New Creed.

Philadelphia. May 2G.-The Presbyterian
general assembly has taken another step to-
ward revising the confession of faith by re-
jecting the minority report which had been
offered as a substitute amendment for the
majority report. The vote was 27l to 234.
The recommendation is as follows
1--WE recommend that committee be in
structed to prepare brief summary of the
reformed faith, bearing the same relation to
the confession which the shorter catechism
bears to the larger catechism, and formed
on the general model of the consensus creed
prepared for the general assembly of 1892
or the articles of faith of the Presbyterian
church of England, both of which docu-
ments are appended to the committees re-
port and submitted to the assembly to be
referred to the committee appointed"
With the consent of the assembly the mo-
ton was changed so that the vote was
taken on the question of striking out the
recommendation from the majority report
stead of accepting the minority report as
a substitute. During the discussion OF the
subject Moderator Minton gave the gave
to Vice Moderator Pitcairn while he ad
dressed the commissioners in favor of The
amendment.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT ON GIN.
TRAIN RUN ONTO PUSHCAR
Impossible to Stop-Explosion Fol-
lowed-No Lives Lost-Train Com
pletely Wrecked-En gineer and

Everett, Wash, May 27.-Special
from Skykomish. Wash:
A frightful accident occurred on the
line of the Great Northern railway
which resulted in the demolition of an
engine, almost half train of loaded
merchandise cars and a large steam
shovel That no one was instantly
killed is regarded as little less than a
miracle.
Westbound freight train No. Is pass
ed through the big tunnel shortly after
noon and was speeding along down the
rugged western slopes of the Cascades
and had reached point about four
miles east of Skykomish. when sud
denly a loaded push car came into
view.
Engineer John McGhourly, who was
in charge of the forward end of No. 10,
made every possible effort to check his
engine, but the momentum was too
great. When within few feet of the
then deserted push car he and his fire
man were Mortified to see can after can
of giant powder piled high on top OF
the car. 1t was too late to even think
of jumping and the two heroically stood
their ground
A second later and the pilot crashed
into the push car. Explosion after ex
plosion rapidly followed, each succeed
ing one being more terrific, if possible
until finally, when the smoke hat
cleared the awfulness of the havoc
created was realized.
The engine was literally torn to frag
ments, her boiler raised clear of al
other parts, while her great trucks
were hurled up the steep mountain
side for considerable distance. Thu
steam shovel, which stood on SIDING
nearby, was torn to splinters and will
be fit for nothing but scrap.
About rs yards from the scene of tn
terrible explosion stood the shack o
the track walker 1t, also. was utterl.
demolished, but, strange to say, tn
track walker himself, who was in tn
shack, was but slightly scratched
Loads of merchandise of various kind
are scattered promiscuously in all d
rections. A hole sufficiently large t
bury a locomotive in was torn in tn
roadway.
Engineer McGhourly was severely II
jured about the head and otherwis
bruised up as a result of the concu
sion. He was put aboard a specii
train and taken to a hospital at Eve
ett The fireman was also badl
bruised, but not seriously injured. n
one else was hurt.

Gigantic COaI Trust.

Indianapolis, May 27.-The reported
combination of coal operators indicates that
a gigantic corporation will be formed with
a capitalization of probably $5O,O00,OOO.
The trusts in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will
be under different organizations, but it is
said they will be financed by the same
source, which will make it equivalent to
one combination, as the object of the three
will be identical

Killed n Boy.

San Francisco May 26.-R- c. Hislop, a
10 year old boy, was murdered, presumably
by burglars, in his home on Haight street.
The boy was at home alone during the alb
sence of his parents When his mother re-
turned she found him lying in bed uncon-
scious. His head had been beaten into a
pulp by blunt instrument. He died in a
few minutes. The house had every APP
pearance of having been ransacked by
burglars.

Lawrey of Rossland, B. c., who is re-
ported to represent a syndicate of New

at 100000.
Grant Robinson, superintendent of
the mill at the Kendall mines at Lewis
town. Mont, has the last shipment Of
bullion produced at the mill while I'M
der the ownership of H. T. Kendall.
The shipment consisted of five bars,
having a value of about $4,000. Work
on the new mill that is to be erected
by the Finch & Campbell company at
the Kendall mines will begin about
June 1. 1t will be, when completed,
the largest cyanide mill in Fergus
county, and probably the largest in the
state, as its daily capacity will be 800
tons.
Representatives of the copper com.
panies to be acquired by the Amalga-
mated Copper company, as well as men
supposed to speak for F. A. Heinze,
held conferences in New York city. and
| it is the popular belief that important
developments will result. An official of
the Amalgamated Copper company de-
MED that there was no expectation of
making peace with Mr. Heinze. and de-
clared that the conferences which had
been going on for two days pertained
to the absorption of the Boston & Mon
tana and the Butte & Boston companies
by the Amalgamated Copper company
He said the success of the undertaking
was assured, and that a definite an
nouncement might be expected soon.
The regular monthly dividend of
$4,000 has just been paid by the Bun

at Wardner, Idaho. The big corpora

property was never in more prosperous
condition. The mine and the mill EN-
ploy about 500 men, and the company
is producing all of the ore that can bC

Hanna Has Big Coal Options.

Toledo, Ohio, May 27.-M. A. Hanna &
Co. have secured options on almost the en-
tire Massillon coal district. The output OF
the properties included in the deal amounts
to over 100000 tons per year. As the
land is largely upon the Wheeling railroad
it is thought that the deal is part of the
one by which George j. Gould secured con-
troll of the Wheeling.

A Savage Bluejay.

A sportsman camping on one or the
lakes OF Sullivan county, \. u, offered
to bet $40 to 81 that nobody in his par
ty could guess how lie had received an
injury to a finger which he held bleed
ing before the spectators. No one guess
ed. and the man went on to eXpla.p
that while standing by the lake he had
seen n blucjay flying over so close
above his head that he instinctively
threw up his hand to stop it. The BIRD
neither stopped nor swerved' but IN
stead dashed straight for the hand
striking it with such force that the Din
penetrated to the bone and sent the
blood squirting as though the man bad
been struck by a knife.
This sort Of action is in line with ZIG
general conduct Of the jay. 1t is one OF
the most aggressive birds on the con
tineut. robbing the nests of other birds
and sometimes even killing young SPUR
rels The chief good thing that can b'
said of it is that it often robs the mes
