THE CASE O!-" DR : WOODROW 8 APPEAL FB0M THE ACTION OF TDK GEORGIA SYNOD TAKEN UP OTHES "EWS By Telegraph to the News and Obserir. Baltimore, 'ay. 21 The General Assembly of the Southern Presbyte rian Church reassembled this morn ing and was largely attended by those wno took an interest in tee case oi j Rev.. Dr. Woodro of South Caro lina, which nHVeis his clerical stand ing because of his ideas on evolu tion. The special committee to which was referred tho subject reported in favor of "rantiDg candidates for the ministry 125 and to make collections in churchy for a supplemental ap propriation on tho 1st of April. Adopted. A resolution wa3 offered ii relation to the Appointment of the Committee on temperance ordered on Saturday .dhecting tho report to bo made on the subject to the next Gen eral Assembly, when Rev. Mr. Brooke moved to so amend as to have the reference to liquor alone. The amend ment was accepted. The case of Rev. Dr. James Woodrow, complaining- of the action of the synod of Georgia condemning his utterances on evolu tion was then taken up. A protracted discussion took placa as to the length of time to be granted. It was finally agreed to grant four hours to Seacn side. The Moderator then charged the members of the assembly to re am in their places daring the trial requested by the law of the church, after which prayer was offered for divine guidance. ; The record of the case from the Synod of Georgia was read, covering the entire proceeding of condemnation, in all, about 1,000 words. Dr. Woodrow then presented his case before the j Creneral Assembly, first stating the nature of the offense charged against him. The testimony of Dr. Adams, his prosecutor, he said, showed Dr. Adams to be deeply interested in Dr. Woodrow s conviction so as to re movekhn from his position in the Theological Seminary while Dr. Adams remained: there as director. Dr. Adams was not prompted by his sincerity for the good of the church, but solely to ieject the speaker. He said that Dr. Woodrow was good enough to preach to the people, but not to remain ini the oemiDary. lie was willing to permit aDy views held by the speaker Outside or the Semi nary, but he must not remain there as a teacher. The views of Dr. Adams were entirely different when " thinking and speaking. He then took up the indictment, declaring that under the old law it might jhoid good, but not under the new law The oflence charged had no place under the pres ent iw. The charge was a violation of church obligations because of his views having a dangerous tendency to the church. He charged Dr. Adams with having had an emissary to cro from lobby to lobby in the church to encompass the ruin of the accused. He denounced such conduct as unworthy, any true believer in the Bible. Dr. Woodrow then read the judgment of the 8ynod of Georgia, annulling the verdict or the Presby tery of Augusta whioh had acquitted him and began ins opening state ment. He said he had been charged with holdinsr doctrines which he ab horred. At this stage of the proceedings and before Dr.; Woodrow had mora than entered npon his address to the " general assembly ad journment was taken until 7.30 tomorrow morning when he will resume. He will be allowed two hours fori his hrst address, re spondents will i have four hours and Dr. Woodrow will have two hours for his closing argument. Commercial Epitome. Y.

Floods in the upper Mississippi river, doing much darnago to property and causing some injury to crops in bottom lands, are among tbe inci dents of the week. It was unseason- ablv cold in middle latitudes, and frosts, more or less severe, were re ported.

Today the market was very firm, at $8.25o. forprime city, S9 85a8.90c. for prime to choice western, $8.45o for refined to the Continent and $9.60 for refined to South America. The speculation in lard for future delivery has continued moderately active and prices show a further and decided ad vance on manipulation at the Wes for speculative account, a slight de cline yesterday being more than re covered toaay, Pork has been quiet; mess, $14.25a $15.25 for old and new; extra prime $13a$13.25; clear, $16 25a$17.75.

Spirits turpentine Bhowa some fur ther advance, a,nd closes today quite firm at 371a38c. Rosins have been less active, and close somewhat nomi nal at $1.20al.25 for common to good strained. The speculation in cotton for fu ture delivery r.t this market has been quite sluggish for the week under re view, and the fl act nations in prices were unimportant. Receipts, at the ports have continued at very full fig ures for this' stage of the season, but hey were largely at the expense of stocks at interior towns, which de creased rapidly; so much so as to cause the deliveries from plantations to be estimated at very low figures. The Liverpool market has at times developed notable weakness in view of the statistical position abroad. .El lison's figures were cabled on Tuesday and had a depressing effect, in view of the large excess over last year of stocks in American markets. On Wednesday some at tention was given to the overflow of the Mississippi river, which gave strength to values. Yesterday a firmer opening was followed by a de cline, Liverpool having opened higher and then declined, the weather South having improved. Today there was a slight advance in response to Liver pool, but business was very dull. Cot ton on the spot has been quieter. Ad ditional sales for export last week of 3,337 bales were made public on Mon day. Today the market was dull and nominal at 10c for middling uplands. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 157,600 bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 2,190 bales, includ ing 133 for export, 1,932 for consump tion, 125 for speculation and in transit. Of the above bales were to arrive.
