—[Special.]—Promptly at 0 a. m., today, Mod
erator Brown calltd tho preabytory to ordor,
and the trial of Or. Janlea Woodrow for heresy
wae formally opened. The church was packed
with an eager and expectant throng,. there
being hardly ttandlng room. People Stood on
benches. Sited op nlele,. and crowded around
the windown. The heat waa overpowering.
A solemn huh fell upon the preehytery and
he moderator dallyared
audience when the
charge, that the cdnrt vu about to pirn to tka
conaideration of tho raw, and enjoined upon
the member* tOTOcolloctand regard their high

THE INDICTMENT KXAIs.
Tha indictment was next lead by the clerk.
Dr. Woodrow arose and. antwored with em
phasis:
‘•Not guilty to the charge of heresy.”
Then thegreettrlal begin. All through the
long hours of tho day has It progresiad. The
court and audlenco are completely fagged oat.
The teetlmoiry IS most voluminous. To glvo It
In detail would fill * page of Tue Constitu
tion. ■
I)r. J. L. (tlrardeau, of South Caro
lina, ws* tjro drat witness examined. He
was sworn and. proceeded to give the effect
produced on his mind by Woodrow's address
before tbe Alnmnl association. A discussion
over relevancy of testimony at once brote, Dr,
Adorns contending that tbn prosecution wag
conducting the caso and I)r. Woodrow con
tending that the court was. Dr. Woodrow
announced that bn would make no point on
tho rolcvsnry of testimony. Dr. Girardeau
■aid ho was surprised when he heard. Dr.
Woodrdn's.address', that he felt it pride In It
as an Intellectual achievement. Me gathered
from It that Dr. Woodrow held the doctrine
of evolution to be true with limita
tion, Dr. tllrardean sahl that tho addrauee
had rained much saltation, Tho ultimata
results bo could not say. Prior to thla tho
wltncaa had board of no mlnlatar holding inch
views, Slnco then he hod met ona or two at
synods who leaned that way. Tho wltneai
knew of but one commentary which took the
asmorlevraatotho probable truth of evolu
tion. Tbe next question - -
CHEATED A SENSATION.
Dr. Adams asked Dr. Girardeau:
"Did yen ever hear beforo. that time of
organic dust?”
Tho witness emphatically replied:
"Never. I should Certainly have noticed It;
I consider It the moat extraordinary combina
tion of wonla I ever heard.”
Dr. Woodrow aaked;
"Rid you ever before titlug It yourself hear
the teira'anti-Woodrow?"’
This provoked a sharp cross-firing, the wit
ness attempting to explain, flist, the uao of the
term In his lamong'mock telegram.
Dr. Woodrow declared during the course of
the Jntritlgttlop, with great and impressive
earnestness:
"I have no objection to every eyllablo I
over uttered since I began to lisp bolug mado
known to thla court.”
It waa brought cut iu evidence that Dr.
Wocdlow bad declared that through bit ptper
be was ttaeblug evolution to four tboueaud
Constituents.
The wltnese declared that the doctrluo had
been
USED FOB INFIDEL PUhFOSKS.
It waa developed that tha resolution which
was' introduced In tho South Carolina synod
condemning Dr. Woodrow's teaching, was
drawn by Dr. tiirardenu, but wrai not adopted.
A sharp dltcnsslon ensued between Drs.
Woodrow aud Girardeau, the former socking
to show that the latter had at
tacked him In a aecular paper
before he bad annonnoed hit
opposition In a personal Intarvlaw. This la
lloth men disclaimed any Intention
the other'e feellBgi. and expreaaed the high,
cat regard for the Christian character of the
other. Dr. (Ilrtxdeau'e examination reontln
ucrtt111 threoo'clock, nnd In the aftornoon
the court moved from the cliuroh to tho arbor
on account of the beet.
US, ADAMS TESTIFIES.
Dr. Adame eworn, testified that ho prepared
the indictment with the assistance of an aman
uensis. lie corresponded with several breth
ren, and mad* up the Indictment from the
beatanthorltlee.
Dr. Woodrow aaked Dr. Ad*n>' who helped
him.
Dr, Adams'S replied:
“The question, sir, Is an intuit to my ahil-
Dr. Woodrow Insisted on Dr. Adorns giving
In detail the authorities on which he based
the accusation of he rosy.
Dr. Adam* answerod with tome warmth:
"You will Dud the answer in my argument.”
Dr. Woodrow aaked if the offense could be
eataVllshtd outside of the Sctlpture, Intel,
pitted try standards'
Dr, Adams thundered:
"Goto yonrbook."
Dr. Woodrow's object waa to satabllah that
the standards used by Dr. Adams were of
northern end not southern dlaclplluo. This
Dr. Adams vehemently denied.
Dr. Woodrow asked for tho object of tho
prosecution.
Dr. Adams
nXtIAINED HIS COMPOSUBK
and answered smilingly:
"Not to kill you socially or ecclealaitlcally
but simply to admonish you tocoasoyour
tearhiuga on evolution In any form.”
The cross firing between the two became
very keen. Dr. Woodrow endeavored
to show that Dr. Adams oflbred to
dltmlat tho charges if the former
would renonnee the teaching, and Dr. Adams
tried to explain what hit correspondence with
Dr. Woodrow on thla point really meant. Dr.
Adams' Augusta letter to Woodrow wae offer
ed In evldenre. Then followed discussion as
to the meaning of heresy. Dr. Adams making
an extended definition. The net of the tes
timony related to the difference between
teaching error and holding error, aod hew far
Dr. Adims won'd bare been justifiable in dia-
mrrilnc the prosecution against one whom ho
bellevi d to he In heresy, merely because he
bed refrained from tcachlug it.
Dr. Woodrow asked, in conclusion:
"Have you ever said that uy views on evo
lution placed tha llthlc on trial, and tha Pres
byterian church on trial, and struck at tha
vrry vitals of religion?"
Dr. Adams answered:
"I have said so."
Bethany, Ga* Ausust 1?.—[Special.]—A
large crowd wts present at the Woodrow trial
for henry, before tho Aug aits presbytery to-
Adams and Woodrow, Dr. Adams the accused,
proceeded to crest examine himself is to hit
course In preferring chargee against Woodrow,
afttr which argnment began by Dr. Adame
on behalf of tho prosecution. The only point
waa the correctness of views held by
the scented. Were they in aeeotd
with tbe scriptures as interpreted by the Pres
byter [so church? We thought It tho moot Im
portant care coming before tho house. It vu
a crisis In tha church. Wa an trying -Dr.
Woodrow on the question of evolattoa. either
as an abstract principle or aclentific hypoth
esis. Dr. Woodrow admit* ho finds nothing
In the Bible to contredlet the theory that all
tblnga ware made by tbe immediate act of the
Creator,. end that . it was developed
by evolution. The ephnker then
at length reviewed Dr. Woodrow's
arguments and position on tho question at
Issue, celling ettentlon to the belief held that
God’s word teaches that man’s soul was im
mediately created. His spiritual nature oame
Into existence by the fiat of tho Almighty.
He drew tbe conclusion from the evidence
that Dr. Woodrow held that jnst as th* horse
cant man cams.
Won, gentlemen of the court, must i»f

today, 1* this to he the doctrine your church
fonbded on the aeriptures, as interpreted by
standards? fire you prepared to make thla
admission?”
Dr. fidams argued to prove Dr. Woodrow
had pasted theageofdoubtln teaching evo
lotion and had accepted evolution as tree be
yond peradventnre. The scriptures ate not
•Ucnt on the enbject. The Bible and confes-
sloh of faith both give accounts of tha imme
diate making of man. The defendant having
twortt to adopt the standards and catechisms
ief church could not exorcise the right
of private judgment to teach any 1 other
doctrine. Dr; Woodrow Is bound hy the
atory of creation In tho standards jnst as by
other rules. Dither hard the standards alter-
t»red, else step down and oat. The confes
■Ion of faith told God’s body was erected af
ter all the other creatures. Dr. Woodrow's
theory was (bat It wa* being created along
With othercrestarea all the time.
“God 'created man,” says our cbnroh, "out
of tho dtasf of the earth and woman ont of
the Sib of man. Should Dr. Woodrow be ac
quitted by tbs presbytery, the church weald
be pronounced In error.”
- Dr. Woodrow,in hie own defense,announced
tbstthe principles of his address were erne,
and would pro rail against *11 opposition. He
taifi lit work had nothing -to do .with hit
change of view*. I will not disease evolution
here, for I would consider it a profanation to
dlrcusa a question of pare soionco in h court of
tho J-ord Jesus Christ, but thtnkiug
it unsafe for the presbytery to
base any action on the vloam ‘ as
interacted by Dr. Adtma, be would explain
that he had traced layer after leyer.aind fossil,
and knew along with others that thoss'fqrma
of lifts have followed each other ln.that par
ticular order. That la the part that It not a
hypothesis. My teenier’* hypothesis that this
Is e hypothesis la a vast mistake. I am sur
prised that Dr. Adams ahonld be ashamed of
having been a quadruped.
"Explain what you mean by your last asser-.
thin.”
■T mean that man before birth passed
through then Intermediary stages. How are
you going to prove that I am wrong? Ihavs
S ever said that ovolutloq waa taught lathe
Ikle, or anything like It. But I do say that
the Bible does not tell ui whether tho process
was mediate or Immediate,”
Dr. Woodrow said the standards did not go
further in' explaining the creation of man
than tho Bible h*d done. He alUrmod. in
aplte of what Dr. Adams had said about
him, that ho -did believe in tho Bible
and all that it taught. Was ho
compelled to believe in what It did not teach ?
Re affirmed that he wonld not re-write a sin-
glo syllable of tho church atandsrds. Ho
would not tako man's meaning In proforenco
to God’a moaning.
Dr. Woodrow appealed In the sumo of tho
Master that no word or opprobrium In tho
church bo placed; that no additional meaning
bo placed on God’a ward. ,
On final vote thirteen voted Dr. Woodrow
not gnllty and nino voted him guilty on the
Drat count of tho indictment. On the other
counts the majority of hie votes was larger.
Dr. Adams, conducting tho prosecution, at once
gave notlco of appeal to synod In Spirts, In
October.
Tho presbytery then adjourned,

Louisville, Ky., August 13.— Andrew
Johnson, known throughout the state as tho
moot desperate of the wild, lawless spirits tint
infest the mountains of southeastern Ken
tucky, is probably now a prisoner In the hands
of tbe deputy United States marshal. Several
weeks ago Johnson, whose great crimes havo
come before tbe mountain courts, set at defi
ance the federal authority In a way that will
probably teach him finally the difference be
tween the administration of law in the moan-
tains and the iron grip of tha general govern
ment. On Laurel mountain, neat Pinevllle,
he met Special Bailiff Peter Hinkle, who had
In charge a federal prisoner. They were in
the woods several miles from any dwelling.
Johnson, without n word, drew a heavy platol
and covering Hinkle, demanded the |nr>
render of the prisoner. The. Utter
ccold do nothing but comply. To have re
fused with a revolver drawn fire steps away,
Would have been fatal. foolhardiness. John-
■on made off with his prisoner, holding Hinkle
in check with bb.pletol till they were ont of
sight, in the woods. Hinkle reported the
deed to Marshal Grose, and a warrant for
Jobnip;. charging him with reacnluga fed
eral prisoner,, was at once issued. Its service,
however, was a, matter of great difficulty.
Johnson, knowing that an attempt wquid be
made to arrest J)im, ^ithdrow to his cabin in
a natural rawness of .thg; mountains, tome
miles, near the Harlan county line, from
PlneyUle. A snort distance away'is the home
of Wm. Howard, one of the men who soma
weeks ago killed the Balleya at Mount Pleas.

TlfF. GOVERNMENT DEFIED.
He gathered to. hi* aid twelve or fifteen
others almost ah .fearless and desperate out
law! as bimtelf, among them Jennings, the
other of the murderers of the Uailoya. This
band he armed with Winchester rifioe. The
day they spent in tho fields and woods near,
and at hlaht kept a picket ou duty to watch
for tho officers, with regular relief as In the
army. Fiom his stronghold Johnson gave
out-
“We won’t be taken by no d diet of
rebels. If the United States want* ua let ’em
send a union man.”
Marshal Gross determined that thla defiance
meet be met and Johnson arrested at allhsz
srds. He hired a sufficient .number of Win
cheater rides and revolving shotguns at a gun
store here, bought four two-pound packages of
dynamite, and collected a band of tbs boldest
aid coolest deputies in the state. The porso
consisted of Colonel Hugh Rogers, John
Rogers, Robert Hughes, \\, T. Day aud
George M. Faulkner, with others who volun
teered to go, to the number of fifteen. The
arms were shipped to Barbouraviiie, and the
posse started from boro Saturday last, under
commtnd of Colonel Hugh Kogors. Ac Utr-
honravllle, on account of Colonol Rogers’
weakness from bis wounds of last winter.
Deputy Robert Hughes was to lead. Ho had
instructions from Marshal .Gross to surround
Johnson and his gang at night. The drat alg
nil of their presence wu to be a heavy uxplo.
tion of dynamite near tho cabin, to frighten
Johnson and his tnon, who by the waiting had
thrown off their guard awl kept no picket.
Coming ont in the conlbsion, the posse was to
cover them aud demand their aurrondor. If
Johnson did not at once give up, but with*
drew and made fight from his fort, the dyna
mite wu to bo hied to blow him up. Deputy
Hughes’e reputation as n brave, careful leader
I* a guarantee that Johnaon will be taken In
any case.
THE riKEVILLE TfiAGEDY.
There has been ho crime In Kontncky of
grester atrocity tban tbat which Johnson
committed at Pinevllle on the morning of the
loth of Muy, 1SS5. His victims were Joslah
Hoskins, his flve-yur old daughter Either
and Thomas Napier, Each of these were shot
through tbe head, and tholr brains and blood
scattered over tho rocky streets of the little
mountain village. The murders, except that
of tho little girl, were deliberately planned.
The day waa Sunday, and Hoskins aud Napior
had gone to a littlo church about four miles
ont of town. They went in an ordinary two
and chairs placed. They wore
accompanied by Henry Bird aud Miss Cyntha
Austin, Mrs. Viler Ferguson and Miss Lulls
Britton and tho little three end fire year
old nephew and nloce of Mr. Uotklna The
party returned from chnrch u they went, the
older people sitting in the chain and tbe
children nettling down in tbe straw. Pine
vllle baa only one narrow street, and the
residence of Johnson wu at the southern end,
an nnpalntcd frame shanty. In which he bed
been selling whisky, boing Just opposite. Be-
shanty the desperado awaited hie

victims with a double-barreled ahotgun In hit
tigerish hands. The rattling of wheels wu
soon heard on the rocky street, and whan the
homely vehicle came opposite, Johnson stooped
out and leveled hi* gun. It needed bnt an
Instant to catch a deadly aim, bnt he want

In quick realization of hit danger and u he

Hoskins, bnt the second barrel's load pasted
ky his shoulder into the head of the atartlod
little child. “Don't,” ho screamed, but as he
■poke Johnson snatched up a needle gun at
hla aide.

A THRILLING STORY.
Macon, Ga., August 17.—[Special.]—A Hs-
een man wu on an excursion train which car
ried a motley crowd to Brats wick, Sunday.
At all the little way stations they picked np
new additions of white men, negro men, ladles
end every sort. All went well to Brans trick.
On tho relora, whisky began to he freely cir
culated, and toon after passing Jesup, the
crowds in tbe several can began to grow bois
terous. A Macon man tarnishes your corres
pondent with some details of the feartal row?
PISTOLS WEBB DBAWN
and flourished above the huda of ptasongen,
men etaggered npand down the elalce cursing
and using all torts of mouaces and vile lang
uage. The train men tried in vain to. quell
the boisterous mob, but they were powerieu
iu tbe hand* of the gang.
In tbe colored car the Maoonlte found a seat,
but toon a burly negro rushed to the train
Ismpe and extinguished them, and left him in
a stale of mind. He wax sfrsld to go to the
other car for fear of being shot, snd he crept
out st the door and aatdown on the platform.
Another white man nt down on the opposite
side, and after nodding a little, be fell and
WENT TUMBLING DOWN
a (mail embankment by the rosdsldo. Pistols
began cracking about the time the train
paired Surreucy, and in a few minutes the car
in which were the maddened negroes wu
tplubcd and.spattered with African gore.
One man was shot through the neck and
died outright A second wu shot through the
body, and the ball lodged near bis backbone,
and wu considered mortal.
A third wu ahot through the arm, and
other reports say that two othen were
wounded, ono In tho log and the other In the
foot. One fellow had hu head smashed with a
buttle, and it Is said he will die. The gentle
man who informed yonr correspondent of the
bloody nccnrrence ssyi th.-it scenes of drunken
debauchery were enacted too horrible to do-
scribe.
Frightened half to death aober passengers
cowered in their seats, not knowing what mo
ment aome ruffian would shoot thorn. The
Macon man got behind the stove and crept In
the coil box for protection, and afterwards
sought tbe colored car, andatluttheplatform.
Returning to bis former seat after the moloe to
search for a handkerchief, he observed
A BULLET HOLE
through the sett right in the spot whoro bln
body bad reclined only a short while before,
occurred
Another report uys that the row occurred
nearSstillt, and that John Woodward, a no.
rro laborer at the Jobnsonvllle lumber mills,
fired the pistol shots. Aceordlog to this re
port Woodward was one of a large gang of
tho excursionists that got on st this polo*,
end that he wantonly fired his pistol into tiro
crowd cd car, and that throe of the negroes re-
ccivad fatal wound* one dying outright.
- From another gontlemau, whose word Is
unquestionable, your correspondent was able
to verify the above statements. Thla gentle
man gives the name of the negro ehot in the
abdomen aa Ellas Sellers, who lived at Baxley,
and wu there pnt off. El Williams was tho
man shot through tbe throat, and It la sup
posed that the jugular was severed,utho
BLOOD WAS SPURTING
from his wound when he wu discovered, and
It was thought to be mortal. He was put off
st 9:15 two miles from Lumber City. Beforo
leaving the car he suffered so much that his
leg and arm were drawn upward, and at lut
hla body wu raised to a sitting posture by his
agony. Five shots were fired In that coach
which can be accounted for. Three' of the
bullets passed through the ear and the other
two were in.the bodies.
The white men fired tilths shots from their
car, and at tho window* u evidenced by tho
abrcnce of shot holes in tho car, oxcopt tho
broten glass in the windows. They (wore that
no negro ahonld enter the car to
FRIGHTXN THE LADIES,
and they stuck to it. When tbe negroes pasted
from one car to the other,they were compelled
to wait until a halt wu made, aud then get
out and go around.
Thla gentleman confirms the report of do-
bancherlea committed in the ear hy drunken
men and women, who aonght the closets and
there held horrid revel while the train was
running at a speed of twenty-five miles an
hour. The wholo affair wu extremely dis
graceful, but tt could not be prevented. The
only redress tho train men had wutoput them
off u fast aa they could at every station.
Woodward escaped in his shirt sloovcs, near
Baxley.
HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
He Makes a Speech at a FollUcal Con-
▼•ntlon*
Mississippi City, Mire, August 18.—Tha
democratic congressional convention of the
sixth district met here today. No nomination
hu yet been made. Jut beforo the conven
tion came to order, Hon. Jefferson Dsvls en
tered the room, leaning upon the arm of Major
Cal Boboita. He wu welcomed with load tp?
plause. After organisation had been effected,
privileges of the floor were extended to Mr.
Fending report of commtttee on credentials
convention took receu until threo o'clock. In
nsuonio to lond snd repeated calls, Ur.'Dsyis
addressed convention. He said that u a Missis-
ilppian at leut he could address tha convention.
He adverted to great Importance ofdntleiof
congressman and danger always to ba (ap
prehended that petition would be prostituted
to peraonale enda The time wu when that
fear wonld havo bees unreasonable. Is It so
now? hauked.
He trusted that the convention would choose
a man who would be found proof agsiut
corruption. In tho old daya thla
district and the whole etate was represented
by statesmen of renown. Touching the ques
tion of President Cleveland’s appointments,
Mr. Davis said tbat the president wu a man
entirely new to national politics, thcrafora ho
could not ho expected to escape occa
sional mistakes. In regard to the negro
voto Mr. Davis said that southern democrats
should be congratulated upon having educa
ted their slaves up to (grade of citizenship,
no high that republicans thought them
fit to exeiclse the right of civil!-
satiou. Tho charge that the white
people of the south abused their enperlor
atrestth to anppreu the blacks he denounced
u calumnious. Ho trusted that Miuiulppians
would never stoop so low es to strike down a
vote or take an unfklr advantage of the If-
rnr*rt. •
