The Case of Rev. w. e. Evans.
fRY REouRsr.1

By REQUEST.
We, the undersigned, Elders of the Welsh
Christian Church, south, Ebeusburg, Cam
Sria CO., Pa, to whom was entrusted the
investigation of the sad affair connected
with Elder W. E. Evans, are now prepared to
announce to the world the result of our
Investigations. The committee spared nei-
ther time nor labor in order 10 find out all
the facts touching the matter, and have
learned independent of the womans confess
sion of having administered poison TO her
husband at four different times, and of her
having surrendered the remainder of the
poison in her possession that all the state
ments made by Evans III the case are true,
and are fully established by many credible
witnesses, so that there is no room for the
least doubt to linger in the minds of those
who are acquainted with the affair, with re-
gard to the guilt Of the woman In the
opinion of the committee, Evans is not only
exonerated from blame, but is entitled to our
highest regard and esteem for such an exalted
exhibition offorbearalce and christian spirit
The church at this place, in harmony with
the church at Diamondyille, Indiana CO.,
hold themselves responsible for recommen-
ding our beloved brother to the confidence
and support of the brethren abroad, as an
able and faithful minister of the Gospel

The Christian Congreg alton of Diamond
vile, Indiana county, Pa, to the brethren
scattered abroad, send greeting:
This is to certify that we believe our be-
loved brother, VIM. E. Evans, is a man of
truth and honesty, and that his character,
walk and conversation comport with his
christian profession, and after having passed
through at1ictIon's furnace, exhibits a spirit
of foI bearance, of love, joy, peace, gentleness,
goodness, &c, and we feel ourselves willing
to be responsible for commencing him TO the
confidence of the brethren abroad.
Written and adopted by unanimous voice
of the church-one member only being absent
from home. JAMES DAVIS, plao

DIAMoEBvILLE, Pa.
Bro. f. E. REEs: I am willing to state for
the benefit of those whom it may concern
that have perfect knowledge of all that
transpired during brother Evans troubles.
L was one of those that helped to bring Mrs.
Evans. She partly confessed TO me on the
road, as we brought her. l was pre- sent at
the church meeting whe brother Evans
gave in his testimony. l was acquainted
with what transpired when the doctors were
called in, as he lay under my roof and in the
care of my family, and tree to state that
| think him a just man, and one that fears
God, and as useful minister of the Gospel
should be kept il the field.
Your brother in Christ

The LATE SToRM.--The hurricane
blasts of The late storm had the effect of OBJ
structing the tracks of the Penna. railroad,
along the Conemaugh Slackwater, some
distance west of Johnstown. At this
point, for the distance of about two miles,
the snow drifted upon the track very
rapidly, and a force of some two hundred
men was necessary TO keep it clear. The
wind was so strong that the snow accu-
mulated on the track at the rate of about
one foot per hour, although very little
snow was falling from the clouds, the
greater portion being carried from the
high ground adjacent This space of two
milcs had to be cleared off, it's whole
length, no less than three times Oh Satur-
day, to allow the passage of trains. After
the wind fell, the obstruction ceased, and
the men returned to this city. The pres
ent winter has been very severe OK the
railroads, involving very Considerable
outlays for the removal of snow and ice,
and the repairing Of wrecks, ETC., caused
by snow block AIDES. Notwithstanding
these drawbacks and disadvantages, the
trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
especially those carrying passengers, have
been run with great regularity, and with
extraordinary immunity from fatal acci-
dents. Pitts. ChroR.
