The B^tlihdiem Baptist clmrch, of Penllyu, the honie nf a colored con¬ gregation, was entirelv destroyed by flames last Friday night, and wlieii discovered the blaze had progressed too far tobe ex-ingni.slu'd liefore it desirov- ed the bnilding, aliliuugh stnuudi^s efforts were made by tiie va.st. crowd which iissenibled. The fririuer church home of the .:ougregatiuu, a frame structure ad.ioining, was also   burned.
The building is an cuiirelv new structure, aud had just been erocted through the sacrifice of Rev. O. A. Edwards, pastor, and his cougregation numbering nearly 300 persons. The dedicatory services had onlv been held ou Snnday, Sept. 3(1, hv Rev. Samuel Jones, pastor of the Salem Baptist church, of Jenkintowu. luBurano had Just been placed ou the huihling iu the sum of $3000, while tJiere was also a policy of $1,J00 ou the old clmrch. With these two policies and the stand¬ ing walls, it is thought the church can be rebuilt and steps to tliat eud will be taken immediately.
The last servioe held in the new ohnrcii was on tho previous Wednes¬ day evening, and as uo fires were left barning in the bnilding, the theory ot incendiarism is very strong. An investigation ot the circumstances is now beiug made by the pastor aud the   police   authorities.
H. Hayward Draytou, fornierly of Peullyn, and Mrs. Drayton, his wife, who was the daughtor of Theodore Voorhees, of Jenkiutown, fieured in a driving accideut on the old STork road Friday evening shortly before 8 o'clock, when a trolley car crashed into their carriage, completely de¬ molishing it, injuring Mr. aud Mrs. Draytou, and also the driver, Robert Godfrey.

At the junction of Melrose avenue and York road a northbound Willow Grove car tore the carriage from the horee, whioh ran up the York road The wagon was smashed iuto small pieces. Mr. aud Mrs. Drayton were hurled with the driver to the roadbed.
Mrs. Drayton was cirried into the house of a family liviug uearby, Mr. Drayton being able to walk An auto¬ mobile was rushed to Jeiilintown for a physiciau. An examination, how¬ ever, revealed the faot that Mrs. Dray¬ ton was suffering from alight bruises and shock.

Emil Ricard, a little Frenchmau with au upturned mustache, who is a rather receut importation made by John Wanamaker to act in the capac¬ ity of chauffeur, finds it difflcult. to reconcile the French method of ruu¬ uing rapidly with that in force ou old York roatl.
This has cost Ricard money. A fow weeks ago he paid $13.63 after Justice Wood had adjudged him guilty ot speeding, and Friday he was up before tho same magistrate agaiu ou the same charge.
Partolman Hamilton, of the Ohel tenham force, said that tho second of fenso consisted of goiug about 33 miles per hour ou the old York road. Jusi ite Wood told Ricard lie would have to run slower hereafter, aud imposed a fiue aud costs, this time amouutiug ot $37.63.
Justice Wood said that in no recent year have motorists iu general senu- ed more anixous to comply with the anto laws in Cheltenham township, In contrast with last year, wheu Jn.st.ioe Wood collected |880 iu auto flnes alone, this yeat'samounl »ili n . exceed $230. divided among 30 niot- orista, 18 of whom paid $10 etich and the other two got $35 flnes.

The first iiiietiug for this season of the Plviiiiuitli Frieuds' associatiou was held in Plymoutli Meeting hoiiie on First-day afternoon. After being calhd to onll r by the jiresident, Wat¬ sou K. Philliiis, the meetiug was open¬ ed by Williiim N. Ambler, who read a portion of the Bible, fjuder the head of new bii.siiie.ts, a nominating- eoni- iiiittfee, coiiiiiosed of three member-, was aiijKiiiited to name officers of tiie association and membera of fhe ex¬ ecutive coniniittee for the ensuingyear. This committee is to report al the next meeting, at whicii time the action will be takeu on the report. The ex¬ ecutive committee reiiorted that the Norristosvu association had invited this association to assist it in enter¬ taining the next conference in the eveut of its Iieiug held in Norristowu the latter part of uext nioiifii. A com¬ mitiee was appointed to meet with their committee aud take such .action as it thought best. A very interesting reading was then given by Annie -imbler.
Barclay Spicer, editor of the Friends' Intelligencer, and who had beeu invited to address the associatiou, was then introduced. He gave a very interestiug account of the side issues of the Friends' conference, recently lield at Mountain Lake park, Mary¬ land. This couference is held every two years and nroves to be more and more interesting and beneficial each year. j\bont 350U Friends trom all parts of the United States and Oanada were in attendance, al.so a number of English Friends. One thing which was particulary noticed at tliis con¬ ference was the number of yonng peojile taking active part, some going as far as to call it the young peoples' conference. This was felt to be very enconraging. Another stricking fea¬ ture was the sociability of the conven¬ tion. One evening most of the Frieuds gathered iu a large hall, to each one wns pinued a piece of paper giviug his uame aud address and the meetiug from whicii he came. In this way all immediately becaoie acquaint¬ ed. The spirit of friendship and fel¬ lowship thua generated brought all together as ouo large family. The sessions were devoted to various sub¬ jects of iuterest to all. The meeting, First-day school, associations, eto. were touched upon ac length aud tak¬ en as a whole it was thought to be one of the moat interestiug confereuces ever held.
Aft^r his address a number of Friends expressed their pleasure and iuterest iu the remarks and expressed the liope that he would soon visi^ the associatiou agaiu.
