A large number of delegates arrived
In the city yesterday from different
parts of the state, to attend the A. M {.
e. district conference, among whom
are Revs ] N Wright, r Young, A
Parker, | Charles Cray, Q = Hobbs, r
r Davis, g B Davis, and the presiding
elder, Rev A Wood.
The committee on the examination
of local preachers was in session ali
day yesterday, and had before 1t a
very large number of applicants for
local preachers license The commit
tee concluded their work, and will re-
port to the conference today. The
committee is as follows: Rev A Par

ber of people was present at the ex-
animation, very much against the
wishes of the examiners,
Rev, [. G. Cray is the author of a
book entitled "The Revealed Word of
God; or Our Lost Brother Found" 1t
was our good pleasure to see this
book, and 1t is indeed a credit to any
man, and consequently credit to the
people that man represents. In an
able and masterful argument Rev.
Cray said, In substance, that after the
food had gone down and the ark
rested upon the summit of Mount Ara
ret, the people that came out were the
only living human beings upon the
globe, and that they were all mem
bers of one family-father and sons,
mother and dauGhters-and that the
world of mankind today is bat one
huge family grown out from that small
one which came out of the ark. His
address was full of information, and
we'll received. Rev. Cray's book ought
to be in the home of every negro aud
especially every intelligent negro.
The conference convenes today, and
the program is as follows: Organiza-
ton, ReY A Wood, chairman; well
come address in behalf of the church,
by Rev r H Singleton; welcome ad
dress in behalf of the citizens, DIR r
Fl Johnson; response to the church's
welcome, Rev G Cray, of Pearson;
response to the citizens welcome, Rev
R r Davis, of bonneville; financial
and spiritual report; annual sermon
by Rev w HI Wells. of Waycross. All
are cordially invited.
Rev. M. Stephens, of the c.. M. E.
church IN Florida, will preach his
farewell sermon at st. Andrews c.
M. e. church, corner Albany and K

to come.
The lamp contest at the Odd Eel

The Broadwater Finally Secures a Right
of Way to Tunnel No. q,
Great Falls, Dec. after a fight
lasting for several months and which
at one time threatened to result in the
closing down of the Broadwater mine
at Neihart, the company has at last
secured a right of way to construct
tramway from Tunnel No. s to point
on the railroad. This news will be
welcomed in Neihart, where the fight
for the right of way. even among citi-
zens, grew 40 warm as to result in per-
sonal attacks.
The company to the present time has
been hauling its ore from the mine
to the railroad track The cost OF this
mode was so great that IL was ALMOST
impossible to continue work. Less than
a year ago the tramway scheme was
decided upon. but when IL car to Sc

DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT.
The Train Was Going Down the Durha m
Grade mt Terrific Speed.

The Train Was Going Down the Durha IN
Grade at Terrific Speed.
Great Falls, Dec. "a special from
Blackfoot. dated yesterday, gives the
following account of the wreck on the
main line of the Great Northern near
Durham station, in which Engineer
Clarke lost his life: "A terrible wreck
has just occurred on the Great North
ern road at point opposite this
agency and at distance of nearly
three miles. The eastbound passenger
train, due at Blackfoot at H.: 55 o'clock
last night, was nine hours late, and
was tearing down the grade from Dur
ham toward Blackfoot at. terrific
speed with two engines and a snow
pillow III advance. At point midway
between the two stations the engines
and snow pillow were demolished from
what cause is not known. Both the en-
gines We're completely wrecked and it
is thought that both the engineers and
their firemen were killed. The body of
Engineer Clarke of Kalispell has not yet
been found. The mail car was shot out
into the snow on the prairie a distance
of so yards from the track. A frightful
blizzard is prevailing, and it is impos-
sible to see any distance. Negro Jack
Ball of Havre was on the train and ran
all the way from the wreck through the
binding storm to the Blackfoot agency
for help, just arriving here. Teams
with doctors, bandages, ETC., and all the
laborers are being sent by the Indian
agent to the scene to render all assist
ance possible and the Indian police are
instructed to bring the injured to the
hospitals here. The fury of the storm
has been increasing ever since yester-
day morning and it is feared the in
jured persons will suffer terribly in
making the trip to the agency"
Engineer Clarke was formerly a res
ident of this city. He was employed
in a similar capacity on the Montana
Central between here and Havre. 1t
was with feelings of genuine sorrow
his many friends here learned of his
tragic end.

The district, he says, is very rich. AL

SHEEP SHELTER.
An Old-Time Wool Grower Claims to Have
Solved the Problem.

Great Falls. Dec. Oscar Bracket
of Tercy who is an old time wool
grower. has, he claims, just solved the
question of sheep shelter Experience
has taught those interested, that
roof on sheds will not turn water and
that during rains or melting snow the
ground underneath sheep covered in
this manner is much worse than if
there was no shed at all. To do away
with this condition Mr. Bracket has
purchased several large tarpaulins
made of 12-ounce duck and of the re-
quired size. These fastened to posts
and a ridge pole about five feet above
the ground will form the new plan.
Panels will be made with hinges TO
open up and place around the sides to
be opened or closed as the shutting out
of the wind may require. Thus a port
able shed will be had sufficient to shut
out the winter storm and will also be
available for lambing pens in the
spring. As sheep crowd up during cold
weather Mr.. Bracket believes that 1x3
feet will be sufficient space for one
sheep and as many as deemed advis-
able. at different seasons, can be shell
tered.
