AT RENSSAL FER, N. Y.

Eugene LaPointe of Worcester was
killed yesterday noon in the freight
yards of the New York & Hudson River
Railroad at Renssal- err station, short

Police William ]. e. Stone from the
chief of police of Albany.
Chief Stone detailed officer Daniel
f. Sullivan on the case and the officer
located LaPointe's parents at 80 Spring
Street. The officers notification of the
contents of the dispatch was the first
mixing the aged parents had of the
accident and to them 1t was terrible
blow.
The dispatch gave no particulars of
the accident and only stated that the
man was killed on the railroad and
his body was In charge of an UNDER
taker at Renssai~ er. The parents are
not able to send for the body but hoped
last night to make some arrangements

New Type of New York Central
Locomotive

The handsome eight-wheel locomo-
tive hereby illustrated is the latest ex-
press engine designed by A. NJ Watt,
superintendent Of motive power, for
pulling the fast express trains over the
New York Central Railroad. This en-
CINE was built in the company's shops
at Depew, and was to some extent ex-
perimental, as 1t was expected that the
tests of service might suggest the
making of changes. A large order for
engines of this class has now been
placed with the Schenectady Locomo-
tive Works, and very few changes were
considered necessary. These engines
will be known as class I-3.
The principal aim of the designer
was to make an engine that could be
depended upon to steam freely under
all adverse conditions Of weather and
| load. Like most of the other express
engines belonging to this company,
the cylinders are 10 by "a inches and
the driving wheels II inches diameter,
but the steam generating capacity has
been materially Increased, the heating
surface being 2404 square feet, of which
$50 square feet are in the f1rebox. The
CRATE area is 30.7 square feet. The
working team pressure is 200 pounds
per square inch. There are $4,000
pounds resting upon the driving wheels
and SO. 900 pounds upon the truck. The
tractive power is 1900 and the ratio
Of traction TO adhesion nearly 8,
most unusual figure. but 1t indicates
that there viii not be much difficulty
with that engine slipping.
The boiler is S. inches diameter at
the smallest ring and has 1854 two-inch
tubes The rigid wheel base is l02
inches; total wheel base Of engine, %
feet 8 inches. The tender is carried
by pressed-steel trucks and is equipped
with apparatus for lifting the water
when train is In motion.-From Loco
motive Engineering.

UNION CHURCH CANNOT
GET DR.. CRANE AS PASTOR

According to the Chicago Tribune,
Rev. Frank Crane, DID, who was an
nounced by an afternoon paper, We'd
nesday, as a possible pastor for Union
Church, has accepted the call to the
Peoples Church, Chicago, to succeed
DIR. Thomas. 1t was with the under
standing that DIR. Crane accept the call
to the Peoples Church that the resig-
nation of DR.. Thomas was accepted.
AS announced in The Spy yesterday,
DR.. Crane has received no offer from
Union Church, Worcester, and it would
seem from the story in the Chicago
Tribune. that he certainly would not
accept such an offer if he received IT..
Dr. Thomas, the outgoing pastor Of
the Peoples Church, is one Of the best
known divines in Chicago, and his
church one of the most popular, In
spite of the fact that he had for
time as his assistant Rev. F. B. Vroo-
man, who was at one time In Wor-
cester and we'll though not favorably
known. DR.. Thomas resignation is due
to the fact that he feels the work is
too much FOR him, without an assist
ant. and he is loath to accept an as
sociate pastor after his experience
with Rev. Mr.. Vrooman.

There may be reasons why you
should pronounce neither as if it were
spelled "neether'' and there may be
reasons why you should pronounce 1t
"nither," but you ought to stick to
one or the other and not change accord
ing to the company you happen to be
in. l heard a young man pronounce 1t
"nither," and almost in the next
breath he used the same word, but
called it "neether." Now he had al
ways pronounced it with the "e''
prominent, and should have stuck to
that way, for when he changed to suit
the occasion, as he supposed, he laid
himself liable to the charge Of affec-
tation.
Some persons scorn to use the word
"nither" and say that it is only used
! by cheap actors, while other persons
cannot pronounce the word any other
way, having never heard it called any
thing else at home. Whichever class
you are in, pray, don't be affected, for
| that takes away any prestige you
fancy might come to you by your use
of certain words.
A Millbury Street storekeeper has 8
unique and seemingly successful way
of collecting his bills. He does not en-
ploy a professional collector either
| His method is less expensive. 1t is
based on lines similar to those of the
wild man of Borneo, who came to towr
with his wife, child, dog, tail, hair and
| flea. When one of this mans custom
| ers owes him a bill he has trouble ir
collecting, he generally puts sigr
printed in half inch letters In his store
4 iv,I ba who lives
on - Street and owes him bill, tc
come in and settle. If the bill is not
settled at the end of the week, the
merchant adds another line to his
sign, getting a little closer to the
mark A. sample of his sign at the
end of the second week is as follows:
"Will the man who lives on Wade
Street and owes me $6.S7, come in and
settler"
will the man who lives In the third
house from the end of Wade Street
pay me the s6.S7 he owes me?"
| And so on until 1t gets so close te
the delinquent he is afraid his name
will be given next and he comes in and
settles.
