The dinner was largely patronized.
President Haynes sat near the head of
the table and saw that everybody had
enough. There was some speaking by
notable persons and an Interchange of
complimentary remarks.

Clinton, Oct. 4.--The members of the
First Presbyterian church have decided
not to adopt a plan for the enlarge
ment of their church this year, but to
continue the effort to raise funds. BY
spring Rev. j. H. Moorehead hopes
there will be money enough in hand ia
pay all or nearly all the cost of the
changes that are required
During the winter months the com
mittee will work hard. Several plans
for raising money to add to the amount
already raised are being considered.
The sketches submitted by John s
Allen were merely to give the members
general idea of what could be ac-
complished.
1t will cost something like $4,000 to in
crease the seating capacity of the
church to 400, and make other addi-
lions that are considered necessary.
Rev ]. H. Moorehead said in CONVEX
sation with Spy man recently that II
may be possible the Presbyterian So
ciety, with which the church is united
will make contribution.

Disastrous Work of
Dynamite and
Soft Rock.
One HOUSE BADLY DAMAGED.
Boulders, Sleepers and Earth
Hurled Hundreds Of
Feet High
)NE HOUSE BADLY DAMAGED.

Clinton, Oct. 4.-Too much dynamite
in a soft rock drove the people out of
their houses in the California district
in this town at 10 o'clock this morning.
Rock is being blasted in quarry that
overhangs the village. The quarry is
owned by Martin Murphy. John Sui
Ivan is the superintendent in charge
This morning Sullivan had a heavier
charge than usual, put into blast. He
had the rock that was to be broken
away covered over with heavy sleep
ers bound together. The charge was
fired. A storm of boulders, sleepers
and earth went into the air and de-
scended on the neighboring houses.
A rock that weighed nearly 500
pounds went crashing into the block
owned by Thomas O'Toole, which fronts
hole about 10 feet from the ground
that was two feet one way and four
the other.
Much plastering was knocked from
the walls. Several badly frightened
people were In. a room directly under
where the stone dropped. 1t broke into
several pieces. The house is 300 feet
distant from the quarry.
A sleeper that weighed all of hun
dred pounds struck the house owned
by Mrs. Gibbons. Windows were brok-
en- in several dwellings. An italian la
borer narrowly escaped death. A stone
Weighing 10 pounds grazed his elbow
and tore his coat. He refused to have
his injury attended to, and went to his
work. He is said to be employed by
Busch Bros.
The elevator attached to the crush
ing apparatus was broken. Supt Sui
Ivan said he could not understand why
the blast was so disastrous The
charge was the same as usual, he said
The blast was held down with sleep
ers.
Officer William Johnston was in the
neighborhood. He saw sleeper go
sailing into the air, 200 feet or more
straight up, he says.

rropriations to young and healthy
churches of the denomination. Mr..
Moorehead is hopeful that as much as
$1,000 may be contributed. The society
dealt generously with the church when
the new building was erected, and Will
not be inclined to be less generous with
church that has grown SO much IN
such brief period.

hours one day last week, and had the
pleasure of a hearty hand-shake with
several old acquaintance. Also were
delighted with charging our circle of
acquaintance among the hustling citizens
of that wide -awake little town. We
regret that we had not more time to stay
in that place.
A picnic and fish-fry was given on last

This was a very interesting spectacle and
had its humorous side also. A great
Number of fine fish were landed being

"Be cheerful" says the man who
is easy in his circumstances, mis-.
sing no loved face at the table, nor
by the hearth. But does he ever
consider how hard it may be "cheer
full" when the heart aches, and the
cupboard is empty, and there are
little fresh graves IN the church
yard, and friends are few or indf
ferent, and even heaven, for the
time being, seems to have forgot
ten US, so desolate is our lot! How
difficult for one man to understand
another, in such different circum-
stances! How easy to say "Be
cheerful!' How hard he would
find it to practice it were he strip
