Knoxville, Tenn, April S.-That
page advertisement in a Sunday
paper will help the attendance at a
Sunday school Bible class has been
proved in his city. The Rev. w. T.
Rogers, pastor of the First Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, was dis
couraged because the attendance Of the
Bible class was not as large as that
at other classes.
When the matter was brought UP at
the church meeting it was decided TO
try q page advertisement in the morn
ing papers. Last Sunday the DIVER
tisement appeared and attracted much
attention. 1t was an invitation to men
to come to the Bible class meeting. and
included the names of the class officers,
teachers, pastor. etc. For n week the
advertisement was publicly discussed
and received editorial notice from
newspapers all over the state. The
practical results were noticeable this
morning. The Bicle class membership
had in a week increased one-third.
Scores of inquiries had been made
about the class, and many young men
have promised to attend. The officials
say that a hundred dollars w,as never
spent more advantageously by the
church.

HORRIBLE
R. R. WRECK.
Human Beings Pinned Down and
Burned as Bats.
OPERATOR CAUSED WRECK
Two Passenger Trains Come To-
gether in Snow Storm.

Pueblo, Colo, March 16.-A
wreck, accompanied with horrors
exceeded only by the Eden dis
aster, which occurred August Z,
1904, on the line of the same
railroad, resulted from the col
lision of two passenger trains on
the Denver & Rio Grande road
four miles east of Florence, Colo,
at an early hour this morning.
The fated trains met on a sharp
curve and were less than two
hundred yards apart when the
engineers discovered that a col
lisiOn was imminent. 1t is
known that the engineer of the
westbound train used every
power at his command to bring
his train to a stand-still, but his
efforts were fruitless, and al
though he succeeded in check
ing the speed of his train, the
crash that followed was beyond
his power to prevent and he
went to his death with his hand
on the throttle and bravely faith
full to his charge. This much is
vouched for by his fireman, who,
seeing the uselessness of remain
ing in the face of sure death,
jumped and saved his life. Of
the conduct of the crew of the
eastbound train, it can only be
stated that they died at their
post, for no one lives to tell the
story of their heroism. The dis
aster was made more horrible
by the manner of the death of
many of the passengers, various
ly estimated from twenty to
thirty-five. Fire swept over the
wreck engulfing the victims in a
caldron of flame and leaving
only charred and blackened
bones to tell the tale of slaughter.
1t is known that the wreck
was caused by the operator fail
ing to give orders to trainmen
as to meeting point, his excuse
was that he was asleep, caused
by overwork from being on duty
too long.
