MERE QUESTION on ENDURANCE.

coke region strike, IL Is thought, VIII
now settle down TO q mere question OF
endurance on both sides.
The action OF the syndicate In closing
down all works and ceasing TO turn ont
coke is looked upon by the people here
as wise move, which should have been
taken two weeks ago.
The strikers look upon the edlct with
Indifference. They are still perfectly
sure that the operators must finally sur
render. They say that the lack OF coke
will throw 100000 men out OF employ
ment IN other industries, and that q
pressure will be brought TO bear upon
the coke producers from that direction,
even more embarrassing than their own
demand

A Greenwood Lakt sunset.

It is impossible for the untutored mind
or for those who fail to study nature as
seen upon the mountain or on the lake to
conceive of the glorious beauty of the
sinking sun. Viewed from the bosom of
this lake, one gazes from afar at the great
light just as it solemnly sinks to rest in its
everlasting framework Of hills and forest.
and forgets to blame the Aztec worshipers .
Who shall describe the gentle sheens of
light penetrating with its golden subdued
tinge every accessible nook and corner of
mountain and forest. What painter would
attempt to depict such q glorious aspect!
The heart would fail at its work, the brush,
creation of man, would fall from his hands
and he would exclaim
MY mother earth how glorious In
Thy aspect and myself"
Those who wish to view the great sig bit,
to be participant in such scene sheuld
join the Greenwood Lake excursionist
party leaving Jersey City, Erie K. R., every
Saturday at 2:15 P. NJ.

to start, and the attempt was made. but it
was some time before . movement
of the yachts was perceptible. As
the boats rounded the point
of the neck the wind freshened. and from
that paint to the turning of the first buoy
off Pig Rocks the race was pretty one,
but after that it became extremely tire

4 TRAIN ABLAzE.
An Exciting Episode of Travel on th
Canadian Pacific.

NOMINAL, July 10.-Assistant General
Manager O'Shaughnessy of the Canadian
Pacific Railway furnishes the following
particulars of an accident at Donald,
B. CT
The eastern train which left Port Moody
at 8 o'clock Wednesday and was due in
Montreal next Tuesday met with serious
accident a few miles from Donald, the
principle station in the Columbian Valley.
Extreme hot weather had caused the
brush and prairie to be exceedingly dry,
and fire occurred which soon spread into
a vast confagration. The intense heat
caused the rails to warp, and the result
was that the train was derailed. The
train consisted of baggage and mail ear,
q second class car, first class car and q
first class sleeper. The fire was q consld-
cradle distance from the track, and the
train would have passed through safely if
the rails han not been warped, causing the
train to leave the track. The baggage and
mail car and the first and second class
cars were destroyed. The sleeper and all
the mail matter and baggage were saved.
The passengers escaped uninjured, and
the accident will not cause the slightest de-
lay in the train service. Men were imme-
diately dispatched from Donald, and the
track was cleared and renovated. Railway
officials state that brush fires are very
common, but no danger results from them
in railway travelling.
