Of the state had gathered at the pop

by steam cars, by horse vehicle OF every
description. and they came In legions

that. despite the Immense crowd, there
was no noise or roughness. everybody

fhe carousals, the Russian toboggan

bay. IL was one OF the biggest days OF
the season at Rocky Point.
AS usual Col. $. s. Atwell did big

HARDSHIPS OF ASHER.
Sermon by Rev. Mr.. Day In the Mathew
son Street M. TT Church.

In the absence of Rev. DIR. Dick, pas
tor of the Mathewson Street M. r.
church. the pulpit of that church was
occupied by Rev. S. Hamilton Day of
ST. Augustine. Fla, who in the evening
preached a very interesting sermon on
the hardships of Asher. taking as his
text, 'Thy shoes shall be iron and
brass, and as thy days, so shall thy
strength be-"
Mr.. Day in substance said: "Of
course, the shoes mean walking. We
are not always to travel by means of
Wagner palace cars or bicycles. And
so this walking means weariness. 1t
not seldom happens that some woman
saws: There are no troubles like mine
God. however, Is sure to soften the sor-
row when II is most severe. The tribe
of Asher lived in a rough country,
where patent leather pumps. slippers
or soft moccasins wouldn't be of much
use. Life never proceeds on level for
long. For some time the family and
the children move on happily and un-
eyentful until suddenly the father or
the mother dies. Asher has some trials.
duties. They are tests which make up
the conditions of growth in spiritual
life. We need iron shoes OF duty for
the paths which we are often called
upon to follow"

straps in the interior are also out or
order from corrosion, and some or the
aluminium rivet holes have shown
tendency to expand.
The cost of the improvements needed
to make the Defender a good trial boat
Is placed at $4,000, which managing
owner Iselin Is expected to bear.
The boat will be towed TO the Herre-
shoff works as soon as the Upton chal-
lenge is definitely accepted, and placed
at one of Herreshoff docks, where, dur
ing the fall and winter, she will be put
into shape for the testing of the new

OFF THE TRACK.
Locomotive Left the Rails and
Caused a Collision.
No One Was Hurt, but the Engine Was
Somewhat Damaged.

A collision on the Bristol branch OF
the Consolidated road, caused by a
locomotive leaving the track. created
some excitement at Bristol yesterday
morning, but the damage was very
slight, and the regular time schedule
was barely interrupted. The train
which had arrived from Warren at 1910
O'clock was running back into the sta
tion preparing TO leave again, for War
ren, and was making what Is known as
a flying switch.
The locomotive was uncoupled from
the cars and was going at full speed to
make a siding in order to allow the cars
TO pass into the train shed. Suddenly
the forward trucks OF the locomotive
swerved. throwing the wheels on the
track. The engineer, Albert Bernard.
seeing the danger. put on full steam In
order to avoid collision, but could not
get far enough away from the end or
the switch to clear the side of the cars.
The locomotive was backing when the
accident occurred, and the truck chain
broke as soon as the forward wheels
left the rails, Slowing the trucks side
ways. This caused the wheel on the
left side to crush in the casting on the
forward end OF the cylinder head of the
locomotive. The wheels then struck a
switch guard. breaking IL off short.
The locomotive finally stopped but
IL Ii had gone two feet farther IL would
not have been touched by the first pas
senger car. The car ripped off the
steam chest on the right hand side Of
the locomotive and injured the cylinder
head. The car suffered some. and the
floor was covered with broken glass
from the lamp shades and the water
tanks was torn out of place. The seats
were badly wrenched on one side, while
the outside OF the car escaped with the
exception of being scratched and iron
rods bent underneath. A wrecking
train was sent for. and by 1.30 o'clock
the tracks were cleard and rains ar
rived and left without any trouble.
The cause OF the wheels leaving the
| tracks was attributed TO the spreading
| of the rails. and later this was found
| to be the case. for when they were
| gauged IL was seen that they had
! spread over an inch The total damage
| to the company will amount to about
$500

SUICIDE
BY POISON
Wallace Kills Himself in

EFFORTMAD TO SAVE HIM
Hospital Doctors Worked an Hour

EFFORT MADE TO SAVE HIM
HIS HOME WAS IN WORCESTER.

A man who is believed to have been
DIR. John b. Wallace of Worcester,
Mass, committed. suicide by taking
poison in front of the First Baptist
church yesterday morning, and al
though every effort was made to save
his life 1t was in vain, and the man
died at the Rhode Island Hospital. The
man was first noticed walking aim
lessly on North Main street, and after
the church service had commenced he
sat down on the steps which lead from
the street to the entrance Of the church.
He remained there for some time and
was noticed several times py Offcer A.
r. Martin while on his beat. The man
was very quiet and was apparently in
a brown study, his appearance lndicat-
ing a man of some culture, althouGh
his face denoted dissipation. Ofucer
Martin went around Benefit street and
back to North Main street, and as ne
came toward the steps the man rollec
over on one side and down tne Steps,
receiving quite cash on the SIDE OF MS
face by coming in contact with the edge
of the lower step.
The officer, assisted by others, laid
the man on the grass in the church lot,
and, as ii was evident that his condi-
ton was serious, hurry call was sent
in for the ambulance, which arrived
promptly. When the surgeon reached
the man his life was fast ebbing away,
due to the effects of some poison which
had been taken, but he was removed TO
the hospital where the doctors worked
over him for an hour but ii was all In
vain, There seems TO be no reason
whatever to doubt that it was delib-
crate case Of suicide.
Last Friday Captain Matthews OF the
Central police station was notified that
a man who said his name was Dr.
Wallace was drunk and acting very
strangely on the Gaspee street bridge.
An officer was sent to investigate but
failed to find the man. Ii Is believed
that the man who committed suicide
and the man seen on Friday were one
and the same. Word was sent to the
Worcester authorities last evening.

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
No Action Yet Taken Regarding
the Supreme Court Decision.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-George X.
Blanchard, Chairman of the Joint Traf-
ffc Association, said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press to-day,
that a meeting of the association would
be held soon to consider the decision or
the Supreme Court, when their legal
counsel will advise them and perhaps
make a statement
I'VE have already asked Congress to
pass pooling law" said Mr.. Blanch-
ard, "and that remedy has been denied
u.s. Our position has long been that
uniformity of railroad rates is essen
tial to commercial prosperity. If, for
instance, there were sixty different
rates into New York, the stability Of
New York's commerce would be at an
end. What we desire from Congress is
authority to contract among ourselves
for maintaining uniformity of rates. 1
do not think there is any need Of pro-
viding by law a penalty for disregard
of uniform rates by railroad companies
or their agents"
Mr.. Blanchard desired to refrain from
commenting upon the Supreme Courts
decision until he had seen a printed
copy of it in its entirety.
A meeting of the managers of the
Joint Traffic Association was held here
to-day, and adjourned without acting,
pending the receipt. of a copy of the
text of the Supreme Courts decision.
