KILLED BY CARS
Joseph J. Parker Of Enos-
burgh Run Over
THIS MORNING At RANDOLPH
Stood on the Tracks Watch>
ing the Loading Of the
Stock Train.
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Randolph, April l6.---A sad acci-
dent occurred here about s O'Clock this
morning, when Joseph J. Parker an
old man so years old lost his life in
the freight yard at this station. He
stood on the third track watching the
train men loading stock from the
yard. A hand car came along on the
middle track and his attention was
called to it as it went by, and he did
not notice that the cattle train had
finished loading and was backing up.
He was struck by the car trucks
knocked down and the wheels passed
over his left leg and he was badly
bruised otherwise. He was taken to
Allen & Bailey's drug store but only
lived about 90 minutes. lie was
visiting at Edwin Burt's on Weston
st. He leaves wife at EnOsburgh.
no blame is attached to the cattle
train men as he was on the track
where he had no business to be. There
have been several thrilling escapes
in this yard and people ought to be
forbidden to walk upon the tracks in
that vicinity,

DEFALCAT|oN
Bank Teller J. c. Fanar and
$4,000 Missing
FROM WATERBURY
The Cause was the Old Story
of Stock Investment of
other peoples Money.

Waterbury, April 16.-The who'll
village is in furor over the announce
made yesterday that j. G. Farrar tel
ler of the National Bank had disap-
peared and that the sum of $25,
was missing from the funds of the
bank.
The news is a great shock to the
community, as the evidence tends tC
point at Mr.. Farrar as the guilty
party, and he has always been consid-
cred one of the model men of the viii
lage, having been born and brought
up here.
The cashier of the bank, Charles
Wells first made the discovery of a
deficit in the funds of the bank Satur-
day afternoon and at once called the
attention of his teller, j. c. Farrar,
to the fact. Farrar said there must
be some error in the figures and both
set about examining the books. At
the suggestion of the teller they clos
ed the books to go to their supper at
6 o'clock, Farrar saying that he would
return and continue the examination
with the cashier. Since this time
I'arrar has not been seen nor his
whcrca bouts known.
Further investigation by the cashier
shows deficit of about $25, 900. The
capital of the bank is 800, 900 with a
surplus of $50, 900.
Mr.. Farrar has been trusted en-
ployc of the bank for several years and
is also treasurer of the village. He is

EASTER SERVICES.
The Various Churches in the City Oh.
served the Day.

In all the churches of the city yes.
tcrday there were services appropriate
to Easter Sunday. The services were
carried out according to the program
printed in Saturdays issue. (The
program of the Episcopal services
were omitted by accident and will be
found at the end of this article.)
The weather was all that could be
expected and all the churches were
well filled. This is the great festival
of the church year in the Christian
church and Easter is the "great Sun
day" that commentaries the reSurrec-
tion Of Christ.
The origin of the name Easter
strangely enough is found to have
designated a heathen goddess. The
festival of the goddess of spring, a
goddess whose name is spelled various
ly Eastrc, Eostre, and OStara, was of
course, held in the time of the year
over which she was believed to preside.
When the Germanic peoples were con.
verted to Christianity they simply
transferred the name of their goddess
to the name of the great Christian
feast. The Latin races use, as a rule
Of IN In
for the Passover, Pesach. This is
better than our word etymologically
but since the glory of the goddess
Eostre is long since forgotten, the
word Easter will have to do for those
who speak languages closely allied to
the German. Bible scholars tell us
that the word Easter is used once in
the King James version Of the New
Testament. There it referred to the
feast of the Passover.
The following program was rendered
at the Church of the Good Shepherd:
Carol, Welcome, Happy Morning.
Sentences and Lords Prayer.
Carol, Come ye Faithful.
Psalm 149.

Lesson-2d Gospel for Easter Day.

an unusually bright young man, "a
years Of age, and a universal favorite
in the community, having the implicit
confidence of the bank officials and
every one who knew him. His pa.
rents are highly respected people who
have always lived in this community.
He married an estimable lady about
two years ago and has one child.
The wife and parents are heartbrok-
en- and the surprise occasioned by
their utter failure to trace his where
abouts or condition is too great for
them to bear.
1t is evident that Mr.. Farrar has
been dealing in the stock market and
he is quite heavy loser in the recent
failure of Knott & Closson of Burlng-
ton and this accounts for the sad
affair. His friends, who are many, do
not look upon the affair as deliber-
ate theft, but as simply a case of
borrowing in order to keep above wa
ter in the stock market, with the in
tention of replacing it again.
1t is evident that the capital of the
bank will not be impaired.
This forenoon Mrs. Farrar received
Il telegraphic despatch from her hus-
band in Boston. The telegram read
as follows: cam going to New York.
Will be at home Wednesday, What
his object in going to Boston and New
York may be is not known, but it is
he is making an effort to re-
store the deficit. The general opn-
ion is that he will undoubtedly return
Wednesday and face the worst.

not hesitated openly to express q CON
tempt for the man and his alleged
miracles. One story which is mat
ter of common belief in Russia is that
onee the Metropolitan Archbishop Of
st. Petersburg summoned Father John
before him and requested him to cease
from his supposed miracles. 80
b Soon after the rebuked priest had
left the Metropolitan's presence that
naughty preIate was smitten with
blindness. The archbishop's friends
begged him to send again for Father
John. He did SO, and Father John re-
Tented and restored his sight. a vari-
ant of this story is that the MetrDpoli-
tan dismissed John with a wave of his
arm ,whereupon the arm became para-
lyzed, only to be restored to health by
the intercession of the priest. The facf
that the bishop has never been afflicted
either with blindness or paralysis does

drnslSy, the miracle worker made his
way slowly and gently through the

nameless scourge, children with sight

by eager mothers in the path of Father
John. Over some he hreathed a few

Laid his hand in passing, and in every
case the mothers face was wreathed in
glad smiles, and one could catch many
a prayer for the little child lying sick
Unto death in the great house. In this
case the child died, and it is quite
likely that the crowd at the doors
never heard the result off Father John's s
1navailing intercession on it's behalf.
Throughout Russia the pictures of
Father John are to be seen more fre-

not interfere With the popular belief
OF the story. ~ =
Father John accepts no money for
his services either FROM noble or pea
SAINT. II money is thrust upon him he
accepts it solely on behalf of the poor
and suffering His system of aims
giving is unique and demoralizing.
Every day he receives many letters
containing gifts of money. The letters
are opened, the communications re-
moved, and the gift replaced. Accom-
panied by priest who acts as secre-
tary and aimoner. Father John appears
at 10 o'clock every morning at the door
of his house. They pass along the
two lines of beggars and pilgrims, to
the first of whom the envelope opened
frst is handed; the second envelope
goes to the second beggar, and so on,
until the gifts are exhausted. If there
are more beggars than envelopes, then
rather John sends his aimoner for his
private purse, and thus NO beggar goes
away empty-handed. -
Father John is of peasant birth and
has preserved the simplicity of his
early manner of living. He has a sin
gularly kind and benevolent expression
OF lace, and seems really sincere in
what he does. Though most people
outside of Russia regard him as a re-
l1glous mystic, a distinguished Scot
tish professor calls him |fthe great pill
lar and far-shining ornament Of the
Greek church of our day, and the
greatest Of living spiritual writer's
worthy to stand before Kempis."
