TO the south track to avoid it. AT the same
moment a 'helper' engine came upon him
from the west, ''tender' foremost, the APP
proach of which he had not noticed and did
not hear. There is a short curve at this point,
and the engineer says that as his engine round
ed the curve he saw Governor Thomas walk
ing on the track, with his arms folded behind
him, and his head bent in a meditatve mood.
1t was too late to give an alarm or check the
speed of the engine, and in a moment it struck
him in the back, knocking him about twenty

DIR. storrs ON the Council

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Rev. DR.. Storrs saws
he knows of no direct movement for an indie
pendent convention of Congregational minis
tiers to try the Beecher case and to consider the
status of Plymouth church in the denomina-
ton. He says a convention to consider the
matter would be foreign to Congregational
usage, but he supposed there was way in
which the church could take the subject up.
He had no knowledge that anything of the
kind was contemplated, yet believed that Dr.
Bartlett had expressed the sentiment of a great
manv CongregatonaliSts in the West and be-
lieyed their views were growing. He thought
an unfortunate state of affairs of Plymouth
church existed. He had been inclined to take
part in the mutual council, hoping that the
kaotty subject would be untangled. He says
he of course advised Mrs. Moulton, at her re-
quest upon what course sne should pursue, but
he never passed Judgment upon the merits of
Mrs. Moulton's case, nor questioned her as to
the truth of her testimony. He could not
understand why Plymouth church should object
to himself and Dr. Buddngton being in the
mutual council, unless Mr.. Beecher's supporters
things which the other members of the council
might be ignorant of. After they had been
assailed, there was no recourse but to with
draw
Plymouth church has said since that it
showed no unwillingness TO go on with it, even
with himself and DR.. Buddington< but this
sentiment was not so construed by Mrs. Moul-
ton s committee.
He did not know whether to ascribe the
failure of the council to the overcraftiness of
Mr.. Sherman, sPlymouth's misconception Of
the true situation, or Plymouth desire to force
failure.
