nIsuOP JAGGAR WILL LEAVE.
sunday to BE His Last Day NJ ~
Paui's-Dr. Cnrmichaefs Health.

Right Rev Bishop JaRgar who has been
supplying the pulpit of ST. Paul's Episco-
pal church for the past four months, has
resigned the charge. and win leave Rich
mond after the services Of Easter sun
day.
The Bishop has been most unwilingiy
forced 10 this conclusion by reason or MS
physical inhrmities. He is not strong
enough. he says, TO continue the work
and as he is 10 deliver the hampton lee
lures i'm Philadelphia in the autumn, ne
feels that the need of rest and recupera-
tion is imperative, in order that he may
be able % fiji this appointment.
The officers Of the church have done
their utmost TO prevail upon Bishop Jag
gar 10 continue the good work he has
been carrying on here. and the congre-
cation has been equally insistent but the
Bishop has remained firm, saying that he
would only break down If he continued
the work here lie has written a very
beautiful letter TO the congregation,
which will be printed and distributed
amongst the members next Sunday.
Bishop Jaggar consented 10 supply the
pulpit Of St. Paui's until october lst. or
as long as he felt able 10 do the work.
II was distinctly understood that he
would be at liberty 10 leave II ne felt the
strain too much for him.
DR. Carmichaers leave Of absence eX-
plres October lst. and by that time 1t is
hoped and believed that his health Will
be restored In the mean time the vestry
is making arrangements for temporary
supply. but no details could be learned
last night.
The following special, sent out from
Norfolk Monday night, conveys the erro-
neous impression that new rector has
been called:
"Rev. Zebulon s. Farland rector of st.
Johns Protestant Episcopal church,
Portsmouth. Va. has declined a call to
the rectorship Of ST. PauPs church, Rich
mord Va. Of which he was formerly
assistant rector. IL is understood the
call was extended on account Of the I'LL
health Of the rector. Rev. DR.. Hartley
Carmichael. who will probably spend the
summer in Europe"
No call has been extended 20 Rev Mr..
Farland. The vestry OF ST. Pauls some
weeks ago invited the former assistant
rector 10 supply the pulpit and take up
the pastoral work from Easter until the
return Of DR.. Carmichael In the fall, and
II was this that he declined. Rev. Mr..
Farland IS very popular with the congre-
cation OF St paurs. and they would have
been very glad 10 have him with them
until their pastor returns.

STRANGE STORY OF CRIME.
Gang of Nurdercrs and Robbers AR
rested-Innoccnt Persons i'm Prison.

KANSAS CITY, MO. March 2S.-The
Star to-day prints a three-column story
regarding the arrest Of a remarkable
gang Of Kansas criminals. who have for
years lived by means Of robbery and
murder
one OF the gang Is believed 10 be the
murderer Of Joseph New, who was killed
in Greenwood county. Kan, two years
ago for which News wife and George
II. Dobbs are now serving life sentences.
So firmly does Warden Lands. Of the
Kansas penitentary. believe i'm the inno-
cence Of Mrs. New and Dobbs that he
will urge Governor Stanley TO pardon
them. Frank Altgood. alleged to be the
real murderer. is I'm jail at lola. Kan
under a charge Of forgery. Alvin Bal
lard, serving an eight-year sentence In
the Kansas penitentiary for horse-steal-
ing. has confessed that he AltgoOd. and
"Bnw Turner were the murderers Of
New. and that Mrs. New and Dobbs are
absolutely innocent. Turner has not been
found.
CONSPIRACY TO CONVICT
It seems that the very men who muir
dered New and robbed his dead body,
conspred afterward TO convict the widow
and Dobbs. The supposed murderer Alt
good, according TO Ballard. even went so
far as to try to get on the jury which
convicted them. Ballard goes on to say
that he. Altgood. and Turner were mem
bers Of an organized gang of thieves and
murderers. that operated in Southeastern
Kansas. As a result Of his confession
eighteen stolen horses a bag Of counter
felt silver dollars and a counterfeiting
outfit have been recovered.
Besides Altgood. b. l.. Mathes, Mary
Mathes. and Herbert simpson are under
arrest Fifty other horses stolen by the
gang have been located. The detectives
are. on the trail Of numbers Of the gang.
