 Sewer.
 ST. LOUIS, July 27.-An explosion of coal oil gas occurred in the Mill Creek sewer about p. m., tearing up Chouteau avenue from the levee to Broadway. The gas ignited the alcoholic gases in Furch's whisky distilling company. Six pedes- trlans are known to be buried in the wrecked sewer.
 One fireman, caught between the debris of the falling walls, is in a critical condi- tion. Along the Chouteau avenue tracks ot the Iron Mountain Railroad several trains and empty passenger coaches were blown to pieces. Furch's distillery was the building most affected by the explo- sion. The first and second floors fell, car rying the workmen to the cellars. One workman in the distillery has been carried to the hospital in a critical condition. R, J. Tunstall was also severely injured.

DR. LAMPE still holds the floor in the
trial Of Professor Briggs, for heresy, for the
prosecution. In the course Of his speech
yesterday he said: "The theory Of the
higher criticism puts the entire bible
under suspicion and distrust; it cuts mp
the historical fabric in which the
revelations Of God have been conveyed to
mankind into small fragments, and
throws them into unintelligible CON
fusion it makes the prophets Of the Old
Testament accessory TO the palming Of
Of fabricated history on Gods people
it makes inspiration in any true sense
impossible; under the cover Of an as
sumed admiration for the character Of
Christ, 1t puts discredit on His testimony
and that Of the New Testament writers
in their estimate of the Old Testament; II
destroys faith, aud does not restore IT, II
breaks down mans confidence in the
Book of God, and does not build it up

THE suggestion Of Senator Carlisle, of
Kentucky, for the Secretary Of the
Treasury is admirable. From what the
friends of Mr.. Carlisle say, it is apparent
that the idea controlling Mr.. Cleveland,
when he offered the place to Mr. Carlisle,
was that Mr. Carlsle's familiarity with
the finances, his conservative and careful
mind, and his intimate acquaintance
also with the tariff and its effects would
make him peculiarly useful as the guide
for a House that should have the
Treasury with it in preparing any meas
ure Of revenue reform. BY habits of
thought and experience in tariff legisla-
tion Mr.. Carlisle is peculiarly fitted
for the work Of restoring the tariff
duties from the robber idea. under the
protective system TO the revenue idea
under a system Of taxation for the
support Of the government. No one
could dispute the justice, fairness, cool
ness, lack Of prejudice and absolute in
compatibility of Mr. Carlisles work. He
is too careful to make mistake, too high
souled to be caioled, too wise to be inn
posed upon. He has an equal contempt
for the insolence Of wealth and the silly
sophistries Of underling tradesmen. He
has the keenest possible conception for
honesty and duty. He will neither do
an injustice TO the industries nor permit
an.injustice to the people who have been
compelled to support them
