OItgag' Near Kingstree.

Kingstree, May 13.-News
reached here yesterday morning
that a negro named Hamp Nc
Gill had made an attempt at
criminal assault on the 19-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. c.. X.
Eaddy, a well-known citizen of
the Cade's section, nine miles
north of Kingstree. Later on
the report was confirmed, when
Mr.. Eaddy, the child's father,
and Constable Williamson drove
into town with McGill and
lodged him in Jail. While the
news of the crime caused much
excitement and lynching was
talked of, the fact that Mr..
Eaddy Wi he'd the law to take
its course did much to allay
such feeling and it now seems
probable that the case will be
tried at the next term of the
court, which convenes here on
May 21. Your correspondent
talked with McGill, who admits
his guilt. He is a coal black
negro, % years old, and has a
wife and two children. Every
thing is quiet today and few
outsiders are in town.-News

1T is the understanding that he

THE PRESBYTERIAN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
TO HAVE USUALLY IMPORT.
ANT MEETING In SAINT
LOUIS.
Overtures of Deep Import Will be
Presented. The Westminster
Confession of Faith. Case of
the Convicted Jew.

ST. Louis, May 14.-The Pres
byterlan general assembly will
meet Thursday in the Washing.
ton and Compton avenue Pres
byterian church, this city. Di
vines and laymen, TO the number
of about 1000, will be present.
Only once before, in 1874, has
the assembly met in this city.
The interest in the topics of the
programme and the scope and
possible effects of the overtures
to be presented will make this
one the most important assem-.
blies held for the past 20 years.
One Of the most important mat
ters to be brought up is the ques
tion as to whether the Westmin
ster confession of faith shall be
revived.
The following are the sections
In the confession to which it is
said exception is taken:
"3. By the decree of God, for
the manifestation of His glory.
some men and angels are predes
tined unto everlasting life and
others foreordained unto everlast-
ing death.
. 81. These angels and men,
thus predestined and foreordain
ed, are particularly and unchange.
ably designed, and their number
is so certain and definite that it
cannot be either increased or di-
minished"
Several presbyte have asked
specifically that the assembly
should appoint a committee TO
consider the whole question OF
creed revision, while others de
sire that new creed be ordered,
leaving the old one untouched to
be preserved intact as an histori.
cal document, while the new yer
sion shall be the working creed
of the church. These overlures
will all be referred to the com
mittee on bills and overtures, OF
which the Rev. Robert f. Sample
Of New York will be chairman.
A matter of interest will be
the much discussed case of Her
man WarZawiak, the converted
Jew, whose troubles have been
aired in the courts Of the church
for several years Other overa
lures relate to the office of the
stated clerk of the assembly, the
Rev. DR.. VIM. III. Robertes, who
had held that position for 16I
years. The salary up to last year
was $4,000, but when it was in
creased to $4,000 other eyes were
turned toward the office, which is
permanent. Efforts have been
made frequently to wrest it from
DIR Roberts and they will be re
newcd al this meeting Rev DIR.
