The special committee appointed by
the Lackawanna Presbytery to investi-
gate the charges printed in the Scran-
tonian about DR.. w. II. II. Bull and
Miss Scott, OF Elmhurst, has made its
report After a thorough and careful
examination it found nothing that
would call for action on the part of the
Presbytery. The committees decision
was unanimous. The report was ac-
cepted by the Presbytery.
The article which appeared in the
Scra~tonian was shown to be without
foundation.
a meeting of the Presbytery was held
at Elmhurst last Friday for the pur-
pose Of considering the advisabilty Of
dissolving the pastoral relations be-
tween Rev. w. Q Scott, d. D., and the
Elmhurst Presbyterian church. While
the assembly was in session a petition
was presented by DR.. w. II. II. Bull
and Miss Cordelia Scott. daughter Of
the pastor, asking that the Presbytery
send a special committee to investl-
gate the slander which was printed
about them.
In view of this petition, the Presby-
terry adjourned the conference relative
to the dissolution of the relations be-
tween the pastor and the church until
yesterday, when the matter was again
taken up in adjourned meeting. The
committee asked for was appointed at
Fridays meeting which was composed
of Rev. Charles Lee, of Carbondale;
Rev. w. Fl. Swift, of Honesdale: Rev.
John p. Moffat, D. D., Of West Scran-
ton; Elder F. c. Parkhurst, Of the
Memorial Presbyterian church, Wilkes
Barre, and DR.. ]. A. Sandel, elder of
the Plymouth Presbyterian church.
This committee met at Elmhurst on
Tuesday last and spent several hours
in listening to the testimony ard ex-
aminng nearly thirty witnesses. Every
bit of evidence submitted was closely
followed, and it was found there was
absolutely no foundation whatever for
the allegations, published in the Scran-
tonian.
The committee deliberated for some
time on the evidence and testimony
submitted, and after a thorough and
careful examination decided unani-
mously that they found nothing that
would warrant a judicial investigation
on the part of the Presbytery."
When the assembly met in adjourned
session at Forty Fort on Wednesday
the committee submitted their report,
which was accepted. During the after
noon session of Wednesday, the Pres
bytery examined Rev. McComb, and in
the evening installed him as pastor OF
the church at Forty Fort.
DR.. Scott, it is said. proposes to in
stitute proceedings for criminal libel
against the editors of the Scrantonian.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
There Was No Evidence Against Him
and Ee Was Discharged.

Frank Dudish was arrested Wednes-
day night at Jermyn's mine, No. /,
near Rendham, by two watchmen en-
ployed on the place, and kept in GUS
tody until yesterday morning, when he
was brought to the city by Constable
Cole and arraigned before Alderman
Howe.
He had been seen prowling around
the premises for several days and act
ing in a generally suspicious manner.
1t is thought that perhaps he was tam
pering with the striking miners, or try
ing some mischief or other. When
searched, he was found to be in pos
session of plenty of funds, having con-

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
One of Undertaken Cusick's Coaches
Totally Demolished.

A very exciting and thrilling runaway
took place yesterday morning at about
10 o'clock on Wyoming avenue. One of
Cusicks coaches, used at a funeral at
St. Peters cathedral, was driven by Mat
thew Scanlon. AS the coach arrived at
its destination, the driver got down and
opened the carriage door. Just as the
last person had stepped out, the horses
started precipitously up the avenue,
with the driver holding on to the reins.
He had almost gained mastery Of the
horses, when at Mulberry street street
cleaner, attempting to stop the horses,
struck one of them with his brush. The
horses then started up the street with
increased speed, running in towards the
curb. The driver who had kept hold of
the reins all through the ordeal, now
feared that he would be caught be-
tween the team and the curb, and let

At Vine street the team was effect
