Nearly Three Score of People
Dashed to a Terri

ELECTRIC CAR JUMPS THE TRACK

Tacoma, Washington. July f.
Nearly a hundred people, passengers
on "a car bound for this city, were
plunged down {, gulch at 26th and
{ street shortly after : ocock this
morning. Those who were standing
on the platform dropped OF only to
be bruised and wounded by the
heavy body of the coach, while Others
inside We're killed and MANNED before
they knew what had happened. The
ear jumped the track and was smash
ed to kindling wood in the bottom OF
the chasm, over 100 feet below The
dead will number nearly three score,
Tor there are many of the injured who
will never recover and who are ex
pected to die at any moment, and
there are at least sixty of the car now
in the various hospitals and under
the care of their own physicians.
NeTGher man, woman nor child was
spared. Crushed, MANNED and man
gled the unfortunates were dragged
from beneath the wreck of the car
and tender hands ministered to them
until conveyances could be had to
carry them to hospitals and to the
hames of their friends
The dead were laid in the grass.
but there were few in the crowds of
spectators and rescuers who gathered
Mt the scene at that time who knew
who were dead and living, Such a
spectacle of battered, mutilated hu-
mainly has scarcely ever been seen.
The car which carried its human
freight into a deep ravine instead of
to the city was No. 116 of the United
Traction company's cars, and was
on the Edison line 1t left Edinburg
at about $ o'clock in charge of f. l..
BOehn, motormar. and j. d. Calhoun
conductor. The car, which is one of
the big box like affairs, was crowded
20 the doors. and every inch of space
on the platforms We're taken. Men
hung on to the ratings and were glad
to be able to get ride to the city,
Tor, like those inside, they were
anxious to arrive early so as not to
miss any OF the independence day ex-
ercises
The car ran merrily along, the pas
sengers chatting with each other, for
they were nearly all acquainted. and
everything was pleasant until it
reached the apex of the hill lust be
yond Tacoma avenue. From this
point the stories differ. One is TINT
she motorman, after starting down
hill, turner on his current instead of
shutting it of, and when the car had
gained such momentum as to
threaten To get away from him. he
turned OF the current. but it was
tfen too late. for the car was goiuo-
st lightning speed and there was
nothing to bring it 10 a standstin.
Tor the incline Is steep. Passengers
on the front who saw the sharp
curve on The bridge as it leaves Delin
street endeavored To jump. Several
81 them succeeded and reached the
ground in safety, but Others were as
badly injured as they might have
been had they remained on the car TO
the bottom OF the chasm.

ITINERACY DOOMED.
Methodist Conference Certain to
Change the Rule.

Chicago, May 11.-There is a gen.
eral conviction in the air that the
time limit Of the passionate in the
Methodist Episcopal church is doomed.
The bishops, in their address, which
was written and read by Bishop And
rews Of New York. recommended that
the church should either restore the
limit of three years or abolish it al
together. This was understood as a
recommendation of the latter al
tentative, since reforms never move
backward and the suggestion was re-
ceiVed with such demonstrations of
approval that there is no mistaking
the trend of sentiment. The fact that
DR.. Cadman is practically serving the
same church in New York city for the
sixth year by an evasion of the letter
of the law. makes for some modifica-
ton of the time limit which will pre-
serve ecclesiastical consistency. DR..
Cadman is an Englishman by birth,
who began life as a collier and is now
at the head of the Metropolitan Tenn
pie in New York, an institutional
church with number of missions
connected with it. He has three as
sistant pastors and he has few peers
as a pulpit orator There is no clap
trap about him. He has the ring of
reality, and to take him away from
| his work and put it in the charge of
a stranger would be a suicidal policy
for the church. The bishops have,
| therefore, decided that the extension
of his work by the addition of new
mission churches from year to year
has made it a new field, and, there
| fore, he has not been appointed to the
same charge for more than five con-
| secutiVe years. 1t is a pity that the
| letter of the law and the needs of the
work compel the administrators of af-
fairs to resort to such a fiction.

The above series of twelve summer
Institutes has been arranged to be held
! III June, in sections of the state where
the farms are scattered and where the
farmers are engaged in logging during
the winter months, so that it is impos
sible to get out satisfactory audience
at a winter meeting. The topics will
be made applicable to the conditions
Of the various localities with the hope
Of stimulating an interest in agricul-
ture in northern Wisconsin.
These one-day summer institutes
are eagerly sought after by northern
farmers, who often ride fifteen or
twenty miles to attend. At Toma-
hawk they are making extensive prep
arations for the meeting as they in
tend TO abandon a fourth of July cefe-
bration and make institute day the
event of farmers picnic and general
celebration. Other points that have
secured an institute are equally inter
ested.
