SMITHS APPEAL HEARD.

Presbyterian General Assembly Hearing
the Case of Henry Preserved Smith.
SARATOGA, N. Y, May 24-The interest
in the case of the appeal of Prof. Smith
was early manifest this morning and
during the devotional service the gallery
was unusually full. The only vacant
seats at the opening of the general as
sembly at half past o'clock were two
reserved for the family of Prof. Smith.
They remained vacant until the appeal
case was ready and then Mrs. Smith en-
tered, accompanied by Mrs. Briggs, of
New York, DIR. Henry NJ. Field, DIR. Rol-
lin A Sawyer and Prof. Smiths mother
and brother.
The judicial committee asked 20 have
their report on the Smith case returned
to them for slight change. This was
granted, and the proposed change was
made affecting the rule for the hearing
OF members of the assembly. 1t was
provided that the assembly shall be heard
upon roll call, three minutes being grant
ed to each member
The assembly was constituted as a
court, and the reading of the records in
the case proceeded with. The papers
contain the record of the synod, the no.
tice of appeal and the appeal of Prof
Smith.
After reading these papers the assem-
bly,, without opposition, agreed to enter
tain the appeal of Prof Smith, and at
nalI past ten O'CLOCK the argument on
the appeal was begun by DR.. Smith.
The reading of the full records was
waived, except 80 far as they were to be
used in the argument.
Prof. Smith stated that he proposed
only to argue six of the grounds of APP
peal instead of twelve.
, The argument at the start concerned
the existence of prejudice in the mem
bers of the presbytery which originally
tried him.
Prof. Smith sought to show that the
records of the original trial proved that
the judiciary was prejudiced in that it
allowed members of the body to sit in the
case who had published opinions touch
ing to the guilt of the accused.
He claimed that the inerrancy of the
original autographs of scripture was
entirely outside of the doctrine of in
SEPARATION and independent of it. 1t was
further shown that the doctrine of iner-
rancy has a theological origin, not a
biblical origin, and that the concern us it
stands is no support to the position of
the prosecution.
Prof. Smith went on to show that the
Washington assembly evaded the issue
raised by the doctrine of the confession,
in failing to declare that the scriptures
not only 'are" the word of God but ''are"
inerrant.
A telegram sending fraternal greetings
and wishing godspeed from the southern
Presbyterians was read by the clerk and
the assembly took a recess.

SMASHING PROPERTY.

Miners at CentraIIa, Ill, Destroying Ma
chinery aud Throwing it in the Shafts
CENTRALIA, Ill, May 24.-About 500
strikers from the Duquoin and ST. John
mines arrived in this city today, on an
Illinois Central freight train, and pro-
ceeded to the Big Four mine, operated
by Pottenger s. Davis, in the northern
limits of the city. They demolished con-
siderable of the machinery and filed the
shaft with about fifteen feet of debris,
dump carts and other loose material
about the mine.
Every glass and sash in the buildings
were smashed. The total damage to the
property is estimated at $4,000. The Big
-Four mines have for the past three days
been running with about thirty men and
yesterday they refused TO come out at
the request of the local committee.
The DuquOin strikers boarded freight
train in this city and forced the engineer
Charles Stewart to haul them here
Sheriff Helms was notified at Salem,
that the men were coming and a
special engine sent to convey him here,
but he did not arrive in time to save the
destruction of the property.
The striking miners held meeting
and left the city on foot for Odin, eight
miles north of here, to shut down the
mine there
The sheriff swore in about fifty depu-
ties, who were equipped with Winches-
ters from the armOry here and left for
Odln on special train. The miners
were we'll armed with pistols and plenty
of ammunition

INDIANA POPULISTS.

state Convention In Session ut IndIanap-
oils With 1000 in Attendance
lNDIANAPoLIs, May 24-The Indiana
Populists met in state convention in Tom
Inns hall this city, at 10 o'clock today.
The enthusiasts of the party predicted
an attendance of 5000. but 1000 is prob
aoIy the size of the convention. Each
precinct of the state is supposed to be
represented, which would mean about
1000 delegates.
Leroy Iempleton was made permanent
chairman, and full state ticket will be
nominated.
The offices are seeking the men, and
there are no really avowed candidates.
Inc platform is practically the same
as that adopted at Omaha, and advocates
an income tax and postal savings banks.
A revision Of the emigrant laws is
asked, the abolition of convict labor and
the election Of the president and vice
president and United States senators
manded.

ALAS, THE POTATO CROP
In the Vicinity of Lawrence the Damage
Is Very Great.

In the Vicinity of Lawrence the Damage
Is Very Great.
LAWRENCE, May 24.-The potato crop
of the Kaw valley in this vicinity is re-
duced one-haf by the recent frOsts.
Inquiry shows that all the way from
Williamstown and Edwardsville and
even further down along the Kaw the
frost had done damage. Some entire
fields were devastated and others only in
part One farmer who lives north of the
city estimates that 500 acres of potatoes
within two miles of the city were in
jured. and that $50 of these were de-
stroyed so that only small and unmarked
able potatoes will grow upon the vines.
In many of the fields the farmers went
out and began the planting of corn, be-
lieving that they might get something
out of the land in that way. even if the
potato crop was lost.
The Kaw valley farmers have reduced
the acreage of potatoes One-half since
last Sunday morning Between EudOra
and Lawrence there was something near
1900 acres in potatoes, now there is $50
all told. This frost with the price that
follows will check the rush for potatoes
another year and send them elsewhere
after CrOpS.
