60 Miles of Track Leading to
st. Petersburg.

STREET CAR
JUMPS RAIL
And Causes Furry Of
Excitement
TRAFFIC WAS TIED UP
Baseball, Lodged Next Rail- Was the
Cause Of Accident Last Evening
Passengers Left Car
in Hurry.

The street chr traffic Of Barre and
Montpelier was suspended for an hour
and more last evening through the
agency Of little sphere which the Inter
city Champions are having such tron-
lie in finding nowadays, and the pass
engers on the $50 car from Montpelier
to this city were thrown into much ex-
citcment, while not few Of them re-
ceiycd bruises in their uncerernonious
leaving Of the car.
The sphere which caused all the trou-
bic was being tossed about by some
Young men on Barre street in the neigh
boring city, and one Of the young men
made d muff just as the car came along
at a fairly good rate of speed. The ball
rolled briskly along the ground and then
innoccntly lodged in the ear track Just
at the Sibley avenue transfer. The
bunch of rubber, twine and horsebide
acted as . stepping-stone for something
higher and the car took she step and
then proceeded to tear along the road
bed. The ear never stopped until it had
run completely of the track and to the
sidewalk near the Bianchi granite plant.
Meanwhile the passengers were MAX
ing hasty exits from the car, and for
few seconds there were high jumps,
long leaps and undignified landings.
Some of the people were not sufficiently
weighted as to their feet and came
down on other parts Of their anatomies
than intended. They are a trihe sore
today. But there were no serious in
juries. A force OF men was at once put
to work and the car was showed back on
the iron little more than an hour af-
ter it left. In consequence Of the acci-
dent the other cars were just AIS bad as
off the track too Il being a single track
system.
Motorman Burke was in charge OF the
car.
Two little boys were standing on
the sidewalk directly in front 81 the
derailed car Al it ploughed along but
the car stopped just III the sidewalk.
Spectators thought the youngsters were
done for. The most seriously bruised
passenger was burIy negro, who was
sitting on the end of seat and who was
thrown 70 the street BY the movement
Of the car.

the Ladies' missionary society and the
Y. T. s. G. +. Of the Congregational

lowing account Of tile convention:
Silver bay, on the west side u Lake
George, queen Of American lakes, was
the spot toward which many young peo-
PIE turned July 2O. for there the fifth
annual conference of tIle Young Peoples
missionary movement was held, closing
July 80. The movement Ii Il fedora
tion Of clearing house of home and for
eign mission boards of the United states
and Canada The aim Of the movement
II 70 deepen the spiritual life and mis-
sionary purpose ii the church of the
future, as ait present enrolled organized
and in training III the Sunday schools
and young peoples societies.
There were over 500 present this
year. including delegates from "a differ
ent states, Canada and four foreign
countries. Mission study classes and
Bible study classes, conducted BY ex-
pefienced, earnest leaders, met daily and
proved. as heretofore, to be Of great
value in training their members TO be
leaders of mission study classes. to say
nothing Of their power to inspire and
quicken the lives Of tile students. In
every conference volunteers have come
forward and the late meeting was no
exception.
The music furnished BY the assoei-
alton was q delight and help to those
who were permitted 70 hear these pas
tors and Christian workers sing. The
speakers at the platform meetings, too
numerous to mention in this brief
sketch, were well know leaders and re
turned missionaries from nearly all of
the mission fields, besides many seII
known editors and prominent clergy
men.
The late conference was marked by
its spirit OF defniteness Of petition, its
unity OF purpose and practical aims and
spirit Of conservation. It is impossible
70 measure the spiritual powers Of such
gathering. Purposes have been formed
and visions have been seen, and those
who have had the opportunity Of com
pairing this conference with others are
sure that great spiritual forces have
come INTO the lives Of the delegates that
will add to their power as they work
with all brothers and sisters in Christ
to bring about the "evangeligation OF
the world in this generation"
