as to its meaning aud nature Of its first
cause.
We canrot conceive Of a plan more
stupendous, more intricate or involved,
and yet more perfect, than that upon
which the whole creation is built The
nicely balanced introdependence Of the
multitudinous parts Of the cosmos; the
exact precision and amazing velocity
with which the millions of planets move
forever; the full satisfaction provided
for all the needs of animate and inani-
mate creatures and things-a scheme,
or plan, looking to all this through
ages and ages of futurity must have
had its geniuses in the unlimited pres
cience and perfectly exact calculating
power of infinite wisdom. And to have
filled up this vast plan by producing
and arranging all natural existences as
we know them could have but COM
manded unbounded power backed up
by an absolute will So we are forced
to conclude that the primal originator,
the first cause, is a something Of limit
less power, wisdom and will; and this
something must be personal, since we
cannot conceive Of mind and will apart
from person. Hence we may reason
ably indeed, we must conclude that
the first cause, the uncaused cause, is
personal Being OF infinite power, wis
dom and will whom we call the abso-
lutte and movable God.
In the midst of rational universe,
indeed, does he not seem irrational at
least in a way who declares it has no
rational origin-who denies the exist
ence of God? So we can understand
the Almighty when, speaking through
David, he declared that The fool has
said in his heart there is no God. " But
that, | suppose, would not fully apply
to the agnostic.

COACHES GO OVER TRESTLE
Score or More of Passengers Killed
in Peculiar Accident to Train
Which Carried Veterans.

Manchester, N. Y.-Twenty-five per.
sons are known to have lost their
lives and between fifty and sixty to
have been injured, many OF them SER
iously, in the wreck of Lehigh Valley
train No. on a trestle near here on
Friday.
Two crowded cars, plunging off the
structure. were hurled against the
stone embankment and dropped to the
bed of Canandaigua outlet, forty-five
teet below, when the fast running
eastbound train was derailed and
broken in twain on the viaduct. An
other car rolled down the embank-
ment beyond the river. The remain
ing eleven cars OF the train kept the
roadbed.
The first car which went over, a
day coach, plunged to the creek bed
and was crushed upon the rocks. 1t
landed upon its side and few of the
occupants escaped death or serious
injury. The following car plunged
head-first into the chasm and with
the forward end resting in the creek,
stood balanced almost perpendicular
ly.
The train carried many veterans re-
turning from the G. A. R. encampment
at Rochester, and at least two of the
old soldiers are known to have gone
to their death in the wreck. A large
proportion of those killed and injured
were women.

MEET DEATH IN MINE.
SEVEN MEN DEAD AND THREE
INJURED IN FIRE IN A
NEVADA MINE.
Accident Caused by Oil Explosion,
the Men Being Caught on the
1,400-Foot Level and Forced
to Pass Through Flames.

Ely. Nev.-Seven men met death
jared early Thursday in fire which
swept the new Accompaniment shaft
of the Giroux-Consolidated Mines
company here. Two bodies remain
in the workings. Both shafts of the
mine have been sealed to smother
the flames.
The fire was caused, 1t is believed
by the explosion of a barrel of oil
at the pumping station on the 1900
foot level of the new shaft. Ten men
were working at the 1,4O0-foot level
at the time, and they looked up to see
the shaft above them filled with
flames.
They at once boarded the cage and
started for the surface. They en-
countered the flames at the 1,200-foot
level and stopped
Five of the men left the cage and
started to walk through the 1,200-foot
level to the old Alpha shaft, 700 feet
away, through which they hoped to
climb out of the mine.
The five men remaining in the cage
gave the signal to hoist and were
pulled through the blazing shaft. One
was dead when the top was reached
and the others were taken to a hos
pital.
The work of rescuing the FIVE men
in the mine was then at
tempted through the Alpha shaft, but
success.

WAR SCARE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Strikers Held Not to be the Real Reas-
on for Military Preparedness
Secretly Beinq Made.

London.-Closely following the an
nouncement that the annual British
army maneuvers would be omitted
this year. comes the further an.
nouncement that all military and ma.
val leaves of absence have been stop
ped.
Meanwhile activity IN the royal ar
senals, which was first observed
about a month ago, continues una
bated.
The first and most natural explain
alton of the preparation for war that
is obviously going on in the British
army and naval service Is the prev
alence OF labor disturbances, accom-
panied by unprecedented rioting and
lawlessness in all parts Of the king
dom. 1t cannot be denied the British
army has its hands full at the pres
ent moment performing it's part in a
great patriotic endeavor to force the
British working man to labor ten
hours a day for S. week.
In the service and diplomatic
clubs, however, strikes are not look
ed upon as the real cause of the
strange preparations that are going
on with as much secrecy as possible
throughout the country.
Whether England's war preparations
are intended for Germany or whether
they are for the purpose of suppress
ing her own internal disorders, the
outlook in either case is sufficiently
grave.
