".There is growing indignation here today because ofthe iion-nriest of Motorman Hamilton, wtio.-e ear jumped the bridge. The condi tion of the wrecked car's mechanism shows that Hamilton jumped from the car without reversing the power or ap plying the brakes. 1'iiblle opinion against Hamilton Is at fever heat. All consider him to blame for the frightful loss of life and the threats against Hamilton are loud. The police took precautions at the hospital to protect him. A revised list of the dead makes 2!) dead and twelve injured of whom seven will probably die. The coroner began a'strict investigation. Steps were taken by friends of the deceased and Injured to bring suit against the road. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 6. A loaded trolly car on the Stratford Extension line went off a tretle at Peck's Mill Pond at 4 p. m. and sank in the floats, 40 feet below. The scene of the accident is midway between Shelton and Bridgeport. The car was in charge of Conductor John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who was among the killed, and Motorman Hamilton, of Bridgeport, who escaped by jumping. The trestle la 440 feet long, made of iron, with atone foundations, and was not " projected by guard rails. South of the trestle la an incline, down which the car ran at a hlghfrate of speed. After it ran onto the trestle for about ten feet the trncka left' the rails, and then the car continued on the tiea for about sev enty live feet, when it went off the tres - tie and dropped Into the pond below, overturning completely and up-ending. When the car struck the four-ton motor ' the heavy trucks crashed Into it, in stantly killing many of the passengers. RELEASED FROM TAIL.

CAMP MEETING "THE CHURCH, THE MOTHEk" The Eloquent President of Trinity Held I Undivided Attention for an Hour and a Half. i The aeries of special services began in Macedonia church, southwest of Ral eigh, yesterday morning. The church grove was crowded with horses, mules, buggies, wagons and other conveyances which brought the vast crowd- Under abundant oak shade the congregation spread their dinners in the intermission ls-foie the afternoon serviiv. Of course. Dr. Kilgo was the center of attraction 'the little church and the artior.improvls i ed outside, was full. People Hocked there for miles around .and Ualeigh was well represented. Almost the ent;rc force from Sherwood Iliggs' store cann on t in a carry-all and many enjoyed their hospitality at the dinner hour The hrst service was a love feast, be ginning ut 10 o'clock. This was led bv Mr. T. B. Eldridge in truly Weslian style. Rev. Dr. J. C. Kilgo ln-giau his .ser mon about 11:30 and for one hour and u half he held the attention of his vast audience. Ilia theme was "The ( huicli, the Mother," and his text was 2d Peter, 3-18. "Grow in grace and in the knowl edge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." Dr. Kilgo said -at the outset that he intended to be plain and prac tical becuuse many suppose that the religion of Jesus Christ is strange and miraculous instead of perfectly natural. Jesus found illustrations of his kingdom in the commonest things around him; piety in grass, kingdom of heaven in a flower, his kingdom in a sower of seed, in a maiden attired for her wedding, in a capitalist investing his money. The apostle likewise draws from nature when he says grow. Growth lias the same significance in spiritual as in natu ral world. Until the superstition about the word of God that it is something unnatural is discarded you can never come iuto a full understanding of the principles of Christian life. "Abide in me" s the source of Christian growth, where there is growth is productiveness, growth is the manifestation of life. There is no conservation of grace; it is advance or retreat, grow or die. Growth is not produced by spurts. You cannot imagine, fret or fume yourself into development. When I wps a boy I used to put on my father's coat, but it never made me a man. There are some Christians over-anxious about their growth. You have a young tree set out. You cannot see its growth because it is before you every day. So when you measure your Christianity go not tip against yesterday but against live or1 ton years ago. Dr. Kilgo then came to a discussion of the laws of religious progress: 1. Proper nursing and protection for young life. Infancy is a hclpl.-s but a complete life. There is the perfection of infancy, but it is not the peifeclion of iiianliond. This life needs protection and God created the guardian augel of the cradle when he mude woman. The child cannot take a hard breath which doesn't wake mother; she is never so sick the children are off her min I. Sin has no desires or pleasures of her own but is wrapped right up in child Hie. Her children arc the greutest things in the universe to her. "I wish I could kuow how God brought this about." There is infancy in Christ; it is nns hazardous period because the most helpless. The Church's cure is to protect and develop this infant life entrusted to her. The Methodist church was built for this. "I have no hesitancy iu say ing that John Wesley constructed a better church organization than the Apostle Paul." lie had a place to lead the unconverted, to ' reclaim the back slider, protect the weak and a hospital for the wounded. "But we have improv ed ou the church Johu Wesley organized so that we seem to have about ruined it." God has constructed the church as a Conservator of young Christian life; the bride of Christ; the union of Christ and his church is like the mystical Nuuion between husband end wife. The church is only true to the bridegroom as it ap proximates this type and fulfills its mis sion of motherhood. Can a man be a Christian and stay out of the church? Yes, if a man can be born without a mother. I'd as soon try to raise my children without a wo man. Dr. Kilgo had no sympathy with the liberality which says that it matters not to what church a man belongs so he Is sincere. I am not ready to swap my mother. I would not have a spciety butterfly for the mother of my children, who has not time to nurse them in their little ailments and comfort them. Save my children from the calamity of that kind of an animal. Neither did Dr. Kil go want a church of that kind tracing its pedigree through superstition and . Ilea to apostolic days, and boasting of position and political power. No, give , us the church of Christ talked o o Peter1" when he said "If you lore me feed my lambs." God will risk love even in the bunds of stupidity. The church must love as a mother loves her child. There are some Methodist churches who do not want children. Ihey have a great furor about Easter, tits of piety gain social position, but no allnr for their children to kneel around. They do not want any one converted around I hem. The most pitiful sight Iuiagiu able is a little dying child, who will not allow its mother near, but elilis it s little life out from the colored nurse's lap That mother had sold her motherhood ( hurches have turned their children over to a hireling, and cairouse in another arm while the bridegroom wafts. If church cannot sweat the agonizing sweat of motherhood then she is not worthy of a mother's charge. Some say they do not like the Meth odist church, she is too narrow, ihev cannot dance, play cards and go to wine parties. I feel like saying as my father did when a man boasted to luni that his church let linn do these things, "les,' said father, ' and your church will let vou go to hell, too.' 'Hie moiher watch es over her boys and guards! them. When they would go too far she prevents them. When the church comes and sinus Un gate between nie and harm I love u l all the more. Godv pitv the mother or church who does not know where her bovs ure. 'But some man says," added Dr. Kil go, "1 don't like the Methodist church, sucil a plain meeting house crowd." That is why I love her. Tlrat is why I loved my mother. She ilid net have t i stop and fix her bangs and swdcr her face and there was not a time when I could not spring right into thus loving anus and kiss her lips and she was never sweeter to me than then, because she was so plain and so pure She did not send a hireling for me, but just gathered me up from the sand and dirt into her arms. So I don't want the frils anil llomiccs from the house of Henry VIII hung around my meeting house. Tin Presbyterian says his church is tin best; I say "you arc another," and thai ends it. The Baptist says his church is the best and I say "Just taking up for your mother, go along boy; my mother cannot be your mother and I am sorry for you." But in heaven the children will gather with their mothers around the great throne of God. Dr. Kilgo said he was tired of hear ing the church described ,-,s ji great, victorious army. When Sparta wanted true soldiers she went iuto the homes and taught the mothers to raise them. Dr. Kilgo paid a glowing tribute to Hie pasters, Christ's spepherds. win carry the members of the flock continualy on their hearts. He was tired of thes. fellows pitching a tent in a town and criticizing and denouncing I he pastors. Dr. Kilgo said that the pastors' work was ten times more difficult than the evangelist's. "I have seen people shout when n man joins the church, but I don't be lieve that counts for much, for such an oecasion is a time for prayer; God has laid another charge upon the church and each member's responsibility is in creased." He spoke of how an infant ( hristian was hindered sometimes by leading church members.' They lead him astray and then want him tinned out because he will hurt the npuatioii of the church. "Tliank God, I belong to a church that has not any reputation. Suppose I should tell my wife your son lied, send him away, he will hurt the reputation of my home. God, mother hood, fatherhood and church are too high for reputution." If a brother falb go pull him out no matter how be smeared you get. Imperfection lieeesd fates motherhood und human imperfec tion is the ground of the church. 2. Proper nourishment is required for growth. You hear a fellow say he can read Boh Ingersoll's writings ami no' be hurt; the only fellow 1 know win can do that is one whose head is a gourd with very few seed in it. Proper mental food is necessary for grow'h A fellow comes and says he cuiiuc t grow. What do you read and thi-ik about? He says the Almanac, Til News and Observer, the Agricultura Reports and neighborhood gossip. Well the almanac will do in its place and fo political and other news The News and Observer, I suppose, is a good paper, but you need more Bible food Fellow is feeding on dirt and expecting to grow grain. 3. Proper exercise. The Lord giv- s a man grace to do when he does. Yo-i cannot lenrn to swim by shivering on the bank of the stream. 4. Trial is necessary for perfection. When God Is ready to put on the top most .stone he is going to test the fouti dation. Dr. Kilgo closed with 'an ac count of Abraham's test and asked em !i to apply the question "how can 1 grow what progress can I make?" In the afternoon Rev. T. H. Bain, the pastor, preached and Dr. Kilgo made a short talk. STJN STRIKE. New York, Aug. 7. The strike at the New York Sun office continues. It Is stated at the Sun office this afternoon that no evening Snn would be published today. Five policemen are stationed there to protect the Son office; although no sign of violence has occurred.

'1 he Main Cen tral Railroad ran excursions to Bar Har bor from all sections of its line in Maine, I he attraclion being the warships, which were expected today. The train which h-lt Bangor at N:or, consisted of twelve cars jammed with people. At Mount Desert ferry, Ihe terminus of the line, the train is left for the boat, for sail I to Bar Harbor. From the wharf of a slip, or gang plank, forty feet long an ten feet wide, led ii i to the boat. The slip was hinged at the inner end, the outer end being supported by chains, by which it was raised or lowered to suit the tide. When the excursion train from Bangor arrived at the ferry, there was a rush for the steamer Sappho. The first few passengers had crossed the gang-plank safely, and it is estimated that 200 peo ple were massed upon the plank. Sud denly they felt the plank give way be neath them. The long timber support ing the plunk broke in the middle. The hinges held up one end and the chain, tin- other, while the broken ends of the l iank dropped, and a struggled, scream ing mass of humanity was plunged into the wnler. fifteen feet below the nharf. DETROIT. '!" THE BEST YET. Christian Endeavorers are Delighted to Hear a Report from the Inter-' national Convention. Miss Mamie Bays, of Charlotte, who Is chairman ofthc Press Department in the State "C. E." Union, spoke at the Christian church Sunday evening. Having attended the Detroit conven tion in July there were many things the speaker wanted to tell about, but in the allotted time only a few of the good tilings could be "passed on." There were 33.000 registered delegates at the convention. This number does not in elude nil who attended. As far as num bers are concerned, this gathering was not so noteworthy as previous ones at Washington and Boston, but the spirit uality was the marked feature of the occasion. The World's President, Dr. Frances E. Clark, said that Christian Endeavor was "going and growing" and iu that message there was a warning to all win would cease in their Christian activity, for when we stop going we stop grow ing. A need was shown for more interde nominational loyalty, a truer missionary spirit. Xow, comrades of the Quiet Hour, fewer long talks and at all times a love lor Jesus that will sacrifice self that the Master may be exalted. The keynote of the convention is struck when we repeat the words used so often in Dc Iroit, "Saved to serve." Selfishness means death. Service means life. During the closing moments of this glorious assembly which is declared to be the "best yet," a consecration service was held. When Xorth Carolina was called for the response was given ill words show ing that the "Tar Heel" Endeavorers cxi-ected to live so near to Christ that they would rct!o.ct His image, and thus bring untold wealth to themselves and others. God grant that the young peo ple of the "Old Xorth State" may ap propriate the strength and grace which will enable them to Ivc more than con querers. Mrs. Bobbitt snng a beautiful solo to a very appreciative audience. Miss Mcr nimi delighted the congregation with a simple song so exquisitely rendered that the hearts of the ieople longed to attain to the experience so sweetly described by the singer. The service was a helpful on and good will result. A meeting of th Christian Endeavor Society will be held this evening at 8:15 Miss Ruth Worth, leader. AH Endeavor aud the friends are cordially invited. The public welcomed. Miss Bays will be present at this meeting and explain rHe "Quiet Hour", and "The Tenth , Le gion."
