NEw CASTLE pRrsBYrERK
Campbell Case Preliminaries--The Rev.
Joseph l.. MaIone's Resignation.


A special session of New Castle Pres
bytery was held in Central Church on
Friday afternoon. Interesting matters
were considered and the attendance was
large. The session was protracted and
there was much discussion.
Investigation of the Campbell case, as
ordered by the Synod of Baltimore, was
begun. The Rev. j. r. Campbell of Snow
Hill was formally served with charges,
specifications and q list of witnesses,
which service he acknowledged, and
was directed to answer at the spring
session of the presbytery, which will be
held in Delaware City either on the sec
ond orthird Tuesday Of April. There are
two charges against Mr.. Campbell-tirst,
that he has been guilty Of unchristian
and unministerial conduct in having
secured a divorce from his wife, Mrs.
Mary A. Campbell, upon other grounds
than those allowed by scripture
and the church, and second, that having
been divorced thus he has remarked. A
commission composed of the Revs w.
j. Swartz, w. l.. McEwan and s. A..
Gayley, d, d., was appointed to take
the testimony Of Witnesses who will
not be able TO attend the spring session
Of the presbytery. Mr. Swartz was APP
pointed prosecutor on behalf of the
presbytery and he named John r Mich
olson, ESD, of Dover as his counsel and
w. 5. Prickett, Esq, of this city as al
ternate counsel Announcement was
made that Mr. Campbell has not secured
counsel as yet. Mr.. Swartz does not
regard his position as pleasant one. 1t
is stated that those who favor the trial
and those who oppose il do not know
whether or not Mr.. Campbell is guilty.
The pastoral relations between the
Rev. Joseph i. Malone and Newark
Presbyterian Church We're dissolved.
Mr.. Swartz was appointed moderator of
the session Of the church and the Rev.
}. X. Milligan was appointed TO declare
on March LIST the pulpit vacant. At any
time during this year that he desires
Mr.. Malone will receive letter of dis
missal to the Presbytery of Pennsylvania
and on March LIST he will take charge of
home mission at Middlesborough,
town which an English syndicate is
building in the southeastern part of
Kentucky and upon which the syndi-
cate will expend $26,000,000. An Eng
lish steel mandatory, sail to be one of
the largest and best in the world, will
be removed there, owing to. the towns
nearness to the Cumberland deposits
of iron and coal. II is predicted that
the town will soon become large
city and Mr.. Malone expects to accom-
plish much good there.
