The following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, The four Synods controlling this Seminary h/ive instructed ihjs board to request the Rev. J/?;nes Woodrow, D. D., for his resignation as professor of natural science in connection with Revelation: "Resolved, That a committee consisting of the Rev. Messrs. Rogan and Thompson, be appointed to wait on Dr. Woodrow and make the said request, and said committee shall present Dr. Woodrow with a copy of this resolu tion." At 12 o'clock the board took a recess until 2 p. m. At that hour the commit* lee presented the following note from pr. Woodrow: "In reply to the request which you have justvhanded mo for my resignation as professor of natural science in connection with Revelation, I beg leave to say that I lospectfully decline acceding to it." This note was signed with Dr. Woodrow's full title as Perkins professor. The board then unanimously adopted a preamble, reciting the above facts, and the following resolution: "liesolved. In accordance with the instructions received from the four contviktlincv Sivnnrla Af flirt frh<??^lrvnpJpftl ."""" b * ~v?.vb.v?. mv...jnary, that tho licv. James Wood row, J). D., be, and he is heroby, removed froin th? chair of natural ucienco in connection with Revelation, and that tho secretary be dirocted to communicate .this action to Dr. Woodrow." Tho board then went into an election for professor of didactic and polemic lheology. The Rev. I>r. J. L. Girardeau was elcctod. Taking a recess at 6 p. tn. the board waited on Dr. Girardeau in a body, acquainted him with his election and urging his acceptance of the professorship. Dr. Girardeau replied, expressing J)is appreciation of tho confidence repe^ed in him by bis brethren, and statins that he would consider the mat tcr and give 1>sh reply at the earliest practicable moment. At 8 p. m. the board reassembled at Wright's Hotel and spent about two hours considering the interests of the Seminary. It "vas decided to postpone further elections of professors until the .first Wednesday in February, when the board will meet in Augusta. The chairs remaining to be tilled are as follows: (X) lliblical literature and exegesis of Scripture; (2) pastoral theology; (3) the Perkins professorship of natural science in connection with ltovelation. The members of the board express thomHelves as hopeful of the future of the Seminary, which they expect to reopen next September.?2Tew? and Courier. A Horror In a Swamp. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 9.?[8pecial.]? Information has just been recoivcd bore of a brutal murder, three weeks ago, in Tattnall county. The victim was Tom Jluhb^rd, a nogro, employed by R. A. Hapevraker, who is manufacturing cypress shingles for a Philadelphia firm Mr. Hfnawaker worked thirty or more negroes, yjio deposited their earnings with Henry ^Weaver, the colorod fore. roan. rOri November 15, Weaver missed ft #250 belonging to himself and the other vfrt- laborers. Habbard was suspected by his fellow workmen. They took him into the cypress; swamp and whipped him with ? buggy trace to make him jconfess. He implicated two others, but they w?/jfr pjWt- cA'ptured. ^uringj day Hubbard was whip j?ed several limes, and died at night. - The jspot is npMeg- from the post-affice or' jtelegrapli'Rtationl and tho authorities did not learn of the oaqarrence for a week or two. Bey en arrests have been made. Throe persons wore discharged. Nine Jor whom warrants were isgyed got UM'ny.?J uquxta f&hrotlipjc. The Case of Cluverius. j Richmond, December 5).?C. H. F. l)ouring, an cx-policemnn. who was arrested last night on the charge of bribing Herman .Joel, the watch-key witness in the Cluverius ease, was boforn tho j Police Cnurt to-day, but his examination v was postoponed until the 18th inst. 0 When considering petitions for Kxcutivo clemency in the case of Cluverius the tl Govornor sent for Joel and questioned him in regard to tho watch key. At tho j request of tho Governor, Joel described the interior of the watch key, which he had renaircd fur Cluverius. and after- I ward opened it in the presence of the ? Governor. His description tallied exactly with tho interior of tho watch key. At tho trial the Commonwealth asked { that tho key bo opened by Jool but counsel for the defence objected. This wis perhaps the strongest point in the evidence against the prisoner, and now since it has come to light that the interior of the watch key wrs found to bo as described by Joel the evidence of the prisoner's guilt is ?ven more conclusive. Chief of Polico Poe to-day received a letter from Superintendent Murray, New York, containing" the following, wh;ch ho had received on December 8, 1886: To Superintendent Murray?Dear Sir I am sorry that the authorities of Richmond are making a great mistake about Cluvcrius's caso. He is the wrong man. Sorry he could not prove an alibi. I had an opinion ho could, and now there i? iiuuiiii^ icu iui me uuv iu ?m rt'iiui'r uijrself as tho murdorer of Lilian Madison. I will surronder on tho morning of Cluverius's execution at your he*dquarters. It iB unnecessary to give you further particulars, an my caso will show clearly about the murder at my trial. I cannot wait any longer of conscience has troubled mo onongh. I will prove all when I surronder, and there is nothing left forme but to surrender, got n trial and probably hang. 'ULIAK MADISON'S MUnPE?Ra.,, * The police here regard the letter as the offusion of a crank. The Narrow (Jnago does to Susoag & Co. Tho meeting of the stockholders of tho Atlantic, GreenvilJo Narrow Gaugy railroad, held at Ninety-Six on Wednesday, voted to acoopt the proposition of ^ Susong & Co. m That proposition is, that .$150,000 of stock, a controlling interest, shall be issued Susong & Co., who assumes all f the liabilities of the road and tako all its assets, giving second mortgage bonds in exchange for the township bonds. They give security in $150,000 to com- r pleto tho grading from Hamburg to Piod- inont withiu one year, making the track it standard gauge, and promise to put on ? the iron and rolling stock within two C years. They have declined to give security for the latter clause on tho a ground that they will invest a large sum of nuillHV in f h*> c?rrwlini? o r>rl n.vnmnt I) j B v. x liabilities, which is security enough that they will complete tho building and put the road in operation so that they may realize on thoir capital aB quickly as possible. J As for transferring tho road to sorao other corporation or syndicate, thoy J argue with much forcc that their possession of it makes no difference, as a r mortgage would be put on the road to u\ complete it anyhow, and the mortgage ? bonds would bo sold in open markot and l could be purchased by anybody who * wauieu 10 control me road, Dut they ? say they have no intention of using the " road except as part of a line to be built r from Knoxville, Tenn., to Augusta, by ^ Greenville.?Greenville 2ietvs. tl Spped & Nenffer's Locals.
