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.

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

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.

DISPATCH, THURSDAY,
RIVER strikejnthe balance.
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.

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.
Frank Luckart, a street car conductor,
yesterday afternoon charged John Beilly,
an Allegheny policeman, with assault and
battery. Luckart claims Iteilly boarded
his car on the night of November 2 and
struck him in the face. Eeilly avers that
Luckart insulted him.- Alderman Mc
Kenna advised that the case be comprom ised
and reserved decision.
Killed by a Crane.
Thomas Evans, aged 40 years, was killed
while at work in the foundry department of
the American Iron Works yesterday after
noon. He was helping to run a crane when
the latter fell over on him, crushing the life
out of him instantly. The crane weighed
three tons. The deceased lived at S3 South
Twenty-seventh street, where he leaves s
family.
DYNAMITED THE HOUSE.
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."
A Serious Political Argument.
Herman Kauffield is in the Twenty-eighth
ward station charged with assaulting J.
Heinricb, son of ex-Alderman Heinrich.
During a political argument Kauffield
pushed Heinrich off the pavement. The
latter struck his head on the curbstone in
falling, and was seriously injured.
A Boy's Hand Ground Off.
James Martin, an 18-year-old boy, had
his left hand ground off in the machinery of
a steam shovel about 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning. He was employed by Booth &
Flinn at Forbes street and AVoodland ave
nue. The boy was taken to his home at
4556 Penn avenue.
Amputated His Hand.
While cleaning out a car on the Penn
sylvania Baiiroad at Wall station last even
ing Andrew Tars sustained such a severe
injury to his hand that on his arrival at the
"West Penn Hospital the injured member
had to be amputated.
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.
Ahl dear sister, don't you
know that Lydia K Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will reach
the cause of all this trouble,
and you will
surely be well.
Don't hesitate.
Get the remedy
at once. It will
cure you sure.
