A Romaliist on the BRIGGS Case.

WAsHINGToS, May 3l.-Rev. Father Du
cey, of New York, is expressing himself
quite freely regarding the Briggs case. HE
says: 81 trust the ecclesiastical jury will
not execute this man either with rope or
by electricity. DIR. Briggs, hope, will pull
through. He is a scholar and an honest
man, and almost the only man practicing
on the basic principle of Professionalism
private Interpretation of the Scriptures.
Catholics will not be frightened if science
should knock the bottom out of the Old
Testament. We have never claimed the
Bible as rule of faith. Biblical scholars
in Catholic and Protestant churches would
not contend that Moses W rote everything
in the pentateuch, or that David is the sole
author of the Psalms"

REVIEWED BY COL. M'COOk.

The Appellee's Argument Goes Through
Severe Examination.
Colonel McCook for the appellants began
his address at $40 p. IN. He claimed that
the case before the presbytery was one OF
fact and not of law; that the charges con-
tanned only matter which the defendant
admitted having uttered; and that the YER
dict should have been guilty. The case
was one which could not be decided by &C.
casional polernics on Presbyterian doctrine,
but must be decided by the highest tribun-
al in accordance with the constitution and
standards Of the church. The defendant
had stood here and said: yes, the words
are mine, but 1 do not admit the facts
stated therein"
This was paltry quibbling. Colonel Nc
Cook said he would cite but one instance
of this. In charge eight the committee al
legged that DR.. Briggs had taught that
ranctification is not complete at death,
which is contrary to the essential doctrine
of the Holy Scripture and of the standards
of the said church that the souls of be-
levers are at their death at once made
perfect in holiness" DR.. Briggs had ar
gued by the hour that the words "at once
were not the equivalent of Immediately"
in answer to the eighty-siXth question of
the larger catechism.
In conclusion Colonel McCook said: at
seems almost incredible that the appellee
after reaffirmiug often the alleged err
roneous doctrines for which he has been
put on trial should appear before this
court with series of orthodox statements
for the utterances of which he is not and
never has been on trial. The question Is
not whether he has once or twice taught
what was orthodox. The trial is on the
doctrines of the inaugural address, which
are offenses against Presbyterian doc
trines. There is 10 room for obscurlty
here
1.-THE array of authorities which the APP
pellee has cited in opposition to the Presby-
terrain doctrine Of Scripture is no doubt
imposing. do not regulate my loyalty ac-
cordinC to the conclusions of foreign doc
trinairies. In like manner those OF us who
are loyal to the constitution of the Presby-
terrain church are not called on to alter our
views with respect to our Presbyterian
constitution and doctrine at the bidding OF
unbelievers, however high their position.
Oxford Episcopalians and German ration
alists do not interpret the Presbyterian
constitution and doctrine"
The prosecution took over four hours to
present its case and when Colonel McCook
had closed it was discovered that Decora-
ton Day had been forgotten. The assem-
bly, then rose and sang America" and then
it was also discovered that thus far no
especial prayer for the president of the
United States had been offered. Professor
Brown filed up this omission, and recess
to 1:45 p. m. was taken. Upon reassembling
Professor Brown spoke for the New York
presbytery. Rev. X. b. Booth, of that
presbytery. spoke against it, with regret,
he said. Anumber of other commissioners
spoke pro and con.
The assembly adjourned at 10 p IN.
with the speaking not yet done, but it Is
expected that a vote will be reached today

WILL BE ExcoMMUNICATIoN.
But Mrs JAS G.. Blaine, Jr. Is Married
Again All the Same

NEW YORK, May 31.-Mrs. James G.
Blaine, Jr., divorce, has been married
again, this time to DR.. w. T. Bull, whose
skill saved her life when she was so i'll that
others gave her up,and the wedding besides
possessing this romantic interest is much
discussed because of its effect on the re-
ligion connection of the bride. Mrs. Bull
is a Roman Catholic, and DR.. Bull is a
Protestant So was young Jim" Blaine,
but dispensation was obtained Tor that
marriage.
This second matrimonial connection has
another ecclesiastical feature. Mrs. Bull
was an unmarried woman by the grace of
the courts, and Rome permits no remar-
riages in that case until one or the other
party is dead. The church rules are very
strict on this point, and the act of marrying
practically communicates the one DISC
beying the church law. The anathema
marantha is not pronounced, but the OF
fender is excluded from mass until the Of
Tense is removed.

GREsHAM'S COURAGE.
A Bully Cowed by the Present Secre-
tary of State.


Gresham is as well known for his phvsi-
cal courage as for any of his other traits.
1t is told OF him that In 1866, when he was
running for Congress against Michael C..
Kerr both candidates happened to have hit
one day upon the same place and the same
hour for public NEE ting. An immense
crowd gathered, large share of it being
made up of the political enemies of Gres-
ham. 1t was decided that the speakers on
both sides should be heard, the Democrats
first and the Ret ubIicans alterTard.
When 1t came Gresh8m's turn to speak, a
big hully in the audience, with a pistol
fastened cons spicunusly outside Of his cloth
ing, attempted 10 howl him down. Gresham
insisted on being heard. The bully kept up
his disturbance and Gresham presently
sprang down from the stage and advanced
upon the troublesome auditor. II cane
here TO make speech" he said, "and | am
going to make il. My friends and l have
listened cOurteOusly TO the speeches oil your
side, and all we ask is that those whn don't
want to give us fair play in return shall quit
the place. As for you personally" shaking
his finger omlnouSly at The Gi>turbpr, " |
know y0g for vegabOnd and a scoundrel
You are the man who shot Enrolling Officer
b and threw his body into the Wabash
RiverH
The charge created great excitement, for
the substance of it had been secretly whis-
Dered about the neighborhood for years.
The accused drew his pistol, but Gresham
had one ready, too, and the pair stood facing
each other for perhaps minute in silence.
Then the bully dropped his pistol arm at
his side and SUNK away in the crowd, while
Gresham returned to the platform and coolly
finished his speech
