coriery were shot at and driven back home.
Many had their dinner-kettles taken from

John Ice arrived last evening at the
mines, and at hastily summoned meet
ing vote was taken which was against
declaring the strike OIL ut the individual
collieries. His two fellow-memben Of tho
strike committee, Duff and Brennan, ur-
gently opposed any such action, but Lee
won, and he now proposes 10 carry on the
work OF rebellion against the strike COM
mittee's work, which had issued an order
permitting the resumption oi individual
collieries granting the per cent advance.
This had caused division in the ranks Of
the strikers. The colliery, coal and iron

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
An Engineers Fatal Mistake = Two
Trains Leave the Track.

MoRRIsoN, ILL.,, Feb. 2.--On the Chicago
4 Northwestern railroad, Monday, as a
stock train was entering deep cut near
here, the engineer discovered the red
lights OF way car only a few yards in
front OF him. Wrongly supposing the head
train to be standing still, and expecting
an immediate telescope, he shouted to the
two men who were in the cab with him to
jump for their lives, and reverling the
engine the three men jumped. Two Of
them struck the walls Of the cut with such
force that they were thrown back under
the wheels OF the train and instantly
killed. One was Edward Kelly, former
resident OF Gladbrook, Ia, and the other
Daniel Donovan, fireman, of Marquette.

Strong Men in the diaistry.
Boston Journal.


Now more than ever is there need OF
men Of strong and iorceful character to
carry on the great work Of the minis
try-men Of ability and Tishsl amply gift
ed with great store Of sanctified COMMON
sense; men who will attrsct the yGuI g
and whose power will be felt for gooo.
To build and mold and round the charac-
ter to that shape is no small task; it is
large enough for any man to lay hold up
on and fnish in 8 worthy way. The men
who make q success in the
pulpits and parishes of our
cities are NOT ''nnmbY-p.mby."
They are men who would probably sue
coed in any line of life. They are strong
men. There is room in the ministry for
the college athlete as well as the college
scholar, and vigor and force will tell for
good ss quickly there IS anywhere else. 1t
is just such hearty men that our churches
need, and they would gladly welcome TO
The ministry the strength and force and
might that marks men on campus and
river, knowing thst with 1t would come
greater power for good.
