DOES ABSENCE
SEVEN YEARS
PROVE DEATH?

Arguments were made In the supreme
court today on the appeal Of Ann Hackett
and another from a decree of the probate
court OF Woonsocket. This is petition
praying for administration on the estate
of Thomas F. Hackett. formerly Of the
Northern metropolis, but last heard from
at Carson City. New. in 1887. The su-
preme court years ago declared that the
statute providing that administration
might be taken out on the estates Of a
person absent and unheard OF for seven
years was unconstitutional and void. be-
cause administration could not be taken
out on the estate OF a living person.
Appellants do not depend upon this
statute. but claim that they are entitled
TO a finding OF fact upon the presumption
OF death arriving from person having
been absent and unheard OF for seven
years.

PENSIONS FOR
MINISTERS IS
HERvEY'S IDEA

Richmond Ind, May s.-To do away
with a feeling on the part of ministers
that they are objects of charity in Sc
curing the relief provided by the church,
a new spstem was proposed today TO the
general assembly Of the United Presby-
terian church.
This calls for a pension system, pro-
viding a definite sum after clergyman
has served a certain number OF years.
Rev. j. McA. ID. Hervey of Providence
is one of its strongest advocates.

HURT IN FREIGHT WRECK.
Fireman was Eating His Dinner I'm CaboOse
az Car Hit. s


Two freight trains on the line OF the
Northern Railroad Of New Jersey bumped
in front OF the Englewood station last night
and Fireman Joseph Beiler OF Nyack was
probably fatally injured.
An extra freight train under the charge
OF Conductor Samuel McDempsey left
Port Jervis, over the main Erie line, early
yesterday morning bound for the Bergen
freight yards in Jersey City. William
j. McKim Of Port Jervis was the engineer
and c. r. Duryea OF the same place fireman.
When the freight train pulled around
the curve into EnRlewOOd at full speed
it hit the rear end OF a long freight train
that had stopped in front OF the station
on the main track. The engine OF the
moving train tore straight through the
cab~ose of the second train n Owr-
tur neu tive cars ahead.
Fireman Joseph Beiler Of the train that
was stationary was sitting in the caboose
eating his dinner when the ngine Of the
Port Jervis train tore through the car.
He was thrown through the splintered
side OF the car onto the station platform.
When he was taken to the E~nglewood
hospital il was found that both legs were 80
badly smashed a. to necessitate amputa-
ton. He suffered sue loss Of blood that
the doctors fear that he cannot urvive.
Engineer McKim said after the accident
that no signals were set against him when
he pulled into the station, and that the
freight standing there did not have any
thai this was the first time that he had
made the run over the Northern Rail
road division and that he was necessarily
unfamiliar with the route.

Quite the match Of the day was the final
OF the Rentlemen's doubles, in which A. W.
Gore and A. II. Riseley met the Americans.
W. G. Grant and II. l., Westfall. 1t was a
ma gnihoent match, although the start did
not suggest IL would prove so. The Ameri-
can pair took some little time TO settle down.
but their opponents were well together from
the start. and Riseley's service, combined
with Cores driving, proved so irresistible
for a time that the Englishmen were soon two
sets to the good, From this point, however,
the Americans pla yed a great uphill game.
Grant was as cool as q cucumber-as per
haps one cough to expect the holder Of the
American covered court championship to be
and, while he scored repeatedly with his
speedy service and also got in many clever
placing strokes, Westfall was very smart at
the nets. In this way the Americans put a
vastly different compile xion on the state Of
affairs, and there was much excitement and
no little enthusiasm when they made the
match two sets all.
The final set was grandly fought, all four
players putting in all they knew to win.
At one stage the Americans reached 5-3
and 30 all in the next game. Two more
strokes woul have given them the set and
the match, but Gore and Riseley never
wsyered. and. creeping up gradually, they
made the games S all, and followed this up
by hooking the next two. Thus they won
the set by Us. and the match by three sets
to two. IL was altogether q thrilling contest,
in which almost as much credit went to the
conquered as to the conQuerors."
