CHATTANOOGA, May 2l-In the South
ern Presbyterian general assembly to-day
the committee TO whom was referred the
consideration OF the report of the committee
on q conference with the northern church
recommended the adoption Of the report as
a whole. The report was adopted.
The row over the evolution theories of
DIR. James Woodrow came up again in the
afternoon A year ago the Baltimore
assembly decided that evolution as taught
by Woodrow was contrary TO the standard
of the church. After this decision
the Charleston Presbytery passed a resOlu-
ton forbidding all public discussion tending
against the decision of the assembly. The
synod OF South Carolina declared this ac-
ton unwlse. irregular and unconstitutional.
This precipitated the fight in the general
assembly. The committee to day recon-
mended that the action of the state synod
be approved, so far as IL declared the action
of the Charleston Presbytery unwise, but
this was approved in so far as il declared
that the action was irregular and uncon-
stItutionaL. This report was called at z ID.
N. for discussion and an hours excited de-
bate followed, as to limiting speeches. etc.
The assembly during this time much re-
sembled q political convention. Finally
an allotment was agreed upon and speeches
were made pro and cUu.

Tbs Man Killed in the saw Mil owns
Property. But l. Unknown.
The body of U. J. Kellogg, who was
killed Monday by falling on buzz saw at
HartwelI's mill, was brought TO this city
yesterday. Judge Sanders. who went 70
the scene to hold an inquest, concluded IL
was unnecessary, owing 20 the fact that
the accident was witnessed by q number
OF people, and the judge did not care 70 put
the county 10 expense.
The remains are at present in Sennets
undertaking establishment and will be
buried to-day 1t has transpired that the
dead mans name is not Kellogg, but what
u Is no one knows. No papers or
be used 70 identify the man
could be found anywhere, al
though he is known to have doc
uments concealed somewhere He
worked in Ry Zeigler's stable for about
four years, and had been st Hartwelrs saw
mill about year. He was a very saving
man, and hardly ever spent any money
above his necessary expenses. 1t happened
while he was in Helena, about six weeks
ago, he met Mr.. Zeigler and told him that
his name was not Kellogg. He has q
daughter going TO sch9Ol somewhere In
Michigan. Mr.. Zeigler paid but little at
tention 10 what the man said, and cannot
recall what name he gave. Kellogg was
known 10 have had money in one of the
Helena banks and was the owner
of five city lots, which he bought
at auction several years ago;
the money in bank and deeds to the lots
are deposited and made out In his true
name. Mr.. ZelgleT looked over the records
yesterday and called at one OF the banks,
but in neither place did he find the name,
q. j. Kellogg. Mr.. Zeigler also believes
that the deceased's initials are 80. J !" and
may possibly be transpOsed; he thought.
but would not be positive, that the name
was Smith.
There Is some mystery surrounding the
mani career which may possibly be un-
raveled when his identity is known While
he never told the circumstances, when
asked by Mr. Zelgler why he changed hts
trouble in Michigan and left the country
under the name Of Kellogg. He lived az
Miles City awhile and owned q house and
lot there, which be afterwarda sold.

testified before the Parnell commission and
gave the details of agrarian outrages in
Tipperary prior to the organization of the
league- He said the league prevented
famine and war in the west of Ireland in
1870; that no murders had been committed
in Tipperary since its formation.
O'Brien stated that he approved of boy
cotting because he believed Il prevented
crime. Reid, of counsel for the Parnell-
ties, read an article from United Ireland
denOuncing the Phoenix Park murders and
asserting that the assassIns, II discovered,
would be more likely TO be lynched in Dub
lin than in London o. 'BrieD said the an
ger expressed in the article was undoubt-
edly genuine. The view OF the natiOnalists
was that the government should pursue a
policy of Cancellation and thus obtain the
people,s sYmpathies with the law.
