A Pastor Fried And Aeauitted.

Yalesville is excited over the investigation made by committee of the Methodist Epis- copal church of that place into the charges against their pastor, Rev. H. T. Mclaughlin. The story is that the minister became infatu- ated with Mrs. George Mulberry, who on De- cember Il, 1884, became widow. During her husbands illness the minister frequently visited Mulberry's house, and the gossips said the wife was the great attraction Mrs Mulberry, they added, neglected her hus- band. After Mulberry's death the minister accompanied the widow to Middleburgh, N Y., near which place the remains of the dead man were inferred. She left Yalesville on Monday and got back on the following Fri day. Parson Mclaughlin said that he made the trip at the widows request. Another cause of trouble was dispute between Mrs. Mulberry and her brother-in-law, William Tompkins. They had some hot words few days ago. Tompkins, the widow says, pushed her down the hall and cut her head. As result the brother -in-law left Yalesville suddenly. Everybody in the town knew all about the case and the excitement ran high, when the church ommittee-Charles Lamb, Henry Haller and William Carroll-investi- gated the charges gossips brought against the minister. After protracted session the committee decided that MT. Mclaughlin was innocent, but the town is still in a tumult over the trouble.
