Of the Out-Door Meetings of the Y.
 M c. A.
 The last outdoor meeting on the green was held by the Young Mems Christian association yesterday after noon at the usual hour. A very at tractive programme had been arrang- ed and large number were present. The Franklin male quartet sang three appropriate selections and two solos were rendered, one entitled Eternal Goodness by F.. F. Allen and Lead Kindly Light" by r. K. Langdale. This piece Is said to be President McKin- ley's favorite hymn. The piano was played by Harry J. Read, organist of Trinity Episcopal church.
 The address was given by Rev. L. IT.. Schermerhorn, late from the University of the State of Iowa. He alluded sev- eral times to President Mckinley and the one great event in our current his- tory. By many illustrations from his- tory he proved that the affairs of this and other nations are in the hands of God. "The God of the universe has His hand upon the nations of the world. The mems meetings will begin in the association rooms, 713 Chapel street, next Sunday and w. A. Sage has been secured to speak at that time.

DROWNED OFF SILVER SANDS
THOMAS M1CAULEY OF 306 DIX
 WELLAVE. LOSTHIS LITE.

| Was In n sailboat With Six Companions l and When a Hundred Feet from shore { the Craft Cnpsized Could | Not swim-Another One of the Party | Almost Drowmed-The Body Not Yet l Found
 | Thomas Macauley, a young man who worked at Wholesalers and lived with
 his folks at 306 Dixwell avenue, was
 drowned yesterday afternoon off Silver | Sands, small place east of Lighthouse l Point. Young Macauley and six friends, John Londergin, Charles Berry, John Shea, Thomas Ahearn, John Mahoney, | and Louis Gessner, borrowed boat of | A. r. McGrail, who has cottage at Silver Sands. and went out for a sail. The boat was a small one and hardly able to accommodate seven men. The wind was blowing hard all day yester- | day from off shore and was very treacherous It would come in squalls from the direction of the land and it
 is in this kind of a wind that three quarters of the sailing accidents occur. It Is understood that the young men were not familiar with sailboat and that they were caught In one of these squalls. Their sheet was fastened hard
 and as the wind struck the sail of the
 boat, she capsized, throwing the occu-
 pants into the water. Macauley cried
 out that he could not swim, and some
 of those who could went to his rescue.
 They had a hard time with the young
 man, who clutched them around the
 neck and put them In danger of being
 pulled under the water with him.
 They finally, in order to save them
 selves struck out for shore, about 100 feet distant. Five of the men reached there in safety, but the sixth, Louis Gessner was almost exhausted when he was pulled up on the beach by his companions. The men notified the po- lice and the people they knew at the shore, and search was made for the body of Macauley. Up to late hour last night it had not been recovered. A number of boats were out with drag nets and were working in the vicinity of the accident but they were unable to find the body. The strong tide that Was HOWlHS out SaTly ldSI HlSHl CUiIl- blned with the off shore wind would naturally carry the body down the sound.
 Macauley was a popular young man and his friends who were with him at the time of the accident said they did all in their power to save him.
 He was employed in the lead bullet department in Wnchester's, and was a steady and reliable young man. He was twenty-tWo years of age.

FROM THE CITY PULPITS
PRAYERS FOR THE RECOVERY OF
 OUR PRESIDENT.
Remarks Made Also by Various of Our Pastors Tributes to President McKin- ley's Worth and Ability.

The Rev. Fred Winslow Adams re-
 ferred to MT. Mckinley in his sermon
 at Epworth M. E. church last evening
 most interestingly. At the close he
 paid this tribute to the president: 'l
 know the moment is ripe for extrava-
 gant statement. l have carefully
 thought over to-day what I am about
 to utter that it might even in time of
 excitement be tempered with judgment
 I have been thinking of our presidents
 beautiful domestic virtues-of his ten
 der grateful memory of Annie, sister
 of his youth, of his gentle devotion to
 mother, in her advanced years, of his
 gracious solicitude for the fair, frail woman by whose side he has stood with all the ardor of lover for thirty years, flavoring real life with the aroma of ideal romance; and this is what I say, I believe when the years have passed and William Mckinley shall be known as Washington and Lincoln are to-day, that his sensitive domestic virtues, his uniform courtesy, his intense love for his fellow man, his sterling integrity in an exalted posi- tion, his real statesmanship in a pc riod that called for statesmanship of the first order, his great desire for peace at home and abroad and his many acts to further concord and uni ty, his typical American spirit and quiet Christian virtues all place him aside by side with the best in manhood that our civil life has produced. Never has our country been furnished with such an ideal of true homely domestic felicity in the white house, never have our people had a president who in- epfred greater loyalty or who was more truly trusted, and never has our coun- try won such respect among the na- Z tions of the earth as during the ad- Our prayers are for him, and the fair lady who tonight holds his hand in hers.
 W Rev. Mir. Adams read bulletin, con- Cerning the presidents condition to the Acongregation at the close of the morn ing service and all then sang the dox- sO1ogy over the encouraging report.
 At the Church of the Redeemer at yesterday forenoon's service the pastor, Rev. pr. Phillips, referred to the trag- ledy in the course of the communion pervice in suitable remarks, and also in his prayer In his remarks he re- ferred to the suddenness and awful mess of the tragedy, and the feeling of Uncertainty that we all have over the I0utcone of the presidents condition; also to the fact that in forty years three of our presidents have been stricken down by assassins. Dr. Phillips also expressed the thought that despite the occurrence of these tragedies there was room to encourage the belief that in these and other exhibitions of the evil passions of men in defiance of law and authority, mankind was steadily grow Ing better under the spread of the gos- pei of Christ and His teachings
 At the United church the assistant HaEtor, Rev. MT Deane off1ciated for the last time as the assistant pastor of

KNOCKED INTO THE CREEK
DRUNKEN MAN BOWLED OYER BY
 .1 S1RA7FORD CAR.
Was Sleeping on TrestIc N ear Mead ows End-Conductor Dove in and Pulled Him Out of the Deep Watcr--Mnn Was Only Slightly Injured.

Only Slightly Injured.
 Last evening the car leaving Strat-
 ford at z o'clock for New Haven ran into man on the trestle this side of Meadows End and threw him into the water several feet below. The man was apparently drunk and had either fallen or had chosen that place to rest his weary limbs. As soon as the man struck the water the conductor of the car dove in the water after him and before he had gone many feet below the surface the conductor grabbed him and brought him ashore. The car had been run over the trestle and the man was taken to Milford in it. The con- ductor was sent at once to the home of General Superintendent Tom linson in Milford where he was fitted out with dry clothing. MT. Tomlinson, as well as all the passengers on the car, spoke highly of the quick act of the conductor for saving the man. The water there is very deep and the con- ductor said that he did not touch bot tom. The rescued man was sent on to Bridgeport from Milford and hereafter he will probably choose some other place to sleep off any burden that he may be carrying. MT. Tomlinson took care of the car until a change in con- ductors was made near Woodmont.
 A remarkable thing about the oc- currence was that the man escaped with a slight injury to his knee, and scratch on -fis head.
 The name of the conductor who so bravely dove for the man into the creek is McKirk. The man rescued gave his name as Marvin and his home at 325 Canal avenue, Bridgeport. After he had been taken to Bridgeport 1t was learned that he had come from Bridge port on an earlier car and had jumped from the car at q point near the tres tie. Search was made at that time, but disappeared in the bushes by the track and could not be located.
