MUSIC IN ST. JOHN ST. CHURCH.


 Progress of Elijah Rehearsals-Prof.
 Jepson 70 Resign His Position as
 Leader of the Choir After she Elijah
 Concert.
 The rshearsals of ttElijah" by the St. John street M. E. church choir under the direction of Prof. Jepson are progressing very favorably, and it is now thought possi- ble to give this famous Oratorio during the latter part of May, making three great works" Creation" "Messiah" and "Eli- iah"-) given in one year. Prof. Jepson and his enterprising little choir, deserve we'll of the musical public. It has been the aim in rendering these Oratorios, to give a purely vocal performance, as such, their success has been quite remarkable.
 In reference to the Messiah, local musi- oians who heard the Christmas performances of this work in New York and Springfield (the latter with Boston orchestra) taking all things into consideration, award the palm to New Haven, which is high praise. In the presentation of Elijah, Prof. Jepson expects to equal, if not to eclipse, his two previous efforts, more especially as he has announced to his singers that the Elijah concert will conclude his labors in the St. John street church. We learn that the professor has had this step in contemplation for several years past, and has only been induced to continue his labors at the urgent solicitation of friends.
 For over thirty years Prof. Jepson has maintained in this church volunteer choir numbering anywhere from thirty to fifty voices. With these he has given from time to time most of the smaller cantatas, also many fine concerts and praise services, but never full oratorio until within the year past. It is said that with few exceptions 1T II IL -s-I-z Prof. Jepson's withdrawal from active church choir service will be source of regret to those who have known of his efficiency in this department, but he realizes as his school duties and responsibilities increase from year to year that he can better serve the public by devoting himself wholly to his life work work of music in the public schools. Harry Jepson. son of the professor, has been appointed organist for the ensuing year.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DISASTER.
Fireworks Explode on a Moving
Train.-One Man Killed.


What narrowly escaped being a terrible
calamity occurred on the Grand Trunk rail-
way near Montreal, Que The train from
Montreal to st. John, N. B., had left Bona
venture station ON its nightly trip and was
heavily freighted with passengers and bag
gage, and the express train belonging to the
Intercolonial railway was filled with q heter-
ogeneous collection of goods consigned to all
points along the line The train reached in
safety the junction about two miles and a
half east of st. Lambert station, where the
front brakeman looking out was Mortified to
see the express car in flames. Without
waiting to give the alarm he disconnected
the burning cir from the rest of the train.
The action Of the automatic brake brought
the remaining portion Of the train to O
standstill, while the remaining car was car
ried some distance farther on by the en-
gine. 1t was evident that the car con-
tanned explosives of some kind for not only
was the air rent in all directions by the de-
tonation of rockets and the atmosphere in
fected with tn fumes of gunpowder, but
fireworks aud bombs went off iudiscrmi-
nately all over the place, and the pyrotech-
mic display was visible for miles around,
Every effort was made to get at the burning
car, but the heat was so intense and the
flames so fierce that the expressman had to
be left to his fate. Still every nerve was
strained to get at the poor fellow, dead or
alive, and a copious stream of water was
poured on to the burning wreck.
AS soon as the SIN Ike had somewhat sub
sided the charred rem ins W re seen lying
about 10 feet from the door of the car
Water was turned upon the body in the
hope of saving life against such terrible odds,
and when the fire hal burnt itself out, the
rescuing party approached the ruins and
were Mortified to find the trunk Scared and
torn in terrible way, and the arms, legs
and other extramitie5 were all over the
place. The remains were collected and car
ried to Montreal by special train.
The deceased was a rromi,ing young
man of 25, named Walter Rogers, The car
was full size 50foot car, and its cargo in
cluded "a shipments of patent IN dicines, and
the theory Of the officials is that large
quantity of fireworks for the Halifax carn-
val next week was also included in the
freight, concealed by careful wrapping. Had
the explosion occurred while the train was
in tho Victoria bridge terrible calamity
would have taken place. A thorough inveS-
tigation is to be held,

BOSTON MARKETS.

But little change can be noted in tho
markets this week, rs they are practical
ly in the ssme condition as at our last re-
port. 1t takes the best of everything to
effect sales, as is always the case when
there is overcrowding. The flour market
rules steady, and the same is true of
corn meal; oats are in good demand and
fairly active and firm; mill feed is strong
and will advance in price the present
week on account of the rise in freights
which went into effect on the 1st inst.
Butter exhibits a peculiarly bad state of
things. The storage houses are refusing
to receive it, tho weather is sultry aud
what arrives here must under such cir
cumstances soon spoil and be sold at Il
loss to the producer. Good stocks should
be held until such times as a demand
can be created by the depletion of pres
ent accumulations. We quote:

The New York Mercury observes:
"The Quakers are practical, if anything,
and, believing that the royal read 70
mans heart lies through his stomach,
they have determined to convert the noble
red man through the cooking stove as
means of grace. Already they have laid
before President Harrison proposition
to send women among the Indians to
teach them housekeeping, and Congress
is expected to make an appropriation for
this purpose. 1t all depends on the char
acter of the cooking. Heavy biscuits and
muddy coffee will exterminate the rem
uants of the tribes to dead certainty" !"
