German Branch-The Lu.herans.

NEW YORK, June 0.-For three hours
the directors of the Union Theological
seminary sat in secret session discussing
the case Of DIR. Briggs. A resolution
was adopted at the meeting upholding
the former action Of the directors re.
garding the transfer of DR.. Briggs from
the Davenport professorship of Hebrew
to the new Edward Bishop professor.
ship of Biblical Theology. The resolu.
tion is as fellows:
Resolved, That the board of directors,
after having taken legal advice and after
due consideration, see no reason to change
their minds on the subject of the transfer
Of DIR. Briggs. and feel bound in the d.
rection of their duties under their charter
and constitution to adhere to the same.
"That is ALL" said Treasurer Kings
ley, 'sthat we can make public of the
meeting with the exception that there
were two dissenting votes upon the
passage Of the resolution. The other
points are deferred until we hear from
the general assembly,"
The fact that struggle was in pro-
gress behind closed doors was evident
when Professor George A. Prentiss
staggered out into the hall after the dis
cussion had been under way for two
hours and nearly sank to the floor
through weakness brought on by over
excitement. The venerable professors
body shook like a leaf and hehad to be
assisted to private room until he had
recovered. Then Dr.. Tasting left his
place in the meeting and accompanied
tho professor TO his home. Only one
ballot was taken On the resolution and
the vote stood 20 to in favor of its
passage. The directors of the seminary
express their ignorance as to the duties
of the committee Of fifteen appointed
by the general assembly, but say that
they will receive them with all the
courtesy possible when they visit the
city. Il is evident now in the face of
the present action of the seminary
directors that the visit of tho general
assembly committee will be useless,

The East End rresbvter,an..

P1TTsBuRa, June Cat the afternoon
session Of the Reformed Presbyterian
Synod Rev. McAllister continued his
arguments. He stated that the Pitts
burg, Presbytery had always maintained
discipline Of the church, and had done
slider some of the charges preferred
against the Presbytery," said the
speaker. 1.-The Presbytery is charged
with having O tschene' to obtain evil
dence. do not believe it is necessary to
speak Of this point. think the integ-
rity Of the men constituting the Synod
is sufficient to repudiate the assertion
and insinuation that we had scheme.
The one controlling purpose was to
bring about reconciliation" He spoke
at lenth in regard to an alleged
breach of confidence with which
he was accused. The Rev. n. w.
Temple, one of those who attended the
East End meeting and who was secre-
tary, told DIR. McAllister that an organ
ization had been formed. This was told
in confidence, but subsequently the seal
of codfdence was removed by the Rev.
MIR. Temple himself. The speaker then
said: "In connection with this, one
member before the Presbytery held in
rs have asno here paper Sworn nn0 afdsSit ss1ai
from Rev. j. F. Carson of New
York, that there was no organization
formed at the East End meeting. How
are we To reconcile these two state
ments? One says there was an organi-
cation formed and one has an affidavit
that there was not. There must have
been an organization, because the plat
form was printed and Mr.. Temple told
me they were securing signatures. I
assert that until the affidavit and min.
utes of the East End meeting are put
upon this table shall insist that that
organization was secret organization.
The speaker referred to the fact that
the presbytery did not wrongly impute
the intentions of the young men to
break up tho church. He spoke of the
distressed condition Of several churches,
and said that they were torn up because
some in the church had been guilty of
following divisive courses. The speaker
read several verses from the Scripture
and Confessions to prove that the
opinions of the young men were erron-
eous and were destructive to the doc
trines Of the church; that their promul-
cation would divide and overthrow the
church. DR.. McAllister win continue

Treasury surnlu. Very low.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-The net sur
plus in the treasury is $5,oOO.OOO, q
smaller surplus than has been in the
treasury within the memory of the old
est officials. To increase this surplus
Secretary Foster has called in So, 600, 600
Of deposits from national banks. The
call reads: The secretary of the treasury
has this day called upon a number Of
national bank repositories to transfer
to the sub-treasury a portion of the
amount of public moneys held by them
and not needed for the transaction of
public business. These banks, which
are mostly known as surplus banks, !"
had been notified by the late Secretary
Window, and had previously trans
ferred the amount of two calls made by
him. The amount to be transferred on
or before June 80, 1891, under this call
is about $3,O00,000. 1t is probable that
other calls will be from time to time on
these and other national repositories un-
til their holdings shall have been re.
duced to about the amount needed to be
kept Herewith for the proper tfnnsuc-
tion Of current public business.

when it is remembered that every tene-

faucets for obtaining water are all inside
the houses, and that about ten per cent

of sewage per capita is unavoidable.

Sanitary questions are now the most
vital ones with which cities, villages and
hamlets have to deal. And these ques-

IMPORTANCE OF SEWERAGE.
When any territory becomes densely
settled, like Massachusetts, people read
lily begin to see and understand the
necessity of preventing the pollution of
streams and lakes with sewage, and that
commonwealth is graphing with this
subject in way that must lead other
States, very soon, to make it one of
State if not of national interest and
action. Just what ought to be done with
sewage is by no means settled question,
each locality presenting it's peculiar
problems for solution. But one thing is
we'll understood and that is, that sewage
ought not to be allowed to go into lakes
and streams. Among the methods of
disposal, and the one of which it is the
chief object of this article to speak, is
that of land publication 1t is an old
process, traces of it being found in the
ruins of ancient Nineveh.
THE GROWTH OF A TOWN.
Here, for the first time in the building
of cities, the drainage and sewerage
preceded the population. The ordinary
small city is d haphazard collection of
buildings, whose inartistiC forms and re-
lati0ns would, as likely as not, be i'm
proved by an earthquake. The inhab-
itants of such places, at the outset, have
no more ideas or knowledge of sanitary
needs than Laplanders, and not until
the whole soil Of the place becomes sat
urated with the accumulated filth OF
years, and an epidemic improves society
by removing the pachyderms and am
phbious bipeds, and with them some
whose lives could not well be spared, do
those who are left realize the necessity
of sewerage, and adopt some imperfect
and inadequate method Of relief.
SEWERAGE PIPING HERE.
The great value of the work done here
is principally suggestive, and is studied
by travellers and scientific men Of every
continent.
At the outset it was decided that 1t
would never do to permit sewage to flow
into Lake Calumet, as it would make
cesspool of that body Of water, and to
obviate such a result, the mode or dis

by Honesty and Energy.

We learn of country boy who
worked in an evaporation during the
autumns of his thirteenth, fou1 teenth,
and fifteenth years, attending dis
trict school during the intervening
winters. His total earnings were
about $3.50. The winter of his fifteenth
year he attended a business college
from which he graduated with honors-
The autumn of his sixteenth year he
became principal of the business de-
partment of a flourishiug school, and
is now filling the position with honor
to himself and satisfaction to all con.
cerned. This gratifying result was pos
sible to this young man only because
he made the most of his opportunities.
There are thousands of men, young
and old, who spend their time and
strength in proclaiming what they
might do if they had this ones "chance",
or that ones money. Are you acquaint-
ed with any such? Did they make the
most of the opportunities they have had
In spite of all that may be said about
the advantages of those possessed Of
wealth and influence, the fact remains
that no country on earth offers such
opportunities to the young manor

America. The "grasping monopolists,
about whom we hear SO much. Gould,
Rockefeller, Armour, and many others,
began in poverty and rose by hard work
and shrewd foresight. You, young
reader, have the benefit of the past ex
perience of thousands of successful men
without cost. Will you use it? Any
young man who has sound mind in
healthy body ought to be ashamed of
spending his time in lamenting over
the things he might do if he only had
some other mans money. There's a
weak spot somewhere about the indi-

THE RESERVOIR.

The sewage goes by gravity from
buildings to the reservoir under the
Water Tower. This reservoir is 60 feet
in diameter and Is feet deep, and holds
over 100000 gallons. The sewage is
pumped from it as fast as received, and
before sufficient time elapses for fer
mentation to take place. Standing over
the reservoir the visitor never detects
anything unpleasant, the air being just
as pure as it is in the Corliss engine
room, the only odor being that from the
oil used about the pumps.

Through the center of this tank there is

the meshes of which substances more
than half an inch in diameter cannot

The sewage waters pass through this
