THE ANDOVfR HEREsY TRIAL.
"a Man Can Believe In the AsdeveF
Greed with Believing thc
bible Is Inspired"

BosToN, MASS, December 30.-In
the Andover heresy trial this morning
the Rev. Mr., Blais1ell, one Of the four
accusers, withdrew his nams from the
complaints, saying that he was salts.
fed with Prof. Smyih'S r.ply. When
the triel wss resumed the Hon. Charles
Theodore Russell concluded his ad.
dress for the respondents. FIX. Gov.
Gas on followed for the respondents,
The speaker dwelt on the fact that the
prose cution had coniented itself with
disconnecttd extracts from the de-
tendant's writings, but had failed to
bring in the evidence OF any OF his
pupils or Of any one who had heard
him preach, and touched upon the
grand work being done by the de-
fendsnt. This closed the argument
for the defense. President Seelye
stated that it was understood that the
comp ainants would conclude at about
noon on Friday. Prof. Dwight said
that the accused professors would be
willing, af,er having very few min
utes in which to state their cases, to
rest on the arguments already made.
Then President Seeye said tina.
If possible the other cases
would be taken up Friday
afternoon. If not then, on Monday at
10 am. Judge Asa French then
opened the Argument for the prosecu-
ton and was followed by the Rev. J.
W. Wellman. Mr.. Welman specified
the charges against Prof. Smyth in
detail. We do not believe" he said,
that man can subscribe to the Au-
dover creed ard yet believe that the
Bible is not wholly inspired. That
Prof. smyth does 80 believe we have
abundant proof in his writings. From
these writings 1t Is plain that he holds
new idea of the Bible and OF the
word of God, and one that is not roc.
ognized in the creed OF the Oebgiega-
tional or Of any church." D.. Well
man claimed that the new theology
made out inspiration 10 have been in
the Bible writer's, but not In their
writings, so that as those men were
often in error and sometimes in sin,
religious writings OF the same men,
according to the logical conc usiona OF
the new teachiog, might lead to error,
or even sin. The trial will go on to-
morrow.

TRAIN WRECKERS DOOMED
ONE OF THE ACCUSED MAKES A
CLEAN BREAST
or All the Circumstances OF the
Wrecking Of The Missouri
Pacific Train.

KANSAS Cry, Mo, Dace mber 3d.
In Hamilton's Trial a. Wyandotte this
morning,1,,Mr. Vsssen, one Of the &C
cused, made clean breast CT it, swear
ing 10 the circu instances OF the wreck
ing Of the train as they have been
published hitherto in the newspapers.
He testified that Lloyd pulled the
spikes. sided by Newport, while Ham
ilton, Vsesen and Others stood guard.
Vassen testiied that he went to the
Knights OF Labor Hal in Kansas City,
No., on the night Of April 25th. A
dozen others dropped in during the
evening to get any news of the strike.
About II O'Clock witness went back a
second time TO the hall. Hamilton
was displaying himself to the party In
a disguise Of wig and clothes. Lloyd
eai1 to tie witness: Are you going
with us tonight?'
Witness asked, "WheIeP" Lloyd
replied, "Never mind where; come
and go with us."
Soon after all went down and took q
drink: then eight Of the party-Ham-
il,on, Lloyd, Newport, Gser;, Laary,
Riggs, Warner and the witness, set cut
together. The party separated into
two Equals and repaired TO the river
crossing over the Sixth street bridge,
Hamilton wearing his disp uise. When
| they reached the curve on the railroad
track at about 2 O'Clock they halted
and Lloyd begsn 10 pull up the spikes.
Witness wanted them TO 90 further
along IL they must do the job. He
objects d to pulling the spikes on the
curve fer fear it would kill the whole
crew on the train. Lloyd said; Damn
them, want to kill the whole crew. "
Hamilton and VasseR then went fur
Their north aud mounted guard and
Geers and Lesry went in the other di-
Iectlon. Riggs aud Warner in the
meantime had deserted them. Saw
eral shots wers fred at a passing
train from the bluff above just before
the party set to work, and witness
and Hamilton wanted 10 give the
thing up, but Lloyd said it should go
through. While witness and Bamil-
ton were standing guard Lloyd came
up and eaid the thing was done. New
port than threw the crowbar into the
river and the party scattered for home
and witness went to bod. Witness
saw Hamilton a day or two sfterward,
and the latter said: "Keep quiet
there are lots of Pinkerton men
around"
The cross examination did not shake
Vassen's testimony. His appearance
gave the impression that he had been
led into the plot rather againVt his
will, and had now made mp his mind
to tell the whole story Just as it oc-
cured.
He was questioned somewhat as to
any possible forekno Wedge Of the
crime by the members of the lodge in
general, but nothing was ELECTED
showing that any per ons were
parties to it except those already
named. The testimony, however, in
dicates by inference that the matter
had besn talked about by those who
had been in the hall on the night In
question.
Hamilton's wife and little child ara
in attendance at court, and the latter
eat upon its fathers knee during the
day.

PENSION NONSENSE.

Since it passed the notable promiscu-
GUS and universal pension bill, it is felt
that the U. S. Senate has completely
lost its head in the matter of public ex
penditures. The bill gives pensions to
all soldiers of the Union Army, who
enlisted for three months, if they are
from any cause, now dependent upon
their own exertion for support. While
discussing this subject, Senator Voorhees,
thought it might be we'll to consider
how much the enactment of such legis-
latiop would take out of the Treasury.
He was not opposed to any reasonable
pension measure, but expressed desire
to know where he was going before he
went. Senator ingalls, was not at al
bothered on this score. He did not care
how much a measure cost the Govern
ment, he said provided he was convinced
that it was just one. And in that rasp-
ing sarcastic style which he affects, he
criticized the distinguished Senator from
Indiana for stopping to count the cost.
The Republican Senator's plan may have
been a pretty one in the abstract, but
Senator Voorhees, idea was more in
sympathy with the spirit OF the country
that is become more practical and bust
ness-like every day. Much has been
said about the failure of the present
Congress to accomplish anything, but
there is little doubt that the House Of
Representatives will defeat this fantastic
pension scheme. BY thus checking the
extravaganza of the Republican Senate,
the Democratic House will make a
record for which all people, except the
would be pensioners, will be grateful,

cR1M1NALLY NEGLIGENT.

On Saturday last Postofice Inspector
Small arrived in Bozeman, accompanied
by R. n Hawkins, late postmaster Of
Pony Hawkins was at once brought
before United States Commissioner Nc
Pherson, charged with negligence and
incorporation of the sum Of $500.
while postmaster. The prisoner waived
an examination and was conducted to
jail, where he now remains, in the alb
sence of $1,000 bail, which he is required
to give-Sl. 900 on each charge. From
the meagre reports aAoat we learn that
Hawkins last winter made an assign
ment for the benefit Of few creditors,
among whom was Henry Filing of Vir-
ginia City. He has since kept the post
Office, and as demands were made upon
him, paid them from the post Office
receipts. His bondsmen, of course, viii
be held good for all loss sustained, and
when the matter is brought before the
next grand jury, there may be extenu-
ating circumstances connected with the
case that win relieve Nj. Hawkins Of
any odium and all criminality.
