FATHER JUDGE'S AUTOMOBILE CRASHED INTO WALL Rev. Mathew J. Judge, diocesan di- rector of Catholic charities, and Miss Marguerite T. Boylan, exccutive secre- tary, both of Hartford, narrowly escap- ed serfous injury at neon Saturday on Broad street, mear Morgan Street in New Lendon when the Reo ¢ar in which they were driving was smashed in a ‘head-on collision against a stone wall along the roadside. The accident, it 1s charged, resulted from action of Mit- chell Pawlicki of Chesterfield, who was driving a Secripps-Booth car along Broad street in the same direction as Father Judge's car was moving. Paw- licki wished to pass Father Judge's car and cut odt to the left and speeded up his machine. To avoid a collision of the two cars Father Judge furned quickly to the right and both cars left the highway and ran up against a stone wall along the road- side. The hoods of both cars crashed against the stone wall and flattened out. Neither Father Judge nor Miss Boylan ‘were thrown out of their machine and Pawlicki and an unnamed man who was riding in the Secripps-Booth car also es- caped injury. Both of the cars were hopelessly crumpled, however, and had to be taken to garages. o FUNERALS. William A, Ziegelmayer. Saturday -morning at 8.30 the neral of William A.

Noyes, held at his home, No. 2 Broadway, at 2.30 o' clock. It was a service which brought together banking men and other asso- clates in public affairs, family friends and neighbors, each with a sense of per- sonal loss—a éonviction to which many gave expression that scafceély another death in Mystic could leave such a wide void in the life and general interests of the town. The assemblage filled every room of the substantial New England homestead—all present mourning truly the early ending of a useful and fruit- ful life, To this pérvading sorrow reference was made by Rev. Jerome Greer, pas- tor of the Methodist Episcopal church, who conducted the simple services, so well in aceord with the quiét dignity and distaste” for ostentation of Mr. Noyes' career. Following his reading” of the Seriptures Rev.. Mr. Greer pronounced a brief . culogy, speaking of Mr. Noyes' worthy life in his native village, his twenty years of devoted service in the local bank, his deep love or nature and life in the open, his joy in the cultiva- tion of his flowers and garden, his kind- ly and sympathetic ways and the in- spiration which a career like his, honest and purposeful and of high ideals, must prove to every one of the great number Who hadgcome to know him through his years s well spent. In conclusion, the clergyman read a poem by Whittier embodying the comfort of fellowship which even those in deep bereavement must feel'at such an hour of sorrow— the trust in the promise of immortality, sustaining and heartening those nearest and dearest, and the friends burdened with the sense of loss and parting. A sincere prayer conciuded thé services. Among those in attendance were tha members of the Mystic Hook & Ladder Company—and HRev. Mr. Greer made special reference to these associates of Mf. Ncyes, in their altruistic aims to serve their villige and town, and to protect lives and property. A pall of choice flowers covered the casket and there were beautiful forms of varying design. Burial was in the family plot in Elm Gr?‘e cemetery, the bearers being Gedrge D. Jobnson, George D. Tingley and_ William McGregor—intimate friends of Mr. Noyes—also Henry B.
