SUPREME COURT.

Two Equity Cases Heard This Morn
In the Supreme Court this morning the
case brought by John w. Slater. trustee,
against Samuel Ames, assignee of the
Oriental Mills, was heard. 1t is claimed
by the complainant that Mr. Slater,
who was trustee of the estate of a Mrs.
Read, loaned to the Oriental Mills sos
shares of stock in the New York Provi-
dence and Boston X. r. to be used as
collateral security to raise money for use
in the mills. The stock was afterward
sold by the PLEDGES, bringing a surplus
of some $4,000 over the amount for
which it was pledged. The complainant
now brings this action to cover the
amount of this surplus. The matter was
held tor advisement.
The court then heard dem urrer to a
bill brought by about 100 mem bers of the
Portuguese Beneficial Association against
the association itself. 1t is claimed
that the association instructed a
committee of its members to pro-
cure charter from the General
Assembly, which tho commit ee did,
but kept the charter and conducted the
organization without regard to the other
members. The members r.ow ask the
court to compel the committee to deliver
the charter and to enjoin them from using
the association name The ground of the
defense taken in the demurrer is that the
court has no jurisdiction in regard to the
charters of COrDoratiOns

M NALLY'S DIFFICULTY.
Chairman Owen Says He Did Not
Threaten that Gentleman.
HE TALKED WITH GEN. BRENNAN
The Good Humored Chairman Says He
Isn't Giving Himself Away in Public
Some Democrats Think 1t an Anti
McNalIy scheme and Don't Like 1t.

The Democratic Carroll Brennan anti
McNally agitation does not assume such
proportions as the movement for the sup
preston OF vice, but it is creating a good
deal of talk among the Democrats all
over the State.
There are differences OF opinion rs to
what the charges of Mayor Carroll
against Mr. McNally amount to, many
persons believing that whatever PROPOSE
ton that gentleman made to Col. Wat
son was in the nature of a scheme to find
out how he stood In regard to the
liquor dealers. and finding that he
was not to be handled by them
he reported the same and in that way
Mayor Potter got the liquor votes and
was elected. Others think that Mr.. Nc
Nally was earnestly trying to conserve
The interests Of the city, party or no
party.
A story was put into circulation to the
effect that Chairman Owen of the Demo
cratic state committee had said that he
would ask Mr.. McNally TO resign from
the state central committee on account Of
the affair. To-day Mr. Owen stated to a
NEWS reporter that he had said nothing
of the kind.

:" did not say anything one way or
another, but suppose the reporter who
circulated the statement saw some body
who knew of that conversation" Mr.
Owen said that he had lived too long TO
make such statements In advance, or on
the spur Of the moment.

too busy talking OF the suppression of

will undoubtedly loon up" some way or
another

Miss Ida Klein is no stranger TO Provi-

the demand for another song she gave
the simple beautiful ''Suwanse River -

climax OF the evening, and nothing would

in HIS OWN DEFENCE.
Or. Briggs De6es the Presbytery to
Adjudge Him Guilty.
HAS NOT VIOLATED ANY LAWS.
He Desires a Righteous verdict-Pres-
bytery Could Not Adjudge Him Guilty
for Denying Something ON Which the
Westminster Confession is silent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The trial OF Prof.
Briggs was resumed yesterday. Prof.
Briggs continued his argument. He said
he would continue the discussion on the
church as fountain of divine truth, dur
ing which he defed the Presbytery to
prove him guilty Of the charges pre-
feired against him, because il could not
be shown by the prosecution that any OF
the laws Of the church, nor tenets of the
Westminster confession or book of dis
clpllne had been violated by him. Even
II he had said things that were in opposi-
tion to the Interpretation placed upon
passages by the synod, they could not
convict him without due consideration
OF his teachings, because all synods since
the time OF the Apostles have many times
been proved In error; so that his teach
lngs were entitled to as much considera-
tion as the Interpretation now accepted
by the church.
Having finished with charges one and
two, Prof. Briggs took up charge three,
which accuses him of teaching that errors
may have existed in the original text OF
the Holy Scriptures, as it came from its
authors. The Presbytery, he said, could
not adjudge him guilty because he con
tended there were errors in the original
text OF the Scriptures, because the West
minister confession did not say there were
no errors. He said that he held that there
are
Errors In the Holy Scriptures,
as written, but he did not mean by that
that there were errors in the word of
God, or that the errors precluded true
Interpretation of the word Of God.
The prosecution, he said, contends that
the Bible was not only composed but
written by God. This Is absurd. God
did not compose a line Of 1t, nor did he
send 1t down by holy hands from heaven.
The Bible was not written by infallible
they are human errors showing the lack
OF knowledge. The only errors the speak
er ever found in the Scriptures were beyond
the range of faith and practice and there
fore did not impair the infallibility of the
HOLY Scriptures rs q rule OF faith and
practice.
The professor summed up In masterly
way the verdict of unquestioned Biblical
authorities az sustaining his position and
declared that he placed the word of God
against the clumsy charges of an arrogant
party OF self-constructionists who would
destroy the Presbyterian church and make
Ii only sect.

thousands for salvation, he challenged q
verdict.
During the recess taken to allow Prof.
Briggs to rest his voice, he presented to

Pentateuch and that the Book of Joshua
was not written by Joshua.

he first appeared in sight the applause
that rose spontaneously from the thou

from the city. but satisfaction at his great
honor.
Col. Reeves responded in feeling
manner. saying that he wished to say a
word regarding the rumors that had
been going the rounds about the breaking
up OF the great band. "Here is the band
aud that is enough to say" he said, "and
with those noble men at my back and my
friends before me, there see .ns to be little
left to want on this earth"
After the applause had died out the
program was resumed and it was such a
program as delights the heart of lovers
OF fine music. The great bandmaster
has the same control OF the grand band
that he always had of his own American
and the finish and harmony with which
they obsy the magic baton can never be
surpassed.

An Insane Man Tells n Strange Tale In
Court.
A very peculiar case Of insanity was
brought to the notice of the Sixth Dis-
trict Court this morning. Edward
Steadman. man whose every appear
ance was unlike that of person of un-
sound mind, was examined as to his men
tai condition. DIR. Palmer testified that
he had examined the man and that In his
opiuion he was insane. During his con-
versation with Steadman he had derived
the following facts as TO his life; 1t
seems that Steadman was married In this
city in 1882, but it was not many years
before he and his wife separated, the
woman retaining possession OF the chi Id.
AT this time Steadman was employed
by the Postal Telegraph Company, but
left his position and entered the employ
OF a Mr.. Thomas, in the electric busi-
ness. Losing this job, he went to Boston
and there his prosecutions, as he alleges,
commenced. He claims that he was
driven from one boarding house to
taunted him, but whom he could not see.
He came to this city to escape his evil
genius but was followed, and wherever
he went, in crowded halls or in the quiet
OF his own rooms he was continually
taunted by the voices.
Steadman went to New York, but could
not escape, aud there his prosecutions
took on still moe pronounced form.
Several times, he claims, the prosecutors
stung him, raising great punches on his
body and causing him the most excruciat-
ing agony. He was driven nearly wild
and fled from the CITY. but could not
escape from his tormentors, who stung
him and continually dinned their tauuts
in his ears.
At last, driven to desperation by his
sufferings, he purchased revolver and
commenced to lire at random, hoping to
bring down some of his prosecutors, but
the only game he did bring down was q
detail OF Waterbury police, who put him !.
behind bars for carrying concealed
weapons, and later allowed him TO come
to this city.
Such was his narrative to the doctor :
and such WAS the story he told whea
place1 on the stand, and the Judge
thought the best place for him would be
at the State Asylum, so he was quietly
led to carriage and will be taken 1T /.
once to the asylum.
