The accident to the Shore Line express,
details of which are chronicled in another
column, has been the absorbing topic in
this vicinity for the past two days. The
scene was visited by hundreds of people
yesterday. Under the circumstances it
seems wonder that the results of the de.
railment were not more serious.
Yesterdays fine weather was availed of
by many in walking and riding. Many
people from the city visited this section
and took strolls in the suburbs or by the
shore For such strolls, there are no
more attractive roads in any part of the
town. The horse cars did good business,
many patrons coming out just for the ride.
1t was a warm breath that pervaded all
the region, spring having suddenly lapsed
into summer to all appearances. The fine
weather was the means of increasing the
audiences at the churches materially.

gregational church in the evening, con-
