his position and was completely
exonorated by the investigation that
was held, and now that it is over he re-
signs to engage in business, which he
before contemplated. AS to the char
acter Of that business the general would

The strike was caused BY the discharge

good for mntilated coins. AL

Little Likelihood There VIII Be Any Ma

4 ST. PAUL, Nov. "A circular has
been sent from Chicago addressed to the
passenger department of every railroad
in the United States, Canada and Mex
leo, requesting that representative be
sent to q mass meeting Of railroad men
to be held in the Auditorium hotel on
the 21st inst, to determine ON basis OF
rates for the worlds fair and on methods
OF handling traffic. From what can be
gathered fro n various expressions Of
opinion there appears to be strong dis
inclination to accord much, If any, re-
duction in the regular schedule of rates,
The railroads claim that in any event
they will have all the traffic they can
handle at the tariff rates, and fail to see
why they should make any reduction.
From present appearances it seems that
the utmost concession will be reduction
to one fare and third on certain trains,
while all passengers on trains running
sleepers win be compelled to pay full
tariff rate. The meeting of the 21st
inst. will probably decide what the rul-
ing rate shall be.

Fiendish Husband Nearly Roasts His wife
Alive.
HAzELToN, Pa, Nov. "a fiendish
husband attempted to burn his wife at
the stake at Yorkton recently, and
might have succeeded but for the timely
arrival Of neighbors. Stephen Andrews
had always lived happily with his wife
until recently he has been accusing her
OF not being faithful to her marriage
vows. Matters came to crisis shortly
after daylight, when Andrews, in 4 fit
of madness, prepared to burn his wife
alive. The FIRE was prepared, and the
woman bound and the roast
ing began. The woman's screams
attracted passers. who broke open the
little cottage and rescued the woman.
She was unconscious. Her feet and
hands were badly burned and blis.ers
raised over body. The brutal hu.band
thus foiled made another attempt to
take her life with an axe. He was dis
armed, and during the excitement,
which had now become intense, fed to
the mountains. A posse is in pursuit Of
him. The injuries sustained by the
woman are so serious that they are
likely TO prove fatal.

New YoRK, Nov. 9.--The trial cf
Professor Charles A. Briggs of Union
theological seminary, for heresy, will
begin in the assembly room Of the
Scotch Presbyterian church on Four
teenth street. near Sixth avenue, during
the afternoon. The public will
be admitted to the galleries of the
church during the trial, the body of the
church being reserned for members Of
the New York presbytery, who will act
as the jury. DR.. Bliss, of the Washing
ton Heights church will be the modera-
tor. The sessions of the presbytery will
be from . to5 p. m. each day, and the
trial will proceed continuously till the
end, the court adjournirg over each
Saturday and Sunday.
The trial viii probably be very long
one, for after both sides rest the doors
will be closed and the presbytery will
sit in secret Judgment. Each member
may make speech when he votes and
all of the 2l5 presbyters are likely to
take advantage of the opportunity to
express their opinions.
This is the fourth trial for heresy In
the history Of the American Presby
terrain church, and is most important,
for il touches the most vital doctrine Of
the church.
The indictment against DR.. Briggs
says that his teaching is contrary to the
doctrine of the Presby terian church, and
that the Bible Is the only infallible rule
of faith and practice, and that he teaches
doctrine of an intermediate state after
death, which Is contrary to the teachings
Of the Bible and the Westminster con-
fession.
To these charges DR.. Briggs win read
his reply denying the chage Of heresy,
which was given to the public Ut the
hearing last year. This reply makes
general denial of the charges. In it the
learned doctor denies the essentiality of
the contested doctrines, and claims that
the construction placed upon his words
by his accusers is not correct.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 9.--Leading citi-
zens have advised the governor to take
charge OF the city in order that ariot
and loss of property may not be precipi-
tated. The mayor has not sworn in any
special officers, because, he says. no
necessity for them has yet arisen. The
electric light people notified the COVER
nor and the municipal authorities that
the city win be in darkness owing to the
strike and threats of violence made
against their workmen. Both sides are
still firm and business is tied up. No
attempt has been made to operate street
cars.
The city had on holiday appearance
everywhere except among the merchants
against whom the strikes are aimed and
they will carry on their business until
prevented by violence. They say that q
number Of union men are willing to re-
turn but they did not propose TO make
targets Of the unions until they were
ready for vigorous defense and so de-
clined to take them back for the present
The strike also failed to affect the news
papers to the extent expected and the
only paper which has so far failed to
appear Is The Item, which is the official
organ of the strikers.
The center Of activity was the city
hall where the mayor and his advisors
spent the day. During the morning q
proclamation was issued calling upon
all persons to preserve the peace and
warning them that disorder and vio-
lence viii be at once suppressed and the
guilty punished. During the afternoon
President Leverth. of the Sugar and
Rice exchange, called and asked that
protection be furnished those interests.
Nearly 1900 barrels Of sugar and mo
lasses besides other products and mer-
chandise lay on the levee, he said, at
the mercy Of the public tumult. The
board Of trade also urged the mayor to
do his best to bring about the resump-
tion of street car travel and the ,contin.
uance OF the supply of gas, electricity
and water In order to provide for the
protection Of life and property and for
the convenience of citizens. The mayor
promised 10 do all he could to maintain
order. The electric light and gas COM
panies called on the mayor and said
they thought they could furnish light if
they We're afforded protection, which
was readily promised.
