Grave.
THE WOMAN KILLED YESTERDAY

ing on the Railroad Track.

A terrible accident occurred on the
tracks Of the Erie Railroad at the foot Of

1t appears that she was walking along the
track, unconscious Of danger. The track
Is very much used as "a thoroughfare on
Sundays, because there are few trains
running.
Suddenly the iron horse and its load Of
coal cars doomed up. The train was in
charge of Engineer Braiton and Conduc-
tor Costello, and left Weehawken at
three o'clock. Engineer Braiton says he
blew warning whistle three times, but
the woman noticed the oncoming train
too late, and as she was about to jump
from The track the cowcatcher of the en-
CINE struck her and hurled her beneath
the wheels.
HER SON KILLED THERE.
The Foley family has been singularly
unfortunate. Three years ago one of the
boys of the family, while picking coal,

his mother was killed yesterday. The
following year another of the boys was
killed by a piece Of wood which was
hurled by a young ruffian named Jack

Pretty Eva Stagg is Paying Dearly for
Deserving Her Home.
An object of pity was pretty sixteen
year-old Eva Stagg as she stood in the
prisoners pen in Justice Stilsing's Court
this morning. Eva ran away from her
home and came to Jersey City some three
weeks ago She was arrested on the
streets and sent to Jail for fifteen. days by
Justice Stilsing, who hoped to run across
some one interested. ia her before her
term expired. A gentleman called upon
him from neighborlng town to seek in
formation, but it seems went off without
making any further enquiries.
Eva was treed from the prison cell few
days ago. She was homeless, and, roam
ing the streets, fell an easy prey to viii
lains. When arrested she had q mans
rubber coat in her possession which she
was inclined to make no explanation
about.
The Judge was puzzled as to what dis
position to make of her case, and finally
sent her to Snake Hill to keep her off the
streets.

REV. DIR. MITCHELL'S SERMON.

An Eloquent Description of the Power
of the Church and of the Bible.
The Rev. David Mitchell preached an
interesting and instructive sermon yes
terday, in which he drew lessons from
the Mills meetings His text was from
John vi. 12;-
when they were filed, He said unto His
disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain
that nothing be lost
"On TWO occasions our Lord wrought
miracles of feeding the multitude with a
few loaves. On one, seven baskets of
fragments, and on the other twelve were
taken up at His express command. What
wonder, we exclaim, that so much food
should be created out of so little, and yet
it is none more startling-let us only
think-than what takes place every year
when the handful OF grain becomes the
plenteous harvest. The fragments which
remained were in proportion to the entire
feast, and we see with what care He who
could create out of little so great an
abundance regarded that which was
oyer and above the present requirements.
IG is q severe reDuke to our wastefulnesS,
for there is more thrown ont by us in a
day than it would take to fill the mouths
of MANY starving persons.
GATHERING UP THE FRAGMENTS.
"But we do not mean to dwell upon
the miracle, but rather to apply the text
to the glorious Gospel feast which we en-
joycd with the earnest evangelists, Mills

mighty throngs and fed them with the

feature of these meetings was the large

awakened to the fact that there are thou
sands who have not bowed the knee to
Baal 10 me it was an inspiration 10
witness such multitudes gathered to hear
the words that were to be spoken by the
servants of the Lord.
ssAnother thing was the loveliness OF the
spectacle of brethren dwelling together
in unity. The various denominations
were seen to be one body. We were truly
brethren in the Lord. No one could tell q
Methodist from Presbyterian. a Baptist
from a Congregationalist. We are after
all different regiments in the same great
army of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us
ever realize that we are one and Christ
ians will make themselves felt in every
great question affecting the well being Of
society. Before the saloon how powerless
we arel And yet think of the vast power
to restrain this and every other evil lying
latent in our churches.
POWER OF THE BIBLE.
"Another lesson was impressed upon
me as to the wonderful uses that can be
made of the Word of God. Surely we
should stand by book that has proved
its value in the past. As one says, The
Bible is lamp to direct us; a guide to
conduct us; a bit to restrain us; sword
to defend us; water TO wash us; fire to
enfiaine us; salt to season us; milk to
nourish us; rain to refresh us; treasures

The defendant denied this, and de-

He heard Mrs. Renney and his wife
quarreling and he went to the hall to

struck MIN on the nose making it bleed.
He then pushed her from him and she
fell. He was positive he did not strike or

was passing beneath along the lower

is fifty years old and unmarried.
