New Haven Is to be favored this week
with the presence of a distinguished ed
ucator in the person of Bishop John f..
Hurst, d. D., LII. d., Of Washington,
d. c., who is to speak In the First M.
e. church Wednesday evening com
parative stranger here Bishop Hurst is
recognized in the world of ecclesiastical
literature as an authority. His cholar-
ly History of Rationalism' first pub

ings since that great work appeared

AS author, editor and scholar he has
won high place in the literary world.
Add to this his work as an educator
and the founder of the American uni
versity at washington, also his position
as bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and 1t becomes evident that an
opportunity is afforded New Haven to

Incidental TO the Event n New Custom
Ia snnugurattn.

The ceremonies attendant upon the
decoration of the graves of their dead
members by the Sarsfeld Guard yester-
day afternoon were very impressive and
a fitting testimonial to the memory of
the men who made that organization
the representative Irish company Of the
National Guard in Connecticut. Incl
dental to the event was the Inaugural
ton of new custom for such occa-
sons by Armorer Allen. As the COM
pany left the armory at 2 o'clock the
large American flag which waves from
the pole overhead was lowered by him
to half-mast, where it waved until the
guard returned at o'clock. Mr. Allen
stated that the flag will be lowered in
like manner on all similar occasions.
In the morning the company attended
St Francis church in q body and lis
tened to a very elevating discourse by
the Rev Father Kennedy. A large
number of veteran members were pres
ent, and these also marched with the
active members in the afternoon The
company presented a decidedly pretty
sight as it marched up Meadow street
In the afternoon, headed by the Second
regiment band. All in line wore the
regulation dress uniform, with the ex-
ception of the trousers which were of
white duck. No side arms were worn,
and the arms of each man were filed
with flowers, while on each arm hung
a wreath. This departure from the
custom Of carrying but one bouquet and
one wreath was widely commented on,
as the effect was very pretty indeed
The line of march from Church street
was up Chapel to Howe, thence to How
ard avenue, out Congress avenue to
West street and st. Demands cemetery.
There was no speaking at the ceme-
terry, the whole time being spent in dec
Grating the graves. These We're very
easy to find this year, having been
marked with a specially designed
marker by the company at considerable
expense. The graves were decorated
by the men in squads under the direc-
ton of a corporal The graves in ST.
Lawrence cemetery were decorated by
a special detail of men, who rode to the
place in carriages. The company re-
turned to the armory at o'clock.

TWO HURT IN A TRAIN CRASH.


New York New Isavsa and Hartford
Engine and Elevated Car in Col
| lision.
New York, June ia rear end col
lision between passenger train of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad and a train of the Manhattan
| Elevated road occurred yesterday af-
| ternoon at the Willis avenue station.
| Neither train was badly damaged. but
| two men, one on the New York, New
| Haven and Hartford locomotive and the
other on a platform of the Manhattan
| train, were slightly injured.
| William T. Dickerson, forty-flve years
| Old Of No. S3S East One Hundred and
| Thirty Eighth street, who was otanding
on the pilot of the New York, New Ha-
| ven and Hartford engine, had his ankles
sprained. Thomas Jones, forty years
old, Of No. 60 West One Hundred and
Thirty-second street, a passenger,
standing on the Manhattan train, receiv-
ed a wound on the head. Both men were
attended by DR.. Raynor of No. 1876 Will
lis avenue.
A special train on the Manhattan
road leaves Hanover square little af-
ter u o'clock. This special train takes
passengers to the Willis avenue station
to embark ON the New York and New
Haven train, which leaves the station
at One-Hundred and Twenty-ninth
street and Third avenue at 1910 o'clock.
The Manhattan train usually reaches
the Willis avenue Station first, and a
man hired by the company stands on
the pilot of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford engine to give the signal
as to stopping and going ahead. This
man Is Dickerson.
The elevated train had just reached
the Willis avenue station when the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
train appeared Nearly all the pas
sengers on the elevated train had dis
embarked.
Owing to some mistake of signals the
engineer Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford train failed to stop quick
enough, though the train was slowing
up at the time.
Jones was just about to alght from
the elevated train when the crash came.
He was thrown to the ground. The |
rear of the elevated train was somewhat |
smashed and many windows were brok- |
ell. Had the accident occurred a little |
sooner many persons would have been |
hurt by flying glass
