Residents of the neighboraoo 1 have protasted against the apparent carales3aes3 of the company, and have appealed to thi authorities. but with no effect. There were nearly a hundred men who bad been em. - ployed in thi tunnel about an hour when an . alarm came or a premature ezolouon. There was a panic at once, but before anyone had time to save himself the earth shook with the explosion of dynamite and the surface of the ground in the vicinity of the tunnel rose in the. air. scattering the * fragments of the unfortunate persons near and the debris of the tunnel in every direction.

' When the explosion occurred all tho work men were in t.ie tunnal except Roccj, whc was placed in charge of the dynamite at the head o* the tunnel. He was blown tc pieces. None of the men in the tunnel were injured. The cupola of Sc. Mary's Roman Catholic Church on Vernon avenue and Fifth street was smashed if to pieces by the concussion. Work on the tunnel has been progressing about two months. The city, it is said, ha; been warned time and again of the danger attending the work, but no action was takes (or the protection of the residents of the neighborhood against a disaster of this character. The fire.' which at first set the brick builduhi? soon extended to the adjoining I ones, whose walls had been warped anc cracked by the forca of the explosiou, and they are now la imminent daaeer of falling. The tenants are supposed to hare escaped with safety. In the building which was nearest the tunnel was the po3tofflce. When the shock occurred tons of debris fell in this part of the structure and completely buried the mails. They were at once removed to No. 89 Borden avenue, where a temporary oSce was established. Hundreds of people, attractei t> the place by the explosion, aide 1 tha fireman in rescuing the wouaded. Wagons of all kinds were used in conveying the maimed p?ople to their homes an I to St. Join's Hospital. All of the doctors in the city hastened to 1 the scene.

The famine in North Finland is increasing, and there is a movement in Sweden to renew the subscriptions of last year for the # lid of the starring; Finlanders. Although :ne iamine is ragtag m xvumuiu ua nwijr, y fit the Finns, on account of their old attachment to Sweden, look to the Swedes ? rather than to the Russians for assistance. Many villages are snowbound, and it is [eared that the sufferings of the people are v ntease, as they have no means or breaking through the great drifts on account of the t weakness of themselves and of their cattle, o [t is feared that whole communities have perished, as nothing has been beard from them for a number of davs. c Owing to the hardiness of the Finns it ia hoped, however, that the famine has not been so destructive of life as many appre- v bend. It is believed that the survivors will a abandon the country by wholesale during 1 the coming sprine and summer and remove to some part of North America where they t will have a better chance to maintain them- li selves. t PT P A QTTPP P A T?TVn'RfiWN"Pn o <. ijuau uuu i au x & vjuiv n 11 u v E A.

I c When completed this cathedral will be one >.* the most magniflcent and costly sacred itructures iu America. The ceremonies were held under & tent, vhich the severity of the weather made lecessary, erected in the shape of a cross. Che day was particularly appropriate for he laying of the corner stone as it is known n the church calender as the day of St. lohri the Evangelist. Tbe corner stone btool in the central quare of the tent nnder a peaked roof wenty feet high. Around it was built a jlatform four feet high on which were bishop Potter, the visiting bishops, the ;lergy of the diocese and prominent invited juests. The platform could accommolate exactly 1012 persons and just that number >f tickets were issue i. Inside the tent was a steam-heating plant, ind ten radiators raais cue temperature :omfortat>l?.

Description ot the Edifice. The idea of rearing a great Protesting cathedral in America, according to tle NcW York Advertiser, was first conceived in 187 by the late Bishop Horatio Potter, an uncle ot the present Bishop. Whea, in 1836, Bishop Horatio Potter lay dying, but little 1^ -' "~ ^* ' T3 IATHEDRAL OP ST. JOHN THE DIVINE had been done, and only nine of the original sevsnteen trustees were Urine. Those nine men were sum mo tied to the bedside of the dying Bishop, and were pledged by him to go on with the work. With the elevation of the present Bishop Potter to his hizh office work began anew, and over 11,000.003 has already been collected for building the cathedral besides the 1830,000 paid for the three city blocks in the centre of which the e<iifice will stand. This property, lying between 110th and 118th street^ Amsterdam avenue and Morningside Dri re, was formerly owned by the Lealce and watts Orphan House. 1c is the highest ground on Manhattan Island, and overlooks thS country for many miles. As a result of the prizes offered for the best designs for the catheirai, the leading architects of the country submitted plans. The design of Heinsand Lafarge was chosen, and George L. Heins was declared the architect. The catheiral, which is of the round arch Gothic type, with modifications, will take about twenty years to build and will cost about $10,003,000. The first part of the edifice to be completed?the choir? will take several years to finish, and will cost $1,000,000. It will seat about twentyfive hundred people anl will be used for worship during the completion of the remainder of the work. The finished building will seat between ten anl twelve thousand people. In it will be seven chapels, in which, every Sunday, the Gospel will be preached in seven foreign languages to nonKn^liah-sp-akia? wjr3bip3ra. The Cathedral will be 520 feet in length, 293 feet wide through the transepts and the height of the central tower will be 445 feet, i'ha wldta of the main front will be 103 feet, the height of the front .gable 161 feet, of the j front tovrera 248 feet, of the flanking towers 158 feet, and of the interior of the dome 253 , feet.

A battle was fousiht, a few days azo, near Las Animas, Mexico, east of Guerrero, between 300 regular Mexican soldiers and 250 revolutionists, in which thirteen soldiers were killed and many wounded, and the Mexican troops routed. Several of the revolutionists were also killed and a larga nun ber wounded. The revolutionists were commanded by General Estrada and the Mexican troops by General Garcia. Captain Garcia, of the Mexican militia, has arrived in New Laredo, opposite Laredo, Texas, with several of the wounded Mexican regulars. The town of Guerrero was in danger of being captured by the revolutionist!}. T^e ' peoole on the Mexican side are represented as flocking to the standard of General Estrada because of his victory at Las Animas. The revolution is'assuming a more serious aspect than it was thought it would at ttrst. There will be work for all the United States troops that the Government can sand to that section, for they will be needed to protect the interests of Americans.

The silver trowel and other implements used by Bishop Potter in laying the corner stone of the Cataedral were presented by Tiffany & Co. They consist of a trowel, mallet, level and square, and the materials used in making them were sterling silver and golden ebony; the latter selected from the choicest produces of t jo California for* est.', and remarkable for the beautiful goldlike veins running through the .wood. The principal piece, the trowel, is of sterling silver with ebony handle.. The engraving of the inscription on the face of the trowel is an appropriate text, and a piece of art work in itself. The mallet is of golden eoony with plain silver mounting*. The level, which is fifteen inohes long, is also of golden ebony, while the spirit tube is set in i sterling silver, the square is a solid piece of silver modeled after ,a regular mason's M?U3rO} iribU au uuo WiiOOw LUUIMIU uiuukiwwa Tue entire set is incased in a handsome oak chest, size 17x16 and OX inches deep.
