Colliery.
WORST OF THE KIND IN THE REGION

SHAMOKIN, Pa, October 11.-Four men
were killed, two were fatally injured and
several others were painfully burned by a
disastrous boiler explosion that occurred at
the Henry Clay colliery early today. The
entire steam-supplying plant Of the mine,
consisting of thirty-six boilers, was totally
demolished, and in addition to the monetary
loss. which will aggregate $50 600 the Henry
Clay, Big Mountain, Sterling and Peerless
collieries will be unable to resume opera
tons for at least a month.
The explosion is the worst of its kind
that has ever occurred in this region, and its
cause is mystery. The dead and injured
were:
Thomas Carr, foreman; leaves widow and
three children; one arm and one leg blown
off and body cut In two
William Boyle, fireman; leaves widow
horribly crushed and lacerated about the
body; dead when recovered.

A PLEA FOR LIGHT.
lexington Citizens object to the
Present illumination.

The citizens of lexington are clamorins
for street lamps. Today Mr. q. W. Pond
OF that section wrote a letter to the Com
missioners upon that subject. I'm which he
says, among other things:
Il respectfully ask what we plain folk OF
lexington have done that we can have no
street lights. 1 say none, for practically IL
amounts 10 that. What does a row OF half
dozen lights along a single street amount
to for a large community like Eckington?
] would be willing to make oath that for
three weeks past there have been lights
on the streets east of the Baltimore and
Ohio tracks not more than three times. and
that for the past six weeks only a small
patch OF the subdivision has been lighted
night by night. Apparently II is managed
In this way; The street light circuits are
divided UP. Those east OF the Baltimore and
Ohio tracks are in one circuit. Those rum
ming up L street from ith TO I'd streets
and those upon the hotel grounds are in
another; those running along a part Of 81
stIeet and UP the streets west from IL In
another and other small groups of lights In
other independent circuits. One night one
or more OF these circuits will be switched
in, oftener only one; consequently one small
part Of the place is lighted and the rest Of
US are left In darkness.
Il have coulectured that, inasmuch as the
lighting dynamos are dependent upon the
same steam boilers as the street railway
for steam supply. the difficulty may be that
the steam plant is insufficient to amply
supply both, and that economy Is used In
expending for light, that power for the
railway may not be diminished. II that Ia
the case. speaking for myself. and believe
for many Others. I most respectfully pray,
take down the WIRES lay the old-fashioned
gas pipes. set up some substantial gas fx-
lures and allow US 10 have the old-fashioned
plebeian gas lights and have them regularly,
rather than look expectantly night after
night for aristocratic electricity and almost
never get IL. As taxpayers, however, we
respectfully claim. and insist upon Il. Light
OF some kind"

tiSrs with beginnings far grander and aims
far holder, with far stronger apparent pow
er and much more careful organization
which have been found On trial not to be
ne eded, and have died quickly out of exist
ence and almost out of memory. There is
only one organization, ore society of men,
OF which we may be isureIthat IT shall last
as long as the world does and that Is the
church of which our Lord has assured us
that the gates of bell shall not prevail
against 1t. and in which He has promised
that the blessed sacrament of His body and
blood shall be until He come" But the
best, the purest, the strongest of the spe-
cial societies or bodies which may arise
within 1t will last only so long as God shall
need them; only so long as He finds work
for them to do, or wants them for warning.
God may choose our seemingly least import
ant or promising efforts for prolonged ex-
istence and He may crush with sudden
termination those we think most important
most powerful, most full of promise. But
speaking within the limits of human fore
sight and probability, certain things seem
necessary for promise of prolonged organic
existence In any religious organization.
There must be a definite and sufficient pur-
pose. There must be a definite and faithful
devotion to that purpose, and there must
be a definite and positive organization,
fitted to accomplish that purpose.
There must be harmonious relation with the
working and the authorities of the church.
May l ask You to think of these points

Twelve hundred voices took I'D the re-
frain, and such a burst Of melody went up
as is rarely heard IN any church. But even
this could not drown the sweet voices OF the
strong, they scared above the heavier

was a special feature Of the service, and
not the least delightful part was a solo by
Miss Cuthbert Buchner, who sang for the
first time In this church, although she will
hereafter be connected with the Epiphany
choir. She is from New Orleans, where she
was a member Of Rev. DR.. McKim's church
when he had q charge there, before he came
to Washington.
The Bishops Address.
The regular morning service of the Epis-
opal Church, somewhat shortened, was
read, and then Bishop Paret began his ad-
and eloquentIy worded effort, and was lis
tened to with the very closest attention.
He referred briefly to the history Of the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew, and at greater
length to it's aims and purposes. He char
acterized the very simplicity Of Its aim as
one of it's greatest elements Of strength--to
bring young men into the church. From
this he welt on to tell Of the possibilities
for greater usefulness ready for the brother
hood.
The bishop said:
must, first of all, thank you, dear
brethren, as brotherhood, and as its in
dividral members, for your kindness in
&: anting my request that this convention of
the Brotherhood Of St. Andrew should be
held in the diocese of Maryland, and In this
city of Washington. The hearts of all
church PEOPLE here are warm toward you.
1 pray that your own work may be greatly
strengthened by your deliberations and ac-
tion. And am sure that the church work
and life in this city and diocese will be
stimulated by your edrnestness and zeal.

Question.
PARIS, October 1.-THE Matin publishes
an interview with Mr.. Campbell Banner
man, the British secretary for war; who is
now in Paris. In which he is quoted as say
ing:
out Of the question"
Regarding Egypt, Mr.. Campbell-Bann
man remarked:
THE British occupa ton Of Egypt is only
temporary. The Marquis of Salisbury and
Lord Rosebery have both openly stated
this TO be the case. But the evacuation of
Egypt will be possible only when 1t is GER
tain that the country Is strong enough to
manage its own affairs. Egypt must be de-
Tended until then, In the interests OF civili-
zation."

They Pulled the Spikes From the
Rails md Planned a Disaster.

DENVER, Col, October 11.-Soon after
midnight a bold attempt was made seven
miles south of Denver to wreck an east
bound Santa Fe passenger train for the
purpose of robbery, 1t is believed. Spikes
were pulled from the rails, and the engine,
baggage car, COACH chair car and sleeper
ran off on the ties. The damage was trifiiug
and no one was hurt, but the track will be
blocked five hours. The ground of the rob-
berry theory is that man called at South
Denver early in the night and intima I'd
that the train was to be wrecked and
Ell. Orlers were given for 1t to proceed
slowly, but II was not supposed that the
attempt would be made so near the city,
and the train was running at a speed Of
eight miles an hour. There is yet no clue
to the miscreants.

ILLNESS OF THE ANEER,
Report Sent From the Capital of

SlMLA. India, October ia private let
ter received here from Cabul, the capital of
Afghanistan, says that the ameer, Abdur
Itahman Khan, is seriously Ill. Much sick
ness has been recently reported at Cabul.
In view of the complications which have
arisen in the far east and the fact that
England has been endeavoring to prevail
upon the ameer or his son to visit England
shortly the reported sickness OF the ameer
may be a ruse adopted in order to avoid
such visit at the present moment.

Future of the brotherhood.

I come back, then, to some of my more
definite questions Will those who may be
living in the year of our Lord 1850 find this
brotherhood still in existence? 1t is posi-
BILE but it IL not certain. This brotherhood
tegan very quietly and simply, and with no
great plans or mighty purposes. But organ
izations which began far more simply STILL
and with far less definite purpose, have
grown from plan to plan, from purpose to
higher purpose; have made for themselves,
or God has made for them, a permanent
place and part in the forward movements of
humanity. And tsnrn have been organiza-

for the lasting and growing success of your

What will be its relation to the church?
What its history? Its fruits? What will 1t

that it is a long time for looking forward.
For myself, brethren take with absolute
literalneSS and absolute faith our Lords
clear words, when He said: "Of that day and
that hour knoweth no man, no, not the an
gels which are in heaven" 1t may be that
before the year j have named there will
have been the day of His appearing, the
great day of the Son of Man. Or If the
earth be still rolling on, peopled now with
souls still looking forward to His coming,
for most of us, at least, our part in it will
have been closed. Very few Of US here pres
ent today will then be living. None, ii is al
most certain, will be workers. The young
man Of twenty-five today. If then living, will
be a weak old man, lettering veteran of
eighty; and the most youthful will have
passed the line where gladly give up to
younger hands and brighter ambitions the
realities and responsibilities Of active work
and care. Why then should we trouble our
selves about that distant future? Why take
thought for the morrow? Why anticipate
what will then be the duties and responsible
ties of others?Why not simply and trustfully
go on with our own immediate tasks; do our
own immediate duties; Live in the living

Convention Opened.

Immediately after the service at the
church the delegates proceeded in a body
TO Metzerctt Hall, where the business ses-
sions of the convention are being held. This
feature of the days program was neces-
sarlly delayed somewhat, as it was nearly
noon when the religious exercises were
over, so that it was quite l215 o'clock
when the convention was formally called
to order.
In the absence of President HouGhteling
the convention was called to order by AIR
G. Harry Davis OF Philadelphia. the first
vice president of the brotherhood. Mr..
Davis had in his hand a policeman's baton,
which, he said, every one would recognize
as an emblem of supreme authority. in
few witty words he explained the abb
senCe of the president, and then called fer
hymn, asking every one to sing as best
he could, some badly ami others less
badly, and those In the gallery can carry
the high notes.
THE Son Of God goes forth to war"
This was the first line OF the opening
hymn, and IL was sung with a vim and
ferVor betting such gathering, for as the
church had been, the building was crowded
to its fullest capacity. Every seat in the
body Of the hall, as well as in the gallery,
was occupied when the exercises were COM

Prayer was then offered by Rev. Dr.
Morgan Dix of New YCIk, after which Mr..
John w. Ross, president of the board of
Commissioners delivered an address of
welcome to the delegates on behalf of the
District. Mr.. Ross is often called upon to
deliver addresses of welcome, but evea he
does not often do as well as he did this

the Christian religion, which knows no geo
graphical lin its or boundaries, SO that the

He spoke of the work of the brothe -hoyd

crime, to spread the truths of religion and
to make good citizens of the land. He
looked upon the wonderful! spread of this
organization, and of kindred organizations,
as one OF the most hopeful signs of the
times, for IL shows an awakening of in

they would carry away with them only the
