A Special Exhortati0u.

At recent impressive prayer meet
ing at Squirrel island. led by pastor
formerly of Lewiston. there was an
anti-climax just before the benedir-
ton. The pastor gave out a hymn,
and the congregation were exhorted,
the young especially, to 60 away and
put into practice the sentiment Of the
song. The pastor noted irrevercnt
filters all the while the hymn was be-
ing sung. The leading sentiment u
the hymn was this: Draw Ne Nearer.

M. e. Conference.


We are indebted to the Knox
willie Journal for the following Con.
ference proceedings at Dayton,
Tennessee:
The reports of presiding elders
were taken up. The first to respond
was Rev. ]. S. Petty, of Knoxville
district. His report was a gem,
comprising concise and full re-
view of the work on each Of the
charges on this district. Speaking
of the work done in the city of
Knoxville, he said:
"North Knoxville, at the begin.
ming OF the year was not formally
organized until last Sabbath after
noon. The work has been in charge
of Rev. James S. Jones, who has
conducted Sunday School and
preached on Sunday evenings in
Patterson's hall. The enterprise is
full of promise, and owes its exist
ence chiefly to the energetic exer-
tions of the Rev. L. E. Prentiss,
pastor of Clinch street church
Brother Jones has done excellent
work, and, as far as know, Is Civ.
ing universal satisfaction"
Speaking of Clinch street church
= and its pastor, he said in substance
that when Rev. Pierce left for Flor
ida, the official board, hearing that
Rev. Prentiss, of Findley, O., was
contemplating removal South on
account of the frail health Of his
wife, entered into correspondence
with him, asking HIM to come and
see Knoxville. He came, he saw,
he (was) conquered During his
pastOrate, there has been added to
the charge about 200 members.
There has been for ministerial sup
port, furnishing preachers home,
moving expenses, etc, s., 40, and
raised for benevolent purposes $500,
more than double the entire assess
ment. A second mission school
has been organized on Crozier
street and now numbers about six
ty members. 1t is conducted by
members of the Clinch street
church.
Referring to the Asylum street
charge, of which Rev. ]. A. Ruble
is pastor, he said: "The congrega-
lions are large and inspiring, the
prayer.meetings well attended,
Sunday School growing and healthy
and the spiritual life vigorous"
"Maryville-E Except Knoxville
this is the strongest charge in the
district. During the past two years
Rev. d. s. Hodsden, the pastor, has
met with a good degree of success.
He enjoys the confidence and es-
TEEN of the entire charge. Mary.
willie desires to be formed into q
station.

DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.
No Truth in the Report That There is
to be Reciprocity between Canada
and the United States.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald tcle graphs as follows:
A report reaches here rom Ottawa that
Canada is trying 10 secure, through the
English foreign Office, "a reciprocal trade in
lumber with this country. Tho report
further states thas the correspondence will
be transmitted in due course to Secretary
Blaine.
The treasury officials have no knowledge
Of such a move. Assistant Secretary Tiche-
nor says there must be some mistake about
the report. Canada has everything to gain
by shipping her lumber free into this
country. while we have everything
TO lose by the transaction.
Moreover, congress alone had the right TO
inaugurate such policy, and nothing
could be done without its sanction.
The produce OF the forests of the state of
Maine upon the ST. John and St. Croix
rivers and their tributaries owned by
American citizens can be sawed or hewed
in the province of New Brunswick by citi-
zens of this country and re shipped to
American ports free Of duty. Under this
st tute Canadian lumber amounting to
millions of ieet has been fraudulently
shipped TO the Uni cd States free of duty
The new administration attention has
been directed 10 this matter by the Home
market club. The treasury department
has been looking into he charges and is
~, however, the opportunities for SNUG
CLING are so numerous and so difficult to
prove that the department is really power
less to move in the matter. The law is so
maniiestly discrimination in tavor of the
Maine lumbermen, as well as the Canadians
along the border, That congress will no doubt
be ADDED next winter TO repeal il.

RAILROAD WRECK.
twenty-five to Thirty Lives Reported
Lost.
The Track Was Washeh out.

A fearful accident by which from % 10 so
lives were lost and large number of per-
sons injured occurred on the Norfolk x
Western railroad at . 30 clock the other
morning, one mile above FlaXtOn's switch
aud thirty one miles above Lynchburg,
Va. Rim had been falling almost contnu-
ally and at times very heavily for twenty
four hours, swelling the mounta n streams
greatly beyond Their normal state. Sever
al trains had passed over the road during
the night, and it was thought the line was
safe for traf1ic, Notwithstanding the rains
and that no danger need be apprehended
AT the place of the accident, however, the
water had undermined the roadbed
and caused washout about eighty
feet long and fifty feet
wide. The water at this point
was eight TO ten feet deep Into this watery
gulch the engine made IA frightful leap
while running at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, carrying with it the tender and eight
cars. As the engine struck bottom the
rushing OF the water into the locomotive
exploded the boiler. This fact greatly
augmented the catastrophe Debris was
thrown in every direction by the force of
the explosion, iujuring those on the train
by flying fragments and scattering fire
brands which ignited the woodwork of the
coaches The names spread and destroyed
q large amount OF mail and express matter,
besides spreading panic among the already
that some of the passengers were unable to
extricate themselves from the wreck and
were consumed in the flames,
but it rs difficult TO get
accurate information, as the employees of
the Norfolk and Western railroad refuse TO
give any information to the pubic.
IL is learned that the shattered cars
caught fire soon after the acc mt and in
few moments the wreck was all ablaze and
TO the horror OF bruised and broken limbs
and manged bodies was added the certain
~ of fearful. death by fire. Many had
goue TO their death quickly, but the shrieks
and groans of the wounded, pinned down
by the heavy timbers and by rods of twist
cd iron as the flames swept slowly toward
them and began their fearful work made
the scene one Of intense horror. Those
who were able to crawl from the wreck
lent their aid by the light of the flaming
timber to rescue their less fortunate COM
panious But little could be done for them.
| There were notools at hand with which TO
cut the timbers that held them down, and
they lay there helpless and roasted in iull
sight Of those who had been fortunate

The Green Nudge.

The appearance of the aphis throughout
the state caused the secretary OF state TO
call upon the crop correspondents Of his
department Tor special report on this sub
iect. The request Tor this report was
made June 18th and compilation of tho re-
turns have been completed. The result
shows that IN the first and second tiers Of
counties IRON the south line of the state
the aphis is found Gn 81 per cent of the
wheat heads; in the third tier 15 per cent;
in the fourth tier IS per cent, and in the
central and northern counties 55 TO 20 per
cent.
They are most numerous in st. Joseph,
Kalamazoo. Monroe, Hillsdale and Van
Buren, counties. As to the number of kerr
nels on which they are found correspond
ents say TOO many TO count" Cores
pondents generally agree that the lice are
more numerous on the late than on the
earlier wheat. IL is yet too early TO csti-
mate the damage, but it does not seem pos
sible that the grain can escape being
shrunken. IL is noticed thst in some 10
calities there are less numbers of lice than
there were 10 days ago.
Many wheat heads sent 10 the secrctary's
Office are entirely ruined. while fully as
many are not materially damaged.

FOR CRONlN's MURDER.
Seven Indictments Returned by the
Grand Jury.

The special grand jury which has been
investigating the murder of DR.. Cronin Of
Chicago, completed its labors June 20.
The report indicted seven men. OF whom
three were already in jail under previous
indictments -Coughlin, O'Sulliyan and
Woodruff, and a fourth, John II. Begcs,
was under arrest on suspicion. The fifth
man was Martin Burke, the suspect in Gus
tody at Winnipeg The sixth and seventh
men indicted are still at large-Patrlck
Cooney, 1.-THE Fox" and John Kunze, a
friend of Detective COughlin, whose alleg-
ed completely was only brought 10 the at
tention of the authorities within the past
two days.
Within an hour after the return of the
indictment capias had been made out Tor
John f. Beggs the senior guardian of
camp %, OF the Clan-na- Gael, whose place
OF detention has been a down town police
station. He was at once transferred TO Il
cell near the other accused in murdererS'
row 1T the county Jail.
None OF the prisoners or suspects were
represented in court when the grand jury
reported.
After the last formalites of the long in
QUESTION were ended, States Attorney
Longenecker told "a number Of reporters
nc had not yet dropped the case in its re-
latiOn to Alexander Sullivan. The states
attorney claimed that the grand jury had
been unable owing to the expiration Of its
presented against Mr. Sullivan. The in
quiry as TO Sullivan would be continued 10
the next jury. Whether it would be an.
other special panel or the regular body
could not at present be stated.
IL was conceded by Mr.. Longenecker in
private conversation that up to the mo-
meut that the term of the grand jury eX-
pred the authorities had not secured suf-
ticient evidence upon which Sullivan could
be convicted. An indictment of him, there
fore, so tho states attorney reasoned,
would undoubtedly result in an immedi.
ate trial Of acQuittal, barring forever any
other proceedings, result which from Mr.
Longenecker standpoint was not TO be
desired. Another reason for the state 5
attorneys course is said to be hope on
his part that before the trial of the men
indicted is ended some of them may be in
duced through hope Of saving their own
neclIs, TO give evidence directly incriminat-
ing Sullivan.
