WHO WAS TO BLAME2
Engine, Cars and Depot Destroyed by
Collision at Hope.

HOPE, Jan. 19.-The Missouri Pa
cifc depot was burned, cars destroyed
and an engine wrecked through COL
lision here. A stock train was here
loading sheep for j. H. Higgins the
feeder. The second section came up
behind and ran into the caboose of
the first section, tore it to pieces and
turned the engine square around, set
ting fire to the cars and depot
The engine is a total wreck, three
freight cars and caboose went up in
the flames The efficient work Of our
firemen saved a car Of wheat and sew
eral cars OF cattle. No one was seri-
ously hurt though one conductor
had his face skinned badly and the
fireman and engineer Of the wrecked
engine were bruised. 1t was almost
miraculous that they were not both
killed. 1t is very hard to find who is
to blame as the rear train was run
ming on orders. 1t is claimed they
were not tagged in time to stop.
When the telegraph wires parted in
the fire nothing was heard at the
train despatcher's office at Hoisington
further east than Dillon until Con.
ductor johnson drove over from Hope
to Dillon in livery rig and sent a
detailed account Of the collision and
conhagration from that point. Agent
Bath remained in his office there all
night sending and receiving messages

In Memory Of Rev, E. Clark.
For the Reflector.

WI pho AsChCt W.T.
Rev. Elijah Clark was born in New
York, township Of Ogden, Monroe
county, Dec. 26, 1921, and moved
from there to Stafford, Genesee
county, and thence to Fredonia, Chau-
tauqua county, when about eleven or
twelve years old, attending the COM
mon district schools, He had no
higher opportunity than that afforded
by such institutions, His parents,
being Of religious disposition, natur-
ally directed his footsteps in relig-
ious way. At the age Of fifteen years
he made public profession Of faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ and after
mature study Of the New Testament
united with the Baptist church at
Fredonla, being baptized by Rev. B.
N. Leach. Soon after he felt it his
duty to consecrate himself and all to
the public work of the ministry, hence
every spare hour was devoted to the
study OF Gods word, and to a better
preparation thereunto, sustaining
himself mostly by individual earnings,
teaching greater part of the year
and going to the academy at Fredonia
for two years. Finally the church Of
which he was member called him to
make public proclamation Of the Cos
pei Of Christ. The first year of his
ministry he preached in the First
Baptist church, Pembrook, N. Y, and
while pursuing his literary course at
Brockport Collegiate Institute, he
preached as the occasion demanded,
having been there for two years. He
was induced to 60 to Canada to teach
and preach, both Of which resulted in
his returning the next fall and before
the year expired was supplying one
of'the mission churches. During the
year came call to become pastor Of
the church a: Fredericksburg, which
is now called Delhi; this in the spring
Of the year to which he responded and
on May 2S, lS49, was ordained to gos-
pei work Of the ministry by the act Of
his brethren in Christ Jesus from dii-
ferent churches. Rev. j. S. Crellin
preached the ordination sermon. Rev.
Dunkin gave the charge. Rev. Her
man Fitch gave the right hand Of fel-
lowship. He filled the pulpit for two
years after his ordination. On May
27, l849, he was married to Miss
Marie s. Harris, daughter of Elisha
and Angeline Harris, Of Ingersoll, Ok
ford county, Canada. He worked on
a church paper for time and then
accepted call from the Baptist
church in st. George in the same
province where he remained pastor
for four years. He resigned the pas
toral charge of the church and accept
ed charge Of an adjoining church
where he remained for eleven years
during which he had the pleasure Of
seeing the fruits Of his labor in the
way Of an organization Of a Baptist
church which continues to this day.
Thence he went to Burgessville, Ok
ford county, Canada, where he re-
mained for four years and six months,
leaving there for Abilene in March,
1870. Here he preached for nearly
three years and also preached at
Michigan and Tennessee colonies in
South Dickinson; also at Reeves
school house and in April, 1878, Or
ganized the First Baptist church at
Manchester where he remained pastor
for a long time, not retiring from
labor until they possessed fine build.
