THE NANCE COUNTY TRAGEDY

SHERIFF 2rBBELL REPLIES TO THE VARIOUS RE.
ELECTIONS UPON HIM RECENTLY PUBLISHED
SOME INTERESTING STATEMENTS.
Special Correspondence of THE BEE.
FULLERTON, November 7.-On reaching
home from my recent trip TO Missouri in ans
wer to information that prompted strongly TO
the supposition that Geo. Furnival was at
Springfield in that state, / found that the
Omaha Bee and the st. Louis Globe Demo.
crat, have published certain things purporting
to have been given by me to their reporter,
which are totally without foundation in fact.
In the first place l never held or expressed
the opinion that Mrs. Percival was outraged
at the time of her murder, nor did ] ever en-
terrain the opinion or make the assertion that
the Edmonson boys or any of the neighbors
of the deceased parties were in any way
implicated in the tragedy. Such
IA thought never entered my
head. The fact Of it is l was interviewed Mt
Omaha by one or two reporters who heard |

to what point ! was going as the article In the
BEE claiming that / had gone TO Mississippi
will plainly show. The amount of it is the
reporters were anxious to know all about my
affairs in connection with the trip, and because
| told them nothing they thought to get even
with me by making a sensational report out OF
such material as they had gathered from fly,
ing rumors circulated by parties who claimed
to know every thing but really knew nothing
of the true facts in the case. Them
to cap the climax Of the business,
n would-be reporter from this place, probably
in search Of notoriety, makes an attack upon
me through the columns Of the BEE and did
not hesitate to make statements entirely false
and purposely intended to do me injury. The
charge he made in regard to a statement of
the county clerk with reference to me, is ma
liciously false from first to last, as the clerk
will testify that he had no words with any,
one in regard to thu matter. ! have stated
the simple facts in this case and can prove
them to be true, and ! would respectfully ad

to their own affairs and loss to matters hat dc

HI ORILD'S HOSPITAL,

There have been but two cases of sick.
ness among the children. One little boy
living in tho city was brought to the hoa,
pital in September tor n surgical opera,
ton upon one of his legs, hud another
from Dakota with an acute disease of the
eyes. Both received sstiafactory treat.
ment, and one was returned to his
parents.
Most of the children are between the
ages Of two and eight years and belong to
poor women who are either dependent
upon their own eXertions for a livelihood,
and are glad to pay o small sum for their
children's care, or are i'll temporary dis
tress and wish q home for them until ouch
time as they are in q situation to take
them again.
They are entered for an indeduito
length of time, s%ubjcct to the good or i'll
fortune of the parents, and some are left
for months and others only for u few
days. A large proportion of this work is
pure charity, but the extreme liberality
of the friends of the hospital with the
help of the pay patients has kept it in
ample funds, and the managers hope soon
to enlarge its capacity, 80 that no appli.
cant for admission to its benefits willhsve
to bs turned from it's doors.
1t is a matter of regret that the princi-
pal object of the hospital, the care of sick
children, should not be more appreciated
and taken advantage of by people to
whom it might be OF incalculable value.
The poorest child can find here the most
comfortable bed, the most careful nursing
and the most skilfull physician, every
thing which can conduce to Its comfort
and restoration to health. If the parents
are able to pay a small sum they can do
30, and if they are not, it will make no
difference.
The managers have been able to pay
off a mortgage of $500 on the lot during
the quarter, and although the monthly
bills and running expenses are large, the
receipts have kept In excess of the ex-
peditures, as the bank account of the
treasurer will show.
The economical disbursement of the
generous and constant donations of
money, requires and receives the most
careful consideration of the hospital COM
mittee.
Respectfully submitted.

Reunion OF Parker's Battery.

The second annual reGnion Of the Parker
Battery Association took place near Fred
ericksburg yesterday. At A. NJ. num-
ber OF the veterans, with invited guests,
took the Fredericksburg train, and the day
being fair, the trip to that historic city was
quite enjoyable. Arriving at their desti-
nation, the party quietly proceeded TO
Marye's Hill, where they were courteously
received by Captain A. j. Birdsall, keeper
OF the Federal cemetery. Up to noon they
spent the time in identifying positions OF
guns, recalling memories OF the fight, and
telling humorous stories.
The following were present: Major w.
w. Parker, Captain j. Thompson Brown,
Sergeant William B. CogbilI, Thomas j.
Todd, II. c. Howard. J. T.. Williams, ID.

and others. Among those who joined the
party at Fredericksburg were Colonel
Charles Richardson and Mr.. John l.. Stans-
bury.
From Marye's Hill the party proceeded
to beautiful grove near the residence OF
Mr.. Stansbury. Here they partook OF a
bountiiul lunch which had been prepared
under the management OF Mr.. ID. A.
Brown, Jr. After lunch more formal
meeting was held, the roll was called, and
historical papers were read by Major w.

ger, OF Augusta, Ga. and l.. X. Tucker,

PASTORAL.
Two Presbyterian Ministers Retained In
their Charges.

their Charges.
A called meeting OF East Hanover Pres
bytery was held in the Fourth Presbyterian
church in this city yesterday TO act on two
proposals for the removal OF ministers.
First, the Rev. Walter ii. Robertson,
pastor OF the Gloucester church, asked
leave to resign the charge OF that church,
but indicated his willingness to remain il
the Presbyterv so decided. Commissioners
from that church presented its action de-
clining to concur in his request; they also
gave urgent reasons for his being continued
in his present field OF labor. The Presby-
terry after hearing the whole case declined
TO consent to Mr.. Robertson's removal.
He was invited to two churches In Chesa-
peake Presbytery.
The second item OF business considered
was the call Of the Tabb-Street church for
the pastoral services OF the Rev. Peyton III.
Hoge. Seven commissioners came over
from Petersburg to urge the claims OF that
church. Three OF these-Alr. j. G.. Rid
die, Colonel Charles F. Collier, and Mr.. O..
B. Morgan-presented strong plea for the
removal OF the pastor OF the Fourth church
OF this city to Petersburg. Mr.. G. s..
Cook, elder OF the Fourth church, and the
Rev. DR.. Hoge, who had been requested
by vote Of the congregation to represent
them before the Presbytery, presented in
strong light cogent reasons why the pas
tor should be retained in his present
charge. Mr.. Hoge stated that whilst
he was clearly Of the opinion that
it was best for him to remain in Richmond,
vet he would act by the advice Of the Pres
bytery. When this announcement was
made, and it was known that some OF
the leading members of the Presbytery
thought it best that he should 90 TO Peters
burg, great anxiety was felt rs to what
would be the result. The Rev. DR.. Pryor
presented very strong argument in favor
of his transfer to Petersburg. The Rev.
DIR. Ar nstrong took the same side OF the
question and advised that the young broth
er should accept the call rendered him.
The final action, however, after full dis
cusslon, was simply to place the call in Mr.
Hoge's hands without advice. This left
the whole decision with himself, and he
thereupon stated that, after hearing all tlat
had been said on the subject. he saw no
reason to change the decision he had
already reached and therefore declined to
accept the call.
The representatives OF the Petersburg
church were greatly disappointed at the re-
suit, and the Richmond friends greatly
gratiied. The latter, having supposed the
decision OF their pastor, already announced
to them, would determine the case, were
not aware until the question came before
the Presbytery how great was the danger
of their losing their pastor. The church
and the city are to be congratulated on re-
tanning here minister so deseryedly pCpu-
