The CRur d,Alene Excursion,

Secretary Walker and j. B. Sanford, of
the board of trade executive committee,
were busy all day yesterday at the board of
trade rooms sending out invitations for the
excursion to the Coeur d'Alenes rendered to
the business men of Helena by the North
ern Pacific road. About 300 people will
probably be on the train when it leaves
here Wednesday at Z a. m. The number of
excursionists is limited to 375, but it is not
thought that that many will 90. The estab-
lishment of direct rail connection with the
CHur d'Alene may, however, create a desire
with a good nan people here to visit the
mining region, and the board of trade Ok
ecutive committee may find itself Hooded
with applications. Agent Edgar telegraphed
to st. Paul on Saturday for the purpose Of Sc
curing a dining car to accompany the excur-
sion train. There are sixteen diners on the
road, fourteen being in constant use be-
tween st. Paul and Portland. Two are held in
reserve in case of accident. 1t is one of
these reserve diners that MIR. Edgar is en-
deavoring to secure and if it can be- brought
to Helena in time it will be attached to the
excursion train. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Ed
gar will be able to get the car. The o
into the Cceur d'Alenes is a new one and
there are not yet any facilities for feeding a
large number of people.

The usual number of fishermen went
over the range yesterday and spent the day
whipping the trout streams this side OF

sportsmen is afforded by the Northern Pa
ciGo, which stops its trains between sta
tons for them. Fisherman say the best
sport just now is to be had on the Dear
BORN river.

Business Transacted at Its Recent Meeting
Prof. Briggs Case Considered.
AT the recent meeting of the presbytery OF
Washington city Rev. William A Bartlett, d. D.,
was elected commissioner to the general as
sembly, with Rev. j. William McIiraine, alter
nate, Hon. William Strong, elder. with Hon.
Chas. Sigman, alternate. The overture of the
assembly on the methods of amending the con-
stitution was answered in the affirmative. The
first part Of the overture on deaconesses was
answered in the affirmative and the second part
In the negative. A paper was adopted asking
the general assembly to inquire if the election
of Prof. Briggs in the Union Theological Semi
nary was in accordance with the compact be-
tween it and the various theological seminaries
in the filling of professorships; and also whether
the views published by Prof. Briggs are in ac-
of the Presbyterian church. An overture was
a change in the form of government as will
empower the session of each church which may
desire TO select and appoint Cody women for
the care OF the poor and sick. of poor widows
and orphaTis, and for all such ministrations to
bodily and spiritual need as may properly come
within their sphere. From the report of the
stated clerk of presbytery to the general assem-
bly, 1t appears that there are i'll connection with
the presbytery 80 ministers, u churches, 5,S07
communicates, 156 additions during the year,
7.l23 Sabbath school members. S114,534,
amount Of contributions for all purposes.

An Exciting Encounter in Front of a Flor
Hotel.

An Exciting Encounter in Front of Florida
Hotel.
A shooting ARRAY took place on the piazza Of
the Leon Hotel at Tallahassee Saturday after
noon between S. S. Harvey of Pensacola and
]. E. Alexander of Deland. Harvey has been
one of the active workers for John F. Dunn in
his contest for the United States senatorship
and Alexander has been at the capital in CALI g
interest
Harvey was seated on the piazza when
Alexander came up the steps with W. H.
Clark, ex-postmaster of Jacksonville. Harvey
beckoned to Alexander to walk down the porch
with him. Harvey had heard that Alexander
had reported that he (Harvey) had boosted
that there was $3.50, 900 in hand at Tallahassee
with which to defeat Call. and he asked Alex
ander If he had circulated this story adding
that he did not propose to let him or any other
man tell lies about him. Alexander asked if
Harvey meant to call him a liar, and upon
Harvey's replying Eyes," he struck Harvey q
blow on the left temple.
Then both men drew their pistols simulta-
neously. Harvey fired, Clark struck his arm up,
and the ball missed Alexander. Alexander
turned and ran, and Harvey fired second shot
at him as he passed through the door, Clark,
still struggling with Harvey, then ran to the
door and fired q third shot at Alexander as the
latter disappeared through the back door of the
Office leading to the barber shop. None of the
shots took effect, with the exception of a spent
ball, which hit Albertus Vogt in the foot, doing
but slight injury.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If the statement in a morning paper that the
expansion joint in the steam pipe which ex-
pioded is composed of thin copper sheet cor
rugate1 circumferentially SO as to cause the
metal to buckle and give with the alterations of
temperature, be true, it would seem to call for
a rigid invsstigation on the part of the Secre-
tary; and more especially SO, if as stated, these
expansion JOINTS were designed by "a board of
naval engineers"
If such appliances are embodied in our new
naval vessels designed by navy engineers or
boards, they will prove more destructive to our
own men than to the enemy; and do not won
der that your reporter was denied information
to their construction. 1t is simply astound-
ing to any one at all familiar with the use of
steam under high pressure, that such contriv-
ance should have been tolerated for moment,
and still more so. that 1t should have been rec
commended by a board of naval engineers. Can
it be possible that this is a sample Of the steam
engineering taught at the Naval Academy or
practiced on board our naval vessels? II so, it
is high time there was q change.
IL is just as easy to make sliding expansion
joint OF the full or even greater strength than
the main pipe as it is to fit a sliding piston to
the cylinder IN a steam engine, and there would
seem to be no excuse whatever for this defective
plan and its consequent serious results.
