DECORATION DAI AT LINDEN..

A Big Orowd, a Big Sermon, a Big Speech and a Good Patriotic Feelmg. Memorial sermon was preached by Rev. Rev. Robert Harris, of Urbana, 111., pastor of the Christian church at Linden. Long before half past ten the house was fiilled beyond seating capacity, except the reserved seats for the soldiers and Sons of Veterans who were ushed in by the choir singing "God Save Our Rescued Land," with a zeal that caused every heart to beat with patriotic emotion. The services were opened by the choir singing an anthem, "Blessed Be the Dead that Die in the Lord," was sang in such a soft melody as to put a solemn expression upon the countenances of all present. Invocation by Rev. T. C. Shanklin was followed by a song by the choir and the speaker aroBe and began his address by a sort of preface that opened the way for the most powerful and eloquent memorial sermon to which the people of Linden ever listened. At least those who ought to be good judges say it would have done honor to Henry Ward Beecher in his day or Dr. Talmuge of to-day. The beauties of the sermon were the practical lessons that were brought out of the history of this and other nations. Also his powerful argument against desecration of the Sabbath day and his appeal to all liberty loving people to keep it holy. At two p. m. the G. A. R., S. of V. and the I. O. O. F. marched from the Odd Fellows hall and were led by the New Richmond band to the Christian church where they again found a crowd ed house and more people outside the house than in. After some excellent music by the choir and the band played "Nearer My God to Thee" they were ably addressed by J. W. Dudley on the subject of decorating the graves of our nation's dead. At three o'clock the G. A. R., S. of Y. and Odd Fellows led by the band headed for the cemetery followed by one hundred and seven buggies and two hacks. When they reached the cemetery they found not less than one hundred pedestrians waiting. Here the Nation's emblem was planted on each graye of her departed heroes. Flags and flowers told of love of country love for those who saved it and a promise to cherish and maintain it. Not less than four hundred persons were on the cemetery grounds.

Ouuniueham Still Hopeful.

Indianapolis News:—Con Cunning ham, of Orawfordsville, is here to day. He came over just to give his friends the benefit of his presence, and there is not, he says, the least bit of folitica) significance attached to his visit. Mr. Cunningham was one of the faithful who went to Washington after an office —consul to Belfast, Ireland—but he is not proud and is willing to take some other position. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, MR Cunningham has not retired from the race. "I havn't been at Washington for three weeks,but I am still in the fight, and think my chances are as good as any one's else. In fact they area little better, I think, and I feel certain I shall receive an appointment. We must watch and wait, you know."

The Orop Outlook.

The crop outlook issued by Prof.Huston from the Indiana weather service, says: Cool weather with rainfall anu sunshine below normal in

sections

was favorable to plowing and planting corn and beneficial to all growing crops which are in fine and promising condition. Wheat is heading everywhere early planted corn is coming up and some fields have been plowed once. Much plowing and planting was done and nearly all is done in some localities, while in others many fields remain yet to be planted. The apple crop seemB to be very promising, but other fruit is apparently abundant in some localities.

Orawfordsville Painters.

Joe Naylor, our former fellow citizen, is coioing money in Chicago as a contractor for painting and paper hanging. Besides his immense business in Chicago he has taken big contracts in Montreal and other cities. He has fifteen Orawfordsville painters at work for bim among them being Charley Huffman, Kent Wise, John Winter, Frank McNeely and Will Guntle. Joe still has a warm place in his heart for Orawfordsville.

FOUND GUILTY.

Dr. Briggs Convicted of the Charge of Heresy.

ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The Appeal from the Verdict of Acquittal Sustained by a Vote of 383 to 11G —A Committee to Fix the Penalty.

WENT AGAINST HKIOOS.

WASHINGTON, June 1.—Another step has been made by the general assembly in convicting' Prof. Briggs of heresy. Late Wednesday night it sustained the appeal from the New York presbytery by the following vote: To snstain, 208 to sustain in part, 85 total, 383 not to sustain, 11(5. The action of the assembly was reached after many weary hours had been taken up by the commissioners in explaining the reasons which would govern their votes.

Status of the Case*

The status of the case may he explained in this way: The New York Presbytery acquitted Prof. J'.riggs of various charges. An appeal was taken against that acquittal to the general assembly. The general assembly first

PROF. BRIGGS.

decided that it would entertain the appeal regardless of the fact that the appeal was taken over the head of the New York synod. Having entertained the appeal it has been listening to arguments by the prosecuting committee and by Dr. 13riggs in his own defense. Wednesday night it voted viva voce on the various specifications of error alleged against the New York presbytery and upheld all but two which were unimportant as affecting the main question. Then on a roll call it sustained the appeal as a whole with the two exceptions.

To Fix a Penalty.

Practically this amounts to a condemnation of Prof. Briggson all the charges brought against him. Actually, however, this condemnation is not to come. Under the ecclesiastical procedure the moderator was instructed to appoint a committee which shall report to the assembly the forms to be followed. The New York presbytery acquitted Dr. Briggs. The action of the assembly in sustaining the appeal from that acquittal is not a formal reversal. The committee named by the moderator will report the method of giving effect to the judgment which the assembly has rendered in sustaining the appeal. It may report a modification of the New York presbyter's action, which will not amount to the expulsion of Prof. Briggs. The belief is that the committee will report in favor of suspension, which is almost the same thing. Then the question will come about the legal relations of Union seminary and Prof. Briggs to the Presbyterian church.

WORK OF A CYCLONE.

Town or Hosedale, Miss., Wiped Out—Five I'cople Reported Killed. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June l.—A cyclone Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock struck Rosedale, Miss., 115 miles south of this city, completely demolishing the town. All wires were prostrated. Five people are reported killed.
