REAR END COLLISION.

The north-bound regular freight train
was overtaken by an extra freight just
above St. Johnsbury Center late Friday
night and a collision resulted. The
extra crashed into the rear end of the
regular train, driving the caboose ahead
into box car and derailing several
other cars. The engine on the extra was
somewhat damaged, but fortunately no
one was injured. 1t took several hours
to clear the track, delaying the trains in
the meantime.

The Epworth League convention has
come and gone and st. Johnsbury has
had one of the best religious conventions
ever held within its borders. The
weather was perfect and while the num-
Der of deleg ates did not quite come up to
what was expected enough came to
make a very profitable conventian.
Over 300 delegates were present and
most of them stayed over until this
morning. Rev. T. lyric and all the
members of Grace Methodist church who
worked so hard to make the convention
a success can congratulate themselves on
their efforts. We give below a running
account of the convention.
Wednesday Afternoon.
The first meeting of the convention
opened at 230 p. m. in Grace Methodist
church. The church was not filled, so
Presiding Elder Hamilton in the absence
of Rev. Thomas Tyrie, who was busy
elsewhere, rose and asked people to come
up and sit in the front seats, saying it
was a pity the church was not larger so
we could get farther apart, which raised
a smile and drew the audience more
closely together.
Miss Gorham presided at the organ,
and played a prelude, after which the
familiar hymn Coronation" was sung
by the congregation standing.
Scripture reading by Rev. 1. P. Chase
of St. Johnsbury Centre followed, being
selections referring to the field, the work
ers and results Of work. He said we
have come again to our annual meeting,
and let us give thanks to Him who has
blessed us in the past. A few minutes of
silent prayer were then united in, after
which Mr.. Chase led in prayer and
thanksgiving for the results of the past
year in the church and the Epworth
League, praise for the prospect for the
future and prayer for more success than
in the past, and for blessing upon this
convention and New England through
it. Earnest petition was made for the
members of the League that they may
be blessed and permeated by the spirit
of Jesus. All there joined in repeating
the Lords prayer
Rev. Edward M. Taylor of Boston,
president of the First General District of
the League, began speaking by calling
to mind the day year ago when he
first took up the responsibilities of presi-
dent. He said the year had been Won
derfully blessed. None of the officers had
been taken away from them, and but
one had been laid aside by illness. The
hymn "And are we yet alive, was sung
at his request, to express the feeling Of
gratitude all felt
Mr.. Taylor repeated the invitation to
come mp and fill the front seats so the
rear ones would be lett for late arrivals
from the trains, which was a wise provi.
sion, as, at The close of the meeting the
church was full.
A motion was put and passed that the
president have the nominating of neces-
sary committees, the names to be pre-
sented in the evening. Presiding Elder
Hamilton made the announcement that
the evening service would be in Music
hall at 7,3O.
Rev. Mr.. TAYLOR in resuming said in
part This is not the opening session of
the convention, but it takes place in the
evening. The local committee thought
we could have a profitable meeting in
the afternoon, and results have shown
