ACoLoRADo TRAGEDY.
The 5aurder of Mr.. Thomas A. Greatorex,
81 Former Resident of Washington.

Many now here will remember the
bright, dashing lad, Thomas A. Greatorez, who,
about 1854, entered the service of the Government
as messenger in the Note Division Office of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and who, few days
after his appointment, having obtained permission
to see United States notes destroyed, discovered
the witness for the Treasurer, - Cornwell, slip
some half notes in his coat pocket instead of
throwing them in the furnace, and reporting this
to the chief of the division. was brought before
General Spinner, where he stoutly affirmed the
truth Of whathe had seen. Means at once taken
to detect Cornwel, and the result was confession
and trial and the return of some thirty
thousand dollars to the Treasury. Young Great
orex was afterward promoted to a clerkship.
He was born in New York, and was the son OF the
celebrated organist, H. W. Greatorex, and Eliza
Greatorex, the artist His father died in Charles
ton, s. c.. while he was child. Ills mother and
sisters are now in AlgicrS. As near as the facts
can now be ascertained, young Greatorex had
gone from his home in Siiyerton, Col, to Durango
and while there, in protecting woman from the
assaults of ruffian, was knocked down and shot
on the 9th instant; he died on the 10th. He was
greatly beloved, and hsd host of friends in the
State he had chosen for permanent home. The
citizens Of Silverton offered reward of $500 for the
capture of the murderer, and telegram in Sun
days papers tells that he had been caught and
lynChed.

RYLAND'S TROUBLES.
The Situation of Affairs as Defined b! n
Member of the Congregation.


In investigating the status of the
trouble in Ryland Church last night representa-
tive of THE REPUBLICAN called upon prominent
member fthat congregation and asked whether
there had been any change in the aspect of affairs
The reply was that nothing had yet been done in
the premises. This gentleman further said that
before the meeting the conference the members
of the church had been called together and
committee appointed to wait upon the presiding
elder aud request that such action be taken
by him il the conference as would prevent any
minister then located in Washington being as
signed to Ryland Church. This was done to pre-
vent the assignment of either ministers then
here to Ryland Church, and while, from feeling
of delicacv, names were mentioned from private
conversations with the members of the committee
the presiding elder was fully aware of
the parties alluded TO. 1t was further
stated that, in view OF the fact that one
of these very preachers had been selected
for Ryland Church from q number of over two
hundred the congregation naturally felt that the
assignment of DR.. Deale was in the nature of dis
ciplining them for having ventured to express
views OIL the subject, The gentleman also said
that he regarded DR.. Brown as entirely to blame
for the whole Of this unpleasant episode; that the
indications were at one time that at least two
thirds of the congregation would Withdraw
from the church and secure hall or some
other convenient place in which divine services
could be held; that no blamed Dr. Deale for
his action, as, under the circumstances, he could
not do less than assume the duties at Ryland
Church under the behestS Of the conference.
In reply to question to what ac-
ton, if any. would probably be adopted
IN the future this gentleman said the adysability
of urging q new selection for their church
had been fully discussed, and an effort would
probably be made TO secure the assignment of
Rev. L. Ii. PeaTce, ofAlexandria, TO Ryland Church.
in which event it would be necessary for the
Bishop to make other arrangements for DR.. Deale
Rev. Mr. Gardiner moved out of the Ryland Church
parsonage yesterday, but for some cause DIR. Deale
has not yet taken Possession of the house.

John q. Coughs Lecture.

Lincoln Hall was fairly filled last even
ing 10 listen to the eminent lecturer, Mr. John b.
Cough. His subject was Twenty Years After"
1t was temperance lecture of the fullest charae-
ter and consisted principally of anecdotes of incl
dents occurring in his long experience, and they
were all told in his own inimitable manner which
never fails to completely capture the attention aud
sympathy Of the audience. He illustrated with
graphic force the various phases of intcmperance
showing the humorous side OF intoxication, when
the subject becomes foolish and silly aud then the
sad and tragic incidents when strong drink
has made brute of ne who was once a
man. His audience listened with rap.
attention, and the applause was frequent and
emphatic 1t is to be hoped that this lecture may
have the effect Diminishing new yigor into our tenn
perance people, many Of whom were noticed in
the hall last night, for there is an excellent field
for their labor right here in this Capital City.

sariy severe. 1t is stated that he has been denied

legal counsel. His long confinement is q matter
which has been discussed by persons verSed in

tradic:ion Of the spirit and letter of the SEVENTEEN
article ofwar is expressed. II is said that there
viii be more in this case than appears upon the
