BRIGGS HERESY CASE,
The New York Presbytery Considering
the Charges.

The New York Presbytery Considering
the Charges.
New YORK, Nov. 29.-The Presbytery
this afternoon resumed the trial of Pro-
fessor Briggs. The floor was at once ac-
corded the Prosecuting Committee to
state its position on Professor Briggs OBJ
lection to the charges and his demand
that numbers four and seven be stricken
out. Colonel McCook read the opinion
of the Committee on Motion, and argued
that two charges could not be dropped.
In reference TO charge seven, Colonel
McCook had Briggs answer as irrele-
want, although he had affirmed be-
fore Professors of the Union Seminary
that he believed one who died impenitent
was forever lost. He had since promul-
gated his theory of progressive sanctitica-
ton in his inaugural address, and it
was on this address that the charge
was founded. The fourth charge could
not be dropped, because DR.. Briggs
denial OF the fulfllment of the details of
prophecy was a denial of the truthful
ness OF the Bible and an impeachment Of
the omnipOtence of God.
After further discussion DIR. Alexan-
der's motion to strike out charge four was
taken out.
Professor Brown, of Union Seminary.
and one OF the foremost of Briggs sup
porters, said that the committee acted
unfairly in quoting part Of Briggs state
ments, and taking them out of their
proper connection.
ANY minister" he said fervently.
could be proved heretical by this
course"
DR.. Hastings, the venerable President
of the Faculty with which the defendant
is connected, did not mince his words in
claiming that the charge contained new
matter. He said the change made was
radical 1t gives the lie direct to DR..
Briggs, and there is no getting around it
by casuistry.
A vote was taken, and the motion was
carried by decided vote-70 to 40.
The seventh charge suffered the same
fate by about the same vote.
Colonel McCook asked that an excep-
ton to the courts action be entered on
behalf of the Prosecution Committee.
Adjourned till tomorrow.

was bed of yellow ooze, through which
the horses tore, throwing up clods of
slush until it looked as if it were raining
mud. The soaked tanbark in front Of
the stands emitted a most disagreeable
odor, and, taken all in all, the surround
