dark while this burlesqne was going on
that the players could not be seen from the
grand stand. Attendance, 500.

8 and 5; errors, and L; batteries, Fore
man and Mcclure, Healy and Townsend; !;

WORK BEGINS
On the Case of DIR. Briggs Before the New
York Presbytery.


New YORK, October 5.-At the semi
annual meeting of the New York Pres
bytery, held this morning in the Scotch
Presbyterian Church, in West Four
teenth street, Rev. John G. Bliss, pastor
of the Washington Heights Presbyte-
rian Church, presided as moderator.
The Prosecuting Committee appointed
to prepare papers III the trial of Prof.
Chas. A. Briggs presented it's report.
The charges are: "Unbelief in the Bible
as the only true source of divine author
ity.
"Disbelief in the verbal inspiration
and inherrancy of the scriptures.
'Disbeliei in the immediate sanctif-
cation at the death Of the souls OF those
dying in the faith.
The Presbytery must decide whether
Prof. Briggs shall be tried. 1t has the
power TO quash the indictment. Prof
Briggs moved that his case be taken up
in the afternoon but the motion was de-
feated. The routine business was in
progress when DR.. George Alexander, of
the University Place, asked to preseLta
resolution in the Briggs matter.
DR.. Alexander in giving his reasons
for asking for suspension, said the res
oiution was to the effect that the Pres
bytery in view of later declara-
tions of Prof. Briggs, deemed 1t
expedient to arrest further proceedings.
Several members protested against DR..
Alexander's resolution, and at 1 o'clock
an adjournment was taken until 2
o'clock.
When the Presbvtery reconvened DIR.
Alexander withdrew his motion. The
reading of the report then followed.
The report says thatit has been de-
cided that DR.. Briggs scheme of Biblical
theology is calculated to weaken con-
idence in the word of God. The COM
mittee Is not unmindful of the fact that
erroneous utterances Of DR.. Briggs have
seriously disturbed the peace OF the
church. The doctrine enunciated by
DR.. Briggs Is contrary to the Scriptures
and the standards of the Presbyterian
Church.
The aye and nay vote was taken on
DIR. Alexander's substitute amid good
deal of excitement. The vote showed
that DR.. Alexander had been defeated
by two votes.
