LIZZIE PEAK’S SLAIEH.
_l.’__._
The Evidence Yesterday Drove Nails in
the Murderer’s Coffin.
M'r. HOLLY, N. J ., Dec. 29,—Every addi-
tional witness called~ by the prosecution
in the trial of Wesley Warner for the
murder of Lizzie Peak yesterday seemed
to add a nail to his coflin., The testimony
of the dead girl’s sister, Amanda Peak,
was direct and convincing. She said she
recOgnized Warner as soon as he jumped
from behind the bush in the roadside;
saw the knife in his hand and saw him
plunge in the blade in her sister’s breast.
As he did so he cursed the dying girl and
was about to stab her again when Katie
Peak interfered, whereupon . he made a
strike at her. ‘

.. incompetency the Allegation.
’PITTSBURG, Dec. 29.—It is said that the
dissatisfied Feicht families of the Econo-
mite community, in their opposition to

,go into court and ask for the appointment
.of a receiver, not to wind up the affairs of
:the corporation but to carry on its busi-
ness, audit its accounts, and make a re-
port to its members. Incompetency will
be the allegation.

The Presbytery Has Begun to
’ ' Vote on His Case.
THE FIRST RESULT LIKELY T9
BE. A TIE
And Then the Moderator Will Vote
Against Him- ’
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The Presbytery
of New York will begin today to vote
upon the charges of heresy made against
Prof. Charles A. Briggs. Under the rules
adopted yesterday each member of the
court must confine himself in his expla-
nation Of his vote to three minutes. There
are 132 members of the Presbytery who
are entitled to vote, and it is possible
that the whole vote may be taken before
the court adjourns at 5 o’clock this after-
noon, but this is not considered prob-
able. It is expected that the voting will
not be ended for two days.
There are now on the rolls of the New
York Presbytery, entitled to vote upon
the charges against Prof. Briggs, the
names of 101 ministers and 32 laymen. Of
the ministers the Moderator, John C.
Bliss, would vote only in case of a tie, and
the Rev. John B. Devins has been excused
from voting on account of his connection
with one of the daily papers. The Rev.
Robert R. Booth is paired with Dr. Pax-
ton, Who is not allowed to vote, and this
reduces the number of ministers actually
voting to 98. Of these 49 will vote for
Prof. Briggs and 49 will vote against him.
Of the 32 elders 17 are againstProf. Briggs
and 15 on his side. This would make the
vote stand 68 to 64 against Prof. Briggs.
The change of one vote from t opposi-
tion would make the vote a tie and the
charges would fall, unless, the moderator
voted. He will, probably, if called upon,
vote against Prof. Briggs. This would
mean victory for the prosecution by the
narrow majority of one.

A Klenl Gen. Grant mnjoyeu.'
An unpublished story of Gen. Grant
was told yesterday at the Grand Pacific
by Paul Gores, says the Chicago News.
“ I wassteward at the Palm or House, " ,
he said, “ when the ex-president stopped 1
there on his return from the tour of the
world. One noon 1 was all but stupnficd
at seeing Gen. Grant creep in at. the
kitchen door, as though escaping: from
some one. ‘I am sorry to trouble you,’
he said, as though asking a. great favor,
‘ but may I have a little, corned beef
and cabbage?’ ‘ Why, certainly,’ I .re-
plied. ‘ But shall I not send it to you
in the dining room.’ ‘ No,‘ he an-
swerd, ‘I’ll eat it right here if you let
me sit down at this table.' So I cleared
away a piece on the rough board table,
where the cook had been fixing the meat,
drew up a stool and the way he got away
with that Corned beef and cabbage made
my eyes bulge. When he load finished
he laid down his knife and fork with a
fnnnysighrof satisfaction, put one hand
on my shoulder and.- saicl—‘ Young man,
I suppose you don’t care for that at all,
but if you had had to .eat what I have
for the past few months it would taste
like a dinner for the gods.’ The poor
old fellow had dined with everybody
from the queen down, and that cabbage
in my kitchen did him more good than
all the rest together.” .

ment yesterday issued orders not to sup-
ply sentries with ball cartridge after the
