 When dynamite is allowed to stand, it seems, it's strength goes to the bot tom. Thus concentrated, it is much more likely to detonate upon any sort of iInpace In fog there might be g collision which would set off the 300 tons they@say.f In storm the ship might give such a yank at her chains that the cargo would shift and let go. Or the ship might be, driven ashore, and when she struck the deadly stuff would tear loose.

 Coroner Phelan found that Aurino's s management of his car was prudent and proper and that in choosing to run into the boy rather than into a crowd he choose "the lesser of two evils and he is not guilty of criminal negligence within the meaning of the law
 While it is to be regretted assum- ing we'll informed report to be cor rect the coroner finds, that no one in authority, public or private, was present by direction or request of the owner of the park or the promoter of the contest, to keep the spectators from the track during the contests and to otherwise preserve good order and

ENGINEER OF B M0GuL, ON I3TH,
 GETS" HIS 33RD
Tells Coroner that He Got B Out of 36 Persons His
 Engines Hit.
Especial to The Farmerl

Greens Farms, Sept. 16.-That he was driving No. 1 3 engine on the 18th day of the month when he "got'' an unknown track walker near this sta ton. was that Engineer Augustus J. Curnow, a. New Haven road engineer, told Coroper John J. Phelan at an inz quest here yesterday afternoon. Cur now told the coroner that in 26 years service on the road he had "got' 33 of the 36 persons he had struck.
 What do you mean when you say got 2'' asked Coroner Phelan.
 1T mean I killed them' was Cur now's 1aconic reply.
 The inquest was held over an un- known man who was literally ground to pieces under Curnow's engine on Tuesday.
 When asked by Coroner Phelan if this record for deaths is not an un- usually high one, Curnow replied that possibly it was. but that in the 26 wears he had been employed on the road he had been on high speed engines
 Curnow intimated to tho corone that he was considered an. efficient man in his business or he would not have been continued in his employ ment so long. He said in spite of the many men who had been killed under his engine he had not become hard ened to such circumstances and felt ses hadly over the last as he had at the first.
 He explained that electric engines made little noise and their approach could not be heard by a track walk CT when a. steam locomotive was run ming on another track. These were the circumstances when he ran down the unknown man Tuesday. Run ming No. 13 engine on September 1 3 he had a. premonition that he would kill some one.
 Coroner PheIan found the death to be accidental.

 The investigation of Coroner Phe- Ian showed that Maida, in attempting to cross the path between the lines of spectators, became confused and hes itated in his course long enough to be struck and killed by Aurilio's ma chine.

II have heard many debates as to
the hardest and the easiest clubs to
play" says Jerome D. Travers, the IA
nous golfer, in the American Maya
zine. 81 should say the hardest shot
in the game, the one that has fewer
masters, is the full iron shot to the
green Running q close second rs the
mashie pitch. There are fewer golfers
by far who can play these two shots
well than those who are good drivers
or good putters. The easiest shot in
golf is the drive, and the simplest is
the putt. But as putting is almost
purely mental proposition it probably
varies more with all players than any
other shot.
"You see very few good sound iron
players, especially among the amateurs
in America. In England their iron
play is much better"

Rev. OrahOOd Discusses
1.-The Two Covenant"

Taking as his theme The Two
Covenants" Rev. Emory G. Orahood,
at the Central Christian church last
night, gave a clear, powerful and
convincing dissertation on these
vitality important subjects.
Characterizing the Bible as the
Supreme Court of Appeals, the
speaker held that the old Mosaic
law on Covenant, was not enjoined
upon Christians because it was
given to the Hebrews alone for a
specific purpose. and therefore was
limited in its scope. Quoting the
Injunction of Christ as uttered
through Paul, He took away the
first that He might establish the
second, Rev. Orahood said the New
Covenant replaced that of Moses be-
cause it is as broad as humanity
itself.
Rev. Orahood said he believed
both testaments are of Divine inspi-
ration; that he believed in the Bible
from cover to cover; that the old
covenant was between God and the
Jewish people and lastly that it had
been fulfilled by outgrowing it
hence the new covenant represent
ed in the death of Christ on the
Cross.
At the Monday night service Rev. J
Orahood took as his subject, The
Bible-Revelation to Man, which
was handled in the speakers usual
ly effective manner. The subject
for tonight's service has not been
selected but it will be along lines
previously discussed.
Great interest is being shown in
the meetings, the halfLhour song
Serh ice proceeding the sermon be-
ing greatly enjoyed by all.
