Democrats, who belong to the congre-
cation, are not contributing their share
OF his salary in order that Addicks
may have stationed in Wilmington at
all times and seasons, a ministerial ad-
vocate and orator. The church was
comparatively young. It needed a
young and active man to build up its
congregation and support, and one who
would devote his entire time and en-
ergies to the work. The congregation
agreed to pay so much for such ser
vices, but there we're no Addicks, or
Hoffecker and Willis reservations in
the contract. II Mr. Short had asked
for such reservations he would doubt
less have been told to go and find an
other job, as those interested in the
church did not propose to have 1t used
as headquarters for Addicksism, or
any other ism, save Methodism. That
is the only sensible and business-like
manner In which the situation can be
sized up.

THEIR OWN FAULT.
The Persons Killed in the Accident
Near Holeb, Monday,

Platform.

Greenyille Junction, April 22.-The

working since Tuesday morning. have

Holeb. Maine, on the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. Traffic was resumed, this
morning State Coroner Addition of
Skowhegan, arrived, this morning. and
investigated the cause of the accident.
He finds the railroad company in no
way culpable for the accident or death
the accident was caused by a bad
washout. Section men only two hours
before the accident went over the spot
where the train went in and every thing
appeared all right.
The wrecked train was composed of
an engine, a box baggage car. three
colonists cars and Division Superinten-
dent Van Zeilles' private sleeper. The
train was in charge of Conductor 5.
BeatOn, Engineer c. A. Lowell and VIM.
Tant, fireman. At the time of the ac-
cident the train was running slow as
water had been over the tracks in
some places. The first thing wrong
the engineer noticed was a swirl in the
water side of a blind culvert which the
train was then crossing. He applied
the emergency brake but the engine
left the track and toppled over. The
track sank out of sight and the bag
gage car went into hole. The other
cars remained upright and all but the
last remained on the track. The three
killed were standing on the platform
contrary to repeated warnings of the
brakeman and the Dominion govern
ment interpreter, who was in charge
of the party when the engine left the
track.
The platforms were crushed against
each other and the three We're killed
