To become Sundayschool superintendent in
New York seems to require peculiar qualifica-
tons. AT a ministers meeting held in that city,
recently, one reverend gentleman protested
against what he alleged to be the custom of en-
gaging superintendent because they had money
and could run the picnics and excursions The
same singular and unreasonable pastor also
entered an objection to the entire system of pic
MICS soap-bubble parties, excursions. and all
other tangled adjuncts of Sundayschools.
These sentiments may be secretly approved by
some, but by the vast majority the modern Sun
day-school without picnic or Christmas tree
must be regarded much as home without a

THE Methodist General Conference refuses to
license women to preach, but the good bishops
and brethren reach out their arms, spiritually
speaking, of course, and draw the sisters of the
Woman's Missionary Society into closer com
munon with the church AT meeting of the
society, which was in session in Philadelphia
this week, it was announced that the mission
committee of the conference had prepared a re-
port, which would doubtless be favorably acted
upon, bringing the women's home and foreign
missionary organizations under the control of
and into more direct alliance with the church.
This announcement was received with applause
by all the earnest brethren in the audience The
meeting, which, by the way was one of the
largest gatherings drawn together by the Meth
odists during the session of the conference was
presided over by Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes The
reverend gentlemen who object to the appear
ance Of ordained women in the pulpit as being
contrary to st. Paul, evidently believe that the
saint in question had no reference to female
lecturers and missionaries whom they well
come with effusion. The distinction, however,
is too fine to be grasped by the unregenerate.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

About o'clock yesterday morning freight
an emigrant car occupied by section men
and other railroad employees who had been
summoned q day or two before to assist in
clearing the railroad track between Tunnel
ID and Truckee of snow. and were returning
to their various stations on the line of the
road. Express train No. l was expected
about that time from Sacramento on its way
East and No. had been instructed to side.
the siding, and brakeman was about to turn
the switch track walker named Rabbit
who happened along, in a spirit of sccommo-
datiou, turned the switch for him, and the
train passed in upon the side track. AS the
rear cars were about to change tracks, the
conductor jumped down to turn the switch
back SO as to open the main track for the
express. The track.wslker anticipated him,
however, and, through ovsr-zeal and nervous
ness, moved the switch too soon, the result
being that the forward trucks of the emigrsnt
car were running upon the side track while
the after truck was upon the main track. At
this point the snowshed is unusually wide,
and a row of heavy posts stands between
the main and SIDE TRACKS as an
additional support to the roof. The car un-
der the circumstances was forced into COLI
sion with these posts, and knocked down four
or five, the result being that the shed was
unable to support the immense weight of
about fourteen feet of snow upon it, and fell
in, its heavy timbers being crushed down by
the weight of the suow upon the emigrant
car, demolishing it. Two men were subse-
quently taken from the ruins dead, and five
or six injured more or less severely. The de-
ceased were taken to Auburn, and four of the
wounded brought to the Railroad Hospital
in this city yesterday afternoon. The killed
and injured are all Portuguese. An inquest
will be held at Auburn tomorrow. Tho
Coroner of Placer county has gone up t. the
scene of the accident to gain information.
