Oxford's witty Bfshop.

Two stories are attributed in The Railway Magazine to the witty bishop of Oxford. He was once talking to some boys in a school and said to them: Now, my boys, I dare say you think it's very fine thing to be a bishop. But assure you I'm very busy man. have to go about all over my diocese, and I haven't time to study like you have. In fact. nearly all my study has to be confined to only one book. It be- gins with 'B.' Do you know what 1t isT ''The Bible, sir; the Bible." shout ed the boys all together No" replied the bishop, with a merry twinkle in his eye. Its called Bradshaw"
 The other story Is still better. On one occasion when he alighted from the train at Wheatley, the station for Cuddesden palace, an otficious porter rushed up to him and asked, Any arti- cies in the van. my lordT' Articles" said the bishop grimly. "Yes, 39 arti- cles." Off hurried the porter and wor- ried the guard almost out of his senses by the way he searched the van and detained the train. Presently he came back to the bishop with a crestfallep expression of countenance. "There are only seven, my lord" "Only seven? Ah, you're a Dissenter then, l should think"

THIRTEEN kILLEDIN WRECK.
Frfghtful Sunday Disaster on the Reading RaAroad.

Thirteen persons killed and over 30 others injured is the appalling record of rear end collision between an excursion train and milk train on the Bethlehem branch of the Philadelphia and Reading railway at Hatfield, 2I miles north of Philadelphia.
 The killed are: Miss Annie Sherry, aged 21 years, South Bethlehem; Robert Mill Ter, South Bethlehem; Richard Bachman, 40, South Bethlehem; William Ehret, 22, South Bethlehem: Ira Ehret, 20, brother of William, South Bethlehem; Joseph Mordaunt, 22, South Bethlehem; Charles McGonigle, Allentown; Thomas Day, AL lentown; Miss Mamie Kaelin, II, Tel ford; Godfrey Kaelin, father of Mamie; William Blackburn, Amber; Harold Landis, Hatfield; - Ackermann, Phila- delphia.
 The wrecked train consisted of ten day coaches and was the first section of a large excursion made up of people from Bethlehem, Allentown and surrounding towns to Atlantic City. This section car ried only those persons who lived in Beth lehem and Allentown and left the Union depot in Bethlehem 8 minutes behind the milk train. The latter train consisted of two milk cars and two passenger coaches and had stopped at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Philadelphia The milk train drew up al the milk station at Hatfield, and in less than two minutes the special excursion train, running at the rate of 30 miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk train. The locomotive plowcd through the two passenger coaches and crushed them as if they were eggshells.

 The new battleship Alabama won the title of queen of the American navy in one of the most magnificent speed trials yet held in the history of the navy. Her average speed for four hours continuous steaming was 17 knots, a fig ure not quite as high as that made by another great battleship produced from the same builders yard three years ago, the Iowa, but notable from the fact that it gave an idea of the yet undeyeloped power in this latest and greatest product of American shipbuilders.

VERMONT'S VOTE.
Republican Governor Elected by
 About 27 .OOO Plurality.

White River Junction, Vt, Sept. D. State issues, of which that of local option was the most important, caused 20 per cent decrease in the Republican vote in the state election, and large proportion of that loss went to the Democratic party.
 The Republicans, of course, carried the state by an immense margin, but it is likely to fall at least 10000 under the vote of 1896, but at the same time it is probably about 5000 ahead of the guber- material vote two years ago.
 Most of the cities and larger towns have so far reported, and the outlook is that the Republican majority will not much, if any, exceed 27,0OO for the entire state. The vote for congressman appears to be running substantially the same as that for governor.
 The Republicans elected the following ticket: Governor, William Stickney of Ludlow; lieutenant governor, Martin F.. Allen of Ferrisburg; treasurer, John l.. Bacon, of Hartford; secretary of state, Fred A. Rowland of Montpelier; auditor, Orin M. Barber of Arlington.
 The Republicans, as usual, will control the general assembly, having elected the 30 senators and the usual large majority of the 246 representatives.
