MONDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The select committee appointed to
investigate the charges against the
Rev. l.. G. Andrew, of Mt. Lebanon,
reported that they had unanimously |
acquitted the accused; that there was
no cause for action against him, and |
that he deserved the sympathy of all |
for the damage done his character.
The action by which the character of |
the Rev, James COnnOr, of Parsons
burg, Md, was passed at the opening
session of the conference was reconsid

of funds were preferred against him.
A special committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed to examine into the matter.

w. J. O'Neill, of Princess Anne, for
defamation of character, falsehOOd and

occupied the rest of the morning and
afternoon. A resolution was adopted
generating the reverend gentleman
! from all malice or intent in the various
matters charged against him almost
