DEFINITE ACTION
WAS NOT POSSIBLE
Christian and Baptist Church
Merger Delayed.
OUTLOOK is VERY HOPEFUL.

Local members of the Christian and
Baptist churches, who have been
watching the actions of the national
convention of the Christian church in
Cincinnati, will be particularly inter
ested in the following dispatch:
The proposed merger with the Bap-
fist church was called up for discus
sion at the closing session of the con-
gress of the Disciples of Christ, but
Chairman /. j. Spencer OF Lexington,
KY. chairman Of the committee rep
resenting the Disciples church, ex-
planned that owing to the illness of the
chairman of the Baptist section of the
committee, final report was not pos
sible at this time. Several meetings
Of the committee had been held and
considerable progress made. SO that he
expressed the hope that final report
might be made at the annual confer
ence of the church. which is to be held
during the coming fall at jamestown.
He declared that there seemed no rea-
son to doubt that practical merger
could be accomplished within COM
paratively short time.

ENGINEER SAVED NO. q
FROM A BAD ACCIDENT
Application of Air Brakes Pre-
vents Wreck.
VIM. GIDNEY is PRAISED.

Panhandle train No. 81 due in Rich
mond each morning at 1911 had a
miraculous escape from a disastrous
wreck as it entered Indianapolis
Union station Sunday noon. The In
dianapolis Star in commenting on the
accident says:
the track and was twisted beneath
the tender and for half square the
detached wheels plowed a great fur
row in the roadbed, tearing large
pieces from the ties. No one was in
jured.
The accident occurred at Oriental
street, and those who witnessed it
said that the train was running fast
at the time, some of them estimating
the speed as high as forty or fifty
miles an hour. The instant the grind
ing of the trucks over the ties began
the huge engine, No. 1905, and one OF
the biggest in the service, began to
tremble with the jarring and humping
of the detached wheels on the rails,
Engineer William Gidney put on the
air brakes.
The train, which carries Pullman's
and is very heavy, came to a full stop
within half square, and while no
one was injured everybody was shak-
en- up with the sudden stopping.
That not a wheel left the track was
regarded by trainmen who looked over
the scene of the accident as most re-
markable.
The engine was detached from the
damaged tender, and the train was
hauled into the city with practically
no delay Many of the passengers
were frightened after it was all over.
They said that it was over SO quickly
that they did not have time to be
frightened before they learned that
the danger was past.
Engineer Gidney. who lives in Gin
cinnati, was praised by the passengers
of the fortunate train for the manner
in which he met the emergency that
endangered them. BY his instant ac-
ton in putting the air brakes on the
heavy train he so greatly reduced the
momentum of the rear part of the
train that none of the cars toward
the middle was pushed off the track.
Those who looked over the ground
afterward believed that Gidney's pres
ence of mind was all that saved the
train.

ADD SEVENTEEN AT
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Sunday, Despite UnfavorabIe
Weather Conditions, Was
A Successful Day.
NO SERVICES TONIGH
ON THURSDAY NIGHT THE FIRST
USE WILL BE MADE OF THE
EAST MAIN STREET FRIENDS
CHURCH.

Despite the inclemency of the wealth
er of Sunday, the revival service at
the First Christian church went
through with UNDATED fervor and en-
thusiasm and reached its climax Sun
day night with the church edifice
crowded to its capacity. The crowd
ed condition of the building justified
the decision announced in Sunday
Palladium, that the meeting be taken
to larger auditorium. AS was then
announced, the East Main Street
Friends had kindly consented to grant
ing the use of their auditorium than
which there are few if any larger audi
forums exclusively set apart for relig-
ious services in the state of Indiana.
This removal to the larger building
will give the evangeiists working
plant commensurate with what they
feel the city needs, and judging from
what they have been able to do else
where in arousing interest for the
cause of Christ they have reasonable
expectation of leading the people in a
revival of such far reaching influence
as has not been seen in Richmond in
recent years.
The results of the meetings of Sun
day added ten more TO the church.
making a total so far of seventeen who
have been added. Mr. Wilson preached
in the morning on Behold the Lamb
of God In the afternoon he spoke
to the children and at night gave up
his time to the consideration OF the
theme: Faith: What is 1t? and How
to Get It:- At the close of the ser
vice he left for Indianapolis, his home
and will remain until Tuesday. Hence
there will be no meeting tonight, these
men using Monday rather than Sat
urday as their rest day.
Change on Thursday.
Services will be continued on Tues
day and Wednesday nights at the
Christian church, but on Thursday re-
moval will be made to the great audi
torium OF the Friends church. AT
that time there will be a visiting dele
