some provisions and were on their
return home. There is a sharp
curve in the road at Mantz's
Crossing and as they neared this
point they were advised to look
out for the train. Shortly after,
whilst walking on the north track.
they heard freight whistle and
saw it coming from the east.
They stepped over to the other
track to get out of the way and
just then the passenger train
dashed around the curve at
lightning-like speed and was
upon them before they could es-
cape.
Young Sheets was struck first
and thrown several feet, striking
his sister, who fell with him, down
an embankment. When picked
up few minutes later life in
both was extinct. The lads
skull was crushed and the girls
neck was broken.
The engineer did all in his
power to stop the engine, but to
no avail, for the distance was too
short.

boy and girl, George Sheets, was
at work in a field nearby and was
one of the first to reach the scene.

House yesterday morning with
large crowd, and amid great en-
thuSiaSm and other auspices,
which argues we'll for the success
of the affair,
For nearly two years the local
committee of the Frederick Z. B.
church and Rev. G. W. Slime
spring, the pastor, have been
making plans and preparations
for this event, and one of the
most imposing and. it is to be
hoped, lasting results of their
push and enterprise, is the beau
tiful new church, recently erected
on East Second street, in front
of the Diehl Memorial (Lutheran)
Chapel, which will be used as a
Sunday school room. The church
will be dedicated next Sunday
with appropriate services.
This meeting OF the elders and
laymen of the L. b. church is
held every four years, and each
district i'll the country sends not
more than four ministers and two
laymen, regularly elected. and
each have equal privileges.
The work of the present con
ference, being the first in the
new century, will be of a stupen-
dOuS character, embracing the
examination of the adminiStra.

Board, business manager Of the
Theological Seminary, trustees of
the Church Publishing House,

The conference is expected to

ing entertained by members of
