Conductor Whitmarsh &nd Motor- man Jencks, the crew of the-trolley ex- press, which left Westerly at 6.50 o'clock, a few minutes ahead of the regular car, noticed a dark object part- ly on the rails and between the rails and the station platform as they ap- proached the Mystic road crossing. The motorman applied his brakes, but the distance was too short, as the car struck the object and pushed it along about two feet. On investigation the trolley crew found the body of Mr. Main lying between the rail and plat- form. “He was lying with his feet towards the rear end of the car and the body from shoulder to thigh almost on the rail, with the head and limbs in the space between the rail and the station platform. The trolley crew placed the man in the trolley express and rushed to this city, where the Backus hospital ambu- lance was met at the Preston bridge. He was removed to the hospital and died one hour later. It is said he was intoxicated. On the way to this city the man was conscious and talked with the conductor, but he was unconscious when he arrived at the Backus hos- ital. Pt was found that his injuries con- sisted of a small cut over the left eye, many abrasions and contusions of the right side, while the left side was crushed in'and nearly all the ribs-were broken on the left side. The man was probably intoxicated and fell between the platform and the tracks. He dled from the effects of the crushed chest, sustained when he was thrust against the station plat- form. Mr, Main was 54 years of age and was born in North Stonington, the son of Dudley and Amie Chapman Main. He had been working this winter on the farm of Noyes Palmer in North Stoningtcn. He leaves a relative, Ed- gar Main, in North Stonington. SURPRISE NIGHT AT THE ELKS' HOME. Attractive Entertainment Programme and Fine Menu Provided an Enjoy- able Evening.

ENGINEER SPALDING A VISITOR IN NORWICH. Was Running on Freight Train That Figured in Milford Wreck. Waldo Spalding, formerly of this city, son of Charles Spalding of Penob- scot street, now an engineer on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was in town over Sunday vis- iting relatives. He was engineer on the frefeht train that was on the track outside of the wreck at Milford. Mr. Spalding stated that one of the en- gines exploded, went through his train about seven cars from the engine, and then went down an.embankment. The brakeman on one of the trains was thrown across the track in front of the freight train by the force of the col- lision, but succeeded in getting off be- fore the train overtook him. Mr. Spalding had some very inter- esting pictures taken at the time of the ‘wreck. This is the second close call that he has had in the last two months. At the time of the storm, when the wires were down, the engineers were run- ning on a 30-mile schedule. At Wood- mont Mr. Spalding’s train was stopped at a danger signal and was run inte from behind. The steel cars which were in use at the time saved this from being a serious accident. PHILATHEA'S FEBRUARY MEETING Members Will Sew for Red Cross— Social Followed Moeting.

REV. ARTHUR VARLEY AT MASS MEETING. Taftville Pastor Gave Stirring Talk at Sunday Afternoon Y. M. C. A. Service. At a well attended meeting held in one of the Thayer building stores, on Sunday afternoon, conducted under the zuspices of the Y. M. C. A, Rev. Arthur Varley, pastor of the Taft- ville Congregational church was the speaker. Swahn’s orchestra furnish- ed music and Messrs. Swahn and Adams rendered a cornet duet. Rev. Mr. Varley took his text from 11 Samuel 22.21; “The Lord reward- ed me according to my righteousness.” According to the cleanliness of _my bands hath. He recompensed ‘me. Rev. Mr. Varley dwelt on certain thoughts concerning the life of David and_his righteousness. And further on_Rev. Mr. Varley sald that in this natural world every cause has an _effect. When we find certain effects we find certain causes and there is no other method of proceedure. Taking for example the combination of water, hydrogen and oxyegen. It is found the same everywhere and so in other things. animal life, flower life and plant life. So in this natural world about is the fixed principle of cause and effect cannot be broken. Scientists take us back millions of years and - some- where they hdve to assume things. William Jennings Bryan has said, “Behind evervthing I assume God great principle of cause and mtmtm created these things. ‘When this great principle of cause and effect can not he changed it is the Almighty be- hind it. When we set immoral causes we will reap immoral effects. “What so ever ve soeth so shall ye reap.” - We can’t bound heaven or hell as we_can America, England or any other coun- try. They are internal conditions. Often men full of ambition fall by the wayslde a failure in life. Often times | you hear men fling remarks about claiming the failure of the church. There is one thing men we must keep in mind, and that is so far as man himself is concerned, he was made to be godly through the great struggles of life. Man was made to win out and if he puts himself on the right side, God sets in motion the good. BREAKING RELATIONS ¥ WITH AN EMPIRE Was Topic of Sunday Evening Service at Central Baptist Church. Breaking Relations With an Empire was the topic upon which Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., spoke at the Sunday evening service in the Central Baptist church. Features of the service were the two excellently rendered vocal se- lections by Al Craig Taylor. His solos were Into the Gates of the Temple and Calvary. Taking his text from II Co, Rev. Dr. Slocum said: There has been considerable anxiety in our country of late lest diplomatic relations should be broken between our government and that of Germany. The possibility of such a rupture will be more or less imminent until the war now going on shall be finished. How- ever important this question, there is 6: 17, one which is considerably more im- portant, namely, breaking relations with sin. This is a call to break relations with the empire of evil. To individuals and to nations this call has come again and again. ‘Abraham heard that call and he went out not knowing whither he went, but going in answer t0 the voice of God. What kind of a separation is this to be? Not that of the ascetic. In the prayer of Jesus He was particular to pray that the disciples might not be taken out of the world, but that they might be kept from the evil one. Not the separation of the Pharisee who re- garded himself holier than others and Who depended upon formality and con- ventionality for bis religion. But the separation of those who have convic- tions as to right and wrong and who are determined that they will not com- promise themselves or their principles by any deliberate association with wrong. It ought to be a reasonable rule that we should avoid the things about which there is considerable question. Paul said: “All things are lawful but all things are not expedient.” There are some things Which though comparatively innocent do not conduce to active Christian work or to the un- folding of Christian character. There are places and people and as- sociates that dull our Christian life. There are things which your own con- sclence condemns. There are things which the conscience of worldly people condemns in Christians. There are places where you cannot go and take Christ with you. There are people whose company you cannot keep and remain a Christian. There are situa- tions where it is difficult to bear your testimony for Christ. Avold these, they are dangerous. The call of the text is for an out- and-out decision and action. ~Break relations with the old life, the old ideals and come out on God's side. Our religious life is not positive emough these days. TWe are too fond of going with the multitude. Come out from among them. Let,us have some conviction. Let us be willing to sacrifice anything—every- thing in order that we may accomplish the will of Christ. Broke Arm Putting on Belt. Joe Peler of Yantic street, who is employed at the H. B. Porter & Son woodworking plant at the Falls, broke one of his arms recently while trying to throw a belt on a moving pulley. As Longfellow’s birthday was yes- terday, Feb. 27th, the literary classes will note the anniversary today. Spiritual Dangers of of Differ- ing Faiths Wedding jained by Rev. Peter J. Cuny — Catholic Church’s Teaching. “The ideals of the Catholic church are Christ’s ideals,” sald the Rev. Pe- ter J. Cuny at St. Patrick’s church on Sunday, continuing his series of ser- mons on Marriaze. The truths taught by the church today are essentiaily those taught by Christ nineteen hun- dred years ago. ~When the Saviour dignified marriage and el 5 it to the plane of a sacrament, undoubted- ly He intended to sanction the union of those who were His followers—a Christian man and a Christian wo- man. Perpetuating Christ's ideals, the Catholic church discourages between a man and woman Of OPPOS- ing beliefs. For that matter, this opinion is held by ministers of other denominations; they, too, realze the disadvantage of what is generally re- ferred to as a mixed marriage. The Catholic church takes a detérm- ined stand in this matter for four principal reasons. Such a marriage spolls the unity between husband and wife which should be akin to _that union existing between Christ and His Church. * It is as tholigh belief should be joined to unbelief, ror;” for there can no real har- mony in such union. Secondly, the mixed marriage tends to weaken the faith of the Roman Catholic who is a party to it; per- haps ending in carelessness or com- plete indifference to all religious ob- ligations. Again. the divine object of matri- mony is to educate souls for ' the Kingbam of Heaven. Although the Catholic church absolutely refuses to countenance marriage between a Catholic man or woman and one of op- posite faith unless a promise has been signed to bring up the children of such a union in_the Catholic church, after the first ardor of love cools, with the birth ©f the first child, there is apt to be friction over the baptism of the infant; and in some cases this disagreement ends in the child’s not being baptized at all. Fourth, each Catholic party to a mixed marriage solemnly promises to s0 live af to eet a good example to his or her partner of an opposite faith. This promise. the preacher sald. he feared was often forgotten. The best example is set. mot by ~preaching, which may well be restricted to the truth to er- | pulpit, and even there loses its full ef- fect if too long drawn out, but by liv- ing up to the principles of the Cath- olic church. Tnstances were cited to prove the truth of the fact that it is not talking, but living Catholicity which has won non-believing consorts to_a knowledge of the true faith. In this matter, as in all others pre- vention is better than cure. Catho- lics should not begin an intimacy like- Iy to eventuate in an attachment Jeading to marriage, which cremony the church countenances only because otherwise the parties seeking marriage if refused consent by the pastor of the Catholic party, might be led to seek to contract marriage outside the church, in a manner which, from a tholic standpoint, ranks no higher than adultery. This evil of mixed marriages is be- ing combatted In every parish, and with all the emphasis which the Cath- olic church can lend to its prohibi- tions; and Rev. Father Cuny related a number of striking instances which had come within his persinal experi- ence of the spiritual danger which the Catholic risks who enters such a marriage, undeterred by the warnings, advice and admonitions of his church ang his pastor. OBITUARY. Isaac E. Gates. Announcement has been received by local friends of the death of Isaac E. Gates Friday, Feb. 25, at Hotel Majestic, New York city, where he had made his home for the past 16 years. Mr. Gates was born in Preston Jan. 2, 1833, He was the youngest of the cight children of Cyrus and Patty Hewitt Gates, all of whom have now passed away. He fitted for college at Connecticut Literary institution, Suf- field. He was graduated from Colzate university and Colgate Theological seminary in Hamilton. N. Y. He then entered ‘the Baptist ministry, having a pastorate in Milwaukee, Wis. A few years later, about 1869, a combination of circumstances led him to take up temporarily, as he then intended, the work of private secretary for his brother-in-law, Collis P. Huntington, of New York, the famous projector and builder of railroads. What was taken up as a temporary business grew into permanence and Mr. Gates not only became the right hand man of Mr. Huntington but himself held various offices in railroad corporations. Although Mr. Gates relinquished the pulpit, for which he had prepared him- self, he never lost his interest in ree ligious and philanthropic work. and did much good in unostentatious ways. He was strongly attached to his native town and early friends and was never happier than when revisiting the scenes of his boyhood and mingling with the companions of his youth. Mr. Gates is survived by his wife, Ellen M. H. Gates, well known to the reading public as a poetical contribu- tor to magazine literature, and one child, Mrs. Archer M. Huntington, of New York. He also leaves a number of nephews and nieces, some of whom reside in New /London county. One of these, Mrs. Thomas P. Norman, of North Stonington, went to New York Saturday to attend the funeral ser- vices, which were held Sunday after- noon in the Church of the Intercession, Broadway and 155th street. Mrs. Hannah B. Dixon. (Contributed.) Mrs. Hannah B. Dixon, one of the oldest residents of Voluntown, dred at the home of her son, James H. Dixon, on Thursday morning, Feb. 17. Mrs. Dixon had been in her usual health until a few days previous, when she suffered a paralytic shock which ter- minated in_her death. Hannah Burdick Kennedy was born in Voluntown Oct. 21, 1831, the daugh- ter of Joseph and Sarah Burdick Ken- nedy, she being one of five children. She married on Oct. 16, 1849, Robert H. Dixon of Sterling. For a brief time after their marriage they resided at Wakefield, R. L, but later moved to Voluntown, where Mr. Dixon was a manufacturer and actively engaged in the lumber business. From their union five children were born, only two of whom are living, James H. Dixon of Voluntown and Mrs. Anne Foley of Oneco. Mr. Dixon dled several years ago. Although her years were more than three score and ten, she retained her bright, keen intellect and kept well informed on current events. She was an interesting conversationalist, which ‘won for her many friends. About elght years ago Mrs. Dixon met with an accident when she sus- tained a broken leg, with the result that it deprived her from getting about in her home. She bore her affliction with fortitude and had always a cheer- ful smile and pleasant word for all.

Seeing an_ advertiSement for Vinol I pur- chased a bottle, and found it to be exactly what I needed. It has mot only bemefited my nerves, but built me up both mentally and -physically, and I want to recommend it to anyone suffering as I did.

H KIDNEY MISERY MEANS A WEAKENED SYSTEM| Lee & Osgood, the popular ! have established &_new record fale,of medicine, They say they dost believe any medicine ought to for unleess it does the user some good,| and they have adopted the plan of sell. ing Solvax, the standard kidney rem: edy, “under "a_positive guarantes of | Qqui¢k relief from all kidney or bladder misery, or money back without a ques: tion. " This speaks eloquently for the virtues of the remedy that already has created such a widespread demand in| Norwich. Hundreds of people in every walk of life have been relieved of the agonles attendant on weak, disarranged or clogged-up kidneys and bladder by, this remarkable remedy. It is not just merely a kidney treatment, it is a med- icine that puts the entire pain-racked body into normal condition and gives vigorous health after the many painful| disorders caused directly or indirectly| by sick kidneys. A change for the bet-| ter will be seen after the first few doses| of Solvax and its continued use will soon tone up the entire system of im-| proverly working organs and give you| the desire to live and enjoy life to its| fullest. Solvax is considered the best kidney remedy on the market today because it aims fo cure by striking directly at the cause of all the trouble. The many pains and aches caused by improperly working kidneys cannot be 1y _cured unless the cause Solvax is sold under a positive guar. antee to refund the money if it does not cure. This is the strongest proof that can be offered as to the merit of the medicine. ~You are cheating_yourself out of your slice of life if you don't give Solvax a chance. DOESYOUR WATCH TELL THE TRUTH?
