Did Not Reclaim the Coin.

Those who pass the plate" in coun-
try churches are not often RECALLED with
the glitter of gold among the cOntribu-
tons. 1t is related that about ten years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were
travelling through the Middle West in
cognto. They happened to be in Bloom
ington, Ind, one Sunday, and pursuant
to their usual custom went to church.
They attended the Christian Church of
Bloomington, then largely in the hands
of AMI Atwater.
When the plate was passed for the
collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in Il
$40 gold piece. Mr.. Atwater was the
deacon in barge of the collection-tak
ing. 1t was noticed that the ushers
held hurried conference with him
when the money was taken forward.
At it's conclusion Mr.. Atwater said:
Ladies and gentlemen, there has EVIL
IDENTIFY been mistake. Some one has
dropped $40 gold piece into the cOllec-
ton. If he will pass up after the SER
vices we will be glad to allow him to
exchange it for the amount he intended
to give" 1t is. of course. needless to
say that Mrs. Stanford did not take &C
vantage of the opportunity.

RUSSIAN RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.


In 1900 Averaged Twelve a Day, with
1920 Killed and $500 Injured.
The Russian railways have always
had an evil reputation for the great
number of accidents, fatal and other
wise, annually recorded against them.
Judging from some statistics issued by
the ministry Of ways and communica.
tions, this unenviable notorety would
appear to be more or less well deserved.
The latest compiled data are for 1899,
in which year there were 4,447 acct
dents, that is. on an average, little
more than twelve per diem. OF this
total 1862 were derailments. $50 COLI
siOns and 1885 Of various other descrip-
tons. The derailments resulted in
twenty-one deaths and 172 cases of Sc
rious personal injury; the damages in
Cured by those accidents were 552, S61
rubles. The collisions We're responsible
for nineteen deaths, 23S cases of seri-
GUS injury, and damage to the amount
of 100000 rubles. Other accidents re-
suited in the deaths of LAG persons
and in 1865 cases Of personal injury.
Railway accidents unconnected with
passenger traffic were responsible for
thirty deaths and $500 cases Of per-
sonal injury. Altogether 1926 persons
were killed and 1888 injured.
During the twelve months under re-
view there were no so-called serious
railway accidents in England. If the
trains, ordinary and express. in Russia
were run at anything like the speed
which obtains OH English and French
lines, says London Standard CORE
spondent, the number Of fatalities
would be at least tenfold greater. more
especially in cases Of derailment and
collision. Railway travelling in Russia
is proverbially slow, but by no means
sure.
