worldly thrift. Its Inhabited largely

MINISTERIAL SHORTCOMINGS.

Among that list of stock sayings
which are conceived and brought
forth in denaest ignorance, or pure
thoughtlessness, or malicious hate,
is the one 80 often heard of late
years, that the ministry, as class,
was becoming depraved and un-
worthy of the trust reposed in them.
In common with the majority of the
opinions which the public receive at
second hand, this is, in no degree,
true, although it has been so often
repeated that great faith is put in
its verify by some people. If you
should ask one of the chronic grum-
blers who passes his time in lament
ing the departure of the "good old
days" for proof, he would name
perhaps half a dozen prominent
men, and assure you that it was not
formerly SO. Press him hard,
though, and he will soon come to
the end of his tether and confess
that he knows no more.
One fact is in favor of these de-
\ nouncers of ministerial probity and
] that is in consequence of class o.
vulture like journals and demand
for scandal, More is read of then
than was formerly. A journals
who will thus pander to such a de-
PRAYED appetite is disgrace to th'
profession and held in contempt b.
decent people, but he will prosper
for all that in any densely settled
territory. But because we do reat
more of these immoralitie
is no sign that the.
abound more. 1t must be remem
bered that the press of to-day wa
never dreamed of fifty, or forty, Of
even thirty years ago. The electric
current and the engine had not ther
been applied to the dissemination o
news. AS newspaper, the shee
of the olden time would be sue
cess only as failure in these days
Then the parish scandal was ONLY
published over the tea cups of al
old inman's table; now they ar,
scattered broadcast over the land
heralded every day by a million 81
lent voices. In those days, Knox.
Vile and Nashville were, for al
practical purpose, foreigners +

John Kelly Routed = Mayor CoOper's
 Nominations Confirmed by the Alder
 men-Excitement Over the Result.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-There was a great rush of politicians present to-day at the special meeting of the Board of Aldermen, when it was expected that Mayor Cooper would send in the nominations within his gift. Only one Alderman, Mr. Keenan, was absent. After little preliminary sparring among the members vote was passed, 13 yeas to nays, to have the Mayors messages read. Several messages from the Mayor were then read, withdrawing the nominations of Allan Campbell for Commissioner of Public Works, of Clifford A. Hand for Police Jus tice, of Lucius J. N. Stark for Dock Com
 missioner and of Smith Gift for Excise Com missioner, the several communications being received and placed on file. futter of ex- citement was then caused by the reading of communication from the Mayor nominating
 Allan Campbell for Comptroller in place of
 John Kelly. An excited debate then took
 place among the members, who ranged them
 selves for or against Kelly, according to their
 political affiliations. A motion to refer the nomination to the committee on county af fairs was lost by 8 vote of 12 to 9. It was then moved to confirm the nomination of Allan Campbell. After some debate in which considerable bad blood was manifested, a vote
 was taken on his confirmation President Mor- ris made brief speech explanatory of his vote, saying that it mattered little to him l when the office was to be given to Demo-
 crat which Democrat got the office, and he
 read an editorial from a Republican morning newspaper advocating the retention of MT. I Kelly in the Gomptrollership if the office was | to be given to Democrat President Morris then voted in the negative. The vote was then taken on the confirmation of Allan 1 Campbell for the Comptrollership and this was declared carried by vote of Is to g.

Terrible COlliery Explosion-Etghty-
 six Miners KiIled-HarrOSing Scenes
 at the Pit.
 LONDON, Dec. 1O.-An explosion which was felt for miles around occurred this morning at the steam coal colliery at Perry Craig, in the southern part of Wales. The colliery in which this last great disaster has taken place adjoins Dina's colliery where the un- recovered bodies of the men killed in the explosion of last January still remain A terrible state of excitement prevails and all the pathetic and narrowing scenes in separable from such accidents are reported Four men have thus far been rescued, and from what they were able to tell of the con- dition of things in the lower pit it is believed that others may be found alive, but there is no doubt that ninety men who were at work in the upper sections at the time of the explosion are dead. The superintend- ent of the colliery and the other officials are doing what they can to reach the scene of disaster in the mine and to comfort the mourning wives, children and friends of the lost miners. Exploration is yet danger ous on account of the gas.
 LATER.-It is now ascertained that eighty six of the persons who were in the pit at the time of the explosion are dead Seven corpses have been brought up thus far, but many others have been discovered and will be raised this evening"

 HoUsE-In the Committee of the Whole on the private calendar, Mir. Sparks presiding, twelve bills were disposed of and the action of the committee was subsequently, confirmed by the House. This was a. pretty good days work when compared with, what was done on private bill days last session, but it need not give all on the calendar a hope of success. There are over thousand bills on it and there will not be more than nine or ten more private bill days during the session.
 After the private bills had been disposed of Mir. Blount submitted motion to adjourn over until Monday. Several members want ed a sessoin tomorrow for debate only on the electoral count rule, but that required unanimous consent. and it was objected to. It required a majority vote to adjourn over, and those who wanted session for debate withheld their votes. A roll call, however, compelled the members to vote, and the House, at 4:25 P. m., by large majority, adjourned until Monday

Police Commissioner,

A special meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners was held last evening for the purpose of hearing the charges against Pa trolman John c. Jackson. who was charged by Chief Webster with gross neglect of duty.
 There was full Board present, Commis- sioner Gilbert presiding.
 The charges were read by the clerk and showed that the officer had been guilty of en- tering his own house. which was on the beat to which he was assigned, on seven different occasions while on duty and remaining from twenty eight to ffty-seven minutes.
 The facts as contained in the charges were testified to by Roundsmen Smith and Selleck.
 Patrolman Jackson, in his own behalf, acknowledged that he had entered his resi- dence on different occasions for the purpose of getting cup of hot coffee, and he did not think he remained as long as stated by the roundsmen. He said he had never before been before the Board for any offense and asked for leniency in the case.
 The Board went into executive session and voted to dismiss Officer Jackson from the force.
 The officer has heretofore been considered one of the best on the force.

l caused wild excitement in the city. In a very short time after the news had gone forth there was large gathering of pohh- clans at the Astor House. The Tammany ad- herents refused to believe it. as they had persuaded themselves that such a result could nots be brought about, and as they were forced to accept the truth they gave vent to threats of vengeance upon the anti-kelly Democrats. The effect was that of satlsfac- tion. Ex State Treasurer Mackin said that If it had been accomplished two years ago the Democracy would have not only the Cover nor and the entire State government, but the President of the United States. The Kelly Democrats had little to say, but insisted that the defeat of Kelly did not necessarily de- stroy his influence.
 Secretary Thompson's New Departure.
 NEw YORK, Dec. 1O.-Secretary Thompson of the navy was in the city to-day and spent several hours in visiting some of the leading banking houses.

It is also understood that President Hayes has ex- pressed his entire willingness in MT. Thomp- son's new move. The Secretary, 1t IS re- ported, will send in his resignation as Secre- tary of the Navy as soon as he receives his offer from the Panama Canal company. The invitation to Secretary Thompson will be re- ceived by cable tomorrow.
 Another Failure in the Coffee Trade.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Bowie Dash Co.,, the old and weIl-known coffee house, of 166 Pearl street, suspended payment this morn ing. Something of this kind has been ex- pected for several days. Their failure is the direct result of the effect upon the coffee trade of the death of O. G. Kimball, of Bos- ton, and the depreciation of coffee. The connection between the firm of o. G. Kim ball & Go. and Bowie Dash & Co. was very intimate At the office of Bowie Dash t Co., this morning the fact that the house had suspended payment was admitted, but all in- formation on the subject was denied From other sources it was learned that the habili- ties amount to $1, 400, ,OOO. The firm will not make an assignment. It is reported in the trade that the firm within the limits of it's own business is strong and well fortified Mir. Dash is authority for the remark that they have surplus of $500,000.
