A strict quarantine will not be enforced

MASKED TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Hold Up a Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Train.
In the Melee Which Follows a Passenger
Is Mortally Wounded, Another Is shot
Twice, When the Robbers Escape.

IRON GATE, Va, Dec. 1S.-As the
Chesapeake & Ohio vestibule train pulled
out of Huntington, Va, last night, four
masked train robbers with two pistols
each appeared and ordered the passengers
to hold up their hands. Two passengers
seized one robber, and in the scufie one
of the passengers, a German from Cincin-
natl, on his wedding trip, was mortally
wounded, and Peter Drake, also of Gin
cinnati, was wounded twice. The con-
ductor secured a revolver and emptied it
twice at the robbers.
Meanwhile the scene was one of indie
scribable confusion. Passengers were
Kidding beneath seats, women were
screaming and fainting At last, the
robbers realizing their job failure,
pulled the bell cord, stopped the train,
jumped off and disappeared in the dark
ness. 1t is believed some of them were
wounded.
At O'Clock tonight detectives arrested
the first man alleged to have been con-
nected with the train robbery. He is
BurWell Furghey, a man who was shot,
as he alleges, in his own doorway soon

Fughey TALES in almost in every detail
with the description of the taller of the
two robbers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ID. = Especial. =
Several days ago Joseph Perrault of Boise
City, Ida, came to Washington. He
wanted permission from Secretary EIkins
to enlarge and extend the irrigating canal
which now runs through the military
reservation near the capital. There was
some doubt whether the secretary of war
would grant the permission, and accord
ingly the two senators and representa-
tive Sweet called at the war department
today to lay the matter before Mr..
Elkins.
They expected the usual delay incident
to securing concessions of this character
from the government and were agreeabIy
surprised when Mr.. Elkins, after they
had stated their wish, oluntly replied:
''Why, of course, gentlemen, there is no
reason why it should not be done and
will have the necessary orders issued at
once.'
The delegation left the war department.
satisfied that Mr. Elkins was not only a
hustler. but thorough-going business
man as well, without any nonsense about
him. 1t required only fifteen minutes
after they had entered the department to
settle the matter satisfactorily, and now
they are eongratulating themselves on
the easy victory they won. Mr.. Perrault
will return to Idaho at once and push the
work in operation.

TIE BRIGGS TRIAL.
The Defendant Makes Answer to the
Charges Alleged Against Him.

The Defendant Makes Answer to the
Charges Alleged Against Him.
New YORK, Dec. 13.-The Briggs trial
was resumed today. The galleries of the
church were crowded. Among the prom
inent people in the galleries was Mrs.
Cleveland. The large attendance was due
to the fact that Briggs was to answer the
charges. ReY. Briggs read from printed
pamphlet. He considered the points of
the prosecution committees argument
and asserted that the lines of prosecution
adopted by them were illegal and dishon-
est. Much of Mr.. McCook's argument
was devoted to the exposition of the
fourth and seventh charges, which was
ruled out by the Presbytery. By thus
defying the Presbytery, the prosecution
succeeded in their scheme OF sending to
higher court.
Defendant argued that no evidence was
advanced by the prosecuting committee o
sustain charges one, four, five and six,
and these charges should be thrown out,
as there had been no proof offered yet that
ne had been guilty of heretical terchings,
and if this were civil court he should
stop right here and ask that the case be
dismissed, but recognizing the fact that
the trial was merely Tor the purpose OF
carrying these charges to higher ecclesi-
astical tribunal, he was forced to consider
them on their merits. Mr.. Briggs then
proceeded to take up successfully the
charges and specifications, and give cate
gorical responses in his argument, which
were remarkable for their wide research,
profound erudition and close reasoning.
He first called attention to the prelim-
mary principles regulating all trials for
heresy in the Presbyterian church OF the
United States, which, he said, were en-
tirely disregarded by the prosecution in
their arguments on the amended charges
and specifications. Presbyterian law re-
quires that the charges should set forth
that certain teachings are in irreconcilable
conflict with certain doctrines which are
essential and necessary to Westminster
standards. He held that the Scriptures,
as to dangerous errors, are not in irrecon-
cilable conflict with essential and neces-
sary articles OF Westminster confession
and this Presbytery had not constitu-
tional right to deal with them.
Briggs next considered "The Bible as
the only foundation OF divine authority ;"
and replied to parts one and two together.
At this point the defendant stopped read
ing for the day.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

A Contest Between the Ways and Means
and Appropriations Committees Settled.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The Commit
tee on Rules reported back favorably the
resolution offered by Mr.. Wilson, Demo-
GRAFT, of West Virginia, directing the
Committee on Ways and Means to inquire
and report upon the present condition of
the treasury and the future probable
revenue under existing laws, which was
adopted. This action settles the contest
between the Ways and means and Appro-
priations Committees, both of which have
been anxious to secure the handling of
this investigation. Even after the Rules
COMMITTEES had reported today Mr.. Brock
enridge of the Appropriations committee
tried to get through substitute dividing
the work between both committees, but
it was defeated.
Menu ers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee were at once informally notified
that meeting OF the committee would be
held this week to begin an investigation.
1t will be made, according to Mr.. Sprin
ger, by the full committee in open ses-
sion.
The Senate bill enlarging the provisions
of the act for a distribution of awards
under the La Guayra claims passed. The
effect is to refer the whole matter to the
court of claims, with power of appeal by
either party.
The House then adjourned.
