A MUNSEY CAR RUINED.
T. La MARI Drove His Machine Into
Bridge to Prevent Hitting Woman.

The only thing that occurred Mon
day to mar the progress of the
Munsey tour was early last evening
when one of the belated tourists was
on his way to Waterbury and just as
he was about to reach the old covered
bridge this side of the village, he
practically ruined his machine in or
der to escape running over woman.
woman stood near the bridge and
evidently did not hear the approach
of the car and as it was just about
dusk at the time the driver did not
notice her until he was within COM
paratively short distance from her.
But with this handicap, all would have
been well if the woman had retained
control of her head. However, she
first attempted to dodge this way and
then the other and in her confusion
finally stood still, not knowing which
way to turn.
The driver of the machine was then
presented with the alternative of rum
ming down the woman or losing his
machine and taking a chance on his
own limbs and those of his friend,
and he choose the latter without hes
itation. One of the front wheels was
smashed into splinters as the mach
inc plunged into the end of the bridge
and the body of the car was damaged
seriously. Its mechanism was put
completely out of commission.
The two occupants of the car view
ed the wreck, but without word OF
comment walked to the Waterbury
Inn, where they registered as 81. La
Mari and friend. They retired
early, the Journal being unable to
reach them by phone last night.

Apparently through failure to

through freight bound north and a
light engine bound south came to-
gether between West Berlin and
Northfield Falls about 500 o'clock on
Sunday morning and six trainmen
were killed. Gasoline from a tank
car ignited and the resulting fire con-
sumed the wreckage and most of the
bodies. The first train to pass the
wreckage was the New England

rived at the Junction shortly after II
o'clock last night.
The light engine was going to
Mortified to pick up the militia COM
papy at that place and an order should
have been sent to hold the freight at
that place, but it is said to have arriv-
ed after the train had gone. The sta
tionman at Northfield Falls tried to
stop the train and brakeman on top
of the cars started for the engine, but
was too late and met his death. The
other dead men Were in the cab of the

compounds, demolished the light To-
comotives tender and Is cars behind

fire left nothing but scrap iron, which
simplifed the work of salvage. Hun
dreds of people visited the scene dur
ing the day and at one.time over $50
Iteams and autos were parked nearby.
The accident occurred nearly oppos-
ite the cold spring water trough, about
mile and half below Northfield

BUTTER MENTIONED IN BIBLE
Genesis Has First Account Of the Use
Of This Now Widely Popular
J !, DeIicacy.

The first mention of butter occurs in
Genesis XVIII, in the account Of the
entertaining of three angels by the
prophet Abraham. Abraham's wife,
Sarah. had been set to make cakes.
and Abraham ran unto the herd. and
fetched calf tender and good" and 1t
was dressed. When all was ready for
the feast, we are told in the eighth
verse of the chapter quoted "And he
'(Abraham) took butter and milk, and
the calf which he had dressed, and set
1t before them; and he stood by them
under the tree, and they did eat" The
butter here referred to was. however.
NOT the same as the butter which is SO
widely used in the western countries
today, but is said to have been more
IN the nature Of curdled milk. Prob
ably olive oil occupied the same posi-
ton IN the dietary Of those days that
butter does among US. It is believed
by the Arabs that the process Of ma
king butter was divinely revealed to
Abraham, who handed the knowledge
OF 1t to the world through his poster
ity; others assert that when Hagar,
with her child, was sent away by
Abraham and was perishing with
thirst in the wilderness, an angel
brought her a refreshing draft Of
this oriental nectar" which has ever
since been held in the highest esteem
by all true Ishmaelites.

-FOUR CHILDREN AT PRAYER
Peculiar Petitions to the Throne Of

The late Bishop Foss at dinner at
his Arch street residence in Philadel-

evening of children's prayers.
"That study Of evil-in novels or
plays-teaches US to avoid evil" he
said, "is very doubtful theory. A
Bala mother told her little boy one day
OF the children of Israel and their wor.
ship of the golden calf. and the next
day she found the urchin In the stable
praying to his pony.
"a little girl was hidden to return
thanks In her, prayers for the healthy
birth of baby brother. She did So
concluding the prayer reproachfully
with: But. Lord, we needed a motor
car far more
"a boy of seven showed a spirit we
might all emulate when. in the midst
of storm, he prayed: Please, God
don't hurt me! I'm only very, very
little boy
Another boy. as he rose from his
knees at his bedside, was reminded
that he hadn't prayed for grandma's s
safety
