thoughts that pm
erplexed lu, and the
fear that fell upon him, when the angel
apepared, standiug at the right hand of
the altar, there wile no rebuke, but to
crave a sign that a promise ehould be
fulfilled evidenced a distrust of hipa
who promised. Doubt required a strong
corrective. Zacharias is a striking ex.
ample of the ills a good man may have
to stiffer as the result of unbelief. For
want of faith he lost his speech, yet judg-
ment was tempered with mercy. Though
he was chastened he was given the bless-
ing It was a wonderful message that he
was to be the father of a child great
in the sight of the Lord, one who would
minister in the spirit and power of Ed -
jam, and become tlie forerunner of the
Messiah. As Zacharias stood upon the
threshold of the gospel dispensation. ant
walk first among those who heard the
glad tidings, since he expressed unbelief,
it was necessary that he should be re-
proved. But wo see how much his spir-
itual life and his insight into the divine
plan of salvation had increased during
the months of silence whdih followed his
reception of the angel's message. His de-
finite answer as to the infant's name
proved this, and then the chastisement
was lifted, and then came the asraken-
ing among the people. The whole event
took on a new meaning.
II. The season of a spiritual revela-
tion. It wa.3 u remarkable oceasion in
the home GI Zacharias and Elizabeth.
Their joy knew no bounds. The glad
father eraised God for His judgment
on him, and for His mercy in the gift
of a godly 'child. Deep humility took
the place of blind unbelief. The Holy
Spirit as a spirit of propheoy filled him.
The eilence of unbelief was exchanged
for thetreon.g Of Praise. The light of the
gospel was a gleam of the light of
heaven. The new covenant was greeted
with joyful praise, a contraot to tho fear
and terror acaompanying the introdu.e-
tion of the old. Zaelatirias grasped the
pian of redumption as it unfolded in a
spiritual revelation to him. It embraced
spiritual emaneipation, filial servile, per-
fect character and perseverance to the
end. He regarded every ward of God
as sure and certan because it was His
word. He regarded the advent of hie
son as a, part in the groat plan of
introducing the gospel dispensation to
a needy world It was meet that the
Sun of Righteousness should have His
morning. star, John, as herald of the
dawn, and Jesu.s, the 'Messiah, the Sun
of Righteousness, whose presence con-
stitutes the day, should himself become
the dayspring of light to tho darkened
soul, His coming should be for the
banishment of sin and the introduction
Of all righteousness, the bringing of spir-
itual health to those who are dieeiveed
in soul, and comfort to those who mourn,
and rest to the weary and heavy laden.
Such an unfolding to the soul of the
hitherto silent Zacharias could not be
restrained. He could conteanplate noth-
ing ordinary in the gift of his son. He
could understand the import of the
engel's message and was filled with
gladnees. T. it A.

GEYSER Of MILK
Peculiar Accident to a Milk
Train at New York,
Smashed Into Taxicab
--
One Man Ktiled.
New York, Jan. 8. -One man was kill-
ed, another probably fatally injured and
two othere slightly hurt iii a peeuliar
wreck of a three -ear traiu. on the Long
Island Railroad near Hempsteodstation
late laet night.
The train was loaded with milk from
New York, and as it approaelied Hemp.
eteed it became unmanageable. It etruck
an empty paesenger car on the track,
wrecking the obstruction, also demol-
ished a (strong bumper and. then plowed
off at an agle through a railroad yerd
fence, atriking a taxicab and smashing
it to smithereens, and finally coming to
a stop, itself badly wrecked, after smash'
against the front of a building occu.
pied by a, real estate dealer on Fulton
avenue.
The gas tank of the train exploded
with a force which eent the tons of milk
in the care up in it geyser which spread
fer more than a hundred yards around.
Conductor Harry Limmerean, of I'Veod
Haven, L. 1., who jumped from the train,
was killed. His head was crushed in and
his legs cut off by the wheels. Thomas
rt. May, the brakeman, suffered a frac-
tured skull and internal injuries when
caught between the two cars as they
telescoped. John Webber, the motorman,
stuck to his post in a, vain endeavor
to stop the train, and was painfully
hurt by flying glass. Edward Kelly, a
man tele) had boarded the train as a
paesenger, was also injured. There was
no one in the taxicab when it was struck.
Winnipeg reports say weetern whole-
sale and retail business is quieter in
tone, although there is now a good
movement of seasonable lineal. Country
roads are in good. shape and the regu-
lar winter business is moving satisfac-
torily. Some complaint is heard in the
matter of collections. The results of
the Christmas trade have been excellent
throughout the west. In the majority
of capes retailers do not hesitate to say
the business done was about double of
last year. As a result in many lines of
business the new year finds merchants
much more firmly established than they
have ever been.
Vancouver and Victoria reports say
trade all through the coast moves well
for this time of the year, There con-
tinues an unusually active demand for
general lines .from all interior points.
Spring business also promises well. It
is now seen last year's business was far
ahead of that of any previous twelve
months and merchants generally are
greatly encouraged. Collections are re-
ported fair to good.
Hamilton reports say while trade has
a quiet tone it is Steady in character
and the outlook for future business is
excellent. Country trade has improved
during the week and collections also are
reported better.
London reports say retail trade is
steady.. While business is not active,
it is quite as umeh se as to be expected
at this time of the year. Local factor-
ies continue busy and look forward to
an excellent year.
Ottawa reports say, conditions show
little change from those of a week ago.
Country business is rather more active.
Deliveries of produce are fairly large.
Local factories are busy and there is
every indication that spring trade will
be heavy.
Quebec reports to Bradstreet's say the
turnover for the past year's business is
reported by the trade as satisfactory.
With fewer sexeeptions sales show an
increase, and comparatively speaking
losses are less than the preceding year.
The outlook for apring business is en-
couraging. In the city a quietness is
noticeable amongst the retailers which
is usual after the holiday rush. Some
aro preparing for inventories. On the
whole a satisfaction is expressed with
the volume of business done during the
12 months and favorable results are an-
ticipated. The local tactories are work-

Mr. Lawler took with him many im-

win return nere next week in time to
assist in the examination of Ortie E.
MeManigal, confessed dynamiter, before
the federal grand jury.
McManigal, who is now en route, is ex-
pected to reach here Sunday. Admittedly
the Government's most important wit-
ness, he is expected to relate in inittut-
eet detail the story of his two years'
experience in dynamiting at the direc-
tion of John J. McNanaraa, secretary of
sthe International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, and. to tell
with whom he was associated in causing
explosions.
It was learned to -clay that prepara..
tions to guard MeManigal in the Fed-
eral building have resulted. not only
from the desire to protect him from
possible enemies, but to prevent any
interference from the county authori-
ties. He will therefore be kept on Fed-
eral territory instead of at the county
jail, where county officers could. inter-
rogate him or possibly arrest him for al-
leged etate offences, as he is not under
federal indictment but subpoena in this
jurisdiction.
From the time MeManigal arrives un-
til his departure he will be in the cus-
tody of deputy United States marshals.
Three important witnessed. appeared
at the federel grand jury chamber to-
day. They were Patrick J. Dugan, for -
molly besiness agent or walking dele-
gate of the iron workers' looal union; D.
J. Cook, a bookkeeper he the office of
John .T. McNamara and Frank Eickhoff,
of Cincinnati, a close friend of Mc-
Namara.
Dugan no longer is affiliated with the
iron workers and is believed to have
left the orgenization with some friction
behind him.
Cook, by reason of his familiarity
with the accounts of the organization, -is
regarded as an important witness. In
his wake are eapeeted a corps of ac-
countants and stenographers, who are
alleged to be able to identify correspond-
ence emanatiug from the office of the
iron workers and now in the poseessicin
of the Government.
Eckhoff's knowledge is believed to be
in connection with many of the McNa-
mara's operations because of his long
personal friendship,
t
lied carefully prepared for the purpose.
The line of argument taken by the judge
was that inasmuch as the interroga,toriee
were preparea in advance, ahd were
available tor counsel of witness before
the actual examination, and inasmuch as
euch ea witness was permitted to coneult
an attorney and prepare himself for the
questioning, it differed little whether he
learned the replies by rote or edited
them ahead. of time. Just as a witness
had a iiaht to examine varioue docu-
mente in the record to aid him iu the
course of his examination, he could also
lay claim to the right to guide his testi-
mony in an examination on facts and
articles by referring to notes which he
had prepared for the purpose..

the collapse of the north wall of the
burned amusement hall. Yesterday the
provincial inseectors declared the wall
safe, but the cna,ngect weather conditions
caused trouble this anorning, and, tum-

narrowly escaped injury, and had it
occurred yesterday the bricks would have
fallen on a large etaff of workmen, many
of them patients. Breakfast had been
served, but the accident gave it further
setback to solving the institution's food

motion was based. Were the alleged in-
sufficieney of the petitions presented
to the council for its passage. His Lord-

one which the council could pass with-
out any petitions, and he expresses the
opinion that the power given by the
statute is not in any way diminished by
the fact that wholly unnecessary peti-
