ton; very highly recommended by DR.. Har-
land and DR.. Jennison and other prominent
physicians is combination in table form of
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic

giving waSE, carrying a crowded street car
with 1t. ~ sham fight and review was to
take placeI at Macaulay Point, near Es-
quimault, i'm the afternoon, and crowds
were making their way there All the
tram cars lwere packed. Two cars left
Government street with upwards of a
hundred people. The first got over Point
Ellie bridge safely, but when the other
was about hthlf way over the middle span
of the bridge{ about 100 feet in length, gave
way and the lcar plunged into the water,
100 feet below. The cur was completely
submerged AND all on board were drowned
with the exception of some of those on the
platform, WHO managed 10 save them
selves by swimming, There were GER
tainly over flfgy lives lost.
Numbers of the bodies have already been
! gotup, and the work of Identification is
proceeding. Lib is a difficult matter, as a
great many of the bodies are those of
visitors.
So far as at present known the dead are
| Mrs. Adams and her son Frederick, e. b.
| Carmichael and wife, J. B. Gordon, of
Vancouver, representative of Bradstreets

When the bridge broke there were sew

were precipitated into the water, Super
intendent WILSON was driving one of these
and had his five children with him. He
succeeded in saving himself and four OF
the children, but the fifth, a little boy,wa
wedged between the iron bars and wa;

The sad affair has cast deep gloom ovel
the city AS soon as the news of the acci
dent reached Macaulay Point the review
was brought to a speedy termination, as
under the circumstances it was impossi

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunder-
man, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted
to make this extract Il have no hesitation
in recommending DR.. Kings New Discovery,
as the results were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist church at Rives Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeeding
La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing
would last hours with little interruption and
it seemed as if she could not survive them.
A friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results" Trial bottles

a Victory for the Christian Endeavorcrs
az saratoga.
SARATOGA, y. T.. May 2T-Christian
Endedyor won victory yesterday in the
Presbyterian general assembly. Tho,eiu-
terested in the movement We're in the ma
jOiity, and they exercised their power.
They eliminated most of the report of
the committee on relations of young
people to the church, and discharged
the committee. The sum total Of the as
sembly's action comprised the adop-
ton of "a statement Of relations between
individual societies and churches which
was directed to be read in the various So
cieties, and Of provision for the collec-
tion of Christian Endeavor statistics. Pro-
vision was also made for a committee of
five to report on the Brotherhood of An
drew and Philip and on boys brigades
The discussion on the report on home
missions showed that the assembly was on
the brink of an outbreak on the subject of
new Presbyterian building in New York.
The action finally taken has been variously
interpreted. 1t contemplated the inaugu-
ration of synodical sustentation of the
mission work within the bounds of each
synod and some of the members of the
assembly have expressed themselves as be-
lieving this to be the first step towards
the disintegration of the board of home
missions. The resolutions provide for
closer presbyterial inspection of requisi-
tions on the mission board; for a move
ment towards self support within each
presbytery and synod, and fora committee
of nine to advise with the board as to re-
trenchment, the causes of the present debt
and improved methods Of retrenchment.
