cape near Sublette. 1t was in dan
gerous place where the rocks came
down and it is wonder the entire
train was not wrecked. The first
rock that came down was small and
struck the pilot. The next was a
huge boulder weighing several tons
and struck the tender. taking the for
fard trucks of the track as well as the
front trucks of the mail car. The
boulder reached to the cab of the loco
motive and smashed 1t in. When the
train stopped and passengers rushed
out and heard the roar of the escap-
ing steam they thought the engineey
and fireman had perished. and for a
few moments 1t was feared the thing
might blow up. The boulder had
caught against one of the large bolts
connecting with the boiler and pull.

the Chamber of Deputies the recent dis
turbances here arising from the objection of the
students to the translation of the Gospels into
modern Greek, quoted from certain letters of
the Holy Synod, addressed to Queen Olga in
1890. in which the Synod's reasons against the
translation of the Gospels explained The
Premier blamed the Metropolitan of Athens
said the Metropolitan. owing to the weakness of
Synod upon the occasion of the Metropolitan's
audience with the Queen.
Referring to Queen Olga, the Premier said her
acter the admiration of the whole world
wounded soldiers that they could not read the
Gospels because they did not understand the
text. The Queen then arranged, continued the
Premier, for the publication of translation of
the Gospels into modern Greek, exclusively for
family use.
The recent disorders I'D been caused, M.
Theotokis explained by the demonstrators
sailing the troops with stones and revolvers
The troops only fired in the air. That was
proved by the wounds of the victims being from
revolver and not from rifle bullets.
Speaking of the dead, tears ran down the
Prenliers cheeks. and the sitting of the Chamber
was suspended for some minutes in order to
allow him to regain his composure- The Oppo-
sition was led by N. Delyannls, who accused the
