'There were no articles of identification on his persen, and from his apfearance it seemed prebable that he was a wanderer. His head was crushed in and his face mutilated al- most beyond recognitlon. Employes of the leather company saw the man step up on a litile bank of sand as the southbound traln ap- proached, and it is beiieved that the suction from the train caused the man to slip in the inseciire footing offered by the sand, and fall backward into the train. His head and chest were badly crushed, his right arm was cut off and his left hand amputated. The wheels apparently passed over parts of his body and then he was hurled out beside the tracks, where he whs picked up after the train had passed. The dead man was 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighed about 160 pounds, He appeared to be akbout 50 vears of age. He had an iren gray moustache and his hair was sprinkled with gray, the top of his head being bald. He bad blue eyes. He was wearing ‘an old black coat and vest and dark trousers with a light stripe in the cloth. He ware brown_socks and oxford shoes. No articles of Identification were found, his pockets containing two cents, & small loeing glass and u plece of soap. In his rear pocket was a New York pa- per of last Sunday folded at the want column, Medical Examiner R. W. Kimball ex« amined the body and gave permission to Church & Allen for its removal to thelr morgue, where it will be kept for a few days awaiting possible identini- cation, BABY SHOW FEATURE OF THE 1913 FAIR.

Shanley, P. R. of St. Peter's church, Danbury, delivered the eulogy on Rev. Timothy, R. Sweeney, formerly of Norwich and New London, pastor of tife Church of the Sacred Heart of Bridgeport, who died last Friday night in Bridgeport and whose body was brought to New London for burial Tuesday afternoon, at the sol- emn requiem high mass in Bridgeport Tuesday morning. It was a touching tribute to the dead priest and a mas- terly effort in which he paid especial tribute to the efforts of Father Swee- ney along the lines of parochial school education. Father Shanley extended the sympathy of priests and congrega- | tion to the sorrowing relatives, remind- ing them their consolation in _their | hour of grief was to be found in the exemplary life of their departed. In the course of the eulogy Father Shanley sald: “After serving zealously as an assist- | ant at Meriden, Grosvenordale, Moosup | and Norwich, ie was appointéd pastor of Litchfleld,’ where he built a church { which 1s an otnament to the town and |the glory of the Catholic peeple. He was afterward promoted to_Portland {and finally to this parish, Whilst he | exereised the ministry here and in | Portland he was aetivel energetic and | zealous in fulfilling his duties as & | member of the dioeesan school board, ‘Father Sweeney valued the power of the gift of teaching, WHhilst not aiming at the oraterical, he was a good insiructor, and in the day of his | heaith he was ‘assidusus in informing the minds and directing the wills of hig people to know God and to serve Him, At my last conversation with , about twe months age, when he a8’ unable to ascend the few steps of the front porch of his house, he ex- pressed the wish that he would soon e able to address his people from the pulpii.

Tuesday night under the watérs of the Bound, &t points known only to the coast ces, were planted ‘theoretical mines, the explo- #fon of which meant utter destruction to_the attacking fieet. 1t was these mines that the black fleet divigion was ‘attempting to lo- cate and destroy. Also beneath the water ran the cable by which com- munication between the forts and the mainland was obtained, and the cut- ting of this was an fmportant strategic move which the enemy intended. For nearly four hours the black fleet division “swept 'the Sound and _for an equal length of time the fortifica- tions deluged theém with imaginary shells. In the face of a fire which no naval force could have withstood, the Dattleships and destroyers retired at 1 o'clock Wedhesday morning. Of course it is not fo be presumed that the enemy in the course of its two days and_three nights of attack has not picked up some valuable in- formation. Searchiights have been un der observation and as a result there will probably be radical changes in their positions. The black fleet’s de- stroyers have definitely located many of these searchlights and theoretically have perhaps been able them. With these facts discovered, the maneuvers have ‘already more than paid for their cost. General Barry does not state how much more efficient the forts may be made by what has been learned al- ready, but it is certain they will be far better able to cope with a possible enemy, General Barry" Statement. fleet up to the present time General Barry had this to say: “The fieet under the al of Admiral Badger s trying searching out in an unysually efficien manner every phase uf the defenses, including the number of men, in such a way as to be of the greatest benefit in doing those things that would be ex- pected in action against a real enemy. This gives actual larget practice against which the defenses would op- erate in time of war." DEMANDS DIVORGE AND ALIMON M. Palmer of Norwich Brings Against Reuben T. Palmer, Jr., of New London.
