THE PELHAMVILLE ACCIDENT. The Coroner's Jury's Decision in the

CaSos
 The inquest before Coroner Tice relative to the death of Fireman Eugene Blake in the railroad accident at Pehamville, N. Y, December 27, was resumed in the station at that place Saturday afternoon. The first witness was Riley Phillips, the engineer, who testified that his train reached Pelham vile station at 5:55 in the morning, and vas running at the rate of thirty-fve miles an hour It was dark as pitch and the air was full of sand raised by the storm. As soon as he felt the shock of the platform on the track he shut off the steam, and the next moment was hurled down the embankment with his engine. It had no hanges on the forward driving wheels, but he believed that flanges would not have saved the engine.
 John Henney, jr., superintendent of motive power on the New York and New Haven railroad, testified that two-thirds of his en- zines ran without fanges on the forward driving wheels to enable them to round curves with the least possible strain on the axles. Flanges on all the wheels could not have kept the engine on the track after strik ing the overturned platform. $. E. Lyon, Pelhamville carpenter who had examined the platform posts after the accident, could not swear that there were nail holes in them, and was sure they were not securely spiked to the platform. William Barry, a road commissioner of the town, found no other evidence that the platform was fastened down than spike in one of the uprights. William E. Barnett, counsel for the railroad, admitted that the station property belonged to the company.
 Coroner Tice then turned the evidence over to the jury, and in half an hour they found verdict ''that the said Eugene Blake came to his death by railroad accident at Pelhamville. Dec. 27, 1885, throu. h the criminal negligence of the New York, New I ( ing to secure the platform of the above station."

New York, Jan. 16, 1SS6- The bears most decidedly had the innings to-day, and bowled out the bulls to their hearts content Depression was the rulo the day through, and al- though exception must be made for 8 stock here and there the list as whole weak and lower. cline, us the unfavorable stories circulated this morning were only rehash of those published yes terJlay and the day before, and there nothing either In the way of gossip fact to ferment further depression. Still, somehow or other the market seems to have got into hot water, and the holders of stocks getting mild scalding. The stock was dealt in to extraordinary extent at prices which reached from CO.'S at the opening to 5St6 at the close-the latter being. within fraction, the lowest figures of the day. There IS no galnsay- ing the fact that Pacific Mail made the special object of attack, but why it should have been sin glcd out can only be accounted for by the theory that in the opinion of the bears, it showed more vulnerable points than any other prominent stock, and was therefore the most available hammer 10 the whole list As we have said, the bears had their own way. There were signs of support from bull hsadquarters. In fact, there is a sneak ing belief that the bull leaders quietly laughing in their sleeves at the short interest which the bears are creating for themselves and the day of atonement which they must face at no distant date.

In the British Medical Journal Dr. w. Roberts, of England, discusses the effect of liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion All of them retard the chemical processes, but most of them stimulate the glandular ac- tivity and muscular contraction. Distilled spirits retard the salivary or peptic digestion but slightly when sparin2ly used. Wines were found to be highly injurious to ssli- vary digestion. On peptic digestion all wines exert retarding influence. They stim- ulate the glandular and muscular ae- tivity of the stomach. Efferves- cent wines exert the greatest amount of good with the least harm to digestion, When ones digestion is out of order every thing goes away, unless, in the case of T. T. Seals, of Bellaire, Ohio, who had bad dy- spepsia for seven years, the digestive appara- tus is kept in apple pie eating order by War ner's Tippecanoe, the best appetite producer and regulator in the world.
 Tea, even in minute quantities, completely paralyZes the action of the saliva. The tan min in strong tea is injurious. Weak tea should be used if at all. Strong coffee and cocoa are also injurious if used in excess.- The Cosmopolitan.

TRINITY M. E. CHURCH.

Preaching Ely Colonel Clarke Nm The
 Morning-An Interesting Discourse
 TO Preach Again Next Tuesday
 Evening.
 At Trinity M k. church yesterday morn ing Colonel Clarke, who hes been assisting MT. Collins in revival work at English Hall the past week, occupied the pulpit and preached to very large congregation. After the usual opening exercises, which were con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Peck, Colonel Clarke was introduced and spoke in substance as follows:
 suppose I am addressing a congregation this morning most of whom are Christians, and will therefore speak of revivals or how to conduct them. believe that all want a revival that will extend to the rich and poor alike, and that will bring our loved ones into the fold of Christ. As basis of my remarks I have selected the words of Paul to the Corinthians: ''We are laborers together with God"
 A very short sentence but Oh, how weighty. To whom did Paul address these words? We shall see It was not only to the saints in Corinth but to all Christians all over the world. What this sinful world needs is to cone into personal contact with God, and with salvation. So Paul says are laborers together with God. With all our littleness, we, with all our sins washed away, are al to- gether laborers with God. There is an office for each one of us to perform. We may not stand in the pulpit and win souls to Christ, but in our home life, in the factory, ill the place of business, we may do something to win souls to God. Let me read to you the last four verses of the sixth chapter of Mark. We have here an illustration of how we may be CO., laborers with God. Before we can do much in winning souls to Christ we must know him by coming in personal contact with him, and by having his love shed abroad in our hearts. They ran to bring the sick and the maimed to Christ to be healed. O, I am glad that that word ran was put in there; it shows the ea1nestness with which they did their work Let us to-day bring in those sick with sin that he may heal them. What we want is more of that living faith that will enable us by touching even the hem of his garment to be made whole. O, that blessed revival and I wisu could have just such revival all over the land.
 The speaker said that he had been re- quested to give brief history of his life work which he proceeded to do ill most interestin! manner. The story was most interesting and affecting one, was listened to with deep interest The principal points as given have already been published in the daily papers.
 The revival services will be continued in this church every evening this week, except Saturday, and tomorrow evening, and possi- bly, on other evenings during the week, Colonel Clarke will preach.

Hs the Wrecked Vessel the Schooner
 Henry Gibbs of St. George, Mafnea
 It is the opinion of some of the ship agents of this city that the wreck on Merwin's oys, ter beds, near Ponds Point, Milford, is the schooner Henry Gibbs of St. George, Me, as the description of the vessel exactly meets that of the Gibbs. The schooner Henry Gibbs was built in New Bedford in 1S46 and is Of seventy tons register and carries about 150 tons. She is now owned in St. George, Me-, and was commanded when last heard of by Captain Teal, St. George man. and the mate was Orlam M Benner of Ston- ington, Conn.,, and the crew consisted of four men. The vessel was in this port about six weeks ago with a load of lumber for H. A. Harrison, of this city, and afterwards sailed for New York for cargo. The Henry Gibbs was in this port also on New Year's day bound for New York to obtain a cargo before going home, and it is supposed that she was on her way home when she went down, if that is the wrecked vessel
