THE NEW PASTOR
Addressed the Members OF Superior Lodge
and Daughters of Rebekah.

Addressed the Members of Superior Lodge
and Daughters of Rebekah.
Last evening the members of Superior
Lodge, 1. o. o. F., accompanied by Vic
toris Lodge, Daughters of Rebekah, at
tended services at the Embury Church In a
body, under the marshalship of Grand
Marshal Edwin s. Carr and Noble Grand
Mrs. Mary A. Crocker. The visit was
made upon invitation Of the former pas
tor, Rev. L. G. Horton, but, unfortunately,
owing to the sudden termination of his
pastorate, he was unable to fulfil his en-
gagement. The new pastor Of the church,
Rev. Mr.. Newlands, filed the breach in a
most acceptable manner and preached an
able sermon.
Rev. Mr.. Newlands took for his text a
portion Of the 22nd chapter, 9Th verse of
Isaiah-"Salvation will God appoint for
walls and bulwarks." In the opening DIR.
Newlands gave description OF the i'm
mense solidity of the dykes and bulwarks
OF Holland and likened them TO the bull
warks OF the soul. He said that there
were four bulwarks for the preservation of
the soul: prayer, knowledge of Gods
work, friends and associates and conser-
vative will.
In conclusion the reverend gentleman
said that with all these virtues a man was
fortified to fight temptation, and with

A Suspicious Character Gathered in BY
the Police Department.

A Suspicious Character Gathered in BY
the Police Department.
In pursuance of orders issued lately the
police department is determined to rid
the city of all suspicious characters. Sat-
urday evening word was telephoned to
the police station that a suspicious char
aoter had been hanging about the resi-
dence of Rev. Father Beland on Foundry
street, and the message further said that
the person was in that neighborhood at
that time. Officer Bagley was Immediately
sent to investigate the affair. The officer
captured the man in question and brought
him to the station. 1t was further charged
that he had been peeking into windows.
When questioned by Sergt. Louks, the
man said that he was looking for his wife
who left him about a year ago. He ac
knowledged that she had contracted no
bills In his name, but had simply left him
to shift for himself. He said that he had
heard that she was living in that neigh
borhood, and he wanted to see what kind
OF life she was leading. Sergt. Louks
told him that under the circumstances,
that the police could send him to the farm
for six months, but il he would promise to
leave the city Immediately and never re-
turn he could go. 1t needed no second in
vitation of this kind, and the last seen of
the wife detective he was heading toward
Pawtucket as fast az his legs could carry
him.

Five Reputable Witnesses to
the Welch Cycle Accident
Found Yesterday.
These People Tell an Entirely
Different Story From Any
of the Others.
NICHOLAS HESS THE EVANGELIST
A Suspicious Character Sent Out Of the City
Fusessl Of Henry Welch-Superior Lodge
Visited Embury Church-Notes.

The inquest which is to be held over
the death of Henry Welch, the victim OF
the bicycle accident, promises to be very
interesting. Already two different ver-
sions OF the affair have been given, and
now comes the third, backed up by the
testimony of five reputable witnesses. 1t
will be Temembered that young Osfieid
claimed that he was riding some little
distance behind Welch when he saw
another man crash into the deceased and
hurl him 20 the ground. Osfield further
said that he unknown cyclist disappeared
i'm the darkness.
Then came the story OF Mr.. Ponton to
ths effect hat he was the only witness to
the affair, and that he and the unknown
cyclist assisted the injured man to the
sidewalk. Now comes the most sensa-
tional part of the testimony. Three young
men visited the police station yesterday
and stated that they saw the whole affair,
and that they, assisted by young Osfeld,
carried Wech to the sidewalk. They fur
ther said that Mr.. Ponton, who was well
known to them, did not arrive upon the
scene until ten minutes after they had
carried the young man to the sidewalk.
Their version of the affair is as follows:
They were walking toward Valley Falls
when they noticed two men on wheels
coming toward them, riding abreast. One
OF the men they noticed was riding rather
unsteadily as il he was a novice on the
wheel. Believing that he was learning to
ride the wheel they had the curiosity to
turn around and watch them. While do
ing so they saw Welch fall from his bicycle.
Welch fell, according to their story in the
middle of the car track.
The young men state that they laughed
at first at the mishap, but when they saw
that the bicycle rider was unable to rise
they hurried forward to render assistance.
When they reached the spot they found
young Osfield sitting on the ground hold
ing Welch's head in his hands and talking
TO him. 1t was then that the rider was
taken to the sidewalk. This story, as told
by these three young men, is corroborated
by two young ladies who were on the op-
posite side of the street, and who have
signified their willingness to be present at
the inquest. In view of these conflicting
stories it is proper that the inquest should
be held.

Onicers welch and syivestre Put an End to
Sunday Ball.
Complaints have been reaching the
police station that young America do not
have that respect for the seventh day OF
the week that they ought. Instead OF
going to Sunday school and listening to
nice stories they have for some time been
amusing themselves In different parts OF
the city playing baseball. Yesterday OFF,
GERS Welch and Sylvestre were out on
hunt for these chaps and succeeded In run
ing across game In full operation on
new street off of Cowden street. When
the BOYS saw the officers coming they
did not stop to gather up their shoes, hats
or jackets, but gave lively exhibition of
how to vanish from sight.
The officers gathered up the pile OF
wardrobe and brought it to the station.
Later in the day the parents OF the boys
visited the police station and gave the
names of the baseball players, and in re-
turn received their boys clothes. In all
probability they will be introduced to
Judge Con some fine morning.

The Case of James Rowley Assuming
Dangerous Aspect.
The condition of James Rowley, the
young man who fell down the elevator
shaft at Conant's Mills, Thursday evening,
is assuming a dangerous attitude. Yes
terday a consultation was held by Doctors
Chace, Kelligher and Kiley, at the home OF
Rowley, on Lonsdale avenue. Naturally
they found that the nervous organiza-
ton of the young man was In
badly damaged condition, owing to the
terrible shaking up. A certain amount OF
plurisy has developed, no complications
have set in as yet, and If none show them
selves there may be chance for the young
man to pull through. A thorough exam
ination of the case, however, finds him in
a rather critical condition.
