ROLL DOWN AN
EMBANKMENT
Four Persons Have Narrow Escape
From Death Along the River
Above New Hope.
THE CARRIAGE WAS WRECKED

Four persons narrowly escaped
death when a carriage in which they
were riding on Saturday afternoon
rolled backward down thirty-tive
foot embankment at the canal bridge
Just north of Newhope borough, pull
ing the horse with it, and wrecking
the vehicle. Mr.. and Mrs. ID. A.
Davenport and Mrs. Davenport's
mother, Mrs. Ramsey, accompanied
by Robert F. Welsh, neighbor,
started out with horse and carriage
to attend the meeting of the Sole
bury Farmers club at A. H. Vasey's
in Solebury township.
The Davenport home is along the
canal and river, just north OF the
bridge, and as they were coming up
the steep incline from the towpath
to the public road, a strap on the
horses collar broke, choking the ami
NAL until it started to go backward.
Wilson Shaddinger, the liveryman
who supplied the rig land who was re-
turning on foot, attempted to hold
the animal by the bride, but the
wagon slipped over the embankment
toward the river, taking the horse
with it and bringing up on the rocks
below. Mrs. Davenport was badly
bruised about the body and about
one eye, but no bones were broken
or internal injuries sustained. Mrs.
Ramsey, who was extricated from
the wrecked vehicle with difficulty,
was injured but slightly. Mr.. Welsh
was scratched and cut about the face
but he and Mr.. Davenport later
made the trip to the farmers club
where Mr.. Welsh delivered talk
upon bird life.
The horse escaped injury, and the
throng of people who visited the
scene Sunday, when it first became
known around town, marveled that
none of the occupants of the wagon
were killed or badly crippled. A
slight turn to the left instead of the
right, when the wagon started back
wards, would have sent it into the
canal instead of down the river bank,
with possibly fatal consequences to
the ladies, who occupied the rear
seat of the carriage, which was en-
closed.
The spot is a particularly danger
Gus one, although no fatal accidents
have ever occurred here. Since the
artists colony lhas located in this
section, the towpath is used as a
roadway to and from a number of
homes, and this is their only southern
outlet near Newhope. There. is
no guard rail along the towpath, up
on either the river side or the canal
side, and upon the former the en-
bankment runs from twenty-five to
thirty-five feet in heighth.

The Sergeantsville Revival.

The following special correspond
ence is reproduced from a special
edition of the Lambertville Record:
The Evangelistic Campaign at Ser
geantsville, is going forward with
vigor and success. Rev. James B.
MacClure is putting forth the word
of God, and it has been making some
folks change their smaller way of
thinking and doing, for Gods larger
way, while others are content to
grumble and growl because they are
being disturbed out of their own
selfishness and meanness.
This campaign will blaze a divid-
ing line between the sheep and the
goats or else it will be failure"
said Evangelist MacClure in one of
his plain talks to the people.
Sunday morning the church was
well Representatives. the subject was
Faith" and the word defined and
held up in such way that with the
closing thought" What Sergeants-
vile needs, what we all need, is a
clearer vision of Christ" the audi
ence went out to think and pray.
Sunday afternoon in Granger hall
a very helpful Mems meeting was
addressed by Evangelist MacClure,
the subject being "Faithfulness to
God, and Duty" as found in the
life of Daniel, was wildly and earn
estly protrayed to the delight of all.
At the same hour Mrs. MacClure,
held women's meeting in the church
with an interesting company of
thoughtful women. o
Sunday night was a record night
in many ways and the large audience
and the big choir at their best made
an enthusiastic service which was
marked by feeling of intense in
terest in all.
Three essentials in salvation: Faith,
Obedience, Conservation, was set
forth in a positive and forceful man
ner as the absolute need of Gods
children ere their work would be
pleasing to God. The day was mark
ed by attendance from distant points
of the county who are awake to the
possible help in meetings like these.
Sergeantsville is slowly awaken
ing to her privileges but, so many,
these days, are far below their priv
leges and would rather plod along
in their own way than have Gods
way, but under the plain searching
but love-filled messages of the evan.
gelist are sizing up the situation and
falling in line with God, and his
word.
Evangelist MacClure says "A Re
vival cannot be carried on without
PRAYER. No Prayer no Revival
ia his slogan.

EXCELLENT HERD
OF DAIRY COWS

The herd of Holstein cows and
calves purchased by the Farm Bu-
reau of La Plata county are now
down at the Durango corral yards
and are being viewed by the Durango
people and the farmers.
There are 65 head and, considering
the fact that they have been on the
way about one week, are in good con-
dition. The whole herd was purchas-
ed and consequently there are some
calves, yearlings and -year-olds
along with the cows.
This is a nice bunch of cattle that
the farmers were able to buy thru the
help of the Farm Bureau and the
Durango Trust Co. Had it not been
for cooperation along this line the
farmers would not have been in a
position to secure the deal.
The bringing of there thorobred
cattle into the county will do much
to build up the dairy interests. This
county is one of the best dairy coun-
ties in the whole state and the rapid
growth of the business will cause the
Investment of much capital which
otherwise would not be invested here.

BRITISH BLOCKADE ANNOYING

WASHINGTON, Sept 16. - The
British blockade is again becoming a
most important matter The new
British orders, which are viewed as
enroachments on the rights of neu-
trails, threaten to fan the smolderine
dissatisfaction America felt over the
blockade.
One of the effects of the new order
will be forcing the United States to
resort to retalitatory measures.
Since congress has empowered the
President with retalitatory power, the
pressure brought upon the state de
partment to back the contention has
been increased.
