Read.
The auditorium of the Second PreSbyte-
riam church was crowded last evening the
occasion being the annual meeting of the
MOmens Home and Foreign Missionary
Society of the church. The meeting was
opened with devotional exercises, consist
ing of scriptural reading. prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Beatty of Missouri. and singing by
the Second church choir. The exercises
throughout were very interesting and the
port of the treasurer, Mrs. Charles Stout,
showed the society To he in a trSt-class COLI
,litiOn financially. after eXpending large
sum on the work OF the past year. 1t was
Mrs. Jonn NJ. Winger.
Miss Alice Bennett began the literary exer-
cises by reading finely prepared paper, by
Miss Mary Burt. entitled. Two Missionary
Heroines." The paper gave dramatic
and interesting picture of the hardShips en-
dured in missionary work by Mrs. JudsOn
! in Burmah and Mrs Rankin in Mexico.
| A clever poem, written by Miss Julia
| Baker. the first secretary of the society. was
read by Mrs. William NJ. Black and enthu-
| siaStically received.
/ The event of the evening was the read
| ing of a romance by Mrs. George FTanken-
| berg. one of the most cleverly conceived
and artiStically written stories imaginable.
| 1t opened with scene where a number OF
ladies We're packing box tC
send to missionary, one David
Prince. 1t next changed to the house
of this David Prince on the border, where
| the poor starving missionary endured the
| gibeS of a soothing neighbOr. The next
scene shows the reception and unpacking OF
the box Articles were mentioned as COM
ing from persons and children here, and
this insertion of local names produced the
desired effect of greatly increasing the in
tereSt. 1t wound up with few remarks in
refutation of the arguments against foreign
missions. Beneath the story ran current
of sharp logic and benevolent philosophy
that made it a powerful pleader in the cause
of foreign missions.
The exercises were closed with song. Be
fore adjourning four honorary memberships
were purchased.

To the Editor of the Commercial Gazette:

Sert the following in reply Ia a telegram in
your paper of April -, headed Cause Of

man reported running the engine at the
time of the wreck, with a Derby hat and
black coat, was a competent engineer in the
employment of the y. Y. p. II q. Co. doing
daily duty. and IS competent an engineer
As myself am considered To- be- I was
suffering from a severe headache and had
requested the engineer tu rrleaye me for a
time.
Any reflection brought to bear upon this
engineer or of the manner iH which he was
handling his train at the time the wreck oc
CURED. is utterly false. As he was running
strictly according to the time allotted a. per
time-caTd time for that train, prescribed tn
us by |. b. & W. over their tracks. We

where we first left the track at 1880 a. IN. {:
We were derailed at II a. H.. giving ten
minutes To cover the one mile and One-half.
whereas their time card allows only eight
minutes. Setting aside my own Judgment
| leave it after thorough Inspection of aS
competent track supervisor a. the state
affords.
He gives his version aS to the cause of
the wreck, that the curve where We were
| derailed did not have the proper elevation
and was in a bad condition. You also state
in your article that the train was running
| forty miles per hour and over. This in
formation, from whOmSOeyer received. was
certainly Overe>tmated We were not rN-
ceeding 2S to 80 miles an hour. Every train
emplOye on the fated train stood tO their
post like men, as was certified by nearly
every passenger on board. Conductor COe
was not excited, and handled everything in
good order and with the best of judgment.
Nor has he been reprimanded. These are
facts that will stand investigation in any
court of justice, and this article is intended
To do justice toward all, with malice toward
none. Respectfully.

Mr.. CroytOn has written to the

eS brought against him by Judge
Garrison. 1t did not need Mr.
Croxton's denial, to convince us
that these charges were not true
We did not attend the convention
at which Mr.. CroXton WAS nominal
ed, but we know enough about the
workings of the convention to state
positively that Mr.. Croxton's nom
ination came to him unsought.-
Why lie should have resorted tc
trickery and deceit, as Judge Gar
rison claims, to get that which he
could have, by Il nod Of acquies

and bears absurdity upon its face,
We KNOW the fact that at every
convention of the first district loi
four terms previous to his noinin"
ton, Mr.. Groxtom could have got
ten the nomination if he had wish
ed it, and when he was nominated,
it came to him unsonght and
against his protest.. And certainly
he did not ;intagolIize Judge Gar
