Wreck at Pomona.

ert T. Burton returning from Greens

he went to his window and could plain
ly. see the demolished engine and cars.
The next morning he went to the
scene, and gives a full description of
the wreck. He says n of the men
buried under the debris was horribly
mangled and his head was carried to
an undertaked's establishment in a
basket. Later the unfortunate mans

that brains and pieces of flesh were
scattered in every direction, and told
of a dogs gruesome find of a human
liver, which was devOured by the
canine. Considerable debris was piled
up in the yard where Mr.. Burton was
stopping.-Special to News and OBJ

Hackfeld & Co., Ltd, up to last night
gave assurance that the stranded
steamer was in no worse plight than

trary to general expectation, with high
winds prevailing in the city, there
was little wind at Waimanalo bay and
the sea, while not calm, was not at
all rough.
II The vessel s position is therefore
practically unchanged.

An unusual service was held at Cen

aries Ell route to the Far East on the
steamship Manchuria, who are making
/ an enforced stay here owing to the
stranding of the vessel at Waimanalo.
Tt was union service, the Method

in with the Central Union congregation
honor the visitors. The body of the
church was filled to the last pew and
the organ loft was given over to the
seating of the twenty-five or more mis-
sionaries. ON the platform with the
pastor. Rev. J. Walter Sylvester, were
Rev Hiram Bingham, Rev. o. H
Quick. DR.. George Heber Jones, Rev
Robert NJ. Ross of Korea, Rev w B.
Parshley of Yokohama and others.
Following the scripture lesson read
by Dr. Jones, prayer was offered by
Rev. G.. f. Fitch of Shanghai, after
which the offertory solo was sung by
Stanley Livingston. Following the
prayer of conservation, Rev. Mr.. Parsh-
ley made an address. 1t was an in
teresting talk upon Christian develop
ment in Japan and comparison of the
Gospel and Buddhism. He concluded
with powerful plea for Christianity
as against Buddhism, as follows:
"A man who would believe that sane
titled Buddhism will save the world had
best put his nickels in his pocket and
keep them there The Gospel of Jesus
Christ is slowly opening before our eyes
in Japan"
Mrs. S. c. Peoples, a missionary,
whose station is at Laos, Siam. about
500 miles north of Bangkok, and in the
jungle country. gave some interesting
sideHghts on the growth of Christian
ity in Siam. She spoke of an instance
In WHICH the elephant-driver, who con-

became converted and did some excel
lent missionary work. First the boy
was elephant driver, then boat-captain
and hunter, bringing in deer and other
game for their support on the long trip
to the north. He became converted
and in turn spread the Gospel. The
Siamese had peopled a !
great rice field with haunted spirits and
none would go near it. The former
elephant-driver said that Jehovah was
the great spirit of all and he therefore
fearlessly entered upon the rice-feld
and prayed there and lived there. The |
Siamese. heard Of what had been done |
and believed, and now that field is peo- |
pied with many Christian families.
