A Great wesleyan Preacher.

Rev. William Morley Punshon, who
died in England last Thursday, was born
in Doncaster in the year 1924. His father
was Il draper, in moderate circumstances.
He received fair education and was
barely in his teens when he entered the
employ Of his grandfather, who was Il
timber merchant. The youth became
member of the Wesleyan Methodist
Church. In 1910, when sixteen years of
age, he was engaged as local preacher
at Sunderland. His youthful appearance
and great natural eloquence attracted
attention, and his friends urged him to
attend the Wesleyan College and obtain
the theological education that would
enable him to enter the regular ministry.
He did so, and his first pastoral charge
was over a church at Marden, Kent, i'll
1915, when he was 81 years old. His
fame continued to increase, and before he
had reached his Both year he was one Of
the best known clergymen in Europe or
America. Oh 1865 he visited Canada.
About this time he married his deceased
wife's sister, an act which was strongly
disapproved of by the Wesleyan Church,
He was, in fact, censured by the confer
ence. While in America he was five
times President of the Canadian Confer
cnce. He returned to England in 1873.
Rev. Mr.. Punshon was the author of a
volume of poetry and of " Lectures on
John Bunyan,n which were widely
read.

Miss Murray's suit for Damages.

BALTIMORE, April 13.-In the trial of
the suit of Miss Mary A. Murray against
Postmaster Tyler for $50, 900 damages, in
the Howard County Court, to-day, the
Judges, in passing upon the prayers of
the parties, decided that the Postmaster
Of Baltimore must of necessity have a
business residence in this city, and was,
therefore. liable to he sued in Il city
court. The jury, therefore, must give
the plaintiff damages, ii only nominal, as
the defendant, resting his case on the
plea OF non-residence, made no answer to
the plaintiffs bill of charges. Arguments
OF counsel occupied the entire day, and
would have been completed had it not
been for the illness of juryman, which
made necessary an early adjournment of
the court. The cases will probably go to
the Jury to-day. Gen. 1yler's only hope
Of escape now is disagreement of the
jury or a verdict of nominal damages ON
technicality. The attorneys tor the
plaintiff are confident that Miss Murray
will receive heavy damages.

At Key West, Fla, August II,
George Ambrose, a waiter in a bar

Present and Promised Develop
ment Of Southern Resources.

New Orleans Democratic
The telegraph announced yesterday
the organization Of the Sewanee Coal
Company of Tennessee, by a number
of leading railroad men and capitalists
of Tennessee and New York. This is
the third company Of this kind that
has been organized in the past three
months TO work the Southern coal and
iron fields, the others being the Bir-
mingham Coal, Coke and Iron Com
pany. of Alabama, aud the Rising
Fawn Company, Of Georgia. All the
enterprises have a large capital to back
them. the Sewanee having $225,OOO,
the Rising Fawn $255,OOO. Besides
these, another corporation, the Beth
lehem Steel Works, of Pennsylvania,
proposes to invest 100000 at Biz
mingham, in works for the manutac-
ture of Bessemer steel.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
Southern coal and iron fields have q
rich promise before them, thanks to
the development that Northern capital
will bring about. 1t is not to be
wondered at that this capital seeks
investments in Alabama and other
Southern States, for while many Of the
Northern furnaces are closed, because
it is no longer profitable to make iron
in them, the Birmingham foundries
estimate their net earnings on pig iron
from Sc to So per ton. The result IS a
very rapid development of Alabama's
iron manufactures. In the past
nine years that State has increased
her production Of pig iron from l2.OOO
to 65, 1000 tons. Her coal production
has increased during the same time
from 1l,0O0 to 100000 tons. But q
few years ago, Alabama coal was
nearly unknown. Now the State is
not only supplying the local demand,
but coal is being exported to neigh
boring States. New Orleans expects
to share some of the advantages Of the
development of Alabama's iron and
coal industries. The town Of Bir-
mingham, in the very center Of "the
black country is only 300 miles dis
tant from this city, aud the compile
ton of the New Orleans & Northeast
ern road will give us an almost bee.
line railroad there. When this road
is completed, we may expect to gel

duct costs far less than that brought
with difficulty from far distant Pitts
burg. We will, moreover, be in con.

the river is too low to let the flee
