Briggs Again Before the Church
New York Oct. 3.—Today Dr.
Charles E. Briggs professor in the
Union Theological Seminary is to
appear before the Presbytery of this
district to be tried for heresy today.
The case Is perhaps the most cele-
brated in the famous church trials of
the century and there are those who
think that Dr. Briggs will refuse to
plead his case today or at anytime
and will leave the church. It will be
remembered that by a close vote the
New York Presbytery referred the
ease to the national body which met
in Portland early in the year. That
body showed itself very unfriendly
to Dr. Briggs and referred the case
back to New York with such recom-
mendations as to leave little room for
doubt that anything but a decision
against the doctor would be rendered.
The charge against Dr. Briggs may
be sumed up In the statement that he
Is alleged to have instructed his
students against a beliefiu the Divin-
ity of Christ.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
Boston Mass. September 23.—The
paper manufacturer# of the country
are being very seriously affected by
the cholera scare. The quarantine
regulations are so strict that steam-
ship companies rather than run the
risk of an indefinite quarantine when
they arrive in American ports are
refusing generally to accept rags as
cargo When It Is considered that
nearly all grades of paper except that
used in printing newspapers are
made to some extent of rage and that
from 50 to 75 per cent of the rage used
come from abroad it is seen how seri-
ous a matter it ie for the supply of
rags to be suddenly shut off as it is
now. New England paper men are
much disturbed over the situation
aqd members of the Fine Writing and
Loft dried Paper makers’ Association
have agreed to advance the prices at
least 2c a pound and to curtail the
production one-half during October
and November. Those signing the
agreement- produce an aggregate of
175 tons of fine paper per day. War-
ner Miller is quoted as saying that
the price of newspaper will be ad-
vanced to 3 1-2 c a pound within a
week as the demand tor pulp far ex-
ceeds the supply.

Writing Obscene Letters.
Saturday afternoon there was quite
an exciting scene in the federal court
room the subject of the affair being Mrs.
Julia Henig who was arrested Friday by
Deputy United States Marshal Harrison
Kilgore at Yorktown.
About one year ago a doctor from
Cuero named E. A. d’Lipcsey made the
acquaintance of Mrs Henig's daughter
and soon lavished his affections upon her
so the mother stated. The daughter was
quite ill on one occasion and the young
physician wept to her home near
Yorktown and ascertaining this fact
made the acquaintance of theservantand
became quite intimate with her during
the illness of his intended wife. The moth-
er learned of the fact and wrote him a
very disgraceful letter accusing him of
vile acts etc. and used some words which
were not exactly proper. The time rolled
rapidly by and on last Friday the writer
was arrested.
Saturday she was taken before Com-
missioner L. F. Price and waved examin-
ation and gave bond.

A Midnight Visit.
Saturday night about 12 o’clock Mrs
James Gaffney who resides on avenue C
near Pecan street was aroused by hear-
ing some one in her room. She asked who
it was and the reply was "I am looking
for a match.” She called to her husband
who was asleep in the adjoining room
and when he answered the intruder had
fled. He was followed for several blocks
bv Mr. Gaffney but finally dissappeared.
Nothing was stolen as the lady was
awakened too soon for the thief. There
is some clue as to who thd man is and-in-
teresting facts may soon develop.
