DR.. Worcester then said: 81 stand. not as
supporter Of Briggs, but as an advocate of
peace. have hoped and prayed that our
action might lead to unity, not bitterness.
and make us strong for our great fight with
evil. / believed there were many on both
sides of the Briggs question who feel as do
and long for some safe middle course. We
have the right to do what advise, to request
the trustees of the Union Theological Sem

course will not render the position of the
New York Presbytery more difficult In the

this action, aud so have my friends. 1t was
a foregone conclusion. / am entirely salts

THE JEWISH EMIGRATION SUBJECT.
Gladstnne's suggestions toward remedy
Ing the persecution Of the Russian Jews
strongly diSapp0int the community. His
letter on the subject ignores the fact that
the RusSO-JeWish Committee has already
taken the exact course he suggested. At
meeting of the Z0uists, the speakers de-
claTed tbat the facts were known which
justified the action of the European Cover

that time was precious. Lord R0ths-
child has presented a memorial TO
L1rd Salisbury asking the British Govern

the powers TO assist the wholesale

plan. They aim 10 obtain European Fec0g-

How A. G. Barrows Was Victimized Out
of &4SOO.
The United States Grand Jury in Coving-
ton, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, turned up
q gOld-brick swinder.
He WAS indicted under the name of Cam
erOn Bostetter. He has several aliases.
among them RED" Adams and big Char
ley'' Adams. Il. c. Mains, Peter c. Con-
lisk, James Cooper, John Pierce, Edward
Ray, Charles +. Davis ana Red" Austin
were also indicted.
The indictment charges him with falsely
representing himself as United States
officer and acting under the United States
Cover ment as an Assayer OF the Mint from
Philadelphia. and in such capacity Oh aiming
$500 from one A. &. Barrows.
The elegant little gold brick that WAS used
TO skin Mr.. Barr0ws is now in the custody
OF the officers, and weighs just thTy-nne
pounds. If genuine it would represent a
small fortune. Conlisk is we'll known in
police circles as Peter the Pig" and John
Pierce is known to the police as Eddie Ray.
The victim, Mr. A. G. Barrows, who was
skinned by the game, resides at Winchester,
Ky. The trick was produced TO him by
Peter the Pig" who represented that he
was an assayer employed at the Philadelphia
Mint. John Price is the man " no went TO
Barrows and represented himself as miner
from Arizona, and had gold brick that ne
wanted to sell, and was looking for rela-
tive named Barrows.
Red Austin was the man who was picked
to make an examination of the brick, aud
he reported its value at about $4,000. On
this statement BaTrows paid S4S00 for the
brick. They represented 10 him that they
wanted TO buy farm. and showed him the
bricks.
Two of the men induced him to have the
bricks asSayed, and he visited Paris, KY,
where he was recommended to find the Gov
ernment Assayist. who was none other than
Red Austin.
He charged them So apiece for his services
and pronounced the brick-dust as the gen.
uine stuff. The fact that the bricks were
worth $4,000 in 'Rea' Austin's opinion
rather caught Barrows, and lie was willing
to give $500 for n third interest He was
finally given possession of both bricks by
AuSIin and his malls

due it for the State lands that will be
crossed AS this road is to run considera-
bly, to the west OF DR.. Webb's proposed road
it is doubtful whether the State land to be
to be taken is included within the forest
preserve. 1t is certainly included within the
lands mapped out for the Adirondack Park.
In this respect the land is similar to those
sought to be crossed by Webb's road. But
the Canadian Pacific road in seeking en-
trance to New York City has this advaD-
tage over Webb-its claims were passed
upon by the Land Board several years ago,
and all it now has to do is to agree with the
State upon the price to be paid.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
DR.. McKibben's Remarks on Worcester's
Substitute.

substitute.
The discussion of DR.. Worcester'S Substi-
tute for Patton's report was continued at
the afternoon session. DR.. McKibben said: /:
u believe we are taking part in the greatest
crisis the Presbyterian Church ever passed,
and tie question is whether this assembly
will ever find juStifable occasion for ex-
pressing dsapproval of professor If not
now. Ii we do not approve Of DR.. Briggs,
and wait until the investigation has gone
through, and then if the Union Theological
Seminary is satisfied and the church is satis-
fed with that after the experience through
which he has passed, then he will be not
only a sound but safe preacher, and
allow them to re-elect him. They
lose nothing by this dsappr0yal on
our part, as far as the law is concerned. III
il be said that this assembly has, by its re-
fuSaI to diSaDprOve, allowed the man TO
teach. ask you by what principle of con-
sistency you can say to young man VINO
comes before the Presbytery, We Will
not license you for holding what your pro-
fessor, by authority of the power of the
Presbyterian Church, has been teaching.
If | thought these things were only DIR.
Briggs idiosyncraSies ii would be different
thing, but they are the advance guard OF
a great tide. Some men may not take in as
much of it as others, but 1t is going to over
throw the supremacy of Thus saith the
Lord, ana / tell you wnen am
dealing with the question what is needed
to save men / would rather have
one Thus saith the Lord undisputed than
all the scholarship Of the world contains.
l believe in my soul if DR.. Briggs is really
in harmony with the confession of faith
with regard to these matters, that the adop-
ton of this report will do more to bring him
back than anything else. Otherwise | be-
lieVe that in five years some men will be
apologizing for having asked this assembly
TO waive this solemn power entrusted to it
by Almighty God to protect teaching in its
theological seminaries. This report casts
no shadow, save that we do not feel that
