BRIGGS AND SMITH.
They Cause IA Sensation by Calling on
Their EpiscopaIian Brethren.

CINoINNATI, o., Sept. 12.-Professor
Charles A. Briggs of New York, created
a sensation in Cincinnati yesterday. A
small body of distinguished Episcopa-
lian clergymen were congregated in the
Episcopal headquarters discussing vari-
GUS church matters prior to their de-
parture in body for Madisonville to
attend the monthly meeting, when,
without warning, the door opened and
in marched Prof. Briggs, chaperoned
by Prof. Henry Preserved Smith.
When the clergymen had recovered
from their surprise and had cordially
greeted Professors Briggs and Smith, an
animated discussion ensued, in which
"Higher Criticism" was the topic. Prof.
Briggs graphically declared that he had
lately made an important Biblical dis
covery in support of his theory. Prof.
Briggs did not give any explanation OK
his reason in seeking out the Episeo-
palians in Cincinnati and after half
hours pleasant chat, Professor Smith
and he, arm-in. arm, left the rooIh and
went TO SWith's residence on Walnut
Hills. In the evening Briggs left for
Chicago.
Speaking of the incident to-day a
well-known Presbyterian, who is an in
innate acquaintance of Briggs, said
"For some time past it has been known
to intimate friends of Professor Briggs
that he is in favor of ultimate union OF
all Christian churches, Protestant, Cath
olic and Greek, and that he is working
to that end. He likes the Episcopalians
because they are liberal in their views"

nearly weeks session the Democratic
convention of the first judicial circuit
took recess this afternoon until the
21st of September. Upon that day 1t
will rcassemble at Ocean City.
Forty-four hundred ballots have been
taken and the end is not yet near at
hand. All the delegates have returned
TO their homes in the same frame of
mind in which they came and in which
they have voted. Worcester and
Wicomico seem as strongly welded in
their understanding as when the con-
vention met, and there is no prospective
break in the agreement imposed upon
the Dorchester and Somerset delega-
tions by the convention of the two
counties-that they vote together sol
idly for Page for chief judge and Lloyd
for associate.
If any move towards compromise Is
to be made during the recess no dele
gate knows of it, and If there is flaw
anywhere in the delegations it, too, is
unknown. No one can tell where the
break is going to occur, if it occurs at
all. If some truce is not patched up
within the next week the same balloting
will be continued when the convention
meets again as during the past week.
The report of the meeting of Judges
Page and Lloyd at Seaford, DEL, yes
terday got abroad this morning, and it
was expected that some new line OF
policy would be mapped out. But moth
ing was learned that would indicate that
there should be change in the line of
proceedings. None OF the candidates
for judge has participated by corre-
spondence or by kilograms or otherwise
in the contest nor has one of them Of
fcred suggestion. The fact that neither
Judge Page nor Judge Lloyd was heard
from to-day after their consultation of
yesterday was Of material assistance in
securing recess, move which has not
at any time been favorably regarded by
Somerset and Dorchester, and has never
been strenuously advocated by
Wicomico and Worcester, though
frequently discussed by all of the
counties.
After the morning session and dinner
to-day the caucusing began in dead
earnest, and when the convention met
in the afternoon to resume its tiresome
balloting Dorchester, by previous ar.
rangement, moved for the recess until
the 21st instant. Colonel John Walter
Smith of Worcester, seconded the mo-
ton and Somerset and Wicomico agreed

Special Officers Have Discovered Thirty
five Cases in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 12.-Frauds
of startling character have been dis
discovered here by Pension Examiners

The papers in these tlagrant cases are
already in Washington. These are
Robert Graham, Edward Egan, who has

on each, while Egan is accused of hav-

see what was the matter they were con-
fronted by Winchesters. 1t is said that
none of the passengers were robbed.
HOW THE ENGINEER WAS SHOT.
Engineer Knapp and his fireman were
ordered to throw up their hands by the
men who climbed on the engine. Knapp
had one hand on the throttle and he at
tempted TO start the train. One of the
desperadoes pushed big revolver
against his shoulder and fired. The
bullet passed through the shoulder,
tearing a hole in which lead-pencil
could be laid.
The noise caused by the crashing of
the express door when the dynamite
bomb was hurled against it was the first
intlmation that the passengers had that
the train was in the hands Of the rob-
bers. There was lively scramble
among the passengers to
CRAWL UNDER SEATS
and secrete what valuables they had in
sight, such as watches and other jewelry.
The express car robbed was one used
by the United States Express Company,
and is supposed to have contained
A LARGE SUM OF MONEY.
At A o'clock this morning the officials
of the road had not heard the details of
the robbery. The only information had
been the announcement that the train
had been robbed. One of the Lake
Shore officials hastened to the home of
Manager Wygant, who started at once
for the train dispatcher's office at the
depot, where special train was being
made up for the officials of the railroad.
AT 8 o'clock this train left the Twelfth
street depot, to make a quick trip to
Kendallville.
RICH HAUL FOR THE ROBBERS.
IT. is said that the safe Of the United
States Express Company contained
$250,000 in gold, being shipped east by
a Chicago bank. 1t is not known how
much of the coin the robbers carried
away.
THE ENGINEERS PLUCKY FIGHT.
Engineer Knapp made plucky fight
when the robbers climbed into the cab.
He struck one with the coal pick and
knocked him senseless. Another oponed
| fire and shot the engineer in the chest
seriously wounding him. The fireman
saw chance to make his escape, and
jumping through the cab window, ran
for his life.
IN HOT PURSUIT OF THE THIEVES.

REMAINS A MYSTERY.
Omtials Abandon All Hope of Throwing
Light on the Woodbury. Murder.

WOODBURY., N. j., Sept. 1e.-The
hope of establishing the identity of the
man who was found murdered in Ladd's
woods over week ago or capturing the
perpetrator of the crime has now been
abandoned by the Gloucester county
authorities. They seem greatly down
hearted over their ill-success and the
spirit shown by several citizens, who
claim the authorities have notconducted
the case properly by not employing
skilled detectives when the murder was
first brought to light.
To-day the officials were all in their
accustomed places in this city, and in
quiry showed that all clues had been
run out, but amounted to naught.
Prosecutor Perry, when, interviewed
tonight, said: II have done all in my
power to trace the murderer and estab-
lish the identity of his victim, and,
although | have worked day and night,
! am as much in the dark as when the
murdered man was found. We have re-
ceived no clues since yesterday, but, il
we receive any, they shall be inVesti.

The cash register in the store had been

rob the safe. From Warner the thieves
took $50 after he had been beaten into
insensibility. He was awakened by a
night call and admitted two men. After
lighting the gas he was confronted with
revolver and ordered to hold up his
hands. On complying one Of the rob-
bers told him to put his hands in rope
loop held by him. He decided that he
would as soon be shot as to be bound
and gagged, and he inserted only one of
his hands. With the other hand he
made drive at the robbers face, knock
ing HIM over backward, and he rolled
down the stairs to the bottom, in the
basement. AS he fell he kept hold oi
the rope and the loop lightened on his
wrist. The robber was dragged down

bottom Warner was on top.
