SWIFT VENGEANCE By THE SHAH

Foar Outlaws Who Robbed and NAL
treated an American Put to Death.
A private letter has been received
from Persia relating an instance Of
swift vengeance on the part of the
shah's government. at the instance Of
Minister Mcdonald, in behalf of the
American missionaries. One Of their
number, Rev. E. W. St. Pierre, OF
Oroomia, while riding home from the
country in the evening, when within
little more than mile Of tho town,
was seized by some rufiians, dragged
into adjoining woods, and treated in q
most unmerciful manner.
He was forced, under threat Of in.
slant death. to surrender all the money
and other valuables which he had
about him. Then they stripped him Of
his clothing, in the bitter cold, and
left him half dead, saying that if he
minutes he would be shot.
When the time had expired the out
ragged man dragged himself to the
road, and finally reached homo in .
deplorsble condition.
The facts were Immediately reported
TO the American minister at Teheran,
who promptly laid them before the
prime minister with demand for the
prompt arrest and punishment OF the
criminals. The prime minister i'm
mediately telegraphed peremptory or
ders for their arrest
The robbers, four in number, who
proved to be notorious outlaws, were
captured after . stout resistance and
put to death. This summary and
sanguinary ending Of the affair was at
once reported to the American minis
ter by the prime minister. The Amer
ican minister thanked him for his
prompt action In the matter, and then
put in . claim for damages for Mr.. St
Pierre.

a commotion by saying that it would be
well to ask these young men whether they
are attending any seminary not recon-
mended by this body and the general as
sembly. This practically int roducet the
Briggs question in the case and a dozen
ministers were on their feet in an instant.
Dr. Ross said it would be time enough TO
inquire the place where candidates studied
theology when they came mp for fiual
license. Dr. Charles Thompson said he
was not aware of anything that
could prevent the candidates from attend
ing any seminary they desired. He did
not know but what n student had right
to enter a seminary not approved by the
general assembly. DR.. John Hallam,
amidst the clamor. said: II think we
should exercise little peace aud maguan-
nifty Finally, after much debate. the
question was put and carried, there being
