The benefit rendered to Officer John j.
Grogan at Ming's opera house last night was
one of the most successful affairs of the kind
held in Helena. Every seat in the house was
taken. The receipts were 1887, and as the
expenses are very light the wounded officer
will receive a substantial token from the
citizens of Helena of their appreciation of
his fidelity. MI. Grogan's brother officers
are entitled to great credit for their efforts
in promoting the benefit. To the Helena

praise cannot be given. It was an

The resignation of DR.. John Hall
from his connection with the affairs OF
Union Theological seminary of New
York was as Indicative as it was unex-
pected. Our eastern contemporaries are
quite unanimous in thinking that DR..
Halls action means his belief, that DR..
Briggs, while not altogether orthodox,
is not a hereto and should not be driven
from the church. DR.. Halls position in
the Presbyterian church is SO command
ing and his influence SO great as to give
reasons for believing that his late action
may result in practically ending the case
of the plaintiff against DR.. Briggs.
