EN PReseYTERIANS IN SESSION.
They viii Probably Decide the Tronblou
Briggs Case.

VEey VIII PROBABLY Decide the IrOnDlOus
Briggs Case.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Presbyteri-
an general assembly has begun a mo-
mentous session here, its first one in this
city for forty-one years. At this session
the Briggs case will come up for final
decison, and all the leaders of church
thought are present. The first session was
begun with religious service in the New
York Avenue church, where Lincoln wor-
SHIPPED, and his pew-of walnut-has been
put in its original place, all the other pews
being of oak now. Moderator William G.
Young, of Danville, Ky, was in the char,
and after singing and prayer he preached
the opening sermon.
His sermon was disquisition on the Bible
which he claimed, when freed from all
errors of translation, to be the very enact
ment of God. Jesus Christ had recognized
the Old Testament as the utterance of God
to its minutest detail, and upon no other
theory of belief could the church claim n
divine and infalllble constitution.
The afternoon session was occupied with
the election of a moderator The nominees
We're Rev. c. y. Dickey, of Philadelphia;
Rev. q. n. Baker, same city; Rev. w. j.
Craig, of Mccormick university, Chicago;
Rev. c. W. Stewart of Washington. Rev.
Dickey withdrew his name. and so did Rev.
Stewart, and DR.. Craig was elected on first
ballot. He was warmly applauded.
\ number of felicitous speeches fol-
lowed the in duction of the moderator into
the chair, and the Rev. DIR. Bartlett then
welcomed the assembly to Washington.
Assistants to the stated clerk were then
appointed and a Sunday fair closing reso-
luton unanimously adopted and copies or
dered sent to President Cleveland and
Hon. T. W. Palmer and the assembly adj
journed for the day.

THE CARRIER NOT RESPONSIBLE,
Jury Decision in Shit Resulting From
the TioGa Explosion.

CHICAGO. May 19.-The suit brought by
Hoda BraXton against the Union Steam
boat company for 5000 for the loss of her
husband, colored dock hand, who lost
his life in an explosion of naphtha on board
the steamer Tioga in July, 1899, was 6e-
cided By jury in the federal court in
favor of the defendant. The explosion was
caused by the lowering of lighted lantern
into the h old of the stea mship, which was
filed with barrels of naphtha that had
been shipped by the Genesee Oil works of
Buffalo to its agents here. Instead of bear
ing the legal brand of naphtha the barrels
were marked only Diamond b
Counsel for plaintiff sought to fix the re-
sponsibility on the carriers on the ground
that the barrels were not marked in ac-
cordance with law, though accepted as
freight, and also that several employees of
the company had knowledge of the real
character of the shipments Defendant s
attorneys disclaimed all responsibility
claiming that they had accepted the bar
rels in good faith from the consignors as
containing only a safe oil. The case was
of great interest to lawyers as fixing the
responsibility of the lake carriers, and also
of much Importance to the relatives of the
twenty-one men killed by the explosion

BIPARTISAN MILITIA FORCE.

ministration.

TOPEKA. Kan, May 19.-The state mill
tary board in session here had under con-
sideration Adjutant General Artz's plan to
organize militia force of $4,000 men, the
idea being to have an army in readiness in
case the trouble of last winter over the or
ganization of the legislature should be re-
peated. The adjutant's generals scheme
provoked considerable discussion, but it
finally failed of adoption owing to the oppo-
sition of the governor and the lieutenant
governor. 1t was finally decided that
militia force of 1900 men only should be
maintained, and that all of the companies
in the state should be reorganiZed, and only
men friendly to the administration be per-
mitted to enlist. The force is to be thor
oughly drilled and rifle practices are to be
had monthly.

BROUGHT TITO BAY
The Great Whisky Trust on the
Defensive.
FORCED INTO COURT BY ILLINOIS

The State Demands to Know Why the
DistilIery and Feeding Company Should
BE Permitted to Exist-The Company
Charged with Ev aiding the Law and
Usurping Unrighteous Powers - Sum-
mons Served on Greenhut.
CHICAGO. May 19-An action at law to
break the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
company with its s35, coo, 900 capital, other
wise known as the Whisky Trust, has been
begun in the circuit court here. 1t is a
quo warranto proceeding, brought by At
torney General Moloney in the name OF the
people of the state of Illinois to compel the
trust to appear in court and show by what
right it has misused and perverted its
franchises, and now assumes such liberties,
powers, and privileges as it exercises.
The Court Orders the Rule.
A petition for leave to file information in
the quo warranto proceedings was pre-
sented to Judge Tuley by the attorney gen
eral, accompanied by Judge Moran and
Levy Mayer, of counsel in the case The
court ordered a rule nisi entered against
the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company
to appear at 10 a. m. May g to show cause.
If any they can, why leave should not be
granted to file information in the nature of
a quo warranto. The court ordered that g
summons might issue against any officer
of the company, and the bulky petition
was then taken down to the Office of the
clerk, where it was filed
Substance of the Petition.
The petition sets out the offenses against
the law committed by the trust by reviewing
at length the history of the corporation,
declaring that it lis been operated in such
manner that it has evaded the law and
usurped powers not legally conferred upon
it. The petitioner alleges that the concern
exercises such power of control over the
output of distillery products and over deal
ers as to destroy all competition in their
manufacture and sale. That it has eX-
ceeded its franchise in acquiring the whole
property and rights of certain distilleries
and closing them, thus destroying all di-
versity of competition between them and
the distilleries operated by the trust. BY
means of n rebate system, it is alleged, the
company is enabled TO bring under its CON
troll every dealer who becomes a patron Of
it and thus force him to give the company
his exclusive trade, thus enabling it to
dictate prices to consumers at pleasure.
Greenhu: Served with a Summons.
President Greenhut was standing in the
corridor of the Grand Pacific when an
officer served him with II summons to APP
pear on the Goth inst. to answer quo
warranto proceedings. Later when made
acquainted with the charges he said: Il
don't know what Is behind it. Neither /
nor any of may colleagues on this board CT
directors had any intimation of this action.
l can't conceive who is inspiring it. Ger
tainly not the stockholders who protested
against the bond issue. Their opposition
sprang from n belief that the bonds would
send down the stock, bat today's quota
tions are evidence that the stock will not
be affected.

a Connecticut Poet.

There is a movement in Connecticut to
erect a monument to the memory Of the
poet, James Gates Percival. He was a
peculiar man and had all Of the poets
idiOsyncraSieS. On II occasion he was
invited to meet a number Of gentlemen
in New Haven, who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas
ure Of meeting the poet. He was to be,
in fact, the hOnored guest of the even
ing. They were all on hand, but Per-
cival did not put in an appearance. Al
lowance was made for his utter indiffer-
ence to the passing Of time, and up to
midnight he was expected.
At last, as morning drew near, deem
ing it certain that the poet had forgot
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up the bars and went
to bed. At about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing he heard some II at his front door,
went down, asked the object of the call
and found that it was Percival. The as
tonished host let the poet in, and the lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there were
to be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him
self down for a good smoke and talk,
which kept up, to his hosts embarrass-
ment, till the sun rose.-BOston Tran

People Who Takr Oncnsc lastly.

IL this world there are Z certain Class
IF individuals who roam about with a
chip on their shoulders, daring others to
knock it OF just fer the luxury Of IN
dulging in a first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet dispositioned
ones this seems a very questionable sort
Of enjoyment, Yet to some a WOrdy war
Or a full fledged feud constitutes the
chief excitement Of their lives.
These people always have a quarrel on
hand. Ii it isn't a family affair, then
outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take o~lTensa, both il public and
private, and have no scruples about eX-
pressing themselves on paper when they
haven't a chance to do SO verbally. 1t is
this penchant for writing letters that
helps TO keep them continually in hot
water, as the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them eve
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, if there were any sense in this
sort Of conduct, there would be some e
cuse fer it, but there isn't, and, more
over, it makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on the outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for a time ii your
secret heart you wish you had not been
quite SO ready to quarrcl.-New York
