which leads from Tenieytown and was
running at high rate of speed. Mr..
England attempted to cross the track at
the intersection of the two roads. The
horse attached to the vehicle stopped on
the track. and the driver was unable to
get him to move forward before the car
came crashing into the wagon.
Boswell endeavored to bring the car TO
a standstill and applied the brake vigor-
ously, but could not avoid the collision.
The car struck the wagon with crash,
completely demolishing II and throwing
the occupants heavily to the ground.
Mr.. England's wife and one of the chill
dren were slightly injured and were taken
to the residence of Clayton Donaldson
near by and DIR. A NJ. Ray, of Tenley-
town, was summoned 10 attend them.
After an examination he said that neither
were seriously injured. having sustained
nothing more than several bruises about
the body. After the accident the family
returned to their home at Deerwood.

FOR A NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP
Fifty Thopsapd Dollars Almost As
sured to Grace Reformed Church.

1t is a question of but few months
before the congregation of Grace Re
forme-: Church, of which President Roose-
welt is a member, s.ill have a new house
OF worship. Local architects viii this
week look over the ground in front of
the present modest little edifice on Fif-
teenth Street near Street, where the
congro cation now attends divine services
They will then draw plans for church
TO cost $4,000. OF this sum $24 go is prac-
tically secured. and it is expected that the
remainder will shortly be forthcoming
Since the President brought the little
church into such prominence by attend
ing there the need for more cornmodious
quarters has become imperative Every
Sunday many are turned away from the
doors.
The congregation has long been saving
money for new church building, and
there is at present about SI0gJJ in the
church treasury. This has been augment
ed by $1,000 voted the congregation by the
Pittsburg Synod last week for the pur-
pose o. erecting new church. Begin
ing October Is the Potomac Synod will
mold its annual session at Huntington.
Pa, and ii is expected that at least $1,000
Will be pledged a that time.
The Rev. John Schick. pastor OF Grace
Church, expresses confidence that the new
edifce will be erected before long Al
though it is not known that President
tNoOS'N Si' i4aS ma ifs'is a.Ntu tllt tilIICn
in any way, il is to be expected that ne
will at some future time. At any rate.
the church owes the present proximity Of
the realization Of its hopes for a new
home to the mere fact that President
Roosevelt, at the opening Of his Admin
istration. decided to worship there.
DR.. Schick will attend the sessions of
the Potomac Synod and will return to
Washington about October =. Soon after
that time it is expected that some de-
cisive action will be taken regarding the
erection Of the new building. When asked
why a larger church. and one that would
cost more than $4,000, was not cOntem-
plated when II was apparently so easy
10 raise that sum at this time, Dr. Schick
replied yesterday that the contemplated
edifice would be great enough for the
needs Of the congregation and that any
money obtained above that sum would be
used TO erect church in Northeast
Washington. where good many OF the
Grace Church congregation now reside.
