The Celebrated Divine's 5Oth Birthday
Enthusiastically Celebrated.
LONDON, June ia jubilee in honor
of the 50th birthday of Rev. Charles II.
SpurgeOn was given at HOlborn Taber-
nacle last night. The building was
crowded, over 5000 persons being present.
Two Christian HISTORIANS from Persia
were at the meeting. Mr.. Spurgeon and
various members of the Spurgeon family
were grouped on the platform, and were
greeted with prolonged cheers and the
waving of handkerchiefs by the audience.
The applause continued for several min
utes after the opening hymns were sung.
The audience then united in prayer, after
which Mr.. SpurgeOn addressed the meet
ing. He spoke at length and with great feel
ing, moving the audience to tears. He
thanked his hearers in glowing terms for
their cordial reception. He said: "Our
American friends are generally very cute
Judges. | read often of their opinions of
me. They have repeatedly asserted Spur
geOn is no orator; we have scores of bet
ter preachers in America; but it is evil
dent that SpurgeOn breaches the Gospel
and q majority OF our celebrated men do
mott" Hearl hear!l. Mr.. Spurgeon
continued in his characteristic style
to urge preachers to preach more
simply aud plainly tha puro gospel of the
grace of God. The dry, dead gospel OF
some preachers never evoked the sympa-
thy OF mem hearts. Mr.. Moody then
spoke. A list of IA congratulations from
associations at home and abroad were
next read. Among them were one each
from the Philadelphia Baptist conference,
the Canadian branch of the Pastors Col
lege, and Mr.. Surgeons father and two
brothers.
At the SpurgeOn celebration tonight, a
check for $4,000 was handed SpurgeOn.
The latter, on rising, received an ovation.
He said that the kindness he had received
during the last two days would melt the
hardest heart. He did not expect the
check, but did wish something raised
with which to extend and improve the
tabernacle and for other religious and
charitable purposes. The proceedings
were closed with a prayer and benedic-

NORTH CAROLINA PROSPERITY.

The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail-
road Opened Under Glowing Aus
pIces.
GREENSBORO, June 19.-At the invita-
ton of the business men of Greensboro,
5000 persons from fifteen counties, in
cluding representative men from the busi-
ness centres of the State, from Wilmington
TO Mount Airy, assembled to-day to cele-
brate the opening of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad to this point, 130
miles. The completed road is in fine con-
ditiOn, having substantial depOts. new steel
rails and good rolling stock. Thirty-ive
miles additional road is ready for the iron
west of Greensboro, and in three weeks
connection will be made with the Carolina
Central Railroad at Shoe Heel. A con-
tract has been made for immediate extern
sion to Bennettsville,i IS. G. The ultimate
purpose is TO connect with the Cincinnati
and Wilmington Railroad. Judge Gilmer
delivered an address of welcome,
and Gov. Jarvis followed in an
address portraying the prosperity
of the State. Senator Vance con-
trasted the present condition of the State
with 1865. North Carolina, he said, had
arisen from the ashes of desOlatiOn and
entered on a career of marvellous pTos-
peritY. Numerous short roads had @een
built and the railroad mileage had in
creased from 1000 to 1000 miles. Great
Improvement had been made in the public
schools and the school fund was greater
than all the other expenses combined.
There had been an unparalleled adj
vance in agriculture, in SprOducts
and in the use of improved agricultural
instruments and in every influence of
civilization. He spoke Of the law-abiding
character of the citizens and the high
tone of the public men, but, said the
speaker, while inviting immigration and
foreign capital the people must depend
on themselves for the development OF their
material resources. Duncan McRea,
Treasurer Worth and others followed. A
grand banquet was afterwards given at
RenboW's Hail.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-J. o. Burn
side, late Superintendent Of the Post
Office Department, who was rearrested
last night on warrants charging him with
retaining $4,000 realized from the sale of
waste paper, was to-day released on 50, 500
bail. An examination into his affairs
shows that Col. Burnside, Immediately
upon entering his office in 1876,
began to retain a portion of the
money realized from the sales OF
old office furniture, carpets, waste
paper, ETC., which he was by law
required to turn into the Treasury. The
investigation has been concluded with
much difficulty, owing to the fact that
Col. Burnside kept no records of sale of
material, but it has been shown that be
received over $32, 600 on that account. 1t
is probable that Col. Burnside will be re-
arrested dpon additional warrants, and
when the investigation is concluded the
facts will be laid before the grand jury.
BURNsIDE's BONDsMEN.
WASHINGTON, June 10, 11:2O P. M
The bondsmen Of j. o. P. Burnside, the
defaulting disbursing clerk of the Post
Office Department, notified police head
quarters tonight that they desired to sur
render Burnside to the authorities, as
they were unwilling to remain surety for
him any longer. He was accordingly re-
arrested tonight, and tomorrow his
bondsmen will go into court and formally
ask to be discharged from his bond. 1t is
stated tonight that while the reason given
by the bOndsmen for this action is, that
having discovered that Col. Burnside
had been Systematically stealing from the
government, they are unwilling longer to
shield him, their true motive is to get
him under police surveillance for fear of
his committing suicide if he remains un-

Route Trials Recalled.

A Remarkable Incident of the Star
Route Trials Recalled.
WASHINGTON, e19.-Mr. Milliken,
OF Maine, member of the Springer In
vestigating Committee, asked George
Bliss queer question while Col. Bliss
was in the witness chair this afternoon.
He asked Col. Bliss what he knew about
the Attorney Generals having gone to or
sent for Judge Wylie in regard to having
the machinery of the government applied
to secure the Indictment and conviction of
oenator Kellogg. George Bliss replied
that ne would rather not answer that
mittee would examine .Jud0e WvIjo
The inference drawn by those ii
the committee room was that Col. Bliss
knew that the Attorney General had made
such remark to Judge Wylie. 1t is nm
derstood that if Col. Bliss had answered
frankly and fully, he would have said that
last spring, just before the kellogg case
came to trial, the Attorney Genera one
day invited Judge Wylie to come + his
office. Judge Wylie went, wondering What
the invitation might mean. The Attorlny
General explained that he had sent f.
him to say that, while he was
sorry for Mr.. Kellogg, and had no
desire to persecute him, still he
could not afford to let him go free, and to
that end he wanted the Judge, who was
about to try the case, to use every means
in his power to procure the conviction
of Mr.. Kellogg. Judge Wylie was aston
ished at this remarkable proposition. He
at once said, very Indignantly, that the
Attorney General had mistaken his man.
He said that he was at loss to account
for such an unheard of proposition, one
that no honorable Judge could enter
tain for moment, and taking his
by way of cOrroboration of this story, did
not appear la court in the kellogg trial
although be had said that he would do So
For some reason, not then Understood, hn
retained a Mr.. Reynolds, of Lancaster,
Pa, to appear in his stead.
