A MONoN ROUTE WRECK.
Six Persons Killed and Number Injurs

Six Persons Killed and Number Injured
by Wreck on the Monon Route Caused
Dy spreading Rails-Some of the Vic
TINS Incinerated in the Burning Cars
The Killed and Injured.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 27.--A train
on the Monon route was ditched eleven
miles north of this city this morning.
Six passengers lost their lives and
many were injured. The train wrecked
was the morning express from
Chicago due here at $50. The ten
der of the engine jumped the track as
the train crossed a long trestle over
Wilkinson creek. The engine and Gag
gage car passed over safely. The day
coach and sleeper went into the ditch
and were burned.
Further particulars of the disaster
are received. The arm of one victim
projected through the side of the car
and could be touched by those on the
outside, but the opening was not large
enough to draw the body through. A
lady who got on the train at Frankfort,
and whose body is as yet uni
Identified, was enveloped in flames,
but there was no possible
way to get her out. Across from this
lady was Mrs. Eubanks, of Broad Ripple,
Ind. Her head was horribly crushed.
The brakeman and passenger seized
her by the arms, and by desperate
effort pulled the body through the win
dow. Life was not yet extinct, but she
lived only few minutes.
Another of the rescued, but who has
since died, was Mr.. Deming, of Sheri
dan. He was pinioned to the floor by
timbers and horribly crushed. Some
heroic men seized axes, and after few
minutes work cut away the timbers that
held the body, which was removed.
There was no medical aid present. and
the man died in few minutes.
Buckets having been procured from the
farm houses near by, the flames were
soon put out. AS soon as it was possi-
BILE to do so, search was made for the
dead. The body of woman, identified
as Mrs Fitzpatrick, of this city, was
soon found. 1t was burned to a crisp.
The Oldham children were found side
by side, the heavy stove lying across
their bodies.

nishes the following accurate list Of the
dead and injured:

Rev. Locke Declares Christ's Power Has

on the subject: christianity MOI Afraid
of Its Foes" He first told how the village
carpenter at Nazareth had created a sensa-
tion by declaring that he fulfilled the
prophesisS OF the Bible. He followed this
with Christ's escape from the
mob and then said the miraculous
power which saved Christ from His enemies
had been conferred upon the Church and
upon the individuals. To prove this be
cited the triumphs of the Church during
the prosecutions. and described the trials
under Nero, Titus, Decius Julian, the Apos-
tate, and during the prosecutions of the
Huguenots and Luther. He then referred
to the mad fight infdelity was at present
making, and then proved that the Church
was advancing in the tace of ALL

Christianity. In response to his appeal

AN AGED VETERAN.
E. D. Higley. 80 Years of Age, Visiting the
Scenes Of HIS Cbiidbood.


SARATOGA, March "a pleasant-faced old
man arrived in the Fitchburg depot on Thurs
day morning and remained there after all the
other passengers had left. He walked up and
down in the room. and was finally accosted by a
policeman, who, noticing that the aged stranger
wore Grand Army badge inquired if he could
be of any service to him. Yes" replied the
old man, "if you can get Inc pass to Troy, Pa,
it will be a great favor" The request was
granted.
The name Of the old man is E. D. Higley.
His father, Dudley Higley, was soldier in the

CREED AND CONDUCT.

The Subject of Rev. DIR. Cowun's Sermon,
Last Evening.
Greed and Conduct" was the subject OF
the evening sermon of Rev. DR.. E. z.
Cowan, at the Third Presbyterian Church.
His text was from st. Johns Gospel, Kill,
40: II am come a light into this world,
that whosoever believeth on me should
not abide in darkness" DR.. Cowan
said: "This text carries with 1t
the idea that it does make some difference
what man believes. A mans oellei, IN
the man, influences his conduct. some
times men seem to act contrary to their be-
lief. because we do not know what their real
belief is. What man believes is his creed.
Greed is from the Latin word credo, L be-
lieve 1t is hardly possible that a man
has not thought some on the great
subject of religion. A man who has no be-
lief on that question will never be In dam
ger from brain fever. If man believes
that he ought not to believe ANYTHING, that
is his creed believe that what men think
concerning God and religion can be system
atized and put into definite form. Thus the
apostolic creed is the belief Of the whole
Christian world. The most condensed state
ment of the doctrines of the gospel is that OF
st. Paul, believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ" That is a creed in an acorn she'll.
The man who believes that much, must be-
lieve all that it carries with it. 1t means
belief in all that Jesus taught
Because the mind of man is logical it is
absolutely essential to form these beliefs
into systems. 1t is the spreading out of the
mighty oak from the acorn shell. 1 believe
that many of the minuter distinctions of
creeds, which have no influence upon char
acter, are not worth ouarreling about. The
division between the old school and the new
school Presbyterians was SO fine that it was
impossible that it should influence charac-
ter. 1 have heard that church in this city
divided on the momenrous issue whether the
clergy should read one or two lines, in CIV
ing out the hymn.
Great systems of theology have modified
character and produced certain types. Cal
wins old system Of theology need not be
of the type of character it has
formed. l deprecate change of these sys-
TENS in our day of doubt and unbelIef-even
the change of what might be called infelici-
ties of expression, since they are not essen
tial and do not affect character. 1deprecate
the spectacle that some of our brethren are
exhibiting to a criticising and skeptical
world. The essentials are: The existence
Of God, the responsibility of man, the helm
business of sin, the accountability at the
Judgment, the reward of those who are
Christ's own and the punishment of those
who are not. The real question of to-day is:
Shall the Christian religion liye?"

TEN GREAT RELIGIONS.
A Universalist Preacher Declares the Old
Testament to be Obsolete.

A Universalist Preacher Declares the Old
Testament to be Obsolete.
AT Christ Universalist Church, Sixth
avenue, last night. Rev. W. S. Williams
talked on 1.-The Ten Great Religions" He
said the masses do not think for themselves,
and especially is this so in religious matters
They accept what is offered to them with
out question. Every man should
know more than one religion. His
religious belief is but the outgrowth
of other religions, and he cannot understand
his own if he does not know what others be-
lieve. He who does not see beyond him.
self, does not know himself. To know but
one religion causes man to be narrow
minded. Christianity is not the only re-
ligion. Ever since time was man has been
making himself known to men through the
medium of many religions. Even to-day
there are religions more powerful than
Christianity, although that is the supreme
one.
Then there are dead religions. That one
taught in the Old Testament is dead relig-
ion, and we have no more authority to base
our religious belie1s on the teachings of the
Old Testament than on the doctrines of the
Chinese on the ancient idols of the Nile.
The Old Testament made up the religion
known as Judaism, and it is no more asso-
ciated with Christianity than the teachings
of Mohammed.
The speaker then described the ten relig-
ions of the world and showed where Chris
tianity-the eleventh-was superior to them
all.
