THE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION.
;HE PREsBYTERY or BRUNSWICK DECLARE
AGAINST TliE PROPOSED REVISION.

;nE PREsBYrERY or BRUNSWICK DECLARE
AGAINST TliE PROPOSED REVISION.
The Presbytery Of the New Brunswick, at
IT'S annual meeting in New Brunswick n. j.,
discussed the proposed revision of the West
minister Confession Of Faith. The New
brunswick Presbytery embraces in its
boundaries Princeton College and Seminary,
and the members of the faculties of both
were present in force to take part in the dis
cussion. Ex-Prcsident McCosh expressed
himself wholly in favor of revision. There is
danger" he said, 'in stirring mp this mat
ter, but there is more danger in ignoring it or
postponing it. The movement in favor OF
revision has has been pushed very earnestly
by the young men, and IL will assuredly be
pushed in the future. Revision seems likely
| TO come and If 1t must come it is better that
| there should be no hcsitancy but that the
! movement should be guided by the older
and more conservative men, and guided
courageously and openly. 1t may be doubted
/ If some passages are contained in the Word
of God. Now, in logic it is law that there
shall be nothing in the conclusion for which
there is not foundation in the premise,
hence what is not in the Word OF God must
not be in the Confession"
Among the other speakers were DR.. Daft
field, Of Princeton, who made the principal
argument for revision, speaking from the
historical point OF view as well as theologi
cal. DR.. Wariieli, OF Princeton Seminary
professor Of theology, opposed revision OF
lhc ground that the present Confession wa
the correct expression OF the general senti
ment of the church and satisfactory inter
pretatior of the scriptural faith if itsel
properly interpreted. Others opposed to re
, vision were Drs. Hodge, Dodge, Green AM
Swan. The Presbytery applied in the mega
tive 10 the overture OF the General Assembly
asking whether it favored a revision of til
9 Confession, thirty-four voting against re
e vision aud sixteen for it.

THAT AWFUL VENDETTA.
THE HATFIELD-M'CoY FEUD REHEwED-A
bride, GEOON AND MINISTER snOr.

THE HATFIELD-MCoY FEuD HEHEwED-A
BRIDE, GROOM AND MINISTER SHOT,
The old Hatheld.McCoy feud has broken
out again, and at least three more lives have
been sacrificed in the bloody vendetta which
has now lasted over seven years. The shoot
ing occurred at a marriage at the farm house
of Peter Mccoy. His daughter
was to become the wife of John
Hand, relative of the Hatfield gang, and
members of both factions had sworn to pre-
vent the union. Hand had never been con-
nected with the disputes of the factions, and
refused TO recognize the leaders, Tuesday
night the bridal party assembled in Mccoy 4
house, and just as young Hand and Miss
Mccoy stood before the minister volley
was poured through a window, which killed
both of them and fatally wounded the min
lister. Reports say that the farmers anc
mountaineers are looking for the murdcrers,
but no trace of them have been found.

News comes from Wilson county, Tenn

HELENA VIGtLANTES.

The figures "3.7-77," the warning of v g.
lantes to hard cases, were chalked on street
corners and printed in the evening papers Of
Helena, Mont, Thursday.
This call for return to the methods Of
early days was occssioned by the dscov-
cry of four fires in as many houses
the night before, in the heart OF the bus-
ness section. All the fires were put ont be-
fore serious damage was done, and in each
case 1t was found that rags had been satura-
ted with oil and hred. The inccndiaries
are evidently the same gang who have been
in Northwest towns during the summer, and
to whom the big fire in Butte, last Sunday
is attributed. The city is patrolci by special
noics.

THE WEEKS BUSINESS.
VOLUME OF OPERATIONS CHECK I'D BY A CLOSER
MONEY MARKET.

VOLUME OF OPERATIONS CHECKED BY A CLOSER
MONEY MARKET.
r. g. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade
says:
A closer money market as was anticipat-
ed last week, has checked operations tosome
extent. The shipment Of 81, 10000 gold to
Europe by firm engaged in placing two
large loans for foreign Governments, and
therefore nxious to prevent further advance
in Bank of England rates, was all the clearer
evidence of the actual demand. because made
at as mailer loss than reckoncd at the current
rate Of exchange. A sudden fall in the rate
from 81 IS to 81 SGl was followed by an up
ward movement again. and it seems not inn
probable that the exigencics of the Argentine
Republic and the placing of the Russian loan
may for some time to come affect the money
market here. october disbursements and
moderate purchases of bonds have made the
market easier for the present, but the rate
on call, after rising from 81 to 8 per cent,
rose even to 80 per cent.
The reports of business from all parts OF
the country show increased activity on the
whole, though in some branches trade is not
up 10 the September level. Chicago finds
business larger than year ago, with heavy
country orders showing a large demand and
easy financ Il condition throughout the
West. The years receipts of cereals fall off
little, but Of provisions are nearly doubled.
Cleveland finds all branches improving, aud
factories full of orders. Pittsburgh notes
higher prices for iron aud steel, the glass
busincs active. with works all operating, and
the coal trade dull, waiting water for the
river movement. Throughout the West cx-
celent crops are the basis Of large buying by
the farming districts, and confident hopes
as 10 the trade for the rest of the
year Bank exchanges for September show
an increase over last year of only per cent
at New York, y per cent at Boston, Phila'
dalphil and Chiclgo, and II per cent at all
other cities taken together.
The iron business is in some danger OF
running into an unhealthy BOOM 50
great is the anxiety Of many to stimulate
the demand.
The Sugar Trust seems not unlikely TO
follow the copper syndicate AMI the cotton
corner - least rs far as prices are concerned.
Raw sugar is lower the demand for con
sumption being slack, AMI meanwhile
heavy sales of Sugar Trust stock have dc
pressed the price to about 0 cents Cottor
Oil Trust Is also heavily sold aud dcclinco
sharply. Tin is lower at 2Otc andlcad quiet
at $50.

COVERS ALL CASES.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING SEIZURES
IN DEHRlNG SEA.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING SEIZURES
~ DEHRlSG SEA.
Judge Sawyer of san Francisco, has rend-
cred decision which covers the cases of all
sealers seized in Berhing Sea.
In 1887 the Sealing schooner San Diego,
owned by l.. n. Handy, was seized by the
cutter Rush and ordered to Sitka. She went,
and nearly 600 skins were condemned,
brought here by Marshal Atkins and sold.
Handy tried to enjoin the sale here on the
ground that Alaskan Court orders did not
hold but Judge Sawyer overruled this. The
same principal involved in this decision
holds in the cases of the two sealers that
came here instead OF going to Stka. II Is
also claimed that it implies 10 all seizures by
the Rush this year, as orders will hold good
no matter where the seized vessel have tsker
refuge.

HAMILTON WANTS A DIVORCE,
ROBERT RAY SUES FOR AN ANNuLLMENT OF

ROBERT RAY SUES FOR AN ANNuLLMENT OF
THE TIES THAT BIND HIM To EVA.
Robert Ray Hamilton began an action for
divorce from his wife. Evangeline Hamil-
ton, who is now at Mays Landing, j.,
awaiting transportation for the crime Of as
sauling Nurse Mary Ann Donnelly. The
suit Is brought for the annuilment of the
marriage on the ground of fraud.
Mr.. Hamilton, in referring to his mar
riags, says that his wife's maiden name was
Evangeline L. Steele, and .hat they were
married January 7, 1889. His consent to the
marriage was obtained through the defend
ants representation in March, 1888, that she
was about TO become a mother. In the same
year. between December IL and January l6,
he received letters from Elmira, n. Y, rep
resenting that she had been delivered Of
child. January 9, the day before the mar
riage, q female child was presented TO
the plaintiff az his own. The relations
existing between the plaintiff and the
woman prior to the marriage were such that
her representations might have been true.
But for these representations the plaintiff
would not have married her.
Hamilton says he now has good reason:
TO believe that the womens representations
were false and that the child was foistcd up
on him. 1t was in August of this year that
he first became convinced Of the deception
praticed upon him, and since that time h'
has not waived any Of his righ by cohabit
ing with her. by way Of complaint, tn,
