BRIGGS TRIAL BEGUN.
The Prosecution Presents
It's Case to the General
Assembly.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May %, 1S93.-The
gift of Divine light and guidance In solv-
ing the question before the High Judicial
Court OF the Presbyterian Church WAS the
earnest plea of every prayer offered at
the half hour devotional meeting this
morning which prefaced todays session
of the General Assembly. IL was the
burden upon every heart, and out of it
every heart spoke. At 1905 a. M. the
trial of DR.. Briggs began. -Four and a half
hours were allowed the appellants TO open
ana close the case; DR., Briggs was
allowed seven hours to reply, and, the
New YORK Presbytery. from whose Judg-
ment the appeal was taken, were assigned
two hours. Co be used in ten minute
speeches.
DIR Baker said the appellants would
INTRODUCES in their opening case all mat,
tiers they intend to present. NO
new matter would be i~nt.oduced.
The Moderator cautioned the
commissioner as to the man
ner of their bearing during the trial.
He said neither party should travel out
of the record, nor should they, under any
circumstances introduce ~extraneous mat
ter. No personalities should be INDUCED
in and he hoped that If any misstatement
was made that the party of the other
side, in all brotherly love and kindness,
would call attention to IL.
These preIiminaries had occupied about
half an hour, and it was Just ten O'Clock
and tive n when Colonel Nc.
Cook took the stand and the great trial
might be fairly said to have begun. His
purpose at that time was merely to notify
the Court and appellee OF the citations
and references which the prosecution ex-
pected to use in presenting their case.
Cook stated in closing that the applic-
ants hoped and expected 10 use u little
more than half of the time assigned to
them by the committee. and he intro
duced Dr. Lampe TO present the appel
lants opening argument.
DR.. Lampe said that in accordance with
the. book of discipline. the appellants as
sign five grounds IN nppeal. namely:-Ir-
regularity in the proceedings of the Pres
bytery of New York; receiving inn
testimony; manifestations of prejudice
in the conduct of the case ana mistake or
injustice in the decision. He proceeded
to discuss the first ground from a purely
legal standpoint and laid much stress on
the fact that DR.. Briggs objected TO
going to trial on TWO OF the eight charges.
against him in the Presbytery because he
had never taught the doctrines with
teaching which he was charged. Why.
then, asked DR.. Lampe, did
be consent to go on trial
on the remaining chargesi Was
it because he has taught the doctrine
therein alleged? II that is the reason,
then why did he plead not guilty TO these
remaining charges? II he has not taught
any Of the doctrines alleged in the
amended eight charges, why not 20 on
trial on all eight OF them, or else declafm
having committed the ~otfenses?
At 1870 P. NJ. DR.. Lampe, having con-
sumed Two hours aud a quarter of his
allotted time, yielded to u motion for a
recess, and the proceedings were suspend

BEES In Her

A Staten Island Girl Who Finds the In
sects Quiet Companions.
There is a girl on Staten Island whe has
kept a hive of bees in her bedroom dur
ing the winter, says an exchange. She
said recently that they were the most
unobjectionable companions. They are
quiet, orderly and attend strictly TO their
own affairs. When sthe warm weather
comes they will be sent out of doors,
where there are beds or ~mignonette and
other sweet scented flowers, which the
bees fully understand are planted for
their special use. The hive of bees is the
nucleus of her contemplated bee farm.
Last summer they supplied her weekly
with thirty-six pounds OF honey. For
each pound of honey she received thirty
cents, The profits of bee keeping are
great, the cost small.
The labor of honey raising has been
materially lessened for the bee by mod
ern improvements, and they seem pro-
port1onately grateful. The bees no longer
make their W cells, which are pro-
duced by machinery OUT of wax. These
artificial cells are placed In the hive and
the bees seem to be glad to get rid OF the
labor of making them. Immediately they
go 10 honey making. This business they
conduct alone. When the cells are full
the hive must be watched from without,
lest the bees begin to seal them up. which
they do In order to lay up their winters
food. 10 guard against this, additional
cells are put on top of the hive. called
supers. In these the bees deposit their
extra stores. and this is reserved for their
winter outfit.
When the bees begin to seal the cells
the box is removed, a small machine is
put inside which is set vibrating, and
This empties the cells of their honey.
which is drawn off. and the cells, having
been drained, are put back to be redlled.
This young woman says that her bees
know ner. and are as tame to her hand as
doves. The occupation of honey-making
has proved pleasurable and profitable.

TALKEDVI7H THE MAYOR
Erie's Elevation Advocates
Hold an Indignation
Meeting.

The Association of Citizens formed to
tracks is more determined than ever in
it's warfare against the company. The
association took a decided step this morn
ing aud say that they will make it very
disagreeable for the company.
Shortly after eleven O'Clock a commit
tee Of the association, headed by John
Casey. arrived at the City Hall. They
were Immediately ushered into the
Mayors private Office. Mr.. Casey asked
the Mayor If there was not a city ordf-
nance which regulated the speed OF trains
through the city. !
The Mayor replied that there was and
said that the ordinance provided that
teams should not be ruu at u higher rate
of speed than six miles an hour.
ERIE HAS MO PERMIT.
The committee also asked he Mayor
occupying certain streets. The Mayor
informed the committee that many of the
city's streets were occupied by the rail-
road without the necessary permit from
the proper authorities. The committee
explained the posi- ion Of the association,
aud the shabby manner in which 1t had
been treated by the railroad company,

them in their efforts to bring the rail-
road company to terms. The Mayor said
that he was heartily in sympathy with
the association and its objects, aud
would help the cause as far as 1T lay in
his power, The committee left very
much satisfied with their interview with
the Mayor.
Tonight the association will meet at
Corcoran's, on Thirteenth street. when
the committee will report, and a definite
course of action will be decided upon.
One of the members of the association,
in conversation with a reporter for H
JERSEY CITY NEWS this morning, said:-
EARNEST FIGHTERS.
: "If the railroad company 1maRlnes that
their refusal 60 elevate the racks will
end his agitation. it is very much mis-
taken. The association Is in Il more
prosperous condition now than it ever
of the association is in
earnest in the fight. The association
treated the company with too much con-
sideration In the first place. II we had
adopted arbitrary measures at the outset
as some of us intended, we might have
met with better success. Now we are in
the fight and we will show the railroad
company a we are not Knocked out
What plan of action will the associa-
ton adopt?" the reporter asked.
THAT will be decided at the meeting
tonight" was the reply. There are ii
hundred anu one ways that we can make
it so disagreeable for the company. By
simply having one of the city ordinances
enforced we can compel the company 10
run their trains at such a low rate OF
speed that the company will not be able
TO compete with other companies. The
fight has only just commenced"

CORNELISoN AVE. BRIDGE
A Gang of Men Repair 1t Today,
But President Thurston Has
a Better One.

President Thurstou, of tbs jersey City
and Bergen Railroad said today that he
had sent a proposition to the Street and
Water Commissioners concerning the
company's offer to grade Montgomery
street, from Baldwin venue to below
Cornelison avenue bridge and to the
building of a new bridge over Cornell
son avenue at the company's expense.
This proposition WAS accepted py the
Street and Water Board this afternoon.:-

a locomotive and a train OF cars said
Mr.. Thurston this morning. we will
present it TO the city and put 1t over Cor

will grade the street 1t the city will fur

WILL MAKE BRIDGE SAFE.
Superintendent Sayre said that the
snoring or bracing OF the bridge
with trusses would make 1t strong
enough to bear a locomotive. The work
was begun by a strong force OF men
this morning. Superintendent Sayre said
itE5 would be finished BY night. The
Superintendent said the proposition to

The snoring would make the bridge a6-

HI PREFERRED BRIDGE.
The bridge TO which President ThurstoN
referred is a double track iron structure
that was erected on the Belvidere division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was
renewed last year, almost new. to give
place to a four-track bridge. The Jersey
City and Bergen Railroad has an option
on this bridge. It is said to be much
stronger thar is necessary for q Cornell

THE ADVANTAGE OF GRADING.
The company desires that the street
should be graded for hat would make 1t
