DR.. HERRICK JOHNSON.
One Of the Great Men in the
Presbyterian Church.
Active In MANY Social and Religious Re-
forms-What He Has Done to Win
the Respect of His Associates
and the Public.

Rev. Herrick Johnson, d. D., profes.
sor of sacred rhetoric and pastoral the
ology in the Mccormick seminary, Chi
cago, is one of the great men in the
Presbyterian church. He is at once a
close student, an able teacher and a
successful public speaker. For years he
has been prominently identified with
the educational work of the church,
and is to-day recognized as one of the
foremost Biblical scholars in the land.
Having devoted his entire life to the
cause of education and the interpreta-
ton of the Scriptures, DR.. Johnson has
held many high and honored positions
under the religious denomination with
which he is connected. He has been
president of the Presbyterian board of
aid for colleges and academies since
its foundation, and in that capacity
has been of invaluable service to the
organization. Before selecting Chi
cago as his field of labor the divine
was for years a director of the Union
Theological seminary of New York
city. Previous to that he was presi-
dent of the Presbyterian board of min
isterial education and member of the
Presbyterian boards of publication and
of ministerial relief in Philadelphia.
General public attention, however,
was first directed to DIR. Johnson dur
ing the session of the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church of the
United States of America in 1882, when
he acted as moderator. The following
year he accepted chair in the faculty
of the Mccormick seminary, with which
he has been connected ever since, and
his life in Chicago has been closely
identified with the rapid growth of
that institution.
Public spirited and energetic, DIR.

Lorain and Wheeling railroad made an
other nominal effort early this morning to
send out two trains from Wheeling Creek,

strong attack on Sir William Harcourt's

CRIPPLE CREEK MORE CALM.
Gen. Brooks Stops the Deputies From
Attacking the Miners.

The Sheriff's Men Overtaken Just in
Time to Prevent a Bloody Battle.
They Had Rallied at the Foot of the
Mountain in Readiness for Three
sided Assault on the Intrench-
ments.
Cripple Creek, Col, June S.-The long
strike in Cripple Greek is ended, and the
settlement has been effected without
oloodshed. AT 10 o'clock this morning
such a consummation seemed among the
most improbable things that were liable
to happen. About 8 o'clock the deputies
began leaving camp in squads of hun
dred or more, ostensibly for the purpose
of scouting, but really to make a con-
certed attack unknown TO the militia on
Bull Hill. Fully two-thirds of the
entire force had thus got out of
camp before the suspicious of Gen.
Brooks were aroused. Then he gave or
ders for all of the militia to fall in,
and in few minutes the latter was in
hot purs suit. The deputies had arranged
to make the north side of the mountain
their main POINT of attack. and with this
in view had drawn up the bulk of their
force on the Colorado Springs road at its
base. The movement against this point,
however, was to be supported by sorties
from three other sides and the balance
of the force was distributed accordingly.
STOPPED By THE TROOPS.
Preparations were almost completed
for the attack when the militia came
down upon the main body of deputies,
who were ordered by Gen. Brooks back
to camp. The deputies were not inclined
to obey the order, but being assured that
the governors instructions to the general
were to turn his cannon upon them if nee
essary TO protect the miners from attack
they withdrew and ordered in their aux
iliary detachment. They are now all in
camp at Gilletl
Meanwhile Gen. Brooks continued to
march TO Bull HILL where he found the
miners drawn up to receive him He
made them a speech, in which he assured
them of the protection of the militia, and
asked them to submit to the service of
warrants by the sheriff, 1t was agreed
that the sheriff and two deputies
should go up the hill tomorrow

laid down their arms, and the labor

three hours, but no men were found. A
body of 800 men, armed and acting in q
suspicious manner, had been seen last
night by the deputies on guard and this
caused the surmisc that trouble would
occur last night. These men had disap-
peared, however and all was quiet at the
mines when the troops arrived The
troops returned to camp Forney this
morning and at this time no trouble is
anticipated. The output Of coal at the
