FOUND GUILTY AFTER A BRIEr TRIAL—HIS OWN DEFENSE. Chicago, Sept. 28.—The Evening Mail and Telegram have been put under the ban temporarily, at least, in tlie department of second class matter at the postoffice. Qeu. Lieb, the superintendent, stopped last Thurs • day's edition of The Telegram and Thursday's edition of The Mail. The first named sent in 2,418 pounds, about 40,000 papers, of its TTiursday editions, when its usual mail was about ten pounds. The large amount excite; suspicion. An investigation was started, with the result Dt securing what is considered good evidence that the papers were designed for dr.t titration solely in the interest of a cei'-uiu brand of cigars. The Mail's edition sent to the office weighed 1,549 pounds, about 15,000 papers, and was found to contain the some advertisement. Gen. Lieb maintains that the papers should be paid for at third-class rates, which is one cent for every two ounces or fractiou thereof, if in bundle, or one cent on each paper if single. The postage in that case would be eight or more times the second-class rate, which is one cent per pound. In the case of The Telegram the papers were wrapped, directed and sent to the office by a Scandinavian advertising agency tliat makes a business of furnishing names and addressing and mailing circulars, newspapers, etc. The additional amount of money which Uncle Sam claims on the one edition of The Telegram is nearly 1200, and in the case of The Mail about $100. 3ENSATIONAL TERMINATION TO A PUBLICATION IN JERSEY CITY. liouTON, Sept 38.— At a meeting of the Bostoi. daily press Col Roland Worthington, of The Traveler, in the ohalr, CoL Clapp, of The Joaraal, briefly announced the death of CoL Greene, for many yean connected with the Boston press. Appropriate remarks ware made by the members. CoL Charles H. Taylor, of The Qlofaa, offered the following testimonial of reftpect, which was unanimously adopted: C* A Theological War Impending That Is Agitating the Congregational Denomi- The Story of His Crime Related by the Man-He Shot While Trying to Kgcape.

"Pray For Him." Revenge With a Horsewhip. Boston, Sept. 28.—The Andover Review for October will devote all its editorial space to the consideration of the action of the Prudential committee of the American board In the rejection of missionaries and of candidates (both men and women) who have offered themselves for the missionary Held. This looks like the beginning of the long expected theological war over the new Andover doctrine of probation after death. From advance sheets of The Review the following (tatement of the situation is gleaned: The first jioint is the rejection of Rev. Mr. Hume. This case in brief is that Mr. Hume, in an address before the Andover seminary, gave expression to views which hinted that perhaps the millions of dead heathen were in a second state of probation rather than in hell fire, and implied a belief in universal salvation. Although he is the son of missionary parents and himself a missionary in India for twelve years, he was attacked before the American board, and that body has refused to return him to his field, as well as rejected other candidates on the same ground—that they had not enough hell in their belief to suit the board. Hackensack, Sept. 28.—The trial of John Baum, alias Hugg, for shooting George S. Coe, Jr., at Teoneck school house, on the night of May 5, with intent to kill him, took place yesterday. He had no lawyer, but defended his case in person. The court room was densely packed. Among the many persons from Englewood who were present were Mrs. Coe with Bix of her eleven fine children, the Englewood lawn tennis club, and several ministers, all of whom came to attest their interest in the popular young man, who was principal witness for the state. Young Mr. Coe told his story of the crime in detail. Jkkmey City, Sept 28.—Vliomas Gannon, • wealthy coppersmith, who lives in Jersey City, is a widower. Ho has two pretty laughters, Mamie, ago 1 20 years, and A.nnie, aged 17. A few days ago an irticle appeared in -The Jei-sey City Evening Journal telling how two youiig Catholic society girls Aid cominittnd forgery by raising the amounts of two checks given them by their father for spending money. Hie article, which was a column long, with a display head, went on to tell how the father ietected the forgery, threatened his daughters with Imprisonment, and was only prevented from carrying out his threat by the intervention of the parish priest. No names were mentioned in the article, but it was so written that many who read it, and knew tho Gannon girls, readily saw that they were ho persons referred to. George Lenhart, of The Journal, made no secret of the fact that e had written the article. At midnight on C"riday last an American District messenger ;Dpeared at Lenhart's house with a verbal .ejsage that a man wanted to see .tim at John J. Hickey's saloon to give him the particulars of a murder. Lenhart hurried to the place. As soon as he enteaed a tall young man struck him a stinging blow in the face with his* fist. Before Lenhart could recover from his surprise hi* .assailant had escaped. Lenhart did not know at the time who his assailant was, but yesterday he learned that he was Raymond Gilchrist, the 20-year old son of ex-Attorney General Gilchrist, of New Jersey. He caused young Gilchrist's arrest for assault and battery, and also for conspiracy with John J. Hickey, the proprietor of the saloon in which the assault was committed. Hickey also wns arrested. Both gave bail for examination. Young Gilchrist gave aa a reason for the assault that he was a friend of the Hisses Gannon, whom he considered had been grossly libelled by the publication. In the death of CoL Charles Gordon Greene, for many yean the oldest member of the Boston Press association, we, as members of that association, recognise ' the loss not only of an honored associates, but of a distinguished member of the journalistic profession, an eminent citizen, a cultured, scholarly gentleman. W$ desire to express our high appreciation of these qualities of character, which, manifested throughout a long, active and useful career, gave him in so marked a degree the respect, esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens, and especially of his professional and business associates, to whom the intelligence of his death comes with a deep sense of personal loesT We tendsr to the surviving memben of his family our personal sympathy in the bereavement which has oeme to them, assuring them that their loss is also our own.

A short cross-examination by Prosecutor Campbell followed, and Judge Skinner informed Hugg that, as counsel for himself, lie would be permitted to cross-examine the witness. Hugg arose, looked squarely in Coe's face as if criticising the cut of his beard, and said: 4CI haf somedlng here dot I would like to show de jury." 'ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE.

Make a Bold Dafti for Liberty and Get Chaauston, a C., Sept. 28.—At 8:05 yesterday afternoon another shock of earthquake—the first heavy shock since Sept 91— was felt here. The movement of the earth was evidently horizontal, and the tremor wan accompanied by the usual rumbling sound, could be distinctly heard for several seconds after the movement had ceaseil. Those who were out in the thoroughfares did not feel it, but those who were indoors felt the houses shaking, and those who were sitting on the ground floors felt the motion of the earth very distinctly. Advices reotived from Savannah, Orangeburg and other points in this vicinity indloate that the shock was very general throughout eastern South Carolina and Georgia. Coming along almost on the eve of the Wiggins day—the 90th—the shake this evsMmg has greatly demoralised the people here. sequence—Fearing the 1Mb. Apropos of this Rtate of affairs, The Andover Review says: The refusal of the prudential committee to considei the cases of the men and women who wish to become missionaries, but will not accept the dogma of endleas punishment that Dr. Alden insists on, is thus treated—The complete policy of those who support the committee's action is to minimize the number who have a larger hope for the heathen and to represent their influence af almost inappreciable; and on tlie other hand, to magnify the importance of the opinion itself, to represent it as revolutionary in theology and subversive of all religious effectiveness sense of proportion has been lost The theory which is opposed is put before the large end of the telescope, but the numbers and influence of those who hold the theory is put before the small end of the telescope. It is time to have- done with exaggerations and distortions. The hypothesis in question, even if true, cannot be raised, either by its supporters or opponents, to the rank of the essential in theology, but must always remain in a place of only secondary importance. But it should not be denied that the number of those who adopt it as a relief to thought which ponders the destinies of mankind, and of those who concede the liberties of others to hold it, is by no meads inconsiderable. After giving documents in which Mr. Hume pleads with groat earnestness to be allowed to go back to his i Held, the editors of The Review b1J: The Christian public will judge the policy now intrenched in the prudential. committee room by itc fruits. It has begun its career by refusing op discouraging new applications. It is now striking down tried and faithful missionaries. Like the fatal power personified by the poet: "It loves a shining a mark." It has rejected some of the choicest young men and wemen which three loading institutions on which the board depends for its missionaries can supply. Laid Instead, "All rhlod, your honor," responded the burglar suavely, in broken English, "youst as you say." Michigan City, Ind., Sept 28.—A daring attempt to escape was made at the North penitentiary yesterday. Frank Whiting and Charles Havens, two Indiana detperadoes, broke from their guard on the third floor of the shoe shop, just as an engine was pulling out of the yard with a train of cars. They jumped on the engino, overpowered the engineer and pulled the throttle wide open. As they passed through the gate the guard on the wall Bhot and'instantly killed Whiting and Havens leaped off aa soon as ho was outside, but was retaken after having been wounded by a pistol shot Whiting was serving1 ten years for burglary and Havens fourteen years for a street car robbery, but the latter has a charge of murder out against him. This was their third attempt to escape within the last six months. The first time they filed through their cell door, but were discovered by the night guards. The second attempt was made about a month ago, when they dropped out of line previous to marching in to suppei and tried to scale the wall by splicing some ladders. They were again discovered and have since wore a ball and chain as e memento. Eighth race, three mile promateur handicap bicycle—Rowe,first; Stone, second; Burnham, third. Time, 8:31. In this race Ives started, but was thrown from his wheel and retired uninjured.. Then followed one of the most extraordinary scenes ever enacted in a court of justice. The victim of a would-be murder sat in a witness chair to be cross-examined by his assailant, a burglar. Both looked at each other for a full minute. Finally the burglar broke the silence by selecting from among the papers lying on the desk in front of him a clipping from a newspaper.

Dresden, Sept. 28.—Dresden begins to feel the excitement of the approaching marriage between Princess Maria Josepha, second daughter of H. R H. I'rince George, duke of Saxony, and H. I. II. Otto, archduke of Austria, will take place ou Oct. 2, at the royal court in Dresden. In the morning of the marriage day the bridal pair will, after the civil act of lDeing united iu wcclock by the Standesaint, and the ceremony of crowning the bride with the customary nuptial garland in the queen's drawing rooms, repair, through the passage connecting palace and cathedral, to the church, decorated for the special occasion, where the ecclesiastic benediction will be given by the bishop. After this solemn act a tedeum will be performed by the members of the royal musical chapel, under the ringing of bells and the discharge of cannon. After their return to the palace the young couple will receive the congratulations of their relatives and tie court A grand dinner will follow at 5 o'clock, and in the evening a gala representation at the Court theatre, Alstadt, will conclude the festivity of the day. On the day following a grand ball is iu contemplation. Young Coe took it and read aloud a copy of i letter dictated by him to a friend whom he frequently met at the Fulton street prayer meetings, in New York. It asked for his prayers for both himself and the burglar. It prayed forgiveness for the hardened, erring man Last night Lenhart was assigned to report the meeting of the board of Dublic works for his paper. The meeting room, on the second :loor of the department's building, was crowded with politicians when he made his appearance. They laughed at him and he hastened to his seal without saying a word.

While the meeting was in progress a tall young lady in a black silk dress, over which was thrown loosely a gray ulster, tripped tightly np the stairs to the meeting room. - It was Mlu Mamie Gannon. Without attracting much attention she stepped np to the iron railing which divides the members of the board and reporters from the lobby. The burglar's eyes glistened—his voice became low and melodious: "Was dot your feeling at dot timer he inquired, almost tremulously. "It was," responded Coe. Both Whiting and Havens were members of the famous Harter gang, of whom five members are now doing time here. The court room was still as death. The victim's statement of his enemy, when face to face with him, drew tears from many eyes. The burglar stood like a statue and appeared to be moved. Everybody eyed him expectantly, evidently thinking his emotions would convert him upon the spot. Not so. Hugg shrugged his shoulders, waved his hand at the jury, and said triumphantly: A Prise Emy. "Are you Mr. Lenhart?" she asked, as Laohart turned his face toward her. He was sitting only a few feet from the railing, an4 before he had a chance to reply she drew a long horsewhip from beneath her ulster and b"gan to rain blows on Lenhart's head and li iulder& New York, Sept 38.— Chairman Steadman, of the New York State Bar association, announces the following as the subject of the prize essays to be read at the next annual meeting of the association: "Laws of Divorce; conflict thereof in the several states; the advisability of national legislation." Full information may be obtained by addressing L. B. Proctor, at the Capitol, Albany. "How dare you publish suck a story about meUshe exclaimed, as she brought the whip down again and again. The lobby shouted words of encouragement to the young lady, [ynhart took refuge behind one of the commissioners, and a friend induced Miss Qaanon to leave the room. "Hhendlemens, I only wanted to show the jury dot a man sick abed and a man excitled and fighting for life was two different things." There is a rumor that the eldest son of Prince George, of Saxony, heir presumptive bo the Saxon throne, is to be engaged to the Princess Marie Valerie, youngest daughter of the emperor of Austria. Continuing rapidly, he asked: Secretary Luu'i Nuptials. It is now forbidding to return to his work, •t a time of very special need, one of the best missionaries of the board, who affirms that he holds to-day every doctrine which he can hold, and has simply learned to realize more and more that God is Christliko. It is a policy whose next step must be to recall missionaries now in the field, and whose immediate and necessary fruits -are a reduction of forces already far too feeble, a curtailment of work where such a process imperils what has been won, and a lowering of the standard and quality of service. "Vat did you say to your broder when he had me down and was hammering mo mit a pistol r Hull, Eng., Sept 28.—At a meeting of the National league to-day it was resolved not to pass a resolution denying the accuracy of the letter sent by a "Disgusted Fenian" to the Eastern Morning News, but to await the events spoken of.

"As it is, If lie will come down stairs I will give him the worst thrashing he ever got" Breaking away from her friend Miss Ganno i returned to the room and again assaulted Lenhart, who called to the president of the board for protection. Encouraged by the {Louts of the lobby, Miss Gannon made a third attack on Leuhart This time he grasped the whip and tried to get it away from her. In their struggle the railing was demol shei, and the lobby rushed in on Lenaiu t, and but for the interference of the commissioners he would have been rougUy fondled. Satisfied that she had been sufficiently revenged, Miss Gannon left the buildins with some friends. In the street she was met by her father, who asked her if she had given it to him. '•Yes," she replied, "andgood, too. He has injured me, and I guess I have cut him well for it." Paying For the Dead. Another dramatic scene followed. "I said, 'Kill him! kill himl' " replied Coe, visibly affected. ~ Erik, Pa., Sept 28.—Claim Agent Hall, of the Buffalo division, is now ill the city,* settling up the claims for damages occasioned by the Niakel Plate disaster at Silver Creek, rhe first claim to be settled was that of William Ileidt, upon payment of $100. ■ Claim Agent Hall says it will be very difficult to tettle the death claims, that he has approached the heirs of those killed, but they have reflected his propositions. At the time the Nickel Plate was built its managers attempted to secure property in Erie countyit a reduced valuation, consequently the uitagonism of the farmers is very great igainst the road, and Mr. Hall is anxious to teep out of court, fearing the juries. He sstimates it will take about (100,000 to settle the death claims. "Ah!" replied the burglar, "dot vas differsnt from 'Pray for him!' Is dot not soT This last query, addressed to the jury in a cunning, crafty tone, caused a titter in the court room, in which both Coe and the Iju -glar joined. Both the witness and the burglar lawyer now commenced to engage each other in a series of conversational reminiscences on the tragedy. The spectators held their breath as questions were put and answered. A look of triumph spread over the burglar's face from time to time as ho tried to entrap his victim. Gould's Iadlotment.

He claims that the men tried to drive him from his claim on a piece of land near here, the ownership of which is disputed, and he acted in self-defense. He was put in jail pending an investigation. Gave Himself Up. Shall such a policy be sustained! Do the free Congregational churches of this country believe in keeping back such a man as Mr. Hume? Do they wish to deny to missionaries what they grant to their pastors? Are they ready to take the responsibility of withholding from service men whom, by all the signs of spiritual earnestness and power, Ood has called, and who offer themselves, moved, as they believe, by the spirit of God, and in love to Christ and their fellow men, to go to the heathen, preach Christ, and Him only ? The wily burglar's defense did not appear quite as plain as it might, and UDe jury began to look wearied. Milwaukm, Sept 28.—Governor Rusk has issued a proclamation forbidding the importation of cattle from Illinois, except when accompanied by a certificate of health from Quarantine Against Chicago. Hugg tried every ruse ho could to lead his victim to make a misstatement He argued io ably that the town lawyers looked amazed. Never did his large, intellectual head desert him.

The Review shows that the necessity of harmony in foreign missions, insisted upon in Dr. A C. Thompson's recent pamphlet, "On future Probation and Foreign Missions," in no way militate against these missionaries, as both the Japan and India missions of the American board are practically unanimous in their favor. When Hugg finally made his last appeal to the jury he said, assuming a dramatic attitude: "Gentlemen, when I went into the little school house at Teaneck I only intended to take a nap. I was aroused from Bleep by these people who were coming in at the door. I never intended to commit robbery or shoot anybody. They fought me and I fought back. You have heard my defense."
