A dtpatch whs received here this

to be a canard We had an interview
with the Senator from Mitchell to

citizens of that county and that he
knew of no such persons as those re
ported to have been k'i'led He said

A, Fraud.
A press dispatc last night gave. the
following acoomt'of a fraud practic
al upon Rev Dr L L Nash, of Wil
mington, former pis tor of the Cen
tral M. E v'bureh of this city :
A stranger representing himself as
Dr W. H Ellison, of Washington
oity, and executor of the estate of
Mrs Eliza Ward la w, ' called on the
Rev Dr. Nash, pastor of the Fifth
Street Methodist church, last Mon
day and informed him that Mrs.
Wardlaw had in her will left that
church $500, and he wished to draw a
sight draft on Drexel & Qo. of Phila
delphia, in faver of Dr. Nash for that
amount, which was done. He added
that the costs in court when the will
is probated would amount to $6,15, in
connection .with the draft which
amount Dr Nash gave him The
stranger so captivated the pastor by
his pleasant address and oily tongue
that he was invited to supper at the
parsonage where he entertained the
family with stirring incidents ' of the
late war, It has just transpired that
the seductive Btranger is a fraud and
that he has been playing the same
game at other po'nts There is no
trace of him thus far.
Ia his annual report the inspector
general recommends that the four
regiments of the state guard be con
solidated into three, and that en-
I campments be hereafter by regiments
