TRIAL OF PROF. SMITH.
The Withdrawal ofthe Right TO Preach
the only Punishment.


CINCINNArI, o., Nov. l5.-The trial OF
Prof. Henry Smith of Lane Theological
Seminary for alleging that the Old Testa.
ment contains inaccuracies of historic fact
and that the inspired writer's of the Old
Testament we're guilty Of suppressing sun
dry historic truths, was resumed in the
First Presbyterian church before the pres
byterY of Cincinnati this morning. A menu
ber of the presbytery said: II do not be-
lieve Prof. Smith will be convicted Of the
first charge, which declares that he taught
contrary to the regulations and practice OF
the church. He may be convicted of the
second charge, which declares that the pro-
fessor thus taught contrary 60 the funda-
mental doctrine OF the word Of God and the
confession of faith that the holy spirit did
so control the inspired writer's ia their COM
position OF the holy scriptures as 30 make
their utterances absolutely truthful and free
from error when interpreted 10 their nat
urRl and intended sense The result il
conviction is had will probably be that
Prof. Smith will be silenced as O minister,
but we cannot, of course, deprive him of
his professorship.n
Most Of the morning was taken up in a
diapute over the minutes of yesterday.
SMITH MAKES A STRONG DEFENSE.
For more than three hours the members
of the presbytery listened to the reading
by Prof. Smith OF a logical and keenIy in
cisive argument in his defense. Not only
that, but by way of proving his position 70
be the proper one ne vas compelled to show
that for the position assumed by the presid-
ing committee they could not quote a single
passage of the scriptures in their support.
The reader assuming for the time the part
of prosecutor, patiently, one by one,
examined the texts cited by the committee
in support of their charge and declared
them all insufficient TO sustain the commits
tees position. His argument was that the
word inspired described the quality, not the
origin Of the scriptures. Il was dark when
he concluded, and after brief prayer the
presbytery adjourned. On the way from
church Prof. Smith met several enthusiastic
friends who warmly congratulated him on
his argument.
The prosecution will begin its reply to-
morrow

A RACE STAR rER SHOT.
He Resisted an Of1cer When Ordered
OF the Track

ON the Track.
ST. LouIs, MO-, Nov. 15.-Col. Jack
Chinn, well-known horse starter, was
probably fatally shot at the st. Louis track
this afternoon by Officer ID. ID. Anthony OF
the track police force. Chinn was under
contract to act as starter for the East Side
track, but some time ago went to Chicago
10 ofticlate at Hawthorne leaving his son.
Kit Chinn here. The management tried
TO hold Chinn to his contract. Chinn did
not respond promptly and when he did come
did very poor work SO the services OF
Starter Dwyor OF Gutenberg were secured.
Chinn this afternoon went on the track 10
do his usual work, and finding DwYer there,
snatched the flag from him aud ordered him
off the track Dwyer refused to go, and
called on the ofiicerstor protection. officer
Anthony told Chinn to get of the track,
and an alteration ensued, during which
Chinn was shot several times by the officer.
He Is in dangerous condition.
THE FATAL ENCOUNTER.
Chinn took the flag from Starter Dwyer's
hands ct the first race. After the field was
sent away he walked to the club house, where
Secretary Sinclair handed him his dis
charge. He threw it in rage upon
the floor. saying: "By -, no man
can discharge me-" At the same
time he reached out with one hand and
grasped Sinclair by the coat, pulling him
toward him. With his disengaged hand
Chinn pulled vicious looking knife. and
apparently was about TO wreak his wrath
upon the secretary. Capt. Anthony, who
was near. sprang forward. At this
point accounts differ. The one given
most credence Is q statement by Capt.
Anthony, who says that while not In any
danger himself he saw that Sinclair's life
was in dangers also that the latter had
drawn revolver and should he fire 10, the
bullets were likely to hit some OF the crowd
that had gathered. To prevent this he
put his revolver to Chinn's face and fired,
the ball entering his neck. Chinn
fell, but soon staggering TO his feet ex-
claimed: "You towards had better go and
select your graveyards, am in this racket
to win, aud by God win l will" He then
started to walk away, but was placed under
arrest. Physicians removed him 20 a hospital.
ID is said late tonight that he will recover.
He told a friend that he would fix IL all
right with Sinclair and ask his pardon. but
be still makes threats against Officer
Anthony and his assistants

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-A circular is

immigrants who come over in the steeraRe.
Heretofore all immigrants who were not
booked and assembled at the port of depart

In cabin or steerage. The change is
made in recognition Of the fact that the
only present danger of the introduction of
cholera or other epidemiss by immigration
is from persons and old baggage that have
not been subject to proper sanitary regula-
tion in transit. 1t is assumed that the fed
eral aud local quarantines win be continued
