Atlantic City. N. J., Special.-By the wrecking of a three-coach elec tric train on the West Jersey & Sea shore Railroad Sunday afternoon at least 50 passengers perished and the first may reach the total of 73 when all is known. While crossing over a drawbridge spanning the waterway known ase "the Thoroughfare,' which separates Atlantic City from the mainland, the train left the track and plunged into the water, with one or two. excep tions, were drowned. Up to mid night 25 bodies have been recovered and it. is believed that at least 23, and possibly 50, more bodies still are in the submerged coaches. The disaster, the worst that has happened since the terrible Meadow wreck of July 30, 1896, occurred at half-past 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The train, made up of three heavy coaches, which left Camden at 1 o'clock in the afternoon carried at least 88 passengers, as that number of tickets are held by the conductor. That official is uncertain. however, just how many passengers were on the train, and until all the bodies have been taken from the submerged cars, it will not be possible to give the true figures of the dead. Recuers Could Do Little. The accident was witnessed by many persons on shore and assistance was promptly sent from Atlantic City. Little could be done, however, towards saving the lives of those in prisoned in the submerged coaches. The water at tie point where th&e train plunged in was not deep enough to eove-r the coaches at first. but as they quickly seiled in the mud, and as the tide rose. they were soon hid den from sight except for the trolley poles. Divers were sent down to try to reach the dead bodies in the coach es. but as darkness set in and as he tide ran more swiftly. they were un able for a long time to reach them. Late in the evening a wreeking crew arrived on the scene and with their v~d and the use of a derrick, a dozen or more bodies were taken out and brought to the city. Of the 25 bod ies. about 20) have been idenmified, and it is believed no diiliculty will be experienceed in est ablishing the iden tity of the others. General Manager W. W.

Subject: The Lord's Supper, 4fatt. xxvi., 17-30 - Golden Text: 1 C<-. xi., 24--Memory Verses, 2$, 27--Comnentary on the Lesson. I. The preparation for the meal (;s. 1'i-10). 17. "First day of the feat." 'rhe 14th of Nisan was the day of preparation. The celebration continued until the 21st (Exod. 12: I1X-20) "Of unleavened bread." So Called because at this feast only un leaovened bread was allowed. "Where v ilt thou?" Jesus had no home of his own, and the disciples knew that sone place must be chosen at once. "ithat we prepare." That which was rf'quired consisted of a room fur rished with table and couches: and for food, unleavened bread, bitter herbs and a paschal lamb, which must be slain' in the temple between 3 and 5 o'clock, and cooked In a pri vate house. I S. "Go into the city." Luke says that Peter and John were sent. They were now at Bethany and Jesus sends them to Jerusalem. "To such a man." It is probable that this meant . some person with whom Christ was well acquainted, and who was known to the disciples. "Say unto him." Say unto the master of the house, "who was probably a disciple, but se cretly, like many others, for fear of the Jews (John 12:42); and this may explain the suppression of his name." "The Master saith." The teacher saith. This may, or may not, have identified Jesus. There was great respect shown for rabbis and they would be received gladly'in al most any home. "My time is -at hand." The time of His death, else where called His hour. - "At thy house." This message seems stran ger to us than it would to the man, even if he had little knowledge of Jesus.

On the one-man farm muuc'h plan ning is nece'ssa ry to enable the single sair of hands to do the work in a rush of the hay season without loss of time. A Michigan farmer has con trIved a system which cnables him to use modern machinery without hired help. He mows the grass with a five root mower, stirs it with a tedder and then runs a side delivery rake, which leaves the hay in light windrows. These win-drows are raked together just before drawlng. making heavy ;indrows. Then. comes the hay load er. which is attached to the rear f the wagon and pitches up the hay when the cart is d'iven forward. The ray is loaded on slings en the wagon so that when it reaches the barn It may be unloaded by horse pover. The farmer's little daughter drives the team when her father is loading :he hay and drives the horse when the load is bein'g taken off at the barn. In the barn a pole is fixed onl i pivot, .so that the man on the load tan swing around the sling of har to its' desired place by pushing or anlling the nnle.
