to the spirit of the day by sending out
about 20 small trees, with gifts and
decorations to the homes OF these who
were shut in, or for other reasons
unable to go to the church.

gatherings of this year took place at
The House. Speedwell Farms, where Mr..

When the smoke and dust cleared away,
it was seen the street had been opened
from doorstep TO doorstep over an area
of nearly a block. The lOoSened earth
and debris had fallen into the excavation,
burying the score of laborers who were
at work when the accident happened.
Great tongues of flames shot from crew
