TROUBLE WITH PRIEsT-The Martinsburg
(Va) American gives long account of the arrest
of Catholic priest in that city, who was held to
keep the peace. 1t is alleged that by his conduct
he had become so obnoxious to the more respect
able portion of his congregation that they locked
up the church, of which he had but lately been
appointed pastor. This offended the priest, who,
it is alleged, made such threats against his oppo-
nents that they had him arrested AT this his
friends became indignant, and made demonstra-
ton that came near leading to a riot Ten OF
them, however, we're arrested, and the rest quietly
dispersed. Such is the substance of the account
| given by the Martnsburg paper.
As sequel to the above, we copy the following
from the Frederick Examiner of yesterday:
A person representing himself to be the Rev.
VIM. Kinney, Roman Catholic priest at Martins
burg, Virginia, was committed to Jail yesterday in
this city, together with man named Patrick To-
pan under the following suspicious circumstances:
The accused had called at the jewelry establish
ment OF Messrs. A. & G. H. 0. Fox, and offered
for sale silver and gold plated chalice for sum
so insignificant as to create suspicion of its being
stolen, and caused their arrest. They were prompt
ly taken into custody by police officer p J. Haw-
man, and upon examination before Justice Hard
ing, it appeared by telegraphc despatch from Mar
tinsburg that the chalice and other articles were
taken away from the church and the priest gone
but the Roman Catholic priests of this city not be.
ing able to identify the one called Kinney and un-
willing to hold any communication with him, he
and his alleged. confederate were committed on
suspicion of having stolen the articles. Their car
pet bags were afterwards examined and found to
contain gold plated heart, containing an apart
ment with a lid for the consecTated wafer, small
golden plate to receive the wafer, sundry sacerdo
tai vestments, missals, small dark lantern, da-
guerreoypes of women, &c. 1t is proper to state
that Kinney persists he is the priest as represent
cd, and that the articles belong to him. There is
some mystery about the matter which a day or two
may clear up.
