correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatchl
LYNcHBURG, Sept. Ia, 1886.
One Of the marked pecnliarities at
tending the recent dedication Of the new
Baptist church was the appearance and
historical address Of the venerable DR..
Robert Ryland, now a resident Of Ken.
.ucky. lie was the first pastor Of the
Society, assuming his duties in 1927,
and leaving his flock in lS32-more
than fifty.four years ago-to assume the
duties Of school, which eliminated in
Richmond College, with which he was
so long connected. His frequent allu-
sions to the early struggles Of himself
and Hook, together with the tender
memories connected Herewith, were
very touching, and, while tears fire.
quently welled up from his own eyes,
those of his congregation flo we'd freely.
But four Of his old flock now remain.
At eighty.one, DR.. Ryland is the picture
Of robust old age. His advent in the
city at this time has stirred up the re-
lation Of "reminiscences among our old
er inhabitants.
DR.. Smith, the pastor Of the new
church, has inaugurated commendable
fraternal spirit in continuing meetings
during the percent week, which will be
addressed by ministers of other de-
nominations. Last night Rev. L. NJ.
Carson, of the Episcopal church,
preached. He will be followed tonight
by Rev. DR.. Hall, Of the Presbyterian
church, and tomorrow Rev. Z. A. Pc
terson, Methodist, will occupy the pull
pit.
Rev. B. W. Mosely, late a leading
PRESBYTERIAN divine of this section, pas
tor of the church at New London, in
this county, and principal Of the New
London Academy, was buried at that
place yesterday. lie was man OF SUI
perior worth and fine natural abilities.
lie will be greatly missed IN all this
section, both as a citizen and minister.
The campaign in this congressional
district was inaugurated at Campbell
Courthouse yesterday between Judge
Van Ness, of Charlotte, an " lndepen-
dent " candidate for Congress, and Mr..
T. N. Williams, of this city, on behalf
of the Democracy. Mr.. Williams as.
sured the Judge that "while he posed
as an Independent he was only Re-
publican, and one who had made the
acquaintance Of William Malone. Hon.
John W. Daniel also spoke, not only
giving an account Of his own steward
Ship, but making an earnest appeal IN
behalf of Major Griffin, the Democratic
nominee.
There was a slight white frost this
morning on the hills hereabouts.

to the Hampton Congressional Conven-

Several horses have died recently in
this vicinity, and fears are entertained
of an epidemic among them. They
seem to suffer with a spinal affection,
accompanied with blindness.
The recent rains have caused great
damage to the fodder of this section.
One man of York county told me to-
day that his is a total loss. Almost
every man in James City is a suiiere
from this cause, some losing their fodder
in the shock, others on the stalk.

Ar;hbuthust alias A. l.. Pittmau alas
Charles Walker alias Parsons, recently
arrested at Oovington, Tenn, has con-
fessed to the sheriff Of that county oil
having murdered the late Mayor Bow
man, OF East st. Louis on the 10Th day
Of last November. The sheriff has sent
the confession to the East st. Louis au-
thorities, and it is, in substance, that
while walking in the outskirts OF East
st. Louis Arthbuthust was approached
by the yice.preSident Of one OF the
railroads terminating in East st. Louis
with proposition to put Bowman out
ofthe way. The offer was accepted aud
the price agreed upon $4,000. Arth-
buthust says it was not his intention
to kill Bowman but to kidnap him, and
lock him up in private asylum with
which be had made arrangements, and
use him as a means Of extorting money
from both Bowman and his own
employer. lie employed two New
York toughs to assist him. When
they tried to carry out their
kidnapping scheme Bowman raised an
outcry for the police, aud he (Arth-
buthust) shot him with the intention
to disable him, and was surprised to
find he had killed Bowman. lie then
escaped, and was paid the agreed price
on the street short distance from
where Bowman fell. He then went to
his employers house, in St. Louis, and
spent the remainder Of the night. Early
in the morning, disguised as a woman,
he took the first train for Springfield,
Ill.
The confession then details his travels
through the South, and his final arrival
at Covington, Tenn, and his subsequent
arrest. lie states that be makes the
confession voluntarily, simply because
of q guilty conscience. He knows his
employers name, his place of residence,
and could easily identify him if ne
should ever see him again. lie refuses
10 declare the yice-president's name,
but promises to do so when the proper

lBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, September l4.-Sir j. Fer
euson, Under Foreign Secretary, reply
ing to interrogatories in the House of
Commons this afternoon, stated that
eleven English fishing-boats, which
were seized by the French authorities
yesterday at IIavre for violating the III
ternational fisheries law, have been re-
leased.
In regard to Prince Alexander's
abdicstion the Under-Secretary said the
Government possessed no official infOr-
nation which would justify them in
stating that the Gar compelled the
Prince to abdicate. He therefore could
not make similar assumption. The
seizure and abduction Of the Prince, he
said, were due to mutiny on the
part of the Bulgarian army. At
the same time, the er-Secretary
added, the Government would decline to
Law before the house the negotiations in
progress relative to the Bulgarian crisis
for the reason that publicity would
serve no good purpose, but, on the
contrary, might do harm. The Regency
of Bulgaria, be said, were following
constitutional forms, and all parties in
the country appeared determined to CO.
operate for peace.
