Judaism, teaching that woman was an
after thought in creation, her sex =
misfortune, marriage subordination
and maternity curse, are contrary to
the law of God as revealed in nature
and the precepts of Christ. One debat-

Church, Catholic, Episcopal, or Meth

be made Bishops and to ordain others

Shocking Result of a Family Sleigh-Ride-
The Father and One Child Killed, the
Mother Fatally Injured and the Remain
Ing Two Children BADLY Hurt.
MUNCY VALLEY, Pa, February 2l.-A ter

forty years, his wife, aged thirty-eight,
and three children named Mary, Henry
and Willie, aged respectively ff-
teen, twelve and eight, went out sleigh
ing in large two-horse wooden sleigh to
visit neighbors. On the way home, about
ten O'Clock, the horses took fright and ran
away, drawing the sleigh with them,
throwing the occupants out and drag
ging them for nearly 500 feet, when the
horses fell and were unable to 60 any
further. Other parties, in sleighs that
were coming in the opposite direction,
saw the accident, and stopped and rem.
dered assistance. 1t was discovered
that the fathers neck was broken and he
was dead, and one of the children,
Henry, had both legs cut off by a runner
of the sleigh, and died before medical aid
could be summoned. Mrs. Harberecker
was fatally injured, and the children,
Mary and Willie, were also badly hurt
about their bodies and head. The
dead and injured were taken to a neigh
boring farmhouse and medical aid sum-
moned. This morning the dead and
wounded were brought to their home,
followed by hundreds of people.
