C., June 30.?There came near being a head on collision Saturday evening, between No. 4 passenger train and a light extra freight train, just one mile above the depot at this place. When the trains stopped there was only the space of six crossties between them. The passenger train was crowded, quite a number of passengers to get off here. Men on the train said that when the whistle blew and the air brakes went down so suddenly, they knowing that it was at or near the crossing where Mrs. R. G. A. Jeter ana two cnildren were killed a little less than two years ago, that somebody must be on the crossing and looked out and saw the freight train just in front of them. Excitement was great. When the freight train was allowed to pass here and the people here finding that No. 4 was coming proposed to phone the residences above here to flag the first train that passed. They heard the whistles blowing?No. 4 had passed by all the houses with phones. The freight train backed down into the yard, took a siding. The engineers walked out?shook hands, perhaps congratulating each other on their narrow escape and went on. It was a narrow escape, for if the freight train had not been on a straight line and had not seen the passenger before it got around the curve, or if the freight had been a hundred yards further along, that curve would have I been greatly in the way of the freight seeing the other. It is said that both firemen jumped. One said that he did not know how fast the other engine was coming, but passengers said that the way that engineer stopped No. 4 was a record breaker, throwing some of the passengers from their seats. Of course the raidroad authorities are trying to fix the blame. No. 4 was running on schedule time. Hey Denver. I > IM TIMES THE UNION TIMES COMPANY . BELL PHONE Na 1 * i 1 Editor ' a, S.

Buffalo, July 2.?The revival which has been on here at the Baptist church for the past three weeks, closed Sunday night with greater interest than at any time during the meeting. Rev. J. L. Willis of Morristown, Tenn., has been doing the preaching, and his sermons have bbeen forceful and convincing and the results of his labors are very gratifying and it is hoped and believed will live. Saturday night seventy-two candidates presented themselves for baptism, which was performed by the pastor, Rev. H. Et Hill, there were eightyfive to have been baptized but for various reasons thirteen were not present but will be baptised in the near future. There have been one hundred and sixty-five additions to the church, as a result of the meeting just closed. One hundred and forty-eight by baptism, and seventeen by letter. Quite a nice sum was presented to Rev. Willis Monday before he left for his home by the people of Buffalo. During his short stay among us he endeared himself to the people generally and has left behind him a most favorable impression. The mill here will close down Thursday night, July 3, and start Wednesday morning, July 9, giving the operatives a much needed rest. Some will visit the mountains, while others will enjoy the rest at home and a goodly number will attend the 4th of July celebration at Union. Mrs. W. B.
