THAT was an excellent service at the
Elm street Methodist church Sunday
evening. The sermon, the singing and
the music were worth coming miles to
hear. The Skillman Bros. perform
beautifully on the violin and cornet and
their soul string strains reach heaven
ward. The most astonishing thing to us
is that more people do not turn out to
these services. Whether you are saint
or sinner you could not spend an hour
more profitably.

CABLE TRAIN RUNS AWAY.
1t Winds Up by Being Wrecked in
a Tunnel.

CHICAGO. April IA runaway cable
train with passengers aboard was
whirled unchecked ten squares through
the most crowded portion of the city
this afternoon. Its wild career ended
by plunge down grade into the La
Sale street tunnel, where the train was
derailed and the wrecked cars strung
across the track near the bottom OF
the sharp incline. There was all
exciting scene along Dearborn and
Randolph streets as the runaway rushed
along. Men, women and children made
ii frantic attempt to get off the train.
Many fell to the ground as they alight-
ed. Crowds attracted by the screams
of the l:Dperiled passengers and the
changing OF the car bells, chased after
the train, and endeavOred to get the
helpless ones off the cars. Police Off
GERS pulled several women through the
broken windows of the cars, and landed
them in safety upon the ground. Among
the passengers on the cars were women
with babes in their arms. They begged
plteously that their children be saved
from harm, but most OF the men thought
only Of themselves.
In the confusion several persons were
trampled by teams taking fright, but
escaped serious injury. Down the tunnel
the cars were i'll such ineXtricable
confusion and the grips and cable III
such chaotic shape, with so many cars
from the North side blocking the north
end that 1t took hours to clear the
wreckage away. The gas main running
through the tunnel was broken and
there was chance for an explosion.
The electric light wires were also cut
leaving the tunnel in darkness. Foul
passengers were badly injured. while a
number of others were fearfully shaken
up and bruised or scratched. The
accident was due to strand becoming
broken in a Clark street cable.
