The PITT STREET EXTENSION
The congregation of ST. Mary's Church
held meeting last night in reference
to the action taken by Council recently
in ordering Pitt street TO be opened
and extended to Hunting creek. Some
misapprehension had existed among
some Of the congregation, it being sup.
posed by them that in opening the
street the grounds of the St. Mary's
cemetery would be encroached upon
and probably damaged. After it had
been shown that no damage would be
done to those grounds, but that the ex-
tension of the street would prove ben
eft and afford an easy means of access
to the cemetery, committee of ten
was appointed to consider the several
question involved in the proposed ex-
tension of the street and report at a
meeting to be held next Monday night.
The committee consists of Messrs.
W. F. Carne, H. J. Nevett, E. Hughes,
N. Ahern, M. Lawler, w. Il. Breen,
f. NJ. Birrell, J. Donnelly, ]. T. Rafier-
ty and NJ. B. Harlow. 1t is said that
the congregation is almost unanimous
in favor of opening the street.

MUSICAL AssocIATIoN.-The called
meeting of this association last night
was largely attended. Fifty-two or
more of the members have signitied

ed, and that the musical feature will

pointment of Messrs. Baldwin, Whit

ing that the experience of these gentle
men in musical affairs promises more
pleasures on the same line. Commit

The GRACE CHURCH MIssIoN.-The
order of services has been slightly
changed, the services at $50 and 10 a.
M, having been merged in one, viz at
9.45 a. m. morning prayer and instruc-
ton for protesting christians followed
by intercession. The church was well
filled last night at 7.30 o'clock when
song service of half an hour was held.
At S p. IN. evening prayer was said
with sermon by the missioner, Rev.
Joseph Reynolds, jr. After the bene-
diction occasional hymn was sung,
during which all who wished to do so
had an opportunity to retire. What is
called the first after service ensued,
which was simply review of the prin-
cipal points of the service and an invi-
tation to any who might wish to be
spoken to by the missioner, or others,
TO remain in their seats during the sing
ing of the second occasional hymn.
The services throughout the day were
well attended and the earnest instruc-
tons and words of comfort by the mis-
sioner were listened to with deep atten-
ton. The mission opening thus auspi-
ciously seems to give promise of in
increasing interest and much helpful
ness TO those who atten d.

way. in charge of Conductor Herbert
Griffith, with Mr.. William Leef as engi-
nser met with an accident early
This morning when about mile outside
ofthe city, which caused a blockade of
the main track of the road for about
two-thirdS of the day. The train left
this city at half-past four o'clock this
morning, aud in passing the switch
shout one hundred aud fifty yards this
side of Roberts's crossing the caboose
and four cars two box and two gon-
doa) jumped the track. One of the
gOndolas, loaded with coal, turned bot
tom-up and dumped twenty-five tons of
black diamonds into the field on the
south of the track, the other gondola,
after tearing up the ties for some dis
lance, finally came to stop in semi
capsized position. The box cars and
cabOose were halfway down the bank
when the train came to a standstill.
No one was hurt, though those en-
ployed on the rear end of the train
we're considerably shaken up. Work
of clearing the track was commenced
Immediately, but it was some time in
the afternoon before trains could pass.
No one seems to know what really
caused the derailment. The most
plausible theory is that the rails spread.
Some, however, are positive a broken
frog was the primary cause of the acct
dent. and others that an obstruction of
some sort had become wedged in the
frog. The north bound passenger trains
were blocked between Cameron run
and the scene of the wreck. and those
for the south had to remain under the
depot shed in this city until the track
was cleared,
