FROM COAST TO COAST. Greatest Known Walking Feat Com pleted Monday by Aged Pedestrian. New York, May 2.-Cutting his way through a living mass of twenty thou sand cheering people, his white locks bared to the breeze and his shuffling feet keeping time to the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner," Edward Pay son Weston today brought to a trium phant end his ocean-to-ocean walk. He ascended the steps of the city hall at 3.10 p. m., completing the trans continental journey of 3,483 miles in seventy-seven walking days, a feat 'without parallel in the annals of ped estrianism. The grizzled athiete was welcomed to his home city by Mayor Gaynor, who presented him with a purse of $400, hurriedly raised by a handful of his admirers in the last hours of his spectacular walk. This and the ad miration and applause of the thous ands who have followed his tramp since the day of its inception, at Los Angeles on February 1 last, is all the reward that comes to the intrepid - septuagenarian, after his two months' and more of t .dging through heat and cold across the continent Ovation for Aged Pedestrian. In the last stages of his walk from Yonkers, where he spent Sunday, Into New York, Weston was the object of an ovation such as has rarely been accorded to any individual short of a victorious admiral or the colonel of a rough riders' regiment. From 72nd street down Broadway, from curb to curb, was black with moving thous ands, intent upon keeping sight of the' white-haired little man ambling along in his peculiar jerky gait. As Weston finally turned into City Hall park, black with thousands, he was visibly moved, and it was with difficulty that he found voice to thank the mayor for his words of greeting. "I wanted to show the youngsters what an old'athlete of 72 years could do," he said. Then, from the steps of the city hall, he thanked the crowd for its welcome, and expressed him self well repaid by their cheers for all his exertions. Mayor's Welcome and Invitation. Later, in the mayor's private office, he was presented with a gold cham pionship belt by President P. T. Pow ers, of the Eastern Baseball-league. It is the famous six-day go-as-you-please championship belt, won by. Dineen and Cavanaugh in la0O2 and 1903, re spectively. In welcoming Weston, Mayor Gay nor said: "Mr. Weston, I am very happy to welcome you here an(l to express ap preciation for what you have done. The people ought to do, like you, and * live as much as possible in the open air. If they did many of them would~ live to be 100 years old." With the speech over, his honor and Weston had a cup of tea together in the mayor's office, and the mayor, who is an ardent walker, extended an in -vitation for Weston to visit his coun try place on Long Island. .GOY.

Former Attorney General and Prom inent Lawyer Passes Away at His Home in Columbia. Columbia, May 4.-The Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger, formerly attorney general of the State, died at 9.30 o'clock tonight at his home in Shan don, a suburb of Columbia. Gen.

However, last Sunday he was taken suddenly ill and his re covery was despaired of. Showing a slight improvement today, his condi tion became grave late this afternoon and tonight the end came. Chronic dysentery and liver trouble was the cause of his death. Gen. Bellinger first came into prom inence when as solicitor he prosecut ed the famous Broxton Bridge cases in Colleton county.

Bellinger was a member of the distinguished family of Bel lingers in lower South Carolina, hav ing been born in Barnwell. Not only as a prosecuting officer was he re nowned in South Carolina but his de fence in big cases will ever be re membered by those whose pleasure it was to hear him. Notable among recent cases in which he appeared as defendants' at torneys are the Seminole trials, the dispensary trials and other big cases. In the famous Southern merger suit, the preliminary of which were tried here in 1907 before Judge Klugh and a postponement had Gen. Bellinger was associated with Attorney General Lyon-.for the State. Recently on account partly of the absence of Gen. Bellinger in Florida the alleged graft cases at Chester were monuments of his legal talent af Bellinger appeared frequently, a sen sational trial recalled being that of Samuel Owens, for whom Gen. Bel linger was counsel. Gen. ,Bellinger is survived by his wife, who was Miss O'Bannan, of Barnwell, and the following children: G. Duncan Bellinger, Jr., Misses Sophie, Anne, Norman and Harry Bel linger. The burial will take place at the old home in Barnwell.
