SNOW STORM TIE-UP, Trolleys, Steam Road, Electric Se vice and Town Hall Clock Affected. A snow storm of regular winter type zave the city about § inches of snow between early Saturday morning and early Sunday morning, resulting in de- rangenient of the trolley cervice late Saturday night, when cars were off the track on both the Montville and West- erly lines, the New Haven trains were from an hour to an hour and a half late, and during Saturday afternoon s, wiré down o nForest street deprived that .section of electric light for some time, and a wire of the bigh tention line from Scotland dam that was down on Boswell avenue shut off all the city power for about half an hour around 215 o'clock. The engine at the city. electric light station had to be start- ed to give the city electric power in the meantime. Mayor T. C. Murphy was greatly pleased with the response that the management of the trolley road made in getiing Franklin square cleared out early Sunday morning after he had in- terested himself to ask Superintendent Samuel Anderson to give special at- tention to having that part of the city comfortable for the church goers. The street department was also early ac- tive to make conditions as comfortable as possible. A large tree on Sachem street about 100 feet north of Washington street ‘was blown over onto the Osgood prop- erty during the snow and wind storm of Saturday. The tree in falling crash- ed into an epple tree on Mr. Osgood’s lawn and broke off two large llmbs, besides doing considerable damage to the wire fence about the property. The pavement in the street was torn un arouhd the tree as was also the ce- ment curbing and one of the sidewalk blocks. When the macadam road was lai don Sachem street a year or o ago the roots were cut on the north side of the tree and when the telephone company laid underground ‘wires through the streets the roots on the south side were cut away, leaving only a few roots on the east and west sides as supports. The storm on Saturday wis & northeaster and so the tree of- fered but little resistence when sthuck: by the full force of the wind. Al midnight Sunday the clock in the town hall stopped for 10 minutes: It started again but was 10 minutes slow all day Sunday to- the considera- ble discomfiture of many who did. not know the fact.

The family came to this country when he was quite a bey, locating at Fall River, where he has one sister surviving, Mrs. Mary Mernin. In his early active life Mr. Drohan ‘was in the shipbutlding trade, but after the close of the Civil war he located in this city and for 30 or 35 years Was in the employ of the Norwich and Worcester railroad repair department, first working for them in the building of the carshops on North Main street. He was a patriotic citizen of his adopted coungry and early enlisted at the outbreak of the Civil war and served all through the four years of that struggle. His -first _enlistment was in the Fourth Rhode Island regi- ment, and he was also in a New Jer- sey regiment, re-enlisting at the end of each térm as long as the war con- tinued. He enlisted as a private, but by conspicuous gallantry in action gained promotions to the ranks of ser- geant major and first lieutenant, and one of his proudest possessions was a sword and belt presented to him by his commanding officer in token of con- spicuous bravery ip action. He was in many of the big engagements of the war, including Antietam and the sec- ond battle of Bull Run, and was never wounded, although he had some nar- row escapes. Throughout his life he maintained a lively interest in military affairs and was a close follower of the tactics in ' the present European war, contrasting them with the methods which he had seen. employed in his active service.

Judge Morse died Friday STORY OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION Easter Joy in §ong and Sermon in the Churches—Pulpits and Altars Were Decked With Fairest Flowers—Congrega- tions of Good Proportions Though Snowy Streets Sug- gested Christmas Season. ——— Such an Easter Sunday as doubtless is not within the memory of the old- est inhabitant greeted this city and Section with a snowfall of from eight to nine inches in depth and a chilly touch in the temperature that made winter rather than spring garments the preferred attire for the day. Yet the church going crowds were of near- ly the usual proportions for the day, especially at the evening services. The Special efforts that were made by the street department and the snow shoveling gangs of the trolley road contributed materially to the comfort of pedestrians and by the time night had arrived the sun and wind had played their part in providing dry pavements “and _crosswalks for those Who attended the evening services. At Trinity Episcopal. Special Easter services for the chil- dren of Trinity Episcopal Sunday school were held in the church Sun- day afternoon at 4 o'clock. As the choir led the singing of the carof, Ring, Ye Bells of Easter Day, the members .of the school walked into the church in double flle from the Sunday school room and took seats on either side of the main aisle. The scripture lesson was from Mark 15. The rector, Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown announced as his text, St. John 1125, “I am the resurrection and light:” Archdeacon Baown presented his sermon in simple language, yet in convincing manner, so that even the ‘youngest members of the school listen- ed to bim with interest. Ho likened the effect of electric night at his home in Hartford after a short illness, of pneumonia. Judge Morse was born in East power on a dead or stalled car to the effect produced-by the power of Jesus Christ on a man dead to God's King- dom. We not only need Christ to start us right but we need Him to keep us right. [(Christ must continually supply us with power and strength to resist temptation. Unless men do as Christ commands they lose their| union with Him. Just as Christ is the resurrection and life to men il life so is He the power by which we may be raised from death. ‘ollowing the singing of another Baster carol, On the Wings of Living Life, potted plants were distributed to all the members of the Sunday school. As the rector announced the names of the classes they walked to the front of tHe church and were given theiy plants by several of the young men who assisted in the distribution. The closing carol was Christ is Risen. The choir directed by Mrs. Walter M. Buckingham led in the singing of the carols. At the morning service the rector spoke on the subject, Christ's Easter Message, tBe text being Rev. 118, “And I was dead and behold, I ~am alive forevermore and I have the keys of death and of Hades.” The beautiful floral decorations con- sisted of daffodils, lilies and wreaths attractively arranged about the altars. At Broadway Church. At the morning service at Broad- way Congregational church, Christ's Redemptive Resurrection was the sub- ject of the sermon by the pastor, Re Edward S, Worcester, who spoke from the text, Romans 4.25: Who was de- livered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. Irt brief he said that these two par- allel clauses sum up the whole unigue experience of Jesus viewed from the standpoint of its connection with us men. It was not simply an affair of his, but had its ground in what we are and its object in what ‘we are to be. This is true of the res- wrrection as well as of the cruci- fixion, for the two are inseparable, parts of a single process, like breath- ing or a heart-beat. By the resur- rection this Saviour who had spent himself for men’s sake entered 'into the spiritual power which is exerted effectively for their salvation. By the resurrection men came to know who He was and what it was He had ac- complished on the cross, where other- wise it might only have appeared that perfect obedience and entire self-sacri- fice wete a disappointment and a fail- ure. So He rose as well as died to set us free from the power of evil. ‘We must think of the two events, and the two days which commemorate them, together. Good Friday without Easter would be desolate. Easter without Good Friday would be mean- ingless. In the disciples, no less, must the two be ore—the surrender of self by which he dies to sin and the new Woodstock, May 26, 1848, the son of Nathan and Eunice (Bass) Morse. He graduated from Amherst college in 1871 and the following year went back to Nichols academy, at Dudley, Mass., as principal. After a year there he took the principalship of the high school at Wilbury, Mass., where he stayed for two years. During this time he had been study- ing law during his spare time and in 1875 he got a place in a law office in this city. A few years later found him admitted to the bar and. connect- ed with the offices of Charles Perkins in Hartford. Later he opened an of- fice of his own and at the time of his death had a large practice in his offices at No. 50 State street. He was active in politicsy being councilman from the Second ward, Hartford, in 1885-1886 and alderman in 1887-186S. He was appointed judge of the city court, holding the office during the period of eight vears ending about a decade ago. He was a republican in his politics until a few years asgo, ‘when he followed the tide that went to the Bull Moose platform. He was a member of the East Woodstock Con- gregational church, He leaves two brothers, Chauncey Morse of Putmam and Marcus B. Morse of East Woodstock, and a sis- ter, Mrs, Jane M. Perry of EastsWood- stock, as well as threo nieces and three nephews, Mrs. Welles M. Par- tridge, Mrs. Harry L, Nickerson, Miss Alice ‘Morse, Brnest Morse, Carl C. Morse and Henry J. Potter. William Freeman, Willlam Freeman dled Sunday aft- ernoon at 8.24 v'clock at his home, No. 231 Laurel Hill avenue, following an iliness of a years duration, During his long ifinéss he had been cared for by o trained nurse and was given every attention possible. He was born in Birmingham, England, 55 years ago, the son of William and Selina Freeman, but the greater part of his itfe -had been passed in this country. He was united in_marriage in New- ark, N. J, with Miss Frances Sen- ders, who survives him. For 25 years he was employed as foreman of the stoclroom of the Hopkins & - Allen Arms Co., having been a resident of Norwich for 28 years past. . _ - Besides his mother, Mrs. Selina Freeman of Norwich, and his wife, he leaves four children, William H. Free- man of Detroit, Henry Alfred Free- man of this city, Albert Leonard and Mrs. Willlam A." Young, also of this city. There also survive a sister, Mrs, Charles Bowne, and a brother, Brnést ‘both of this city. § Mr, Freeman was well and favor- ably ‘known to a host of acquaint- ances who sincerely mourn his death. Dbirth by which he lives to God. And since whatswas done on Christ’s part was for us, those of us who still cling to sin and decline our freedom are, 80 far as in us lies, making vold both his cross and his resurrection. At the morning service the offertory solo was by Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard, whose voice was heard at its best in the selection, The Risen Christ (Word- man), and at the afternoon service at 5 o'clock which was largely musical, the solo was by Walter F. Lester, who rendered with splendid effect the com- position of Hawthorne, Easter Day Has Crowned Him King. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with lilies and daffodils against a background of palms and green foli- age, At Second Congregational. A cantata, The Ressurrection and the Life, was splendidly given during the evening service at the Second Congregational church Baster Sunday. Those participating in the cantata, were as follows: Soloists: Miss Gifford, Mrs. George T. Lord, Mrs. Arthur R. Blackledge, C. D._Geer. Sopronos: Miss Mary Stephenson, Miss Marion Kimball, Miss Under- wood, Mrs. W. F. Bailey. Altos. Mrs. Reuben P. Potter, Mrs. D. S, Haviland, Miss Beebe. Tenors: G. Curtis Hull, Charles W.

A silent prayer followed the canta- ta and the benediction was then pro- nounced. As the prelude, the organ- ist rendered Hallelujah chorus, Ham- del, and Triumpal March, Lemmons, as ‘the postlude. At the morning service the theme of the sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, was The Love of Christ and the text taken was Luke 23.46, “Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit.” Rev. Mr. Wyckoff also preached a children’s_sermon, the theme of which was Children who live with Jesus, taken from Luke, 18.16, “Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me, and Forbig Them Not; For to Such Be- longeth the Kingdor of God.” At Universalist Church. The sermon for the day by the pas- tor, Rev. J. F. Cobb, at the morn- ing service at the Church of the Good Shepherd (Universalist) was upon The Spiritual Life, from the test “Be- loved, now are we children of God and it is not yet made.manifest what we shall be. “We know that if He shall be manifested, we shall be like him, for de shall see Him as He is. “We have just been celebrating Holy Week when our thoughts naturally turned to our Lord's Triumphal En- try into Jerusalem, emblamatic of Hig triumphal entry with the Kingdom of Heaven in the hearts of men through the universe. We participated in the celebration of the institution of the Lord’s Supper, when He had His chosen deciples with him and com- municated to them many things con- cerning life. 7 Qn the next day came an event which has appealed to the hearts of thinking people. On that day known to his followers as Good Friday _ or] Holy Friday our Lord was crucified. Then came that glorious, glad Sunday morning when Mary on visiting _His tomb found that He was alive. It is the joy of Baster with its message to the world that we would experience this day. It is & message of life, re- newed, recreated, continuous life. Man needs a living falth to help ‘Him attain the glosious transformation of character. Man must have a living, falth in a living God. Man must have a living faith in a living Chtist. Bach day' He will so guide us as_to make the way of life radlant with His pres- ence, and at length when we shall see him manifest as He is we shall be transformed into His likeness in the spiritual life. The musical part of the service was admirably rendered by the choir with the offertory solo, Christ Triumphant (Shelley) given by Miss Mary Rogers, who interpreted the selection in an artistic way. After tho sermon, three new mem- bers were received into the church. The pulpit was attractively decorated with Easter lilies and other potted plants. At Central Baptist. At the Central Baptist church the, morning service was made particular- ly significant by the baptism and re- ception of new members, Nine were baptised by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum, and the right hand of church fellowship was extended to 22 who have recently come into church membership. The special music for the service included two anthems and the cantata, The Resurrection (Bul- lard), all rendered with notably fine effect by the quartette. In the evening service, the pastor gave an illustrated address called The! Footsteps of Jesus, which contained an interesting and instructive series of views in the Holy Land. Mrs. Grace Aldrich Crowell was heard in fine voice in the soprano solos, The Re- deemer Liveth (Manney), and two anthems were given by the quartette. The pulpit decorations were in East- er lilies which had been furnished by the classes in the Sunday school and which were sent, after the service to various sick or ‘shut-in members of the congregation as designated by the class. At Trinity Methodist, A strongly convincing sermon on The Christian Hope was delivered by Frederick W. Coleman at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church on Baster Sunday morning. The floral decora- tions of lilies and daffodils which were attractively arranged included a large floral cross in front of the pulpit. A special number was_a violin solo, ex- cently rendered by Frank Benson, ac- companied by the church orgenist, Walde S. Newbury. The pastor took as his text Job 14.14, “If a_man dle, shall he live again?’ Rev, Mr. Coleman said: “This is the great question of the! ages. There is a clever saying, that nothing new has been said in favor of immortality since Plato nor against it since Epicurus. “People often ask for an absolute may be transformed but they are nev- er destroyed. In view of this it seems incredible that man with all his powers and potentlalities should per- ish. The reason and instincts of man, whether civilized or uncivilized have always dominated his doubts and en- abled him to know, somehow, that he is immortal. Our Christian hope is-based upon the fact of Christ's Resurrection. “Be- cause I live ye shall live also” “This is not merely a_ belief based upon a revelation given to us in his- tory, although the fact of _Christ's resurrection is as well attested by competent witnesses as any event of history, but the believing disciple of today feels and knows himself to_be in communication with the living Sa- viour in the eternal world. This ex- perience enables him to say, 1 know whom I have believed.”” At Park Church, There were large congregations at both services on Haster Sunday _at Park_Congregational church. Palms and Baster lilies were used for decor- ations, and there was some specially fine Easter music. Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe's sermon was from St. John's 10.27.28, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know' them, and they follow me; and 1 give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” It is Easter that gives man a fu- ture. The gift of the risen Lord is eternal life. The Christ is not a mili- tary leader and He here leads his questioners away from that idea to his spiritual mission. Study the Gospel of St. John to find who it is makes this offer of eternal life and these three promises. Following the morning service a special service for the Sunday school and guests from the church was held in the Sunday School room and con- ducted by the superintendent, Weston T¥Pullen, 216 being present, = An ad- dress was given by Secretary Bdwin Hill of the Y. M. C. A. A duet by Messrs. Eben Learned and E. B. Sea- mans was also finely rendered. Be- sides the alio solo and the anthems giveu at the morning service there was a musical programme at the vesper service including a soprano solo, tenor and bass duet, violin selection by Mrs. Jessie Hatch Symonds of Salem, Mass., and two anthems, one with violin ob- ligato, all of which, with the several organ selections, gave artistic musical expression to the joyous spirit of Easter. At First Baptist. - At the First Baptist church Easter morning the pastor, Rev. G. H. Strouse, spoke on Easter's Glad Mes. sage, taking his text from Romans 6: 5. "Rev. Mr. Strouse spoke on the various causes for the increasing joy and gladness on Easter as thé cen- turies grow in number. On that first Easter morning, he said, Jesus Christ rose from the dead, No myth or legend could have produced an Kaster day. Every Lord's day is a reminder of the greatest even in history. Other causes for the Easter joy and happiness as given by Rev. Mr. Strouse are because Easter is a beautiful symbol, a tre- mendous fact, and a holy Incentive. This life in Whica we now walk is preparatory to the life in the next world. Then the soul will have a per- fect body. Science can do wonders, but God can do greater wonders. In concluding, Reyv. Mr. Strouse said: “Hail risen Christ. We worship Thee on this glad Easter day. Shine on in all Thy wondrous beauty and power and chase away the darkness of warfare and sin.” At the evening service the cantata The Gospel of Haster was commend- ably rendered before a large sized con- gregation. Those who took part in_the cantata were as follows: Tenors, Ste- phen E. Peckhat and Harry Howard; sopranos, Mrs. Charles Plerce and Mrs. Louis .A.” Wheeler; altos, Mrs. Charles Burke and Mrs, Herbert Willey; bari- tones, Samuel Gabrielson and William 8. Case. At Mt. Calvary Baptist. At Mt. Calvary Baptist church the pastor, Rev. J. H. Dennis, preached from the text He drove them out of the garden and placed a flaming sword at the gaté to keep the way of the tree of life. After the sermon, eight children were prayed for, Mr. and Mrs. William - Mallison, Mr. and Mrs. Am- brose Wilson and Mr. and Mrs, H. D. McKright standing for the children. There was a Sunday school concert at the evening service which was largely attended and at which the sh- perintendent, Deacon J. W. Williams, presented the bulletin of records. At Christ Church. The joyous message of Easter was given at the morning service at Christ Episcopal church in the inspiring ser- mon Dy the rector. Rev. R. R. Graham, from the text Who hath banished death and brought light and immortal- ity to life throush the gospel. The music for the service was by the vest- ed boys' choir under Choir Director William 'F. Habekotte and was ren- dered with’ devotional spirit evident in their well trained voices. Easter lilies in profusion were used in th edecorations of the altar, and Easter lilies, tulips, daffodils and other graceful blooms with a background of palms were grouped at the front of the sanctuary, while the baptismal font and the memorial windows were each beautifully decorated. The flowers used in the decorations were distribut- ed after the services to members of the parish designated by the ladies of the visiting committee. In the afternoon there was a festival service for the Sunday school, when the singing was led by the boys' and the girls’ choirs. A brief address was made by the rector upon the subject of Missions, and the collection was as usual taken for missions. Four mem- bers of the girls’ choir who had been perfect in attendance for two years were presented silver crosses. These were Lillian Beckman, Louise Beetham, Ethel Branche and Florence Buckley, At St. Patrick’s Churoh. Doubly significant was the service at St. Patrick’s Sunday, marking not only. the. festival of thé Resurrection, but the opening of the forty hours’ devo- tlon, instituted, as the rector, Rev. J. H. Broderick, explained, in Milan in the sixteenth’ century, in commemora- tion of the period during which the body of the Saviour remained in_the sepulchre. The sermon was by Rev, Father Hilary Waish, of the Order of Passionists, from Loston, whose theme was the Three Great Mysteries of God's Love for Man, 1. e, the incarna- tlon, during which Christ taught those holy doctrines of truth in which He was man's evample, instructor _and model, the mystery ‘of the atonement, in_which Christ pleaded man's cause ‘before His heavenly Father, and, losing it through man’s sverwhelming sinful- ness, Himeelf suffered the penajty for man’s evil-doing, and finally the won- derful_mystery of the holy eucharist, in which, silent, humbled, Christ gives His own' flesh and blood for man's strength, life and salvation. “He that does not eat of my flesh and drink of My blood shall have no eternal life in The eermon Was a most powerful and convincing plea for gratitude from man to God for the greatest of all sifts, the holy eucharist. In the two other mysteries, the Saviour had at demonstration of that which by the very nature of the case is undemon- strable. In answer to this question we may say we have a great hope, and to the Christian bellever this hope brings confidence that his expectations cannot fail. Many things in life are incapable of demonstration and _vet their probability is so great that doubt vields to, faith and certainty. “As we interrogate nature the signs of decay and death seem todominate life—but looking more closely we ob- serve the well known law of the con- servation of energy.. Life and power times somer measure of glory; in this He humbles Himself to Yecoms the in- feiror of a creature. In ‘wondrous .gift lies- the sécret of the turni to the Romgn Catholic church of ose thousands who seek the heavenly food which Christ by His own words pro- vided; who tire of empty. preaching, who demand that spiritual food which alone ean give life to the soul. In accord with the Easter joyousness the church altars were adorned with calla and ascension_lilies and roses, there ‘were graceful palms In the sanc- tuary, mauve and white azaleas and violets at the altar of the blessed vir- gin and at St Joseph's altar. The paschal candle, blessed on Saturday, stood at the gospel side of the ma altar, typical of the light that shone among the Gentilcs. Millard's mass was sung with spirit and tunefulness by the choir, directed by Organist F. L. Farrell, solo opportunities being well improved by Mrs. F. L Farrell, Miss Loretta_Bellefleur, Roderick F. Sull van, John Sullivan and William Good- fellow. The choruses were strong and even. Baker's stringed orchestra of elght players added much to the pleas- ing effect of the music. In_the solemn high mass Rev. Myles P. Galvin was celebrant, Rev. J. H. Broderick deacon and Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly sub-deacon. Father Grumbly was crozier-bearer also in the solemn procession of the forty hours, when the acolytes and little white-frocked girls from the Sunday school showed, as usual, how much the Catholic church is indebted to the training and_direc- tion of the Sisters of Mercy for the seriousness, decorum and reverence of tho children during mass. In the processisn the canopy above the sacred host was borne by Thaddeus Leahy. Thomas Francis Shea, Robert J. Mahoney and Edward J. McKay. The devotion continues today and will close with the solemn high mass Tuesday morning, the masses today and tomorrow being at 530, 7 and 8 o'clock, visits to the church being made at all times during the forty hours' period by the devout parishioners. The Easter musical programme &iv- en by the junior choir at the children’s mass at 9 o'clock, under direction of Mies Ruth Jordan, organist, followed this order: Christ, the Lord, is Risen Today, Elvey Today He's Risen, Luil Andante for violin, Shubert I Met the Good Shepherd, Lul Welcome, Happy Morning, Calkin Strike the Harps of Gold, Thorne Soprano solo. Coronation March, BARN AND THREE AUTOMOBILES BURNED. Meyerbeer e in Barn of George W. Car- roll on Crescent Street. Fierce Fire that made practically total los es of three automobiles and badly dam aged the frame barn of George W. Carroll on Crescent street broke out there on_Saturday afternoon about 2.30 o'clock from an unknown cause and gave the firemen a stiff fight of about an hour before the recall was sounded. James H. Craney, chauffeur, and Cal- vin Frink, coachman, for Mr. Carroll, were in an upper room of the barn and when one of them went downstairs he found the room where the autcmnobiles a mass of flames. A telephone call for the fire depart- ment was sent in from the Carroll house, but was sent to Chief Stanton’s house in the first place. The cazller was given the central station number and the autochemical and Chief Stan- ton responded from there. As soon as the chief arrived he had a bell alarm sent in from box 38, at the corner of Broad street and McKinley avenue. Five streams of water were put on the fire, two of them coming from the steamer, which was located at a hy- drant on Broadway, where the 50 pound pressure was raised to about double that when the steamer got to work, through two lines of about 400 feet each. Mr. Craney had his hand badly cut in smashing through the glass in a doorway to get in where the automo- biles_were, and two of the machines, all ablaze, were rolled out of the barn by the firemen. An Oldsmobile of 90 horse power was jacked up oz the barn floor and could not be moved, but & Buick roadster and an Oldsmobile limousine were Tolled out while they were still burning. The low, it is estimated, will be about $8,0v). The cars were covered by insurance, but the barn was only partially insured. Snow on the roofs of adjoining prop- erty undoubtedly prevented the fire from spreading. Mrs. Carroll and the Misses Osgood thoughtfully provided hot coffee for the men at work on the fire. 30TH ANNUAL BANQUET. Rho ‘Alpha Mu Successfully Observed Yearly Event at Wauregan House.
