Cobb, pastor of the Universalist church, invoked-the Divine blessing, following which Past Commander George 8. Smith read Com- mander Stetson's address as follo Comrades:—The duty of today is of impressive significance. We meet to honor our dead and to deepen our rev- erence for their worth; to strengthen emong ourselves the bond of frater- nity by recalling the memory of experi- ences common to us al; to encourage a more generous for our com- rades who are sick or in distress, and for the destitute\wards of the Grand Army, to renew our pledge of loyalty to our country and our flag, and to emphasize in the minds and hearts of all who may unite with us the privi- lege and duty of patriotism. Tt is expected that throughout our services each one will manifest the most courteous and reverent decorum. Let our soldierly deportment be such that wé may worthily honor the graves we decorate, the memories we cherish, and union, as we have it today, there would have been a confederacy with slavery for its chlef cornerstone. The tes and territories would have been cut ‘up Into petty lics similar to those of South America and continual strife would have disturbed the land from ocean to ocean. Have you ever duly considerei what a stupendous u. dertaking it was to put down the re bellion and save the unfon? It was no easy conquest. On southern battle- fields we met foemen worthy of our steel. We who tested them at Fort ison or Shiloh, Vicksburg or Mo- tile,"Stone River or Chickainauga, Ap- tietam or Gettysburg, Wilderness or Cold Harbor, Winchester or Petérsburg —in the numerous campaigns—east or west—di@ not doubt their bravery. When American met Awerican the tug of war was something awful. It was eno to ‘make men tremble and shudder—enough to make angels weep. When American met American with equal advantages on both sides it was like the irresistible coming up against the immovable. It is said that at CoMd Harbor ten thouun? union soldters fell dead or wounded in/twenty minutes Ia other battles whole companies and regiments were nearly blotted out.

Rev. Dr, M. 8. Kaufman, pastor of “he Trinity Methodist Eplscopel church, was then presented and eave the fol- lowing address: Oup Heroes and Our Heritage. Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufmdn spoke as follows: Hard indeed and ungrateful must be the heart which has within *it no throbbing inclination to cherish the memory of our patriot dead. There is, however, a partial exouse for seeming indifference, and that is the impossi- bility of g adequately sthe ter- rible calamities they averted and the bountiful blessings- they purchased with their lives and placed in our pos- session as & wealthy, permanent heri- tage. That our comrades and brothers who offered themselves as living sac- rifiees upon the sacred altars of their country were genuine heroes cannot be doubted. None nobler than they ever dled for freedom—none ever bared their breasts to the terrific’ storms of war with purer motives. Think for a moment of what it means to die for one’s flag! Remember that “God's most Instrument In working out a pure {ntent Is man arrayed for mutual slaughter.” War is among the most appalling and shocking of all scourges. Only those who have experienced its flerce blows can reallze its agonles. War means the sundering of the dearest ties, turning away from the home cir- | this cle with all its loved ones; exchanging the comforts and security of the family fireside for the privations of camp and perils of the battlefield. War is the ‘wearisgome march, the lomely picket post, the wasting fever, the melan- choly prison pen. War is. the thunder ot artlllery, the sharp, deadly rattle of musketry, the terrifying shriek and savage sound of exploding shells, the maddening yells of charging lines: it is facing blasts of death dealing mis- |both in siles and rows of glistening steel; it is the ghastly fleld of carnage after the guns have ceased firing—field of car- nage covered with mangled human forms with their pale faces turned up- ward toward the sky. Such is war; such was our Civil war, only a hun- dred fold more painful and repulsive than any words can portray. Tell me, are not the men who Intelligently, de- ifberately, voluntarily teok, upon them- selves burdens of such’ mountain- welght and patiently endured such excruciating anguish as often fell to thelr ll:nlt—na did it not for themselves but ¢ might ever enjoy the 1ich benefits thefr lifeblood bought— are not men of this type entitled fo be known as Y comrades fallen | the never settles an: But this is not true of ‘our dvflw In the of the supreme court of the United States, it settled the fact that this re.

By their valor and self-sacrifice they made possible all that has been done and all that will be done till the end of time to make our country truly great. It was their heroism that has made it possible for our ulation to be more than doubled the war—for our vast natural resources to be devel- oped and our materfal wealth to be multiplied many fold—to give us as a people unenqualled ‘nternational Infiu- ence and to place this republic at the head of earth’s most prosperous and most powerful natiors. They have be- queathed to their successors the desti- ny of America. It s for us and those who come after us to demonstrate ihat high trust shall ever be honored by an unflinching fidelity to the ideal toward which they directed their lives Never must we permit the national standard they lifted to such lofty sum- mits to be lowered. Patriotism must forever be placed above partisanship— manhood above money—self respect and integrity above mere indulgence and enervating pleasure. Loyalty to marrfage vows, faithfuiness to every family obligation, purity of character public and private life—these must be cherished and treasured as our truest wealth and the most valued part of our blood bought heritage.

FREIGHT CAR RUNAWAY ON MONTVILLE SPUR TRACK. Several Narrow Escapes Along the Route During Ten Minutes. At express speed an open freight car of the Central Vermont Rallway com- pany went wildcast Friday, says a Montville correspondent, and _after Zaining all the momentum possible on the down grade run between the C. M. Robertsop company’s property in Pal mertown on the branch line, dashed around the curves at the junctlon with the main line in Uncasville and banged into two dead cars on the side track near the station. The car which went wild was .loaded with sand which is being dug out by the company at the upper end of the branch line. How the car started it not known. All the children in the Uncasville school were out playing near the grade chlaiflg when the car came along. They heard the noise it made several hundreds of yards sway and 80 got out of danger. The car etarted soon after 12.30 p. m. as it reached Uncasville about 12.40 p. m. There were several narrow escapes The northbound trolley car from New London had cleared tha crossing ny minute before. Jane McGinnis, who is around the crossing frequently, had to be almost foreibly pulled away from the tracks. At the rallroad station several workmen were sitting on the track eating dinner, and nu-h only jumped clear in time to avold infury. The sand car‘is a total wreck and lles a mass of twisted iron and splin- tered wwood about 100 feet south of the station. It is No. 7857 of the C. V. line, Tt struck car 76751 of the N. Y., N. H. & H. Co, a dig box car with a load of rallroad ties and heavy lumber. In front of the box car was a flat car with a heavy steam roller and sprink- ling cart owned by the Lane Construc- tlon Co.. which bullt the new macadam road. These two cars were hurled back along the track some fifty feet, the box car being wrecked considerably. both ends being splintered. How the runaway car stayed on the track around the sharp curves is a mys- tery. Several similar runaways have hap- pened on the branch in recent years, fortunately unattended with acciden! to any person. New London blers Pald. As the resuit of a rald made Satur- day night, George Bindloss and Charles H.
