TRAIN sIDEswIPED

AS the Delaware railroad express train
was passing Kirkwood Wednesday MORN
ing it vas sideswiped by freight car
that had been left protruding from side
track and extending over portion OF the
mail line. The freight car struck the
first coach, sent culver through the en-
tire train and made the cars rock from side
to side to such an extent that the passen-
gers expected every minute to be bowled
from the rails.
As the train sped forward the end of
the freight train scraped along the sides
OF the succeeding cars, breaking window
glass, frames and sash and sending show
ers OF glass and splinters into the cars.
The passengers who occupied the seats on
the side that was struck, started from
their seats and that some of them were
not injured is considered miraculous.
The train did not stop. but continued
north.

EASTER SUNDAY IN OUR CHURCHES
All the Services Largely Attended
Fine Musical Program

Easter Sunday was a glorious day in
Middetown and was observed with more
than usual interest. The weather condi-
tions were ideal and all through the day
our people were either attending divine
worship or were out enjoying the cool,
bracing and exhiliarating spring weather.
The services at the churches never seemed
to go off better. The attendance was large
and all denominations united in ringing
out the glad tidngs of Christ's glorious
resurrection from the tomb. Elaborate
floral decorations added much to the in
terror Of the sanctuaries, and altars were
banked with lilies and other beautiful
flowers.
At Bethesda Methodist Episcopal
Church the Easter services were never
better and crowded houses greeted all
the services. The music was especially
fine and Rev. A. w. Lightbourne, Ph. D.,
preached most eloquent sermon in keep
ing with the spirit OF the day. q
Forest Presbyterian Church
The services at Forest PRESBYTERIAN
Church were largely attended, and an
interesting musical program was rendered
The church was tastefully decorated with
various spring blooms and the choir
rendered several beautiful anthems. The
Rev. F. II. Moore. d. d., preached
special sermon in very forceful manner,
which greatly pleased the large congrega-
ton.
St. Anne's Church
The Easter services at St. Anne's
Church were OF an elaborate order and
the auditorium was well filed both morn
ing the evening. The interior of the
Church looked pretty under its beautiful
Easter decorations, and the special music
furnished by the choir brought forth COM
plimentary expression from man. The
Rev. w. j. WiIkie preached able ser.
mons both morning and evening, and
the Easter services at St. Anne's were
the best ever given at the Church.
