KEYTEsvILLE, Mo-, Sept. 4.--Probably

and was born in Prince Edward county,
Virginia, about 1865. His first owner was

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 5.--The vestry Of
st. Phillips church held several meetings
last week for the purpose of investigating
the charges that had been preferred
against Rev. J. G. Armstrong, rector Of
tnat church. A a meeting held this after
noon, to agree upon the verdict based
upon the investigations made at several
meetings, the following resolution was
adopted:
ResolUed, That, after a careful and thor
ouEh investigation of the reports which have
been printed rejecting upon Rev. DR.. Arm
rOng. IL is the opinion Of this vestry that
the facts do not demand the withdrawal OF
confidence in our esteemed rector.
THE FACTS OF THE CASE,
In conversation with members OF the
vestrv it was ascertained that while in
Cincinnati DR.. Armstrong had imbibed a
good deal of beer, and had been partially
under its influence, not sufficiently intOX-
ieated, however, to lose control of his fac
ulties, and that while in this condition he
had visited a number of disreputable
houses for the purpose of finding and
eXGlaimlng, il possible, female
relative whom he had learned
was in one of these resorts. He found
her, purchased ticket and sent her home.
The vestry accepted DR.. Armstrong;
statement and passed the above resolu-
ton. Bishop Beckwith presided at the
investigation. Rev. Armstrong will fill
his accustomed place in the pulpit to-
morrow, and the church will doubtless be
crowded,

MiscaIculatiOn OF the Distance Made by
the Ship the Cause of Her Loss.
ST. JoHN's, N. f., Sept. 5.-This morn
ing the steamer Hercules arrived with
the balance Of the passengers and crew
of the HanoYerian. Interviews with
Prof. Bell Of Washington, Mr.. Starr, of
Halifax, and other prominent passengers
disclosed the following additional par
ticulars: The loss of the ship is attributed
to a miscalculation Of the ships
running on the day before the disaster.
No sights were obtainable, and
the ship was sailing on dead reckoning.
The days run was first published on the
tablet as 227 miles, but was afterward
altered to 2S2 miles, discrepancy max
ing the exact difference between the
safety and destruction OF the ship. The
first figures we're correct, as shown by
the position of the sttamer. The passen.
gers complain strongly that the officers
and crew instead OF endeavoring to save
the luggage, were engaged In securing

the Brass City as popular and energetic
business man. He joined the church.
Mr.. Mitchell had wife, but no one
ever saw her. To-day forty servant girls
and the fathers Of two OF the most promi-
nent young ladies in the place are looking
for the entertaining Mr.. Mitchell. He
has gone.
The servant girls say that they have
been swindled, Mr.. Mitchell having in
duced them to leave IN his keeping 81 TO
$40 for which he agreed TO obtain situa-
tions for them. Some OF the girls be sent
TO one end of the State and some TO the

FLIGHT OF A WIFE.

the Children Go With Rer.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 5.-Three years
ago Willis FARRELL, well-known here in
commercial circles, being connected with
one Of the leading wholesale houses, died,
leaving a wife, who was a remarkably
handsome woman, and three children.
Mrs. FARRELL remained widow until
eleven months ago, when she married
James Thurmond, the city magazine
keeper. They lived happily together and
Thurmond became greatly attached to the
children. Yesterday ThurmOnd left home
in the morning TO 90 to the magazine, as
is his usual custom. There he remained
all day and returned in the evening.
HIS HOME DESERTED.
When he reached home he found the
door of his residence open, and none of
his family visible. Usually they met him
at the gate, when he returned from his
labOrs. AS he was about to enter his
house a negro girl handed him a note,
which he opened and read. The note was
found to be from his wife. In it she
stated that she had left the city with the
children for her old home in Detroit,
Mich. The effect Of the note
can be imagined better than
described. An Investigation showed that
she had carried off $3.50 belonging to her
husband, which he had in the house, and
that she had purchased tickets for Detroit
and left the city. Thurmond can give no
reason for her leaving, and thinks that
she may return, although she intimated
nothing of the kind in her note.
