BRIGGS YET UPHELD.
A Futile End to the Union TheoIUg-
ical Seminary Conference.
DIRECTORS STICK TO THEIR NAN,
While the General Assembly Still Insists
That He Must Go.
THE PROCEEDINGS ARE DISCLOSED

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-When the Union
Theological Seminary Conference adjourned
tonight the proceedings of the two days
session were made public. The directors Of
the seminary have maintained their inde-
pendence and allegiance to Prof Briggs,
whose election to the Chair of Biblical The
ology was vetoed by the General Assembly.
The two days session resulted in a great
deal of talk, but the matter is still unsettled,
with indications very unfavorable to any
near settlement yet. Dr. Hastings, in be-
half of the seminary directors, read state
ment in which the board says:
We recommend that in order to prevent
future misconceptions of the interests of the
Board in this matter, the following minute
be entered upon our record; Inasmuch as
there appears to be in some quarters mis-
conception of the meaning and intent of the
action Of the board taken in 1870 whereby
all appointments of professors were to be
reported to the General Assembly, and
further providing thatno auch appointments
should be considered as a complete election
if disapproved by q majority vote of the AS
sembly, this board would hereby record its
conviction that the said action of 1s70 was
then understood by this board to refer to
the election of additional members Of the
faculty, and not to the appointment to new
departments of instruction of professors
already in Office, or to their transfer from
one chair to another as may seem expedient
to the board.
The Assembly Committee then caucused,
and made this response:
This committee states that the General
Assembly has always regarded the said
agreement or arrangement as binding, legal
ly or morally, upon both parties to the same,
and it desires to know the views of the di-
rectors upon the fundamental point; for If
the agreement or arrangement is not legally
or morally binding on both parties it is Of no
practical use to discuss what is the true con-
struction of the said arrangement or agree
ment.
The directors withdrew from the confer
ence after the document had been read, and
after an hours deliberation submitted this
reply:
WHEREAS The question has been raised by
the committee of the General Assembly
now in conference with thss board as to the
attitude of this board toward the arrange
ment of 1870,
Resolved, That this board, without sur
rendering itsinterpretation of said arrange
ment, fully recognizes its binding force
until it shall be proved to be illegal or shall
be properly abrogated.

LOOTED A HOUSE.

A Kindred Companion Takes Advantage
of Friends Absence and Robs Her.
Annie De Belle and Annie Hadsell, two
Allegheny females, returned yesterday from
a 30-day visit to Claremont Springs. Their
place of residence, when at home, is No.
Bell alley. During their sojourn up the
river, some one with a propensity to pur-
loin personal property, entered the house
and carried off curtains, bric-a-brac and
other articles of value which go to enhance
the interior of dwelling house.
Miss De Belle suspected Mary Viock, of
1876 North Canal street. Detectives John
son and Steele made a search of the
premises and found the looted articles and
arrested the proprietress She will have a
hearing this morning.

Indians Apt Pupils of Politics.

PARIS, Tex, Oct. 29-The Choctaw
Council adjourned to-day until November
30. This was done at the suggestion of
Chief Jones in order that the delegates
may go to Washington and see what can be
done in regard to getting the money for the
leased district which was sold at the last
session of the Council. A good deal de-
pends in political way on the present ad-
it will be used by the Smallwood, or Ma
tional, party as material next campaign. 1t
is not believed that the delegates will get
the money.

Eoies anu hunSarians angry at an Order
Preventing Their Parading.
SHENANDOAH, Oct. 29.-[Special 1.-The
largest political meeting ever held in this
beautiful mountain city was given here to-
night, in honor of Wright and Tildeh. The
people of the Shenandoah Valley, ire
spective of party, turned out en- masse to-
night to see and hear the Democratic speak
ers. The refusal of the Republican town
Council to allow a parade of Polish and
Lithuanian societies during the occasion of
the dedication of the church in this city,
last Sunday, has SO enraged not only the
members of those organizations, but every
other Christian in this section of the State,
that both the State and county Republican
tickets will lose thousands of votes in
Schuylkill, Northumberland, Columbia,
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties
All these counties sent large delegations
to the dedicatory services here last Sunday,
and when they learned of the outrage that
had been perpetrated upon their religion
they were indignant, and propose to resent
the insult by voting with their friends
Among the most active and enthusiastic
promoters of to-night's meeting were the
leading Poles and Hungarian residents of
Shenandoah and vicinity. Most of them
have heretofore been allied with the Re-
publican party.

troubles among the Grenadier Guards prac-
tically confirms Truths story of yesterday;
except that it says that only the corporals
cover who threw the food out of the win
dow. The report denies that there was any
mutiny, and declares that the trouble was
merely childish refusal on the part of the
men to eat the food provided for them be-
cause their complaint that there was too
much bone in the meat rations was ignored.
There has been no trouble since.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 29.-There have been
terrific earthquakes along the southern
coast of Nippon (Hondo), the principal
island of Japan. The shocks were most
severely felt at Osaka and at Kobe, where
most of the foreign merchants of the port of
Hiogo have their homes The shocks
traversed the island in westerly direction
along the shores of the Bay of Osaka at the
head of which Hiogo is situated.
These two suburbs of Hiogo (Osaka and
Kobe) which are connected by railroad and
whose houses are mostly lightly built, have
suffered considerable damage. Hundreds
of houses have been destroyed, but the ex-
tent of the fatalities is still unknown and
may remain so for some time to come, owing
to the destruction of the telegraph lines.
1t is known, however, that in addition to
the loss referred to there has been consider
able damage along the coast.

HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS LOST.
The First Indian, Condemned to He Shot
That Ever Ran Away.

Anht Ever Ran Away.
CADDo, L. T., Oct. 29-[Special Jack
son Fletcher, the Choctaw who was to have
been shot tomorrow, made good his escape
Tuesday night, while the sheriff was eating
supper, and he has not been heard from
since. 1t is supposed that he has gone to
Paris, Tex, and surrendered himself to the
United States authorities, as they had a
case against him in that court and he pre-
ferred being tried there rather than being
shot There has never been a word heard
from him since he walked off from the
sheriff. Sheriff Phil Johnson from whom
he escaped, was in town to-day, searching
for him.
1t has been an old tradition here with In
dams that if they ran away and failed to be
on hand at the time of execution thew
would lose their happy hunting grounds,
but Fletcher took his chances and is the
only Indian who has ever run away to
escape punishment. Some of the Indians
say he had been associating with the whites
and that they caused him to sscape.

Deed OF the Heart of Denver.
DENVER, Oct. 2s.-Property owners in
Denver are terribly worked up over deed
offered for record at the County Clerks
office this week. The deed is made by
JEFF Hildreth to Martin E. Cole, and trans.
fers to the latter 480 acres of land in the
heart of the city. The title to the lands is
claimed by right of pre-emption, Hildreth
claiming to have settled upon it and ac-
quired the right of possession 80 years ago
and has never been before dispossesed of it.
The Real Estate Exchange refuses to recog-
nize the validity of the instrument, but
they will put up large bond in order to
prevent its going upon the record. The
land in question is worth several millions,
and should the deed be sustained by the
court it will involve hundreds of citizens to
endless litigation. The general impression,
however, is that the deed is worthless

Coon COUNTRY roads are q sure
indication of the thrift. energy and
enterprise OF any community. The
degree of civilization OF d country
or.nation is frequently measured by
theconditipn of it's public roads and
highways. Man in his savage state
will not build roads; he prefers to
make use of the paths OF the wild
beasts OF the forest, or such natural
road beds as may exist. The ridge
known as the Indian Trailn east
OF here has been put to such use per.
haps for centuries. Now it is not
our intention to write an ESSAY on
roads, but simply to call the atten-
ton OF the people in the different
towns OF the county to the necessity
ofbetterroads. Much has been done
by n few towns. but much more re-.
mains to be done, and some towns
have scarcely made an effort at road
building at all. Some OF these towns
have been settled for many wears
and boasts OF hundreds OF voters
who, it they only worked their poll
tax yearly, would in the course OF 4
lew years provide the town with
good roadsfor travel. The authori-
ties OF the different towns need to
bestir themselves in this matter. and
especially is this true OF towns in the
eastern and northeastern portions
OF the county. 1t is not necessary
to buy q high priced grader--a
scraper, a pillow, spade and ak are
all the tools necessary to commence
with. Lay out roads in section lines
where they will run permanently, cut
out brush and fill up the low places.
DO not attempt to build all the
roads necessary in a townsip in one
year. but build few. The SHEAF
