SM T Inn rrsnurononnos The Presbyterian Assembly Decides to Take It UpThursday. DISOUSSING THE SEBPENT. A‘Lively Controversy as to Whether It Shall Be Continued on the Seal of the Church—The Work of 'the Year Among the Freedmen. DETROIT, May 26.—The ministerial dele- gates to the Presbyterian assembly were pretty well occupied Sunday at special services in the various Presbyterian, Meth- odist, Congregational and Baptist churches in the city. All of these churches had services morning and evening conducted by the visitors, and in addition there were meetings in variousinterests in the after: B noon. Colonel Elliott F. Shepard’s Sun- day observance meeting at the Scotch Presbyterian church was a failure, not more than 300 persons being present. The colonel himself was ill, and did not par~ ticipate in the speech making. Monday morning the assembly resumed its labors and took up the discussion of a design for the seal of the church. One party favors a cross with a serpent en- twined about it as an emblem, while the opposition favors a representation of an open Bible. The serpent design was de- nounced as anti-Biblical by Rev. Dr. Rice, of San Francisco, whereupon Elder George J unkin, of Philadelphia, made an elaborate defense of the serpent. The discussion waxed warm for an hour and a half, and was then put over. Dr. léi-igzs’ Case. The report of the committee on theolog- ical seminaries was made the first order of the day for Thursday morning. This will open up the Briggs case for discussion. As a rule, the members of the present as- sembly are reticent as to the probabilities in regard to action on the appointment of Dr. Briggs. Most of them say they are waiting to hear the report of the commit- tee on theological seminaries. Occasion- ally a. man is found who is ready to express an opinion and he usually expects the ap- pointment to be vetoed. Colonel Monfort, of The Herald and Pres- byter, Cincinnati, who probably knows the temper of the body as well as any man not a member of it, when asked what the assembly would do with the appointment when reported, replied, “Veto it. What else can be done? If the appointment is not vetoed it is tacitly confirmed. The as- sembly cannot well confirm Dr. Briggs under existing circumstances. Moreover, from what I am able to learn there is a general feeling that it is proper to veto the appointment anyway. ” Dr. Patton is keeping his own counsel in this case, but there seems to be an un- defined idea. that he will bring forward some honorable plan of compromise for the present, leaving the matter in the hands of the presbytery to which Dr. Briggs belongs. It is generally believed that in case of a veto the trustees of Union seminary will withdraw that institution from under the wing of the general assembly and make it an independent college. \Vork Among the Freedmen. Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, chairman of the board for work among the freedmen, made his report to the assembly. The report showed 230 churches under the board’s con- trol. Two hundred churches had become self sustaining during the year. A normal training school had been opened at Char- lotte, N. C. More funds are needed for the education of girls. Last year’s receipts were $155,000, with which 11,029 pupils, eighty-four schools and 197 teachers were supported. A vigorous appeal was made for the encouragement of the work, coupled with a request that the restriction as to expense be removed. Friends in Session. NEW YORK, May 26.——About 250 mem- bers of the Society of Friends assembled Monday morning in the men’s meeting house of the Friends’ seminary, in Ruther— ford place, at the yearlymeeting of the or- der. Clerk W. H. VVilletts, of NewYork,was in the chair. Epistles from all yearly meet- ings with which the society corresponds were received and read. The usual com- mittees were appointed and a. recess taken. The same order of business was transacted in the women’s meeting, whereabout 250 Friends assembled. The Star Rubber Company’s Failure. TRENTON, May 26.——The ten mortgages filed by the Star Rubber company were filed a. few minutes after midnight Mou- day morning. The mortgage to Jonathan Stewart is $150,000; Thomas A. Bell, $88,- 000; First National bank, $56,000; Philip Dugin, $56,000; ’W. J. Venues, $47,000; Bor- dentown bank, $32,000; Mahlan Hutchin- son, $25,000; W. C. Ivins, $12,000; A. V. Marning, $10,000; Trenton bank, $2,000. BOSTON, May 26.—The failure of the Star Rubber company, of Trenton, it is believed, will not involve any of the banks Of this city. It is stated that none of them had any of the company’s paper. The only person to whom money is due by the com- pany is its agent. Brought Their Quarrel from Italy. SCRANTON, Pa, May 26. — Francesco Grandinetti was attacked by John and Frank Cittatini, brothers, at Dunmore late last night, and drawing a, dirk knife he defended himself against their revolvers. John Cittatini was fatally wounded and his brother seriously cut. Grandinetti es- caped unhurt. The quarrel was over some small transaction in Italy, where they lived up till about one month ago. Suits for Millions. NEW YORK, May 26.——The suit of O’Brien & Clark against the city fer upward of $800,000 for work on section six of the new aqueduct, was begun before Judge Ingra- ham .in the superior court circuit. It is expected that suits. aggregating over $8,000,000,-Of a similar nature, against the city may be affected by the judgment. They have a “struck jury” in the case. _ A Singular Fatality. . BURLINGTON, 1a., May 26. — Edwar Zaiser, living on South Hill, heard a bur- glar in the house last night. Getting out of bed he ran into a burly fellow, who shot him fatally and then escaped.
