Our church work in Salisbury is in a flourishing condition. Rev. W.H.Leilh, the pastor, is in favor with his people. Congregations are good. There are about 250 in Sunday-school.

The Woman's Missionary Society and the local aid society are in successful operation. There are many faithful and efficient workers in the church. Salisbury is a pleasant and prosperous city.

Assessments this year are heavier than ever before. It will take 2,000 more than heretofore assessed to meet all claims this year. At the first quarterly meeting of the current year all claims were reported in full for the first quarter.

He has secured pledges to be paid by June 1st for 2S6.75.

When 279 more are pledged, the whole benevolent assessment for the conference year will be provided for. We venture the assertion that no other church in the Conference is in advance of Central Church, Asheville, in this respect. Epworfh News. Edwin Booth remains at the point of death.

Fastest Time Ever Made. One of the Royal Blue Line trains of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on a recent run between New York and Washington, covered a mile in 39 seconds as recorded by a mechanical indicator. At this rate the train traveled at the phenomenal speed of a trifle over a mile and a half a minute, onover ninety miles an hour which surpasses all previous records of fast time. If the speed were maintained the time between New York and Washington would be reduced without stops to two hours and a half and with stops to three hours. Five hours is now the fastest time between the two cities, and it is made daily by the Royal Blue Line only.

B. New Through Line. preparing eor the immense traffic incident to the world's fair. The management of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is preparing for an immense business in 1893 while the World' Fair is open in Chicago. The terminals at Chicago are capable of accommodating a much heavier traffic than is now being done, and important changes are being arranged for the handling of very heavy freight and passenger business to the West from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

New equipment for largely increased passenger business and an extensive stock of freight cars have been ordered. The various roads of the system will be improved by straightened lines, reduced grades, extra side tracks, and interlocking switches. The new line between Chicago Junction and Akron has shortened the distance between Chicago and tide water twenty-five miles, and between Pittsburgh and Chicago fifty-eight miles. The distance between Chicago and Pittsburgh and Chicago and Cleveland by the construction of the Akron line and the acquisition of the Pittsburgh and Western line and the Valley Railroad of Ohio, is about the same as via the Lake Shore from Cleveland to Chicago, and by the Pennsylvania from" Pittsburgh to Chicago. The alignment is to be changed and grades reduced to a maximum of twenty-six feet.

It is expected that within twelve months tha old Baltimore Ohio through line between Chicago and the Atlantic Ocean will have passed away and the new line via Pittsburgh be established, with no greater grades or curvature than on any of the trunk lines.
