The Bar Harbor Express, running an hour and a half late, had stopped at a banjo signal, a part of the anti quated system used for years on this division.

Miller, whose home Js not far from the wreck and who tvas on the White Mountain Express, says he saw no flagman nor heard any torpedoes, and in the dense fog could see nothing until he suddenly discovered the signal against him and applied the emergency brakes, but too late to prevent the crash, which came almost instantly.

Dr. Lincoln McConnell, the new pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, who ar rived in the city Monday night, es tablished his position on the modern movement, and incidentally differed sharply with his famous predecessor, Dr. Len G. Broughton, who says the wearers of the late gowns are in league with the devil with no possi ble chance of ever seeing Heaven. “Modem woman,” declared Dr. Mc Connell, "doesn’t mean near as much by her fads as most people seem to think. Neither is she bad, nor has she given up her old ideas of virtue. The fact that she is going to ex tremes in dress as in other things is simply another indication of the 'Trend of the Times,’ the movement all along the line—in religion, in pol itics, in all governmental affairs, to throw off restraint. “This so-called ‘shocking’ part that woman Is playing in the great move ment ultimately will work out all right. The restraint will be thrown off (no doubt about that) the pen dulum will swing far out—it has al ready almost reached the farther point—woman will get universal suf frage—and then this same pendulum will swing back again. No Need for Alarm. “There is a breaking away from the old things—the eld faith—a whole sale throwing off of all restraint. But people phould not be alarmed, for there will be another trend backward when the good has been reaped from the present movement." Dr. McConnell declared Tuesday he would preach next Sunday night on this topic, “The Trend of the Times,” touching on all of those so-called evils about which people are talking so much to-day.
