Adjournment Until After Thnl;sgiv'ng Is Agreed to, When THE PROFESSOR'S RtPIiT IS TO COME fFPBClAL TELFOIIAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Yoek, Nov. 9. The trial ot Prof. Charles A. IWjrgs for heresy began a 2 o'clock this afternoon in the auditorium of the old Scotch Church in "West fourteenth street, with all the formality and pomp which the Presbyterian Church demands in judicial proceedings. Kev. John Bliss, D. D., the Moderator of the New York Presbytery, sat in the pulpit, with the clerks. Revs. S. D. Alexander and J. H. Hoadley, on either ide. Directly under tho Moderator sat the defendant, Prof. Briegs, and on the other side of the aisle were the members of the Committee of Prosecution, Iters. G. W. F. Birch, J. J. Lampe, K. F. Sample and Elders J. J. McCook and J. J. Stevenson. In the first pew just behind Dr. Briggs sat his v,arm friend, l'ror. Francis Brown, of Union Theological Seminary, who is as thoroughly posted on the intricscies of the famous theological case as Prof. Briggs him self. The body of the church uas filled with the ministers and elders who constitute the Presbytery, and who are to decide the ques tion of Prof. Briggs' orthodoxy. Some of the ministers preent were Henry Van Dke. J. II. Mcllvaine, Itobert K. Booth, Thomas S. Hastlucs, Francis H. Marling, Henrv M. Field, a II. Tarkhiirst, Edward L. Clark, Howard Duff.cld, Henry M. Me Cracken, John IS. I'axton, George I Pren tiss, Charles L. Thompson, George L. Spin nine, Marvin K Vincent and David G. AVylie. 3Iany Women Among tho Antllnce. Around the edge of the galleries was a fringe ot spectators, mostly women, waich ing the proceedings narrowly. In the Iront row sat a middle-aged wdman ami two young women who bad a keener irterest in what vias going on below than anv of the other spectators. They were Mrs. Brigcs and the two dnnghters of the professor. As soon a the roll had been called the Moderitrr e id the resolution of the Gen eral Assembly ordering the trial, and called upon Dr.Birch's committee to present their charge's. Froi. Brigss was on his leet first. "1 do not waut to delay proceedings," he raid, "but there are certain preliminary ob jections which I must make on the rights of the Committee ol Prosecution to act as an original party." The accused professor said he put in these objections in order to perfect appeals he may make in the future. The ground of his objections and the answer nhich was made by Colonel McCook lor the committee were the old arguments already advanced by both sides. Eev. Dr. K. E. Booth arose to a point ot order, maintaining that discussion was not in place, as the Presbytery must proceed to treat in compliance with the General As sembly's order. The Moderator Easily Sustained. Dr. Briegs asserted that he had a right to speak again and meet Colonel McCook's ar guments, but the Moderator decided that discussions should stop on the preliminaries, and that the trial should proceed. Prof. Francis Brown appealed from the decision of the chair, but by a rising vote the Moderator was sustained, 73 to 53. This was the first setback, although on a merely technical point.for Dr. Briggs. "Now the question comes up," said the Moderator, "whether the Committee of Prosecution is ready to present the original or amended charges." Chairman Birch stepped to the open space under the pulpit and said the committee had prepared amended charges and was ready to offer them. It was 4 o'clock when he becan to read them to the Presbytery. Eight specific charges are made in the amended paper, instead of the two made in the original report of the Committee oi Prosecution. The old charges were of a very general nature, and the numerous specifications under them brought out the points in which Dr.Briggs wasalleged to err, which now appear in the main charges in new drees. The amended charges make a printed pamphlet of SO pages, which con tain many extracts from Prof. Briggs' in augural and writings, and from the script ures and the "Westminster standards, which are alleged to contradict Prof. Briggs' statements. The Charges as they Xoir It-nd. Prof. Briggs now stands charged by the Presbvterian Church in the United States of America through the Committee of Prosecution with teaching: That tho reason Is a lountain of dvline authority which may and doos savingly en lighten men, even such men as reject the Scriptures as the authoritative proclama tion of the will of God and reject also the way of salvation through the mediation and sacrifice ot the Son or God as levaaled therein; which is contrary to tho essential doctrine of the Holy Scripture and of the standards of the said church, that the Holy Scripture is most necessary and the rule ot laitb and practice. That the church is a fountain of divine authority which, apart from the Holy Scripture, may and does savingly enlUrhton men, which, is contrary to the essential doctrine of the Holy Scriptures and of the standards of the said church, that the Holy Scripture is most necessary and the rule of the lalth and practice. That enors may liavo existed In tho orig inal text ot the Holy Scripture as it came from its authors, which is contrary to the essential doctrine tauirht inthe Iloly Script ure and in the standards of the said church: that the Holy Scripture is the word of God written Immediately inspired ana the rule of faith and practice. Omniscience Is Even Denied. That many of the Old Testament's predic tions have been reversed uy history, and that the great body of Messianic prediction has not and cannot be fulfilled; which is contrary to the essential doctrine or the Holy Scripture and of tno standards of the said church, that God is true, omniscient and unchangeable. That Moses is not the author of the Penta teuch; which is contrary to tho direct state ments or the Holy Scripture and to the essential standards of the said church, that the Holy Scripture evidences itself to the Word of God by the consent or all the parts, and that the infallible rule or the interpreta tion of Scripture is the Scripture itself. That Isaiah is not the author of half of tho book that bears his name: which is con trary to direct statements of Holy Scripture ana to the essential doctrinos of the stan dards of the said chnicb that the noly Scripture evidences itself to the word of God by the consent of all the parts and that the inialliblc rule or interpretation oi Script ure is the Scripture itself. That the processes or redemption extend to the world to come in the case of many who die in sin; hlch is contrary to the essential doctrine of Holy Scripture and the standards or the said church, that the processes or redemption are limited to this world. That sanctification is not complete at death; which is contrary to the essential doctrine or Holy Scripture and of tha stand ards of said church that the sonls of be lievers are at their death at once made per fect in holiness. Adjournment of the Presbytery. The paper concludes: The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America represented by the under prosecuting committee offers in evidence the whole or tho said inaugural address, both the first and second editions and all the works of the said Eev. Charles A. Briggs, I). D., quoted therein, so far as thev bear upon this case; also the appendix to the second edition of said addiesB, and all the works ofthe said Kov.C harles A.,Brigxs,D.D., quoted therein, in so far as they bear upon this case: the whole of the Holy Scriptures and the whole or the standards of the Pres byterian Church in tho United States or America. Prof. Briggs followed the reading closely and smiled when the last clause was read. "I have prepared my answer on the old charges," he said, "and these are to essentially different that I shall need time to amend mj answer." Prof. BriRgs said that in several points in charge No. 4 the general nature of the charges had been chanced, contrary to the instructions ot the General Assembly. The book of dicipline gives 10 days to an accused minuter to prepare answers to charges against him, and the Presbytery voted to take a recess until Monday, No vembers, at 2 P. sl, when Prof. Briggi must be ready with his answer. Then the trial will go on continuously until con cluded. , Only members of the Presbytery who were present to-day can vote when the time for decision comes. THE LIFE OF PASTEUK. The Great rrench Savant Is, on Occasions, Very Absent-Mlnded. Louis Pasteur, the great doctor.is a short built, thick-set man, considerably rounded at the shoulders, with a closely-trimmed gray beard, and habitually wears a pro foundly preoccupied appearance. His sight is very poor, and he walks lamely, being semi-paralyzed on one side, but withal he possesses the traditional polite ness of the Frenchman, and never loses his temper with the army of cranks and curio hunters who throng his laboratory almost daily. Early in life he straved away from the beaten track of medicine into the by paths of chemical exploration, and first made himself known as an experi menter in molecules. Then he turned his attention successively to silk worm dis ease, chicken cholera and fermentation, all of which were wonderfullyelucidatedby his researches. He also enriched pathology with a new horror by discovering the true cause of splenic apoplexy, not content with which, he has also discovered a means ot checking it. His system ot inoculation against rabies upon which his fame will mainly rest is too well known to need even passing mention here. In 1888 the Pasteur Institute for the treatment of hydrophobia was opened in Paris. Here he treats all who come free of charge. During the last three year' he has treated no less than 3,835 persons bitten by mad dogs, and only 53 ot his patients have died. His gigantic scheme to rid Australia of the plague of rabbits bv spreading disease among them by inoculation has not been so successful, but he says that some of his most important discoveries are yet to be given to the world if his life 1b prolonged lor a few years more. He is a glutton for work, and "after inoculating patients all day experiments upon rabbits during the better part ofthe night He is naturally weighed down with decor ations, and has sat in the chairs of five different learned societies. He is one of the Forty Immortals, being one of the few men ot science without special literary claims who have ever been elected to the French Academy. He is profoundly absent minded, so much so that on the day of his marriage a search had to be made for him by his bride's relatives. He was finally discovered in one ofthe hospitals of Paris, and declared that he had forgotten all about the weoding. TO PLAY MUSICAL WHISK A Detailed Description of the T.atesf Fad in Society Circles. In these days when it is the fashion to understand and study whist, it is inter esting to know that as a novelty for a bazaar the game has been introduced as "Musical Whist with Living Cards," says a wrifer in the Ladies' Home Journal. Four players are seated upon raised seats; a large, square cloth, on the floor or on a platform or stage, forms the card table. The cards are repre sented by persons in appropriate custumes, and the gowns for the court cards may be very original The clubs usually wear gray and white, the emblems being in black velvet, And have crowns of silver gray and jet. Hearts wear a pretty shade of green, with white, and the emblems are in. red. Spades are in pink with black velvet emblems; diamonds in yellow with deep red. The -parts af the smaller cards may be taken by children in gowns of cream-white and mob caps, the cards being indicated in large characters on the front of their dresses, or they may carry an immense card, two feet in length, and hnng over the shoulders, hanging in shield fashion in front, on which are the spots of the card, and a card should hang at the back also and display the ordi nary kind of a card back. The cards enter to the music of a march and are preceded by two little pages clad in slashed satin suits.. capes with ostrich tips, and carrying wands of silver. Shuffling, cutting and dealing are shown by a dance, and the cards then arrange themselves in front of their respective players. Each player in dicates in turn the card to advance to the center, with musical accompaniment. The winning card of each trick leads the others to one corner of the square where they form in file, and so on closing up when six tricks are made on either side. At the conclusion of the game the tricks of the winning side lead off in triumph those of the losing side. DR. HANSEN'S POLAB SHIP. The Vessel Is Constructed to Bo a Rare Marvel of Solidity. Dr. Nansen's polar ship has progressed so far in construction that one can now form some idea of its general outline, says FdkeUadti, the leading paper in Christian io, Norway. The slanting sides strike the eye at once. Under tha supposition that the vessel will be "'screwed" by the ice, care has been taken that no projecting points or fla t surfaces exist. The peculiar design is based on the anticipation that all ice, when meeting the vessel, will be forced down under it, allowing it to be raised so much out of water. For the same reason the bottom of the vessel is covered with hard and smooth wood greenheart, 3 to C inches thick. Inside, the vessel is provided with horizontal, vertical and diagonal crossbeams, fastened by hundreds of iron and wooden joints, giving the impress of great solidity. The frame is mostly old oak. Besides the outermost covering of greenheart, there are two oak skins. The vessel is provided with a steam engine ot 160-horse power. It is rigged as a three master schooner and will mainly rely on its sails when in the ice. Its dimensions are: Keel 31 meters Greatest length of deck 89 meters Greatest width or deck. 11 meters Height from keel to deck 5.25 meters Whon loaded 4.75 meters Displacement 00 tons The hull will be extremely heavy on ac count of the heavy material used in its construction, yet it is estimated that she will be able to carry 400 tons of coal and provisions, etc. Besides the smaller boats necessary for reconnoitering, etc., two large boats are being built, able to hold the w hole crew of twelve men and provisions for three months. If the polar currents are running at Nansen supposes, it seems reasonable to expectjthat His expedition will meet with success. His vessel is certainly a marvel of solidity. Finest Caves In England. The finest caves in England are those in Derbyshire, of which the Peak Cave at Castleton is noted for its grandeur. It is rather a succession of caves, and is situated at the extremity of a deep rocky gorge im mediately beneath the Peak Castle. The entrance is a large archway in the cliff 42 feet high and 120 feet wide. A long hall or corridor runs for 100 yards into the moun tain, contracting as it proceeds into a mere gallery, and, when this is passed, another large cave is reached. Tbx solid silver teaspoons at $5 per set are tbe finest offered anywhere. Go to fiteinmann'i. 105 Federal street, for the bast. THE PITTSBURG A NOTED DUKE DEAD. Marlborough, of American Matrimo nial Fame, Found a Corpse by A SERVANT IN BLENHEIM PALACE. The Fucuess loses tbe Mansion on Which She Spent a Fortune. NO CLEW TO TUE PARIS DYNAMITERS London, Nov. 9. The Duke of Marlbor ough was found dead in bed at Blenheim Palace this morning. On Saturday the Duke was in London and then appeared to be enjoying good health. The Duke recent ly seemed to have been in better health than usuaL The Duke retired last evening, as usual, and when a servant went to his apartment this morning to assist in his toilet, the Duke made no response. The servant ap proached the bed and at once saw that the Duke was dead. A physician was promptly summoned, and an examination showed that the Duke had been dead for several hours. The cause of death has not yet been ascertained. All summer he was working hard over a telephone scheme and other ventures in the city. He was the head of a new telephone company which was to revolutionize the ex isting system, but this company joined the Telephone Pool a few months ago. When the Duchess, formerly Mrs. Ham mersley, of New York, returned to England after her marriage, she found Blenheim Palace in a most dilapidated, condition. Even the locks on the doors and windows had to be replaced. All the expenses of repairing the place were met by the Duch ess, uho spent enormous sums in this wav. All this is lost to her, as the palace be comes the property ofthe Duke's son, who has hitherto been known as the Marquis of Blandford. It is probable that when the new Diike takes up his residence at Blenheim Palace he will be accompanied by his mother with whom he has lived since her divorce. In this event it will be seen the Duchess will have not even tbe satisfaction of living at the palace she has gone to so much expense to improve. It is believed that the city residence of the Duke will also pass to his heir. George Charles Spencer Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, Marquis of Blandford, Earl of Sunderland, Earl of Marlborough, Baron Spencer, of Wormleigh, and Baron Churchill, ot Sandridge, all in England, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and Prince of Mindlehcim, in Suabia, was born May 13, 1844. He served as a lieutenant in the Itoyal Horseguards. On November 8, 18G9, he was married to Lady Albertha Frances Anne Hamilton, sixth daughter ot James the First; Duke of Abercorn, and they have a son Charles Richard John, born November 13, 1871. This son now becomes Duke of Marlborough. They also have three daughters. LaJy Albertha secured a divorce from the Duke of Marlborough on her own petition, in 1883. He remained unmarried until June 29, 1888, when he was marriod by Mayor Hewitt, at the City Hall, New York, to Lilly Warren Hammersley, widow of Louis Hammersley, and daughter of Cicero Price, a Commodore in the United States Navy. Mrs. Hammersley was left a considerable fortune by her lormer husband, a portion of which was used to aid the Dnke in refitting Blen heim House, and otherwise restoring his somewhat impaired condition. Tbe late Duke was descended from the great En glish commander, John Churchill, whose military career is one ot the most brilliant in British history, Blenheim house being named after bis famous victory at Blen heim. The motto borne by tbe Duke in his coat-of-arms is, "Fiel Pero Desdichado,"" which translated means, "Faithful though unfor tunate." NO CLUE TO THE ANARCHISTS Who Missed mowing Up the Carmaux Unices, but Who Played Havoc at a Paris Police Station- i Woman With n Suspicions Package. PARIS, Nov. 9. Notwithstanding the denial of the Carmaux miners that they had anything to do with the infernal ma chine plot there are plenty of people who place the entire blame upon them. The more the affair is looked into the stronger grows tbe belief among unprejudiced people that the explosion was not the work of any of the miners themselves, but was due to some Anarchist sympathizer. Not withstanding the extraordinary efforts of the police to discover a clue to the perpe trator of the outrage they have not as yet found the slightest bit oi 'evidence. It was first thought the wrecked police station would have to be torn down, and that course may be followed atter experts pass an opinion upon the structure. Among the crowds of onlookers nas a man who de clared that the Anarchists were right in blowing up the bourgoise. He had hardly uttered the words before he found himself in the grasp ol a gendarme, who locked him up. The Government has decided to prose cute a number of militant Anarchists. M. se Frapper, a director of the Carmaux Mining Company, says that as he was leav ing the offices ot the company at ll o'clock yesterday morning, be passed on the stair case a woman whose head was covered with a black woolen shawl. She was carrying an uncovered basket from which protruded a curiously shaped article wrapped. He took notice ot tbe woman, for though she was poorly clad, she was going up the main staitcase instead of the one devoted to the use ot servants. The bomb was discovered five minutes afterward. It transpired that while the woman was enterinr the building a man was observed walking to and Iro out side. 44,000 PEB&0JJS 0UI OF W0BK. Somo of tho Effects of the Great Spinners' Strike Beginning to Be Felt. Manchester, Nov. 9. The strike among the cotton operatives has thrown 44,000 persons out of employment, A pro posal has been made on tbe Exchange to put on half time all the mills in North and Northwest Lancashire in order to assist the Federation to fight the operatives. Some of the weaving sheds at Burnley are now working on short time, while others are closed. The stock of yarns has become exhausted as a result of the strike; Facts About Anchors. The number of anchors in British ships ot war varies according to the size of ves sel and the character of the service in tended. A large ironclad carries eight an chors, two "bowers," two "sheets," one ''stream." one "stem" and two "kedges." Smaller vessels have fewer and smaller an chors; and the "stream" anchor of a large ship may conveniently serve as the "bower," of a smaller, the difference be tween "bower," "stem" aud other anchors being rather in size than in design.

A Few Mlpers Working, but Most ol the Men Stand Firm A Else In the Water Considered Favorable to tho Men Some Flats Coming In. The Coal Exchange met yesterday in the 'Iron Exchange building, but the business transacted was rather light. The rise in the river was looked upon with apprehen sion as to the outlook for the early settle ment ot the miners strike. The sentiment was expressed that more water would influ ence the miners to stand out with the ex pectation that the river operators would be forced to give in, as they want to get as much coal into the Southern markets as possible. The outlook for a general break in the strike this week was not considered bright, as the miners manifest a desire to stand firmly in their present position. Many of the operators took a brighter view of the situation aud predicted an early resump tion of work at the reduced rate. Opinion is by no means aunit on tbe subject. The oper ators firmly asserted that tbe strike would be broken before this, and as time passes without any change, their belief in their own opinions has been materially weak ened. The rise in the river has allowed several empties to be brought from below the Davis Island dam. Several operators were seen yesterday, but they were inclined to sav little on the situation. Ali were hopeful of an early re turn. Captain Posey said: "We will never have our boats loaded with coal except at the reduced rates. The river men went in with the determination to fight this strike out. We have both the railroads and mines to contend with, but are determined to win. I have no idea as to when the mines will start." Captain Bunton in discussing the situa tion said: "There has been a slight gain on our side, but the strike is still on. The expected break this week may prove to be another unverified report. Little was idone this morning outside of hearing the reports from the-river mines." It is stated that while more water would tend to make the miners stand more firmly for their demands, the bad weather would also tend to induce the men to return to work, as they could find little work elsewhere and would be compelled to return. There are about 50 mines along the Mo nongahela Valley, and it is estimated that partial work is being done in ten of them. The following in the fourth pool are work ing to about half of their capacity: Green field, Crombie, Briggs & Flint, Cedar Hill. John A. Woods & Son, Linnetts and Knobb. THE BEAVEE PALIS MILLS. No Time Set for Starting the Carnegie Plant and Mot Likely to Be. "The company has not yet reached any decision as to when the Beaver Fulls mills will be started up, nor has there been a time set for doing so," Secretary Lovejoy said yesterday, "and it does not know when that will be done. As I stated before, whenever the mills can be run without any trouble the subject will be consid ered. I don't think the election will have any effect on business but I have been paying no attention to politics. I Bimply ignore politics, aud the f-olicy of the company is along tbe same ine. I would like to say with regard to the reports about tbe Beaver Fails mills that they seem to come from the town itself and not from the company." "Do you think the Homestead strike had any influence on the result of the election?" was asked. "I don't know and do not care to discuss the subject, as I have not been studying the situation." Last night a telegram from Beaver Falls stated that Superintendent Wrigley re ceived orders from headquarters, Pittsburg, to post notices hereto-day that the Carnegie mills will be started next day, and that all the old employes, with few exceptions, will be given their old jobs again. Superin tendent Wrigley could not be found to ver ify this statement. Yesterday a number of the officials ot the Carnegie Company, un der the guidance of 'Superintendent Wrig ley, made a thorough inspection ot the plant. They reported finding everything in good order for a start. On the strength of these developments Manager Dillon is expected here to-day. The strikers claim to be as firm as ever. COAL MIREE3 ON A STHIKE. Miners at Beaver Falls Idle Because Thoir "Wages "Were Not Promptly Paid. The miners employed in the coal banks of Bolam & Son, at Beaver Falls, came out yesterday on a strike owing to the firm not giving them tbeir4two weeks' pay promptly on Saturday night. Members of the firm explain that they were disappointed in getting expected remittances from Pitts burg, by parties to whom thev had sold slack coal. They fear the strike will in volve the loss of contracts, in which caso the men will have to work half time the rest ofthe winter. BY BAIL TO JERUSALEM. The Line Connecting JafTA With the Holy City Is Finished. London Dally News. The first locomdtive from Jaffa has ar rived at Jerusalem. In this event we have a new and ample text for the preachers. The associations of the Holy City and its contact with the railway syBtem is some thing incongruous to contemplate. It will be sufficient to excite the wrath of Mr. Buskin, as it must appear to him to be a greater sacrilege than that of the British tourist shooting on Mount Sinai. Letters received from Jerusalem by the Palestine Exploration Fund, dated the 22d ult., announced that tbe locomotive had reached tbe city on the previous day. Trains are not yet running, but tbe rails have been laid down all along the line, and our Paris correspondent says that the line, which is being made by a French company, will be opened on the 29th ot this month. The terminus is unfinished. It will be on the west of the road to Bethlehem, not far from the south end ol the Montefiore almshouses. The Wadi Rababeh, perhaps better known as the Valley of Hinnom, will separate the railway station from the town; aud it will thus be' about half a mile from the Jaffa gate. Luckily the temple site, with Geshtemane and the Mount of Olives, is on the opposite side of the town, and will not be much disturbed by the noise of the railway. It may be mentioned that the Wadi Ra babeh means "The Valley of the Lute." The Arabs will now have to call it if Arabic-words can be found for the sentence "The Wadi ofthe Railway Whistle." A Remarkable Bugle's Nest. Some Swiss papers relate that a sports man recently succeeded in capturing in the Savoy Alps an eagle's nest, after killing the mother bird. The nest, which was arge enough to hold several persons, was made of thick branches, covered with straw and rubbish, and in it he- found, besides a young eagle, the following remains ot the feast: Fresh and stale meat, a recently killed hare, 27 chamois feet, 4 pigeons' feet, 30 pheasants' feet, 3 chiokens feet, 11 chickens' heads, 18 heads of grouse and other wild birds, and remains of snakes, squirrels, rabbits, marmots and other game.

Best After Meals Is Necessary. Dr. Carter, of Birmingham, England, de livering an address on braiu work and brain workers, called special attention to the danger of working too soon after meals. At least half an hour should elapse before exerting the brain. An hour's close atten tion to one subject was as much as could profitably be given at a sitting. He strongly deprecated the. use of sedative draughts by brain workers who could not sleep. Advised a Compromise.

An Attempt to Blow Up a Non-Union Board Ins: House at Sharpsbnrg Many TVin- dows Smashed In The Landlady Badly Shocked. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning a dynamite bomb was exploded on the win dow sill of Mrs. Elizabeth Marley'i board ing house at Sharpsburg. Mrs. Marley was lying in bed near the window when the ex plosion occurred, and was shocked into in sensibility. Her son Peter, who was sleep ing in a room on the second floor, was awak ened by the explosion, but supposed it to be the report of a cannon cracker. A few minutes later he heard bis mother call ing him, and on going to her room found her in a dazed state. The window sash and glass were scattered about the room, several feet of plastering had been jarred from the ceiling, and the floor was covered with de bris. The window sill, which had been of four-inch pine, had been crushed into two pieces, the first row of brick under the sill had been blown into fragments, and all the glass in the win dows on that side of the building bad been broken. Mrs. Marley keeps four non-union board era. The theory that the bomb was ex ploded by strikers is not believed by the citizens of Sharpsburg. Mrs, Marley said last evening: "I think the bomb was exploded by my husband, Landon Marley. He i3 a puddler, and has several times threatened to kill me. About a year ago he attempted to cut my throat with a razor. Last March, while living at Etna,Ileft himand have not lived with him since. He lives and works in Sharpsbnrg, and sometimes enters my house. One night a short time ago I was awatened and found him bending over my bed with a lighted lamp in his hand. At 5 o'clock yesterday morninghe came, asked me what had happened and if I suspected anybody." A EELIO OF THE WAS. The White Towel General Leo Used as a Truce Flag; at Appomattox. Chicago Heraid.l One of the most interesting relics of the late civil war is the piece of white toweling that was used as tbe flag of truce when the Confederate army surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox. It is owned in this city by General E. W. Whitaker, who was a member of General Custer's staff, and who received it from Captain Sims, of Longstreet's staff, on the morning of April 9, 1865. General Whitaker has treasnred it during all these years. He was induced to part with a portion of it several years ago, when he gave half of it to his old com mander, the late General Custer. Mrs. Custer afterward gave the fragment to the museum at West Point. On the small piece of toweling appears the following statement sworn to by General Whitaker before a notary public": "This is a piece of the cloth cut frr.m the identical flag of truce which was used under orders of General B. E. Lee to ask a cessa tion of hostilities of the Federal army at 9 o'clock A. m., April 9, 1865, at Appomat tox Courthouse, Va. This flag ot truce, a large white towel, wa3 in tbe hands of Cap tain Sims, of Longstreet's staff, when he met Custer's cavalry charge. It was used by me in the rebel lines at the request of Generals Longstreet and Gordon to an nounce the surrender of Lee to the infantry line of battle and also the cavalry."

The difference in women. e Some women are tireless in their home work. Some are tireless in their work for the church. They laugh, they sing, and are happy. You remain at home broken hearted, for you are utterly un able to make any effort what ever. The horror of " Female Com plaints " is upon you ; you have that distressing " bearing-down " feeling, your back aches, you are nervous and despondent, don't care to move, want to be left alone, your digestion is bad, and you are wholly prostrated.
