BODY FELL OVERBOARD

Traffic Situation is Not so Seri?
ous?The Plan for a.Line from
Frndericksburg to Norfolk.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
NORFOLK, VA.. Juno ??.--With a heavy
wheel Jack, Isaac Parry, a tlretiian on
the tug Pannie M. Gilbert, was murdered
tl-.ls aiiernoon on Taylor's wharf.
The skull was crushed, and the dying
man toppled over Into the water and dis?
appeared. As the dastard deed was done
In plain view, the horrified people rushed
to save the man from a watery grave,
and so let the murderer escape. When
the dead body was recovered the man
?with the stick had disappeared.
Parry had gotten a Job on the tug thin
morning.
While the nature of the auercauon is
not known, there was a war of words.
According to an eye witness, there was
but one blow, and that caught the unfor?
tunate man In the head, blotting out the
epark of life. It was all over In a min?
ute, but the body lay In the slip nearly
twenty minutes before It was lished out
and taken to the morgue.
Detectives hurried rapidly to the scene
to get any fresh clue. His slayer wns
named Willis, a fireman on the tug Con?
queror. The dead man wee about? twenty
flvo years old.
MORE BOATS STARTED.
The ferryboat Twin City started to-day.
It was not running between Berkley and
Portsmouth yesterday because of the dis?
agreement between the marine engineers
and the owners. It Is said, too, that the
?s'euse and the Ocracoke. on the Albemarle
Bound, had started. At tha postofllce there
?was no delay In any of the malls dis?
patched from here except In the cases of*
the Hathews county and Gloucester
routes.
The Old Dominion boats are aoverusea
not to make tho usual trips, and the malls
arc dispatched by West Point, thereby
causing a little delay. No other boats
are reported as off or on that were not
reported yesterday, and the situation Is
not seriously affecting malls or freights.
The Cape Charles route Is open to the
mails as usual, and they have been dis?
patched, despite the fact that nothing
definite was given out yesterday, nnd the
SNfflcials resented questions.
DIVIDEND IN MILLER CASE.
The first tangible return from the Mlch
clsohn series of bankruptcies has come
from the B. Miller estate. D. Lawrence.
Groner, tho referee, announces that thore
is a dividend of five per cent., or about
$3,000 gross, In the B. Miller case. The
debts are over $70,000 In that case,? heneo
the returns are not large to those who
had real losses. The MI(/helsohn case Is
still pending In the courts, with a feeble
attempt to find assets which are not tan?
gible.

ASSEHBLY AFTERMATHS
Proposed Change of One of the Stand
arda ofthe Confession of Faith.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlepatch.)
LEXINGTON, VA., June 2.-The roeet
inc of th? General Assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian Church, whloh
closed a ten-days' session in Lexington
last Saturday evening, was royally en?
tertained while here.
The Assembly Is tho highest court of the
Presbyterian Church; hence the members
of that body are the most distinguished
ministers and laymen of the denomina?
tion, ?i ?'.??, ;'"?'!
The "-ecognlzed' leaders on the floor of
the Assembly who took an active part In
the discussion of questions before the body
?were Rev. W. A. Alexander, D. D., of
Clarksvllle, Tenn., tho stated clerk of the
Assembly; Rev. T. E Convergo. D. D.. of
Jjoulsvllle, Ky.. the distinguished editor
of the "Christian Observer ; Rev. J. R.
Graham, D. D., of Winchester, Va., a for?
mer moderator; Rev. W. T. Hall, D. D.,
of Columbia, S. C, the retiring modera?
tor; Rev. W, H. Marquess, D. D., of
Louisville, Ky.; Rev. J. T. Plunkett, D.
D., of Augusta, Ga.; Rev. James P. Smith,
D. D., of Richmond, Va., the able editor
of the "Central Presbyterian"; Rev. R. A.
Webb, D. D., of Clarksvllle, Tenn. Among

D. D?, of Mobile, Ala.; Rov. William Ir?
vine, D. D.. of Bowling Green. Ky,, and
the venerable Dr. W. M. McPheeters,
of St- Louis, Mo.
The most serious question before the
Aflsembly was a proposed change In ono
of the standards of the Confession of
Faith. Tho first reference to the question
was in the form of an overture from
the Presbytery of Now Orleans, asking
that no proposition be considered hy tho
?V?sembly looking to any change In tho
Confession of Faith. The Committee on
Bill? and Overtures, wlilrh reported the
matter lo the Assembly, mado no recom?
mendation, except that Ilio overturn b<>
returned unanswered to the Presbytery
of ..Vew OrleniiH. This report provoked
considerable discussion, which at ? linns
was exciting- One member declared Hint
to rnfiiso to even consider any proposition
looking to any change In the confession
would be to claim perfection for tlmt
book, and thus pince It alongside <,f tho
Bible. No man-made book was infami,lo
he asserted.
