pr, Tyng's Successor.


 Explainfng to the Holy Trinity COngre-
 gattOn His Views of Preachdr's Duty. The successor of the Rev. Dr. Stephen + Tyng jr., the Rev. pr. Wilbur F. Watkins, preached Sunday to his new congregation from that passage of the Acts which relates how Philip, by divine authority, taught Christ to an Egyptian noble in the desert. Rev. Dr. Watkins will be recollected by many in this city as, some years ago, the pastor of the First Methodist church here and an elo- quent young preacher, and as leaving the Methodist ministry for the Episcopal church while stationed here. The New York Sun says of his Sunday service:
 'sThis text D said the preacher, Suggests certain reflections concerning my conception of true ministry, which it is proper I should state in this my first sermon to you. I be- lieve that it is the minister's duty with di- vine authority to disseminate the word of God. knowledge of the Bible is much needed, for ignorance thereof is the rank soil in which all isns flourish. Yet have not most of you spent more time this morning over the Sunday newspapers than over your Bibles? The minister should lead his con gregation to the Bible, so that none-shan ask, as the Ethiopian nobleman asked Philip, Who is Jesus?' -..,. -.-
 tsI shall present to you, not the JeSus of the schools, but Jesus the Saviour, revealed by the Bible, as food for your souls. l will not offer you the stones of dogma, the husks of philosophy, or the confectionery of gush. I will not allow rubric or ceremony to stand between you and the light of the gospel l bring no new teachings. Feeling the respon- sibility of my position, simply point to the Lamb of God. lift up the banner of the personal Christ, the blood-empurpled banner of the cross, which my honored predecessor has borne so nobly in storm and calm. Ral- | ly around it, though it is upheld by another l bearer"
 Dr. Watkins said there was good deal of dull preaching, but that this, perhaps, was because there was 8 good deal of dull hear ing Earnest looks," he continu ed, 'are a stimulus to every public speaker. May so preach and you so listen that we notn may find acceptance before God"
 The Rev Dr. Watkins is a fine looking man. and speaks in adirect, simple way, with few gestures His voice is sonorous and his enunciation is very distinct. After service the Sun reporter overheard many of the congregation expressing their appreciation of the sermon and of the preacher. Dr. Tyng assisted in the services of the morning.
 Burned to the Ground.
 small dwelling house situated near the old Baptist church, in Groton, and belonging to Mir. Robert A. Morgan, took fire yesterday morning from defective hue and was burn ed to the ground. There was no insurance on the building.

J., who agree to build an iron girder bridge of one continu- ous span, with carrying capacity of sixty tons, for $1, 75O. This includes the sub and superstructure, fences and approaches.

An Unknown Man FrightfulIy MangIed.
 Yesterday noon at Waterbury the engineer of the train on the New York and New En- gland road for Hartford discovered 8 man walking on the track just ahead of the en- zine. The engineer sounded the whistle, but the man paid no attention to it. The air brakes were applied, but the man was struck. His left leg, from the knee down, was crushed into shapelessness, his left arm was frightfully mangled and almost torn from the body, his skull was crushed in two places whilst other minor cuts and contusions bore witness to the awful experience just passed through. The arteries of the injured limbs were speedily corded to check the hemor- rhage, andssan attempt was made to administer stimulants. He died at about o'clock No- body knew him, but he had been around town looking for work. He was between 35 and 40 years of age, of medium height and of muscular build he was dressed in dark woolen suit and nearly new light boots. He had black hair and black moustache. He had $1.15 on his person.

A Sad Case.

Mrs. Mary Porter, wife of MT. G. s. Por- ter, of Brookfeld, and mother of Mrs. Charles E. Wilmot, died Saturday afternoon at the residence of her son-in-law in this city. She was taken down about three weeks ago by an attack of bleeding at the nose, which lasted several hours, and had similar attacks subsequently, at intervals of a few days apart. The best medical skill proved un- availing to ch eek these hemorrhages, until the afflicted lady had literally bled to death. She lost such quantity of blood that for the last day or two of her illness she became too weak to swallow. She had been subject to these nasal hemorrhages since she was girl, the first one having succeeded an illness from scarlet fever. She was 69 years of age and was lady of most estimable qualities.- Bridgeport Fd7maer.
