A special boat will be run at | 5 o’clock this m.rning, just as on previous | n:ornings during the rush, but probably ouly one special, the Tennesses and Ala- bomy, will arrive in time to connect with it. A number of excursions from the Southern States and specials made up of the stragglers of previous excursions are expected to arrive this morning. Judging from’ dispatcbes from Sacra- mento received last night at 9 o’clock the following specials, which are exnected at intervals between 6 A. M. and 6 p. M., will about close the Christian Endeavor rush: Minneapo Alabama and Illinois spe- cia'; Ohio special; Maryland special; special A, Chicago and Denver; Overland Muaii, due here yesterday morning; New York special; mixed special, including one Philadelphia car; special with H. E. Huntington’s car, and two specials as yet unidentified. With the exception of two missing sections of train No. 4 of yester- day it 1s believed that all the Endeavorer- bearing trains are accounted for. Now that the rush is about over the rail- road people atthe mole are congratulat- ing themselves on the fact that they have successfully handled the immense traflic without a sinrle accident in spite of the pred ctions of Easiern roads that the Soutnern Pac.fic would be swamped in the attempt. All the local trains have been run on time, and the ten or tweive miles of Pullmans 'lying in or near Oskland have been so distributed as not to inter- fere with the movement of trains.

This was the train that was in the wreck at the small town of Cody, near Akron, Colo., some days ago. It wasa disastrous wreck and shook up the people a great “The wreck occurr-d at 1:30 A. M., on ago,” said Frank W. Goss, one of the Eundeavorers who came in on the train. *Our train, which at that time consisted of three chaircars and three s eepers, ran into a stock train on a siding. This was on the Burlington road. We knocked thiee or four stock cars all to pieces, killing a great mary cattle, | ““Qur engine was all smashed to pleces and a number of the cars injured and several of our passengers were consider- ably bruised.

A reception and dinuer was given yes- terday evening atthe Young Men’s Chris- tian Association by the Congrecational Woman’s Board of Missions. Nearly 200 guests were present, most of them being Christian Endeavor delegates from various parts of this State and missionaries trom all parts of the field. Rev. F. E.and Mrs. Clark were guests of honor, and Mrs. H. E. Jewett, the president of the Pacific Board of Mi sions, presided. The reception was held from 4 to 6 o'clock at the Congregational headquar- ters, which were prettily decorated for the occasion. The rece; tion committee con- sisted of the following ladies, cfficers of the Board of Missions: Mr+, Jewett, Mrs, 8. A. Smith, Mrs. W. C. Pond, Mrs. W. J. Wilcox, Mrs. T. A Cruzan, Miss B. G. Merriam, Miss M. ¥. Wil.iams, Miss G. E. Goodtue, Miss Alice Fiint, Mrs. Farnam. At 6 o’clock the prty adjourned to the banquet hall of the -assoviation, where tables preutily decorated with flowers and many dainties had been prepared by the ladies of the board. A number of the young lady members acted as waiters. After the supver a brief openin= address of welcome was made by Rev. Dr. Adams of the First Congregational Church, after which Miss Xav Floyd Williams of Oak- land, vresident of the Young Ladies’ Branch, gave the greeting and word of welcome. ~ Mirsionaries were then called on for five-minute addresses, and the con- tributing members were given an cppor- tunity of hearing from the missionaries’ own lips an account of the work. Mrs. F. E. Clark emphasized the need of missivns and urged the Endeavorers to be morz entbusias ic in kiving 10 the cuuse. Rev. Sidney Gulick of Japan spoke of the work in the Mikudo’s dominions and declared it to be encouragine, despite rumors to the contrary. Miss Newton of Foo Chow made an appeal for the work- ers in that part of China. Mrs. H. Somith of North China said that her hus- band’s parish bad more tban 3,000,090 eouls in it needing conversion, witn only two missionaries to do the work. Mrs, Dr. Peck, also of North China, spoke to the same effect. Dr. Selah Merrill brought greetings irum Jerusalem. Miss Meed of Australia spoke, and the other speakers 'BRIGHT | fac-simile signatures will prove interest- were W. H. Stains of India and Tamil David of Ceylon. Mrs. Scales brou:ht greetings from the Woman’s Board of the Interior. Mrs. Austin of Hilo, Hawali, and Miss Hill of Boston also spoke. WOMEN GIVE OPINIONS Most of Them Are Workers and Like *he West. Though Busy With the Conven- tion They View the Sights. There are many bright women in the convention. Many of them are promi- nent in the work of the society, and some bave distingvished themselves in wide fields of usefuln Tnough they have not been in California long most of them like the State and are greatly pleased with the reception they have been given. The following interviews, likenesses and ing: Boe S i The convention has brought many sweetsing- ers 1o this shore, prominent among whom is Mrs. R. S. Magee of Topeka, Kans. Of course she loves music and joins in the Endeivorers’ singing “I want to live 1n California,” said Mrs, Magce. “I've only seen little of it, but I loveit. It is a bit cold for people from Kansas, but the cordial reception of the people makes one forget the £l ghit atmos- pheric chili. 1 have been out o the park, to Sutro Heighits, and I have been to see the £cals, nnd, ob, I should like to live in Cali- fornia.” Thirty-four years of earnest work in the broad fieid of Christian usefulness and charity is the proud r.cord of Mrs. Frances C. Meyers of Canton. In the sociaidnd church life of her city Mrs. Meyers has come in inti- mate contrct with President McKinley and Mrs. McKinley, the honored first lady of the land, and aiso with the President’s mother, to whom all Canton folks lovingly refer n~ “Motlier” McKinley. am au active member,” said the lady, “of the First Methodist Church, of which the President is one of the trustees, an also an interrsted member of the First M. E. Chureh’ Aid Society, f which Mother MeKinley 2y is tne olvest member. uring the active jeriod of the late Presidential esmprizn, when Canton was overrun with McKinley supporters and ad- mirers from far and ncar, the ladies of the Aid Society hit upon the happy idea of serving a luncheon for the benefit of the society at the modestsum of 25 cents per head.” That luncheon netted us $800. At that luncheon my especial detsil was ‘custodian of the silver.” Iam proud and happy to say we did not lose & spoon.”’ In her church work Mrs. Mevers his hed the valuable assistance of tne late W. K. Miller, who was to cast Ohiu’s electoral vote Jor McKinley. It was while delivering an address of welcome tn honor of the new pas- tor of the First M. E. Church (Rev. Dr. Manchester) that Mr. Miller was stricken with paralysis. Mrs. Meyers’ description o! the scene is graphic in the extreme. “He fell into & chair,” the lady said in conclusion, “‘and pluckily finished his kind word$ of welcome. He died before clection and never knew that the man he s0 loved and respected was to fiil the h-gh office of President of the Utited States.”” Miss Julia Carpenter of Cleveland, Ohio, i one of the beanties of the Christian En- deavor Convention. the is of medium height, piump and rosy. Her roguish brown eyes show n netural love of joility and fun, and the low, thoughtful brow shows ths earnest purposes of the charm- ing Ohioan, who is handsome enough to bea typical California gir. “Cal.tornia ?” said the beauty. “So far 50 good. Ibave not yet hed iime losee much of it, but I am’ going to see every- thing that is to be seen. 1 have found out one thing about Celiiornia, though. It gives one a tremendous appeiite. 1f I could only get my tranks I stould be per- fectly happy.” Miss Carpenter has seen the great Hanna many times. *“He looks just like the newspaper pictures of him,’” concluded the lady, * checked suit and all.”” Miss Kate Ketchum, the only representative from Northwestern Kansa, is going to try to ren.ain in California. Miss Ketchum is & public-school teacher of Colby, Kabs., and_this is hor first visit to the coast “Colby is a town of about 1500 inhabi- tants,” seid Miss Ketchum, “a d we have over 100 Eudevorers, not including the junior societies. ““Tnere is no comparison between Kansas ana California,” said the lady fn a burst of enthusiasm. “Cali‘ornia has surpassed my wildest dreams. I am enchanted with it. And the people—so cordial! ing to try and make my home here.” Wrarik forseon Catiun 4l Louise Churchill of the Minneapolis Times is one of the very few in the vast host now enjoying California hospitality who find aught but praise for this far Western shore. +“1 belicye I must have come in the wrong season,” said Mrs. Churehill, who seems unhappy at her disappointment. I have seen Eul little of *an Francisco as yet, but things have to me an artificial ap- pearance. Southern Calilornia was most disappointing. The towns dotted along the coast lovked as though they might have dropped out of the sky and were de- termined not to stay.”’ Even the climate meets with the lady’s disapproval. “see what it has dome for me,” she said in harsi, hoarse notes as she laid a warning finger on her throat. There can be no doubt that the most interest- ing lady of the'couvention is Mrs. Francis E. Clark, the distinguished wife of the president of -the Christian Endeavorers ana the founder of the organization. Mrs, Clark is intimatelyacquainied with the En- deavor work of the whole world.

Miss Lightner’s Appreciation —Howard Church Rally. “Rapturously we sing of an eternal city with its streets of gold, of the golden gate which ever stands ajar for all who bave kept the faith; but to-day another Golden Geate, jeweled with warm welcome and most geaerous hospitality, is spread wide open, leading to an earthly paradise of Howers and fruit; a city whose streets are filled with the bright, joyous faces of our genial hosts and their entbusiastic guests, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles to lift high the royal banner of our Kinz and leave a hearty ‘Godspeed you' with our Western Endeavorers.” Such were the pleasant words of appre- ciation of Mies Myrtle Lightner of Sabina, Ohio, secretary of the Friend-' Iaterna- tional Christian Endeavor Union, when she addressed the meeiing at Central Methodist Church yesterdsy afternoon. Miss Lightner, continuing, told the con- gregation many inier sting facts regard- ing the history of the Frignds' Union. Jowse, she said, had the largesi. number of young people’s societies and Indiana could boast of a large majority of junior societies. California was in the lead as far as intermediates were concerned and Wilmington Yearly Meeting reports the greatest increase in members. The lar- gest number of members pledging them- selves to give 2 cents a wevk for missions and tithe-givers are citizens of Iowa. Ohio has given more money for foreign mis- sins and New York has contributed the largest amount for all purposes. At the conclusion of Miss Lightner's remark: Mrs. Rebecca Naylor of Berkeler, Profes. sor Tibbits, pastor of Friends' Cnureh, Pasadena, Cal.; President Thomas New- lin of Pacific College, Oregon; C. E. Rey- nolds of Pasadena, Thomas Nunan and President M. M. Binford of Richmond, Ind., delivered addresses. Rev. Dr. Urmy’s remarks at the Metho- dist rally in Howard-sireet Church, al- though not less enthusiastic, stood out in told contrast when placed beside the gentle words of appreciation of Miss Lightner. Dr. Urmy said: ‘We have come to vlant the banner of the cross in the wickedest city in the broad United States.” The remark was met with long- cortinued applanse, and from that fact it is safe to conclude that the reputation of this City does not' stand high in the esti- mation of manv of the Eastern visitors. Rev. C. Kelly, D.D., of Birmingham, Ala., acted as chairman of the Howard-street Church raily. At his suggestion ad- dresses were delivered by D:. Charles W. Roads of Philadelphia, Dr. Case, W. H. Waste, Rev. Ezra Tinker of Wilmington, Del., Dr. Bovard and Rotla V. Watt. G g A FIRE IN THE SHEDS. Word was received here last night that a fire was raging in the snowsheds in the Sierras and thut a large number of En- deavorer trains would be delayed quite a while. A brief telegram from Reno to THE CALL stated that the fire was extin- guished at 6 o’clock, but that it wou'd be morn:ng before the road through the sheds would be in a passable condition. George ¥. Richardson, master of trans- portation of tue Southern Pacific, said last night in regard to the fire: “'I haxe heard that there are some rather wild stories in circulation concerning it, but the real facts are these : The fire was in the second shed west of Truckee. Thisis a shed 800 feetlong. There was only about 300 feet of it burned. “We have a fire train equipped with an engineon it at Truckee, and another fire train similarly equipped at Summit. The sheds are between these. Wnen the fire occurred the engines from both places went there and put it out. 1t was neces- sary to renew 150 feet of track, and the track was made passable about Sr. M. The fire detained the train about four hours. There were nine of them east of the shed. The last one reached Wads- worch about 7. M. and should be here about noon to-morrow.” - — MENNONITES MEET. Several Mennonites atiended the rally In the lecture hall of the Y. M. C. A. yes- terday, but no services were hell, as the Rev. B. Scrubb, D.D., of Philadelphia, who was to have led the devotions, was | prevented from being present. { Nora Beatley, The Men- nonites are for the most pari engaged in agricultural pursuits, and it is with diffi- culty that they can lcave their farms at this time of year. Those who attended the rally yesierday had oprortunities of meeting and pecoming acquainted, how- ever, though no services were held. S oy BERKELEY ENDEAVORERS. BERKELEY, CAL., July 8.—All the En« deavor societies of Berkeley joined in the work of securing the flowers and arrang- ing the vast number of bouquets which were given ont to-day from the Berkeley booth of the great convention in San Francisco. The various committees toiled far into the night preparing the myriad souvenirs of California’s sweetest buds and blooms. A whole wagon-load of dainty blossoms were shinped over on one of the first boats this morning. The First Congregational Church So- ciety was represented on the general union committee by Miss Lulu Mills, Miss Margaret Steedman, Miss Eila Bunnell, Miss Jennie Gilbert, Louls Earl, Earl Swan, Alva Stamper ana John Force. The workers of Trinity M. E. Church were Miss Alice Davies, Miss Margaret Dav.es, Miss Svivia Herrick. D. Worster, Miss Alice Maria, Miss Dora Martin, Percy K. M. Jenkin, Mis. Bertha Vervalin, Wilsie Martin. Miss Pack, Miss A. Warren, Miss Miss Bessie Pack, Miss Emily Neiman and Miss May McCov were the representatives of the soc.ety of the First Presbyterian Church.
