But 1t Proves Difficult to Get Engine
Back on Tracks.

But 1t froVes OlmculC 20 yet Engine
Back on Tracks.
The derailed passenger coaches on
train No. 90, which were throw n
from the track at Doe Gulley tunnel
ON Tuesday afternoon were replaced
after delay of several hours, and the
train proceeded on its way west. The
work of replacing the engine proved
an exceedingly difficult task, as the
huge pile of machinery had turned
almost completely over and gone down
a slight embaukment. The wreck was
caused by the spreading of the rails
ct q sharp curve when the big engine
struck it at high rate of speed, and
the escape of the passengers from SER
ious injury was almost miraculous.
Attorney James ID. Butts, of Harpers
Ferry, the referee in bankruptcy, was
the only man injured, getting his
hand badly lacerated. The engine
turned over to the right, which pre-.
vented the wreck of No 6, which
came through the tunnel few min
utes after the accident. The engineer
and firemen managed to crawl from
the ove~turi ed engine uninjured.

TWO INTERESTING CASES ARE

Midshipman Claude b. Mayo, of

til on the charge of hazing and restor-
ed TO duty. Midshipman Chester A.
A. Bloebum, of st. Charles, Mo-.
a member of the third clsS, has been
convicted on the charge of hazing,
supported by six specifications. The
order in each case was read at dinner
formation today.
Midshipman Mayo's case was a Pc
ouliar one. 1t was alleged that he
had stood five fourth classmen on their
heads early in September. having un-
derstood the officer in charge. Lieu
tenant q. p. Snyder, to hint that he
wished such treatment to be given
them. Several witnesses testified that
they had understood the officer in
the same way aud the unoontradicted
testimony was that Mayo had never
hazed before or since; that he was a
leading memer of the Young Mems
Christian Association and considered
his membership and hazing iucompat.
ible.
The court evidently believed that
Mayo may have made an honest mis-
take as to what the officer meant, but
the verdict is not understood to mean
that Lieutenant Snyder's statement
that he had no such intention is dis
believed.
Mayo admitted some of the speciti-
cations and aid not deny any of them
absolutely. The court found him
guilty of all the specifications, but
not guilty of the charge.

of the old school.
DR.. Herbert is broad minded, but
earnest, fearlessly he condemns the
fads and follies of any departure from
the Gospel as preached by Wesley and
Strawbridge. There is probably no
preacher in the State who attracts
larger congregations than he. A dis
tinct feature of DIR. HerbeIt's church
is that it does not hold fairs, festivals
and suppers to raise money.
Rev. DIR. Herbert is one of four min

in one pastorate. He joined the con
ference in the spring of 1870, at the
session in Frederick. He is a native

FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.
The Beautiful Annual Feast at St.
Mary's Church

The devotion of the Forty Hours
is simply q period of about forty hours
during which the Most Blessed Sacra-
ment is exposed on the altar for the
alteration of the Faithful. 1t is a
time when Catholics visit the church
and plead with fervor in behalf of
their personal needs as we'll as those
of the world at large, rendering at
the same time what homage and repa-
ration they can TO God really piesent
in the Holy Eucharist.
This devotion originated in the
City Of Milan in Italy about the year
1884. Like so many other beautiful
devotions now universally adopted by
the Catholic Church, the Forty Hours
Alteration was at first local in its
practice. 1t was intended merely to
commemorate the forty hours during
which, as tradition tells us, the sacred
body of Our Lord lay in the sepulchre.
But after a short time so practical
were the results it secured, so great
was the spiritual progress it effected
among the people of Milan that the
devotion spread rapidly 10 the other
cities Of northern Italy, aid soon to
Rome itself. Here its scope was en-
larged. Under the guidance of that
unblflug apostle OF rome, St. Fnlllp
Neri, the devotion was adopted as an
offset to the dreadful abuses of the
Carnival
1t was employed as a means of
reparation to God for all the crimes
and follies and negligences that char
acterized the time Immediately pre-
ceding Lent in many places of Christ
endom. Later 1t was used as 'neans
of iuterceding with God to move the
calamities which beset the Christian
world. Fer this purpose Pope Olem-
ent VIII in the year 1892 prescribed
that the devotion be held in eontin-
uous SUGGESTION in certain specified
churches of Rome This practice of
Rome was gradually adopted in a mod
ified way by nearly all the bishops of
the Roman Communion so that nova.
days the devotion of the forty hours
is held each Sunday in one-commonly
in more than one church of almost
every Catholic diocese, and this, bS
special appointment of the bishops.
Thus it happens that the last Sunday
of January is usually allotted to st.
Mary's for the Forty Houis' Devotion.
