Seldom has there been larger attend
ance by mourners in the Park street Con-
gregational Church than gathered there
yesterday afternoon at the funeral service
OF the late yard master for the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad at At
lteboro/ Charles Dickens. The funeral
cortege arrived from the home of the
deceased's parents on Calais street at the
church shortly before o'clock, and
there walked behind the hearse the fol-
lowing members of the Attleboro fire
department: Chief Packard, assistant en-
gineer Sweeney, Captains Riley and Nor
ton and privates Bullock, Culver, Bowen,
White, the six latter acting as bearers,
and also privates Atwell and Gardner.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Ernest j. Wellesley, who made
very touching address referring TO the
good reputation the deceased had borne
and the many friends he mad endeared
himself to as evidenced by the large num-
ber present at the church On the casket
rested some very choice floral tributes,
including pillow from the Attleboro
fire department, a cross and pillow from
railroad employees.
A large number of Attleboro friends
were present to pay a last tribute to one
whose manly life came so suddenly and
so sadly to its close. The interment was
at Dyer's cemetery.

:. Those in q position to know, say the
wardens of Ward 8 will see some strange
faces at the election, that is to say,
strange from the fact that, though the
possessors Of the faces have voted for
years for Aldermen and Councilmen in
Ward 10, they have, since the change in

be interesting to know how materially he
vote of certain candidates for Aldermen
and Councilmen in close elections in the
