THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAplI.niLADELPIIIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY G, 18G7. 5 A. HOMICIDE KEA.R BLiaSBima, N. J. , On Tuesday morning, about 3 o'clock, a party of meu were engaged in moving tho housobnld floods of J. liever, Irom a hnuso about two miles Irom F.lllsburg, In Delaware towuslilp, near the Burlington county line, to a place near Woodstown. The party had assembled at the above-mentioned hour In order to have an early start. While the wagons wore bolng loaded two of the drivers, one named William Kelley and the other Davis Kelso, got into an altercation about bolng the best mmi to work, Kelley remarked that "he (Kelso) was not half a man to work." Whereupon Kelso waxed wroth, and pulled out a knife and made a cut at the other, but tho knife, striking a boll which was around his body, glanced off. Kelley then bit Kelso betweon the eyes and felled him to the ground, l'lcklng himself up, be made another lunge at Kelley, and this time entered the stomach about four Indies below the navel, and, taking an upward direction, made a wound about a foot In length the bowels protruding. The mau Immediately fell to the ground. Those lu the house, hearing the rumpus, ran out and took the wounded man Into It. lie had not been there more than five minutes before he expired. The house, In the meantime, had been surrounded by the neigh bors, so bh to prevent the escape of Kelso. When the Constable went Into the dwelling, Kelso refused to leave, guying "He would cut any man who dared to take him." He was Hlttlug beside the deceased when the officer addressed him. Kelso got up and went out of the door as If to escape, but those outside imme diately closed around him, and the ofBcer coming op caught him by the back of the neck, threw Tiim down, pot handcuff on, and with the assistance of another, carried him to a wagon, which was in waiting, and took him to Camden County Jail. The Inquest on the body of the deceased was held by Squire Fowler, at Elllsburg, yesterday, and a verdict rendered In accordance with the facts. Kelso acknowledges that he did the cutting, and says Kelley beat him. Jle exhibits signs of penitence, and Is no doubt extremely mortified at having killed a fcllow-helng. Kelley leaves a wife and several children to lament bis untimely end. CITY INTELLIGENCE. For Additional Looal ltemt tee Third .Page. A Resume of thk "Burial Ground" CONTKOVKKSY, WITH UTHKK M ATTKRy THERETO Appertaining. The final examination, with reference to the accumulation of evidence for and against the proposed sale of the Lutheran Cemetery, bounded by Eighth, Vine, Franklin, and Race streets, look place yesterday. Both parties are now anxiously awaiting the ease at the Common Fleas, the arguments then to be set forth, and the final decision. We propose to give a brief resume of this con troversy, from its inception three years ugo. In the early part of 1)404, the Gorman Lutheran Church Council, composed of otllcers and mem bers elected from the congregation, determined by vote to sell certai n properties belonging to the Church corporation, Including a slice of 110 feet in depth from the west front of this burial ground, for the purpose of liquidating an out standing debt against the corporation, which was productive of greut evils. Agreeably with, this action, a Dolitlou was presented, in Febru ary, 1864, to the Mate Legislature, praying for .the privilege of disposing of these proper ties. This was refused. In October of the same year, a second petition was presented to the Court of Common Pleas, which gi anted its prayer In part, by appointing an examiner to ' take testimony for and against the cemetery. 5 his was done, and the examiner reported against the sale; but the Court overruled this, and directed another, the last examination, which has Just been concluded. Mow the arguments in the case are as follows: The Churcu Council, and that part of the con gregation who desire the disposal of the ground, enter a plea to the effect that funds are neces sary tor the liquidation of the Church indebted ness. To meet this argument, the opposition give evidenoe that the income accruing to the corporation from ground rents, real estate, in terest, etc., amounting to about $19,000 per annum, can be so judiciously put to use that the whole debt can within ten years be paid ofT, leaving a yearly margin fully sufficient to meet the contingent expenses of the Church in all Its efforts. Secondly, the Council set forth that money is needed to extend the sect, to build church edifices nearer the outskirts of the city, to establish schools, thus giving the denomina tion abroad a foundation and a more enten--Give influence. This, again, is met by the affirmation that money could be quickly raised from the sale ol other real estate, without any sale from the cemetery, which would be amply sufficient to meet all demands In this direction. Tlie oppo sition, composed in part of late members and outsiders interested, bring forth many argu ments in support of their position. First, if the cemetery Is sold, it will beau impossibility to Identify the graves of deceased relatives and friends, in caso of removal, as the headstones -were removed In the year 1848, when the ceme tery was refined, and not rightly replaced. Also, that numbers of the graves were never roamed by any kind of bead-board, and conse quently no proof the correct whereabouts can be obtained. Yesterday afternoon George Wagner, Presi dent of the Church corporation, testified in vldence that, when the burial-ground was refilled and the headstones removed, stakes were oareruiiy ariveu ana oareiuny luameu, were placed in the exact sections occupied by the stones, and that, after the renllrnent, the monuments and head-boards were rightly re placed. Healsosays that outof every twenty graves but one was without any mark what ever, and when the new earth was laid on, It was smoothed above them, and their identifica tion is forever lost. Mow taking into conside ration that there are interred 20.000 bodies, by the above statement 1000 are without any posi tive mark. Looking at this fact In the abstract, It is questionable whether any class of people, who know not where their relatives were In terred, would consent to the removal of their bodies, their sacrilegious disturbance, or coun tenance any proposition to tnat enect. Th Church Council, according to their peti tlon, do agree to disinter those bodies now lying ju that part of the cemetery to be sold, and giv 1 ti.em a. decent burial in a new lot opposite Laurel Hill. This Is opposed because, the oppo sition assert, the size of the ground will not permit of such decent and separate burial. The opposition offer another argument, which hours aLronelv on the case. Persons not mem bers of the Church, by the payment of certain urns, bought plots of ground for burial pur Ttoses. Certificates to this effect were lately fiiad before the Examine giving full, com plete. and everlasting ownership to such pur- montji river such nlois. thus constituting all of such purchasers, In part, landholders of the Whole cemetery. Wf.ni inn seven of the charter of the corpora' tlon, whieh was granted in 1705 by William Venn and confirmed in 1780 by the Legislature, says: That the said officers of the church, nor their successors, shall not for debt, fine, or re covery, grant, alien, or dispose of grounds, tene ments, or messuages, by any menus or in any manner to any person whatsoever. These are the main arguments In the case on both sides. In an article published In the Philadelphia Thmncrat (German), the other day. It was as serted that this Journal was the "champion" of the opposition, because in lis columns were printed a great abundance of facts favoring the opposition, deduced from examinations before the lawful examiner : when this paper but made public the real facts in the case. It asserts, aUo, that the sale Is iieoessary, because the debt of $80,000 is detrimental to the progress nf the Church. The amount of this debt bears strongly on the final decision of the question at Issue. Instead of being 40,000, according to the ' many petitions and affirmations, during the two years past, the amount of the debt has mvsleriouslv fluctuated from $48,000 to $65,000. The amount 150,000 has not yet been set forth in evidence. The article sets forth that this jour nal considers the Lutheran schools controlled by this denomination as inferior to the English primary, when that fact has been one of the causes which led to the separation In the Churoh, and a remote cause of this con troversy. The article In the Philadelphia Democrat disproves nothlne, but concludes with a little blunt vulgarism, hoping, no doubt, thereby :ui viva effect to the article. the contents ot which are merely opinions, not wot.

The safes were made expressly for the bank, and composed of hard ened steel and crystallized white iron, in solid mass, two and a half inches thick, and weighs over twelve thousand pounds. The vault in which these safes are placed was completed during the past year, and Is itsolf a masterpiece of impregnability; tho floor, walls, celling, and doors being composed of immense sections of solid chilled and wrought iron, two Inches thick, encased In heavy firo-proof masonry, and resting upon a massive foundation of granite slabs.

A carpet-bag, filled with books, blank checks, etc., was emptied on the floor, and no doubt used to carry off the spoils, as it is missing.

The follow it a editorial from the Keening HulMtn Is of In terest to those engaged in mining specula tions: At the close of our civil war a number of en terprising gentlemen sent out an exploring expedition to Investigate the rich mining terri tory of Arizona. They engaged the services of a practical engineer, with a corns of twenty natives, who traversed carefully all that section of country. On the receipt of his report, they finally made choice of the land which forms the groundwork of the Specio Basis organization. The title for the same vim obtained from the United States, and the deeds therefor are duly recorded on the books of Mohave cou 11 tv, accord ing to law. They were governed in their selec tion by many considerations. The first was that It was further to the southward than other mines previously developed, and the theory of geologists Is that the metalllo veins radiate from thecentre of the earth or tho equator; the nearer, therefore, the proximity to that centre tho greater their value. This theory is fully confirmed by the richness of the mines In Mexico ana Peru. Secondly, the climate was so mild that labor could be carried on without In terruption for all tho twelve months of the year. Thirdly, the site chosen was within fifteen to twenty miles of Hardy vllle, a shipping point on the Colorado river. This, in view of the weighty material to be transported, was indls- pensaoie; as ny ine uolorado, navigable for steamboats and barges, an unlnterriinU-d water communication was at all times within their reach direct to San Franclsoo. Upon the basis of this property, thus Judiciously selectod, the Specie llusis Mining Company was organized, with a cardial of $5,000,000. divided Into SO0.00O shares at $10 each. None of this stock Is for sale: but the Direc tors have determined to set apart 150,000 shares i ,000,000; ot stock, ana jio.ooo in bonds, as iVorking 1 apiiai. anu 10 roiy mainly unon t ie negotiation of their loan. I he manner in which this loan Is to be nego tiated presents features at onoo novel and unique In their character. It is secured by a mortgage on all the Company's property, now acquired or which may be acquired, made to John E. Potter, Esq., of this city, mortgagee In rust for the security or the bondholders. The certificates will be issued for $100 each, with coupons attached, aud bear Interest at the rate of seven and three-tenths percent, per annum, pnynble semi-annually. The S20O.OW bonus are oiterea to subscribers in five lots, subject to different conditions. With the first $50,000, shares are to bo given lu the proportion of 50 to every $100 subscribed, re quiring 25,000 shares. The otllcers state that this hist series is already taken. With the second $50,0iX), shares will bo given In the proportion of 40 to every $100, or 20,000 shares. With the next $50,000, shares In the proportion of 30 to every $100. or 15.000 shares.

In the Globe report of the closlnic debate on the tariff, In which Senator Sherman Is made to do Injustice to Mr. II. N. Klater.of Worcester, Massachusetts, who was alluded to. Mr. Sher man was quoted as sayihsr that Mr. Slater wanted to get his wool duty free, and thai he extolled tn the highest terms the tariff of 1357, which admitted wool free of all duty, regardiug that as the most admirable system that could he devised, because It enabled bim to buy his arti cles without any tariff duty. This, so far as Mr. Slater Is concerned, was a mistake, as that gen tleman has simply expressed his belief that tne present tariff, with the higher duttos Imposed last summer on low-priced wools. Is the best adjustment that can be made between the manufacturers and the wool-growers. In his opinion, the lncreaseof duties on wool lens proposed by the bill now before the House, by adding some thirty to forty1 millions of dol lars per annum to the cost of goods, would in flict a serious injury upon the manufacturing interest, and would consequently injure the wool-growers. Such extravagant duties as are proposed would be evaded, and thus the reveuue would do us no benefit, while the manufactu rer and the wool-grower would be virtually deprived of protection.
