from the congressional election in

Of Jolley, Republican, to congress, by

had been claimed and conceded for
him. In fact that is one point of the
election thus far made evident. The
Democrats did little campaign work,
but i'll many counties their vote eX-

junk man called out to the crew of

PROFESSOR BRIGGS ON TRIAL.
He Takes Exceptions to the Charges Made
Against Him.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-The New
York Presbytery assembled this
morning in the Scotch Presbyterian
church on Fourteenth street, near
Sixth Avenue, for the purpose Of be-
ginning the trial of Prof. Chas. A.
Briggs, on charge Of heresy, based
upon language used by him in his in
augural address in Union Theological
seminary. DR.. John c. Bliss presided
as moderator, and called the Presby-
terry to order. There was a full at
tendance.
One of the chief charges against DR..
Briggs is that he disputed the &C
curacy of the Bible. Professor Briggs
read a paper Directing to the form of
the charges preferred, stating that
the report of the committee which
formulated the Indictment against
him charges offenses which are not
proposed for trial. The committee
charges him with uttering doctrinal
teachings respecting miracles, the
original condition of man, etc., with
out attempting to prove its charges.
This, DR.. Briggs said, did him great
injustice, and was apt to prejudice
the decision Of the members. He
said if he had caused widespread
anxiety il the church, he was sorry
but in his conscience he felt no guilt
as regards disturbing the peace and
harmony of the church. He further
added that the charges were general
and obscure and irregular in form
throughout, There is nothing in the
specifications that can be tested by
the defendant. He admitted the ex-
cerpts from his address made Oh the
occasion of his inauguration as Pro-
fessor of Biblical Theology in the
Union Theological Seminary. The facts |
upon which to sustain these charges |
are missing in the Indictment as
for instance. there was nothing to |
deny that the Bible as book is paper, |
print 7ud binding, nothing more. II /

fact that she is also on her way to the

Of repair on the Newark at Boston is

Town After Battle.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Nov. 1 A courier
brings news of most daring attack
on mining town in the northeastern
part of the state which occurred on
the second of last month. In the
battle two men were killed and five
wounded while the robbers succeeded
in getting goOdly amount of spOils
from the people. 1t has been known
for some time that the hills along the
northern border of the state were the
headquarters of a band of horse
thieves and outlaws, but little atten-
ton was paid them by the people Of
that section, for they have confined
their depredatiOns to other parts of the
country. About two o'clock in
the afternoon, while the majority of
the male portion of the town was
away to their claims working. Seven
men rode into town, stopping at the
store of James Robinson and rObbing
him of all the money and ammunition
in the place. They left guard there
and proceeded to go through the town,
robbing every store and house on the
way. When they had about COM
pleted the job two men happened to
come to town for powder and, seeing
the state of affairs, opened fire on the
outlaws, which brought on a pitched
battle with the result that two of the
robbers were killed at the first fire
and two others were wounded.
AS soon as the firing began Robin
son was shot by the man guarding
him, but his wound did not prevent
him from taking hand in the fight. |
Walter Wilson and john Doubleday |
were also wounded, but not fatally.
The robbers succeeded in carrying off
800 in money and goods. An organ
lied movement is now talked of by |
the people who are in danger of their
raids

IOWA.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. 4.-Thirty-
four counties complexion Iowa, out of a
total Of 81 in the state, gives Boies,
Democrat, for governor, a plurality
over Wheeler, Republican, of 1905.
The same counties in 1889 caves BOies
a plurity of 1910, making n net gain
this year of 233l
The remaining counties gave BOies
a plurality in 1889 Of 5243, which would
indicate the claim Of the Democratic
state central committee this afternoon
that the state would give Boies a
plurality OF from 5000 to 10000. The
majority will be sustained by the re-
turns when all are in. The Rebubli-
can gain in the country districts is
not as large as the first indications
promised.
The Republican candidate for lieut.
enant governor is running ahead of
his ticket and some Republicans en-
courage the Republicans to believe
that he may vet win. The IegisIa-
ture, it is believed, will be tie i'm the
senate and a Republican majority of
four in the house. The Republicans,
however, claim majority in both
houses. The Democrats have elected
the railroad commissioners beyond a
doubt. Chairman Mack, this evening,
