THE SMITH HEREsY.
Tho Closing of the T,iaI-viOws of the Tn'
spiratiou OF tho Biblo.

CrxcINxArI, O., Nov. 29.-The entire
forenoon session of the Cincinnati Pres
bytery was spent in discussion of the
suficiency in form and legal effect of
the third charge and specification
against Prof. Henry P. Smith. Speeches
on the question were made by Drs.
Roberts, Robertson, Leonard and Richie
on behalf OF sustaining the work OF the
committee and by Revs. Taylor, Acks-
man and Gilchrist against.
DR.. Roberts, with the main question
evidently in his mind, said with en-
phasis that there was crisis in the
Presbyterian church OF the gravest ma
turc. There was an attempt to force a
theory OF inspiration upon the church.
Prof. Smith asked if he meant that he,
il sustained by the presbytery, would
bring those to trial who did not agree
with him.
Mr.. Roberts replied that he referred
to forcing Of a theory by other meth
ods than judicial process. The doctor
went on to explain his view of the in
spiration of the scriptures, by saying
ue ulu uOb UelleNG III NCAOnA tllHPti obtSAA
but in plenary inspiration. He did not
believe, as Professor Smith apparently
taught, that the scriptures contained
the word OF God as water is contained
in cup, but as silver is contained in
dollar, every grain silver
The vote had not been reached at the
noon adjournment.
At the afternoon session, after two
hours more Of discussion, q yea and nay
vote was taken on the question OF sus.
tanning the suiIiciency in form and legal
effect OF the third charge.
1t showed what had been foreshad-
owed in the debate that at least two
members OF the court had come over to
the side OF the accused. One was the
Rev. Hugh Gilchrist, pastor OF the
church in which the court sits, and the
other was Rev. @. T. Walker. The lat
ter in his remarks on the discussion
said that if ministers holding the views
which Prof. Smith has taught are to be
subjected to trials, the presbytery will
have enough heresy trials to keep it
busy for three years.
The sufticiency OF the third charge
was sustained-yeas 40, nays 90.
The court is now ready to begin the
formal trial.

BRIGGS uEREsY TRIAL.
Tho Interest InOreasing-The Fourt
Charge Stricken Out of the Indictment.

Tho Interest InGreasing-The Fourth
Charge Stricken Out of the Indictment.
New York, Nov. 29.-The first i'm
portant question to come up in the
second session of the Briggs trial this
afternoon is the stand which the pros.
ecuting committee would decide to take
in regard 10 Professor Briggs objections
to the charges and the demand that
numbers and 7 be stricken out. In
spite of the storm without the old
church was almost as well filed as yes
terday, hardly member being absent.
To-day's session was opened with
PRAYER and after the roll was called the
floor was given to the prosecuting COM
mittee.
DR.. Briggs friends and opponents
alika realized that crisis was immi-
nent and evory step in to-day's proceed
ings was followed with intense interest
Moderator Bliss announced that the
business before the court was the con-
sideration of the motion to strike out
the two charges referred to and then
DR.. Alexander, who offered tho motion,
had the floor.
DR.. Barth madeothe point OF order
that the protest made by DR.. Briggs
Yesterday was menace to the exist
ence of the court and could not, there
fore, be considered.
The moderator made no ruling on tho
point.
Col. McCook then rose aud read the
opinion OF the committee on the motion
and argued that the two charges could
not be dropped.
The fourth charge could not be drop
pod because DR.. Briggs denial Of the
fulfillment OF the details of prophesy
was a denial OF tho truthfulness Of the
Bible and an impeachment OF the omni-
potence OF God.
DR.. Alexander interrupted Col. Nc
Cook by insisting that the committee
men had no right to argue on the objec-
ton, and Col. McCook resumed his seat.
DR.. Briggs took the floor and said that
one OF Col. McCook's points was based
on a typographical error in the printed
copv, and must be dropped. He de.
cared that the offer made yesterday to
waive his objection to the six other
charges was made conditionally.
Dr. Robinson, the great hymn writer,
wanted to know what the conditions
we're. He was answered by DR.. Van
Dyke, and corroborated by the defend
ant, that the condition was that the
charges, which embodied two different
counts, should be divided. The pastor
Of the church in which the trial is be-
ING held moved that the committees
charges be considered seriatim, and that
until the fourth charge was reached the
motion to strike it out be laid on the
table. This motion was lost, and DR..
Alexander's motion to strike outcharge
four was taken up.
A vote was taken and the motion was
carried by the decided vote of seventy
to forty-nine.
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

The court then took recess till to-
morrow afternoon.

in little over an hours time. OF these
fifty-three were brought down at one
spot. -Four black ducks, which left the

Mr.. Cleveland then returned to the

throughout the entire afternoon.
During the afternoon Samuel Kelly,
a venerable man OF over seventy years,
who was born on Broadwater Island, ,
and has never travelled farther than
Norfolk, called on Mr.. Cleveland and
was pleasantly received.
While out cunning on the beach Mr..
Cleveland was an eye witness OF a
thrilling spectacle. Five residents OF
Cobbs' Island were on their way in q
two-sailed boat to Broadwator, for the
purpose Of paying their respects to the
President-elect. While in the great
Machipongo inlet, between White
Point and Coe Point, opposite the U. s.
Life saving station, the boat capsized,
throwing the occupants into the water.
All OF the party would have certainly
been drowned had it not been for the
prompt assistance of the life saving
crew, who succeeded in bringing them

ANOTHER RonBERY.
Bold Bank breakers of tho Jesse james
Style Unsuccessful.


ALLENTOWN, N. j., Nov. 29.-Two
daring robbers entered the Farmers
National Bank here this afternoon, and
covering the cashier and teller with re-
volvers, relieved them OF nearly $1,000.
Later the robbers were captured and
the money recovered.
II was Just before o'clock and the
cashier was preparing to close the bank
when the robbers entered, In the
bank at the time were Cashier Hutch
inson and Teller Smith. Within easy
reach OF the cashier was Sl,S94 in bills.
The men stepped up to the desk, and
whom Mr.. Hutchinson looked up, his
eyes lighted on the baerels OF two re-
volyers held close to his face. "Turn
your face to the wall, sternly demand
ed the elder OF tho men. The teller
glanced up at the remark, and another
revolver was instantly pointed at him.
He understood the situation, and fol-
lowed his chiefs example. "Now,
then" said the spokesman of the rob.
ers, lis this all the money you haveS
"Yes," replied the cashier. THAT is
ALL"
"Thats all, }" said the robber who was
conducting the scheme. Just keep
your face to the wall ior five minutes
and you'll not be harmed"
Leaving the bank they started on
swift run towards the Imlaystown
road, They had hardly reached the
walk when Mr.. Hutchinson started
after them, followed by teller. Once
in the street, both men cried stop
thief" as loudly as they could.
Hearing the cries several shopkeepers
ran into the street with their revolvers
and they joined in the chase. In q
short time they were joined by several
farmers armed with shot guns. The
thieves who were almost 1oundering in
the mud realized that their pursuers
had gained on them, attempted to
Jump fence, but the rails were wet
and they slipped back. Before they
could arise Cashier Hutchinson was
upon them and cried out Throw up
your hands" Turning around, the
thieves saw themselves confronted by
more than a score of revolyers and shot
guns and they yielded.

NEW YoRK, Nov 29.-Among the
latest decisions handed down by the
court OF appeals was one which, under
the title of "Clark R. Griggs vs. Mel
vile Q. Day, as executor of Cornelius
u. Garrison" has a curious history,
both by reason OF the large amount OF
money involved and the persistency
with which the questions involved have
been litigated for nine years.
In July, 1888, Griggs, who had been
the contractor for Commodore Garrison
in the building of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie railroad from Toledo to Wheeling,
sued Garrison in New York for an ac-
counting, and claimed there was due
him over one million dollars, while the
defendant, Garrison, asserted that
Griggs owed him over 100000. The
trial was begun in 1884 before a referee,
who in 1889 decided that Griggs owed
Garrison's estate $2,17l, 1896 81. The
costs OF this trial we're $22, 1856 10. In
the meantime, Commodore Garrison
QleQ u0u MS 6GeCuLOEp 4heINlHo W lay
took up the fight for the estate. From
this judgment Griggs appealed to the
general term OF the superior court OF
New York City, where the Judgment
was reversed and new trial ordered.
On the second trial the referee de-
cided that Garrison's estate owed Griggs
Sl7l,677. The costs taxed by Griggs in
this trial amounted to Sl6,4l2 90. The
fees of the first referee, Mr.. Ransom,
we're S4,250, of the second, M. Odell,
$4,000, and of the third, Mr.. Horn
blower, $500.
From the judgment OF $lSS, ,0S9, the
estate in turn appealed to the general
term of the superior court OF New York
City, where the judgment of Mr.. Horn.
blower was affirmed. Then the second
and final appeal was taken by the
estate to the court ofappeals at Albany,
where the second judgment was rem
dered in favor OF Garrison's estate, and
thus at the end Of nine years OF litiga-
ton, put an end to the long and weary
fight. The amount finally awarded was
S2,l94,1Sl.

New Cabinet
PARIS, Nov. 29.-The majority in the
chamber of deputies which overthrew
the government yesterday by refusing
to vote the order OF the day, as re-
quested by Prime Minister Loubet, was
made up of 12l Republicans and 172
members OF the Right and Boulangists.
The minority on division comprised
1893 Republicans and two members Of
the Right. Fifty-six members ab-
stained from voting, including fifty Re-
publicans. President Carnot held q
conference with NJ. Loubet this morn
ing. he has summoned NJ. Floquet,
president OF the chamber of deputies,
and Senator LeRoyer to consult on the
situation. 1t is reported that If III.
Brisson declines to form a ministry,
President Carnot will ask NJ. Trard or
n. Bourgeois, former ministers, to
undertake the task. 1t is certain that
NJ. DeFreycinet, NJ. Ribot and some
other members OF tho Loubet ministry
will be in the new cabinet. The Re
public Frqncaise deplores the political
confusion, which it says was never be-
fore so complete. The crisis, it adds,
will serve the interests OF the enemies
Of the republic. The conservative press
is delighted at the upset of tho min
istry.
1t is rumored tonight that neither
M. De Freycinet or NJ. Ribot will accept
Office under NJ. Brisson, who, it is said,
intends to take the ministry Of Justice
in addition to assuming the duties Of
prime minister.
The committee examined number

ny. The witness admitted, however,
that he had nothing to prove the truth
of what he said.

TWO VIEWS OF 1T.
How De RothschilIs Proposition is Re
gardod in New York.

HOW De AEbponAbA0h AS Afu-
Enrded in New York.
New York, Nov. 20. : Alfred dc
Rothschild's g otherwise Great Britain's)
proposals to the international monetary
conference yesterday are received with
both approval and condemnation by
New York financiers.
President ]. Edward Simmons, of the
Fourth National Bank, said to-day:
II would not like to express final
opinion on the proposition until ac-
ouainted with all the details involved in
the plan proposed. The European
powers combined would only buy 5,000,-
600 pounds of silver, or about 10000, 900
ounces, and we, single nation, would
be bound to buy twice as much each
year. That would be throwing too
heavy a burden upon US, and the adj
vantage would all be on the other side.
As it appears now, do not see where
our relief would come in"
The other side may be taken from
the remarks OF Henry Clews, who said:
tThe step proposed by Mr.. Rothschild
is one in the right direction, think.
Its immediate effects upon money it
self would not be so great, but the moral
effect would be most important. Should
the governments OF Europe agree to buy
100000 pounds Of silver yearly for five
years, 1t would indicate that they un-
derstood Americas situation and are
anxious to help her as much as in their
power"
