Washington, May 29.-Doctor Ne
well Dwight Hills, pastor of Ply
mouth Church, in Brooklyn preached
the funeral of Mrs. Lyman j. Gage
to-day. He had to take u thrilling
ride from Maine to get here in time.
He was taking short vacation in
the woods of Maine when he learned
that it was Mr.. Cages wish that he
should conduct the funeral services.
He hastily made preparation to
reach Washington at the appointed
time. Mr.. Hills was in Rumford
Falls, small town, where transpOr-
tation facilities were so limited that
lie could not reach Washington in
time if the regular trains were used.
/ He communicated with the railroad
officers who placed special lOcomO-
tive at his disposal. Fifty-eight
miles were covered on this engine at
the rate of mile a minute over the
crooked rough track of the Maine
Railway. At one point the track
was in such condition that it was
not deemed safe to send the locomo-
tive over the road. The minister
was taken on hand ear and four sec
tion hands worked the levers at such
rate that he sped for twenty miles
on his man-propelled car at "a rate OF
thirty miles an hour. Another EN-
gine was waiting at the end of the
bad stretch of track and in this the
race was continued. DIR. Hills caught
train in Boston, on which he
reached Washington an hour before
the funeral services began.
