To whom It NAV Concern.

In view Of the many conflicting re-
ports which are ahoat concerning the
Investigation of charges against the
character of the Rev. J. ID. Kemp, and
in view of the many urgent inquiries
that are coming to me by mail and
otherwise concerning the unpleasant
affair, have concluded that it will he
best for the church and all concerned,
for me to make an official statement of
the whole case, which statement l
herewith subjOin.
First-Upon reaching Still Pond,
Md, on Saturday, May 5th, found
rumors aAoat detrimental to the char
acter of the Rev ]. d. Kemp, the pas
tor of the NJ. E. Church of that place.
Second-In the evening of the same
day letters claiming to have been writ
ten by the Rev. J. d. Kemp to the
wife of T. G. Lockard, of BettertOn,
Md, were placed in my hands.
Third-UpOn my return home on
Monday ] Immediately summoned a
committee of nine of his ministerial
| brethren to act as a committee of in-
vestigatiOn in the case.
FOurth--The committee did meet IN
the NJ. E. Church of Smyrna, Thurs
day, May 10, at 10 o'clock, the Rev
n. NJ. Browne appearing az cOunse
for the church and Revs. w. z. Comp
ton and W. l.. S. Murray for the de
fence, r. Irving Watkins acting az
! secretary.
Fith-The charge was that of seek
ing TO ALLEVIATE the affections of another
mans wife. To this charge the de
fendant pleaded not guilty. The let
ters in question were submitted in evi
dence. The defendant acknowledged
the authorship of the letters but de
MED most positively that he intended
them to convey any such meaning a
had been attached to them.
Sixth-After faithful and painstak
ing investigation lasting through sew
eral hours, the committee rendered
the following verdict:
ave the undersigned committee. appointed t
investigate rumOrs rejecting upon the moral an
ministerial character Of Rev. J. b. Kemp. aitC
hearing the evidence given in the case do find
lst That the said Rev. J. D. Kemp has nt
been proven guilty Of any immortality in the cas-
referred to-
2nd. That the said Rev. J. D. Kemp has bee
proven guilty of very great indiscretiOn, imprI
dence and unministerial conduct, which merit
severe Tebuke, and which has Occasioned hurt
the church"

Henry Shafer, an enterprising far
mer in Thoroughfare Neck, living on
the Capt. Mustard place was rather
unfortunate last week in meeting with
series of troubles. To begin the
week with, he lost from disease a valu-
bile work horse, very young and of
good stock; a short while after this he
had one of his best mules to jump into
a barb wire fence, cutting and lacerat-
ing its breast fearfully. 1t will be re-
membered that the mate to this mule
a little while after he had bought them
in some mysterious way broke its neck.
He was considered before this to have
the best pair of mules in the Neck. A
day or so after his mule was injured
he lost thoroughbred COW; and to
end the week of troubles, his little girl,
Nellie, came near being killed by an OK
cart tumbling over on her, while play
ing under shed. She sustained some
internal injuries.
