The New Patrol Wagon Horses Smash
Buggy in Going to Fire.
When the alarm Of fire came in, last
evening, the patrol wagon responded,
the Island fire team being hitched TO
the rig for the first time, the horses
having been brought over during the
day, in accordance with the arrange
ment by which the VigiIant horses
went to the Eighth ward, and the
Eighth ward horses To the Island, until
a new team for the Eighth ward engine
could be purchased. On the South Side
George Kemple had buggy standing,
aud the patrol wagon collided with it,,
dishing the buggy wheels, bending the
axles, and injuring Mr.. Kemple's horse.
Both Mr.. Maloney. the driver OF the
wagon, and Mr.. Kempe appeared be-
fore the Police Committee last evening,
Mr. Kempe asking for an adjustment
OF the matter of damages. Mr.. Malo-
ney stated the horses were new to him,
and that he could not control them. He
also said the rear wheels OF the buggy
were turned away from the curb, and
that he had either TO run into the bng-
gy or fire engine. Mr.. Maloney agreed
to stand the expenses Of repairs to the
buggy. and the matter was settled on
that basis.

A STATE JOURNAL.

The discussion was free and general,
and il brought ont among other matters,
a suggestion regarding State journal.
This project was argued at some length,
and the matter finally disposed OF by
reference to the executive committee.

taken in the near future toward start
ing an official organ for the c. h. union

encouragement 10 guarantee its Imam
cial success.

loving the natural beauties Of Wheel

great many members OF the local Prot

the young peoples societies, mingled
with the visitors, contributing all in
their power TO make the occasion an
epioyable one. The return trip was
made on the. five o'clock motor, al
though many fingered an hour longer,
reluctant to depart from the beautiful
spot.
NEXT CONVENTION AT GRAFTON.
There was spirited contest in the
morning, in the committee on place OF
next meeting, between the representa-
tive of New Cumberland and Grafton.
Both cities presented strong claims for
the convention. The committee was OF
the opinion that it would not be the
proper thing to hold two successive an
nual meetings in the Pan'H andle, and
for this reason decided TO recommend
Grafton as the place for the convention
in '94. The report was adopted by the
invention without discussion. An Of
fort will be made TO bring the "a con-
yention to New Cumberland.
The committee on resolutions did not
present its report until the evening SEES
sion, when 1t was unanimously adopted.

CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE

in true Christian activity. In other
words 1t intensifes that experience.
The societies are mutually helpful. Mr..
Green Ruttencutter, OF st. Marys, and
others discussed the subject.
After the reading of the resolutions
given in substance above, President AL
ford announced that owing to the late
ness OF the hour the farewell consecra-
tion," with which the evening pro-
gramme closed, would be omitted.
The next topic, Conference OF MIS-
sions," was then taken up. President
Afford facetiously remarked that Rev,
Hit was this time ''miss," since be
was unable to be present. Rev. DR.. w.
H. Cooke consented 10 conduct this
feature Of the session, opening 1t by
reading passage from the Scriptures.
Rev. DR.. d. A. Cunningham read a
thoughtful paper which he will deliver
before the Chautauqus Assembly, and
held the undivided attention OF his
hearers. A number of delegates partlci-
pated in the discussion which followed,
and closed the proceedings OF the con-
vention. The final session drew the
largest audience of the three days, the
church being completely filled and many
using chairs in the aisles.
