HURLED IN4O RIVER
Hrs. Andrew Egan Killed on Trsstls
 By Naugatuck Train.

Another life went out yesterday af- ternoon at Holmes, Booth & Haydens bridge, so called, on the Naugatuck railroad, when Mrs Andrew Egan of 1133 Bank street was struck by a train and hurled to deathl against the stones at the bottom of the river. Mrs Egan, formerly Miss Cream, was visit ing friends on Mill street and was hurfying home to prepare the evening meal for her husband and children, and ill accordance with custom took the short cut over the railroad. She had reached about midway on the trestle when she saw the switcher' coming her way and stepped on one side just In time to be struck by train No 1924, in charge of Conductor Scott and Engineer Gilbert. The engineer says he knew nothing of the wolnai's presence until she emerged from in front of the switcher. When she rehl- ized her perilors position she tried to get out of the way, but before she had time to move she was tossed in the air and fell to the bottom. The engineer did all he could to come to stand still in time to save her, but such thing was out of the question with the warming he had. The body was taken out of the river and removed to the gate house of Holmes, Booth & Haydens, where Medical Examiner Crane viewed the body and authorized it's removal to Moriarty's morgue. Her skull was fractured and one arm was broken. It is believed that death was almost instantaneous. Later in the evening the wonan's husband called at the n1orgue and identified the body as that of his wife. Mrs Egan was thirty eight years of age and besides her husband leaves five children, three boys and two girls. the eldest only if. teen. She was a well known woman and had a large number of relatives and friends, all of whom were shocked when they learned of her untinely death.
 The funeral will take place from the family residence tomorrow morning

n. E. CHURCH BISHOPS
Semi. Annual Conference is Being
 Held in Washington.

Washington, Oct 25.-The college Of, bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, comprising the governing body of that denomination, met in semi-an- nual conference here to-day. Several matters of interest and importance to Methodists are to be dealt with during the sessions, which are to be held daily during the week. Particularly in- teresting will be the assignments which the bishops will give to them selves in presiding over the spring con- ferenees.
 The disposition of the case of. Prof Hinkley c. Mitchell, elected by the board of trustees of the Boston uni- versity, to fill the chair of Hebrew, is perhaps the question of most popular interest Six months ago the bishops refused to confirm the selection of Prof Mitchell on the ground that his interest in the higher criticism" of the Bible unfitted him to teach the Fundamentals of Methodism. The trustees of the university have refused to concur in this decision and have re-appeinted the professor. Five years ago Prof Mitch ell was before the bishops and eX- Dldlueu HIS DelieIS ID tuelr SdllSluCllOl. Since that time he has published book called "The World Before Abra- ham" In which it is alleged by many churchmen he has made heretical statements concerning the Old Testa- ment. It was this work which was the basis of the adverse action six months ago. at which time the bishops were nearly equally divided over the ques- tioii.
 The sessions of the conference are held behind closed doors. It is ex- pected that the first three days of the conference will be devoted to hearing reports from the superintendents on the work in their particular fields Each bishop has practically absolute authority in his bishoprle and an eff fort is made at the semi-annual confer ences to make their work and decisions harmonious.
 Of the total of twenty-eight bishops comprising the college about twenty are present.

AGAIN AFTER s1o,OOO.
Pinkerton Detectives Make Another
 Visit to East Hartford.

Nlsll lo EdSl nhA NlOius
 Hartford, Oct 25.-Pinkerton detec- lives again visited the home of Mrs Cunliffe, wife of the Adams Express robber. in East Hartford yesterday in an attempt to find the S10.OO0 which it Is alleged the thief said he gave to his wife.
 Mrs Ounliffe declined to be inter. viewed by the detectives, claiming that she was too i'll. The persistence of the detectives has led to the belief here abouts that they expect to find the missing money in East Hartford.
 Last night the police put Mir Board man through the sweating" process but it is understood that he stood the test well and stoutiy denied that Mrs Cunliffe or he knew anything about the sum of s10,0O0 which Cunliffe says he gave his wife before he left Pitts burg. Another attempt was made to see Mrs CunlIffe late yesterday. but her condition was such that the detec- tives were not allowed to see her.

This appears to be time when gas companies while reducing the price of gas per 1000 feet make poorer gas and increase the pressure, so that while we pay less per foot our gas bills are increased and the light is less satis- factory. To get the best of this one sided arrangement we are practically compelled to use Gas Mantles, which, while not increasing the consumption of gas, increases to wonderful de- gree its Illuminating power. Mantles, of course, cost money, but with req sonable care they are exceedingly dur able. We personally have had them last for IS months, and how much long, CT they would have lasted had they not been broken by accident we cannot say, but we do know of cases where the same mantle has served for years. We have Mantles at all prices, 1oc, 15c, 2oc, 25c, BOG and 35c.
