The Presbyterian general assembly s adopted the recommendation of 0 judicial committee that the six mplalnts against the Now York nod , growing out of the Brlggs trial , 1 referred to the judicial committee for ial. It also adopted , without jtsscnt , the recommendations on Icrturcs from the presbyteries jnccrning appeals from presbyteries [ reel to the general assembly , that such ap- rals are proper as to nil matters relating to jo polity of the church , but nn overture Bom n presbytery as to a pending judicial Ase811011 as that of Prof. Briggs.Tulvising 410 general assembly ns to what action it giould take in such cases , Is Irregular and Biprccodentcd In ecclesiastical procedure Kid that the proper way for presbyteries to jllucni'o pending cases is through their re- Jioclivo commissioners on the Iloor of the fjneral assembly. j The assembly passed a resolution declaring Uo World's fair grounds to bo merely a tended warehouse , and appointed a commit tee to wait on Secretary Carlisle to ask him lo treat It as such and close it on Sunday as Ml other bonded warehouses aro. Customs rtfllellUs , however , say this is impossible , as there is no way in which the exposition lbulldings containing bonded exhibits could Ibo closed like a bonded warehouse except [ by placing a lock on them. I At the opening of the afternoon session hf tlio general assembly , Dr. Craig stated that the committee appointed to visit At torney'General Olney had done so during the noon recess , and had to report that the . ommittco was most courteously received by the attorney general , who assured the com mittee thai hlmselt nnd the district attor ney in Chicago , who wns in this city yes terday , were watching the Sunday closing latter with the greatest care , In order to eo to it that , the United States laws should [ 10 strictly enforced regarding the closing of ho fair gates on Sunday ; and he desired I lie committee to say to the assembly that lie government would take proper measures 6r the protection of its rights. The an- ounccmcnt was received with a round of pplause. Dr. Ilrlgcs Itcsumcs. Prof. Briggs resumed his speech in defense f the action of the New York presbytery in its case and in opposition to entertaining the ppeal therefrom. The distinguished doctor went over the vholo report of the proceedings leading up o his trial by the Now York presbytery nnd | f the trial itself , pointing out where points If law and fact had all been in his favor and llso pointing out where rulings had been Jade unfairly against him. [ As a rule the church docs not allow the Jodorator to decide constitutional questions , lie moderator of the Now York presbytery 1'cidcd such n question ono of the most ital in this whole case against defendant , Klliout giving him an opportunity to debate lie question. The question was ns to Ihothcr the so-called prosecuting com- Iltteo was an original party to this Iso or not and when the moderator Icldcd it in the affirmative in the If nil-and overbearing manner stated , the [ frndant curried his wrongs to the .synod of Lw York and appealed from the decision. { Until that appeal has been passed upon lo general assembly has no right whatever } consider this caso. The committee having itermlncd to continue the prosecution of Ids case in opposition to the expressed desires f the Now York presbytery , they say that licy net Independently and as the roprcscn- Itlvcs of tlio Prcsbvterian church of the Jnlted States of America. Is it not gratify- Iig , Dr. Briggs nsltcd , that there should bo It least a few members of the Now Yorlc Iresbytery who are determined to stand by fho old faith against the majority of their lollcagucs. The general assembly cannot take this aso under consideration. The matter is In iio hands of the synod of New York. That ynod has thrown its shield over the defend- nt and will protect not only him , but Its \vn rights of hearing the case , or having Its urlsdlctlon interfered with rashly by the as- ombly , Ku I'rerndout for the Appeal. There was no precedent whatever , he said , or the synod to appeal the cas > o from ac- lulttal. It was also bad policy for the hurch to have Intervening courts over- oaped. If the largest synod , that of Now fork , should thus bo overleaped Iu the effort o bring the case of Dr. Briggs to a speedy oneluston , what is t hero to urovcnttheovcr- eanlntr of any other synod to batlsfy the imbltiou of some other aspirin ; prosecutor ! f the assembly entertains this appeal the lory of the synods will have departed and , hose who succeeded in breaking down ircccdcnt will drlvo a coach and four hrough the broaches In the palace of jus- .4eo , The commissioners to the general Assembly had no right to entertain this appeal , < Before the decision could bo made , con- Untied Mr. Drlcgs , it would bo neccssarv 11In the Interests of common scnso and common justice to have the Interlocutory appeals passed upon.

Hero in the capital of the nation an attempt U to bo mndo to overrldo some of the commonest principles of luw in order to gratify the vain ambition of these prose cutors , The flfth branch of the doctor's argument dealt with thu reasons given by' the prose cuting commit tee for doing so many and ( to great wrongs , for incurring so great perils nnd establishing such hurtful precedents. If they want to promote ruin in the church and bring about chaos , surely they should have - good reasons. Tlioso reasons have taken only a half hour to describe. The members of this committee say that in continuing teen nrosecuto the defendant after ho has been acquitted thay uro friendly to him.

Ho- fore setting up that claim they ought to wait until they iccuro recognition from that synod Mid get n commission from it. Why should the case of Dr. Briggs bo made so prominent and pushed to the front as the most Important ecclesiastical discussion In the closing dccadoof the nineteenth century. They say that It Is n case of vital import ance. Ho , the speaker , thought they exag gerated its importance , and ho had always thought so. C'oncliulnii of Dr. ItrlRgs' Addrcin. After recess Dr. Bripgs spoke bitterly nbmit the omission from the brief of the prosecution of questions put to him to test his faith and the answers thereto. What right had thcso appellants to omit such mat ters ns they pleased from official or semi official documents ? Ho wished to make explicit denial of 'tho ctiargo that ho had preached doctrines against i the fundamental doctrines of the church. "I affirm that I believe , " ho said , turning with outstretched hands to the audience , "tho holy scriptures to bo the work of God. " Dr. Briggs closed with an appeal that the case might go to the synod ot > icw York. If that \\ns done ho uould aid In the full solu- lion of the case , nnd then , if it ucro sent back to the next general assembly , ho would abldo by its decision , whatever it mloht bo. Ho regretted if ho had said anything that caused trouble In the church. Ilo had tnueht for twenty years at the Union Theological seminary , and of all the persons that had been taught by him ho challenged any of them to say that ho had taught them any thing that Interfered with a true discharge of their holy duties. Dr. Briggs concluded his address at 3:10 : o'clock. As ho took his scat a wave of applause ran ever the rear of the church , which evoked nn indignant robulio from the moderator. Ciilnnnl Mc(7ook' Argument. Then Colonel McCook began the closing argument for the prosecuting committee in support of the recommendation that the ap peal be entertained. Almost at the opening Dr. Briggs interrupted to correct what he claimed was a mlsstatcmcnt. Moderator Craig said to Dr. Briggs that ho hid been allowed four and a half hours without interruption ; that McCook beard him through without objection , and that Dr. Briggs should allow McCook to go on the satno way. The history of the case was recited by Colonel MeCook and the regularity of several steps fairly maintained. Colonel McCook said : "Great weight has been given to the technical ques tions raised in the interest of ap pellee based upon the clause in the fifth amendment to the constitution of the United States , that no person shall bo subject for the same offcnso to boitwlco put In Jeopardy of llfo and limb. It has been Ingeniously claimed that an appeal from the Now Yorlc presbytery would the ' ' place appellee's 'eccle siastical llfo' in Jeopardy. Appropriateuseof | the trrm 'ecclesiastical llfo' seems to have confused the minds of some. Tlioso nro not criminal proceedings ; they are to enforce a contract , or rather determine whether the contract has been maintained in all its in tegrity. " On the Jtlffht of Appenl. At the evening session Colonel McCook considered the Dlea that an acquittal by a lower court bars the right of appeal and asserted that such claim was not true in fact nor sound in law ; also that it was regular for appeals to bo taken from a presbytery to the general assembly. In conclusion General McCook gave the reasons why the appeal should bo entertained as resolved by the committee. Among other thimis , It is linperltativcly necessary that a final decision bo reached at the earliest possiblo'dato , as great and widespread Injury is certain to como from protracted delay. If the doctrines presented by Dr. Briggs bo erroneous , as the committee believes , then through delay "heretical opinions" are sure to .gain ground and the church bo affected injuriously through the continuance of un certainty nnd doubt. General McCook spoke for nn hour , closing a fewminutos after 1) o'clock. The assembly then adjourned until tomorrow morning at ( J'i : ( ) o'clock , at which time tlio Briggs case will again have the right of way until con cluded. MAl'TJST 1'DIU.ICATION SOCIKTY. Ilov.

HISTORY OF THE NEISE CASE Generally Believed that Ho Murdered His Wife nnd Baby , RESTS ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Simpleton Directed Townril tbo Accused by thn Chllilliili frattlo of Mil Llltlo ( ilrl Dntnlbi of the llorrlbln Caso. OTTCMWI , la. , May 25. [ Special to Tun BEE. ] People of Ottumwa are wondering what will bo the outcome of the trial of Adolph Neiso , who has now been before the court eleven days. Neiso is charged with . the murder of his wife and infant child , and il convicted will doubtless suffer the death penalty. 1 It is quite likely the case will consume - sumo another week's tlmo before the Jury will have delivered Into its hand the fate of a man who , by public consent , is one of the | most villainous of cold-blooded murderers. In respect to the amount of time required for the hearing of this case it will nearest np- proacn the celebrated Picas Anderson trial , which consumed three weeks. If the jury shall dccldo that Neiso Is guilty nnd fix his punishment at hanging , it will be the llrst execution In this county since 13cn McComb wns hung In 1SC5. On tlio 29th of June , 18T5 , a mob took John Scott Smith from the ofllccrs and hanged him to a lamp post In front of the city hall about 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Smith had deliberately shot and killed Policeman Albert Logan the night before. The lamp post still stands in front of the city building , a silent testimonial of the power of the pee ple's wrath. At the time of the lynching there was no law on the Iowa statute book providing foit- the death penalty , nnd tills case was used ns an argument for the passage - sago of the law as it now stands. It gives the Jury discretion to make the penalty hanging or imprisonment for life. McComb was nantfed for the murder of a man named Lawrence and ills afllancod wife , Laura Harvey. The trio came to Wapello county from Hockford , 111. , early in 18CO , looking lor a claim. They stopped one night in Ottumwa. putting up with "Uncle" Johnny Potter , father of Tom Potter of railroad fame. A day or two after the body of Laura Harvey was found in a gully below town , and the body of Lawrence was found in the river. McComb escaped to Uoclcford , and from there went into the army , where he was charged with committing other murders , notably ono to which ho subsequently confessed , that of killinc ; a companion in a boat during the slego of Vicksburg. The victim recogni/.cd McComb as an escaped criminal , and the latter hit him over the head with an oar , and throivinghim into the water , held him under till he drowned. A f ter the war McComb re turned to Davenport , was recognized , tried and convicted , but the evidence- against him was purely circumstantial. Ho escaped from the Jail by bribing the young son of Sheriff Derby to give him the keys , was re captured after a short liberty , was taken out by n mob to bo lynched , anil was finally hanged in the jail corridor. Of nil the many murders committed In Wapello county this is the only one in which the death pen alty was over legally carried out. As to llio Uvldenco Against Xclne. Against Neiso there is little direct evi dence. While there Is llttlo doubt in the mind of the public as to his guilt , the state is put to considerable trouble to llnd any thing sufficiently direct to warrant convic tion. But the chain of circumstantial evi dence against him is very strong. That ho is guilty there seems to bo llttlo doubt in the mind of the general public. To establish the proof is another matter. It was about 1 o'clock ou the morning of Feb ruary 22 of this year that Nelse , with his three children Harry , aged U , Minnie , 7 , and Adolph , 4 applied for admission at the house of a neighbor , Mrs. Pease , Neiso said that his house was burning , and get ting the children under shelter ho returned to the lire. The public sympathized with him , but before night the children had made such n terrible revelation that ho was placed in Jail and had to bo spirited from the city to escape a mob. When Nclsc came to Mrs. Pease's house lie had on his clothes , and particularly noticeable were his over shoes. Ho carried with him a tin box , which contained all his insurance papers , and especially the policy of $5,000 on his wife's life. This box , for some reason , had been placed conveniently on the center table for speedy departure. In a smoke house was found a number of trunks , con taining all the valuable Jewelry nnd clothing of his wife and her sister , Miss Hattie Faulz , who. the state alleges , is the cause of the unhappy affair. A good portion of the furmturo was saved , so that the Insur ance would amply repay Noise's financial losses. it only took the childish prattle ot the little girl and her youngest brother to arouse suspicion and formulate a solution of the preservation of tlio tin box and the presence of the valuables in the smoke house. The childish prattle was to the ef fect that Neiso had shown more attention to their Aunt Hattie since she came from Germany than to their mother ; that the fattier had told them that if the house should burn down and their main- | ma should burn up they would have a now mamma , and the life Insurance on their dead mamma would build them a now house. Harry told the coroner's jury , and repeated in substance the same story to the grand Jury , that when they awoke nnd saw smoke In the room their father told them to Ho down and cover up their heads. Then ho nnd his sister Mlunlo followed tliclr father Into the wife's room and saw the Ilaincs just beginning to feed upon her body ; that the car pet was saturated witli something that looked Ilka oil or water , and that tliclr father mndo no effort whatever to rescue their mother. The boy's testimony , if corrob orated , would convict any man of deliberate murder. Added to this , the children uro al leged to have said that they heard their father whipping their mother and hoard the mother beg him to spare her life for the sake of her child. Woman In the Cn > o. The woman in the case is Hattie Faulz , a buxom German girl , who has charms enough to turn the head of many an Illiter ate person. She is of the blonde German type of beauty , with shapely form uiid win ning manners. Her trunlcs revealed the fact that she had an abundance of line clothing , and she Is said to bo comparatively well educated. She came to this country last August , and was welcomed by her sis. tcr , Mrs , Nelse. Soon Adolph showed un mistakable signs of Infatuation , Ho bought n pnll of occr on Sundays , it is alleged , and drank it with Hattie , and when his wife ob jected she was beaten. Ho found tlmo to spend n portion of his nvcnlngs with her , Finally the wife ordered her to leave- the premises , and a few days later she was a mass of charred remains. This same woman seems to have thwarted the state in its best evidence. Up till n month ago Hurry and the children adhered to the story they llrst told. Then Hattie gathered them in at the Bee Hive restaurant , and has kept them there ever since. She has kept them there nt the expense of their father. Since then a change has como over the spirit of their dream. They have dis covered they wcro mistaken as to what they testified to before the grand lury. They have discovered they were told all these stories by troublesome neighbors. Hattie has evidently done her work well , for Harry has repudiated all his former stories and has studiously adhered to one'of utter denial of all that he formerly said. All the shrewd cross-questioning of the attorneys could not drive him from the latter position. Some Uipert Testimony. When the body of Mrs. Neiso was found j , there was at the base of her brain a tablespoonful ! spoonful of dry blood. Her lung * wcro exam ined by a medical expert. There wore no signs of asphyxiation , This fact brought out an unusual nmotint ot expert testimony and all the medical , .fraternity in the city had n hand. The itnto succeeded In getting a consensus of opinion in n hy | > othctlcal question , to the effect that the presence of blood In that place- arid condition Indicated violcnco before ilonth and that the woman could not have been1 asphyxiated. The testi mony of tlio first man at the fire , Gurloy Baker , was very black ngainst Neiso. Ho testified that Neiso made no effort whatever to rescue his wife but turned hlsnttcntion to rescuing the household goods. Various wit nesses testified to Noise's cruelty to his fam ily.Tho The disposition nnd physiognomy of Neiso is against him. Hols a worshiper of money nnd avarice is n chlyf part of his creed. Ho has worked unceasingly for gold and has ac cumulated considerable property. His face is n study. His eyes are a watery green and perfectly expressionless. Ills forehead slopes quickly back nnd docs not Indicate the shrewdness and cunning of the man. The front portion of his head Is inclined to baldness. Ho has n most plausible way ot explaining everything , ami his attorneys nro the best in the city , so that n strong line of defense will undoubtedly bo constructed. The woman for whoso alleged murder ho is now being tried was a second wife , a Ger man woman who acted as nurse for his llrst wife. The state rested today and the de fense will examine at least fifty witnesses before the case is argued before the Jury. It Is eliciting the greatest interest nnd the court room is crowded dally. * Fitoat THE aonsmiMissi's Victory oT tlio NIcnrnKii.in IlnvolullonlsU Snld to Uo of Nocntlvo Value. | Coj > i/rf9/icit / ( tS33bu .Jama Gordon llcnntt\ \ SAN JUAN nnt.

The hall was profusely and tastefully d1"- oratcd with Hags and bunting , festoons of star-dotted tricolor extending entirely around the gallery balustrade and ending in graceful folds aboyo an immense banner on which appeared the national coat of arms. Beneath was a largo painting ot General Sherman , thu committee on decoration be lieving that in placing it there they were not only honoring both father nnd son. but ap propriately placing before the public garo on this occasion the well known likeness of ono whoso Americanism and loyalty were never called in question. Prominent People Present. Conspicuously predominating in all parts of the hall wcro the familiar buttons of the Grand Army nnd Loyal Legion , while the regular rf army was represented on the plat form in the persons of General Brooke and Colonel M. Sheridan , the former occupying the scat at the loft of the speaker's chair. On Ills right was Mayor Bemis , and seated among others on the platform were Judge L. Wakeloy , Henry W. Yatcs , Edward Itose- water , Thomas Swobe. Major J. B. Furay , George E. Pritchott , Major J. W. Paddock , Dr. Coffman. George Barker , John Hush , Captain II. 1C.

Stone , llev. John Williams , Lcavitt Burnham. .ludgo Estellc , D. J. O'Douahue , John Patrick , J. A. McShaua and vf. N. H. Patrick. There were many ladies in bright costume , and the occasion in its entirety was on& to move a speaker to his best efforts , ns the audience - dienco seemed heartily in accord with the- sentiment expressed and was not at all chary with its applause. Father Slicrinnn' * Appearance. At tho.right of the platform the Second Infantry band was stationed. It opened the program with nn overture , which was fol lowed a moment later by "Marching Thro' Georgia , " as Father Sherman advanced to the front of the stage. His is a somewhat striking figure , oven when clad in the con ventional garb of the clergyman a medium build , inclining somewhat to spareness , no ticeably erect and with a somewhat military bearing. The chin at once suggests aggres siveness and determination , and the nose be trays the Sherman , but the eye , though bright and clear , brings no reproduction of that Intensely piercing glance that charac terized "Old Tccumsoh. " Still the family features are there , and in born fight , ready resentment and aggressiveness stamp the educated priest as a natural soldier. It wcro easier to Imagine there tlio quick return of blow for blow than the passive turning of a cheek to receive the mate to the blow upon its fel low. Father Sherman speaks somewhat rapidly , nnd with all tlio lire and energy of youth and perfect health. His diction and delivery savor moro of the political stump than of the pulpit. There is something mag netic In that superabundant power and en ergy , and It held that great audience last night until the closo. Father Sherman's Speech. Father Sherman spoke In part , as follows ; "When the last spike was driven In the Union Pacific railway , and that vast work was accomplished , there was u setting nt rest , forever , of something of a national dread lest , perchance , the Pacific coast might endeavor to imltato the south and , with bettor success , seek to form an independent empire. My father , I am proud to say , was among the llrst to encourage that great cntcrprlso. Ho was then a California banker and ho materially assisted in seeing this great iron link between the cast and west become u riveted reality , "Tho fears of Callfornlan Independence wcro well founded. If you remember , Call- foinla would not accept our paper money before this railroad was completed , but the achievement of this grand enterprise gave relief. That danger was obviated. "It is but natural that hero on the western shore of the Missouri river , at the terminus of that transcontinental railroad , a thriving metropolis should rest forovcr , to mark the in terest of that mighty achievement in rail road building. That metropolis is Omaha , and it has every indication of permanent prosperity. But , at this moment a slight cloud hangs over Omaha. It is the cloud of religious war. On the fourth of July last , there congregated in this city , in this very hall , men and women who listened to socialistic doctrines which , if carried out , would rend the ties of the nation , of homo , of hearthstone and of God , In a moment of enthusiasm , carried away by some clover speaker , many people mfplit bo deceived by the blUzards of abuse , misrepresentation nnd malicious calumny that those speakers might use against the Hornan Catholic church , and these people might applaud such dootrlno , applaud incitement to an infringement of the reliclous liberty of Americans , "As I gaze about mo. hero tonight , nnd see oo many intelligent races I am convinced that the people that I now see before mo did not constitute the audience upon that oeca Eton , last July.

There was soon a change of sentiment. 'ho people were convinced that there was 10 danger from the papal power. The papal jowcr is a spiritual power and not a pollti- al power.
