at once arose from his seat in the car and
walking to the door stepped out upon the
platform. TIC train at this point runs
very fast. The actions of the man were
noticed by Mr.. q. A. Jeffries, tho we'll
known engineer, who was coming home
as passenger on the train. Mr.. Jeffries
followed Castor out of the car, but
was unable to find him ON the platform.
He told the conductor that he believed the

at the point where the man was believed
to have jumped of, discovered him. He

AT THE METHODIST.

Rev. W. G. Robinson breaches his Last Ser.
mon.
At the Duke street Methodist church
last evening Rev. w. G. Robinson deliv-
cred his last sermon before his Lancast II
congregation as their pastor, as he is to be
assigned to another charge by the confer
ence that meets in this city this week.
Mr.. Robinson used as his text Thessa-
lonians, 5th chapter. 2Sth verse "The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you. Amen"
The reverend gentleman began by say.
ing that this was the apostle Paul's bene
diction to the church of tho Tessalonians,
and then spoke of Paul as driven from
place to place by persecution, privation
and bondage in his ceaseless desire to
save souls. Mr.. Robinson then traced
briefly the outline of the Introduction
of Christianity into Europe by the early
apostles, and showed how important at the
time of Paul and Silas factor in the dis
seminatiOn of Christianity was the church
of the Thessalonians. The varied signifi
canoe of the word "grace," contained in
the text, was then mentioned and formed
the ground work of the reverend gentle.
mans sermon. It has in different places
in the Bible totally different meanings,
but as used in the text by Paul it compre-
hends q benediction of all the blessings of
life, among which Christianity is the first
and all others but accessory to it. 1t was
pointed out how stupid it is for peo-
ple to believe that in order to be a
Christian one must sit with sullen
and sanctimonioas look, and thrust aside
all that is beautiful, wonderful and SUBJ
lime on earth. Tho speaker believed that
the sunshine and the innumerable beauties
of this world are to be enjoyed and felt as.
sured that Christians should share the Gis.
tinc:ions and honors of society. This word
grace " also comprehends knowledge
of Immortality. The assertions of blatant
iDfidels were contrasted with the assur
ances the Christian has for tho future
happiness of his soul. The reverend gen
tleman closed his sermon, which was
very impressive and interesting one, with
touching words relative to his work while
among the people of Lancaster and the
end of it which was soon to come.

DREADFUL EXPLOSIONS.

A " Lodging shen' in . Railroad Camp
A lodging shell'' at the Broemville
Wood Camp, at the terminus of the Black
Hills and Fort Pierre railroad, in Dakota,
was destroyed by fire at midnight of Sat-
urday and eleven men were burned to
death. The building was ore.story
structure with loft, in which the men
slept, and it is supposed the fire was caus.
ed by the ignition of some kindlings left
near the stove. There were Is men in the
house, "A of whom slept in the loft, and
four of these escaped with some burns,
by jumping from tho single window under
the roof. One Of the men who slept on
the ground floor was burned to death by
the rapid spread of the flames. The VIC
Tins were James Chalmers, Thomas Fin
less. r. c. Wright, Lewis Hanson, Peter
Hanson, A. Tennecliffe, Harvey Wood,
W. 81. Andrews, Charles Hammontree,
Fred. T. Peters and Samuel Hays. Two
of the men who escaped will have to sub
NIT to amputation of the legs.
A terrible boiler explosion occurred at
Locust spring colliery, situated near
Locust Gap, about 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. A nest of eight boilers were in
operation at the above mine and we're in
charge of John Noble, the fireman. "A
small engine supplies the boilers with
water, which Noble was also attending
during the temporary absence of the
engineer, Charles Richmond. A young
son of the inside boss came to the boiler
house and was engaged in conversation
with Noble, who walked from the boilers
to the engine to do some work. Immedi-
ately afterward the explosion of one of
the boilers occurred. Its report was very
loud and was heard for miles around.
Large crowds of people soon collected
about the boiler house, which was q mass
of ruius. The building was large frame
structure. The roof. was hurled several
hundred yards away, while parts of the
exploded boiler were scattered in every
direction. A number of other boilers were
badly displaced by the conclusion. Much
excitement prevailed as to the whereabouts
of the two men who are known to have
been about the boiler house when the
explosion took place. Search was imme.
diately made and Neble was found under
a pile of bricks, badly scalded and other.
wise cut and bruised by having been struck
with flying missiles. His injuries are not
considered fatal. Richmond was blown
quite long distance, and, strange to say,
is not believed to be fatally injured.
Different theories are advanced as to the
cause of the explosion. Noble claims that
the pressure of steam, as indicated by the
steam guage, was very light. The boilers
are frequently examined and everything
was apparently in good condition. The
debris Is being cleared away and thugs
put in shape preparatory to resuming
work in the morning.

THE CATHOLIU SERVICES

Forty Hours Devotion q. Sc. Msry's.
The devotion of the Forty Hours began
yesterday morning at st. Mary's Catholic
church with high mass at z o'clock, the
spacious edifice being we'll filled with a
devout assemblage. The affairs wers
handsomely adorned with flowers, the
tasteful arrangement of which reflected
great credit upon the ladies' who had the
decorations in charge. Large numbers
received holy communion, the men,
bers of st. Bernard's beneficial So
ciety approaching the altar in a
body. At the conclusion Of the mass a
procession of the Blessed Sacrament took
place, the members of the Angel sodality,
composed of thirty little girls wearing
white wells and carrying bouquets, leading
the way. Next came fourteen little misses
of the Infant Jesus sodality, robed in a
similar manner, scattering flowers before
the Blessed Sacrament, which was borne
with imposing ceremonial under beauti-
full canopy, carried by four members of
St. Bernard's society. At the high mass
at 1890 o'clock Rt. Rev. j. F. Shanahan,
D. D., bishop of Harrisburg, delivered a
forcible sermon on the goodness of God as
illustrated in leaving his sacred body with
his children in the eucharist. He ad-
monished his hearers to take advantage of
the many opportunities offered them by
the church at this blessed season.
In the evening at 7:30 vespers and bene.
diction OF the Blessed Sacrament were
held, during which an eloquent sermon
was preached by Rev. Father Mcbride, of
Harrisburg, on the perpstuity of the
church, and it's survival of the many and
severe trials which have on all occasions
beset it. The devotion of the "Quarant
Ore or Forty Hours originated in Milan,
Italy, in 1924, the city being then reduced
to tho verge of destitution by disastrous
war which had just terminated. 1t took
it's name from the forty hours " devoted
at that time to prayer and modification by
the famished citizens and is commemora-
tive of the forty hours during which
the body Of our Lord remained in the sep
ulchre.
The masses to morrow will be at and 8
a. m, and vespers and benediction will
take place at 7:30 this evening and to-
morrow evening, at the latter of which
services the devotions will close. Rev.
Father Igo will preach this evening and
Rev. Father McDermott, of West Chester,
tomorrow evening.
