H. Reynolds’ Dead Body Where Train Had Hurled It—Wiesterly’s Soldier Vote is 80—Edward Stenhouse Has Concussion of the Brain in Fall Down Stairs. Thomas C. H. Reynolds of Mechanic street was struck by.a westbound train and probably instantly killed some time between 10.30 o'clock and mid- night Friday night as he was crossing the railroad track near the West Broad street bridge. The body was hurled between the ties and landed on the shelter beneath the bridge, where it was discovered early Saturday morn- ing by a street cleaner. The latter happened to notice a cap lying near a pool of blood on the ground, and upon looking about he discovered the man- gled body of a man hanging from the shelter roof umder the railroad bridge. Deputy Sheriff William H. Casey was notified.and he in turn s ned Dr. John K. Bucklyn of Mystic, who is acting as medical examiner for the town of Stonington during the ab- sence of Dr. Herman C. Little of Stonington borough. Dr. Bucklyn ex- amined the remains and ordered them taken to the undertaking rooms of Charles ‘H. Gavitt on West Broad street. It is supposed that Mr. Reynolds was struck by a westbound freight train, since portions of his body were picked up on this track. The train which kided him was without doubt a freight, for the last passenger train to pass threugh was the Federal ex- press for New York, which is sched- uled to leave the Westerly depot at 9.48 p. m. Mr. Reynolds, who was commonly known by his middle name, Howard, had been empleyed for many years as a moulder for ‘the C. B. Cottrell & Sons'’ company, manufacturers of printing presses. He leaves a wife and five children, who reside at the rear of 82 Mechanic street. The funeral will be held at 2 o’clock this afternoon from his‘late residence. Interment will be in River Bend ceme- tery.

It is thought that he may have suffereq severe inmternal in- jurfes, although as yet this is not known. Dr. John L, May was called to at- 1 ttnd the time later Medical Examiner H.

If no internal trouble develops, it is thought that he will recover from his injuries. 1 The members of the Fourth com- | pany, Rkode lIsland State Guard, of Westerly, camped out at Pleasant View over Saturday night and Sunday. Breakfast on Sunday was prepared by the company cooks and served in the Hdlcyon camp, the old Carpenter casino. At noon a shore dinner was served to the company in the casino.

In spite of the rainy weather during the forenoon, the life in camp was well iiked by the amateur soldiers, who were able in this way to get consid- erable experience that cannot be ob- tained at the regular weekly drills.

A, Northrop was in charge of the morning service at the Kirst Congregational church, taking for the subject of his sermon, The Saving Pawer of Enthusiasm, and as the text, Quench not the Spirit. God puts the of sacred love in longing hearts and He has kindled this ‘fire that we.may see better and live bet- ter, he said. The life and words should show at once the consciousness of His biessed presence. We can pre- vent God from saving us, shut our- selves from the” light within' because we would have it so, but we cangot prevent Him from saving others. The power of the spirit starts vigorous and propaganding life. The real question is the source of power; if the spirit is behind the words, do not decry. in cold criticism plain and impressive speaking. Our text warns us, quench Tot the spirit, and it often helps our faith to see the intensity of faith in spirit- filled men. Kollow spiritual impres- sions wherever they lead for our only hope is in yielding to these. If to us the spirit is in the usual Christian and church services they are profita- ble. Christians are to prove all things —detect the base metal in preaching and praying—hold fast the good—do not aoccept in blind faith, as in testing coin, test the spurious and decline, re- It is sinful to put out the fire. If we are to be saved we must not despisa means of grace, must add fuel by study, reading, prayer and cherishing the "spirit, by pure and holy thoughts and holy deeds.

London, Aug. 11—Today the situa- tion south of the Somme was becom- ing more stabilized. There has been no important allied advance in the lest twelve hours, and at some places a slight retirement has been neces- sary. The fighting has been desperate and of a ding-dong character, and for the moment any big advance on this front is not expected. The enemy apparently is calling up- on his reserves to help him save all material possible. At noon today the allied line was as follows, starting from the north; west of Meaulte, which is still in Ger- man hands; thence to Etinehem, Fra- merville and Lthons, which are still German; Hallu station (the Germans hold Hallu) Harvillers, I'Echelle and Armancourt, both of the latter still being German, and thence through Tilloloy Park and through the station of Roye-sur-Matz to Mareuil-Lamotte to Samson and Machemont, from which it joins the line on the Oise. Heavy Artillery Support. In the area before Vauvilliers the enemy has been supported by heavy artillery, but furtber sowthward the French First and Third armies have advanced slightly, and i this neigh- borhood the Germans do not appear to_be too well supplied with artillery. Large fires and long transport col- umns- in the my’s back areas tend to strengthen the belief that his heavy counter-attacks against the British are intended to afford him time to evacuate his stores. The allied casualties in the first two days of fighting were comparatively light, because the allies virtually ran through the German positions. But since Saturday the fighting has been of a more severe character. Lassigny Massif Struggle. Interest centers around the struggle for the Lassigny massif, which is high ground in difficult country and affords a considerable view of the surround- ing neighborhood. Its southern edge is in French hands, but a considerable advance must be registered before the allies can cross the Cuy-Noyon road. All accounts agree that the attacks of the third French army on the massif are making satisfactory progress and that an advance of from three to five miles has been made since Saturday morming. The roads for the enemy's retirement are by no means 800d and it is believed not improbable that sooner or later he will be compelled to retire to the line of Peronne, Desles and Noyon.
