DIR. LANAHAN REINSTATED.
Concurrent Action of the Bishops.


The concurrence of the bishops in the decision
of the Book Committee, which we published on
Saturday is as follows
To the BOOb Committee Dear Brethren:-We
received your request to be present at this iu-
yestigation of the case of the Rev. DIR. Lanahau
while we were holding our annual session at
Baltimore. We felt very profoundly the gravity
and difficulties of the duty. We therefore APP
pointed a committee of our board to examine the
different enactmeDts of the General Conference
and the present discipline relating TO the subject
We met in Philadelphia two days before you
convened us here TO confer with reference to
our understanding of the law, and as to the
nature and extent OF our responsibilities in the
premises.
The result of these careful deliberations is
embodied in the two papers presented to the
committee. We believe that these papers stated
the constitutional and statute laws of the Church
on the subject and we felt ourselves constrained
TO print them from a clear conviction of duty to
all parties interested in the investigation.
we have been led to make this statement as
our communication is referred to in your final
action.
In the further procedure of your committee,
In the executive session, we had no strictly
official connection; nor in your final action
have we any official authority Yet as YOU
courteously invited us to be present aud
requested our opinions during your delibera-
tions, we deem il to be both respectful and pro-
per TO add the following statement
We are happy to say that we witnessed with
great satisfaction the anxiety and carefulness
with which you considered Sll the delicate aud
perplexipg questions upon which you have been

TIE TRAGEDY.

Everything remained very quiet in the house
until yesterday morning, at 915 O'Clock, when "A
Mrs. Sncoe, who resides next door, and who
was in the second story of her own house,
heard the report of pistol twice, one shot
being fired Immediately after the other. She
did not pay much attention to the noise,
although 1t shook the glass in the windows, but
thought that something had fallen in one of the
lower rooms and did not pay any more atten-
tion TO il. The woman Mary Kidd, who slept
with Mrs. Anderson, heard her get up about
o'clock in the morning, and go down stairs, but
did not hear the shots fired, and only discovered
the tragedy when going down The stairway into
the kitchen, about 10 o'clock, when, seeing
blood upon the floor, without waiting to seek
further, she ran up stairs and awoke the boy,
who came down, and discovering the dead
bodies of his mother and the man upon the
floor, rushed into the yard crying out that his
mother was dead.
A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
The alarm was Immediately given, and the
police officer on the beat, Mr.. j. F. Jones, went
into the house aud found not only the dead
body of the woman lying on the floor of the
kitchen, weltering in blood, but also that of
Nesberg on the opposite side of the room. The
bodies, as they were found, presented q horri-
bic appearance. The woman was lying on her
hack beside the stove, with her hair disheveled
and bullet hole in the right side of her
head Immediately above the ear and
from which the brains we're oozng.
The man was lying on the floor. with
his shoulders propped up against the stairway,
his right hand firmly holding pistol, the vci-
nifty in which he was lying being covered with
blood which came from a wound also in the
right side of his head, near the temple The sup
position is that after he shot the woman he sat
down upon q chair and shot himself, as n chair
stood beside bip, from which it appeared as if
he had fallen. The supposition in regard to the
woman is that she was engaged in cooking at
the time the shot was fred
THE CoRoNER's INQUEST AND VERDICT.
Coroner Spicer was summoned as soon as
possible, and about l o'clock an inquest was
held over the bodies, which were lying just as
they were found.
The jury, without retiring, rendered verdict
that Mrs Anderson came to her death from a
pistol shot in the hands of Peter Nesberg who
shot her in fit of jealousy, and them committed
suicide.

MURDER IN TRENTON.
.lbIe AGair-A Man KlIIed for hi. Money.


On Saturday evening, Asa Downe, stranger
in Trenton, visited number of drinking-saloons
in the southern part of the city, imbibing freely
at each. With him were two companions, who
drank at his expense, but not as deeply as he
did. Their appearance was not remarkable,
and none who saw him had any suspicion that a
horrible tragedy was to terminate their spree
Yesterday morning, at about o'clock, Downe
was found in a dying condition in barn in
Hamilton township, about one mile from the
city. His left hand aud wrist were badly cut
the clutch of fingers on his throat. He was re-
moved to house near at hand, where he lay
groaning and unconscious during the day, until
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he died
The circumstances attending the ease, and par
ticularly the fact that his pockets had been
rihed and were turned inside out, leave no
doubts in the minds of the Trenton officers that
he was murdered for bis money. Coroner Par
sons, with jury viewed the body last evening,
and ordered post mortem examination. The
inquest will be held to-day.

FINANCE AND co muERCE.
EVENING TELEGRAPH OFFICE, (,

Monday Jan. 23, 1871, !
The rough weather to-day and the unsettled
condition of the stock market had a rather de-
pressing effect on loans, and lenders are acting
with unusual caution. The rates on call loans
are frmer, and stock collateaals are taken only
with good margins. The favorite collaterals
are Government bonds, which command excep-
tonaly low figures. The Reading panic on
Saturday has had serious results on the stock
market and some days will elapse before IL
will recover from the shock. We notice q dis
position on the part of the New York press to
accredit the furry to q Philadelphia operator
This is an inexcusabe error, to use no harsher
term The cause of the mischief is now, and
has been for some time past, q regular hdbitue
of Wall street. The discount market continues
dull and steady.
Colds without change or feature. Sales have
ranged up to noon between 110% and 11016,
closing at 11056.
Government Bonds are moving slowly and
prices are fairly maintained at Saturdays quo-
tations.
The Stock market was fairly active and prices
were steady. City 6s, new. sold at 100NOX.
Sales of Lehigh Gold Loan at S775 for the 500s.
Reading Railroad was moderately active, with
free sales at 1875 @49, closing at 40 1-16. Sales
of Pennsylvania at 62; Little Schuylkill at 4394;
Lehigh Valley at CO.'S, and Philadelphia aud
Erie at 27@271S.
In Canal shares the only sale was in Schuyl-
kill at 81.
The balance of the list was quiet. Central
Transportation stock sold at 5015.

Special Despatch 10 The EDenifJ Telegraph
HARRISBURG, Jan. 23.-In accordance with
the act of Assembly of 1869, the opening and
awarding of the bids for the public printing for
the next three years, commencing July l, will
take place in joint convention of Senate and
House tomorrow at noon. Benjamin Slngerly,
ESQ.,, the present contractor, is the only candi-
date that has as yet been publicly announced.
There is quiet movement on foot, from which
it is apparent that there will be other competi-
tors. This movement is inaugurated by the
men who, before the selection of Mr. Singerly,
had had control of all the departments for
furnishing supplies, ETC., to the State. Mr..
Stuart A. Wiley, of the firm of Wiley
& Greitz, of Lancaster, it is now
understood, will put in a proposal for the
public printing. 1t is also rumored that, in case
of the success of Mr.. Singerly, there will be a
great exposition of the workings in that de-
partment during the past three years.

CALIFORNIA.
Census Returns-The Present aud Future of the



The San Francisco Bulletin says:-"The census
returns makes the population of California less
than $50, 600. Probably it is quite 600 000 The
reports of the county assessors to Surveyor
General Bost give the number of registered
voters at nearly 150,0 600. Atthis rate about one
fourth Of our population are voters; but ten per
cent. must be deducted from the registered list
for deaths and removals, leaving 1885, 900 voters
"a larger number of voters than has ever been
actually polled. According to the Surveyor
Generals report for 1870 the taxable values of
the State are $3.50, 40l, S37. This is nearly
SIS, 600 600 less than the real values as returned
by the census agents for San Francisco alone.
AS the proportion of assessed to real values
throughout the State is probably not more than
one-fourth, it is safe to assume that the true
value of property in California is not under
81 600 000, 600. 1t was returned by the census
of 1860 at s2O7, S74, 613. Thus the increase in
the last decade has been nearly hye-fold; yet
within that period occurred destructive floods
and droughts, and a large transfer of population
from our mining counties to other States and
Territories. Now that the railroad era has
begun, that manufactures are increasing, aud
towns multiplying, we anticipate for the coming
decade still greater degree of prosperity than
the above figures suggest"

THE BALTIMORE TRAGEDY.
Particulars of the Recent ShOckInK Murder
Suicide


The Baltimore Sun of Saturday says
1t appears that for the past two years Peter
NesbeIg, formerly seafaring man, but who has
recently been working at his trade of sail
making, has been boarding at Mrs, Mary Anu
Anderson's whenever he was in Baltimore, and
that he has often asked her to marry him, but
she always refused, telling him, as we'll as
other persons, that his only object in want
ing her 10 marry him was to get posses
sion of the house in which she lived, to-
gether with ether property she owned.
About six months since he left the city aud
returned three weeks ago, aud the two seemed
TO get along very well together. On
Wednesday night last Nesberg went out with
Frederick, son of Mrs. Anderson, and both of
them returned home about 10 O'clock, under the
influence of liquor. Nesberg again asked her,
in the presence of Mary Kidd. the occupant
above referred 10, to marry him. Again she
refused, and said she did not want anything
more to do with him, as he had no right to take
the boy out and make him drunk, as his mind
was unsettled enough when he was sober and
that he was perfectly crazy when he was drunk
Both of them were very angry, and he accused
her of caring more for some one else than she

DISTRESSING AFFAIR.
An Aged ard Wealthy Citizen of Richmond
Burne ed to Death


Mr.. William Barrett, an aged end highly re-
spected citizen, says the Richmond Dispatch OF
Saturday, died at his residence, corner of Fifth
and Cary streets, yesterday under most dis
tressing circumstances. 1t was about IL o'clock.
He had just finished breakfast. The colored
man.servant, Wilson, went to another part OF
the chamber to put away the dishes, ana Mr.,
Barrett took piece of paper and went to the
CRATE to light his pipe. Wilson, turning around
moment after, saw the old gentleman standing
wranner on fire He was trying in a feeble way
to Smother the blaze, but the material of which
the wrapper was made being light and wadded
with cotton, almost lnsIahtaheously ne was en-
inflrIp, stood for a moment panic-struck, a2d
then dragged his master out of the room into
The passage. lie then ran back to get blan-
ket which he threw over him; but by this time
nearly every rag of clothes upon his body had
been burned, and he was not only scOrched all
over but had inhaled the fames. DIS. Gun

SAN FRANCISCO, Jau. 2l.--It is asserted that
the Central Pacific Railroad Company has placed
on record a mortgage for ten million dollars,

now before Congress. On the other hand, card

after having listened to the discussions, and
