SD1IJUUZED HAPPENINGS.
A Brief Compendium of the
Busy World's Events.
DK BRIGGS SUSTAINED.
THE UNION THEOLOGICAL SEM
INARY STAND BY HIM.
The Directors af the Seminary Declare tke
Veto by the rresbrterlaa Geaeral Aa-
eeaabljr niecal saa He Oaa Caatlama te
Hold His FeslUea.
The directors of Union Theological
seminary have declared their position
on the question of the right of the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church
to veto the transfer of Prof. Charles A.
Briggs from the chair of Hebrew to the
chair of bibical theology. They ay,
after having taken legal advice, they see
no reason to change their views on the
subject of the transfer of Dr. Briggs,
and are bound to discharge their duties
under the charter and constitution of
the seminary and to adhere to them.
The intent of the veto passed by the
general assembly at the recent session
in Detroit was that Dr. Briggs should
cease to bo professor in Union seminary.
The effect of the resolution given above
is that it is the judgment of the direc
tors that the veto was a usurpation of
the powets given or intended to be given
to the general assembly, and since the
veto was illegal the appointment will
stand, and Dr. Briggs will continue as
professor during the coming year as
during the past seventeen years.
Friae FlajhtlBS; aad Lwxary.
Sevrbax big capitalists of San Fran
cisco have united in the formation of an
athletic club, solely devoted to pugilism.
John D. and Adolph Sprcckels, sons of
the sugar king, are the prime movers,
and they have secured the co-operation
of many rich men, including ex-Senator
Fair. The club will be named the
Great America. It will be wholly de
voted to pugilism and the members will
bo given a monthly show, with every
luxury that a first-class theater affords.
Troubles of the Switchmen.
Up to to-day not more than 6 per cent
of the locked-out switchmen in
Chicago have been taken back
by the Northwestern. The
reason given for this condition of affairs
is that the trainmen object to the rc-cn-gagementof
the Chicago switchmen,
feeling that the tables might be turned
if too many of them found their way
back to the company's employ.
A Missouri Twister.
Special from various points in west
ern Missouri report that a cyclone did
much damage. In tho vicinity of Carl
ton. Mo., four houses were partially
wrecked and six barns entirely demol
ished. Whole fields of wheat were laid
low and much damage was done "to
orchards. At Macon, Mo., wheat was
damaged to the extent of 850,000.
Will Uet oftT Easily.
SECBETAnr Tbact says the next step
will be to send the Etata back to the
United States to stand trial. There is
no expectation the officers and crew
have jeopardized their liberty by sur
rendering. It is believed in official cir
cles the Etata is not likely to suffer
heavily as a result of her escapade.
Saved By Its Speed.
The Indianapolis fast train ran into a
tornado near Crothersville. The engine
and train swayed fearfully and the pas
sengers were panic stricken. The train
was running nearly fifty miles an hour
and it is believed its speed alone saved
it from being wrecked.
Will Be Open la 1897.
Ex- Sesatob Muxes, of New York,

pany, expresses himself more than satis
fied with the condition of affairs in tho
canal work and confidently expects it to
be opon to business in 1897.

470 which has heretofore been the
largest number passed upon at a single
term.
The rumor comes from Washington
that Secretary Noble is soon retire from
the cabinet and accept a prominent
diplomatic position abroad. Political
gossip connects Ex-Congressman Carter
prominently with the vacant cabinet
chair.
A dabixg and almost successful at
tempt to steal the body of P. T..Barnum,

The presidential train, in its trip
ended last week, was .on portions of
twenty-two different railroads, and the
average speed of the train when run
ning was scheduled at thirty-three miles
an hour, but often when time had been
lost between terminals of roads sixty
six miles an hour was run.
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott preached a
semen at Plymouth church on "The
Two Theologies," which may place him
on the list with Dr. Briggs. He charac
terized the old as a belief that God was
outside of man, the new that he was in
man. He denied that the bible was
either isherant or infallible. It was a
mixture of the human and divine and lis
glory was that It showed God and nan
to be essential In nature. He found no
fault with the old and was sorry that
some others did. It was a step to the
temple. Still, while he honored the
steps and was glad to have traversed
them, he was unhesitating in his avowal
that he would not bring them back.
Assistant Secretary Nettxetox di
rected the return to their native coun
tries of two Italians and one Swedish

cates the vigor with which the sew law
Is to be enforced..
Of the fifty-two Episcopal dioceses of
the country over one-half have taken
action with regard to the confirmation
of Bishop-elect Brooks and only one
third have withheld their consent. It
is believed iu some quarters that even
if the standing committees agree, the
house of bishops will reject the nomina
tion, but the general opinion seems to be
that Dr. Brooks will pull through by a
satisfactory majority.
The May debt statement just issued
shows an apparent increase of 1600,000
in the debt since the 1st Inst. This is
due to the fact that the disbursements
during the month were unusually large,
leaving less money in the treasury May
29 by about the amount stated available
for the payment of the debt. The pen
sion payments were 88,500,000, leaving
$17,500,000 of such payments for the
present quarter to be met during the
month of June.
A deluge of rain and hail, accom
panied by big wind, visited a large
portion of Ohio and Indiana, and ex
tending up the lake region. At Cleve
land 61-100 of an Inch of rain fell inside
of seven minutes and tho streets were
turned to rivers. At Lima. O., a young
man was crushed by a falling tree. In
many places hundreds of windows were
smashed by the descending hail. A
train on the Wheeling & Lake Erie
suffered from the bombardment, the
windows in the passenger cars being
smashed, the headlight demolished and
a hole knocked in the roof of the cab.
While a crowd of 4,000 were witnessing
the Latonia races at Cincinnati the hur
ricane appeared. When the wind top

ficulty a serious panic was averted.

are reported, it being pronounced the
worst storm that section has experienced
for years.
IN THE WEST.

brick, will cost over 8400,000. A plain
style of architecture will be employed,
and the building will be utilized for all
purposes for which Madison Square gar
den is used.

Passenger association ruled that tho
Chicago & Alton shall pay over to the
association 8200 for the offense of failing
to make effective the ruling in connec
tion with the rate from Kansas City to
St. Louis and $300 for a similar offense
in regard to the rate from St. Louis and
East St. Louis to Chicago.
Gould is finding the Union Pacific a
heavy load since he undertook to save it
from the hands of a receiver. It is now
proposed to take up a large amount of
bonds now due by issuing a collateral
trust bond secured by the same col
lateral. It is a question if the investing
public will agree to shift the risk from
the present debt holders.
In an interview with ex-Senator
Tabor in Denver he is quoted as follows:

On Mr. Schweinfurth's feet were light
silken hose and dark bronze kid slippers;
a neat fitting pair of black trousers,
and waistcoat of rich material, and over
the vest a light check smoking jacket,
with silk braid and trimming, about
completed his attire. He was elegantly
dressed ana a heavy gold chain
and locket hanging from his vest
showed that he appreciated good jewel
ry. On the question of the immaculate
conception Mr. Schweinfurth said: "I
merely accept the testimony of these
ladies and I know that they are right.
In one case it was a married woman
upon whom the blessing fell and no
question can be asked about this. In
the other case it it true and unques
tioned that the miracle was wrought."
The grand jury in the New Orleans
Hennessy jury bribery case has made its
final report. Referring to the regular
proceedings about the court building,
the fact is mentioned that the list of
tales of jurors in the Hennessy case was
delivered to the defense nearly twenty

attorneys for the state. The grand jury
was unable to ascertain who was re
sponsible for the matter, but urged the
officers of the court to place the respon
sibility where it belongs.
The opponents of Senator Call in the

legal election was held and appoint an
other man.
Robert Schilling, secretary of the
! new people's party, has issued the call
for the committee of the party to be
j held in St. Louis Jnne 13 to arrange

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Weakly Bulletin Issued Shewa
FaveraMe Reports.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
says: Showers In the spring wheat .re
gion of Minnesota and Dakota the past
week have been light and in some local
ities injury has resulted, but the crops
are doing fairly well. In the Missouri
valley the weather was generally favor
able for small grains, but too cold for
corn. The drought in northeast Ne
braska has been relieved. In Kansas
the crops are improved, especially
wheat. The prospects are generally
good in Iowa and Missouri. In some
sections corn is being replanted,
owing to damage by cutworms
and a small area was plowed under be
cause of injury by the Hessian fly. In
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illi
nois the rain was very light and badly
distributed, and the cold weather re
tarded the growth. Michigan, Indiana
and Illinois, however, report a good con
dition and the indications are that the
pending drought will be succeeded by
general rains within forty-eight hours.
In California the grain is Improved,
while the hay, strawberries and cherries
are damaged by the rains. The fruit
prospects in southern California are im
proved, but the ripening is retarded by
the cool weather. In Oregon the
weather Is favorable and the crops are
doing well.
FOREIGN JOTTINGS.
The state department has received
official information of the peaceful sur
render of the Chilian Insurgent steamer
Etata at Iqulque. It had on board 5,000
rifles and also ammunition taken from
the schooner Robert and Minnie off the
port of San Diego, Cal. It had no other
munitions of war than those belonging
to the ship and had transferred nothing
to the Esmeralda, with whom it com
municated off Acapulco, Mexico. The
Etata will now be sent back to San
Diego, probably under convoy of a
cruiser. It will be delivered to the
United States court officials at San Diego
and the proceedings against it will be
resumed. The surrender was made
voluntarily by the leaders of the Chilian
insurgents. Their desire had been com
municated to the Washington govern
ment, which accounts for orders sent to
the Charleston to cease the chase it had
started upon.
The Jewish relief committee in Ber
lin states that the daily average number
of expelled Russian Jews passing through
Charlottenburg is 600, most of whom are
going to America. Relatives are wait
ing, ready to provide for some of them in
Paris and' for a few in London. The police
will not permit them to enter Berlin, so
they spend one night at the Charlotten
burg station and then proceed by train
toward their destinations. The director
of the relief committee says the commit
tee suffers from no lack of funds, money
and goods being freely given, while a
number of tho exiles are already sup
plied with money. The expulsions con
tinue in St. Petersburg, where groups of
Jews, Including well-dressed women,
are to be seen in the streets under the
escort of gendarmes, going to the police
station before they are started for tho
frontier.
Mr.Paknell will certainly marry Mrs.
O'Shea in July. Those best informed
declare that the tenacity with which
Mr. Parnell has clung to his position as
leader of the Irish Nationalists and the
desperation with which he has fought
the battle with his political op
ponents are largely due to the in
fluenco of the divorced wife of Capt.
O'Shea. Should sho win the probate
suit now pending regarding the disposal
of the legacies of her aunt, Mrs. Wood,
she will become passesscd of 100,000.
It is also rumored that after his mar
riage and the prorogation of parliament
Parnell and his bride will visit America.
Trade statistics for Costa Rica for
last year show a remarkablo change in
imports, the United States now having
a larger trado with Costa Rica than
England, France or Germany. The
total valuo 'of imports last year was
S4,250,000, of which the United States
furnished 81,500,000. The report from
the British consul to his government
just made public expressed surprise that
the United States should now stand first
on the list, when only a few years ago
its shipments did not nearly approach
those of Great Britain.
It is reported that the czar, in re
sponding to an appeal made by an ex
alted personage on behalf of the Jews
in Russia, said he was determined to
continue his measures of repression.
The Jews themselves, declared the czar,
had forced this policy. There had never
been a nihilist plot hatched in which
they were not concerned, and they
actively engaged in propaganding ail
such measures.
The international Templars confer
ence at Edinburgh, Scotland, discussed
the status of the Catholic members and
resolved that it is not a violation of tho
Templar obligation for a member to
communicate the work of the order to
the clergy under the seal of the confes
sional. At a banquet in Paris the imperialists
grew enthusiastic over the prospects of
the re-establishment of the empire
They decided to press their campaign
for the overthrow of the French repub
lic with renewed vigor.
Lake Ilmen, in the government of
Novogoro, Russia, has been the scene
of terrible hurricanes. Nineteen timber
vessels have been wrecked and all their
crews drowned.

mercial exchange indicate that the yield
of corn this season will be only two
thirds of the average amount.
The recent census of Ireland shows a
population of 4,706,162 males and 2,317,
076 females, being a decrease of 468,674
in the total since the last census.
At the annual meeting of the St. Louis,
Alton & Terre Haute railroad, at St.

-Sensational hteey BaealUJ.
The Supreme Court of Tennessee has
rendered a decision in one of the most
sensational cases ever tried In this coun
try, and in which murder played an Im
portant part It was from the chancery
docket, and was that of VL Clay King vs.
Mary E Pillow. King is the author of
"King's Digest of Tennessee," and has a
reputation throughout the South for
brilliancy as a lawyer and courage as a
soldier. Ho fitted out a company of cav
alry for tho Confederates during tho
war, mounting his men on horses bred
by himself in Kentucky. He fought his
way to tho command of a regiment and
"Clay-King's Tigers" made a name as the
most desperate regiment of cavalry in
the Wfe'sVfiOt even excepting Forrest's
troopers. King is now in jail on a charge
cf murder. Mary E Pillow is the
widow of General Gideon J. Pillow,
of Mexican war and chil war fame,
and a woman of rare qualities
of mind and person. She and King
formed a liaison about ten years ago,
and occupied tho King manor house,
about forty miles from Memphis. The
I artuership was alleged to bo a pureiy
business affair, but Mrs. Grundy said
otherwise. It was an open secret that
King was very much In love with Mrs.
Pillow, and about three years ago he filed
a bill in chancery asking the court to
divorce him from his own wife, stating
as a reason that ho wanted to marry
Mrs. Pillow. Tho bill never saw the
light at that time, for King withdrew it
before the newspapers got hold of it
A short time later Mrs. Pillow filed
deeds from Colonel King giving her all
of his property plantations in Arkan
sas and real estate in Memphis in con
sideration of his having a home under
her roof during his life. Still there was
no scandal, but finally the fair widow
ousted the Colonel from tho plantation.
He then tiled a bill against her in chan
cery reciting that sho had swindled him
out of his estate. The widow came back
at him with a voluminous cross bill
charging him with robbing her and try
ing to force her to live with him. Ho
responded with an anw?r containing
a stack of love letters from
Mrs. Pillow to himself Tho case
was tried last fall, and King won it
The affair was supposed to bo settled
but it was not, for on the 22d day of last
March King met Mrs. Pillow's attorney,
David II. Poston, on Main street and shot
him without a word of warning. Postcn
died the not day. On account of tho
prominence of tho murde:cr and his
victim the tragedy created intense ex
citement Postcn was very popular
with brother lawyers and King is de
cidedly unpopular, consequently ho has
found it ncco-sary employ non-resident
lawyers to assist in defending him.
The Supremo Court has now ronacrca
a decision in tho suit of King vs. Pillow,
affirming the C hancellor's decree. This
puts King in a better shape financially
to fight for his life in the Criminal Court
than ho would otherwise have been, bulj
public feeling against him Is very strong,
and unless he dies in jail, which is not
uulike!y, as ho is 65 years old, he will
projbably ba fouud guilty of murder.
His counsel havo endeavored to get a
change of venue, but failed.

In the States of the Missouri Valley the

small grains, but it was too cold for
corn. The drought in Noitheast Ne
braska has been relieved by generous
rains In Kansas all crops wero im
proved, especially wheat, which is well
headed.
Prospects arc reported as generally
good in Iowa and Missouri; frost did
littlo damage; iu somo sections corn is
being replanted, owing to damage by.
cut worms and in a small area wheat
wa plowed under on account of injury
by Hessian fly. Missouri reports wheat
average; meadows no. or better, and
fruit except apples, continue excellent
In Wisconsin, Mlchisan, Indiana and
.Illinois rain was very light and badly
distributed, and tho cool weather re
tarded growth. The effect of the week
was generally injurious.
Many farmers in Illinois are replant
ing corn on account of Its injury from
insects. Grasses and grain are dying in
Wisconsin on account of droughts, and
some fruits are injured by frosts in
Michigan. Indiana and Illinois, how
ever, report grain in good condition and
the indications are that tho pending
drought will be succeeded by general
rain within forty-eight hours. Crops
wero generally improved by recent rains
In Ohio, although frosts injured wheat
in northern sections. Cool weather has.
retarded all growth In Kentucky, where
the outlook is not promising and wheat
has been injured by rust
Local showers have given temporary
relief in Tennessee, Arkansas and north
ern portions of Louisiana, but In locali
ties not so favored cotton has been
injured and in somo sections p'owed up
and corn planted instead. In Texas,
where nail injured crops cotton has
been replanted and reports state that
corn, cotton and wheat are in good con
dition. The drought continues over the greater
portion of Louisiana, and all crops are
more or less Injured. In the east por
tion of the cotton region the prospects
are much more favorable, owing to re
cent rains, but the cool, cloudy weather
was unfavorable, though South Carolina
reports the crops in good condition. Ex
cessive rains in central North Carolina,
attended by cold weather, retarded
growth, while drought continues in the
vicinity of Wilmington.

NEBRASKA'S CROP OUTLOOK.
rhe Proepeete Hare Not Been Better
Since the First Seel Was Broken.
The Nebraska weather service bul
letin for the past month shows that
there has been an abundance of rainfall
in all but the extreme western part of
the state. In that portion of the state
a little cast of the middle, running from
north to south, the rainfall was over
five inches, reaching a maximum of 6.07
Inches at Oakdale. The extremo west
ern part of the state had less than an
inch, and the northeastern corner only
a littlo over an inch. The number of
rainy days, and of clear, and cloudy
days, was nearly normal. Thcro have
becn.but two seasons sinco 1878 that a
greater amount of rain fell than this
spring, tho exceptions having been in
1882 and 1883, when there were falls of
a very small fraction of an inch more.
According to reports from overy section
of the state the outlook for farmers has
not been better sinco the first sod was
broken In Nebraska. There is a larger
acreage of small grain in nearly every
section from which reports are received,
and corn will also bo largely increased,
although planting had just fairly begun
n many parts when the reports wero
made.

The Welcome Knln.
A scries of splendid rains throughout
Nebraska have improved crop prospects
100 per cent. The yellow and withered
wheat and grain fields have been given

green in the June sunshine. Tho drouth
was assuming serious proiiortions. but
tho prospects are again Mattering for a
bountiful harvest. Corn was the least
sufferer from dry weather and is mak
ing magnificent strides in growth. It is
now on an average between four and
six inches high.

From one end of the country to the

the general outlook is exceptionally
bright The month of May is always
richer in prospects than in results, how
ever, and this year It has sot violated
the time-honored rule, says the Inter
Ocean. -
In a negative way a good deal of
ground has been gained. The usual
labor disturbances havo proven remark
ably insignificant outside the iron
regions of Pennsylvania, and eves there
a final settlement has happily been
reached. Tho enemies of tho grain

work of devastation In the principal
agricultural sections, and the European

very great amount of money or energy
In depressing the prices for our prod

'RUN DOWN. OF COURSE.'
Mysterlowa Case of the Schooner Thomas
Hanse.
Tho disappearance of tho schooner
Thomas Hume, from Muskegon, Mich.,
to Chicago, lumber laden, is ono of those
unfathomablo mysteries of tho Great
Lakes which havo In years past dark
ened tho lives of hundreds of tho kin
dred of thoso who have disappeared.
Not certain that death has claimed tho
husband or father, wives and children
cling vainly, year after year, to tho hopo
that some time the loved one will return
to his home. Captain Lee, of Chicago,
who Is conducting a search for the
missing boat when asked his opinion
of tho fato of the vessel, said:
Collision run down, of course, just as
tho W. C Kimball was run down. If
she capsized she wouldn't sink, and I
don't believe that stanch, stiff vessel
over capsized. Somo steamer ran her
down. People say no captain would bo
heartless enough to loavo a crew after
runnintr their vessel down. Pshaw! I
have sailed these lakes forty years, and
I know of several such cases. Tho flno
schooner Magellan was ono of them. If
the officers of some steamers seo a b'g
loss to pay for, you bet thoy keep
mum." For days the reporters have
been endeavoring to learn tho names
of the crew, but to no purposo. Tho
Humo, liko all other vessels, kept a
book on board. That book is lost with
her, and no list of the crew was left
ashore. The owners of the Hume can
give only the namo of tho master Capt
Albrightson. Even tho Seamen's Union
has no list of the crew. It was ascer
tained to a certainty that tho mate was
Olof Johnson, but tho names of the
other five seamen have not been learned.
Johnson was 25 years old and was a
single man. His brother and sister live in
Chicago and his parents in Europe. Capt
Henry Albrightson leaves a widowand six
children in Chicago. Vessel-owners gen
erally urge that Congress should pass a
law making it compulsory for masters to
leave a list of the crew ashore each time
they go out It is a matter that the
masters must attend to themselves, as
they often pick up crews a few hours be
fore thoy leave port. These men on the
Humo shipped in Chicago, but as their
names are not known it is of course im
possible to nay at what ports their fami
lies reside.
A Waaderlns; Heir.
A private letter from Vienna says that
Count Stephen Karolyi, one of the most
powerful and wealthy members of the
old Hungarian aristocracy, has just re
turned there from tho United States
without having succeeded in his mission.
The object of this journey across the
Atlantic was to recover his son, the
young Count George, who landed in
Boston accompanied by an actress named
Barlska Frank, the star of one of the
fourth-rate theaters of Buda Pesth.
According to the statements of the old
Count the woman forms part of a gang
of Vienna usurers, whoso sole object Is
to exploit the family of the young man.
The latter has been In their power for
more than a year, and it was only when,
toward the end of last summer, he was
on the point of making a full confession
to his father of his troubles and of ap
pealing to blm to save him from their
clutches, that the gang, fearing to lose
their prey, causing Barlska to induce
him to eiope with her to America.
In February the Connt received the
news that his son had married the ac
tress, and he immediately set out for the
United States. On reaching New York
he began a search for his son, visiting
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington. Chi
cago, San Francisco, Baltimore. Atlanta
and New Orleans. At the latter place
all traces of the couple were lost The L
Count accordingly returned to VlennaJrf
The object of the gang In keeping father
and son apart will be easily appreciated
whan It is stated that the young Coast
Is an only son and legally entitled on tho
death of his father to at least oae-balf
of the letter's vast fortune. Accordisc
to the Hungarian laws he cannot ho des
lnherited, and Is, therefore, being per
suaded to discount his future iBheritaaco
at a ruinous rate by the gang.
