St. JOHNS rlISSION.

The visitation of the Right Reverend
Bishop of Fond du Lac to st. Johns
Mission Church, Centralia, was a
notable event for that church and
greatly enjoyed by those who partici-
pated in the services. Long before the
time appointed for the services the
church was filled to overhowing, large
number of people being unable to gain
admission owing to the small size OF
the building.
The services began witha Professional
Hymn, Coward Christian Soldiers"
finely sung by the Supplied Choir OF
Stevens Point while they slowly filed
into the church followed by the clergy
and lastly the Bishop, clad in the sacred
vestments peculiar to bis Office. The
Bishop was ushered in the service by
the Rev. Geo. Shelton and Rev. r. ii.
Weller, of Stevens Point. Later an
eloquent sermon was preached by the
Bishop using as a text st is expedient
for you that should go away" which
was listened to attentively by all
present. Following the sermon the
Apostolic Rite of Confirmation was
administered to class of twelve
persons, the candidates kneeling in
turn before the Bishop to receive the
blessing of the Church. Then a
occasional was sung and the "white
robed choristers' leading the way, the
priests and bishop following, the
services came to an end. The altar was
profusely laden with flowers among
which brightly cleaned wax candles
emblematic of "Christ the Light of the
World" 1t was a pretty scene and one
long to be remembered by those who
were present and who were so fortunate
as to hear so beautifully sung the fine
old music of the Church Of England

MET DEATH IN A WRECK.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, May 30.-Train No.
t on the Wisconsin Central railroad was
wrecked at lbs o'clock this morning al
Meanwhile, deserted station three
miles north of this city, and a terrible
calamity resulted. Immediately after
the wreck the train took fire and five
persons are known to have lost their
lives, being caught in the debris of the
wreck and burned alive. The dead are:
JAMES HUBBARD, engineer, Stevens
Point.
GEO. GEBGARDr, fireman, Stevens
Point.
w. B. RUSSELL, civil engineer, en-
ployed by the Wisconsin Central
company, Ste7ens Point
JUDsoN BIaELow, head brakeman,
Stevens Points,
Mrs. WEGxER, of Butternut, who
boarded the tain at Mellen; destination
Cadott.
Nine PASSENGERS were severely injured
Others were badly shaken up and
slightly bruised, but is believed no one

SCENE OF HORROR.
The scene presented by the wreck
was one of indescribable horror. The
cars containing the terrified and
wounded passengers were piled on top
Of each other, and from the chaotic
heap the piercing shrieks of the injured
and dying preceded in heartrendering
tones. To add to the horror the
wrecked cars Immediately took fire and
were soon roaring mass of flames. AS
soon as the flames broke out Conductor
Garyin uncoupled the rear sleeping cars
and day coach No. Z, and succeeded in
showing them back out of reach of the
flames. Some mail and baggage were
also saved from the the fire, but every
thing else was burned up.
AS soon as the uninjured passengers
could free themselves from the debris
of the wreck they Immediately rushed
to the assistance of their fellow passen-
gers less fortunate than themselves,
some OF whom were pinned down by
heavy beams and other parts of the
cars, and were unable to extricate
themselves. From fifteen to twenty
persons were rescued in this way before
the flames had time to reach them
Several, however, could not be reached
before the flames enveloped them.
The division superintendent set to
work at once caring for dead and in
jured, sending the bodies of those who
lived at Stevens Point and a number of
passengers down by special train. The
wounded were taken to the hotels here
When the body of the head brakeman,
BigeloW, was removed from the
wreckage he held in his hand his watch
and on his arm his lantern.
THE OPEN SWITCH.
Strong suspicious are entertained that
the switch was purposely thrown open
by some miscreant who desired to
plumber the train or wished to wreck it
from some equally diabolical motive.
An examination showed that a nut had
been removed from the switch, which
allowed it to get loose and fly open
when the train struck it. The fatal bolt
which held the split switch in position
was picked up about ten feet from the
end of the switch. Whether it was
removed and thrown there or broken

WISCONSIN WEATHER SERVICE.
| By Chas. E. Linney, Director for the Week end
ing Tuesday, May % 1884.
Bulletin No. Z.

Bulletin No. I.
The past week has generally been
favorable, although conditions have been
largely local, some sections report too
much rain others not enough. Temper
atures were low until Friday, when
warm weather advanced crops rapidly,
the cool weather having given a
sufficient recovery from the frost of the
previous week. The damage from the
frost is mostly in low-lying fields of
corn, young potato plants, a few oat
fields, garden truck and small fruit.
Small grain generally reported in
excellent condition. Oats are heading
out in southern counties.
Some planting of corn yet to be done
owing to wet and cold weather. A few
fields will also be replanted, seed having
rotted. \ few days of warm weather
will give large growth. Late potatoes
are being planted in central and
northern counties, large acreage
everywhere. with prospects favorable
thus far.
Tobacco plants are still under the
canvas but are large enough for setting
in many parts, ground is being prepared.
The acreage as heretofore reported will
be smaller than usual.
Cranberry vines were generally saved
from the late frosts by flooding and are
reported in good condition. Fire
worms are found in sections of Wood
County, what damage is yet to be
learned. The damage to other fruit is
mostly confined to berries and small
fruits, apples are generally reported all
right.

Proud of the Road.

Shiocton correspondence to the kau-
kauna Sun: We are getting to be proud
of our railroad. Not SO very long ago,
it used to be ridiculed, and Gov Peck
dubbed it the Green Bay & Jackassote
road in his Sun, but he would hardly
feel like attempting further witticisms
of that kind if he were to see the long

daily. Its business is growing steadily
and healthily. tits no temporary boom.
A trip westward gives one good idea

Scandinavia to lola is going to be a good
feeder of the main line, and is highly
appreciated by the thriving section
through which it runs. 1t vii! make lola
the leading ''potato town. of central
Wisconsin. Though this road is not a
part of the c. & \. w. system in its
ownership, it is practically so by its
system of tariff, and we WHO live along
it get the same freight rates and the
same prompt delivery of goods that we
would were we on the main line of the
c. q n. W. The "scoot," by which
euphonious name the train running from
Grand Rapids to Green Bay and back,
daily, is known, is of great convenience
to those living between the two places.
New rails are being laid, new ties putin,
ard the road bed is being improved
constantly. 1t would hardly be possible
to improve the present corps of con-
ductors. They are all gentlemanly,
courteous and obliging, and constantly
on the lookout for the comfort and
convenience of their passengers. This,
in itself, make the road popular among
its travelling patrons. Good luck to the
