and it is believed that two will die. The
accident occurred near the town of
Marietta.
A heavy rainstorm amounting almost to
water spout, caused a sudden rise this
morning of all the small streams in that
vicinity. The accident occurred at point
by a woIien trestle. The foundation
works supporting this trestle was under
mined by the sudden rise of the Little
stream which flows through the gulch and
weight of the train. So great was the
speed of the train. however, that the
engine and tender, the express, mail and

present at both occasions. In the even
ing the subject of Rev. Henry's sermon
was Sin He took his text from Job
40: Il have sianed; what can I do
unto thee, oh thou watcher of men,
and spoke in substance as follows:
In planning your life it is very i'm
portant that you take into account the
fact of sin. Sin is an ugly word, but
1t stands for an ugly fact Sin if left
undisturbed Will ruin your life lust as
surely as weeds VIII ruin your garden
or thistles the finest of pasture land
Sin consists not in any especial act,
but in being out of harmony with God
and his laws. A little sin shuts ont
the sight of God as a speck on the eye
glass of a telescope win shut out a
world from the view Of an astronomers
eve. Now God makes high demands
OF us and we do ourselves the utmost
wrong to keep him out of our life.
Being out of harmony with God
brings its own punishment. You miss
knowledge of yourselves that you
would otherwise possess; you I'M
consciously take lessons of a world
that has forgotten God and that is
Fastening to certain ruin; YOU ara
possessed by a spirit of uneasiness and
unrest. I do not preach much against
drunkenness, gambling. RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AiAUuiSltiS III iidfIIlIuI dDluSemenlS, De-
cause the roct of the whole matter lies
infinitely deeper than all these You
may not do anv OF these things and
yet throw your life away Come into
conscious harmony with God and ali
these questions will settle themselves.
Law does not trouble you unless you
are an outlaw. The thought of God
and Of his law does not trouble you I'M
less you are at discOrd with him. Who
can be more miserable than a man out
of harmony with his surroundings Out
Of harmony with God. Where will YOU
find peace? There is no hell even if
you mean place where God is not
God never changes his attitude to-
ward any man because of his sin. He
loves still, governs by the same law,
gives the same temporal blessings. You
wonder why this is so. Yet there is a
difference in effect. TO some a SAVIOR
of life unto life-to others of death
unto death" Gods gifts are wealth
and poverty, sickness and health, sue
cess and failure. One of these gifts
may turn men in different directions
the same as a breeze carries the ship
in opposite directions.
In view of this fact of sin that is
running life for us-what can we do?
1t will do us no good to run, hide. forget
or become reckless. There is but one
course. God has made provision. He
sent his only begotten sen to die that
we might live. Follow him and your
sin will be wiped away.

No More Sunday Fights.

Mexico City, May 16.-The city gov
eminent forbade any bull fight to be
given today. The authorities claim the
bulls provided for the fights are so poor
they do not justify the price Of admis-

Enrique Meriro, a Spanish bull fight

farms of AtencO and other places and
his judgment is that none of the bulls
shown him We're worthy of the ring.
The poorness of the animals is getting

to look as if bull fighting would stop
for lack of animals to fight. The gov
eminent is firm and no performances
will be allowed with inferior cattle. A
shipioad of bulls has been ordered from
Spain to meet the emergency.

SENATE AND HOUSE.
PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK NOT
YET DECIDED UPON.
In the Senate All Will Depend Upon
the Course the Cuban Question
May Take-Quite a Number of the
Solons Have Bills Ready.

Washington, May 1.-THE house leaders
have not yet decided upon the methods
by which they will make their response TO
the presidents message winch VIII De
asking for relief for the starving Ameri-
cans in Cuba. That the response will be
quick and complete, however, there is no
reason to doubt In the present condition
of affairs in the house methods of pro
cedure are open.
Ordinarily, the message would go to
the committee on foreign AFFAIRS Tor con-
sideration, and that CAnmittee would re-
port a bill which wouiq come back to the
house for action through the regular
channels. The speaker could, IN the pres
ent emergency, simply appoint this COM
mittee and let the whole subject take
the regular course.
But it is hardly likely that this will be
done. The subject is so well understood
that it will probably be thought that the
members. with the message and the ac
complaining document which the presi-
dent will transmit before them, can act
1ntelligently without committee report
If the committee is not appointed. two
other courses will be open. First. after
the receipt of the message, a bill may be
formulated by the leaders and a special
order reported by the committee on rules
for its consideration. 2'hiS would bring
the whole question at once before the
house for action. But this method would
be Instantaneous perhaps. in that both
houses struggling to the same end stimuli
taneously would act on different bills. thus
entalling delay for adjustment of diff
ferenceS in conference.
The most likely course is that the house
will await the action of the senate, if
action is had promptly and then consider
the senate bill or joint resolution under a
special order. The sentiment in favor of
the resolution of the Cuban insurgents
is strong in the house. and a very radical
measure might be passed if the house
was allowed free action. With a senate
measure, dealing only with the question
of the relief of the suffering Americans
between the house under a special ordr
possibility OF amendment would be cut
off and the house would be compelled to
accept or reject it as passed by the SEN
ate. The conference report on the Indian
bill probably will come before the house

SENATE POSSIBILITIES.

Washington, May 16.-The proceedings
in the senate next week are by no means
settled All will depend upon the course
which the Cuban question may take. Sem
ator Morgans joint resolution occupies
the favored place on the calendar, and
there is little doubt that il will be taken
UP at the appointed hour Monday. Still
there is slight possibility that the eX-
Dected message of the president may
cause poStponement, and that the char
acte~ OF his recommendation may have
a bearing that wifi influence the tenor of
the resolution that ultimately will be
adopted. The Alabama senator will not
stand in the way OF action in accordance
with such recommendation, as the pres
ident may make upon this subject, but
he will insist that it shall be indeDend-
ent OF that. and it shall in no wise inter-
fere with his resolution providing for rec
ognition of Cuban belligerency.
With the Cuban question in its pres
ent shape, and with no other pressing
business before the senate, the debate on
tbs subject will be of uncertain dura-
ton. 1t may continue, practically, all
the week. and it may come TO very
sudden and speedy termination. There is
little or no doubt that the Morgan reso-
luton will pass when a vote is reached,
and the indications are that the majority
for it will be the greater of the recent
delay. There will continue to be some
opposition and the plea will be made that
any material aid given in accordance with
executive recommendation is all that can
be reasonably expected. If Cuba does
rot occupy the entire attention OF the
weel. much of the time is likely to be
given to the general calendar. Senator
Gear will make an effort to have the
Pacific railroad bill considered. while
Senator Lodge will, if the opportunity Of
fe-s, make the same effort in behalf of
the immigration bill.
Senator Pettigrew Will call up the reso-
luton for the investigation of the Pacific
railroad land patents.
The Indian appropriation bill will be
brought in on a conference report. In it
there remains only the one point of diff
ference in the Uncompahgre lands to be
settled. The sundry civil conference prob
abl:, will be postponed until Senator AL
liso:.'s return to the city. Senator NAL
lor.. the new Florida senator, will be in
Quoted into office early in the week.
Senator Aldrich viii make the opening
statement in behalf OF the tariff bill on
tie part of the majority of the finance
committee on Tuesday, but it will rest
with individual senators whether the de-
bate shall be continued beyond this speech
at that time The probabilities are that
the statement will produce some badinage
ard that after this the senate will adj
journ until the following Monday when
the debate will begin in earnest. Sena-
tor Aldrich is expected to fully explain
the position of himself and colleagues
and to make quite an elaborate presen-
tation of the subject
