WERE STRUCK BY 4 TRAIN
Narrow Escape OF H Grove and

Their Carriage Was Dem mOlishei and
It's Occupants Were Badly
Shaken Up

ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb THE 4:30-
o'clock broad gauge local from the pier,
drawn by engine 1921, struck and demol-
ished a carriage on the crossing in the
marsh, Just north of Mastick station, this
afternoon. The carriage was the property
of Martin & Crome, and was being driven
by Herbert Crome of 25O6 Eagle avenue,
junior member of that firm.
Mr.. Crome was returning from San
Francisco where he had taken Mrs. Mar
garetta Molk and Mrs. Annie Toll. a
daughter, TO the burial of Their son and
brother, John Molk. They crossed the
bay on the o'clock creek boat and had
driven up Webster street and taken the
marsh road into the city. The track is
clear of all distractions from the Alice
street bridge to this point, and it is i'm
possible to understand how such an acci-
dent could have occurred.
Mr.. Crome was thrown from his seat
and hls head was badly injured He was
attended by DR.. Reynolds, who dressed
his wounds and said he would recover in
time. The ladies were badly shaken up
an suffered nervous shock which will
confne them both to their beds for some
time to come.
The carriage is lying in the marsh along
side the road, broken beyond repairs. The
train stopped, and taking the injured

statement at this mornings service of his
side OF the matter that has split the con-
gregation, but owing to the rain the at
tendance was so small that he refrained.
The pastor would have said that he has
no desire to stay in church where he is
not wanted, but that he proposes that
everything shall be done decently and in
order.
Somehow or other" said the pastor to-
day, Centennial Church is in an awk-
ward position. There is the EImhurst
Presby yterians on one side and the
Brooklyn Presbyterian Church on the
other and we are sandwiched in between,
with both sides pulling away from us.
Next Wednesday evening there is to be q
general meeting of the congregation and
the whole matter will be decided"
The dissatisfaction between the two ele-
ments in the church is not confined to the
older members, but prevails as bitterly
among the younger people. Several of the
young ladies have expressed some very
strong opinions about their society which
created much interest some months ago.
The society was called the IN. NJ" So
ciety, and it was given out that the letters
meant mary or move" and that if by a
certain time the members did not marry
they must move out of the neigh borhood.
Whether this was the idea or not, IL was
generally believed to be the case, and the
young ladies declare that the pastor
caused them to obtain much unpleasant
notoriety.
On the other hand, the friends OF the
pastor declare that he is no way RESPONSE
pie for any unpleasantness among the
young folks and that he only helped along
practical movement for mutual culture
and progress.
Rev. DR.. Coyle recently stated that the
trouble appeared TO be between money on
one side and members on the other and

Bishop Nlchols at St. Andrew,s.

OAKLAND, Call, Feb. This evening
Bishop Nichols of this parish made his
annual visit TO st. Andrews Parish. A
class OF candidates have been receiving
instructions from the rector for several
weeks past, and at this service they re-
celved the apostolic rite of confirmation.
The Bishop, who IS a forcible speaker,
preached the sermon and addressed the
candidates. Since the last visit of the
Bishop valuable improvements have been
made in the church, especially by the ad-
dition of costly stained-glass windows to
the end and sides of the chancel. The
organ debt has been considerab bly, reduced,
and also the floating Indebtedness, not
withstanding the hard times. 1t has also
been decided to have vested choir of
mix ed voices, under the leadership of 6.
Hall and Miss Maxwell, organist. The
vestments for the young ladies are now
being made and in short time the

BLEEDING PILES.

Thousands Of men and women are afflicted
with some sort of piles, without either know
ing the exact nature Of the trouble. or know
ing it, are careless enough to allow it to run
without taking the simple means offered fora
radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to per
maneutIy cure piles has led many TO believe
the only cure TO he a surgical operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and moreover not often entirely successful
and at this time are no longer used 10y the

of piles, whether blind, bleeding or protrud-
ing, Is to use the Pymmid Pile cure COM

of Mugwump, or less firm in his
Republicanism, it is doubtful If the

shown any opposition to him.
In view of the statements put forth
by these pseudo Republicans it is
quite pertinent to refer to the report
of the joint committee appointed by
the last legislature to investigate the
conduct of these two offices This
committee consisted of three Sen

House, representing both political
parties. and made its report TO the
Legislature on March 23rd last The
report was an exhaustive one, too

very interesting and we therefore Gull
