right to that title. Proud may we well be to call them our heroes. and grate- full beyond expression may we becom- ingly be for the splendid heritage they under Gods favor bequeathed unto us. Had they not answered with their lives when their country. called, what think you would have been the conse- quences? Had they not faced the deadly guns of rebellion and subdued secession on It's own ground, our flag would have been torn forever from the heavens, trailed in the dust, and our great union would have been broken into fragments. Had they not battled States of America would have been stricken from the map of the world, and the one safest asylum for the op- pressed of all climes would have been compelled to shut its doors in the face of fugitives from galling despotism. Had these heroes refused to stand where the tempestuous leaden hall beat them into the ground. history's finest experiment of civil self government would have been pronounced a failure, and tyranny throughout the earth would have frightened it's reins and pressed its iron heel more firmly upon humanity's neck. Instead of liberty and union, as we have 1t today. there would have been a confederacy with | states and territories would have been cut up Into petty republics similar to those of South America and continual strife would have disturbed the land from ocean to ocean. Have you ever duly considerei what a stupendous un- dertaking it was to put down the re- bellion and save the union? It was no easy conquest. On southern battle fields we met foemen worthy of our steel We who tested them at Fort Donslson or Shiloh, Vicksburg or Mo-
 tile, Stone River or Chickainauga, Ap- tietam or Gettysburg, Wilderness or Cold Harbor, Winchester or Petersburg in the numerous campaigns-east or west-did not doubt their bravery. When American met American the tug of war was something awful. It was enough to make men tremble and shudder-enough to make angels weep. When American met American with equal advantages on both sides 1t was like the irresistible coming up against the immovable. It Is said that at Cold Harbor ten thousand union soldiers fell dead or wounded in twenty minutes h other battles whole companies and regiments were nearly plotted out. The per cent of loss in our battles far ex- ceeded that of Wellington or Napoleon at Waterloo. More desperate fighting Is not recorded in the annals of war fare thar that in the struggle for our flag.

FREIGHT CAR RUNAWAY
 ON MoNTVlLLE SPUR TRACK.
Several Marrow Escapes Along th
 Route During Ten Minutes.

Route During Ten Minutes.
 At express speed an open freight car of the Central Vermont Railway com pany went Wildcast Friday, says a Montville correspondent and after gaining all the momentum possible on the down grade run between the c. M. Robertson company's property in Pal mertown on the branch line. dashed around the curves at the junction with the main line in Uncasville and banged into two dead cars on the side track near the station. The car which went wild was loaded with sand which is being dug out by the company at the upper end of the branch line. How the car started 1t not known.
 All the children in the Uncasville school were out playing near the grade crossing when the car came along. They heard the noise 1t made so got out of danger The car started soon after 12.30 p. m, as it reached Uncasville about 12.40 p. m.
 There were several narrow escapes. The northbound trolley car from New London had cleared the crossing not, @ minute before. Jane McGinnis, who IS around the crossing frequently, had to be almost forcibly pulled away from the tracks. At the railroad station

 The sand car is a total wreck and lies mass of twisted iron and splin- tered wood about 100 feet south of the station. It is No. 7s57 of the c. V. line. It struck car 76751 of the N. Y, N. H. & H. Co., big box car with a load of railroad ties and heavy lumber. In front of the box car was a flat car with heavy steam roller and sprink- ling cart owned by the Lane Construc- ton Co.. which built the new macadam road. These two cars were hurled back along the track some fifty feet, the box car being wrecked considerably. both ends being splintered. How the runaway car stayed on the track around the sharp curves is a mys- tery.
 Several similar runaways have hap pened on the branch in recent years. fortunately unattended with accident to any person.

The Grand Army had a particularly fine day for their Memorial day exer- cises on Monday, quite in contrast to last year, and the result was large attendance of veterans in the parade, those marching numbering forty-four, while along the line of march and at the exercises there were many hum dreds of people. Throughout the city there was a conspicuous display of flags and at the cemeteries much work had been done decorating the graves.
 The parade started promptly at o'clock under the guidance of Marshal James Harvey and was reviewed at the foot of Cliff street by the city and town officials in carriages, who brought up the rear, the procession having formed in front of the Buckingham Memorial In. the following order:

 Benches were provided for the veter- ans and the officers and quests were seated on the platform Vine s. Stet- son. commander. presided over the ex- ercises. Rev. Joseph F. Cobb, pastor of the Universalist church, invoked the Divine blessing. following which Past Commander George S. Smith read Com nander Stetson's address as follows:
 Comrades:-The duty of today is of impressive significance. We meet to honor our dead and to deepen our rev. erence for their worth; to strengthen among ourselves the bond of frater- nifty by recalling the memory of experi- ences common to us aH to encourage more generous charity for our com rades who are sick or in distress. and for the destitute wards of the Grand Army. to renew our pledge of loyalty to our country and our flag, and to emphasize in the minds and hearts of all who may unite with us the privi- lege and duty of patriotism.
 It is expected that throughout our services each one will manifest the most courteous and reverent decorum. Let our soldierly department be such that we may worthily honor the graves we decorate, the memories we cherish,
