On the seat in front of me in the
passenger coach was a little Old woman
wearing sunbonnet and Il calico
dress, and l noticed that every time
the train whistled for highway cross
ing she seemed TO expect an accident.
l felt it my duty to assure her that
there was no danger, and she seemed
much relieved as she replied:
"Ever since the accident to Dan'l
I've felt skeert of these yere kyars, but

I've bin down to Knoxville to see the
railroad folks about it. They tried to
skeer me of, but l let 'em know what
was what. When got in whar the
big man was SEE to him. SEE I:
"'1'm the widow of Danl Forbish Of
Anderson county, what was picked up
by yo'r railroad and histed thirty feet

1t Floated Though Designed to Sink

Admiral Tryon's dispatch-box. which
was found floating after the Victoris
had foundered, was specially made to
contain the code of signals. OF course
it was desired to keep this code a Sc
cret, so, in order to provide against
the risks of accidents, the box was
lined with lead aud perforated with
many holes to insure its at once sink
inc to the bottom of the sea if it hap
pened to come into the water. 1t
would be interesting to learn who were
the designers of this box which, being
specially constructed to sink, hoared
safely and is now at the admiralty, a
most practical proof of the fallibility
of our experts. Iruth.

COOKMAN'S NEW CHURCH.
THE CORNERSTONE LAID WITH I'M
PRESSlVe SERVICES.

An Interesting Address by Rev. T. T..
Terry-His Reasons for Being Meth
Odist-Rev. Dr. Merritt Hulburd Makes
an Address.
Yesterday afternoon tine cornerstone
Of the new Cookman NJ. e. Church was
laid with appropriate exercises. Presid-
ing Elder Barrett acted as chairman. An
interesting address was made by Rev. 4.
r Terry, pastor Of st. Paurs NJ. e.
Church. He said that he did not join
the Methodist church because his parents
were Methodists, but because he loved
its policy and its communion. The
Methodist church, he said. stands for all
that Is best in religion. The church has
done much for the country. When the
country was cursed with slavery the
members Of the Acknowledgement, right in
the slave country, fought the slave power
To-day the Methodist church Is a great
temperance society. 10 stands for more
than temperance It is for complete
prohibition People expect more from
Methodists than they do from the other
sects He expected that where the
Cookman Church was founded there
would always be a Methodist church.
OF the ground still there would be an
active Methodist church there; and when
i Gabriel's trumpet would blow, calling the
nations to judgment, in his opinion there
would be a Methodist church on the
ground where Cookman was started.
Millard Il. Toft read a history of the
church which was recently published
in the EVENING JOURNAL II was placed
in the cornerstone.
Rev. DR.. Hulburd made a few remarks
He said that the Methodist church wal

tree Beneath its shade little children
