start in the direction of putting things in order.

he had some difficulty in finding an experienced
man whom he could get to accept the position.

TAKEN FOR A ROBBER.
A Man Who Got Into the Wrong House is
Terribly Beaten.


Daniel Reardon, middle-aged man, who re-
Gently went to New Castle, Del, from Whining
ton to work at the Riverside rolling mills, is
wearing badly hacked-up face and head and
is minus eye, the result of an assault COM
mitted on him by Peter Maran, who is the day
gatetender at the Delaware iron works. The
circumstances of the case are peculiar. Rear
don arrived in Dobbinsville Monday afternoon,
having previously obtained work at the River
side mills, which are situated within stones
throw of this lively suburb. Early in the
evening he engaged board at the boarding house
of Mrs. Conner. widow.
After supper Reardon went out and spent the
evening at the house of a friend. There are
some twenty odd houses in this row and their
exterior appearance is precisely the same. 1t
was very dark toward IL clock, when Rear
don started fo- his boarding place, and it was
impossible to see the numbers on the houses.
Anyhow he walked along the street until he
came to a front door which WAS standing wide
open. Evidently thinking that this where
he belonged he walked in. closed the door and
pr oceeded up the stairs.
This house. however. was Peter Maran's resi-
dence. Mrs. Maran being the only occupant of
the house at the time, and hearing the foot
steps of Reardou on the floor above. screamed
for her husband. who was out in the street. He
was quickly on the scene. and was soon con-
fronted with what he supposed was i real live
burglar. Reardon was partially disrobed, and
was making preparations to retire. Before he
had an opportunity of explaining he SAYS that
Maran attacked him with heavy club cane
and after gouging one Of his eyes out started to
beat him into lnsensibility.
The unfortunate Reardon. with blood stream
ing from his wounds. got out into the street
and called for help. Several of his friends
came to his rescue and took him TO n physician

The Principal Subject Of Discussion by the
Senate Immigration Committee.

The Principal Subject OF Discussion by the
Senate Immigration Committee.
After the meeting of the Senate committee
on immigration yesterday at>New York a state
ment was made to the representatives o; the
press to the effect that the time had been
mostly consumed in the consideration of the
aspect Of the question in relation to the
probability of the cholera visiting this country
next year. The shutting down Of immigration,
it was argued, would lessen the danger Of such
a visit materially.
Or. Edison of the health board had been sum-
moned to give his views regarding the proba-
bility of cholera coming to this country and
the probable effect of cutting of immigration.
DR.. Edison expressed himself as strong in the
belief that cholera would probably come to
these shores in the spring He has studied the
subject thoroughly and finds strong reason to
think that there is a big fight in store for the
country against the dread disease next spring.
The doctor also expressed himself as being of
the opinion that the enactment of the proposed
law which would restrict immigration for one
year, beginning next spring, would be most
potent factor In the fight to keep the cholera
from the shores of America.
DIR. jenkins of the health board, who is in
Chicago, is said to hold the same opinion in the
matter as Edison.
Col. Weber of the immigration committee
was present also to hear the discussion and to
aid the committee by making suggestions.
The committee will meet again today and
continue the discussion. They feel that the
matter Is an important one and will be delib-
crate in whatever they do. The committee is
authorized to ''send for and examine persons,
books and papers and to administer oaths TO
witnesses"
The present indications are that the commit
tee will adopt the idea of limiting immigration
to this country for one year and make it the
basis for report to Congress-.
The immigration committee will continue the
discussion of the matter, holding meetings in
New York city and listening to the opinions OF
various authorities the subject but it is
probable that the committee will arrive at no
decision until a return is made to Washington,
after full consideration of the matter in New
York.

Mississippi river will be on the margin of the
Pacific ocean, We Of the north have our COM
mon interests with YOU Of the south, not only
in commerce. but in the defense of the coun-
try. With this canal thirty ships of war woud
be worth one hundred ships without it. 1t will
be. In my opinion. the greatest of all diplo-
matte agencies for the prevention of war or the
restoration of peace"
Judge John L. Jones made a speech. dwelling
on the diplomatic aspects of the responsibility
which it is proposed to put on the federal gov
eminent He said:
The Nicaragua canal will give us the advan-
tage of Europe in these oriental markets, and
in addition will give Australia. the islands of
the Pacific. the western coast of South America
and Central America. The canal will bring to
US the markets of zoe, 600 600 of people 1t will
double our commerce between our eastern,
gclf and Pacific coasts. 1t will place the wheat
grown on our Pacific coast 10, 600 miles nearer
to Liverpool. 1t will place San Francisco 10. 900
miles nearer to New York 1t will place New
Orleans IL 900 miles nearer to San Francisco ~

DIR. BRIGGS CASE.
The New York Presbytery Divided Into
Factions on an Important Motion.

The New York Presbytery Divided Into
Factions on an Important Motion.
BY unanimous consent of the court Of the
presbytery of New York, before which DIR.
Charles A. Briggs is being tried for heresy, the
names of five ministers absent from Tuesday
meeting were added yesterday to the roll of
jurors and a like favor was extended to one
elder.
Moderator Bliss announced that the business
before the house was the consideration of the
objections filed by DR.. Briggs. Objections one
and two were:
l. object that the charges put in my hands
November 9. 1892 were finally disposed of by
the dismissal of the case on November 4. 1891
and that the presbytery could not legally cite
me a second time to answer to charges which
they had dismissed.
2. object to the order and regularity of the
proceeding in the presbytery in any and every
action taken against me since the Iii smissal of
the said charges on November 4. 1891.
These objections were voted on separately
and both were not sustained. DIR. Briggs said
that he would waive the third objection and no
action was taken concerning it. DR.. Browne Of
the Union Seminary moved that the fourth OBJ
lection be sustained.
The objection is:
A. object to the relevancy of all the proofs
from Scripture, confession and catechisms.
Col. A. p. Ketchum of Calvary Church OPP
posed the motion on the ground that the rele-
vancy Of the proofs could only be determined
when the merits OF the question were argued.
: laugh was raised by DR.. Briggs. who said
that to sustain the objection was to favor the
prosecution. ard he hoped that a vote would be
taken. But the wish was not realized.
DIR. Brown offered an amendment requiring
the removal of the proofs from the specifica-
tons to the charge. The question rs thus
amended was carried by the vote of II to Sc,
and another point was scored by the defendant
Or. Southworth moved that in view of Dr.
Briggs objection to the offer of Wholesale evil
dence the clause in the eighth charge offering
the whole inaugural address. the whole OF Scrip
ture and the whole Of the Presbyterian stand
ards be stricken out.
DIR. Wylie offered an amendment that
specific passages which are deemed heretical
may be introduced.
DIR. Wylle's amendment was buried by an
overwhelming vote. But on the question itself
the vote was extremely close. On division the
m otion declared lost by 60 to S. A roll
call was finally ordered, and the motion was
lost by two votes.
DR.. Briggs asked that an exception be entered
in his behalf on the records. So great was the
importance attached to the vote that it was re-
Rarded as dividing the presbytery into two dis
tinct factions.
The court then adjourned until this after
noon.

Minneapolis Excited Over Big Forgeries.
Minneapolis business and banking circles are
torn up over report that several of the local
banks had been victimfzed by forgeries per-
petrated by the son of business man Of high
social standing. Rumor credited them with
having lost sums variously placed at from
$50, 600 to 5000, 900. There does not seem to
be any reason TO believe that the banks will be
the losers, as one OF the banks which carried
$4,000 of the paper brought suit against the
alleged forger and the case was settled. and it
is believed that settlement viii be made with
ali the banks concerned.
