THE GREAT COAST STORM.
Awful Results as Developed by Careful
Searching Parties.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 5.-The latest
report last night and,today shows that
Grand Isle, which is next to Chenire
Camanida, escaped with comparative.
ly small loss of life. This was very
fortunate, as several large hotels are
located there and even this late in sea :
son number of guests still remain.
No white people, strange to say, were
among the drowned and killed on
Grand Isle.
The following table gives the total
loss of life at each place. There may
be few more deaths reported at in
terror points, but nearly the entire
devastated country has been gone over
and the worst is Known:

There Lave been few disasters in
this country more overwhelming.
More than half the population of the
devastated region is dead today,
crushed by falling timbers, drowned
by the cruel waves, or dead from ex-
haustion and lack of food and drink.
In all the region from Ponte a la
Hache to the gulf there is scarcely a
person who is not bruised, or disabled
in some way and the wonder is that
any survived the terrors and ex
haustion of that awful night.
million dollars. Immediate relief is
needed, and fortunately some has al
ready been sent, such as food, drink
and clothing, and the merchants of
New Orleans are now in session at the
Commercial club devising measures of
relief, The survivors are suffering for
lack of everything, and as all the els
terms were washed away the inhabi-
tants are in dire distress for drinking
water and deaths have occurred for
lack of it.
All along the river coast below
Pointe q la Hache is wreck and ruin
and many lives were lost. In Bayou
Cook three fourths of the population
are dead. Their bodies are yet un-
buried. There have been deaths there
for want of food and water. At Grand
Isle, while the loss of life is small,
everything is destroyed, fiat with the
ground; but it is at Chenire Campo
nida that the worst has been done.
There the dead will number nearly
1900 so many that the living are not
enough to bury them.

100000 Presbyterians who would be forced
into position they could not accept If DR..
Briggs were branded as a hereto.
All this time the excitement was intense
and several of the assemblymen so far forgot
themselves as to attack personally DIR. Briggs,
who had retired account Of fatigue. How
ever, he was warmly defended. and these out
breaks checked, amid the laughter of the gall
leries and cries of "Shamei"
Late in the evening session, after a vote on
the specifications separately had been taken,
the roll was called and the Assembly voted on
the main question, Shall the appeal be sus-
tained?" The result was announced as fol-
lows: Whole number Of votes cast, 499; to
sustain the appeal 295; to sustain in part, 50;
total to sustain the appeal, 3S3; lot to sustain,
II6.
There were now FIVE things, one Of which
the Assembly could DO in such a case as that of
DIR. Briggs: They could admonish, rebuke,
suspend, depose from the ministry, or expei
from the Church.
On the evening Of Thursday last the General
Assembly formally suspended Charles A. Briggs
from the Office OF Minister in the Presbyterian
Church of the United States until such time as
he should give satisfactory evidence Of repent
Ing to the General Assembly Of the violation
by him Of his ordination vow, etc. The Gen.
ersi Assembly also dissyowed all responsibility

The appointment of Lieut.-Col. Sternberg to
be Surgcon-G General of the Army will promote
Mai John II. Janeway to the rank of Lieu
tenant Colonel in the Medical Department, and
of some of the doctors ranking as Captains.
The records of tile rgeon-General's Office
show that marked advancement was made
during Gen. Sutberand's administration
in the sanitary condition of the Army, and
there was a distinct improvement in the
personnel of the corps. To his credit is
placed the adoption OF plans for undermining
the post and field supply and equipment of the
Medical Department., including new type of
ambulance.

of the trial in Washington DR.. Lampe pre-
sented the appellants opening argument. He
said that the appellants assigned five grounds
in appeal--irregularity in the proceedings OF
the New York Presbytery. the receiving OF I'M
proper and the declining to receive important
testimony. manifestation of prejudice in the
conduct of the case, aud mistake or injustice in
the decision.
He claimed that DIR. Briggs teachings con-
ficted with both Seri pture and the standards;
that they touched matters vitality essential to
Presbyterians whose faith aud practice were
based solely on the authority of the Holy
Scripture, and that according to these views we
must recognize the Church of Rome Is great
fountain of divine authority, able to give men,
without or above the Bible, saving knowi-
edge OF God and divine assurance. Ali this, he
averred, would be a complete abandonment OF
the Reformation position and UNCONVENTIONAL
suicide for the Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Lampe declared that the Church has
never believed anything else than that the
Bible is completely a work of God, and, as
such. inerrant; that DR.. Briggs doubt of the
Books of Isaiah and the Pentateuch, as charged,
created distrust of the entire Bible.
He severely censured the appellate for teach
ing, as was charged, that many Old Testament
predictions had been reversed in history and
that the majority of Messianic predictions
could not be fulfilled.
