A Detroiter who was in collision on
an eastern road two or three weeks ago
says he was sitting just back of farmer
and his wife. The train was running so
fast that the couple were nervous, and by
and by the woman turned about and in
quired:
"NIister do you think there is any dan

"No, ma'am, not in the least" he re-
piled.
Five minutes later, the speed having
perhaps increased little, the woman
again turned with:
Mister, where are you from p
Detroit, ma'am.'
"And there's no DANGER
"None whatever"
Ten seconds later came a grand crash,
and the coach reared up and fell over.
As it went, with everybody shouting and
screaming, the voice of the woman was
heard above everything, crying;

Two New Excursion Cars.

Two new open street cars have reached this

were sent back to New York and reshipped
to this city by way of the New York and New

The popularity of the open cars was forci-

Echoes From the North Haven QuartO-
Centennial.


NORTH HAVEN, July 27.-The residences of
First Selectman R. T. Linsley, Mrs. Harvey
Leete and Joseph Galebaree were entered by
burglars during the anniversary exercises In
North Haven last Friday. At Mrs. Leete's
they carried away gold watch and chain, q
present from her father, and about $40 in
money. Nothing of any value was taken
from the other places. Their three dwellings
are within hundred rods of each other. No
trace of the offenders has been found.
Not the least interesting feature of the oc-
casion here last Friday was the gathering of
the old state militia veterans, of which scanty
mention appears to have been made.
There were fourteen of these aged citizens
present, and 1t was their FIRST reunion since
their disbanding long before the war. Some
of them were too infirm to join in the street
parade, but it was observed that when their
old "Tenth regiment state colors" were
brought out and shown them for the first
time in thirty-fve years, their eyes moistened
and the old fellows gathered around 1t with
all the enthusiasm of children. Some Of
them remembered the occasion on which 1t
was last used, at a general training in old
Guilford. These colors are deposited in the
Bradley library for safe keeping.
The music Of the East Haven Oornet band
on that day deserves special mention. It was
the opinion freely expressed by all and voiced
by General E. d. s. Goodyear in his remarks
In the hall, that it was the easiest music to
which the ex-soldiers had marched since
their good bye to the old drum corps of the
army.
A feature arranged for the meeting in the
tent, which it was intended should be made
impressive on the children present was, on
omitted, though it was privately carried out
afterwards. This was the public sealing of
the roll called on that occasion, to which
every soldier arose and saluted as be answer
ed to it, and its delivery sealed to Town
Clerk L. 2. futile with instructions that It
remain In his or his successors custody un-
opened until July 25, 1915, at which time it
publicly be called again.

The services held in the Church of the
Messiah yesterday were the last until next
September. In the morning Mr.. Squires
preached to large congregation. The sub.
ject of tho discourse 1 was "Mortality Swal-
lowed up In Life." and the hearers listened
to an able and interesting address. To-mor-
row the pastor and his family will leave for
their much-needed vacation and rest. They
will take with them the best wishes of their
parishioners for an enjoyable time during the
sultrY month of August.
CHURCH OF TIE AscENsIoN.
The closing services were also held yester-
day in the Church of the Ascension for the
summer. The. choir boys are to start to-
morrow on their novel and much.anticipated
vacation. They have pretty military suit
of dark blue, with red and gold braid. and
caps with the nickel letters A.C.L. on them.
They met Saturday night for their last drill
and marched around to pay their respects to
the rector, Rev. Mr.. Watkins, who has re-

but has recovered sufficiently to be brought
home. He expressed his regrets to the COM
mittee who waited upon him that he could
not accompany them as had been previously
expected, but he wished them much pleasure
on their trip. The boys, numbering twenty
five, will go for two weeks camping
at Bantam lake in Litchfie1d and then the
remainder Of the month will be spent in
travelling about this state and Massachusetts.
They will sing in the prominent Episcopal
churches. Mr.. w. d. Miner, the organist,
will accompany them and have charge of
them. He, with two men, will leave to-day
to 60 up and build the camp at the lake, TAX
ing with them all the luggage. Mr.. Miner
will play the organ whenever they sing in
any Of the churches. The boys will also
have photographer and medical man with
them.
I The church has contributed a portion for the
expense Of the trip, and the balance has been
made up by the boys themselves In giving
entertainments and in other ways. 1t was
thought that in some such way as this that
the choir could be kept up in It's present con-
dition of excellence, better than any other.
So that next September, when the churcn
opens again, they will not be rusty.
