MONTEREY, n. L., Nov. II, '95.
To the DAILY LIGHT:
Last Sunday there was an cleo
tion held in the city for the cleo
ton of city officers. The Don
Carlos Ricardi was reelected
mayor.
Senior P. Piazzini, a prominent
merchant OF this city, and the
agent for manufacturing estab.
lishnent in Ohio, presented the
great Archbishop Juanito Lopez
with two large bells for the new
tower ION the cathedral. Men
were put to work at once to put
the bells in their place, and before
this reaches the readers OF the
DAILY LIGHT their silvery notes
will be heard for several blocks
away calling saints and sinners to
repentance or may be to the other
side Of Jordan.
AS the cathedral is the church
that the elite of Monterey go OF
worship in, it is usually crowded
Sundays and church holidays. On
Mondays the parents of young
babies take them to it to be chris.
tened, and frequently there are
more than the three score and ten
taken.
At l 80 p. m. Tuesday the 18th,
General Hipolito Charles, ex.gov-
ernor and one OF the most progress
sive citizen, of the state of Goa
hula, laid the keystone over the
main archway OF the show window
in the first story of the two-story
brick and marble building that
Mrs. Santigo de Belden is having
erected on the cornor OF De Mier
and ZaragoZa streets.
There was a number of promin-
ent citizens present to witness the
laying Of thu keystone that birds
the arch Of the largest show win
dow in the city il not in the re-
public.
General Charles paid a hand
some tribute to Mrs. Belden, who
has laid the foundation for a struc.
ture that will be an honor to her
and an ornament to the city. /
would suggest that the following
monogram be engraved upon the
cap stone: Enterprise, energy
and example, as they represent
what she has done since the death
Of her husband, Hon. Santiago
Belden, the progressive mayor OF
Nuevo Laredo Tamanlipas.
This building will be the third
when finished) brick building
that she has erected in Monterey
since she moved here three years
ago. The first two were built OF
Monterey red brick and trimmed
with Topo Chico black marble
and they are a monument to hel
as business woman and an orna,
ment to the city.
The building OF which General
Charles had the honor OF laying
the keystone on the 18th, is built
OF Monterey red brick, and the
fou ndation, corners and arches arc
trimmed with gray marble that
was quarried from the brawls OF
the Sierre Madre at the terminus
OF the Monterey Mineral Bell
Railroad south of the city.
Now fellow citizens-MeXicans
you who have the capital and car
afford to build, take hold and carry
forward the good work that Mrs
Santigo de Belden has inaugurateC
in your city; goto work and re.
model and rebuild. What / con
ceive is that sheis destined in tn,
near future to become the greatest
manufacturing city in the repub
lie and the Pittsburgh of Mexico
| L must congratulate Mrs. Belder
for inauguratiug the movement t
remodel and rebuild your city
