The report which llrsf reached Roanoke uhuut the result of this disastrous acci? dent was to the effect that Engineer Buh Lemon, his llremau, Express Messenger Hod Ash more atul .Mail Agent Reeves Ilollman wero killed; but this report the railway officials positively denied and it was only alter a great deal of persuasion" on the part of a Times reporter that he could get them to conlirm the report as to the death uf .Mr. HolTmau, the mail agent. It wa? afterward learned from panics on the traiu at the time of the collision that, besides Mr. Hoffman's death, the fireman had his leu broken bv jumping frcm the engine before the accident and also that Hob Ash more, the express mes? senger, had been hurt, but not jseriously. The engines, it "?aslearned, were com pletely demolished ami the track ac that point was covered with debris of all kinds. All traffic was suspended for thir? teen hours, No. t? arriving here yesterday morning at 13:30 o'clock.

EVANGELIST STRQUSt. Wonderful Success Which is At? tendant Upon His Work. The unusually largo attendance yesier day at the noonday prayer meeting \was more directly the r:snlt ol the Jannounce inent that Evangelist Clareuce B. Strouse, of whom tho pictute herewith produced is a first-rate liken ss. would lead tho meeting than the fact of Its being Christ? mas holiday. Extra chairs had to be brought in to accommodate thB men who seemed anx? ious to bear this remarkable man. about whom so much is being said and written pro and con, as to the influence his short religious career, rich spiritual experi? ences and his interpretation of the word of Hod is exerting upon his hearers at various places where he has hold success? ful .eetings In the past three years. The words of Jesus, "A prophet is not without honor bhvo in his own country and in his own house," are in a great, measure exemplified in the case ot Evan? gelist Strouse. To many renders of The Times he is simply Clarence Strouse and nothing mere, reared as he was right in their mfdst'wtthout any particular training to tit him for the great work to which God has evidently culledjhinii But away fsom homo in communities where he lies by the aid of the Holy Spirit conducted sweeping revivals against powerlul odds and opposition, when hundreds and even thousands were brought it.to a closer re? lation to God, his name has become a household/word, and he Is regarded by many of the be-st informed, in places where he- 1ms held meetings, as a man of extraordinary abilities and Indeed super? natural power.-, surpassing many of the noted evangelists of this day and gener? ation. 'I bat he is a man under the power and inspiration ol tho Holy Ghost, and "mighty in the Scriptures," possessing a marvelous knowledge and showing :i familiarity seldom exhibited by those .spending a whole lifetime in the study of God's word, those in attendance at the nooa meeting yesterday nould readily see and appreciate. b'or nearly an houv ho was given the closest attention while he made rtii ex? pository talk upon the fourth chapter of 1st ?lohn, supporting his favorite theme. "Christ in you the hope of Glory and perfect Move," by many conclusive texts and 11 personal experience that carried conviction wi?h every word he uttered. That there is strong opposition to" the views ho advocates will not be denied and therefoie no little prejudice to him and his work, owln? largely perhaps to mis? representation, but ivhatevnr'else may. be said, after one has heard him talk his sincerity and a burniiitt des're to do good to save souls is never questioned.
