BRIGGS CASE AGAIN.
VIII Come Before the Synod OF New
York State In October.

New York, Oct. LA special to The
World from Rochester says: 1t is now
certaiD that the case Of DR.. Briggs will
come before the synod of New York state
at its session in the First Presbyterian
church in this city Oct. 20. When either
party in n suit in presbytery feels that
it has been treated uniustly, 1t is entitled
to send complaint to the synod. Two, IL
not more. Of these complaints" have been
sent by members Of the presbytery of New
York for the action of the synod. 1t is
understood that one of these complaints
is from the New York liberals and the
other is from the conservatives
1t has been generally supposed that the
synod of this year would have a strong
liberal majority. and that the committees
appointed to consider the case of Dr.
Briggs would be composed in great part
of liberals. The conservatives. however.
are making earnest efforts to send many
of their number to the synod, and have
been so successful that there is much doubt
as to the complexion of the court.

SUGAR IS SCARCE.
In Chicago and = Famine Confronts the
Good HOuse wiyes,

CHICAGO. Oct. L. The Tribune this
morning says: Sugar is scarce in Chicago
so scarce, in fact, that famine confronts
the housewives, They are unable to get
the requisite amount for their daily needs
from the retail grocers, and those dealers
in town cannot obtain enough sugar from
the wholesalers to supply even half the
demands Of their customers Wholesale
dealers say the refineries are not turning
out more than enough sugar to supply
half Of the demand
The representatives Of the sugar trust
say the market is short over 100000 bar
rels Of sugar and that no relief can be
looked for in the near future. In the
present state OF things people will have to
be contented with half rations OF sugar
until the supply picks up. This famine is
felt quite sevely in every part Of the city.
