A VIHGhlA AFRICAN CHURCH

The African Baptist church, Richmond, Is said to
have a larger membership than any Baptist church
IN the world, except that Of Mr.. Spurgeon, in Lon
don. The house In which they worship, though old
AMI RECONSTRUCTED, ia capacous and Is regularly
thronged. Many strangers visiting the city attend
Christian service in that house. especially TO hear
the singing. correspondent of the Chicago
Standard writes:--
Last sabbath went TO the African church in this
city. Though the excessive heat would have Kept
many Of our Northern people at home yet the house
was crowded ana hundreds were compelled to wait
outside. Passing round TO the back Of the building
we succeeded In entering the house By rear door
and finding seat by the side OF Chief Justice Chase
and one Of virginla's ex-Governors, Wise. we made
ourselves as comfortable as the heat and pressure
would allow. While waiting for the service the time
was occupied with singing, full Of nenscness and
pathos, in which the whole congregation joined with
q power which may DC felt but cannot be described.
After the opening service the pastor proceeded
directly to the administration Of baptism the ser
mon being necessarily. given mp. The scene was
such one as never before witnessed aud may never
forget. Two hundred and fourteen converts were
baptized, protesting fith In risen saviour. Their
evening prayer meetings would astonish us at the

Particular Of the Occurrence.

correspondent OF the Boston Herald gives the
following particulars Of the recent disaster on the
Shore Line Railroad mention OF which has already
been given In our columns:-
on saturday afternoon, as the express train on
the Shore Line road, which reaches this city from
New London a. halfpast four was passing just east
OF the stony Greek depot, the engineer, Jack Saun-
ders, discovered u few rods ahead n railroad rail
lying across the track. He Immediately whistled for
''down brakes" and reversed his engine, but the
train was too near to arrest its progress IN time and
the rail was struck, throwing the forward truck OF
the engine OF the track. The driving wheels still
remained on the rails and the engine passed on TO
the east end of the pile bridge, which Is located
few rods west OF the Stony Creek depot where
short piece Of rail, about three feet long. lying
upon The track, was encountered This threw
the engine entirely or the track. II made few
jumps across the ties and then plunged on the
south side of the bridge into the mud aud water fol-
lowed by the tender and baggage car. The engine
Immediately sank in the mud and now al that can
be seen of 1t is few feet OF the smoke stack. The
baggage car went or endways and now stands upon
end, partly sunk In the mud. The lrst passenger
car Just as the baggage car tipped on the bridge:
struck against the end Of II, savin9 In the end and
sides Of the AMI throwing splintcrs and bits Of
wood about the forward end. Mrs. ii. a.. Pratt, OF
Boston, but more recently Of Newport X. J., sat on
the llrst seat with little boy at the window. The
sides Of the car were broken IN close by the boy but
he escaped with no more serious injury than few
slight bruises and scratches about the face Ills
mother was thrown or the seat and had a severe
cash cut over her right eye and slight cut was made
under her chin. she also had her face and shou-
der bruised and OF her arms somewhat
sprained. on the opposite side OF the car lay a
Younger child asleep on the forward seat aroyind
whom was thrown shower Of spllnters, but without
harmng II IN the least. No other passengers were
injured, but oil were more or less shook up by the
shock.
The engineer, Just as his engine was about TO leap
from the bridge, jumped from II safely upon the
bridge: The fireman, Charles Emerson. remained
upon the tender and went of the bridge with H. In
the descent he was caught between the engine and
tender, and " was feared on saturday that he had
received dangerous injuries
Yesterday force OF men were set at work TO re-
pair the track. They entered staging at the side
when the staging fell, carrying down with it the

others we're injured.

Orders for currency from the country continue to
increase and the large amount going out created a
