stopping at Bonitz's Hotel, and upon learning that the man was. prob ably a . fraud, he went to the Bonitz House yesterday to investigate. He ascertained that no such man had stop ped there, but aj man answering that description had taken dinner there on Sunday with the Rey. J)r. F. W. E. Peschau, pastor of St. Pauls' Lutheran church; The man who took dinner with Dr. Peschau had called at his residence and introduced himself as Jno. M. Hartman, of Gettysburg, Pa. Mr. Bonitz tells us that Hartman told him he had been to Halifax, and there is no doubt that he is the same man who took in the Catholic lady at d got next to Dr. Nash under the name of Dr. Ellison. . j '" Oa looking back over the register at the Purcell we find that "Jho. M. Hartman, Gettysburg, Pa.,' was regis, tered thereon last Saturday. A re porter called at Dr. Peschau's resi dence fast night,: but Dr.j Peschau was out of the city. It could; therefore, not be ascertained, whether any at tempt had been made to take him in or not.
