TWO MORE COUNCILS.


Knights of COIumbus-A Memorable
 Ride a Dark Night.
 Riverside council No. 26, Knights of Co- lumbus, was instituted at Windsor Locks Sunday night, eighteen members being initi- sted in the order. The ceremonies were con- ducted by Grand Knight Mullen and Secre- tary Colwell, of this city, and Grand Knights Andrew Smith and Peter Chute, of Hartford. A large number from the Hartford councils attended the ceremonies, which were fol- lowed by collation..
 Another new council was instituted in Tarifville last evening.
 The Hartford Post says: About twenty five members of the local councils of the Knights of Columbus went to Windsor Locks Sunday afternoon to institute Riverside lodge of that place. They went by bus and just after dark they started on the return trip. The road was narrow with ditches on either side for some distance above Windsor and the dark ness was intense, relieved only by the flick ering glare of a lantern on the off side of the '1bus. Suddenly the nigh forward wheel sank into the soft loam, the horses plunged for ward, the vehicle was balanced in the air for an instant and then went over on it's side in the ditch. The rain had partly filled the large gutter, and into the dirty water several of the knights sank and there fioun- dered to the great amusement of those who had been more fortunate in their hurried flight. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, although several received bruises. After 8 short delay the bus was righted and the trip resumed. Hartford was reached at 10 o'clock ''@

FROM MIR. mOoDY,s SCHOOL.

The Evangelist Gets People out To
 Church.
 A correspondent says: A young lady whose home is in Bulgaria, recent graduate of Mr. Moody's school for girls in Northfeld, left New Haven 8 short time since to return to her Bulgarian home. She was visiting in the family of prominent New Haven gentle man for two or three weeks before her de- parture. She also visited with Madison friends for a few days. She goes to Bulgaria to engage in missionary work. She was prompted to come to America to study through the efforts of an American mission ary in Bulgaria, under whom she left her old faith and professed Christianity. She was four years at MT. Moody's school, and is a bright, intelligent young lady of about twenty -one and made most favorable impress sion upon New Haven people who were made acquainted with her as to her piety and qualifications for the work in which she is to engage.
 Mr. Moody while working abroad is bound to keep religious matters moving at home. During the services in the little white Con- gregational church at Northfeld the other Sunday, he said that the people were not making effort enough to get their neighbors to come to church. "WRy don't you bring somebody in your big wagong" said he, ad- dressing one well-to-do farmer by name. "Because my wagon is always filled from my own house, was the reply. MT. Moody at once said that he must have a wagon, one way or another, adding that he wanted to invest $25 in one himself, calling for other contributions. People in the audi ence added $100 more and at an afternoon service in Recitation hall on the seminary grounds $S0 was subscribed toward another wagon. Each one will be in charge each Sunday of driver, who will fill them with people living 8 long distance from church and carry them to and from the services Mr. Moody tells the Northfeld Congregationalists that they must begin enlarging their church at once. "Why, I'm going to have 200 more boys at Mt Hermon pretty soon," says he, in his convincing fashion. "You haven't got room for them now" It is also hinted that move will be made for new church in a different location before long.
