Fourteen Cars Thrown from tho Trsck.
Last evening serious wreck occurred on
the Pennsylvania railroad short distance
west of the large iron bridge over the Con-
estOga which is situated about . mile east
of this city. About twenty minutes past
seven o'clock, engine 254 with q train of
freight cars were running east when An
axle on coal car broke. Fourteen cars,
all of which were loaded with
coal, were thrown from the track.
Seven of the cars were broken
to pieces, and the coal was spilled in every
direction. The Columbia accommodation,
which reaches this city at 7:2O, had arrived
before the accident occurred, and Harris
burg express. which follows closely behind
it, was stopped by Ambrose O'Donnell
who tagged it in time to prevent an acci-
dent. Immediately after the wreck oc-
Cured the wreck trains stationed at Parkes
burg and Columbia were telegraphed for,
They soon arrived and the men at once
went to work to clear up the track. A
passenger train was run from Dillerville
to the place of the wreck and the passen
gers for York and Columbia were trans
ferrcd to it. The north track was cleared
at 80 this morning, and then oil passen- |
ger and freight trains were enabled to 60
west. The south track was not cleared |
until o'clock this morning, and all east |
ern bound trains were delayed until that |
lime.
No one was injured by the wreck; al
,hough there was~a brakeman on one of
he cars, which jumped the track, he sue
,eeded in escaping unscratched.

SENATOR CONKLING seems very likely
to get majority Of the Republicans of
the New York Legislature to go into a
caucus to nominate senators !; but when
this is done the situation will be the same
as it was when Cameron got the ma
jority of Pennsylvania members into
caucus minority will stay out, suffi-
cient in numbers to defeat an election.
And in New York this minority ,arrayed
on the side of the administration and
having its support, may be exp9ted to
hold out as effectually as the Pennsylva-
mia minority did. There seems no pos
sibility Of Conkling's election, except in
an arrangement with the Democrats,
and thalis most improbable since their
manifest policy is to keep their hands off
and adhere to their own nominations.
There is no possibility at all of a Demo-
cratic union with the anti Conkling
element. Mr.. Conkling would be pre-,
ferred to any Republican by the Democ.
racy. Not only because his presence in
the Senate would distract his party
and his strength keep it from unity,
but mainly because he is known to
be a strong opponent of monopOlies OF
every kind and this is the issue upon
which the Democratic party is preparing
to stake its life. Ex-senator Eaton ex-
presses the general Democratic senti.
ment when he declares for Democratic
non-interventiOn between Conkling and
Garfield but never for Garfield if side:
have to be taken.

THE 0RDkR OF DEACONEss.
The Dls0ussion Of is In the Reformed
Synod.

The Disousoaon Of iS In the Reformed
The recent meeting of the Gsneral Synod
of the Reformed church in TiAin, Ohio,
was enlivened by spirited discussion of
the proposed establishment Of the order of
deaconess, which was precipitated by a
weighty paper by DR.. Kniest and by the
urgency of the German element for the in.
stituti0n of the order.
In the course of the debate Rev. Cyrus
COrt, in answer to q suggestion for post
p0nement of the subject, argued that the
old mustard seed parable which has COW
cred SO many sins Of procrastinatiOn does
not fit the case. We need mast or a
plank for ship. We do not plant an
acorn and wait a century, but take an oak
already grown, and devote it to needed
use. We stand on shoulders of ancestors
and benefit by the labors of other. This
deacOness question is not a new question.
It was an institution of the early church,
recognized in the word of God and by the
sixteenth century reformers, aud more re-
Gently by Evangelical Professionalism.
Fifteen years ago DR.. Harbaugh published
an exhaustive article on the deaconess
question. It has been discussed repeat
edly, and it is an insult to the intelligence
of the Reformed church to say that go
out of 1000 members have given no
thought to the subject. There is need for
directing the activity of tho female men,
bers of the church into proper Christian
channels, such as the Office Of deacOness
will provide.
Rev. Koplin said the remarks just made
were very broad the committee found
different views prevailing and thought it
best to let the church think and pray over
the deaconess question three years before
it undertakes to define the nature of the
deaconess Office.
DIR. Welker said the General Synod did
decide that the deaconess was an Office in
in the early church. All that this COM
mittee was appointed to do, was to set in
motion the work of introduction, by de-
vising practical plan. There is great
need or directing and regulating the
female activity of the church in the right
channel, instead of letting it run wild.
There is large amount of zeal running
in wrong channels and wrong directions at
present. The church has suffered by put.
ting off pressing wants, such as prompt
preparation of proper liturgies, etc., and
this is another move in some backward
direction.
After further remarks by Revs. Tugh,
DR.. Good, Keiffer, Titzel, Kniest, ETC.,
the report of the committee was adopted
as follows:
"Resolved: That in the judgment Of
this committee no plan for the introduce
tiOn into the Reformed church for the
Office of deaconess is at present called for,
or possible beyond the general circulation
among our ministers and people of the
valuable paper prepared on the subject by
Rev. j. B. kniest, and asking for this the
careful attention and prayerful consider.
