accept their verdict as a conscientious

emeActo, June 10.—The Master Car-
Builders' Association, in session In this

mending two feet eight inches as the
-prhper height for drawbars of freight
ears. Resolutions were also adopted rel
ative to the proper height of the draw
-bars of passenger cars, recommending
three feet.
• Mr. Ford offered the following resoln
•tion:
- Resolved, That , in the opinion of the
Anlglciation six wheel trucks for the large
-sized passenger' coaches and sleeping
-: cars are the :West,' and, all things con
sidered, the best for railroads to use.
The question of the different kinds of
, \lizieltwas then taken up and discussed at
length, the bulk of testimony going in
favor of wrought or hammered iron in
'. preference' 'to the , axles of• east iron.
r'The, theory of crystalization' 'by'
-vibration of the iron of the wheels.
-was ' Ilebated, some speakers ex. ,
pressing disbelief in it and sub-sten
-fisting "ft -by ,actual examination of ,
wheeong in use, while °theme took
-the ground that ' iron did decay or
-crystalize, also citing actual experience.
- - she oldest 'railroad men took this side.
Rolled axles were considered by many
-as Unfit and unsafe, and steel axles 's. '
vored•as safe, though more expensively
but the belief was expressed that at no
- .far diatant time steel - axles and steel
' s ailslvortld come into general use.
Mr Adams offered the following, which
ize llo
was pied: '
_ Wet That it is the sense of this
I-Con ntion, in their kidgment,•'an axle

CBy Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
BALTIMORE, AIM 10.—Mr. King, - Vice
President - of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and. Wm. Foote, First Seperin-
tendent of Transportation, give the fol
lowing statement in regard to the acci
dent to the through express train from
Washington to New York last night.
• The train was przveeding at the usual
speed, when, just after passing Annapolis
Junction, on entering the out, the en
gine struck a cow, throwing her front the
track against the bank, the engine and
baggage car and mail car passing salely,
when the cow rolled under the wheels of
the smoking or forward passenger car.
The train was stopped about one •huri
dred yards from where the cow was
struck. The smoking oar, which was
filled with passengers, was thrown off
the track and completely -wrecked and
crushed. The second passenger car
mounted the smoking car and rested on
it at right angles. This wag badly
damaged, but not broken up. The
next car, a chair car, ran on
the wreck and into it a few feet, and wall
considerably damaged. The only per
sons injured were on the first two pas,
senger oars and the number instated at
eight. Of these Samuel Weild, a Ger
man gentleman, of Atlanta, Ga., was the
only person seriously injured. Re is
very badly bruised about the face and
head and will probably lose one eye-
The other seven persons were more or
less bruised or cut.
Mr. Wield, one of the men Injured, is
emigrant agent for Georgia, and was go
ing to Europe. He is still at the Julio-,
tion, it not being considered safe to re
move him. One man from Georgetown,
slightly injured; one colored woman,
head badly cut, and three colored men
bruised.: Clapp.ofWashington; re
ceiyedit ticalp wound. R.J.Riggott,lnter;
nal Revenue officer for New York, was
slightl wounded i the head. A.
Hall of y
Washington n , received a alight'
scalp wound. Mrs: Esmer, of Wash
ington, received a wound in the shoulder.
As soon as the accident occurredoinuch
solicitude was felt as to the safety of the
Presidential party, and on some passen
gers proceeding to the rear car, it is said
they found the President placidly smok
ing and not aware of the extent of the
disaster. \
Mr McCann, brakesman on the train,
had his left leg broken. The darkness of
the night added to the horror of the situ
ation. as it prevented the injured pas
sengers front seeing the full extent of
of the disaster. The embankment at the
point where the accident occurred is
about twenty feet high.

• 'ra j STATE Or THE CHUEON,
Rei. J. F. Spaulding submitted &re
port tram theqommittee on the State of
the .Church . - The Committee reported
they [had not received all the parochial
rector% and 'could not, therefore, make a
full steeement. From what they had
leakiedehowever, they gathered many
indiditions of life and .progress. In the
building of new churches and other mat
ters relating thereto l f thelre was great ao
tivitY and much encouragement. In the
increase of two ,new schbols and the
flourishing condition of the old, gratify
progress in the work of education
was manifested. The missionary spirit
evinced during the year Was worthy of
the church and maintained her previous'
standing in this respect. •Iti one point;
that in , relation to the payment or Bet:-
tor's salaries,-there seemed .to be gives
neglect; A number of Parishes were
largely in arrears. The Committee rec
ommended more attention to this impor
tant matter by those whose special care
it was. The report was accompauled
by resolutions, asking for the continti
once of the Committee and authorizing
them'to issue new , parochial reports of a
more suitable character than - those now
in use; • •
The report waa accepted and the real?.

drawn and the original resolution finally
adopted.
- Mr. Shoenberger offered a -resolution

Mr. Hay moved to lay the whole mat
, ter upon the table, for the reason that it
had been already decided by the Con
vention's previous action. Lost.
- Rev. J. F. Spaulding offered as a sub
stitute that the Convention withdraws
all assessments made before those of
1868, which are still, unpaid, so that it no
longer considers them obligatory, but
the Convention hopes that the sum will
be paid by voluntary diocesan contribu
tions.
A:vote was taken, resulting in the de
feat of the substitute and the adoption of
the original resolution and preamble of
Mr. Shoenberger.
"ALL SAINTS" AGAIN.
Rev. Mr. Coster read the following:
We, the undersigned clerical members
of this Convention, having been una
voidably absent from the church when
the vote on the admission of "All Saints
Parish" was taken, desire the permission
of the Convention to have our votes re
corded as in favor of the admission of
that;Parish. J. P. TAYLOR,
SAMUEL EARP.
Mr. Hay moved the acceptance of the
I paper, and that the' privilege asked- be
granted.
Rev. Mr. Eger moved to amend by
receiving the paper, but refusing the
privilege. .- '
_ Rev. Dr. Page objected to the reception
of the coinuninication. The question
referred to was the most important which
had beendecided by'the Convention and
he thought the members should have
beett present at the proper time.
Rev. Mackay also objected. 'He re
viewed the legal aspect of the case, and
thought it would be establishing a bad
precedent. He said, for instance,
if it were on the election of a
Bisho, which he thanked God it was
not, (laughter,) the receiving of those
votes might possibly change the result.
Mr.. Techudy said all had certainly
read the newspapers, and must have no
ticed time and again that in Congression
al
proceedings members were allowed
the privilege of rebording their votes on
measures which had been acted upon
during their absence, when such vote
did not alter the decision.
Mr. Hay asked as a matter of courtesy
that the members be allowed to record
their' votes and show-where they stood.
A vote was then taken, when the orig
inal motion of Mr.- Hay was carried, so.
the privilege asked was granted.
