DISASTER IN MEXICO.
rwENry.slx MEN sMo1AEREo.
Fatality In Coal Mine Near the Rio
drande River, Caused BY burn.
ing T;mbers.

serious fre broke out Saturday night In
he Fuente coal Mines which arc situated in
Mexico, about four miles from Eagle Pass,
and operated by the Mexican National Rail-
way Company. There were sixty miners ut
work In the mine at the time Of the breaking
but OF the fire, but thirty-four OF them were
working near the mouth Of the tunnel and
made their escape, leaving twenty-slx OF
their number to perish from the heat and
smoke and from the poisonous gases which
spread like lightning to every portion OF the
mines.
When 1t was seen that all efforts were use
less to rescue the imprisoned miners, every
energy was directed to saving the property
from destruction. Pipes were laid into the
mine as far as any work could bc done and
hose attached and water poured onto the
burning tlmbers, and In three hours the fire
was under control. The gas was SO bad,
however, that the work Of recovering the
bodies will be slow. Two bodies were brought
out on Sunday.
All the miners employed were Mexicans
And most OF them leave destitute families. 1t
Is reported that all parties responsible for the
management OF the mines have been placed
under arrest pending an investigation OF the
causes Of the disaster. But for the prompt
action Of the officials Of the Mexican Inter-
national and their heroic efforts, the mine
would have been destroyed and none OF tho
todirs-~ould 4iavc been recovered. This y
the first great disaster In the history Of coal
mining In Mexico.

Secretary Carlisle's avovcd purpose TO Issue
legal tender notes, II necessary TO obtain gold,
Ia not pleasing To the spectators who have
been trying TO force him to make an Issue OF
bonds. and they are hunting the statute books
to find some prohibition upon his authority In
the matter. The power conferred by section
300 Of the Revised Statutes Is a broad one,
however. and is In itself rs complete an au-
thority AS could be desired. II provides that
the secretary may purchase coin with any Of
the 'notcs OF the United States authorized by
law, Mt such rates and upon such terms rs he
may deem most advantageous TO the public
interest"
The Treasury department Is said to hold
that the act Of 1873 which forbade the
further cancellation and retirement Of United
States notes, did not dcbar future reissue
Of notes up 10 the original amount Of st00,-
100000, authorized by the act Of March 3rd,

DR.. BRIGGS SUSPENDED.
rho General Assembly Denies Him tho
Right to Preach to Presby-


Having decided by vote of 1888 to 1lG that
they had hereto on their hands In the per-
son OF DR.. Briggs the first thing for tho Pres.
6yterian general assembly to do when 1t met
Thursday morning was to consider what
should be done with him. Accordingly, q
committee was appointed TO bring In n verdict
and rs members were requested to get to
work at once After n long session tho COM
mlttce brought In this recommendation:
Suspension from the ministry" and the as
sembly adopted the report.
Daring the session of the committee mo-
ton was made by DIR. Stewart to adopt rcso.
luton admonishing DIR. Briggs for his dcliv-
cry OF the inaugural and requesting him to
refrain from further spread OF his teachings,
against which the church has spoken.
II was suggested, however, by another
member, that admonition possibly would be
OF no avail and II was decided that SUBJ
committee should walt upon DIR. Briggs ard
ascertain what position he would take In the
case. As had been expected from his
speeches, they found that DIR. Briggs was not
disposed to take back or modify anything
which he had said.
Upon making this report to the full COM
mittce, II was decided that the only other
thing to do was TO suspend him from the fur
thcr practice Of the office OF Presbyterian
minister, and this was agreed to bya unani-
nous vote.
DR., Briggs Is suspended indefinitely, and
can only be relnstatcd on his recantation Of
the matter In his speeches and writings to
which objection has been made. " is un-
likely that he will ever do that.
Professor Briggs was not In his seat when
tho closing scenes took place; all the COM
missioncrs who had given thci- support and
counsel had gone, with the exception of Pro-
fessor Samuel Brown. who waited to hear the
verdict and then left the church.
In an interview DR.. Briggs declared that
the action of the assembly will have no effect
on his relations with Union Theological Sem
mary where he will continue to teach.

ELEoTRIclTY's DISPLAY.
Opening of an Important Department OF
the Worlds Fair.

Opening of an Important Department OF
tho Worlds Fair.
The Electricity Building at the Worlds
Fair was formally opened Thursday night.
From every conceivable nook and corner In
the electricity building $1,000 electric lights
CLEANED tonight, and every machine and
electrical apparatus was In motion. 1t was
the formal opening Of the building. There
was no specch-making on the programme,
the only entertainment being band music.
The machinery and electrical appliances had
been tested, and at s o'clock all were put In
motion. In an instant the entire building
was blaze Of light The effect OF $50 arc
and 5000 incandescent lamps was hei ght-
cncd and the light intensified by the French
marine search lights which reyolyed on ped
cstals erected around the French exhibit.
The arc lamps are arranged for Illuminating
purposes, and the incandescent lamps arc
used principally for scenic and decorative
purposes. In this building the story of the
strides taken In the application OF electricity
from the time when Benjamin Franklin, with
kite and string, discovered i,s presence, TO
the present date, Is told by the wonderful OK
hibits.
One OF the most unique and attractive dis
plays Is the Egyptian temple. Illuminated by
1000 lncandcsccnt lights, none of which arc
dlsecrnibc. Another company has built a
model thcatcr, ut a cost Of Sis, 900, and by the
use OF lights the twenty -four hours OF day are
shown. Lightning Is practically demon
siratcd, the bright flashes darling from one
instrument TO another. The foreign countries
arc represented In the building largely, the
French. German and English displays being
especially attractive.
One feature OF the display was the unvcll.
Ing and lighting OF the big Edison tower
erected by the General Electric Company.
This shaft Is situated In the exact center OF
the building, and represents the highest
achievement Of the incandcsccnt lamp Ii
extends Into the groIncd arch formed by the
Intersection Of the nave and transept, reach
Ing height Of about 100 feet.
The methods used In construction have re-
suited In showing perfect column us though
the entire shaft were hewn from one massive
block Of stone. II springs from the roof OF

and the eutirc interior Is strewn with thous-

flashed In harmony With the fash Of music.
The column Is crowned With wcll.propor.

beautiful jewels are strung on frame and
are all lighted from the interior by large
