Victims of Accident at Trinidad Are
Improving.

Charles Cannon. the engineer, and Oro-

more and Ohio roundhouse at Trinidad was
partly demolished during the storm. are
still under treatment at the Casualty Hos
pital Both patients are much better than
they were Saturday night, and the hos
pital physicians think they will recover.
Work in the building was stopped Satur-
day night when 1t was thought that none
of the employees of the railroad had been
caught beneath the mass of slate and iron.
The work of removing the debris was re-
sumed yesterday morning, and much of the
iron and slate was taken from the scene.
During the day hundreds of curious per-
sons visited Trinidad and viewed the ruins.
Railroad employees were surprised at the
small amount of damage that was sustain
ed by the engines that were in the building
when the front was blown in and the roof
collapsed.

Thousands Of the New Faith at Bos-
tom Function.

|
One Of the most remarkable religious DEM
onstrations ever Witnessed in New England
occurred at Boston yesterday, when the
new s.. COO Christian Science Temple, IN
the Back Bay district, was dedicated. from
every state in the Union and from all parts
Of the world came members OF that faith to
be present at the dedicatory services. 1t
was estimated that more than 10000 Chris
tian Scientists were in the city yesterday.
Six services were held to accommodate the
vast throngs. but even then there were
thousands who were unable to gain a0-
mission to the temple. The seating capacfty
of the new edifice exceeds $780, and at each
service today hundreds stood In the aisies
and in the rear Of the church. The SIX
services yesterday were Identical, and eacn
service WAS about two hours In length:
The occasion combined both the annual
communion and the dedicatory exercises.
Mrs. Eddy's address was a lengthy docu-
ment and dealt. In the main, with Chris
tian Science tenets. Referring especially
to the dedication Of the new temple, Mrs.
Eddy wrote:
Beloved am not with you in propria
persona at this memorable dedication and
communion season. but I am with you in
spirit and in truth, lovingly thanking your
generosity and fidelity. and saying virtually
what the prophets said Continue to choose
whom We will serve.
You have dexterously and wisely pro-
vided for the Mother Church OF Christ.
Scientist, magnificent temple, wherein to
enter and pray. Greatly impressed and en-
couraged thereby. deeply do I thank you
for this proof of your progress, unity and
love.

church is the one edfice on earth which
most prefgures self-abnegation. hope. faith,
love, catching glimpse of glory"
The new temple, which is entirely free
from debt, is one of the most imposing
structures in Boston. and is said to be the
largest church in New England.

Portsmouth and Norfolk county authori-

Taylor of the treasury an order was issued
holding up temporarily the order to vacate

commanding the Norfolk navy yard. was
instructed to make fun investigation and
report.

Quakes that occur ut the present time
are classified as modern whether they

The earthquake doesn't announce its
