on Tuesday, October IS, and will have
three sessions a day. Men of national
and international reputation, represent
ing every phase of church life and serv-
ice, will be heard. not only from the
Methodist communion. but some Of the
strongest lay and clerical representatives
of other Christian bodies will give their
assistance. The day sessions will be
largely devoted to conferences of a
practical character in the furtherance
of the purpose for which the convention
is called. This purpose is: To increase
missionary intelligence and to deepen
the spiritual life; to present the definite
responsibility of Methodism both at
home and abroad in relation to other
denominations and Christian agencies; to
adopt a practicable denominational pro-
gramme and policy of advance; to place
more definitely before the church the
new financial plan as adopted by the
General Conference for the church as a
whole and for the local church: to en-
phasize the principles and practice of
Christian stewardship as adopted by the
General Conference: to discover and en-
list more men for missionary and evan
gelistic service.

The church is already greatly aroused.
Conventions and conferences have been
held in many parts of the country, nota-
bly, the campaign just concluded in the
Pacific Northwest, which was a record
breaker both in interest and in practical
results. The 1900 names already re-
ceived were sent into the Office by bish-
ops. district superintendents, and pastors
"a carefully selected list. Though no in
vitations have yet been mailed, a number
of men have asked that reservations be
made for them, and have forwarded the
registration fee There is no reason to
doubt that the full number Of 3,ooo will
be quickly taken up after the invitations
are issued, which will be about May Is.
The embarrassment will be the large
number who cannot be accommodated by
reason Of the physical limitations of the
hall.
The executive committee in charge of
the convention, in sending out the pre-
liminary announcement, asked for daily
prayer % that Methodism may have a
clearer realization of its resources in
Christ; (2 that 1t may have self-sacri-
ficing readiness to face its entire respon-
sibility at home and abroad; CD that
men whom God would have lead the
church in this day of need and oppor-
tunity be assigned as delegates: 90 that
all committees may have divine guild
ance; and 90 that the convention be not
an end in itself, but that conviction and
determined effort to discharge its respon-
sibility to the whole world may be deeply
rooted throughout the entire church. It
Is desired that these objects shall con-
tinue to enlist the church in intercession
until they shall be realized in the fullest
measure through His guiding spirit
The National Convention or Metnodisr
Men comes at an opportune time. Some
time after It was determined upon and

ORDERED NOT TO BURN.
And Commissioner McChord Was In
formed That Order Would Be Obeyed.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 3.--Commis-
sioner McChord yesterday telegraphed to
the New Haven officials demand that
none of the wreckage be removed or de-
stroyed until representatives of the COM
mission have conducted their investiga-
ton. Last night he received assurances
from General Manager Woodward that
the road would comply.
This action was taken, the commits
sioner stated, because in the wreck on
the same road at Stamford, Conn, June
II last some Of the passenger cars were
promptly burned up by the railroad and
thus valuable evidence destroyed.
When Commissioner McChord read the
news dispatches telling of the burning
of the wreckage without further remark
than that the railroad had assured the
commission that the wreekage would be
preserved Tor inspection. 81 don't know
what We can do about it, said Mr.. Nc
Chord.
Receiving information that efforts were
being made by railroad officials to con-
duct the investigation of the wreck in
secret, he telegraphed Chief Inspector
Belnap to have men at all the meetings
Of the coroner or railroad regarding the
wreck to get what is said and done
Commissioner McChord declared it won't
be a secrecy matter.

seven cars, baggage, day coach and five
sleepers behind the engine.
Meantime Flagman G. III. Murray of
the Bar Harbor train had gone back
with torpedoes distance, it was said,
of 400 feet. The torpedoes went off, ac-
cording to the officials of the road and
some of the train crew. Then came the
crash.
Passengers in both trains were asleep
when the collision occurred. The White
Mountains engine, No. 1887, twin of the
new Pacific superheater locomotive that
figured in the Stamford wreck last June,
ploughed through the two parlor cars of
the Bar Harbor train as if they had been
as much papier mache. In the forward
cars of the Bar Harbor train, which con-
sisted of ii sleepers, there was panic
among the passengers but the White
Mountain came to a stop so gradually.
comparatively speaking, that many of
its passengers scarcely realized that
anything serious had happened.
For several minutes after the first
shock there was silence, the passengers
said, and then in the still morning air
sounded the screams of the wounded.
Passengers from both trains turned out
to the work of rescue. They found
scores of the dead and injured strewn
on both sides of the track, but there
were few in the wreckage. The terrific
impact of the engine had literally re-
duced the two Pullmans to kindling
wood, and the bodies of the passengers
instead of being buried in the wreckage,
fell upon it, or were hurled entirely clear
of it.
The vestibule of one Pullman, bal
anced astride the pilot of the locomo
tive, and the yestibule of the other,
tossed into the ditch, were the only
parts of the two cars not completely de-
molished
Trolley cars were pressed into serv-
ice to bring to New Haven both the dead
and dying A part of the White Noun
tain train took some Of the injured to
Meriden and the undamaged cars of the
Bar Harbor train were used to take
others of the injured to this city where
they were placed in hospitals.
The death list grew from l3 to 2l dur
ing the afternoon and evening Several
of the badly injured died on their way
to hospitals or after reaching there.
