A LoeomotiveR Runs Into a street Car

CHICAGO, December 27.-A few min
utes before 7 o'clock this morning
stock yards car left o'Neil street for
the yards, with the usual crowd on
board. Three minutes later it crossed
the bridge over the river and slowly
went down the grade toward the tracks
OF the Chicago and Alton railroad.
The conductor ran ahead to the
tracks to see if any train was coming.
AS he looked he saw the st. LoHis
express dsshipg down toward the
crossing. He signalled the driver to
look out. The driver set the brake,
but slowly and surely the car slid
down the grade and on to the tracks.
The driver and conductor yelled to
the occupants of the car, but the win
dows were thickly coated with frost
and it was impossible to see out, and
the fifteen men and boys did not know
of the danger which was now close on
them. The engineer Of the train saw
the street car and blew the whistle.
II was impossible to stop the train,
and in another instant the engine
struck the street car. II was knocked
into splinters, and passengers were
thrown in every direction. Those
who Witnessed the accident rushed to
the crossing, expecting to see many
dead bodies. But happily no one was
killed. Four men lay on the ground
groaning in pain. They were picked
up and taken into a neighboring drug
store. A hasty examination was made
and then it was seen that, beyond a
few slight bruises, none of the men
had suffered injury. In the mean
time the train had been checked, but
after making sure that no one was
killed it proceeded into the city.

THE REV. Dr. H'GLYKN,
UNDER INDEFINITE SUSPENSION,

New YORK, December 2S.--The
World is at last enabled to state on
the very best authority that the Rev.
DR.. McGlynn is under iudefi ats sus-
pension, both IS rector aud priest.
A priest high in authority in the arch
episcopal diocese, and holding close
official relations with Archbishop
Oorrigsn, sad last night: The etste-
msnts that Dr.. McGlynn has been sum-
moned to Rome to defend himself are
ali at fault DR.. MctIlynn has been
summoned to Rome for censure, and
the only thing left for him to do is TO
recant. The idea of the Catholic
Church advocating the abolition of
property in land is preposterous. The
Catholic Church does not advocate the
abolition Of property in land, and will
not do 30. That is commu nism, and
the church has pronounced against
communism. Besides, 1t is absurd to
say that the abolition of property in
land will remedy the evils of poverty.
Its effect, On the contrary, will be 10

DIR. McGlynn intends to do about going
to Rome, but nay own opinion is that
he is not going. As to latitude, there

had written TO Rome submitting
any good reason why he cannot 60
Immediately, he will be granted q
reasonable extension OF time, but do
not believe he hes done this. be-
lieve he has simply ignored the whole
matter. The fact iF, that DR.. Nc
Glynn's whole attitude for many years
has been one of antagonism to the
policy of the Catholic Church. He
first opposed the establishment of
parochial schools as un-Americsn and
as antsgonistic to the public school
system. Now the establishment of
parochial schools is designed for the
purpose of teaching religion in the
schools, which we cannot expec. 10
do in the public schools, as they are
designed for children OF all denomina-
tons. Then, again, when the ques-
ton of depriving the Pope OF his
temporal power came up, he rather
took position against the Pope in a
matter which, to say the least, was not
exactly Catholic. And, finally, when
this agitation against property in
land arose, ne took stand against the
church again. Now, the Archbishop
has dealt very leniently with DR.. Nc
Glynn, and given him every oppor-
tunity to set himself right. But he
declines to set himself right, and as
the matter is an important one, there
was nothing left for the Archbishop to
do but to refer his case to Rome.
There it is at present, and Rome must
decide ii. Rome does not care for
individuals. The maintenance OF dis
cipline is much more impor isnt to her
than the Influence Of any individual,
no matter what estimation he may be
held in by his congregation"

Pichet, wood chopper, 60 years of
age, was found suspended to tree in

miles north of Putnam, Sunday, by

from habitual drunkenness, a member
Of the family, speaking in French,
said to him: "They are going to take
you to the madhouse, run for the

for the door and ran, chased by the
officers, who failed to overtske the
wood chopper. He has not been seen
since then, and it is supposed he
banged himself soon after his escape.
Portions of the body had fallen to the
ground and his fingers were heshless.
He leaves large family.

psalm by Rev. C. ]. Clark, pastor of the Pine
street church. Prayer was offered by Rev.
A. II. Wright. An original hymn by Rev.
Dr. Thomas Hill was then sung. after which
came an address BY Hon. Neal Dow on tenn
peraDce in Portland during the last century.
Gen. Dow said that in 1925 the first temper
ance organization was formed in Portland, of
which DR.. Payson was president, and it was
called the sixty-nine society.
In 1851. the Maine law was enacted by q
democratic legislature and approved BY a
democratic governor. The effect of the law
was wonderful. the liquor sales we're stopped
except in the large cities, where in conse-
quence of defective administration of the
law the traffic continued to some extent. We
hope to make it for the interest of the politi-
cal bosses TO enforce the Law.
While Gen. Dow was speaking, Gev. Robis
entered the hall and took Q seat. The choir
sang .Hear the Temperance CALL" and Rev.
DIR. Asa Dalton, rector Of st. Stephens
church, then delivered an address on the anti
slavery cause, treating the subject from his
torical. economic and moral points of view,
showing while the existence Of the pro-
slavery party was natural, the institution,
nevertheless, was opposed to the principle of
the Declaration of Independence, and was
eternally wrong.
The Society of Friends in Portland were
among the earliest supporters of the anti
slavery agitation, disturbances and riosous
conduct were rife at the anti-slavery meet
ings. Tho speaker went on to describe how
Gen. Dow, at the head of a fire company,
appeared at one of these meetings and quell-
ed disturbance. He spoke of the good ser
vices of Fessenden and Appleton in the cause
of anti-savery. At the close of Dalton's
address the choir rendered an appropriate
negro hymn.
w. E. Gould then gave historical review
of the Benevolent Association of Portland.
In 1876 the Portland Marine Society was
organized TO help families of sailors. In
1903 the Portland Benevolent Society was
formed, which still exists, aud has disbursed
S39, 900. In 1909 soup house was opened
and many families furnished rations. The
third soup relief was in 1888, and the fourth
in 1866, after the great fire.
Mr.. Nichols then occupied few minutes.
He gave an entertaining description of the
city as it was in bis boyhood and related
many amusing anecdotes and paid glowing
tribute to his native town.
The exercises concluded with singing of
"America." by the choir and congregation,
and benediction by Rev. c. H. Daniels of
the Second Parish church.

Bowdoin won the four-oared shell race here

first quarter of mile, when Bowdoin forged
ahead, and kept gaining until they crossed
the line length ahead.
The Pennsylvania crew has been very finely

move as one man, and certainly no more
beautiful picture could be found of four
