ceeded to Pelham Center. the Nashua
car in the lead. The Nashua car, when
it arrived at Pelham square, backed

this car, as well as of the car bound
for Lowell, We're relieved for their din
-ners by other men. The Lowell car,
after transferring such passengers as
wished to go to Nashua onto the
Nashua car, proceeded towards Lowell
to the first turnout and there met car
.en route from Lowell to Canobie Lake.
This car proceeded to Pelham square
and stopped on the curve on the south
erly side of the Y opposite the car
bound for Nashua, which was still in
waiting. After this car had transferred
its passengers, Mr.. Stevens, the fore
man at Pelham. said to the men on the
car bound for Canobie Lake: All right,
boys. go ahead
The conductor and motorman of the
car bound for Nashua, understanding
that this order also applied to them,
also started. They should, however,
have waited until the 1916 car from
Nashua, due at Pelham Center at 11.15,
had arrived. Mr.. Stevens did not no.
tice that the Nashua car had started
until it had gone too far for him to
stop it. AS soon as he had realized
what had happened, however he sent
a man to the power station some zoo
feet from the square, TO SMUT OIL !he
power from the Nashua line, running
in an opposite direction towards the
car himself. But before the man had
reached there and accomplished this.
the cars were in COHESION.

IN FAVOR or PROHIBITION.
Hancock County Bariists Not in Sym.
Pcthy With Rub omission.

Lamoine, NJ, sop. THE Hancock
County baptist Church Association in
convention, Friday. adopted the follow
resolves in relation to rcsubmission:
ard heartily il favor OF the prohibition
law CT orr STATE.
THAT VIC arc most unwilling that the
prchibitorv clause should be taken
from the constitution of the State, or
that its implantation therein should in
any waylor in any! degree be weaken
ed. rendered insecure OF imperative.
That we view the recent attempts to
have the constitutional amendment re-
submitted TO the franchise of the peo-
pie as unwise and inexpedient.
That we regard the present canvass
looking forward to resubmission by
forming or attempting to form rcsub-
mission clubs throughout the State. as
is now being conducted by e. n. Ben
son and others, as unfriendly to the
best interests of the people and at en-
tire variance With the desire and good
judgment of the great majority of our
well-to-do and right thinking citizens,
and that we call for rigid and impair
tial enforcement, throughout our COM
monwealth, in city as we'll as in village
and hamlet, of the law relating to this
subject rs it now stands upon our
statute books.
Resolved, that we indorse and ap-
plaud the recent decisions and senti-
ments of Judge Peabody in enforcing
the law against the liquor dealers in
Bangor and all similar action of other
Judges elsewhere.
"HesolI ed, that we regard all agita-
ton looking to resubmission as having
an unmistakable tendency to weaken
the hands of our officials in executing
the law. and as creating an unhealthy
public sentiment against temperance
and good order"
