Clark was in Joseph H. Clark's handwriting. In years past, said MT. Burkhardt, MT. Clark and his mother came to the assessors of- flee but when the mother became too feeble the son came alone.
 J. F. White Called.
 James F. White, the liveryman, was the next witness, and said he had been acquainted with Bridget and Bernard Clark's business. In quail flying as an expert he told of the livery property, but the judge would not permit him to place a value on the business. MT. White then de- clared that the four hacks he knew were worth from $500 to $35O. One pair of horses he valued at about s4OO. Here Attorney Hart objected to his placing value on the rest of the horses.
 When recess was called until 2 o'clock Lawyer Klett was endeavoring to get before the jury an estimated value of the livery business.
 Case 8, Long One.
 Attorney G. w. Klett and Attorney P. F. McDonough appear for the ad- ministrator of the estate. It is evil dent that this trial will be a long one as up to 1 o'clock today only three witnesses flor the plaintiff had been called. The estate has several more witnesses to put on the stand and then the defendant will have a num- Der who will testify. 1t Is thought that the case will not go to the jury before tomorrow afternoon.

Committee Report oa Union 1hto-
 logical Seminary Adopted.

Rochester, N. r., May 26.-Flushed with victory over the adoption late yesterday afternoon of the report of the special committee appointed, to in- vestigate the status of Union Theolog- lcal Seminary the ultra conservative elem ent of the 127th general assem- ly of the Presbytrian church of tire United States in session here, was expected today to offer a resolution providing for the appointment of @ committee to investigate New York Presbytery. Another resolution had been prepared, to the effect that in approving the report yesterday the assembly did not mean to imply moral turpitude on the part of the board of directors of the seminary. Yesterdays s action of the assembly means that the relations between the seminary and assembly are exactly the same as they were before, which is to say the sem mary admittedly is outside the juris- diction of tn eassembly inasmuch as it has ceased to be a Presbyterian in stitution.
 Charles Stetzle's Case.
 Before the assembly convened to- day it was reported that the execu- tive committee on missions would give a deliverance in the case of Charles Stetzle of New York, formerly a mem Der of the Presbyterian home mission board who has complained of being tunjustly adjudged socialist on ac> count of his writings and speeches. A declaration disapproving the trial of MT. Stelzle, 1t is said, will by indi- rection relieve ministers of the Pres- byterian church of the dread of being described as socialists because of their activity and interest in community service.
 It was the general opinion that the proposed merger of the three educa- tonal boards of the church would fail and that the minority report of the committee on education, submitted by ! J. Willis Barr of Occidental college, Calif., advising that the boards remain as at present, would prevail. #
 Meeting on Missions Tonight. Reports of several standing con1- mittees are on today's program. To- night popular meeting in behalf of foreign missions will be held.
