Commercial. —The genuine cost sale of McClure & Graham at the Trade Palace is in full blast and the people are taking advantage of it to the extent that their full force of clerks can scarcely wait on them.

A to a In id

At 8 o'clock on Thursday the fire department was called to officiate at afire in the residence of Tom Boraker on Spring street. The summer kitchen had taken fire and was burned smack, smooth off the rest of the house which was saved by the department. The destruction of the kitchen was very unfortunate as the ladies of the house were just preparing to execute their week's washing and had all the clothes heaped up in that room. They wore all of them burned too from Tom's dress ehirt down to the baby's summer socks. The kitchen was covered by insurance knee deep but the clothes will have to be charged up to profit and loss

Horse Sale Postponed.

Elijah Clore has indefinitely postponed his horse sale which was advertised to take place on the 15th of June on account of distemper among some of the animals. He has, however, consigned three fine bloodel animals to John Lackey at Cambridge City who has a sale on February 21—25. The three he has consigned are Lew Wallace, by Favorite Wilkes, record 2:24J his dam, young Fanny, by Sterling and a fast pacing mare, Flora C., record, 2:20.

He Looked Innooent.

"He looked like an innooent eort of a cuss," remarked Dan Warren last night in the police headquarters, "but I reckon he looks tolerably tony now in my Sunday clotheB."

Dave Warren is hostler for David Trout and has a cosy room fitted up in Mr. Trout's stable. Night before last he was conversing with a friend at Merrick & Darnall's barn when the aforementioned "innocent looking cuss" came in with a shiver that covered the window with frost and gave the honest watch dog, an ague fit. The innooent man told a tale which would move a heart as hard as peanut candy. He was working his way east. He had tried the wild and lanate West and bad well nigh starved. He wanted a sandwich and a place to sleep. He got both. Dave Warden took the viper to his bosom and kept him all night, giving him 75 cents and a chew of tobacco yesterday morning as a parting gift. But as the shades of last evening fell the innocent one entered Dave's room and kicked open his trunk. He took DaviB' $30 Sunday suit, his stop watch, his revolver and the photograph of Davis' best girl. Dave discovered the theft at 9 o'clock and indulged in an all night man hunt assisted by the police and a bevy of enthusiastic friends. Dave left for Frankfort and Lafayette this morning, intent on finding the ungrateful but innocent looking wretch. The thief was about 25 years old, weighed perhaps 138 pounds, and had a thin face adorned by a black mustache.

The Putnam County Wolf. A special from Greencastle says: "There was great rejoicing among the farmers of north Putnam county when it became known that the wolf which has so long terrified that section had been disposed of. His depredations extended over a period of two or three years, during which time numerous sheep folds and poultry yards were raided, and a handsome reward was finally offered for his capture. Children were frightened on their way to school, and dared not venture out at night through fear of the wild beast. Annual hunts were organized and participated in by hundreds of hunismen, and though seen by them, he aiways managed to break through the lines and easily distanced his pursuers. Yesterday the annual hunt was renewed and crowned with thfe long-looked for result. The wolf was discovered 2 miles west of Bainbridge. A shot from a Winchester rifle ended his wild career. He proved to be a full-grown timber wolf of the red-grey species, and weighed 00 pounds. Mr. Alf. McGoughey, of Russell township, ip the hero of the chase, and will bo paid the reward of §70 on deposit in the Central National Bank."

Everything Goes Down There. On Monday Cornelius Meagher resumed his position as superintendent of police after an absence of twenty-seven days from his office. The absence of Superintendent Meagher, it will be remembered, was caused by his suspension from duty by the board of police commissioners for thirty days, owiiig to his participation in a disgraceful escapade with a woman at Crawfordsville. The board consented to Superintendent Meagher resuming his office before the expiration of his sentence owing to the fact that Monday was the first day of the year.—Terre Haute Express.

From the above it in natural to infer that the indulgent board likewise presented as a Christmas present to the oily Con the salary for the 27 days he was off duty. Terre Haute is a great town and everything goes down there.

Diphtheria Raging.

Diphtheria is raging at Veedereburg and in a most malignant form. Several deaths have occurred this week, three in one family. The two boys and the girl of George Paugh, between the age of three and eight years, were all buried in one coffin Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Paugh is the blacksmith at Veedersburg and a most respectable citizen. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the entrance of the dreaded disease to this city. A number of neighboring places have Buffered terrible from the ravages in the last six months.

Still on the Kolls.

WASHINGTON', Dec. SC.—The report of Pension Commissioner Kamn, just published, reveals the startling fact that twenty widows of soldiers of the revolutionary war of 1776 still live and draw pensions. The youngest woman on the list is Mary Snead, now 76 years old, who therefore was not born until thirty-five years after the war. She is the widow of a veteran of the war of independence. ,,v

Dr. Brlggs Acquitted on All the Charges Against Him.

THE VOTE WAS CLOSE ON ONLY ONE.

This Was on tiie Question of Errors In the Bible—His Prosecutors Will Appeal tlie Case to the Gen•s eral Presbytery.

DR. BRIGQS WINS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 81.—The session of the New York presbytery, which is sitting as a court on the trial of Prof. Briggs, was begun promptly at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Each member was allowed three minutes in which to express his views.

The voting on tho first charge was begun at 4 o'clock and the vote on the sixth charge was completed and the presbytery adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock. The result of the several ballots was then announced to the reporters. The result was a great surprise, for on all of the six counts the vote was adverse to sustaining the charges.

How the Votes Stood.

On the first charge, accusing Prof. Briggs of teaching that the reason is a source of Divine authority, the vote was as follows: To sustain the charge, 60 against sustaining the charge, 68.

On the second charge, which accuses Prof. Briggs with charging that the church is a source of Divine authority, there were 55 votes in favor of sustaining the charge and 71 against.

The closest vote was on the third charge, that Prof. Briggs taught that the Scriptures contained errors of history and fact. On this charge the vote was as follows: To sustain the charge, 61 against, 68.

Aiiti-Jirigfrs Men I.cave.

x\fter this vote had been taken two or three of the anti-Briggs men left the court and others refrained from voting on the last three charges.

On the fourth charge, accusing Prof. Briggs with teaching that Moses was not the author of the pentateuch, the result was: To sustain the charges, 53 against, 72.

The vote on the fifth charge, accusing Prof. Briggs with teaching that Isaiah did not write many of the chapters in the book bearing his name was: In favor of sustaining the charge, 49 against, 70.

The vote on the sixth charge, accusing Prof. Briggs of teaching that sanctification is progressive after death, was as follows: To sustain the charge, 57 against, 69. "Will lie Appealed.

The case will be appealed to the general assembly, which will meet in Washington early in the spring. The assembly will appoint a commission consisting of fourteen unprejudiced members to act on the appeal.

The friends of Dr. Briggs were greatly pleased with the result. They had calculated on a majority ranging from four to six.

History of the Casn.

The movement against Dr. Brigpts practically took its rise January 20, 1891, when he was given the Edward Kemsinon chair of biblical theology in thn Union theological seminary. Tho alleged heretical doctrines he was accused of giving utterance to were culled from his inaugural address on that occasion. His address was soverely criticised by many Presbyterian ministers in New York and by numerous others attached to outside presbyteries. Several articles scoring him for the views expressed wero printed in religious journals. Demands vere also made upon the New York presbytery that summary measures of discipline be taken iu Dr Uriggs' case.

The friends of Dr. Briggs claimed that the real motive of the attack on him was to stop the movement in favor of the rovision of the creed. He had b*en one of tho foremost leaders of the revisionists in the previous general assembly. The anti-revisionists, it was claimed, thought that if they could get him turned out of tho seminary and then out of the church they could make an example of him that would scare others who held the same views and kill revip'on at one stroke. Tho New York presbytery May It!, 1891, and after a stormy debate resoi., that Dr. Hrisgs should be tried for heresy, and a committee was appointed to prefer formal charges.

The directors of tho Union theological seminary propounded questions to Dr. Briggs which he answered tc their satisfaction on May 20, 1891, and tbey decided to stand by him.

The presentation of the charges was made in June, 1891. At the meeting of the general assembly, held in Detroit, Mich., May 27, 1891, the committee on theological seminaries, to which the whole matter had been referred, presented its report condemning Dr. Briggs and advising that his appointment to the chair of biblical .theology In Union theological seminary be disapproved. After two lengthy conferences by tho committee of fifteen, appointed by the Presbyterian general assembly of Detroit and the directors of tho seminary as to tho removal of Dr. Briggs from his chair, held February 11, 1892, they adjourned without coming to any satisfactory understanding.

Dr. Briggs was arraigned before the New York Jpresbytery November 15,1891, and it was voted to dismiss the charges against him without trial.

His prosecutors appealed from this decision to the next meeting of the general assembly at Portland, Ore., May 30, 1892. Dr. Briggs argued his case but the case was sent back to the presbytery for trial,

A SENSATION.

A Nine Days' Wonder In a Small Town.

Pacts and Details from our Own Correspondent.

Surprised Many Bui Does not Surprise Us.

Mansfield, Ohio, is not a large place, but it has oertainly experienced a great sensation.

The people are not done talking about it yet, and indeed it will furnish the Bubject for conversation for a long time to come, as well as food for thought.

Our correspondent, 0. 0. Coulter, who is a prominent and influential citizen of Mansfield and agent for the Bockford (III.) Silver Plate Co., has furnished us with

faotB

and details, which we are pos

itive will prove most interesting to our readers. "I have a brother, Harry E. Coulter, 21 years of age," writes Mr. Coulter, "who had newer done a day's work in his life never ran a rod in his life—indeed could not even walk fast. "Heart disease was his trouble. Last fall he the Grip and went down, down, down. "Two of our best physicians treated him. "His tongue was coated badly, had bachache, urine high-colored, brick dust sediment—worst ever saw. "His efcomaoh was almost as hard aB a board, in fact, we gave up all hopes of his life. "He quit the doctors and commenced using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and nothing else, and the third day was better. He is now better than he over was in his life, can run and do violent exorcise and not suffer the least.

We do not wonder that this remarkable restoration to health is looked upon as aimost as almost a miracle in Mansfield, where, perhaps, the marvelous virtues of these remedy were until now not known, but the cure does not surprise us in the least, for it is something which is taking place constantly in our vicinity, no day, scarcely an hour, in fact, passing in which we do not learn of it curing some one who has been suffering from nervous weakness, blood disorder, kidney or liver complaints, insomnia, malaria or stomach trouble. It is a fact that this wonderful medicine cures the sick, and it is perfectly harmless to use, being purely vegetable. DruggiBts keep it for $1.

It is the disoovery and prescription of Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th Street, New York, the famous specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, who has the largest practice among the sick of any physician in the United States, and who can be consulted free personally or by letter.

"He says he never felt better in his life, in fact this wonderful medicine, he tells me, saved his life, "He coaxed to take this remedy, and I was troubled something as he had been, only my heart is all right. I had been doctoring since last fall to clear up my system, but without beneficial results. I have now only two bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and feel like a new man. In fact, I am well, and 1 write this because I feel so grateful to the remedy for saving my brother's life and my health. "This is the greatest medicine I ever heard of, and I am sure that if you knew my brother's condition before he commenced the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, the cure would mveh surprise you."
