An Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
passenger train was ditched by train
wreckers yesterday just east of Emporia,
Kansas. Six passengers were injured
and two will probably die. This is the
fourth attempt in the last four months
to wreck passenger trains in the same
place. Previous attempts were made by
piling ties on the track, and without
serious results. Yesterdays wreck was
caused by removing the spikes and fish
plates oftwo rails on the inside ola curve.
The locomotive passed over the loose
rails safely. but a small car left the track
aud was dra gged 100 yards along the
embankment before the train was stopped.
The next five cars, two express and bag
gage cars, a smoking car and two day
coaches went into The ditch across the
right of way fence. The end of the bag
gage car went up in the air high enough
to ground the telegraph wires. Two
Pullman cars remained on the track.
The passengers were asleep when the
wreck occurred, and became greatly ex-
cited; but they soon formed wreckiug
crew and went to the relief of the men
in the overturned car. window was
broken and of seven men in the car six
were injured.

New York Stock Market.

New York, May Is, IL a. m.-Dur-
the first hour the demand for stocks alb.
sorbed all the supply from London, the
west room traders and prices of several
issues made significant gains. Among
these were Northern Pacific, which moved
up 3! per cent. to 1856, the highest price
since the panic of May, 1901, and 81
points higher than the last sale on the
curb. Union Pacific rose to 1888, St.
Paul rose per cent. and gains ranging
from to per cent. were made in nearl :
all other stocks traded in. The gains
made in the Northern Securities group
are construed to indicate that the
situation in the northwest has been per-
maneRtly and peacefully adjusted. The
tone of the market varied greatly. At
the weaker fractions there has been very
good buying. AT the higher range it
gets into control of room traders and
brings in very little outside support.

Mr.. Bryan In a Pulnit.

Mr.. BRYAN made his debut as a
preacher yesterday, filling the pulpit OF
the Normal Methodist Church at Lin
coin, Neb. A very large crowd was in
attendance, tie took the Sermon on the
Mount as his theme, his text being
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God" He declared his belief
that religion consisted more in kindness
to and consideration for fellow-men,
more in charity for Others and in per-
sonal purity than in dogma, ceremony,
or creed. He deplOred the tendency to
higher criticism of the Scriptures and the
reflections of parts of it because one could
not understand. He declared that he
found daily more mysteries in life than
were bound up within the covers of the
Bible. He believed the higher wisdom
lay in accepting the good we understand
and hope for, understanding later of that
we do not. He insisted that no man
could command real success in the world
without he possessed an'ideal, nor could
he be of real value to the world a. long
as selfshness and low conceptions Of his
duty to himself and others dominated his
life and conduct.
