A Piece Of News That VIII Please Many
People Hereabouts.
The following Is taken from last Mon
days Journal Of Jersey City: "Last eve-
ming Rev. William j. Conley, lately ap-
pointed assistant at st. Patrick's Church,
preached his first sermon to his new con-
gregation. A large audience was present to
welcome the young priest, who acquitted
himself of his maiden efforts in most sat
isfactory manner. His text was st. Paul to
the Ephesians, BLESSED be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed US with spiritual blessings in
heavenly places in Christ" The subject
of Father Conley's sermon as deduced
from the text, was the Sacraments of the
Church. He spoke at length upon their
nature, necessity and efficacy. His voice
is full and sonorous, easily PEN
etrating to every part OF the
large church edifice, and his presence and
delivery were much praised. The pastor
of the church, Father Hennessy, was
present in the sanctuary and took part in
the service of welcome to his new as
sistant. Father Conley is a native of Cape
Cod, Mass, and has performed priestly
duty i'm Newark for few months previous
to his promotion to a more important
parish for the better exercise of his cleri-
cal abilities. The new priest is highly
spoken of by the parishioners OF st.
Patrick's Church"

"Such cut need be only a mere ditch
at first, the rush of the water would flow
until the inland sea was oa the same
level as the ocean. There are immense
tracts of common salt all about Salton,
and heretofore the lake and salt marsh
near the station have been supplied with
water by great cloud bursts, which occur
at short intervals. Some of the cloud
bursts have beea so heavy rs to raise the
level of the lake many inches in few

FOURTEEN KILLED.
Another Awful Wreck on a Railroad
near Berne, Switzerland
Train Loaded WITT Excursionists
Dashed Into by the Paris Express
Gross Negligence Somewhere.

Dashed Into by the Paris Express
Gross Negligence Somewhere.
The people of Berne have hardly recovered
from the railroad scare caused by the terri
bic accident at Moenchensteiu in June last,
by which over $50 persons on an excursion
train lost their lives aud about 800 were in
iured, when they were again startled by an
other wholesale loss of life by reason of
railroad accident.
The last disaster occurred on the Jura-Sim-
plon railroad lines near the village of Zolli-
kofen. The details of the accident, are as
follows:
special train carrying large number of
exeursionists from the country districts TO
Borne, was on its way here, the passengers
intending to take part in the Centenary fetes,
which are now in progress throughout Switzer-
land. This excursion train was stopped at
Zollikofen in order to enable it to be shuned
into siding SO as to let the Paris express
pass.
By some gross negligence apparently upon
the part of the railroad officials, the Paris
train, loaded with foreign travellers, was not
WHfnet 10 loon ont lor Tue EXCURSION tfHln
while passing Zollikofen, and the result was
that the express dashed into the special
train.
Luckily the engineer of the express had
caught sight of the excursion train in time
to put down the brakes, and so the damage
done and the los of life was not so great as il
might have been. As it was the engine of the
express cut into and ain o;t entirely demol-
ished the guards van at tae rear of the cxcur-
sion train, which was empty, and then crashed
into the rearmost of the passengers cars com
pletely wrecking it.
Thirteen people were killed and Is persons
were seriously injured. The majority of the
latter have suffered so severely that surgical
operations, resulting in the loss of limbs, will
be necessary to save their lives. In addition
to the is passengers who have suffered serious
injuries, 80 others have suffered more or less
severe wounds or bruises as a consequence of
the accident.
SO far as known all the passengers on the
Paris express escaped without injury
The bodies of the dead were carried to the
waiting-room of the railroad station at Zolli-
kofen and were there lai in rows while
awaiting indentification.
The majority of the passengers on board the
excursion train belongto towns in the vicinity
of Berne. 1t is thought that no foreign visi-
tors were among the excursionstan no deaths
of American travellers have been reported
According to the latest advices from the
scene of the disaster II women and men
were killed and "a persons seriously injured
The victims were all Swiss peasants. The
historical procession was under way when the
news Of the disaster was received here, but
was hastily stopped.
