The accident occurred over the hoads of a gang of thirty or forty Italian laborers, and the terrified men were in flight when the great mass of stone and iron was descending to the ground. Two, however, were caught and crushed to death, their re- mains being unrecognizable as human bodies, and six of their companions were injured, some fatally, by flying pieces of granite and wood. The Sodom Dam is about two miles out of Brewstars, in the village of Sodom. It is de signed to bea storage reservoir for New York city, and the water is to cover 1500 acres by far the largest reservoir in that section of the country The valley in which the dam is situated is bounded on sach side by lofty hills. Thedam is to be of granita, 125 feet in height, sixty feet wide at the top and 150 feet wide at the bottom. Across the valley immediately above the stone work was stretched the cable of wire, four inches in diameter. It ran over towers on either side and was buried deep in the nll side with the best of anchorage. It had been in use since the work began, and was origin- ally capable of bearing a weight of ten tons, A swinging car was arranged to run out across the cable from either side. was used to transport building material granite, coment, tools, ete, —but the wor'cmen | By means | of a guy rope a catch could be thrown off and | were never allowed to ride in it, car lowered to any part of the work, A car was sent from the west side loaded with two huge blocks of granite weighing two and a half tons each. until over the place at which a gang of thir. ty or forty Italians were at work lay ng the | stones As the car neared the men the crowd of | spectators on the west side began to shout, having noticed that the strands of the cable were parting.

The great blocks of granite were splintered and the fragments flew in all directions A ery or horror went up from the crowd as they saw two of the unfortunate work tnep, paralyzed with fear, throw themselves t on the ground. A second afterward a horrible shower of blood, brains and splint ered bones was thrown out, but the sight ! was mercifully almost hidden by the great clouds of dust. Rocks were thrown amon the companions of the unfortunate mun an a number of them, with several of the on- | Jookers who stood fifty yards away, fell bleeding.

WITH A GILT SPADE, Dr. Talmage Breaks Ground for the New Tabernacle, The ceremony of breaking ground for the now Tabernacle, to be erected in Clinton and Greene avenues, in Brooklyn, attracted a large number of spectators. The exercises consisted of singing, prayer, reading the Scriptures, and addresses, Dr, Talmage pre- sided, and also turned over the first sod with THE TABERNACLE BEFORE THE FIRE, a gilt spade. The top of the iron part of the spade, as well as the handle, was coverad with blue plush, Among the ministers who participated were the Rev. Dr. Lyman Ab ot, the Rey. Dr D. Wells, and the Rev, Dr. Terhune. Dr. Talmage made an address, in the course of which he said: “We put our church here because it is as near as we can get to the centre of our con gregation.

There is rarely sufficient room near any tree for all the seeds it produces to germinate or for the seedlings to develop into fully grown individuals, Nature is lavish in sowing seeds that the succession of the plant may be insured. Most trees are gregarious, therefore, in extreme youth, from habit transmitted through many generations. They love company, and really thrive only when closely sure rounded.

STRAW, WEEDE AXD STUBBLE. What use shall we make of these waste products of the farm, and how shall we manage them to get the most good at least cost from them? The profits of the farm are not large and we cannot afford to Jet anything goto loss. If we can by acare- ful saving of all vegetallc matter increase the manure pile so as to transfer a few acres from the unprofitable to the profita- ble side of the ledger, it is our privilege and duty to do so.
