which probably superinduced a temporary attack
OF insanity, during which he took his life. In the
presence of q number Of witnesses Podmore
stepped upon the track, Immediately in front of
an approaching ireight train, which was running
slowly at the time. The engineer vigorously ap-
piled the whistle signal OF danger aud reversed

to plant himself more firmly in the centre
OF the track, his back toward the
locomotive, and MS head sufficiently turned SO
that he coulc note Its approach over his shoulder

TIE OLD WORTH CHURCH.

Inc oid fAiton street church has long been for
sale, but purchaser has been found. The land
cannot be sold, being held in trust and for some
years past all attempts TO lease the property have
failed. The daily noon prayer meetings. which are
written OF In all the rengious newspapers and
spoken OF by nearly all Christians, have long been
held in the church, but Of late years for the most
part in the chapel adjoining. In order to utilize
the land either side OF the old church. steps arc
now being taken for the erection OF stores both on
Fulton and Ann streets. The old church is to be
left standing and is to be remodelled and rear
entrances opened on both SIDES The organ is to
be removed In the rear OF the church, and the or
gan gallery, where peaied forth hall century and
more ago such sublime and sacred music, Is to be
transformed into SUNDAY school and conference
room. The audienee room Is to be speedily reno
waited and much beautified and win be made tho
permanent home OF the MONDAY prayer meetings.
The chapel on Fulton street, which has OF late
been most frequently used for the prayer meetings..
Is badly ventilated building, too small for tfe
accommodation OF the attendants at the meetings.

THE WORKING woMBN's ENTERTAINMENT.

The weekly enter tainment at the Women s
Educational and Industrial Institution in Tenth
street took place last evening and was even more
interesting than usual The parors were filed
with patrons OF the institution and
the young women for whose benefit and
pleasure the entertainments are designed.
The gathering was decidedly informal and
social There were but three prominent
actors during the entertainment. but they
were SO capable as to leave no chance for even
one more performer. Mr.. J. n. Pattison. the well
known pianist began the entertainment by play

the generous and h0mely sentiment of the Union
soldiers at the close OF the rebellion. 1t is work

Long Branch last week In aid OF the Working
women's Institution, and II was only conceived
when Mr.. Pattison heard that President Grant
was to be present at that concert. Mr.. Pattison
played numerous other pieces during the evening,
the last being "Icelands Mlllennial Hymn,n which
he played. Improvising variations upon it at the
same time, while he read the music from the
HERALD OF yesterday. The other contributors TO
the pleasures OF the evening were Mr. Gipson and
Mrs. Bronson. AS singer and as an elocutionist
