Diocesan Convention. The annual convention of the Cen tral Pennsylvania diocese of the Pro testant Episcopal church will be held in St. John's church, York, commenc ing Tuesday, May 87th, and will re main in session for four days. It is believed that the conjunction of such important functions as the convention itself, the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the consecration of Bishop Talbot, the session of the woman's auxiliary and the missionary meeting, will insure large delegations from every parish in the diocese. : What would certainly have been an awful calastrophy was just barely averted on the C. P. & W. Rail road near Jerseytown on Friday. A flying switch was being made while the train was in three sections. The locomotive passed over the bridge in safety, but when the three freight cars rolled upon the struc ture it gave way. The passenger cars were coming on behind at a good rate of speed, but fortunately the brakeman noticed the sinking bridge and by vigorously applying the brakes, succeeded in bringing the cars to a standstill just as they reached the bridge. The passengers were in ignorance of the danger which threatened them until it was all over. Legal advertisements on page 7. . . Wanted: A fcirl to do general house work. Good wages.
