Wrecked Locomotives.

The two locomotives which met in
collision near Roseburg. or the Southern
Pacific, last week. have been brought to
the shops on the East Siue. The en-
gines are Nos. l76S and 1856, and they
were literally torn to pieces. No worse
wreck has ever happened on this divi-
sion. What is left OF them is on several
cars, and there are simply thousands Of
pieces. On the cars are the fragments
OF the two tenders. Here are piled up
twisted bars and plates, cylinders and
heavy iron parts in every conceivable
shape. The locomotives were brought
down on their wheels and are in the
same position they were in after the
collision. The front ends OF the boilers
are elevated, ridiled and torn. showing
something OF the terrific force with which
they came together. In the center the
drive wheels are lifted about six inches
above the track, az the entire bodies OF
the locomotives were bent upwards.
Men who have been on the division for
great many years say this is the worst
that had ever been brought 10 the
shops. There is hardly holt or bar in
either locomotive that is not bent or
broken. The great mass OF fragments
on the hitcars tells something of the
force of the collision, and the hundreds
OF people who have viewed the wreck
have wondered how it was possible that
any one of the trainmen should have
escaped instant death .-0regonian 14th.

a wrong choice. No man ought how ever to do anything upon which he cannot seek God s blessing. Manual la bor is sometimes looked upon as a dis grace or a curse, but in reality 1t is one of the greatest blessings. There is more health, contentment and happiness among the working classes than among any other class of people in the world.
 Christ blessed and made honorable all lawful labor by Himself working at the bench. They said of Him: Is He not the carpenters son, and He never denied it. He was doubtless master workman, and it may be that He built many of the little low flat roofed houses in the town of Nazareth, and the golry of the gospel is that He is builder yet, the only difference is that He is build ing mansions now, while He was build ing houses then. All honest labor is honorable. Here exhaustive over- work was deplored by the preacher and his sympathy was ex tended to the submerged truth. He de- clared that the millennium would never come until the eight hour system of labor should be universally reorganized. This, he said, would divide the twenty four hours into three natural divisions: Eight hours for work eight hours fer the improvement of mind and spirit, and eight hours for sleep.
 The latter part of the discourse was taken up with the development of the mental and spiritual life, This part of the sermon was finely illustrated as the three degrees of Christian growth was presented in the reverse order of the original text, walking, running, flying. In the evening the sermon was preached from the subject announced, "A Gold audience.

 NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL.

Miss Henry. Who Now Goes to Cuba,
 to be Succeeded by Miss Schultze of
 Philadelphia.
 Miss Sara Henry, for the last four and half years superintendent of the Connecticut School for Nurses attached to the New Hacen hospital, leaves to- morrow, having rendered her resignation some time since. She has accepted an appointment from the military authori- ties of Cuba to assist in reorganizing the hospitals and asylums in that island. She sails next Saturday. May 19, to as- sume the duties of her new position, and will, no doubt, render valuable ser vice. for which she is we'll qualified. A very pleasing evidence of the esteem and regard in which she is held by her pupil nurses Is, that after her resigna- tion became known to them, they sent her a request that she should withdraw it, and on the eve of her departure have made her a parting gift of a beau tiful pair of pearl mounted opera glasses, with best wishes for her future success, Miss Henry will be succeeded at the New Haven hospital by Miss Schultze of the Philadelphia hospital. Miss Schultze will begin work here to- morrow.

NOTED INSURANCE CASE.
Protest of the Mutual Life of New York Against Prussia's Action.

New York, May 12.-The petition of New York to congress by Representa- tive James s. sherman of New York,
 asking for an inquiry into the treat
 ment received by that institution at the
 hands of the Prussian government, is
 exciting great interest here. The petl-
 ton shows that the Mutual Life Insur-
 ance company is transacting business
 in Great Britain, France, Austria, Hun
 gary. Italy, Belgium, Holland, Den
 mark, Norway and Sweden, under the
 sanction and approval of those coun-
 tries, and has done so in accordance
 with those principles of reason and jus~
 tice which governed the conduct of ''en-
 frightened nations" no so, however, in
 Prussia. In 1866 the company entered
 Prussia after being subjected to a close and exhaustive examination. Relying upon the faith of the Prussian govern ment the company purchased lot of ground with suitable building in Berlin for an office and invested largely in Prussian securities, believing that it would be permitted to conduct its bus mess undisturbed in accordance with the comity of nations. Unmindful of the principles of equity and fair deal ing, the Prussian government submitted the company to long series of impo- sitions and exactions, eliminating on August IA, 1895, by its actual expulsion, without a hearing. from the kingdom of Prussia. The Mutual Life had not changed it's method of doing business, it's good standing had not been impair ed since it's investigation by the gov ernment and when license was issued to it. One pretext for expelling the com pany was that it issued Tontine poli- cies, although every facility had been given the government to ascertain that the charge was without foundation Abandoning this contention the govern ment began to impose new conditions and exactions, never previously sug- gested and which the Prussian authori- ties knew could not be obeyed under the companys charter. While the com pany admits the technical power of the Prussian government to eXpel the Mu- tual Life from Prussia upon false pre- text, it respectfully submits to the con gress of the United States that such treatment by supposedly friendly state is indefensibe in the forum of in ternational comty and unworthy of any enlightened and civilized state. The calls for inquiry and inves- tigation and a redress for such griev- ances. On motion it's petition was re- ferred to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce.

SECOND FIRE IN TWENTY -FOUR
 HOURS.
Barn of Robert Meacham in the Annex
 DeStrOVed

Destroyed,
 Robert Meacham of the annex lost his largest barn by fire about ten o'clock Saturday morning. The loss Is estimat- ed at about $500. There were no wagons or animals in the building at the time, which accounts for the comparatively smaE loss. The barn was located on Stiles street, near Forbes avenue, in the annex, and when the alarm was sound- ed it was quickly tackled by the annex fire department. This was the second fire in twenty-four hours the annex fire department had had, and they did he- roic service, saving much adjoining property with the inadequate facilities at hand
 The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been started by a cigarette thrown carelessly into some refuse.

SERMON TO WORKINGMEN
ELOQUENT DISCOURSE REV. 4, J.
 SMITH.
Work in Proportion 10 the Strength Given Him -Manual Labor Quo of the Grenteat RIeaRlnus
Greatest Blessings,

GreRtest Blessings,
 Rev. A. J. Smith preached a thought ful and forceful sermon to the working men at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning. He select ed for his text Is. xl 31, and trans lated it as follows: "But they that work for the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall walk, and not faint; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall mount up on wings as eagles" He said man has body mind and spirit, and that work is the law of the development of his perfect trinal nature, Physically we understand this, that exercise is the law of growth. Thus the athlete under goes months of training, so that when he steps into the ring he may become a victor. The practice of the Yale crew is not simply for sport, but that when the day of the race comes the YsrIe blue may wave above all other colors. The responsibility rests upon man to work in proportion to the strength given him, and to choose any lawful occupation for which he has constitutional bias or tendency Many of the failures in pro- fessional and business life are due to
