rather bad runaway in this village late
Wednesday afternoon. He and a young
man were coming up Seymour street
from the station with a pair of young
horses attached to a heavy wagon.
When they reached the corner at the
Congregational church a big dog fright
ened the horses, which began to kick.
The tongue Of the vehicle broke and the
horses ran. They were caught down
Court street. Mr.. Pierce was pulled or
thrown violently to the ground and was
picked up in a partially unconscious
condition. Doctors Sutton and Russell
were called to attend him in the Sterns

The physicians found MIR. Pierce's fore
head and face scratched and bruised, one
of his eyes injured and one shoulder hurt.
He was, however, able to ride home in

TRY TO MAKE THEOLOGY

solve questions which may be aolved,
which God probably means US to solve
more or less accurately, but which are
not meant for theology to settle, which,
God gives US other powers 10 reach. A
man takes theology to settle the prob
lens Of astronomy instead of studying
the stars, the God given way of knowing
astronomy, he tries to deduce from Gods
love man the theory that because God
loved man therefore he must have made
the world where man lived the center of
the universe, and so all other heavenly
bodies must go around this, our world.
Therefore 1t is concluded that the earth
does not and cannot 60 around the sun,
but the sun must go around the earth,
and whoever dares contradict that con-
clusion, founded upon the certain truth
that God love to man, let him be counted
an enemy to God and truth, and the
Bible, and evangelical thought, and let
him be called infldel, atheist and what
ever bad name may better suit the case /;
all this for the man who would rather

goes around the sun, all this for the man
that tries to see in Gods works how God

Moro OF Ht Done tn Great Britain Than In
the United States.

The total length Of railroads in Great Britain
is 81 PA miles. In the United states 1t Is or
was at the last computation, 1T9,s2l miles,
There Is moro than six times as much raiiroau
mileage therefore in this country as there Is in
Great Britain. and the population OF the United
States, it ought perhaps to be added, Is more
than double the population OF Great Britain.
The area Of the United States is 100000.
and that OF Great Britain 12l 900 square miles.
and Americana, 1t is we'll known, are greater
travellers than English people and have larger
means for such purposes. Yet Notwithstanding
these advantages 1t is n fact that the railroads
of Great Britain, with smaller mileage and
smaller territory to draw from do considerably
more passenger business than the RAILROADS OF
the United States combined.
Comparinp the figures at hand from Great
Britain with those last at hand from the rail-
fSas n Reas the namber OF
carried IN the United States lie 43.OOO.OOO. the
ssrrs @ sss' .
has been during the last two years aeGiine OF
passenger traffic on the railroads or the I Snited
States, and particularly so since the receipts or
American railroads we're ephemerally And 9- ae-
normally swollen by the business OF the Worln,s
Fair. But at the highest poin. the s,.nnan mum, l.
railroads was 100000. 900. or less than two
thirds Of the rarnsa OF t6ere
on oil the American railroads coilectlreiy
a. passenger cars in useor availaoie lor use
roads there were 5s,73s. There are twice as
many locomotives In use on American railroads
as there are on British railroads. but this dis
parity in the United States is explained by re
fact that American locomotives draw emery
freight trains, or. as they are called in ENGLAND,
good" trains. The freight or goods bust
ness Of American railroads is twice as great as
tho business OF British railroads in the same
line. In the last year computed the total num-
Der OF tons Of freight moved on American rail-
roads was 743. 100000. The year previous "
was 7oO,+T7 900; The average movement OF
goods" or freigh: In Great Britain in a year Is
900 OOO. 900, or less than one third.
British railroads as rule are much more
substantially constructed than are American
railroads The geographical obstacles are less.
capital is more readily obtained. labor Is
cheaper and. moreover. British railroads con;
OF being constructed on the tentative American
plan under which districts grow up about n
railroad. Many new lines. extensions, spurs.
and connections OF American roads are put, up
with no reasonable expectation OF immediate
return. and theSe, while adding to the railroad
mileage OF the country increase out shsntiy its
done BY American railroads is far In excess Of
that done by British railroads, though In respect
to the number OF passengers carried the rail-
roads OF the United States are very Tar behind.
Many Englishmen travel short distances.
