Summary of the Evidence Given on the
First Day of the Trial.

Summary of the Evidence Given on the
First Day of the Trial.
BEAVER, Pa, Jan. Ex-senator Quay's
libel suit against The Star was called yes
terday. The jury consists of eleven Re
pubicans and one Democrat.
Senator Quay and David Martin of Phil
adelphia were the most important wit
nesses examined. Martin testified that he
came to Quay for campaign funds and re-
ceived $1,000 in cash and the senator's per-
sonal note for 5000. The note could not be
discounted ut the time. and Quay gave his
personal check for that amount. II was
discounted later and John Barlsley gave
him a certificate of deposit on the Key
stone bank. He gave the certificate to
Quay at Washington Senator Quay tes-
titled that he was asked to give money to
the campaign fund and related the trans
action rs stated by Martin. He could not
swear 10 his Endorsement on the certifi-
cate but swore to the signature on his
check He said he had met John Bards-
ley once, but had no other business trans
actions He admitted that he was really
liable for 900 to the Philadelphia COM
pany for campaign purposes. When asked
whether he was connected with the Bards-
ley steal he replied: THAT is false" 1t
was developed that Quay sent the certif
cate TO the Beaver bank, but had not in
dorsrd it. His assistant cashier, s. p
stone stated on the stand that he had
done it for him. State Chairman Andrews
and Senator Porter were also examined d
but nothing startling was elected

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH.
Changes Made I'm the Revision by the
Presbyterian General Assembly.


NEW YORK, Jan. l9-The Presbyterian
general assembly's committee made good
progress yesterday in revising their revis-
ion of the confession of faith. The doc
trines of infant damnation was entirely
eliminated by the adoption Of the follow
ing substitute:
Infants dying in infancy and all other per-
sons who are not guilty OF actual transgres-
sion, are included in the election OF grace, and
are saved and regenerated by Christ, through
the spirit who worketh when and where he
pleascth. So also are all other elect persons,
who are not outwardly called by the ministry
of the word.
Section of chapter IS was made to read
as follows:
Works done by unregenerate men, although
they may be things which God commands and
good use both To themselves and to others,
and although the neglect OF such things is sin
full and displeasing TO God, yet because they
proceed not from heart purified by faith, nor
are done In right manner, according TO tho
word; nor to right end, the glory OF God, do
not meet the requirements Of the divine law.
Thence they cannot be pleaded as ground OF
acceptance with God.
Chapter %, section 4, now reads as fol-
lows:
Prayer is to he made for things lawful and
forIal sorts of men living or that shall live
hereafter, but not for the dead.
The subcommittee on section OF chap
ter 1, which treats of preterition, brought
in their report. After long and vigorous
discussion the following words were
adopted:
The rest Of mankind God saw fit, according
to the unsearchabe council OF his will,
whereby he extendeth or withholdeth mercy,
as he pleaseth, not to elect unto eternal life,
and then hath he ordained to dishonor and
wrath for their sins, to the praise Of his
glorious justice. Yet hath he no pleasure In
the death of the wicked. nor is il his decree,
but the wickedness OF their own hearts which
rcstraineth and hindereth them from accept
ing the offer OF his grace made in the gospel.

IN FAVOR Of GRAVES.
New Evidence Has Been
Discovered.
A DRUNKEN MANS BABBlE.
Defense to Make Claims Which They
Declare Can Be Suostant.ated.

DENVER, Jan l9--The friends OF DR.
Graves claim startling disclosures will be
given the public shortly. 1t is held that
an affidavit has been signed byscvcral per-
sons who were in Roothrey's saloon on
Seventeenth street n few days ago when
one of the witnesses against Graves be-
came intoxicated and talked freely He
spoke Of his acquaintance with all parties
in the case. and as the minutes sped by his
volubility increased He had plenty Of
listeners, for the topic was uppermost in
the public mind, and every word was
eagerly listened TO. He did not meet with
any interruption and he grew bolder in his
assertions, until he startled his audience
with the statement that he himself had
bought the whisky and mailed it TO the
Denver address. The story has created a
great sensation here and, although
doubted by some, is claimed to be correct.
The affidavits have been made public \
couple of letters are expected from Mon
tana, which the defense claim will corrobo-
rate the statement that bad feelings eX-
isted between Mrs Barnaby and the Wor
rells.
The New Theory
which occupies the attention Of Detective
Keith il that the bottle was sent to Den
yer long time before the actual delivery.
Not finding the lady to whom it was adj
dressed, the postoflice people returned il
to the address marked in the corner Then,
it is held, the package was opened and put
up fresh, and forwarded again with more
explicit instructions
During the process of packing the note
inclosed was torn, and then trimmed off
clean with pair Of scissors. In doing 50
the name of the sender was inadvertently
cut off the sheet. The theory is hardly
tenable, but the defense declares that cv-
cry claim they make will be substantiated
and before many more days they will know
the name. This will be the last link in
their chain of facts.
That the contents of the bottle had been
prepared several months before delivery in
Denver is conceded. but this will be as
cribed TO delay in the mails beyond ordi-
nary experience.
In support of this, Mr.. Keith cites two
letters which he addressed to persons in
St Louis Both had return address in
tho left hand corner, with the customary
request not TO be held longer than ten
days. The letters ultimately reached the
writer, one in fifty and one in seventy days
after having been dropped in the Denver
office.
If such tardiness occurred with first
class matter, il is contended that pack
age could easily be held'back from the
owner a month or more.
