DROWNED LIKE RATS.

A dispatch from Victoria, B. c., says
the most terrible accident that ever
took place in that vicinity happened
about o'clock yesterday evening when
an electric car fell through the Point
Ellice bridge into an arm of James
bay, drowning over sixty persons. A
sham battle at Macaulay Point was on
the programme yesterday as part of
the celebration of the queens birthday
and nearly the whole population of the
city had gone to witness it.
The electric cars running out to the
scene of the battle had been over
crowded all the forenoon.
The car to which the accident hap
pened contained about eighty persons.
Even the roof was occupied.
In crossing the Point Ellice bridge it
left the track, crashed through the rail-
ings and fell into the water seventy-fve
feet below. The fall was so sudden
and unexpected that all the passengers
went down with it.
The car foated for a moment and
then was carried down by the weight
of the metal work attached to it.
Those inside were unable to escape
and were drowned like rats in trap.
Some of those on the outside escaped
by swimming, but many, stunned by
the fall, or unable to swim, were
drowned.
1t is believed that fifty or sixty per-
SONS were drowned.
AS soon as possible the work of re-
covering the bodies was begun and is
now being pushed vigorously forward.
Later reports say that q defective
span in the bridge gave away. Several
private carriages were also precipitated
into the bay.
The number of carriages lost and the
foot passengers carried down in the
wreck cannot be learned. 1t is claimed
by many that fully two hundred persons
went down with the span, and that
more than half of them persisted. The
accident occurred so quickly that no.
body has very clear recollection of
what TRANSFERRED.

Tho Victoria bridge Horror.

VICTORIA, B. O., May 27.-Through-
out the night and far into the morning
thousands of anxious watchers surged
about the approaches to Point Ellice
bridge, the scene of yesterdays disaster,
watching the work of recovering the
bodies. When the sixty first corpse had
been brought to the surface, the res.
cuers announced that they could find
no more bodies under the wreckage.
Still nearly thirty people are missing
whose fate may not be known for days.
1t is possible that many were carried
out by the strong tide. The arm of the
pay will be carefully dragged to-day
and by evening the full extent of the
disaster may be made known. 1t is
now conjectured that nearly 200 people
were carried down with the defective
structure and that less than half of
them survive.

Northern Presbyterians.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 27.-In the
general Presbyterian Assembly this
morning Prof. F. NJ. Burdick, of Co.
lumbia College, was nominated to fill
the vacancy as treasurer of Union Sem
mary. Prof. Burdick is an elder in
West End Church in New York city,
which DR.. Briggs attends. AS soon as
it became known that Prof. Burdick
was to be so nominated, there was so
much objection to his name that the
committee have laid over the whole
matter for further consideration.
The overture relating to the Scotch
Church, New York, troubles was re-
ferred back to the signeis with recon-
mendations to submit the case formally
to the Presbytery of New York for trial.
At the close of the morning session
the report on theological seminary con-
troll was placed in the hands of the COM
missioners, the discussion thereon being
the special order for $50 o'clock to-day.

GO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
A Horrible Crime.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 27.-About II
o'clock last night neighbor by the
name of Page, living at Campbell, near
this city, heard shots in the direction OF
the home of Col. R. P. McGlincy. AL
most Immediately after there came the
sound of galloping hoofs on the road.
Hurriedly dressing, Page proceeded 10
the home of the McGlincies and was
Mortified to find the body of Col. Nc
Glincy lying in an clubhouse in a pool
of blood. Entering the house he found
the bodies of James Wells, Mrs. Nc
Glincy's son, who had been shot; Mrs.
McGlincy and her daughter, Mrs. Jss.
Durham, who had been stabbed 10
death: James Briscoe, the hired man,
and Minnie Shesler, the hired girl,
who had been hacked to death with q
hatchet by James Durham, McGlincy' s
son.in-law. The rooms where the
bodies of the victims lay were espat-
tered with blood and there was every
evidence to show that the dead had
made a desperate struggle for. their
lives. Page at once notified the au-
thorities in this city and large num-
Ger of men left at once for the scene OF
the murder. Every one seems to be
in absolute darkness as to the motive
for the fearful crime. So far as known
Col. McGlincy and Durham were on
amicable teams. The last seen OF Dun
ham he was riding rapidly toward Jan
Jose. The only being in the house
who escaped alive was q baby one
month old, the child of Mrs. Durham
and the alleged murderer.

CLEVELAND, O., May 27.-The fea-
ture of this mornings session of the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church was the adoption of
the resolution providing for an i'm
mense church insurance company, to
compete with the great companies OF
the world. The session was exciting
and confusion reigned all the morning.
Bishop Fowler had his hands full to
keep order. :,
The conference wrangled for q half
hour over the adoption of a resolution
providing for constitutional commits
sion. 1t will be composed of six minis.
ters, six laymen and three bishops and
will report to the General Conference
of 1900.
Resolutions calling on the United
States to negotiate with the nations OF
Europe for the relief of stricken Ar
menia were adopted.

RELIGIOUS.

The Baptist anniversaries at Asbury
Park were concluded yesterday.
In the Southern Presbyterian Assem-
bly, at Memphis yesterday the report
of the standing committee on education
was submitted. 1t was adverse to the
proposition that the executive commit
tee on education be abolished and
Its work given to the executive COM
mittee on publication. 1t recommend
ed the appropriation of $4,000 among
the presbyteries for the current year.
The report was docketed. The report
of the committee on colored evangelical
ton, read by DR.. Nourse, recommends
ed that the Ferguson-Williams College,
in South Carolina, be purchased for
$1,000. The afternoon session was de-
voted to consideration of the offer OF
the city of Fredericksburg, Va, to give
10000 for the assembly's school. The
offer was accepted, after long debate,
by vote of SO to 49.
At the Methodist General Conference
in Cleveland, yesterday, the newly
elected bishops, Charles Cardwell Nc
Cabe, Earl Cranston and Joseph Hart
zell, were consecrated. The report of
the temperance committee was adopted
as read. 1t declares to be the duty OF
each member of the church to be a
total abstainer; it condemns license,
asserting that the government becomes
partner in the traffic by permitting
the sale of liquors; it declares that the
only proper attitude of the church to-
ward the traffic is relentless enmity, as
the time will come when all good citi-
zens must unite to oppose it and advance
to its total determination. The recon-
mendation of the committee on educa-
ton against extravagancei in decorations
on Children's Day was adopted. The
report of the committee on constitution
was taken up and considerable progress
was made. No radical changes were
made.
Christian Eudeavor won victory in
the Presbyterian General Assembly at
Saratoga, N. Y. Those interested in
the movement eliminated most of the
report of the committee on relations of
young people to the church, and dis
charged the committee. The discus
sion on the report on home missions
showed that the assembly was on the
brink of an outbreak on the subject Of
the new Presbyterian building in New
York. The resolutions adopted pro-
vide for closer presbyterial inspection
of acquisitions on the mission board, for
