where by the light of thirty japanese
iack-c-lanterns marched in body to
the house where they instituted sur
prise Halloween party on Miss Grace
M. Harrison, who was spending a few
days vacation at home with her par
ehts.
The evening was spent indoors play
ing games. Refreshments were served
in the dining room on dainty Japanese
ware, with all the necessary Hallowe en-
decorations in evidence-t light OF
100 Pickering candles giving the whole
avery pretty and appropriate effect.
AS fitting climax to the evenings 8
programme, large portrait of herself,
which she had never before seen, was
presented to Miss Harrison. Every
one reported most enjoyable even
ing. Those present were the Misses
Pansy and Myrtle Duckett, Pearl
Walker, Nora Nelson, Jennie and Edna

Train Kills Two.

Mr.. Mason Josiah Gray and his wife,
Mary L. Gray were killed late last
Saturday evening on the freight divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad at
the Beaver Dam trestle near their
home in Tuxedo. Funeral SERVES were
held from the undertaking establish
ment of Francis Gasch, in Bladensburg,
on Tuesday morning and the bodies in
tered in St. Mary's cemetery in Wash
ington. Rev. Frank A. Schwallenberg,
of Seat Pleasant, of1ciated.
Mason ]. Gray, SIS years of age, was
employed by contractor E. G Gummei,
of Washington. He was blacksmith
by trade and had shop in Tuxedo near
his home. Saturday afternoon his wife,
40 wears old, went to Washington to
meet him, leaving their five children,
the eldest of whom is Is years of age,
a. home. Mr.. and Mrs. Gray Wen to
market in Washington and were seen
on the electric car that reaches the
terminus of the road at Kenilworth at
$50. Laden with supply of provis-
ions, the husband and wife took the
shortest route to their home in Tuxedo
over the freight tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad bent on seeing their
little ones whom they knew were alone
in the house. The distance from the
terminus of the electric road to the
Beaver Dam trestle is about quarter
of mile.
A distressing feature of the case is
that five small children are left orphans
as a result of the accident. Their
names are: Mason Josiah Gray, Jr, Is
years, Louise, 13years, Lesser, 10years,
Maurice, 8 years and Aloysius, years.
Louise attends one of the high schools
in Washington, and all of the little ones
are exceptionally bright. Their pitiable
plight has aroused the sympathy Of the
neighborhood, and help is generously
extended. The children are now at
home in care of an aunt, Mrs, Lexicon
of Pennsylvania.
Hiss Ethel Pryor, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. F. Pryor, was particularly
energetic in providing for the immediate
needs of the children, and in fe"
hours Sunday afternoon collected over
S25 among the generous hearted OF
Tuxedo.

SENT TO NEW FIELDS
Twenty National Bank Examiners Or
dered Transferred.

Washington, D. c.. September T.
Twenty national bank examiners
about one-flfth of the force employed
by the government-were transferred
to new fields to-day by an order from
Lawrence O. Murray. Comptroller of
the Currency.
Following closely on the sudden call
for condition of national banks. which
was made on September 2, and the an
nouncement OF the comptroller that he
would in the future personally pass
upon applications of banks which
wished to hold reserves. the shake-up
among the examiners Is taken as an
other indication of the determination
TO enforce TO the letter the provisions
of the national bank act The call for
condition, 1t is now learned, was spe-
cially issued to meet the assertion
that the calls had been made at such
regular intervals that bankers knew
about when to expect them and man
aged to arrange their affairs accord
ingly.
The object of the changes, it was
said at the Treasury Department, is
to throw the examiners into fresh
fields where personal acquaintance or
possibility OF influence is lacking.
These examiners will exchange dis
tricts: Fred "A Hull, Western Virginia
and North Carolina, with John A Arm
