CHURCH IMPRovENENT.-St.J Johns Episcopal
Church, at Waverley, is undergoing extensive
remodeling and improving, so as to much en-
large the seating capacity of the edifice. The
structure is built of stone and the rear portion
of it, including the chancel and vestry room,
has been demolished to make way for the addi-
tons. When completed the church will be
cruciform in outline, and the elegant organ,
which was recently donated to the congrega-
ton by 1. hewitt Steele, Esq., will be removed
from its present position, in the rear of the
church, to the north transept, where the choir
will sit. The pulpit will be placed in front of
the chancel near the nave. The chancel will
be lighted by the same beautiful stained window
as before, which is said by many persons to be
one of the finest windows in the country. The
pews of the transept will be of oak, to CORES
pond with the present furniture of the church.
The contract calls for its completion in Octo-
Der, but it is doubtful whether the church will
then be ready for occupancy.
The cost of these improvements, it is esti-
mated by the vestry, will reach about $4,000,
portion of which has already been subscribed,
and several liberal donations received from in :
dividuals in Baltimore not connected with the
congregation. When completed, st. Johns
Church will be one of the prettiest and most
tasty church edfices about Baltimore.

NEW FREIGHT DEPOT FOR THE N. C. R. R.
The Northern Central and Baltimore and Poto-
mac Railroad Companies have just purchased
for an additional freight depot the lot of ground
on the northeast corner of Monument and North
streets, belonging to Talbot Denmead & Co..
and on which the iron foundry of this firm is
located. The lot containing the boiler house
of thu firm, corner of Holiday and Monument
streets, has likewise been purchased by the
Northern Central for the same purpose. The
lot on which the foundry is located contains
ESQ feet on North and 200 feet on Monument
street, and binds on the Falls. The boiler
house likewise binds on the Falls, and is 14Ox6C
feet. The price at which the purchase wat
made is stated to be $4,000. The fast increas
ing business of the Northern Central and Balti
more and Potomac Railroads has made this
purchase necessity, as in the old quarters the
companies have been much cramped for space
1t will also be remembered that according to 9
contract now in force the Western Maryland
Railroad Company transports passengers and
freight from Calvert Station. The contract
with the Canton and Union Railroad Companies
will further increase the business of the com
panes.

Tur TruprpANcp MEETING held at Towsor

The TEMPERANCE MEETING, held at Towson-
town M. E. Church, on Sunday night last, was
addressed by Rev. DIR. Bates and by the pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Richardson. Other meetings
will be held here, the time for which will be
announced hereafter. 1t was stated during
the meeting that there were twelve drinking
places in Towsontewn. This is mistake, as
there are only five Immediately in the town,
and we doubt if there is town in the State,
the size of this, were there is so little drunk
enness, and where the Sabbath is more strict
ly observed. At every town on the different
roads leading out from the city whisky is dis
pensed on Sunday the same as during the
week, but not SO here, and we think our hotel
and restaurant men deserve great credit fer OBJ
serving the Sabbath as they do, and also for
not violating the laws of the State. An old
ty years ago scarcely Saturday night or Sun
day passed without there being three or four
fights in Towsontown Now we rarely hear Of
one on Saturday night, and never one on Sun
day. This certainly speaks we'll for the NOR
ais of our people.

NEW FREEDOM CAMP GRoUNDs.-Between l.
500 and 1000 persons from York, Baltimore,
Hanover, Gettysburg, Glen Rock, Shrewsbury
and all the stations along the road, assembled
at the New Freedom Camp meeting grounds on
the 5th. P. L. Wicbs, Esq, spoke to the as.
sembly in the morning and Rev. Q. Graves Of
Baltimore in the afternoon. Prof. Sanders Of
Baltimore played the organ and Prof. Robinson
the claronet with much sweetness, while the
Buell. family added interest to the occasion by
their singing. The Glen Rock cornet band and
the N. Freedom band discoursed excellent music
during the day. The grove in which the pic
mic was held is admirably suited for such pur-
poses, being cool, shady and large enough to
accommodate any number Of persons. Many
new tents have recently been put up, some OF
which contain two stories, which is quite coed
idea. The woods contains three pumps from
which ice cold spring water can be obtained at
any time free of charge. The occasion was one
of much interest and attracted large numbers
of people from the surrounding country, all OF
whom appeared highly delighted with their

DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB AN EXPRESS CAR
despatch from Terre Haute, Indiana, dated
July 9th, says:
Long Point, Illinois, on the Vandalia rail-
road, was the scene of q daring attempt at ex-
press robbery last night. The place is situa-
ted in the middle of dense wood, no person
living within mile and half Of the station.
Last night at midnight, when passenger train
No. S, bound east, conductor Fraley, and engi-
neer Milo Ames, IN charge, stopped at the wa
ter tank, TWO men boarded the engine, one
from each side, and ordered the engineer to
start the engine. The ngneer, after few
moments hesitation, Obeyed the order. After
the starting OF the train one of the robbers re-
marked, eve Will run the thing ourselves"
and Immediately both robbers fred at the en-
gineer, killing him, ipstantly. The fireman,
who was standing upon the tender, ran to the
rear OF the train to alarm the trainmen, he
having heard the conversation and compre-
hending the situation at once. While this was
taking place on the engine confederate ofthe
robbers had detached the Adams express car
from the cars in the rear.
The whole party of robbers then ran the train
to point about two miles from the station,
where they stopped, and proceeding to the door
OF the express car, demanded admittance. The
express messenger, Mr.. Burke, teld them he
was ready for them, and that if they entered
they would be dead men. The robbers then
commenced firing into the car, and the mes
senger says it seemed to him that there were
a dozen of them, as the shots came from all
sides. The conductor and trainmen seeing
the position of affairs, set about to pufsue the
robbers, but could find only one revolver
on the train. They however discovered two
soldiers armed with carbines, and with these
weapons the trainmen and soldiers started af-
ter the robbers. When they came up. to the
train all was quiet, the robbers having fed.
They found the dead body Of the engineer on
the floor of the cab. A freight engineer named
Jack Vandergrift happened to be on the train,
and he and the fireman ran the engine back
to the train and brought it in. The robbers
failed TO gain an entrance to the express car,
it being one Of the close kind, having no win
dows and very strong. Had they detached
the American express car, which was imme-
diatelY in the rear of the Adams express car,
as it is an open cssss Sling windows and doors,
not very strong.
The finding OF hammer used to knock out
the coupling-pin may serve possibly as clue
to the murderers. The trainnien speak n very
high terms of the pluck and courage displayed
by the express messenger Burke. There is in
tense feeling among railroad men over the
death OF engineer Ames, and should his MUIR
derers be caught it is very generally believed
that their prosecution would not cost the State
anything Several suspected persons are al
ready in custody, and there is reason to hope
that all the robbers will be caught. The rail-
road company offers 81 900 reward for their APP
prehenson.

FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-On Wednesday
morning last young man named Thomas Nc
earthly, brakeman on the Western Maryland
Railroad, and a resident Of Hampden village,
Falls road, was instantly killed near Boundary
| avenue bridge, about one hundred yards from
the tunnel. He was standing near the track
when passenger train was approaching and
desiring to go to the city he attempted to jump
on the platform Of the first car. He caught the
iron hand rail but was unable to lift himself
up, and in this position he was dragged con-
siderable distance, when from exhaustion he
was compelled to let 60 his grasp, and his body
fell between the cars. When the train had
passed along shocking sight was presented to
the eyes of the lockers, On one side of the
rail was the trunk and on the other side the
head reeking with blood. The remains were
carried to the tool house near by. Mccarthy
was young man of steady habits and of a
good character He with his brother was the
support of a widowed mother and six young

WooDsToCK ITEMs.-A correspondent of the
Ellicott City Times writes as follows: "Col. E.
B. CARING, quartermaster at Fort Sanders,
Wyoming Territory, who committed suicide at
that place on the 5Oth ult., by cutting his throat
from ear to ear, was former resident of the
Second District of Baltimore county in this
neighborhood, and is remembered by the resi-
dents of this section. Having received an ap-
pontment to West Point military academy
he left here when boy, and afterwards hon
orably graduated at that institution. Finan-
cial embarrassment, complicating his official
affairs, is assigned as the cause.
"On Sunday morning the Good Samaritan
Lodge of Good Templars attended the Quarries
church in body where sermon on the sub
ject of temperance was delivered by Rev. Mr..
Wright of the NJ. E. church. A great many
were present, and the Reverend gentleman s
remarks were listened to with marked atten-
ton. The Lodge wore their regalia, and pre-
sented neat appearance.
"On Tuesday Mr.. James Carey with six
horses drew stone weighing seven tons from
the Fox Rock Quarry to the railroad, which,
considering the road and the amount of motive
power used, is looked upon as a remarkable
piece of transportation. The stone, which was
over fifteen feet long and five feet and some in
ches in breadth, will be used on some public
work in Baltimore"
