UNITED SERVICES
Of Three Congregational Churches
 Last Evening.

At the un1ted meeting last night at the Church of the Redeemer Rev. Mr. Meserve of Davenport church was the first speaker and spoke on the purpose of the meeting as follows: ''These union services need no explanation, but it is proper to show what purposes we had in mind in originating them. We want to show that churches are united in sympathy, and also that we are united as Congregationalists As Con- gregational churches we have something in common. But our special purpose is to promote the efficiency of our churches in their own fields We are here that We may learn how to cultivate our fields for Jesus Christi and we can do this bet ter by union. We want to apply our knowl- edge more; we want more zeal, and we want to win outsiders by an exhibition of example, as well as of worship; we want to make this town a winter town in Gods sight. There are friends on our hearts, and we want to save them. No Christian can do all he desires, but we will do what we can. Curiosity is powerful element, and by our zeal let us bring men out of curiosity We want to promote the ques- ton among the highest and the lowest, What shall do to be savedP That's what these meetings mean, and may it please God to give us the victory"
 Rev. MT. Luckey of the Humphrey Street church next spoke. He took for his text Revelations iii, 15, 19: q know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot. Be jealous therefore and repent " "Let us all ask ourselves" he continued, ''Is that our conditions Notice also the loving warmth of the rebuke. He says, be jealous therefore, and repent One of the worst things we can do is to work our selves up to state of emotion. Zeal should be the consequence of knowl- edge. The utmost warmth is reasonable in religion. Let us not be ashamed to make new start preceded by repen- tence: and to do our best The best of us are weak and feeble in zeal, and lack of it is the prevailing evil that we must over come. These churches of ours gathered here make us to feel that no sacrifice is too great for him who gave himself for us !"
 Dr. Phillips, the pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, then called attention to the wonderful character of Nehemiah, and drew an appropriate lesson specially it. ting the occasion.

THIRTY-NINE CONFIRMED.
A Very Impressive service by Bish or
 Williams at Trinity Church.

A Very Impressive service by Bish Op
 Williams at Trinity Church.
 Confirmation was administered yester- day morning in Trinity church by Bishop Williams to thirty-nine persons, two of whom were from the college. The sermon was preached after the confirmation ser vice, instead of before it, as usual. The bishop preached on Luke xxi, 34: "Take heed to yourselve lest at anytime your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and darkness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares." He said, among other things: "It may be a question, though not important, whether our Lord was referring to the destruction of Jerusalem in these words. Still they have very deep meaning for us. If it is to the end of the world he refers, they are still more solemn We can understand about the gluttony and drunkenness, but the words, about the cares of this life are not so much noticed by us. We are still more struck by the words of the other gospels. In speaking about the Gomorrah, our Lord said They did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they were married, they were given in mar riage,' but he makes no reference to any frightful vices or crimes such as we are apt to have in mind. What is so bad about all these thingss There can be but one answer. It is the utter absorption in the things of the world, so that men are brought to an entire indifference to God. This indifference is phenomenon of the day. How true this is of the lives of so many to-day! Business and pleasure tell the whole story. The ordinary things of rise. Let us remember that there are ahigher things, and what Paul was able to say at the end of his life: T have fought the good fight; have finished my course; have kept the faith Your feet have scarcely entered that course. Beware, then, of those choking cares of the world, and keep that faith lively in your hearts.

AN ICY PAVEMENT,

A Painful Accident Happens Editor
 Butler-Fractured the Left Thigh
 The Patient at the Hospital.
 A distressing accident happened to Ed ward Butler Saturday afternoon on Pros pect street, near the Canal railroad bridge. He was walking toward Grove street and had just crossed the bridge, when he struck an incline in the pavement, which chanced to be covered with 3 film of ice, on which MT. Butler accidentally slipped and fell, striking on his left side.
 A short distance from MT. Butler was Dr. Kleeberg of the Court street temple, who heard MT. Butler fall, and immediate ly went to his assistance The doctor, with the assistance of a man who was on the other side of the street, aided MT. Butler in reaching the steps of a house near by. Among others to come soon was Dr. Munger, who obtained carriage, and the inj jured man was lifted into it and taken at his own desire to the hospit- al, where he was placed in private apart ment. He was suffering intensely and remained for some time in fainting condition. Dr. Carmalt was fortunately at the hospital and at once attended the case. His examination showed that the fall had caused fracture of the hip bone. This was set as soon possible and since then the patient has been doing as we'll as could be expected. Last evening he was no worse, though still suffering from the injury and the consequent shock to the system. He will be confined for five or six weeks.
 MT. Butler is we'll known in the field of New Haven journalism and was at one time editor of the Palladium and later editor of the Union

 A party of celebrating students made things lively on the campus Saturday night. The fun did not begin un til late hour, after the fun down town had been pretty we'll exhausted, and this new start of life did not die out until the morning hours had become pretty we'll advanced. The results were disastrous to the ground doors as we'll. These were smashed with out any discrimination, and the appear ance yesterday was quite ludicrous. The cold weather made it absolutely necessary that something be done to stop up the holes, and promiscuous array of old pa pers, rags, coats, etc was presented for The spectacle was, as it were, silent re- buke to the levity of the evening previous. Several of the destroyers were caught in the act, by members of the faculty, one with his foot through the panels of a tu- tors door. In several cases it is thought summary measures will be taken. At the Dartmouth Athletic association meeting Saturday Guy George of Meriden put the shot 36 feet IL inches, breaking the record which has stood at 36 feet. President Dwight preached in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, yesterday morning. Professor Cook delivered his fourth lec- ture in Hartford last Friday evening. He took as his subject The Religious poetry of old English Literature.

Grenadines {:

VfeHau1HeS
 A really good Grenadine is a work of art. To make a poor one is comparatively easy. The difference to the buyer is this |: The good one is safe invest ment for the money; the poor one is just so much money thrown into the gutter.
 Be on your guard when gren- adine-buying. Their very pop ularity is an incentive to fraud in the make. All sorts of ma kers are turning them out re- gardless of either quality or style.
 The only grenadines we care to keep are the reliable ones made by houses whose reputa- ton for Grenadines is century old and who will NOT make any thing but the VERY BEST. We have them in half and one inch stripes and plains, all of the purest silk.

SAD FUNERAL SERVICES.

Death ofthe only Daughter of Rev.
 w. c. Blakeman-Interred at Ever
 green Cemetery-Impressiv Tuner"
 al Services Yesterday at the Church.
 The death of Edna Marion Blakeman, the only daughter of Rev. W e. Blakeman of the St. John street church, which occurred Saturday morning, was peculiarly sad one. She was taken sick about two weeks ago with most violent attack of diphtheria. Dr. T. H. Russell was called in upon the second day after she was taken i'll and found her in almost dying condition. He was able 10 alleviate her suferings for the time being. but the advances of he1
 disease made it imperative that the opera
 tion of tracheotomy be performed. This
 done the child began to improve and up te
 Friday hope was entertained that she
 would recover, but at that time hel
 strength began to give away and Satur
 day morning she died. Previous to he1
 last illness she had been affected witt
 chronic throat trouble and it is believed
 that this complicated matters which caused
 her death. Her condition was such tha
 it was decided to bury her immediately
 and Saturday afternoon at o'clock tht funeral, which was private, took place, thu interment being in Evergreen cemetery. Funeral services in memory of the de ceased were held at St. John Street M. E
 church yesterday afternoon. Rev. Dr
 McChesney of Trinity M. E. church preached an affecting sermon from the text, "Now no chastenings for the presen seemeth to be joyous, but grievous, never theless afterward it yieldeth the peaceablt fruits of righteousness unto them that ar' l exercised thereby" The sermon as wei ! as the singing was attentively listened tt 1 by the large congregation. Elaborate mu sic was furnished by the choir. The sol by Fred Post, "One Sweetly Solemn ! Thought" was we'll rendered, as was tn I chant, "There is a reaper whose name i l death" Two Sunday school hymns 'Saf
 in the Arms of Jesus" and "T think whe1
 I read that sweet story of old" were sung Come ye disconsolate" was also beauti l fully rendered. The family pew wa | draped with white ribbons and whit tulips. A large floral piece composed o calla lilies and easter lilies was tribut from the Sunday school At the service the Sunday school occupied the main bod of the church, the class of which tn deceased was 8 member occupying tn front seats. A realizing scene of the sa' l occasion seemed to pervade the entire con gregation. Many people from West Haven where MT. Blakeman formerly preached were present in token of their love an sympathy.

Calvary Baptist Church.

At Calvary Baptist church last evening Rev. E. M. Poteat preached to large con- gregation practical sermon from the text in Matthew 25, 45: "Inasmuch as ye did it not" The pastors sermon embed jed the following: We are judged in part by our omissions, and there is certain sensitiveness regarding omissions that is a late development of character. The things that we omit to do are sometimes the best possible tests of character, as they serve to illustrate by contrast. We rarely feel that omissions are sins, but we sometimes have bangs of conscience when we neglect duty. Our Lord teaches one law, and that law is law of love. Loving hearts prove themselves to loving deeds, and to cases of this kind the judgment referred to is applied. The servant who hid his Lord s talent, at the reckoning, had the talent taken from him, and was cast into outer darkness. He was unfaithful. This king dom has no space for unproftable men. The sins of commission seem greater than the sins of omission, and in this light the penalty of the judgment referred to, seems severe because it is pronounced against the lesser offence. We should make God, not ourselves, the center of our lives.

CROWDS IN WAITING

At the Depot to Witness the First
 Trip of the '"Ghost Train.,'
 The first trip of the ''ghost train', as the new white express from Boston to New York is called, was made yesterday. This train is the regular o'clock express from New York via the New England She arrived here yesterday at 4:55, and nearly 1,500 people were at the station to inspect the new beauty during the few minutes wait. The train was made up of six cars with the New York and New Eng land lettering, and proved the most mag nifcent thing seen yet on the Consolidated road for luxurious travelling. All along the route peoples curiosity led them to congregate on bridges and wherever there was a good position for sightseeing. Among those at the New Haven station were many of the railroad officials, who viewed with expressed admiration this latest combination of mod ern railroad appliances. There are eight more of these white coaches which have the. New York, New Haven and Hartford lettering, and these will make up the train which leaves the big city this afternoon. The inside finish is sumptuOus and the whole a work of art Each car will seat about eight more passengers than the ordi- nary drawingroom coach, which is due to the absence of the smoker Lovers of of the weed may find the enjoyment in the smoking room which takes up half of the combination car. This experiment. is fitted up in the same elaborate manner and only the drawing room car passengers have access to it. The remainder of the combination car is used for baggage pur- poses.
 The color, which is now white of al- most virgin purity, will lose it's freshness, however, after few weeks of familiarity with the dust and dirt of railroad travel
