In tho building towards their snperior officer. Colonel Ainaworth. "That ot object i Xear." answered Mr. Thompson, impressively. A buzz and shifting of chairs followed; then a slight elapsing of hands. A lieutenant of polico present held ap his hands to stop the attempt at applause, but he was too late. A burst of handclapping followed that lasted a quarter of a minute. It came from a portion of the room where clerks wero sitting. Dr. Mchaetler looked astonished. Colonel Ainaworth grew red. Dr. EchaefTer then arose, and difivered a lecture to the ollenders, after which the hearIn i proceeded. Mr. Warner said he had asked the question because there seemed to be a belief that the feeling existing between Colonel Ainaworth. and every man in the oflice was luch that had they made a suggestion as to the safety of tho building, is would have Jeopardized their positions. Mr. Warner a-ked If then was such a feeling of feur that the clerks were afraid to inak suggestions as to the dangerous condition ot the building. "It was, Mr. Warner; emphatically, it was." was the answer. Mr. Thompson was qnestioned further about this feeling, and he said it extended to Jnoob Freeh. "Colonel Ainsworth'a right bower, and the chronic pessimist of Washington." and to Mr. O'Brown, chief clerk of the buildtno. Jefferson W. Clark, a clerk on the third floor of the wrecked building, took the tana, bat before he began his testimony Dr. fccbaefTer read a letter from Attorneygeneral Olney. tendering the service of an assistant to give professional advice in conducting the inquiry. This ofler was declined, becauee the district attorney had already made the same otter. NEED NOT FEAR 1IMISSAL. Another letter to the coroner created a buzz. It was from Secretary of War Laxnont, and read as follows: In the matter of the investigation-now in prunes befor the coroner's jury In regard to the loss of lifo on juuei, lS'.UJ, at the Tenthstreet building which was occupied by the Record aud i'enniou Olhce of tho War Department, tho department J Informed tnat apprehension exists union x the department employe that they may jeopardize their positions by testifying before "the. jury. It eeeniH hardly necessary for mo to say that such apprehension is entirely crouml- !, but to allay any such fear as may exist I be to inform you tirut no employe of the department will endanger his position in any way on account of any audi testimony &ivcn before the torouer'a jury in this case. Mr. Carter was asked by Mr. Warner about the feeling between Colonel Ainsworth and his clerks, but Dr. chaeller interrupted, saying that-the investigation must ho confined to tho cause of the calamity. Mr. Warm r replied with some feeling that tt 'jreat many extraneous subjects hl been introduced and some of them had showed a bitter feeling against Colonel Aiusworth. lie thought he had a right to usk this question in order to satiety his mind whether there was or was not auy, prejudice ou the part of witnesses that would cause them to do injustice to officers Ot the government. Alter this Hurry had passed over Mr. Carter said lti answer to a question that there hud been a common rumor among the clerks that the building was inseonre. He bad heard casual comments about the insecurity ot the building whilo the excavation was being made, and ouly the other dayJune o or 4 William, bchrieher, who was killed in the disaster, said to him. pointing to the excHvation: 'Carter. 1 see they are digging your grave." Doth Schrieberand Mutleuy, who were killed, had frequently ttpoken to him about the dangerous condition of the building. At this point a revess Was tuken. The lirst witness at the afternoon session was David H. 1. Drown, a third-iloor clerk, who said that since Jan. 6. ltl'3, he had heard the building was ensafe. lie had teen instructed to go carefully up and ' down the stairway in the theater bnilding pearly every atternoon by a messenger tailed "Sergeant. AFKAID OF FRKICH. Mr.- Drown was asked if there was any fear on the part of the clerks that they would be disturbed if they protested against remaining in tho building. "Yes, air," he answered, and then quickly added: "1 decline to answer that question." 'On what grounds do yon decline to answer?" asked Di. Schaefler. "On tho grcund of my owu position." "Did too hear the letter of tho Secretary of War read, promising protection to clerks Who testified!" "Yea. sir," was the answer. "I do not fear Colonel Ainaworth, for he has done mo two favors, but 1 do fear Mr. ir'reicb." (Whom Mr. Thompson called Colonel Ainsworth's right bower.) Mr. Drown finally decided to answer the original question. He said there was much feeling about the insecurity of the building, and a great many clerks, himself among them, would have protested, if they had had courage to do so. against being kept in the old theater. "What had the clerks to apprehend!' was asked. Discharge' said Mr. Drown. J. b. Smith, a lirst-tioor clerk, testified that any feeling that had been developed

was not. directed to Colonel Ainsworth. but ! to other ollicials, particularly Jacoo Freicn., The talk against Colonel Ainsworth had been confined to a few old soreheads. James A. Long, another clerk, said he felt insecure during the work of excavation, and had spoken to several clerks about it, who had assured him there was so danger. It was explained to him that the reason the space on the tirst floor was roped otl was because the floor boards had no supports beneath them. Dut Mr. Long could not down his tears, so he secured leave of absence while the excavation was f;oing on. and apDhed for insurance on his ife. Examined by a juror, Mr. Long said bit belief in the insecurity of the bnilding had tirst caused him to think of Insuring bis lifo. lie had bseu warned against run Ding np the stairs. Albert X. Crosby, a third-tloor clerk, was , not allowed to finish his testimony. While be was being examined a man walked slowly to n place behina Col. Ainsworth'a chair ana said something in such aloud oice that it brought a warning "sb-h" from some of those presont. Dut the man was not to be nusned. lie stepped forward, and, standing directly over Colonel Ainsworth. criod in a voice trembling with passion: You murdered my brother and I'd like to know what right you have to sit here and intimidate witnesses." There was a moment's silence after this passionate outburst and then a wild shout of approval. Colonel Ainsworth sat calmly In his chair. Lieutenant Amis-, of the police foroe. walked over to the disturber and pushed him Toward a doorway. "Who is hef" was asked of some one. His name is Charles U. Danes, whose brother was killed," was the answer from a dozen clerks. Danes is a real-estate agent. The shouts of the government clerks present continued, "That's right, he did it." 'put him out," wero the indorsements ot the accusation of Danes, domo men were on their feet, and it looked for a minute that Colonel Ainsworth was in danger. Hut sharp words from the polico lieutenant finally brought quiet. A HINT TO AINSWORTH. before the witness was allowed to proceed Mr. D. H. Warner, one of the jcrors, tmd a wealthy citizen of Washington, suggested to the coroner that the episode that bad just occurred showed the existencoof a feeling that conld best b9 silenced by the withdrawal of the party against whom St was directed. "1 mention no names," said Mr. Warnex. "but simply make ths suggestion that the party most concerned should withdraw. There is a belief among many of those here that his prrsence serves a an intimidation to witnesses. There is a feeling here, which does not brealc out but which is nevertheless present, that intimidation is being carried on, and J, therefore, objeot to the presence of any pertton who is likely to be blamed for participation in this atlair." Loud applause followed Mr. Warner's remarks, and Dr. Schaefier whispered a request to Colonel Ainsworth to withdraw. He refused to do so. however, und the coroner, turning to the jury, said he had no right to exclude from the hearing any person who was likely to be a party to tho verdict. Juror llauvey said he had been told by half a dozen clerks that they had been afraid to testify, and would have refused to do so but for the letter of tho Secretary of War. Mr. Kcss Terry, as repreHeutative of Col. Ainsworth, aroco to make some remarks on the subject, and his first word was a signal for tl.H moHt exciting incident of the day. butler r itch, an old white-haired clerk of the record and pension division, started the trouble. "tilt down' bo shouted, "you are au out

sider and have no right here. I protest against an outsider speaking here." "Sit down, ait down," echoed his fellowclerks in voices that were not restrained. Fitoh cried out something about "murder," and his words were echoed from every part of the hall. Kecord and pension division clerks were on their feet trying to make speeohes. as though a public meeting was being held. All this time Mr. 1'erry stood immovable, and when the uproar was quieted somewhathe appealed totbe crowd to let him speak. "I appeal toyou as American citizens for fair play," be cried. "You did not give us fair play," yelled an excited individual. Old Dutler Fitch keptcrying, "no intimidation." Morgan Spencer, of Bridgeport, 4kla., another government clerk, called out at Col. Ainsworth: "Vou should be arrested for murder and not released on bail." "HANG HIM?" THKV CKIKD. Here the tempest broke in its full fury. "Hang him!" was shouted from a dozen throats. Every man in the spectators' seats rose at the cry. "Hang him!" "hang. him!" was repeated in loud tones. Colonel Ainsworth sat cool and collected. Somebody said, after the uproar was over, that his hand moved to his inside coat pocket aud remained there. His features seemed absolutely immovable. There was the faintest suggestion of a smile on his lips. ' Mr. Perry remained standing, but made no attempt to quell the mob. for it had grown to be such that Lieutenant Amiss was utterly powerless to still the tumult. A mad rush had just begun in the direction of Colonol Ainsworth when Mr. Warner arose and, standing on bis chair, begged for order. The sight of him stand ing stopped the rush. Dr. fcchaetler directed Mr. Warner to take his seat, but the latter refused and, raising his voice, managed to make himself hoard. His first word brought quiet. "This outbreak of feeling must be suppressed," he said, "not by tho strong hand of law, but by the hand of fraternity. Applause. I appeal to you to have fair play as American citizens, and not to stain the fair name of the glorious capital of this Republic. 1 anpeal to you in the nayne of the -Master who reigns above." The crowd fell into Mr. Warner's way of thinking and cried' "yes," "yes." He saw his advantage and made an appeal to let the question of allowing Colonel Aiusworth remain besettled by cool heads. When be took his seat, however, there were moro threatening muttenngs, and Dr. Schaetier quickly adjourned the inquest nntil 10 o'clock to-morrow morning at the first precinct police statiou. Tho department clerks stood about tbe ball talking excitedly over the incident. Colonel Ainsworth sat in his chair for a minute and then walked out of the building, entered a carriage aud was quickly driven away amid angry expressions from the crowd. When the hall was emptied the excited language of the clerks continued on tho sidewalk, and finally old Dutler Fituh mounted the entrance steps of tho baildmg and prooosed an indignation meeting immediately. Tbe proposition was adopted, and the clerks took possession of the hall. Smith Thompson, aged seventy-two years, who made many bitter remarks against Colonel Ainsworth and Jacob Freioh in bis testimony this morning, was elected chairman of the meeting, and denunciations of Colonel Ainsworth and of those who justified his course were indulged in. A committee consisting of Smith Thompson, VX. Sayre, D. Fitch, Percy Monroe and M. M. Jarvis was appointed to wait upon tbe President and protest against the proposed secret session at the police . station and to urce the suspension of Colonel Ainsworth pending tbe investigation. Subsequently it was said that the inquest would be resumed to-morrow in the same hall, but under better police arrangements. It was proposed to appoint a committee to secure counsel to represent the clerks at tbe next session ot tlfe inquest, but this was rendered unnecessary by Judge Jere Wilson volunteering his services.

Mars, which was the popular planet last year, will give place during the coming season to Saturn, lo the unaided eye tho ringed orb appears as a star of the first magnitude in tbe southeastern sky in the earlv part of the evening. Astronomers expect soon to have somo good opportuni ties of studying tbe concentrio rings of tho planet. They last disappeared, or were only seeu edgewise, in lbOl, but are now gradually coming into view. Saturn is ninety-live times as larg as the eartb. and besides its mysterious rings has eight at tendant satellites. It is expected that a ninth moon will be discovered this year. In the presence of such magnificent neigh bors, the earth must feel decidedly insignificant. Drownaxl Iter Children and flnrse'f. Zasesvillf. 0., June 13. Near Fultonbam. yesterday.

STORM IN TIIE PRESBYTERY BrigRs's New York Friends Endeavor tn StriL-A llnrV at th Asmhlv. lireezjr Discussion Over a Resolution to Not Enter tho Decision on the Kecords Key. T. C. liall Anxious to Be Tried. Nkw York, June 12. At a meeting of the New York Presbytery this afternoon Prof. Francis Ilrown, of the Union Seminary, moved tbat tho otlicial announcement from the General Assembly of the reversal of tbe Presbytery's judgment and the suspension of Dr. Briggs bo not entered upon tho records. He also j?nt forward a set of resolutions and a memorial to be presented to the next General Assembly attacking tbe constitutionality of tbe Gen eral Assembly's appeal, not only on the methods which were observed in its conduct, but also on the ground that the body bad no right whatever to take up the question before it bad been submitted to the synod. Tbe resolutions, which were read amid a silenoe that was almost painful, also held that the General Assembly bad no right to pass sentence, but should havo directed tbe presbytery of which Prof. Prigcs was a member to tako aotion; that the General Assembly has not simply passed sentence against a member of tbe pres bytery by entenntr ludcmont upon the amended charges, but has also introduced a new and distinct charge, and has passed sentence on tbe basis of this charge, name ly, the charge of violation of ordination vows. After Professor Prown bad read this doc ument, be proceeded to state his case. No one interrupted him, but the minute he sat down a dozen men arose claiming recognition. Nearly two hours of stormy discussion ensued, in which an etlort was made to lay the memorial on the table until October. Four motions to adjourn wero lost and one young elder called Dr. Brown's memorial a irross impo sition on the presbytery. He was hissed down. The moderator deoided that the discussion was in ordor and the body. by a 'vote of 50 to 41, refused to lay it on the table. By a rlank movement, however, the objectors had discussion suspended while Dr. Herr mann P. i Hust, once a Jewish rabbi, asked for aud obtained acceptance into the Presbyterian Church. Then a motion to ad journ was carried, and the memorial goes over with other unfinished business for the October meeting, in the rneautlme tbe de cision of the General Assembly will be re corded on the minutes of tbe New York Presbytery. A Chicago llwretle. Chicago. June 12. Key. T. C. Hall, son of the celebrated Dr. Hall, of New York, practically challenged a heresy trial today. It was at a meeting of the Chicago Presbytery, at which the commissioners who went to the General Assembly at Washington mado their reports. The Hey. Mr. Hall said: "I do not believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch nor that Isaiah wrote tho two books. Our church has taken a position narrower than that of any other in the world. I oo not belieye it was legal or constitutional. I take the same position practically as that taken by Dr. Briags." I here was a little bash at this announcement, nut there was not a dissenting voice. I he members of the presbytery seemed to indorse the sentiments ot Dr. Hull. A Canadian ISruir Case.

I am not an aspirant for anything at tbe clone of tbe war. "There is one thing I feel very well as sured, and that is that I have the con fidence of every brave man in my coin. mand. Those who showed the white feather will do all in their power to attract attention from themselves. I bad, perhaps. o dozen otiicera arrested for cowardioe in the first day's right. The men are neces sarily my enemies. As to the talk about our being surprised, nothing conld be more false. If the enemy bad sent us word when and where they would attack we could'uot have been better prepared. "Skirmishing: had been going on for two days between nnr reconnoitring parties and the enemy's advance. 1 did not believe, however, that tbey intended to make a determined attack, but simply mako a reconnoissauce in force. My headquarters wer at Savannah, though I usually f.pent tbe day at Tittaburff. Troops were constantly arriving to be assigned to the different brigades and divisions. All were ordered to report at Savanab. making it necessary to keep an ollico nnd some one there. I was also looking for liuell to arrive, and it was important that I should have every arrangement complete for his crossing and transit to this side of the river." Held I'p lr h Lone Robber. Omaha.

The remarkable instance of a yonnc: man with a broken neck living and retaining all his faonlties is excitiug much interest among the medical men of Springfield, Mass. The young man is Edward Burt, of Long .Mo ad ov', near prlngtield, aud he is twenty years . old. lie is a rider of a bicycle, and about two weeks ago he was thrown from his wheel, lie struck upon his head with such force as to dislocate backwards the second vertebra. Tho injury did not eeem to be serious, and only two days ago was an etlort made to reduce tbe displacement ot the vertebra. Jn eases of this kind, when death does not ensue, paralysis usually follows. None of his facnlties were impaired, however. The organs of his throat, nevertheless, were so pushed out of place that he could swallow only with ditliculty. Ho was taken to the City Hospital and an etlort was made to set the dislocation by pulling the head and pushing the vertebra into place." The attempt was only partially successlul. The physicians then attempted thoheroio measure of suspending the yonng man by the neck. He was lifted from his feet nntil tbo pain was bo great as to make further treatment positively dautierous. Hurt shows improvement as a result of the surgical hanging. Still his chin is drawn down and the larynx is out of place, whilo the head is turned a little to one side. Only one linger could be introduced into his mouth before the operation, but the jaws can be opened now so as to admit two. and he can swallow some. The doctors expeet to stretch tbe nectc again in a day or two, a very dangerous operation, as the vertebra dislocated is the axis or second from the medulla, and a slight strain in the spinal chord will produce death. An the doctors munt decide how far they can stretch the neck safely by the patient's condition, it is not possible to give ether or chloroform. Obituary. VinvN'A, Jnne 12.

The xulntako we made in ISTGwasin borrowing publio money, which the government had no right to lend, and which it could not have recovered in auy court had our Centennial board refused payment. Our managers hewed to the line, how erer, and it was to their credit Bat the money onsht not to have been borrowed from tbe Treasury of the United State, which cannot lend money legally even when authorized by act of Congreaa. Congress can appropriate money for publio national purposes. It can give money for euch purpose. Our Western fellow. citizecs were clamorous that our managers should be held to the letter of the bond, but they were very young and may be excused. The East, haying grown up to man hood, will net suggest that the Columbian commission shall return tbe free gift of Congress. If wise they will keep it. and order theirexposition exactly as seems best to them. There is no law to prevent that, whatever the newspapers may say because they think it popular to say it. Dr. ltrlgga Probably Itluht. To the Cdltor of the icdlanapcUs JournaL Io a late letter concerning his case Dr. Bnggs predicts there will be no schism in the Presbyterian Church on account of what he has said and done, and what others have said and done about him. Thin is probably tbe true viow to take, but be it most lively mistaken when Lo supposes there will be any great stir in the church concerning the matter. It is not probable that any "bugle call, resounding from ooean to ocean, from the gulf to tbe great lakes, a call to arms," will be heard. Presbyterians do not do business that way. Tbey are a slow people, but. like tbo tortoise in the fable, tbey get there, aud frequently before people who go by lits and Starts as the hare does. . To one who is old enough to remember tbe attempt to silence Dr. Lyman lieeober, sixty years ago, there appear many parallelisms between the iieecher and the Uriggs cases, in his pulpit and iu his instructions in the professor's chair at Lane Seminary Dr. lieecher had departed lrom the traditional teachings of his church on, several points, and those who could n t answer his logio determined to suppress him by the cry of heresy. Tbey tried it but failed. The Cincinnati Presbytery re fused to convict him. nnd the church took no appeal to the General Assembly, else, no doubt, judging from what soon followed, he wonld have been suspended, an Dr. liriggs wof; because three years later, tho General Assembly, by a very decided vote, puseed a resolution which virtually excluded Dr. lieecher. Dr. Barnes. Dr. Duflield and manv others in sympathy with them, driving ttem to the unwise measure of organizing the New School Church. There was no necessity for thin, as events soon demonstrated, for almost immediately the oldest of tbe Old School ceased to preach the traditional doctrines of ths church on the points in controversy, nubetitnting substantially tbe very language of Drs. Ueecher, aud Barnes, and Duffield, o tbat in tbirty-two years the whole church had so come on to the platform of thete men. that the Xew School abandoned their distinct organization and absorbed tbe Old School dootrinal ly. though consenting to be absorbed, organically, by tbe Old School, and Presby terianism became a unit on the Beechr construction of tbe creed; and tho faith ai preached by thoso who sought to suppresi Dr. Beecher has not been heard in auy respectable Presbyterian pulpit for mors than a third of a century. There will be no secession in this case, Men of advanced thought have learned a better way. Occasionally, though very rarely, a minister in sympathy more orlKS with Dr. Briggs may be nagged into leaving tbe church; but in this case, as in tht former, tho pw will educate the pnlpvt much more tbau the schools ot theology can, and the pulpit will accept the lessoni tauuht ffom the pew. I do not write to indorse Dr. Bnggi. for I do not agree with him in some of his deliverances. He is yet tethered to an etlet theology, but, seeing men as trees walking being an indication of improved vision. I hail him as a hero worthy of encouragement. If he lives nnd learns another quarter of a century he will eliminate other figments of the dark ages from bis conceptions of tho Bible and its teachings. IxDlANAroLis, Juno 1J. U. L.
