The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-05-25


Rev. DR.. Mullally arose to a question of
privilege, and desired to make personal ex-
planation, as due to himself, regarding the
word bitterly as used by the newspaper cor
respondent in connection with his remarks on
Friday last. He disclaimed the slightest drop.
the slightest tncture Of any bitterness toward
the Northern brethren and was only moved, in
all he said, by love TO the brethren of the South
ern Church, and toward the brethren in the
NORTH DR.. Mutually made most felcitous
address producing very happy impression
upon the Assembly, and he distinctly protested
that his heart was only filled with love toward
all men.
Rev. s. Taylor Martin now took the floor in
support of the minority report on Retrenchment
and Reform. Ho contended that large
majority of the Presbyteries were heartily
IN favor Of some readjustment Of our schemes Of
Benevolence. The.speaker was constantly re-
minded that he was in the minoritv-an insio
Dificant minority-but he was not at all alarmed
by such position, for he was born in the
minority, brought up in the minority, fought
IN the minority In behalf of his country, and
felt that, sometimes, it was an honor to be in
the minority. He further cited many Scriptural

Murder, chase and Capture.

At few minutes before ~ o'clock Satur.
day night the residents Of Pine brook, a
suburb of Scranton, were startled by the
loud report of revolver in saloon kept
by William Burke. A moment after num-
ber Of men emerged from the place, and it
was learned that Burke, who is better known
throughout the city as Billy Burke, had shot
Pat Payton, a man about fifty years OF age.
Burke, Payton and number OF others were
drinking together, when the talk turned up
on politics, aud Burke declared that Patrick
McGee candidate for Constable in the
Seventh ward of Scranton, couldn't read or
write. Payton claimed that he could and
hot words passed between them, and Pay
ton was heard to say, "Don't damn my soul,
Billy l wouldn't allow it if you were five
times better man than am" Burke drew
a revolver and Payton said, 81 don't care
for your revolver; shoot away" They stood
a few feet apart and Burke Immediately shot
Payton, the ball entering his left side. Pay
ton fell to the floor aud exclaimed, "He has
oiue hhV' hul nc deh llo'h biO hNu9S' AhS
police were soon communicated with and a
detail was on hand. All houses where Burke
was known to be in the habit of visiting
were searched but no track Of him was found.
Then the officers discovered mans tracks
in the snow that had just fallen They were
evidently made by person who had been
running. A carriage was secured ana three
officers followed the tracks to 0lyphant, a
village about six miles from Scranton, They
led to the house of Thomas Burke, a friend
of the culprit. 1t was then o'clock in the
morning. The officers surrounded the place
and ordered Burke TO come out. He ap-
peared in few moments. He drew his re-
volver and a slight scufile ensued between
him and the officers, but he was quickly
sienced and returned quietly to Scranton.
His victim fingered until IL O'Clock Sunday
when be expired. His dying declaration
was that Burke had shot him. Burke was
committed to the County Prison. He is a
desperate character and was terror 10 his
neighborhood for many years. He is about
80 years Of age.

crease our product beyond 10000 tons a
year, when coal is in steady demand at re-
munerntive prices We can, at moderate
cost, open large amount Of red ash coal,
and, as the supply Of such coal is hardly
equal TO the demand, It may be expedient
10 commence preparations for a rolliery on
that vein at an enrly day. We have on the
Greenwood property an immense deposit Of
both red and white ash coal Of the very best
quality, and we shall probably during this
year expend q moderate sum of money in
preparing for largo colliery there. As II
is a work Of two or three years to put large
colliery in operation, and the expenditure
during the first year is but small part Of
the total cost, IL would be wise to commence
operation as soon as tho prosperity of the
coal trade is fully assured.
Mr.. j. s. Harris was relieved on Sept 1st,
at his own request, from the active manage
ment OF our coal mines, in order 10 accept
the position of General Manager of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey, and was sue.
ceeded by his assistant, Mr.. W. D. Zehner.
Mr.. Harris remains in our service as Con-
sulting Engineer.
The second instalment Of our extended
debenture loan matured on the 10th Of De-
cember, and was promptly paid. The amount
outstanding, is now S2l2,Ssl 81, maturing
one half each in 1881 and 1882.
The floating debt, less cash assets, wa S
about $500, 1000 at the close Of the year. This
includes the cost Of Delaware Division bonds
purchased during the passed year by agree
ment with that Company, and Of which we
now hold S3O6,0OO, bearing six per cent. in
terest. The Company also owns $4,000
Of its seven per cent. consolidated bonds, and
$4,000 shares of its own stock
By order Of the Board Of Managers.

The passage Of words between the haughty
Senator Of New York and Butler, Of South
Carolina, has as yet resulted in no bloodshed
defeated at Chicago he sulked for while,
and then, after weeks Of preparation, ap.
penred before q New York audience, making
an unwarranied and ungentlemanly attack
upon the South, which received the honest
condemnation Of all who believed the war
ended. If ever there was an overrated ora

coward, he would have replied TO Senator

Grant thinks--well what is the use of quot
ing IL.
The election here, as yet is not decided,
we believe, but enough is known, we think,
to say that Democratic Judge, Constable,
Assessor in Registry, and perhaps Supervis-
or, are elected hereafter the Democrats will
nominate a straight ticket and the Republi-
cans likewise. 1t will be relief to the cleo
ton board, and a great deal more satislac-
tory TO the voter. We believe in drawing
party lines openly, nominating good men
and then supporting them. Compromises,
conditions, NC, are bad, especially when
done in the interest Of selfish men. So styled
