THE PUMPHREY MURDER-RepOrte} .N.3g
DereiOI7aclES.--On the morning Of August 5:n
last, a young man, the son of Rector Pun
phrey, esq, a Justice of the peace and one Of
the most prominent residents Of Prince
Georges county, Nd, was found lying in a
field of Mr.. Humphreys farm, about two and
half miles from Upper Marlboro, in a
dying condition. He was removed 10 his
fathers house, where he soon died, but was
unable TO speak word after he received the
injuries from which he died. His skull was
found to be fractured and his collar bone
broken. II was generally thought that me
had been kicked by horse which ne was ell
deayOriDg to catch in an open field. There
were some suspicious circumstances CON
nccted with the death, and a jury OF the most
intelligent citizens of Upper Marlboro was
summoned by magistrate acting as cOrO-
ner. After devoting several hours to the
case they returned verdict that the young
man had been murdered, but they implicated
10 one in their verict. Suspicion rested on
colored man, but from some unaccOunta-
BILE reason the matter was allowed to die
away out OF existence. There was at that
time no positive evidence against any one.
Thus the case rested, notwithstanding a re-
ward ot 500 was Offered for evidence against
on information that would lead to the con-
VlctiOn of the murderer. During the last few
weeks the case has been gain called TO mind
by what Is alleged TO benew discoveries that
seem to implicate another person. White
man, VINO at the time of the murder was not
even suspected. The character OF the newly
discovered evidence is not positively known,
but IL Is said that the sheriff of the county,
who resides near BladenSburg. has been
quietly investigating the case ever since
and that he has received information that
SATISFIES him that the murder is the result Of
conspiracy. 1t is also thought that the
mattei Will now be thoroughly investigated
by the grand jury of the county, the effect OF
winch, at least, even il It does not result in
the discovery OF the murderer or conspiracy,
VIII set at rest many rumOrS which have
gained credence since the murder occurred

MR.. GLENDENNING AND THE PRESBY-

Prospect Avenue Church i'll Jersey City, OF
which Rev. John 5. Glendenning was and
still claims 10 be the pastor, although his
pastoral relations were recently severed by
resolution of the PresbyteTy. 1t will be re-
membered that after the Presbytery pro-
nOunced sentence upon Mr.. Glendenning, the
moderator, to whom was assigned the task
OF announcing the sentence to the members
of the church, failed o. refused to perform
that duty. At subsequent session of the
Presbytery the mOderatQr's action was Sc
yerely commented upon. and committee
appointed to accomplish the duty he had
failed to perform. Since that time the COM
mlttee had made several attempts to carry
out the instructions of the Presbytery, but
nave met with persistent opposition on the
part OF the trustees and one OF the elders OF
the church. Mr.. Dunn. The remaining elder,
Mr Howell, insists that the judgment OF the
Presbylery should be carried out, and that it
rs Dlndlng to such a degree that Mr.. Glen
denning's pastoral relations have been dis
solved. The committee have held two meet
lngs, both OF which were strictly private and
exceedingly stormy, but no definite conclu-
sion was arrived at, and the sentence still
remains unannOunced. No meeting of tha
sessions OF the church can be held for The
reason that Elder Howell refuses to recognizes
Mr. Giendennin2 as nloderator.-N Y. Time.
