Or. Blanchard and the Salvation
ARMY.


There was well attended and very inter-
esting meeting at the Salvation Army Hall
last evening when, after the usual introduc-
tory exercises. Rev. DIR. Henry Blanchard Of
the Congress Square Universalist church, de-
livered an address. DIR. Blanchard, who
took no text, began by expressing his inter-
est In, and qualification at, what he had
heard. He took pains to have 1t understood
that his theological views were not their
views In all respects, but that he thought 1t
better to dwell upon points of agreement
rather than of difference. In the work of
the Army he has always taken deep inter-
est and followed its movements closely. He
eulOgized General Booth as one of the
worlds great men, and the late Mrs. Booth
as an unean0njzed saiht. The speaker re-
ferred to many details Of the efforts of the
Army to raise the condition Of the lower
classes. specifying features thereof in New
York and London, as well as in Portland,
aud bearing cheerful testimony to the good
work it has done here. He made practical
suggestion to the Army that it would be
well. In addition to prayer and exhortation
ana testimony, sometimes to dwell ON and
recite the good deeds men and women do,
making reference to and quoting from an ar
ticle In the December Century.
DIR. Blanchard was listened to with close
attention aud many expressions OF approval.
Rev. A. IL. Wright OF the st. Lawrence
street Congregational church, will address
the Army next Wednesday evening.

JUST scRAPEo THE pAsaEa.
A ForcIbie Argument for the Porter
Grade Crossing Law.

There was narrDw escape Wednesday
night from one Of those horrible railroad nc.
cidents that frequently send "a thrill of horror
through the community. a. Forest Avenue
crossing. near Woodforas Corner.
There was special train on the Rochester
railroad running out after the Dixey enter
tainment as far as Gorham. There were
also five horse cars running out from the city
to carry the Deering people home. The train
left the station at the foot Of Preble street
shortly after IL O'Clock, and the cars left the
head OF the street at about the same time.
There is one crossing of the horse railroad
and the steam railroad at The foot of Green
street, where it is customary for the horse
cars to pull up for moment, and then, II
the gates are not down and no train is In
sight. to 60 along. This was done Wednes-
day night. the whole FIVE cars passing over
the crossing In safety and moving on toward
Woodfords.
The Rochester track crosses the horse car
track again near the corner of Forest avenue
and Pearl street. where is small station
called Forest Avenue. Here 1t was that the
hairbreadth escape occurred.
The cars stopped, as is required by the
rules. and then. as the gates were not down
and no sound Of an approaching train could
be heard, they started on again. Four Of
them cleared the crossing in safety and were
soon speeding away toward Woodfords.
The fifth car was net so fortunate. Twas
heavily loaded and was drawn by four horses.
There was considerable difficulty in starting
1t, but finally the horses pulled together and
were within four feet of the rail, when the
driver was Mortified to see the great flaming
eye of the engine Massabesic bearing down
on him. He dashed his horses to a galop
and ordered the passengers who crowded the
platforms to jump for their lives. The pas
sengers saw the flaming eye themselves and
needed no orders to induce them to take to
| the road.
Engineer Hanscom of the train put on The
air brakes with considerable energy and sue
ceeded In reducing the momentum Of the
train so that gentle shove was all that the
car would have received If 1t had stood still.
But the car did not stand still. BY terrific
scrambling, assisted by the tightening pro-
cess that was going on at both ends of the
car, the horses managed to drag it clear, SO
that the corner of the locomotive pilot
scraped the rear dasher. and nobody was
hurt. To use hackneyed phrase, sit was a
close CALL" and the passengers will probably
be willing to contribute something substan-
tial toward paving the gate keeper at the
crossing If he will stay there on Stockbridge
nights and Saturdays when this late train
runs, to protect the people from most hor-
ribie death that is otherwise staring them in
