Stirring Up Biddeford.

The Biddeford journal of last evening,
prints the following: Peter Condor, the
Ensor patient who caused so much
excitement Tuesday morning, got out of the
institute again this morning and made it in
terestfng for several families
It was about 8 o'clock in the morning
when Will Harmon, the sewing machine
agent, heard somebody come against his
door as if he was going to take the door
down with him. He got out of bed and
looked down upon a wild looking man
bare headed and without coat, who was
trying to get through the door and shouting,
''save me!' "Let me in and save me!''
Mr.. Harmon had read about the lunatic
who was around Tuesday, and made up
his mind that it was the same man. He
shouted to him to keep away from the door
and the man did leave the door, only to
try to get through a window, shouting,
s'save mer' Finally he left the door and
the last Mr.. Harmon saw of him he was GO
ing down street on the dead run
j. E. B. Tartre received also an early
morning call from the same wild man and
the visitor made it lively for him for a few
minutes. Condor made number of other
calls and tried to get into several houses be-
fore he was captured and taken back to the
institute.

THEORY AS TO "CREEPlNG" RAILS.
Attempt at Explaining a Curious Phenom-
enon Observed on Railroads

Unless there notwithstanding influences.
the natural tendency of rails is to s'creep
downward obeying the well known laws of
gravity. If, however, the grade be too slight
to give much effect to this law, and, in
fact, so slight as to require the use of steam
in the handling of descending trains, this
natural tendency may be minimized, by a
constant draught of loads in the direction
of Its descent, says the Charleston News
and Courier. Heavy loads pulling con-
stantly in one direction have a tendency
to drive the rail In the opposite dire ction.
Should it be necessary, however, to apply
the brakes, the rail is driven in the direc-
ton of the moving train. On perfectly
level track the rail almost invariably
"creeps" in the opposite direction from the
movement of the heaviest and most constant
traction: except atspoints where it is GUS
tomary to shut off and apply the brakees, at
which the 'creep'ai is in the same direction
On roads having grades which change alb
ruptly from ascending to descending grades
over the crown of a hill, it often happens
that the rails creep up grade on both
sides of the crown, and this is especially true
where long. heavy trains are run, as the
heavy pulling of the engines after it has
passed the crown, going down grade. causes
it to drive the rail upward on the one side
while the rear of the train has somewhat
the tendency to pull, or at least to hold the
rail ON the opposite ascent. One rail often
''creeps'' faster than the other. This is not
confined to the east rail or the west raiI,the
north or the south. 1t is due to a variety
of causes. and none perhaps more than the
fact that there is difference often and a
popularity in humanity. There is in rail-
road parlance what is known as a Line"
and a gauge rail; in nine cases out of
ten he"line" rail gets the most attention
from the foreman in charge; and, in addi-
ton, two men are usually selected to .'keep
up the bolts on joint, one of which is gen
orally the most trusted man in the gang"
The other works under him. Almost invar-
faoly this trusted man gets on the 'line''
rail, and thus bolts are kept in better shape
on one rail- than ens the other, and are
therefore more capable of resisting the
tendency to "creep.P This habit among
trackmen of adopting pet rail is one of
the peculiarities of human nature Bar
bers have somewhat the same popularity
they lather and rub and shave and powder
one side Of mans face Until human en-
durance rebels against the injustice.

PROFESSOR SMITH ON THE STAND.
He Speaks in His Own Defence Before
the Grand Assembly Who Are Investi.
eating the Charges Against Him.

Saratoga, N. Y, May 24.-The general
assembly today began the trial of Pro-
lessor Smith for heresy. Professor Smith
argued that the preliminary proceedings
OF the presbytery were informal. No
attempt was made to confer with the ac-
cused to see whether judicial proceed
ings could not be avoided. The charge
of teaching errancy of the Bible was in
sufficient in form and legal effect, be-
cause the committee had not shown the
doctrine of inerrancy essential and fun
damental to the doctrine of the church.
The doctrine was not essential or fuuda-
mental, therefore his teaching that the
Bible contained errors was not crime
under Presbyterian law.
He challenged them to prove tie doctine
He explained at length his idea of chro-
biological and scientific errors of the
Bible, and cited examples of inconsis-
tenc1es and contradictions in the Bible.
Nothing, he said, in the Westminster
confession nor in the judicial decisions
of the church, until $685. marked
this doctrine as essential. He examined
two arguments of inerrancy advanced
by conservatives, that it was taught by
the Bible itself and by the Westminster
standards.
DR.. George G. Moore of .Andover Semi
nary, here relieved Professor Smith by
reading extracts from the published
pamphlets on these points.
Professor Smiths fourth point was d.
reoted to the charge. he taught the theory
Transportation contra ~ to that taught by
the Bible and Presbyterian standards.
He denied his idea Of inspiration. This
was how God had revealed himself in
the prophets and in Jesus Christ. All
other revelations were tsibutary.
Inspiration was the method of this
secondary revelation, That it made these
men lnerrant was now here affirmed.
He examined the decision of the general
assembly of 1898 in the Briggs case and
in lnerranoy deliverances. He made a
technical argument to show these were
inconsistent with each other
MIR. Smith declared the charge ambip-
uous, as iu didn't define in what sense
the "Bible taught Inspiration. 1t left
the court free tossformitS own opinion as
to the biblical theory:of inspiration, MAX
ing 1T possible under one charge to con-
vict him of as many crimes as indiyid-
ual opinions in the court.
Here recess was taken. In the af
ternoon, Professor Smith resumed his
argumment, taking UP the question of
the evidence adduced to sustain the
two charges on which he was convicted
He declared this evidence defective in
that language used by him not being
cited by the prosecuting committee. but
they presented instead their view OF
what his words meant. He recited in
detail the occasion of the address on
which the charges against him were
based.

eral inheritance law. G. A. Bailey, county
attorney, appearing for the state and G. j.
Dunn of orono for the respondents. The
two main questions considered were the
constitutionality of the law and it's con-
struction. There seemed to be a conflict of
opinion in other states cited. New Hamp-
shire has held a similar law to be unconsti-
tutional, New York holds it constitutional
but deducts the $500 from each bequest,
while Pennsylvania takes it from the whole
