Sorrow Follows Joy in the Family
Of The Lannon'S
Ringing Of Church Bell al An
Unusual Hour Caused Surprise


terday there was happiness In the home
Of the Lannon'S on Julian street. but 1t
came 10 a rude ending at 11:l0 p m,
when a member OF the family was obliged
10 call upon rhe police TO remove Philip
Lamont. the head OF the household. The
cause OF this mixture Of Joy and sorrow
was that John Lamont was one Of those
injured I'm the Moore's Corners fatality.
and yesterday representatives OF the
Rhode Island company called upon the
family and made a settlc-aent. paying
$4,000. $4,000 OF which wTF f0- the boy
and the $500 for his phys..i,a's bills and
other expenses The $4,000 was soon
placed in a bank and the $500 was put in
charge of the senior Lamont. who de-
posted II and became the proud possessor
OF a bank book.
All went home we'll pleased with the
events OF the day. and little later the
head OF ~. house went out When he
returned f>ns he brought a Jag of large
dimensio-s with him and began 10 do
things that did not meet the approval OF
the rest OF the family. At the Chaffee
street station lamont was searched. but
no bank book and but little ready cash
was found n his possession. so the fam
lily is at loss to know what became OF
the $500 Lamont says he hid the
money.
ASKED THE REASON.
Many OF those residing within hearing
distance OF st. Mary's church bell asked
why the bell was rung at so early an
hour yesterday morning. 1t is the Gus
tom of the sexton. Andrew Crane. TO
ring the bell at S minutes before in the
morning. 5 minutes before 12 at noon and
minutes before 6 in the evening. Those
who are in the habit Of marking time by
the ringing OF the bell ar minutes before
were yesterday morning somewhat puz-
zled. as they found that the ringing did
not correspond with their clocks or
watches. Later IL was explained that
the ringing was for the funeral Of Lau-
renee Coyne. which was held at an early
hour so the remains could be taken to
Woonsocket.
