breakdown.
Mrs. Mcfarland accompanied by her

He backed around and then springing
suddenly to one side threw the front
wheel against the heavily laden wagon
box with such force rs to break the
spokes As the wheel went TO pieces
the front part of the wagon dropped
and it was all that the occupants
could do to hold on to the seats
\ couple of men ran out from the
store and seized the horse before he
was able to cause any further damage.
The ladies were badly frightened and
the accident caused a good deal of cX-
Citcmcnt.

Against Prize Euchre.

Bishop Frederick Burgess, of Long
Island, has caused considerable per
turbation among EpiscOpalians of his
diocese by placing ban upon the
playing of euchre for prizes at church
functions. BY this means the raising
of money for the church had become
quite popular in Brooklyn and other
Long Island cities and number OF
such euchres arranged for this month
must be abandoned or priceless. The
Bishops disapproval extends, it is un-
derstood, to the playing for prizes at
private as we'll as church affairs. He
thinks harm is done thereby TO the
morals Of the people, and that money
obtained by fostering the gambling in
stinct il young parishioners is some
thing which every rector should refuse.
The clergy of the diocese are heartily
supporting the Bishop in this matter,
though some of them have heretofore
given tacit approval to the prize
