Rev. G. II. Wilson of Long Island said that he
did not believe man had ever been led astray
by DIR. Briggs. Hin own confidence in the
Bible was due to DR.. Briggs more than to any
other man.
Elder ]. G. Tuthill of Long Island said that
he would vote against sustaining the appeal on
the ground that he believed the verdict of the
presbytery was Just.
Elder o. P. Scovel of Niagara did not believe
that the ministry could be bound down by an
and action. The appeal should not have been
made.
Rev. Thomas C. Straus of North River, N. Y,
added word OF testimony in favor of the good
effect resulting from DIR. Briggs teachings.
Elder $. b. Ives of North River took for the
| subject OF his three minutes talk the verse,
LET him who is without sin cast the first
stone"
Louis F. Ruff of Rochester said that the ques-
ton was not one OF opinion to DIR. Briggs
views. but a question of the law and Justice Of

DR.. VIM. r. Taylor of Rochester, said that
the errancy of the Scriptures in unessentials
did not in any sense invalidate the Scriptures
as3 ground of faith and practice. In this
twilight region OF uncertainty there was room
for opinion. study and argument.
DIR. H. H. Stebbins of Rochester said that he
had reached conscientious and cordial con-
clusion and that was that the decision of the
presbytery should be affirmed. Five valid
reasons had contributed to this. DR.. Briggs
might be extra-confessional, but he was not
contra-confessionaL

ground simply that the prosecuting committee
had failed to make out a case.

A Sewer Gas Destrover.

Some of the English towns and cities
have introduced device for ventilating
sewers--a Bunsen gas burner operating
to heat to q high temperature series Of
cast iron cones over the surfaces of
which the sewer gases have to pass on
their way out to the atmosphere, which
by such contact are entirely destroyed.
In order to obviate all danger of explo-
sion caused by leakage. this new safety
furnace consists of series of cylindric-
al rings or segments, each mechanical
ly fitted. An intermediate ring divides
the combustion chamber from the verti-
cal air passages formed between the in
ner and outer ring of the furnace. The
heat of the furnace is conveyed to the
outer ring by means of thick cast iron
webs that form tiers of air channels
through which the uprising sewer air
passes, and the burner is supplied with
air taken from the outside of the "de-
structor column. New York Sun.

THE report of the expert to the COM
mittee of the council shows that there is
o shortage in the accounts of the late
street superintendent Hutchinson OF d
little over $4,000. The ex-superintendent
is in very unenvisble position. He is
permitted to have time to go over his
accounts with his bookkeeper to show,
if he can, that the shortage is apocry-
phal. He can only relieve himself of
the suspicion of having appropriated the
moneys of his Office by the negligent
way in which he kept his accounts.
There seems to have been no bookkeep-
ing 10 his department worthy of the
name, but that the bulk of the transac-
tions was merely recorded in detached
memoranda. 1t was just such a system,
or want of system, of bookkeeping, as
man would have resorted to who wished
to leave no record of the affairs of his
Office that could lead to critical exam
iDation of it's tiduciary transactions. His
accounts are in such condition that we
doubt whether they can be so deciphered
as to compel his bondsmsn to make good
any shortage which may be reported.
This case, and more recent developments
in the same Office, under his successor,
chow the urgent necessity of adopting
business-like methods in the several
departments Of the city government. No
head of department should be permit
ted to adopt go-as-you-please policy in
keeping his accounte. A prescribed
form of bookkeeping should be made for
each department, and the auditor should
be required to see that it is carried out.
He should also be required to make fre-
quent examinations of the books, and to
make special reports to the council at
stated times of this part of his duty.

THE tramp problem becomes more
serious day by day. There are
numerous healthy, strengthening men
who. after looking to see that no police
officer is observing them, will accost
pedestrians and ask for aims. One citi-
zen yesterday encountered four such
calls for charity in less than an hour
and half. Out in the suburbs and
rural places, these gentry are apt to be
bolder in their demands. A large pro-
portion of these unfortunstes are labor
ing men out OF employment vainly seek
ing work, but there are others who are
professional beggars. The best way of
extending help to any able-bodied man
is to give him employment, and some
means should be devised to assist come
of these homeless wanderers to assist
themselves. The question presents
many difficult features, but it is press
ing necessity to solve it promptly.

STANDING ARMIES AND BANKRUPTCY.

Sir Charles Dixie says in the North
American Review that, contrary to the
prevalent popular idea, the vast expsn-
ditures OF the leading European powers
for maintaining the immense military
armaments they are now carrying, are
borne by all but Italy without finan-
cial pressure which is beyond their abil-
ity to bear. The greatest expense is
that to which France is subjected, and
much of her expenditure in the last few
years is in building up powerful navy.
He says that Frances navy is next in
strength to that of Great Britain. 1t is
difficult 10 arrive at any clear idea of the
pressure of expense upon Russia for it's
military maintenance, but Sir Charles
was astonished to find that for the first
time in many years both ends nearly
met in the Russian budget last year.
He says that Germany carries the
burthen without the financial strain
that is generally supposed, and that
Austria shows no sign of approaching
bankruptcy from the colossal weight of
her military armament. 4e
Sir Charles, however, merely confines
himself to the cost in dollars and cents
to those powers of presenting to their
neighbors the warlike front they main
tain in time of peace. When the fact is
taken into consideration that these vast
armies of soldiers are taken from the
productive industries of their respective
countries, and that their numbers are
on the increase, it cannot but be be-
ieved that the sustaining power of the
producers must diminish in greater ratio
than the increase of the numerical force
of the consuming armies. 1t lie admitted
that the taxable limit of the peoples
who support these vast armies is reached
in one case and rapidly approaching in
all the others. When that limit is
reached, it is difficult to see what other
escape there is from the unbearable
pressure excepting that of disarmament.
The willing ass must sink under bur-
then greater than he can bear, and the
people from whom the, taxes are wrung
must cease to pay their exactions when
they are more than they can stand.
In the meantime the public debts are
accumulating into colossal proportions,
and the day OF settlement is nearing.
The powers cannot go on indefinitely
making loans that are never paid, and
it will require but a slight spark of
financial panic to start the whole bank
rupt system OF the deeply indebted ma
tions into conhagrat;on at which the
whole world will stand aghast.
4 We can see but one escape from this
terrible cataclysm, and that is perhaps
q greater ataclysm-a general European
war. Perhaps, after the nations have
fought with each other to exhaustion,
the slate will be wiped out, and the
peoples, satiated with carnage, will once
more turn to the peaceful arts and
build themselves again from the bottom
up. 1t really looks as if nothing but
blood-letting would bring the powers of
Europe to their senses.

A BARBER BURGLAR.
Detective Iusiey Makes a Capture 6


Detective Iusiey Makes Capture at
NorWaik.
Detective Insley yesterday arrested
barber named Jim Bowers at Norwalk,
charged with burglatizing Tom Drury's
shop, a fellow artist of Santa Ana, last
Monday night. The p!under, which
consisted of barber's outfit to the
value of $75. was found on the person OF
Bowers.
He claimed to have bought it from a
tramp, but was taken into custody just
the same.
Bowers is also suspected OF having
burglarized q jewelry store about three
months ago. At that time Detective
lnsley was detailed upon the case.
Bowers, it appears. was lady's man,
and unfortunately had two OF them on
the string at once. One OF these he
neglected. She determined to get even,

known as conspicuous club man and

Cleveland found that the leading Demo
Gratis looked upon this nomination as
one that would not rebound to the credit
of the party. and when the New York
World showed the kind of man Van
Allen was, he ought to have quietly
withdrawn bis name, and as he did not
see fit to do go, the senate should have
maintained its dignity by refusing TO
confirm his nomination.

DEMOCRATS felt greatly grieved when
news was received that the senate had
confirmed the nomination of Van Allen
as ambassador to Italy. This is by far
the most scandaloue episode that has
been developed in Cleveland's adminis-
tration. If Van Allen were even a fit
person for the high position to which he
was appointed, the circumstances made
public about the way in which the ap-
poiDtment was probably brought about
ought to have been sufficient for the
Democrats in the senate to have hung it
up. II must be evident to the slowest
understanding that Van Allen never
would have been thought of for the
place had he not contributed the extra
ordinary contribution of $4,000 to the
election fund. This might not have
been an extravagant contribution from
q rich and successful politician. But
Van Allen had never figured in politics.
Indeed, he had never voted until the

This little coup de theater OF the officer
effectually interfered with Mr.. Insley's
operations, who ought to have caught
Bowers in possession of the watches.
The detective. however, watched Bow
ers, and on learning OF Mondays rob-
berry, ascertained that Bowers had been

'Tis sunset at the Mission,
And the mellow. treni bling light.
Steals softly DER the meadow,
Like the greeting kiss of night
Lighting up the quaint old bslfry,
Where uprose the ancient chimes,
That with low, vibrating sweetness,
Called to prayers in o!den times.
Once again. in thought and fancy,
The Mission gray grows young,
Come the eowled and tandaled padres,
The chimes once more are rung
And from teeming field and meadow,
Dusty, weary, 4 ent with toll,
Flock the Missions daIk hued children,
Faithful tiIlers of the soil.
AS of yore the church is lighted
Brilliant is the altar fair
While the pesling evening anthem,
Softly noats upon the cir.
Softly hoats with sound caressing,
Humble deep-felt words of praise.
Ah aIasi tis but the echo
OF the Missions happier days.
But now the sun is sinking
And illumined C Ouds So fair
Swiftly shadow plain and mountain;
Fieecy coursers OF the cir.

With the darkness, Il tearing fast.

Booked for Petty Larceny.
Minor Cases on Trial.

A. Farling, the alleged hotel thief, who
was arrested on Sunday by Special Or
ficer Bosqui, was arraigned in Justice
Austin's court yesterday upon q charge
of burglary.
Farling is accused OF breaking into the
room of Hollenbeck guest and stealing
therefrom mileage ticketvalued at SIS.
Farling's preliminary hearing was set
for October 24.h.
R. Swan, Harry Morgan and Dan Nc
Mahon we're committed to Whittier yes
terday by Justice Austin.
The boys have been before justice
Austin on several occasions, and have
been treated with leniency. They have
been in the habit of stealing rides on
the cars at the San Fernando-street
depot. Swan and Morgan tramped from
the north to Los Angeles, and have been
living in bad company since, and Nc
Mahon has already served time for petty
larceny, although only Is.
There were many tears shed, and the
two begged hard to be allowed to walk
out of town, but the court was unwilling
to allow the boys to roam around the
country, and they were committed to
the reform school. 81
w. NJ. Smith was arrested yesterday
and booked for petty larceny. Smith is
accused OF having stolen some tools
from his employer.
At the city Jail, Smith, who had q
moderate sized Jag" declared he had
returned the tools to their owner.
Willie Williams, small boy, was ar
rested Yesterday for jumping on an cleo
trio car while the vehicle was at full
speed.
The police are determined to stop the
small boys from their dangerous amuse-
ment of jumping on and off the cars
while in motion.
G. A. Miller was locked in the city
Jail last night to await an examination
as to his sanity.

per boy, was arrested yesterday and
