LONDON. May 22.-The Times, this

Great Britain resisted the temptation
to recognize the South, thereby in-

abling an ally, and in fact. declared in
favor of the North; and il is now
misunderstood and accused of h0stiI-
ity and selfshness. Sir Francis

For nothing but our refusal of her
invitation to recognize the Southern
Confederacy saved the North from a

ates past 9 o'clock this morning, the easter
bound train on the Western Pacific railroad
composed Of eight cars including one sleep,

near San Leandro. Both trains were going
at the rate OF twenty miles an hour. The
engines are perfect wreck and the cars
smashed and driven through one another.
The Western Pacific train lett on prompt

the engineer had difficulty TO see any dis

Upon arriving at the switch where the
Western Pacific connects with the Aemeda
road, the train slowed and the switch. ten.

Alemeda train had passed answered An
right 60 ahead" Soon alter, the two trains
came together with a terrific crash. The
first passenger Car on the Western Pacific
was driven through, smashing the car. The
other cars are badly damage.
The number of killed and wounded is va
iously estimated at from 10 to 10 and from
30 to 30. 1t is impossible to obtain the
correct plumber at present.
The killed aud ROunded were mostly on
the Western Pacific train. When the cars
collided the passengers were driven together

great difficulty in getting the passengers
out of the ruins, aud many could not be ex-
ricated. The legs OF one man were amput =
ated before being released from the cars.
None OF the passengers in the sleeping car
were hurt. The badly wounded were sent
to Alemeda. Great excitement prevailed
during the day. The catastrophe has cast
gloom over the entire city. The an.
nouncement of the accident was read from

county who were particularly acquainted
with the late deceased, yet the writer hopes
to make this sketch interesting to many
readers of the ADVOCATE.
Reuben Carr was born in Rhode Island
on the Goth day of June, 1873. His fa-
ther, Caleb Carr, moved with his family to
Pennsylvania during Reuben's youth. He
was of large family, his fathers consists

died in 1911, leaving him with three
motherless children to stem life's tempestu.

Sarah Lakin, and in 1915 he moved from
Mount Pleasant and settled in the then
town Of Middlcsex, (about a mile from
where is now Potter Center). This journey
Of about two hundred miles occupied eleven
days of constant and persistent toll, as the
journey was made with an ox'team, he en-

Gilbert Sherer, drove the team. Here he
bought about .hree hundred acres Of land,
and tolled hard to sustain himself and fam

hold, where he bought large tract of land,
and as his children married they each were
given a piece of the land, and settled
around him. ! think his second wife died

he lived a consistent member until he was

his disease was of such a nature that he
suffered extremely, but he bore it patiently.
On the morning on the morning of the
18th of August, the grim messenger of
Death called for him, and found him calmly
sitting in his chair, ready and waiting to
