MANY DUTIES ARE CUMBERSOME

Clinton. Aug. 21.-A story has reached
town that there is some talk in ecclesi-
astical circles in Springfield, the resi-
dence of Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas D.
Beaver, of dividing Clinton and Ian
caster into two. or even three, parishes.
Clinton and Lancaster are now one par
ish. There is a chapel in Lancaster
which is in charge of Rev. FIR. r. ].
Paterson, and services are held there.
which are conducted by one of the
curates.
There are at least 5000 souls in the
parish, and over many for one rector
to look after.
1t is not contemplated that any such
change will be made during the incum-
pency of FIR. Paterson. The rumor of
division arose while FIR. Paterson was
i'll, and when it was thought in SPRING
field that he might not recover.
Inc parish has grown up under FIR.
Paterson. 1t is an organization easier
for him to manage than for anybody
else.
Under his wise ministratfons it has
prospered greatly, and the increase in
responsibility has come so gradually as
not to be too burdensome.
The sentiment of the people of the
parish is almost entirely in favor Of one
parish, however.
If any change is ever made the Cath
Ole people here would rather see it
come in the shape of a larger number
of curates. so that the work can be
divided.
The parish has been fortunate, how
ever, in securing the services of very
able men as curates.
Everything connected with the church
is progressing smoothly even now
when Rev. FIR. Paterson is i'll and con-
fined to his room. This fortunate state
of things is attributed to the energy and
executive ability of Rev. FIR. w. c. Nc
Caughan, upon whose shoulders the re-
sponsibility has descended.

PRAISE FOR VICINITY ROADS.

Clinton, Aug. 21.-William H. Doyle
of Bridgeport, Conn, who is visitor in
Clinton, was one Of the first persons to
reach the scene Of the Bridgeport troll
ley road accident, in which % persons
were killed outright, and IL injured so
that three died, of AZ persons who were
on the car that went over the trestle.
Mr.. Doyle is a newspaper man, and
the writer in fact of the Associated
Press stories of the accident, printed
in The Spy, which were virtually the
stories of an eye witness Mr.. Doyle
has ridden $50 miles in the last 10 days
over the trolley roads of Massachusetts
partly as a recreation, and partly to
gun information for certain persons in
Bridgeport who are going to urge the
passage of laws providing for certain
imp ovements IN the construction of
trolley roads, and certain precautions
in the operation Of them.
He said today that he is on the whole
of the opinion that the trolley roads of
Connecticut are behind those of Mas
sachusetts in point of construction, and
also that the Massachusetts owners of
trolley roads are less apt to work their
motormen and conductors too many
hours.
He holds that the Worcester and
Clinton Railway Company and the
Leominster and Clinton are models in
some respects, but says that in Con-
neeticut the time is not far distant
when the roads will be required to take
some extra precautions, when running
close beside such a place as exists on
the Clinton and Leominster road, OPP
posite Rodgers milk THIS is a steep
wall overlooking the culvert through
which Counterpart is conveyed.
He thinks it strange that the news
papers of the country have given so lit
tie attention to the recommendations of
the coroner's jury in the Bridgeport
case.
To put these recommendations into
effect the people of Connecticut are
calling loudly for an extra session of
the legislature. These reconm endations
as Mr.. Doyle states them, would some
of them apply to the prevention of such
accidents as have occurred on the Wor-
cester and Suburban road
They are as follows:
That all trolley bridges be equipped
with both inner and outer guard rails,
the inner rails to be of the Lattimer
guard type, and the outer guards to be
not less than eight inches in height and.
If of wood, faced with iron on the in
ner side; that no man be allowed to act
as motorman until he shall have been
examined and licensed by a competent
board: that the working hours of mo-
tormen and conductors be reduced with
a reasonable time allowance for meals;
that all cars be brought to a full stop
within 30 feet Of all dangerous bridges
or trestles; and that state commission.
clothed with ample power, be estab-
lished, whose duty it shall be to super
wise the construction and operation OF
electric railways, as does the state
board of railroad commissioners the
construction and operation of the steam
roads of Connecticut.

FATHER is I'LL FROM GRIEF.

Spencer, Aug. 21.-9Edward Lame, the
young son of Raphael Lame, whom it
was reported and verified, had enlisted
in the U. s. army, although only a lad
of Is years, has caused his heart brok-
en- father oceans of trouble. Raphael
Larne. the father of the youth, is ill on
account Of the conduct of his young
son. Young Larne's conduct is sur
prise to all that knew him, and his sor-
rowing parents ave the heartfelt sym
pathy of the community.
Young Larne as been found, but in
such place as his father never ex-
pected a son of his to go. He is in
prison. The offense for which he was
booked up was enlisting under false
pretenses and forging the name of his
father as a willing party to his enlist
ment, when his parent was 200 miles
from the hayward lad. TIE younhg boy
has been brought before the court and
was sentenced to term of 16 months.
The announcement of the young fell
lows conviction and Imprisonment
came as a surprise to his parents and
relatives.
Today Postmaster Harry S! Trip re-
ceived official notice from Washington
that the post office was to be removed
from its present position to the store
formerly occupied by H F. Warren in
the east end Of the Sugden block The
Sugden block Is the property Of the
town Of Spencer, and the trustees of
the property, A. w. Curtis, DR.. e. R.
Wheeler and Miss Annie e. Tucker, will
begin at once to put the store into shape
for the new post Office. The present To-
cation of the post office in Union block,
at the top of the large hill on Main
street, has long been obnoxious to a
great many of Spencer's citizens, and
at last the work of these people is to
be crowned with success, and the post
office situated in the center of the bust
ness section Of the town.
The exclusive announcement in The
Spy this morning to the effect that Ce-
conf, the pitcher that won the game for
Spencer Saturday, would not, in all
probability, pitch for the Spencer team
next Saturday, came as a thunderbolt
from a clear sky to some of Spencer S
baseball enthusiasts. Ceconi was seen
by The Spy man today, but could not
say whether he would pitch Saturday OF
not, but in all probability he thought
he would return to his home in Boston
some day this eek The young twirler
may be induced to stay, but 1t is doubt
full.
In the district court this morning
Justice A. w. Curtis fined William Blu

MEN LEFT THEIR JOBS.
Heat Was So Intese In Clinton Tina
Laborers Wouldn't Work.

Unless the weather let's up a little in
Clinton, some of the contractors on the
reservoir will have to suspend work 1t
was almost impossible to keep the la
borers on their jobs today. They pre-
ferred to get out of the sun and lie in
the shadow Of their shacks. Those who
did work could show less result for
their efforts by a third than would or
dinarily be the case.
The hot weather is justly obliged to
bear the burden of great many mis-
takes. DR.. John w. Worcester, chair
man of the board OF health, was asked
this afternoon by the representative Of
The Spy to what cause he attributed
the defeat of the appropriation of $1,000
for the purchase and maintenance of a.
garbage wagon. He said: Partly to
the fact that the town meetings are
held on Saturday night, when the bust
ness men cannot be present, but more
to the fact that the night was so hot
that most of the voters sayed at home, .
DR.. Worcester thinks that the anger
engendered among the business men on
High street by the smell Of garbage in
the neighborhood will certainly result
in the matter being brought UP again
with more satisfactory results

Aside From This the General Health
of Clinton is Good.

cases Of measles in Clinton, which had
not been reported to the board Of

properly designated and has seen to it
that the Infection shall be restrained as
much as possible.
The town Is nearly free from infec-

Chain, near the Durant road, leading to
Seventh lake. The accident occurred
about O'Clock Saturday night. 1t was
the first season that Ralph had enjoyed
camp life In the woods and he was very
anxious to kill deer. The season for
shooting had opened just a few DAYS
before. About shutdown the young man
left the camp alone, starting in the
direction OF the Durant road and soon
after William left the camp unaccom-
panied.
When William reached the Durant
road he heard a noise several hundred
feet away. He supposed a deer was
going to cross the road. Then there was
movement in the brush beside the
road and he drew his rifle and fired.
he hastened to where he supposed the
deer was lying and was Mortified to And
his brother lying on the ground uncon-
scious. He soon discovered that the
bullet had struck his brother in the
right chest William at once set out for

was taken to Utica and later sent 10

EARLY AFTER PENSIONS.
One Soldier ont Of EreET Twelve Of the
sPauish-Amsrieaa War Wants Pay
from UneIe san

Washington, Dec 27.-The business
zeal of the pension attorneys threat
ems to bring the pension list Of the
Spanish-AmericaE and Philippine wars
up 10 startling proportions. Already
$4,000 applications for pensions grow
ing out of these wars have been filed
with the pension bureau The fact
thai from the Ninth Massachusetts,
regiment alone $50 applications have
been fled is evidence Of the pension
attorneys activity.
The total number Of enlistments for
the Spanish-American war and the
Philippine war was about 342, 900, but
nearly 10000 Of these were re-enlist-
ments. 1t is estimated, therefore, that
the total number Of individuals en-
listed for the two wars is approx
mately 500, 900. As there have, up to
the present time been $500 applica-
lions for pensions growing out Of
these wars. it viii be seen that one
soldier in every twelve Of those who
served is 4 pensiOn-seeker. And this
startling proportion is attained In
less than two years from the date
upon which the war with Spain was
declared. and In the face of the fact
that the American losses IN battle
upon sea and upon land were, proper
tiOnateIy to the forces engaged, the
smallest sustained in any American
war

states that inasmuch as celibacy is a
church ordinance and not a divine
command, established when candi-
dates for the priesthood were numer-

calling has fallen into disrepUte in
Latin America and many parishes are
without pastors and inasmuch as
celibacy is the main reason why the
youth are disinclined to become
priests in these countries, it seems
advisable for those without sufficient

statement that a plan is on foot
among the members of rumber Of
Holland organizations and lIibernian
societies IN this country to organize
raids on the Dominion Of Canada sim
liar TO those which startled the world
in 1868 This plan, as the story goes,
was first suggested by avOwed BOer
sympathizers, and word has been
passed along to various cities. It is
asserted that agents have been OBJ
tanned in Pjttsburg, Chicago, Detroit,
Minneapolis and several other cities
to organize iaring spirits for the pur-
pose of making a dash on The Cana
dian border.
Stories Not Credited in Washington.
Washington, Dee. 27-The alleged
attempts in different parts of the
country to organize Fenians for a
raid into Canada have not as yet been
drawn TO the attention Of the state
department, and nothing is known
upon the subject beyond the matters
set out in the newspaper publica-
tions. The officials do not give the
smallest credence to the stories, and
are OF the opinion that the purpose
in setting them ahOat is to brighten
the Canadians into keeping their sol
diers at home and refusing tn answer
the appeal of England for volunteers
for the African campaign.
Should it turn out that Fenian
movement of this kind alleged to
exist is actually discovered and
brought to the attention of the Unit
ed States government, sharp and
prompt repressive action viii be tax
en-, not only to prevent the violation
Of the neutrality laws, but also to
save the raiders themselves from
