A SPBiKEJ DROPS DEAD IN THE PitESBYTEaLAN ASSEMBLY. judge Breckinridge of St. Louis Sud denly Expires After Speaking on the Brings Case—-ne Remains Taken Borne on Got. Alger’s Speciol Car— A Similar Incident Recalled. Detroit, Mich., May 28.—1n the Presby terian general assembly’s morning session the devotional exorcises, in which there was marked earnestness in seeking divine aid in the emergency thrust upon the assembly by the Briggs case, were closed by tinging “Blessed be the tie that binds.” Dr. Patton said he would not speak long, but only a word of explanation. “You are no doubt ready to oredit our committee with a desire to do simply what is best. Recog nizing our liability to error, we have had only a desire to do what is demanded by the exigencies of the case in a spirit of kindness, and recognizing the rights of all parties concerned. Our report is unanimous, although propositions were made for a dif ferent action, but, after full discussion, we could see no course but that we took. The past, present and future were fully weighea. If discussion brings new light u e will welcome it. We are ready to give the reason for every decision we have made. We hope there will be no long debate, al -we are prepared for it. We hope it will be conducted in the same spirit that has actuated the committee. ” A TWO HOURS SPEECH. The debate was opened by Prof. Smith of the Lane Theological Seminary, who spoke for two hours in opposition to the action recommended by the committee. Dr. Logau of Scranton, Pa., suggested a modification of the action proposed by the committee: “They say they have given us their best judgment of what is the least the assembly can do in the premises. I agree with them, with these two amendments: “1. Insert ‘for the present’so it shall read, •the assembly disapproves for the preseat the appointment,’ etc. “2. (This he moved and it was seconded.) That a committee be appointed consisting of eight ministers and seven ruling elders to confer with Prof. Briggs and tho directors of the seminary.” The debate was continued by Dr. Mackay of Philadelphia, Dr. Francis of Cincinnati, and Dr. Evans, (who spoke two hours in defense of Dr. Briggs). THE LEGAL SIDE OB' THE CASE. After the recess the debate on Dr. Briggs was resumed and Judges. J. Breckinridge of St. Louis, a member of the committee on theology seminaries and one of the most emineut lawyers in the south, stated the legal points in the case. Years ago, he said, Union Seminary was independent, but in 1881 it became Presbyterian, and of course the assembly from that time controlled the appointments. If we do not move now, he said, we never can. Dr. Logan’s amend ment for deferring action is impracticable. We view the transfer from one chair to another to be the same as an appoint ment. We can do nothing wisely except disapprove. I think it is wise not to assign reasons. The judge some times cannot give all of the reasons for his decisions on the bench. But without as signing other reasons, it does seem to me that the mind of the church for some months has been anxious, and that we should relieve it. His last words were: "Now, gentlemen, I feel that I have dis charged ray duty and wished to be excused from further speaking.” THE JUDGE FALLS DEAD. Pleaching for a glass of water he threw up his hands and fell, striking the back of his head heavily on the floor. After the judge had been carried to an ante room the debate was arrested, and when, a few moments afterward, the physicians in the audience who hurried to his aid pronounced him dead, the assembly voted to do no further business, and instead of a banquet in the rink this evening, to hold a prayer meeting in the Fort street churoh. A committee consisting of President Pat ion, Rev. Drs. Hayes, C. A. Dickey and I H. P. Smith, and F.lders J. J. McCook and I E. W. C. Humphrey, to which Rev. Dr. I \ ermilye, delegate from the Reformed I church, was added, was appointed to I make suitable arrangements in view lof the occurrence. President Patton nsked Ito be excused because of fatigue. While ■ this committee were absent the assembly I engaged in devotional exercises and remi- I niscencesof Judge Breckinridge. A SPECIAL CAR FURNISHED. I It was announced that Gov. Alger had ■ offered his special oar and train to convey ■ the remains and committee to St. Louis. ■ As several of the committee had decided to I a-cept this offer the assembly continued its ■ devotional exercises until the com ■ mlttee could perfect and announce ■ its arrangements for the journey and for a ■ memorial meeting to-night. The special ■ committee to go to St. Louis was announced 12 s ev - Ers. Hayes, Dickey,s Erskine and ■ Smith, with Elders Rankin and Mont ■ gomery. Dr. Nicolls, pastor of Judge ■ Lreckinridge’g church, is absent, but will ■return in time to take the train. Chance to see the remains. There was no opportunity to sea the re mains, and after announcing that there would be prayer meeting in the Fort street church at 8 o’clock this evening, the meet ing closed with prayer by the moderator. Many will recall the similar and sudden leath of ex-Gov. Washburn nt the great °f the American board at Spring leld. Mass., which so greatly softened the mated discussion which there, as here, was toing on over doctrinal matters. RON OUT BY BTRIKER3. Sailroad Men Make Four Officials Walk the Ties.

Washington, May 28.—A brief cable gram received at the navy department last evening from Capt. Remy simply announced the arrival of the Charleston at Callao, without news of the Itata. It is expected at the navy department that she will spend two or three days at Callao, taking coal aboard. She has been just ten days at sea since leaving Acapulco, and her coal must be nearly exhausted. She should make the run from Callao to Arioa, Chile, where she is expected to touch, in two days; or if she keeps straight on she should arrive at her destination and join the Baltimore and San Francisco at lauique in three days from the time of her departure from Callao. So the longest longest chase on record is nearly over, aud unless the Itata blunders into port while the Charleston is there it appears that the chances of her capture by that vessel are now very small. ORDERED OUT OF PORT. Dr. A. M. Soteldo, long the Venezuelan minister here, informs the Associated Press that dispatches received to-Jay from most reliable sources in Mexico slate that the Mexican government ordered the insurgent Chilean cruiser, the Esmeralda, to leave the harbor of Acapulco. The oommander of the vessel said he was willing to leave, but his ship had no sails and could not depart without steam power. The government then allowed the Esmeralda to take enough coal to carry the order into effect, and she received 250 tons, her ordinary consumption bring fifty tons per day. The Esmeralda sailed on the 28th instant, immediately after receiving her coed allowance. NAVAL COURT-MARTIALS. Lieutenant Commander CiCknell Sus pended for a Year. Washington, May 28.— The court-mar tial whiob tried Lieut. Commander Biok nell ou a charge of through negligence suffering two vessels of the navy, the Gale na and the Nina, to be stranded, has found Commander Bicknell guilty and sentenced him to suspension from rank and duty for one year and to re tain bis present number in his grade during that period. The Secretary of the Navy has approved the action of the court and to-day promulgated its action. commander lyon’s trial. Following dose upon the action of the navy department in the case of Commander Bicknell will be an order for the trial by court-martial of Lieutenant Commander H. W. Lyon. He commanded the tug Triana, which was wrecked on Cuttyhunk while on the way to succor the Galena and Nina. Commauder Lyon has a fine reooad, particularly in connection with the Samoan wreck, and on this occasion volunteered to go to the rescue of the Galena in bad weather, and ou a foggy night. The vessel stranded by mistaking ala itern carried by a life saving patrol (or a lighthouse. The court of inquiry appointed to examine into the case recommended that a court-martial be ordered, and this will be done. WADB HAMPTON'S VIEWS. The Ex-9enator Not Worried by the Third Party Movement. Washington, May 28. Ex-Senator Hampton, who lias just passed through Washington on his way to Canada, where he is going for salmon fishing, says he is not disturbed about the third party move ment. He says it will not amount to much in the south when the light of intelligent discussion is turned upon it. A party founded on one idea, and that a false one, he does not think can survive long. The sub-treasury plau, he says, is not only im practical and unwise, but is unconstitu tional. All that is necessary to destroy it is to discuss it and expose its absurdity and unconstitutionality. The best lawyers in the Senate, he says, agree that it is not constitutional. Gen. Hamp ton says that ex-President Cleveland still holds the hearts of tho people of the south, although they have not all liked his utter ances on the silver question. It is possible that his silver letter may injure him in the convention, but the senator thinks be will be the democratic nominee. He says be does not believe that President Harrison will be re-nominated by the republicans, and adds that the southern trip in his opinion, has not benefited him. The senator regards Secretary Blaine as a strong possibility. Guns of the Vesuvius. Washington, May 28.—1n accordance with the decision reached yesterday in the navy department,Commander Evans’ board will reassemble at Fort Monroe Tuesday, June 2, to determine the nature of future trials that shall bo made of tbe guns of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.

A New Postmaster. Washington, May 28. —The President to-day appointed to be postmaster, John M. Jolley ot Daytone, Fla., vice S. C. Weaver, resigned. WASHINGTON’S STRIKE. The Miners Decide to Organize and Arm Companies. Seattle, Wash., May 28. —The situa tion as to tbe miners’ strike has taken a serious turn. At a mass meeting of the miners at Franklin on Tuesday it was de cided to organize several companies and to arm and protect their homes at any cost. It was stated at that meeting that tbe state had been appealed to for protection against armed men iu vain, and tne sheriff had also been applied to without result. Cotnpanie< have been formed and will prevent “indiscriminate challenging by detectives and negroes, and preserve order at night in tbe residence Eortion of tbe rilisze.” At a meeting ere last night of the Ceutral Labor union it was decided to take charge of the strike and endeavor to bring about a settlement. Tbe oolored miner who was shot at Franklin died to-day. Perkius, the shooter, was discharged from custody upon the recommendation of the prosecuting attorney, as be was oonrinced that it would be impossible to maintain the ease against Periuna.

A Proposal to Liberalize the Require* ments for Licensure and Ordination Causes a Lively Debate at Binning* ham—The Vote 93 to 54 in Opposi tion to Any Change. Birmingham, Ala., May 28.— 1n tee Presbyterian assembly this morning a com munication was received from the assembly now in session at Detroit sending greetings. Some thirty leaves of absence were granted to delegates who wanted to go home. The committee on systematic beneficence reported that tbe churches bad contributed to all causes during the past year a grand total of $258,238. The third Sunday in October next was fixed as the date for taking up a collection for tbe Bible cause. A resolution was adopted that ths presby teries that have not given to the causes as ordered, be called on to explain. Another resolution adopted declares that church fairs and festivals are not proper means of raising money. A resolution was adopted calling on the world’s fair to keep its gates closed on Sun day. The assembly then entered on flnsl discus sion of two papers presented yesterday on the subject of licensure and ordination. One fuvois changing the law and liberalizing tbe requirements, and the otber opposes any change at all. WANTS THE STANDARD KEPT UP. Dr. T. P. Cleveland took the floor in op position to the proposed ebangrs He praised the workings of the negro college in Georgia. These blaak students, he said, are as well provided with educational advantages as the whites at Union and Columbia. He had seen them take a Greek verb to pieces and put it together again, work difficult problems on the blackboard, etc. He did not want the standard of licensure and ordination low ered so that iu a few years the black preacher would be a scholarly clergyman and the white minister ignorant of Greek and I,atin, etc. He denied that ministers were scarce because of the high standard of education. There are two sources from which preachers come, he said. The first source is the college, where trained minds and directed purposes are made. The otber source is like that of Matthew, the fisherman. He, Dr. Cleveland, hail started to be a lawyer, but his God had called him and he preached. “You do not want more measures to get more ministers,'’ ho continued. “You need new life; th re should be morechildren consecrated to God. It is not necessary to lower the standard; the juncture is critical; rationalism is ram pant; learning U needed for the learned.” MINISTERS NOT SCARCE. Dr. Robert Price spoke on the same side. He did not believe a high standard of edu cation kept men out of the ministry. The proportion of ministers hi the Presbyterian church was greater than in those churches where the standard was lower. Tho ad vocates of the change should give tbe strong est reason for going against Presbyterian traditions. Tinkering with its constitution and fundamental laws was irreverent and daugerous. This age required greater education and intelligence than ever before. If the Presbyterians wished to maintain their influence they must not fall below the level of education and oulturo and make the ministry contemptible. Rev. W. B. Jennings and Rev. N. B. Willis followed on the same side. Dr. Pitzer contended for the proposed changes. Dr. Huston offered os a substitute for paper No. 2, that the assembly declines to send down any overture at all on this sub ject to the presbyteries, and it was adopted by a vote of HS to 54. That disposed of tbe most interesting and important question before the assembly. Tho debate was lively and the result em phatically in favor of maintaining the old standard of education in the ministry. THE PAN-PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL. At the night session of tho Presbyterian assembly it had up the question of with drawing from the pan-Presbv terian council. The committee on foreign c Trespondence reported back the overture inviting the assembly to send thirty delegates to the Pan-Presby terian council soon to meet at Toronto, and recommended that the delegates be not sent. On motion of Rev. J. A. Bryan a substitute was adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to select delegates who should attend in compliance with the invi tation. Hot Springs, Ark.,and New Orleaus were placed in nomination as the place of meet ing next year, and the former won by a flattering majority. It had been expected that the assembly would adjourn to-night, but some matters of routine came up, w hich held it over until to-morrow. LYNOHKRS DISSUADED. The Father of the Wounded Man Ap peals to the Mob Leaders. Knoxville, Tenn., May 28.—The negro Patterson, who shot two negroes, held up two white men, and then shot Fred Carpen ter on Sunday was this morning lodged in the Knoxville jalJ. It was on tbe cards last night to lynch him. but Maj. D. A. Carpen ter, father of the wounded man, heard of it and immediately set to work to prevent it. The names of the lynching party were known to him, and by personal appeal and by an appeal to the chief of police, in which he asked that every precaution be taken to defeat the attempt and urged the police to do their duty if an attempt should be made, he broke the backbone of the plan. Msj. Carpenter is on record in this particular, as he has broken up several mobs sines the war. MYSTIC'S STRIKE. Trouble Between the Whitss and Blacks Anticipated. Ottumwa, la., May BB.—Trouble is an ticipated at Mystic, Minnesota. Two car loads of negro miners were shipped in at that place yesterday, aud strikers have been gathering iu large numbers, evidently deter mined that the visitors shall not go to work.

O’MALLBY’S CHANGES. Parkereon Fays He Can Get a Fair Trial in New Orleans. ‘New Orleans, La., May 38.- When the McCrystal and O’Malley bribery oases were called to-day their attorney submitted a motion for a ohange of venue. The state in troduced a number of witnesses, including the leaders of the oommitteo of safety, Messrs. Parkerson, Denegre and Harm ton. They all testified that they believed tbe accused oould obtain a fair trial here, in concluding hi* testimony Mr. Parkerson said: "I think O’Malley an get a fuir trial." The people of New Orleans were the most long suffering and patient Mr. Parkerson had lived among. GOOD EVIDENCE. The fact that O’Malley was walking around the streets of the city and had thrown defiance in the face of the communi ty was the best evidence that the accused could obtain a fair trial. There was in this community an immense prejudice against jury bribers and perjuiers, and as O’Malley was generally regarded as one of theso there was naturally a prejudice against him. Not withstanding this, it required twelve men te try the case, and twelve men could be secured iu this community to give u’Malley-a fair trial. PARKKRSON’S THREAT. Mr. Parkerson admitted having said on March 14: ‘'Leave O’Malley to our com mittee and we will attend to him.” Before all the testimony had been beard, Mr. Henriquas of the counsel for the defense abandoned tho motion for a change of venue and asked to have the case fixed for trial June 10, as he desired to be absent from the city until that date, but the state’s attorney objecting Mr. Heuriques then gave notice of the withdrawal of the plea of not guilty by bis clients, and stated that he would enter a demurrer similar to that sustained by the court in the case against Granger, in which the information Weis quashed on the ground that the allega tions set forth wore not sufficiently specific. The McCrystal and O’Malley cases go over until to-morrow, when the demurrer will be passed upon. GOTHAM'S LUMBBR LOCKOUT. If The Strike Continues Till Next Weak 20,000 Men Will Be Idle. New York, May 28.—The report that some cl the lumber dealers would open their yards to-days, and that they had seceded from their original agreement, was em phatically denial this morning at the head quarters of the Lumber Dealers’ Association. It is shown by statistics that the consumption of lumber Ip the building trade was re duced the first week of the strike about 80 per cent, and the second week over 05 per cent. The estimated loss In wagba by the workmen thrown out- of employment dur ing the first week of the strike amounted to about 1250,000. and during the aecond week to about $450,000. 20,000 WILL BE MADE IDLE. Should the strike continue until next week it is said fully 20,000 men will be thrown out of work by the stoppage of building operations. The tie-up is also being severely felt in Albany, Buffalo and Tonawanda, where a large number of canal men ars lying Idle. One of the duelers said to-day that should the present condition of affairs continue much longer it would be pretty severe on some of the dealers, if it did not foree them out of the business altogether. WALLA WALLA’S SOLDIERS. Fears of an Uprising Wben Arrests Were Attempted. Walla Walla, Wash., May 28.—The sheriff of Walia Walla county has tele graphed Got. Kerry asking him to send arms and ammunition, as an outbreak of tbs soldiers is possible wben the arreet of the soldiers indicted for complicity in the Hunt lynchiug is made to-day. The gov ernor sent the neceetary order. The Central Will Pay. Montgomery.

A Note fbr $50,000 Drawn by a Person Who Never Lad Any Existancs Dis covered Among the Assets-Tbe President Gives Ball, but the Cashier Btill Under Surveillance. Philadelphia, Pa., May 28.— Francis W. Kennedy, president cf the suspended Spring Garden National Banb.waß arrested this morning on a warrant sworn out by Bank Examiner Drew, charging him with making false entries In tbe books, false re turns to the controller of the currency, and embezzlement of SIOO,OOO aud upward of the bank's funds. Henry H. Kennedy, cashier of tbe honk and brother of tbe president, was also arrested, charged with conspiracy with Fraueis W. Kennedy to make false ontries, false returns and with making both. SURRENDERED VOLUNTARILY. When the two accused mon heard that warrants were out for their arrest they at once went, befhre United States Commis sioner Bell and gave themselves into cus tody. The ooujisel for the Kennedy s stated that they were willing to waive a hearing and enter bonds for their appearauoe at court. Commissioner Bell declined to al low them to waive a hearing and fixed the bail of Franois W. Kennedy at $20,000 aud that of his brother, Henry H. Kennedy, at $15,t00, for a hearing on Monday next. The Kennedy* are already under SIO,OOO bail each to answer a charge of receiving money from depositors when they knew that the bank was insolvent. HF.NRY GIVES BAIL. In the case of Henry H. Kennedy bail was at once entered for his opuearanoo, and ho was released. Francis \V. Kennedy spent all day aud part of the night in an unavailing effort to secure bondsmen. In stead of being taken to prison he was allowed to stay ail night at a hotel umlor the close surveillance of four deputy marshals. From the fuw developments that took place to-day in the affairs of tho Spring Garden Bank it is evident that when tho full story of the bank’s management is told that it will fairly rival that of the looted Keystone Bank. Receiver Fisher said to-day that the further he examined into the affairs of the bank the blaoker the outlook became for the depositors. WORTHLESS COLLATERAL. It In said that much of the collateral held by the institution is of the most dubious character, being one-name paper, stock of companies that are more or less embarrassed and such like. A member of the depositors’ investigating oommitteo that is investigat ing tho bank’s affairs said to-nigbt that among the collateral of the bank were two notes, one for $58,000 and the other for $20,- 000, that are drawn by persons who have no existence. BUSINESS HOUSES CRIPPLED. The suspension of the (Spring Garden Bank has been far-reaching in its effects, and many business houses have been seri ously crippled by it. Several failures have taken place, the direct cause of which can be traced to the suspension of the bank. Yesterday the American Machine Company was forced to assign by reason of the bank's failure, and to-day the Millward-Cliif Cracker Company made an assignment from the same cair-o. The Millward-Cllff company is a stock company, and in an investigation of its affairs it was discovered that Frank Benton, treasurer, had given accommodation notes to the extent of $50,- 000 to Franois W. Kennedy president of the Spring Garden bank. When this was discovered the officers of tbe company de cided to make an assignment td protect their creditors, pending a thorough investi gation. The company has a paid in capital of $125,000, and its asuetß are now thought to be about $50,000 in excess of its liabili ties. A bank undjr a cloud. Tho Third National of Philadelphia Hurt by the Bardeley Inquiry. Philadelphia, Pa., May 28.—During the exposure of the business methods of the Keystone Bank and of City Treasurer llardsiey, the Third National Bank was given an unpleasant publicity through its business connections with the in stitution and with Bardsley, and in consequence lost within two weeks $1,000,000 of deposits. To-day Presi dent Percy M. Lewis and Vice President George Myers sent in their resignations to the board of directors, stating that they thought ths best interests of the batik would be served by their so doing. BARDSLBY’B HUCCE SSOR. The City Council Accepts Oeller’s Bond. Philadelphia, Pa., May 28. Both branches of the oity counoils this afternoon, by a party vote, approved the bond of the City Trust, Hafe Deposit and Surety Com pany as surety of Richard C.

John, Newfoundland, May 2&— The reports of the French oommander stopping the sale of bait to Americans are confirmed to-day. Steam launches from tbe French warthipe drove the boats from the sides of American schooners. They also took up tbe nets of tbe Newfoundland fishermen, putting them ashore.

Hut such utterances not founded on careful inquiry and real knowledge may do harm by strengthening the ultra party, to whom and not to tbe czar these strange, revolting proceedings are due. At one time I had influence with the Russian government, but wbeu premier in 1885 I bad ample proof that my influence was gone. Now my personal action would have uo weight. The pressure of opinion of the civilised world based upon ascertained farts is the best mode of proceeding. JEWISH organization. "The widely effective organisation of the Jews ought to enable tiie preparation of a complete Ktatement.showing the exceptional laws bearing upon the Jews in Russia and the total absence of reason for such laws, and also au adequate report on tbe recant persecutions. Huoh a statement, seriously executed, would bring powerful artillery to play upon the citadel aud wrong no state or empire. The gruatoet nation on earth would have the smallest title to com plain of suob a mode of interference, offer ing the inculpated government the fullest means of defense.” In concluding Mr. Gladstone expresses the hope that the Sultan of Turkey will support tbe scheme for the settlement of the Jew* in Palestine.

OK THE POOREST OLASKKH. In many cases tho fugitives aro of tho poorest classes, with uumorous scantily clothed children dragging at their mothers’ skirts and crying for bread. All are shy and suspicious, remembering their ill-treat ment at tho Russian railway stations, aud fear fresh torments and depredations if they enter the waltlug-rworas. A doc tor attends the children who aro ill from tho effects of tho journey. The fugitives describe how the streets iu which they lived would be suddenly cordoned with police searching for Jews, who would fly to tbe synagogues for safety; how the doors of the synagogues would be wrenched off and troo|i of armed men would tie their bands and feet and plunder everything in the place, ana how on arriving at the frontier tn police would extort fresh bribes to allow u u to cross.
