so fulfill the law. I will not attempt to find words that will express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude which we feel we owe to you for this expression of favor and manifestation of your kind regard toward us. While we highly prize this gift, the Bible, for the intrinsic value, we yet shall cherish that gener. ous spirit accompanying the same. Our hearts must thank you in silence, and we will endeavor to so live and act that Division No. 189 may deserve a continuance of your kindness, and show that the teachings of this Book, your present, are not altogether disregarded or lost upon us. A few short and appropriate speeches were made by different Brothers, after which the ladies made things lively in the eating line. Some of the sisters then favored the company with a song, and with the use of a violin, a very pleasant and enjoyable evening was spent. At a meeting of Belleville Division No. 189, B. of L. E., the following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That we, as officers and members of Belleville Division 189, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, accept the beautiful and costly gifts, and in so doing would return our heartfelt thanks to the fair donors, our sincere friends and wellwishers. Resolved, That as a body of Locomotive Engineers, we do indeed fully acknowledge and appreciate the generous motives of our friends which urged them to this act of generosity, and that as a body of men, of which their husbands are accepted and honorable members, will only the more cherish their memory for the deep interest they have taken in our wel fare. Resolved, That as the gift is destined to fill a conspicuous place in our hall, and to be on the top of our Altar, we are, as a body of men, reminded that our calling is one of constant danger, but by seeing the precious Bible, the gift of our friends, we are constantly reminded that whosoever putteth his trust in God shall not perish but have everlasting life. Resolved, That this gift, to be fully appreciated, must be seen, and that its principles would indicate to our every day duty, danger and safety, and that, as an organization of Locomotive Engineers, we will ever try to avert all dangers of our hazardous calling, and at last hope to find a station of Eternal Safety. Resolved, That the above resolutions be published in the Belleville Ontario and in the LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS' JOURNAL, and a copy of the same be presented to Sisters Mrs. J. Kain and Mrs. S. McNeil, with the seal of the Division attached. ASSESSMENT NO. 362. April 19, 1878. Brother GARRETT VAN VECHTEN, of Vanderbilt Division No. 145. Admitted February 16, 1870. Age 44.

Green, reached over the boiler, grasped him, and pulled him over to his side. After the accident, the train ran nearly a mile before it could be stopped. Dispatcher Frech took the "Central" engine and went out after the train and brought it in. Mr. Phillips was taken to his home in Bloomington, and Drs. Field and Mathews attended to his wounds. The next day Dr. Wellington, of Pennington, surgeon of the D. & B. B. R. R., united with Drs. Field and Mathews in treating him. It was decided that his shattered limb could be saved, and under the skillful treatment he improved so satisfactorily that, in last week's Rock, it was predicted Brother P. H. Lyons, of Cream City Division No. he would soon be out. 66, died April 7, 1878. Died at the residence of F. Wurtsmith, (his father-in-law) in Monroe, Michigan, April 13, 1878, Brother T. J. Callahan, member of Saginaw Valley Division No. 99, B. of L. E. Brother Callahan has served as an engineer on the F. and P. M. R. R. for the past seven years, having commenced his railroad career with said company some eleven years ago, as fireman. Shortly after being promoted to the position of engineer, he met with an accident, receiving injuries from which he never fully recovered. During the past six years he has been quite feeble, having many times been obliged to give up, until his strong ambition would cause him to resume his labor, notwithstanding the urgent request of his many friends to the contrary. His troubles finally extended to his lungs, when he was compelled to resign his fate to the Supreme Ruler. He was buried in Monroe on Tuesday, April 16th, His funeral was attended by many friends, many accompanying the Brothers from Saginaw on a special train, furnished by Manager H. C. Potter, of the F. & P. M. R. R., for the occasion. Brother Callahan has been a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers a number of years, being at the time of his death a member of Division No. 99, in good standing and highly es teemed by all. At a regular meeting of Saginaw Valley Division No. 99, held at their room, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolred. That we return our heartfelt thanks to Manager H. C. Potter, for his kindness in furnishing the employes with engine and coach that they might attend the funeral of our deceased Brother. T. J. Callahan. Brother Wm. J. Phillips, of Centralia Division No. 157, died May 2, 1878, from injuries received caused by the breaking of a rod on his engine. On the evening of April 15th, as train No. 127, the Philadelphia and New York express, passed Hamil ton station, the right hand parallel rod snapped in two, and one end of it came crashing up into the cab, knocking the engineer's seat from under him and letting him drop through down toward the fly. ing wheels. Fortunately he caught the window and the steam gauge, and saved himself from the instant death which threatened; but before he could draw himself up, the broken rod, continuing its furious strokes, struck his right leg and shattered it in a dreadful manner. At the same instant his heavy weight upon the steam gauge broke it off, and the steam pouring out scalded his arm and body. He was about to lose his hold, when his fireman, George That prediction was never to be verified. Last Monday afternoon he complained of stiffness of the jaws and thickness of the tongue. Dr. Mathews was called, and he at once realized the frightful His associate physicians were promptly summoned, truth that serious symptoms of lock jaw had set in. and from that hour until Wednesday morning everything was done to avert the fatal end, but without avail. At eleven o'clock and fifty minutes, Wednesday morning, William Philips, a faithful engineer, a brave and honest man, a devoted husband and father, laid down his life-laid it down as only a brave man can who is "struck down at his post." Deceased was forty-four years of age, and leaves a widow and two children, a son and daughter. He had been in the service of the D. & B. B. R. R. almost with the C. R. R. of N. J. from its commencement; previous to that he was The funeral will take place to-morrow, (Sunday). A special train will convey the remains to Phillipsburg, leaving Bound Brook about 11:25 A. M. The last sad rites will be observed at the Methodist church, Phillipsburgh, at 2:30 P. M. It is expected that delegations of engineers and railroad men will come from Philade.phía and Jersey City.-The Dunellen Rock. Died, in Tulare Cal., April 19, of Diphtheria, Myrtle, daughter of Henry and Sophia Main, a native of Atchison, Kansas, aged four years, four months and nineteen days. The subject of this sketch was the daughter and only child of Henry Main, formerly of Division No. 164, now a member of 126. She was an exceptionally bright child-wise, far beyond her years. She soon engrafted herself upon the hearts of all who knew her, and when suffering the most extreme suffocating agony, incident to the dreadful scourge, Diphtherla, she would raise her tiny hands and bid her mother not to weep, adding, "Don't weep, mamma, we shall meet beyond the River!" Many of the good people of Tulare wil long remember, with a mixed feeling of pleasure and pain, the Sabbath preceding her death, how she gally tripped up the church aisle and asked the minister where she could find a seat. Going from Sabbath School that day she was taken ill and never left her home again until we carried her lifeless form and laid it beneath the sands of the great valley of the Golden State, where the wild flowers of April spread their luxuriance over these vast plains. Strong hearts wept as we laid her in her home among the dead, there to lie until the angel shall sound the call, summoning us all to meet beyond the beautiful River. We're all alone now, Myrtle, but on high we'll surely meet thee, When the King of Heaven shall deem it just to call us hence away. Far beyond the unknown River papa says that you will greet me, You and little angel brother watch o'er mamma till that day. M. DIVISION ADDRESSES.
