FORMER WESTERLY MAN FOR BISHOP Rev. Samue! G. Babcock Favored For Suffragan of Massa- chusetts Diocese—Track Walker Struck by Freight and Instantly Killed—Miss Ellen Maire Dead at Laurel Glen—Funeral of Mrs. George H. Stevens. — i Senator Wilbour of Little Compton s reported for the committes on in- iporations of the Rhode Island legis- e, with recommendation of s age, the act which provides for ictice of pendency of the petition. for uwrter of the Norwich and Westerly on company. The report went to the calendar and the favorable ac- tion will probably be taken during th: prescnt week, as there is no opposition. ihis_charter will simply transfer 1o the Norwich and Westerly compaay the identical public privileges that were granted the Pawcatuck Valley ana the Connecticut and Waesterly companies, which have been purchased by the Norwich and Westerly com- pany. At a recent meetine the pro- posed charter was thoroughly explain- ed by President Robert W. Perkina of Norwich and received the unanimous ariroval of that body. Incidentally, Mr. Perkins remarked tbat at an early date it was proposed to improve the _trolley . service in Westerly by making the general ter- minal at the new railway station, aud he said he was of the opinion that the proposed changes would be for. the mutual benefit of the traveling public, the town and the trolley companies. “ne plan would relieve the congestion in Dixon square, especially In the sum- mer season. Mr. Perkins said the an- nouncement Wwas perbaps prematurs, as the plans were not completed. Judging from the hints thrown out by xome of the councilmen, the plan will have some opposition, but with very Jittle merit when the general progress of the town is considered. The Nor- wich and Westerly Traction company, which controls all other lines operating in Westerly, had arranged with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Raiiread company for terminal facili- tias. but subsequently it was ascer- tained that the section designated as the terminal in part had been taken over by the town of Westerly. The town had entered into a deal with tha railroad company whereby a strip of land near the town farm was given the company in exchange for a strip ten feet wide in Railroad avenue to permit the widening of that thorough- fare. Eoms of the members eay that they sre opposed to having troiley sidinss in front of the mew station for aesthe.- iz reasons. Others sey that the trolley cars should be compelled to run down Candl street to the steps leading to the station platform and then back up to the main line for through traf- fic, regardless of the attendant delave and public inconvenience, and others object to widening Railroad avenue 50 as to have a driveway on each side of the present trolley tracks. and then Pave the trolley tracks occupy a part of this addition. “God have meroy en us if we have to submit %o that" declared Attorney Albert B. Crafts, formerly of Wester- 1y, before the superior court, over which Judge John W. Sweeney of Westerly was presiding, last week. M. Crafts made the statement in his usaa”y drametic style at a point in a suit when opposing .coun- sel had moved for a direction of a verdiot end had claimed that pictures ; of the location of the accident shouil bs_coneldered as evidence. Mr, Crafts was contending that pic- tures could not accurately depict the lights and shadows been my different than the ligh:s and 'ws that were cast at the time of the accident. “Do counsel for the other side want your honor to show omnipotence by deciding how those Mghts and shadows fall?” shout- ed Mr. Crafts with characteristic elo- quence. The case was dbrought by Eugene Henry againet the Providence Gas Burner company. The plaintiff claim- ed that he was injured as a result of Cottolene is far superior to lard Pastry made with Cotto- lene is smoother in texture, finer-grained and better in flavor than if made from but- ter or lard. And Cottolene costs no more than lard, and will go one-third farther than either butter or lard. There isas much difference between Cottolene and its imitations, as between extra good and very poor butter. Be careful, avoid substit baving his hand caught in some gear- ing and fingers were lacerated and mangled. He claimed the defendant cempanyewas negligent in that he had not been warned of the dangers of the gears and that the light was such at the time of the accident that he could not clearly see the gears. Counsel for the defendant claimed that the plaintiff was guilty of nes: gence. that the risk was obvious and that there was no liability on the part of defendant company. At the conclu- sion of the testimeny counsel for de- fendant for the direction of a ver- dict. It was in arguing to let the case go to the jury when Squire Crafts waxed dramatic and eloguent. Judge Sweeney took the motion under 2dvisement and last Friday ordered jury to bring In & verdict for defend- ant. Rev. Samuel G. Babcock, a former resident of Westerly and a frequent visitor, is a candidate for election of suffragan bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts, where he is now arch- deacon. As a boy he entered the em- ploy of David Smith who kept a diy goods and notion store in a small ons story wooden building located in Broad street, at the head of Main. He was of = religious mind and a close student of the Bible. While clerk in the stora he became well known as preacher and supplied the pulpit frequently in tae small places in the vicinity of Wester- ly. He finally became proprietor of the store, but continued his preachins. This tended to bring him much com- mercial business. After a while he decided to devote all his time to the ministry and went through the proper ccurse of study and discipline and was finally ordained as a minister of the Protestant Episcopal church and be- came one of the best known clergy men of the denomination in New Eng- iand. In this connection the following from a Boston newspaper is of local interest: ~ Episcopal clergy and laymen are holding caucuses in Boston, choosing their respective candidates for the of- fice of suffragan bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts. The election will ‘take place April 10. Rey. John W. Suter is leading the “broad” churchmen, who held their caucus lately in the diocesan house, No. 1 Joy street, and indorsed the candidacy of Rev. Herman Page, D. D., rector of St. Paul's church, Chicago. A letter has been received from him saving that he will afcept if elected. He will be the nominee of the “broad” churchmen. The Rev. Mr. Suter has with him the Club of Twenty, made up almost entirely of clergymen of the “broad” school. The conservative wing of the clergy and laymen of the church are rallying around Archdeacon Samuel G. Bab- cock and consider him the logical can- didate for the office. He will be sup- ported by the vounger clergy, as well as by the missionaries of the diocese who have worked under him for years. All the representative laymen of the dlocese will cast their vote for him. They maintain that he has earned this promotion by his efficient work in the missionary work of the diocese. Rev. Willlam H. van Allen, D. D.. rector of the Church of the Advent, will be nominated by the ‘“high” churchmen, who are in the minority in the diocese. According to the journal of the dio- cese, there are 240 clergy in the dio- cese, with 350 laity entitled to a vote. A petition is being circulated in Hope Valley asking the state board of pub- lic roads to have the proposed new state highway which is being built between Beaver river and West King- ston extend from Usquepaug to the Kingston station direct, instead of by way of Waite's corner. The claim is made by those favoring this plan that it is a shorter route and will obviate many corners. The opponents admit this but will not agree that the straight layout will accommodate the greater number. The members of the state board have promised to give the matter careful consideration. Angelo Emillio, track walker in the employ of the New York, New Haven and Hartford ilroad company, was struck by a freight train while riding his track bicycle not far from King- ston statlon Saturday and Instantly killed. An extra freight train bound east was run onto a siding to let a reg- ular train pass and this train was backing down when the fatality oc- curred. millio evidently did not real- ize that the train was approaching him, nor did he pay any heed to the shouts of the flagman, but became confused and was struck by the train. He was twenty-two years of age and leaves a wife and child. Local Laconics. Robert T. Kenneth of New Haven i on a visit to relatives in Westerly. Thomas T.
