SMASHING
OF Things At B. & 0. Station
At Utica, Ohio

There was a smashing of things
along the west side of the B. & o.
railroad track from Mt. Vernon to
Newark Sunday evening, with John
Carlisle, telegraph operator at Utica
as near-yictim, says the Utica Her
aid.
Quick Dispatch freight train No 9S
pulled out of Mt. Vernon with one of
its cars loaded with a huge iron bridge
truss which was resting on it's edge.
BY some swing of the fast train the
truss became loosened and tipped over
the west side of the car. from which
1t projected far enough to reach any
object that was near the track and
stood high.
At the Utica station the truss
struck the big telegraph pole which
stands on the platform, ana swaysd
1t so that wires we're disconnected and
plugs ierked from the switchboard in
the office. The mail crane down the
track was bent, and several switch
lights between Utica and Newark
were pulled off. The Vanatta bridge
was rubbed but not sufficient to wreck
the train or the bridge.
Operator Carlisle wired the operator
at the tower at KibIers that some
thing was coming which would smash
his tower If not stopped, and. the Kib
Ter man went up the track and tagged
the devastating train before il
reached his office.
The train passed Utica about S:5C

FIFTEEN DEAD,
MANY WOUNDED
Result Of the Fighting In the
City Of Vera Cruz.
ADMIRAL BADGER FILES REPORT

American Force Now Ashore Totals
More Than Five Thousand Men,
but Desultory Firing Continues.
Admiral Fletcher Making Every Ef-
fort to Induce City Authorities to
Resume Their Duties.
Washington, April 24.-Three dead
and 20 wounded were the reports OF
the fighting in Vera Cruz yesterday.
This makes is Americans who have
been killed and SO wounded. in the
three days Of fighting. The navy de-
partment gave out this bulletin:
admiral Badger wires that he
landed a battalion from the Mime
sofa, Michigan and South Carolina,
and that the landing force now
ashore totals 5,400 men The Mime
sofa, Chester, Prairie and San Fran
cisco are lying in the inner harbor.
Admiral Badger reports that as re-
suit of desultory firing which contin-
ued about the city three more Ameri-
can sailors were killed and about 25
wounded. The landing party now oc-
cupies all the city, and outposts have
been stationed on the sand hills in
the rear, who have been engaged in
constructing defensive works. Ad-
miral Fletcher, who is in command
on shore. is making every effort to
induce Mexican municipal authorities
to resume their duties and take up
the administration of the city. He re-
ports negotiations fairly successful so
far. All work in the city is still
stopped and no business is being
transacted. The public service utili-
ties have stopped because the en-
ployes refuse to run the eventual risk
to them ELVES of resuming employ
ment.
Very little food supply has been
coming into the city and it Is thought
that If in few days the question of
feeding the people of the city will be-
come paramount, that 1t Is possible
the United States will be called upon
to furnish food. The water supply is
also causing some anxiety. The Mex
lean forces are disposed along the
railroad line, and while Admiral Bad
ger reports the rumor that they are
preparing to attack, he adds that it
Is doubted that this Is true, and eI-
presses his belief that any attack can
be successfully resisted"

The conference committee has been
endeavoring to secure some one OF
the cities in the northern section OF
the state to entertain the conference
at the meeting this year, and the in,
vitation Of the Norwalk church was

1t will be remembered that the

the annual session in Mansfield some
months ago. At that time the First

the conference, but some of the mem.

SO strongly in favor ot the proposi

that Mansfield entertained the North
Ohio conference, and it will be few
years before the conference should
come here again. The conference
Is now so large that it is a rather

Washington, April "a. President
Wilson issued the following comment
on the statement of General Carran-
IA, who demanded that the American
forces evacuate Vera Cruz:
Il wish to reiterate with the great
est earnestness the desire and inten-
tlon OF this government to respect in
every possible way the sovereignty
and independence of the people OF
Mexico.
Whatever unhappy circumstances
or necessities may arise, this object
will be held steadily in view and pur-
sued with consistent purpose, so far
as this government is concerned. But
we are dealing with facts Wherever
and whenever the dignity of the Unit.
ed States is flouted, It's international
rights or the rights of its citizens in
vaded, or its influence rebuffed where
1t has the right to attempt to exercise
it, this government must deal with
those actually in control
1T is now dealing with General
EIuerta in the territory he now con
trolls. That he does not rightfully
control it does not alter the fact that
he does control it, We are dealing
moreover, only with those whom he
commands and those who come to
his support, With these we must
deal. They do not lawfully represent
the people of Mexico.
THAT fact We rejoice, because our
quarrel is not with the Mexican peo
pie and we do not desire to dictate
their affairs. But we must enforce
our rightful demands upon those
whom the existing authorities at this

A Simple Process.

Consider the process by which we
get Christ as the food for the soul.
Verse 35, He that cometh TO me shall
never hunger; and he that believeth
on me shall never thirst; v. 81, II
any man eat of this bread he shall
live forever: v. 81, Whose eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood. hath
flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth
In me, and | in him; V. 5S, He that
eateth OF this bread shall live for
ever. Here we have a simple process
but a profound truth, and Christ sets
himself forth as the same food for
all souls; he Is not one thing TO the
rich man and another TO the man
who cannot AFFORD the luxury-he is
the bread OF life; Just that TO the man
who could pay a fabulous sum, and
money. And yet the cost OF bread
is great: the seed is cast into the
ground and dies before the stalk ap-
pears; the grain must be cut down by
the reapers; there is the severe proc
ess OF grinding; and finally, the in.
tense heat OF the fire which perfects
and completes rhe process. Christ
could not be the bread OF life apart
from the garden, the cross, the tomb.

without blemish and without spot"
