Passing of the Evangelist.

The church evangelist seems to have
served his day, II he has not passed
on altogether. At least he is less con-
spicuous today than he was some
years ago, and his influence is more
restricted. A new order of worship
as we'll as thought in the church is
responsible for this change, and that
new order is simply a part of the
general transition toward a safer and
more permanent system of public ex-
preston. Conditions are not favorable
to the peripatetic preacher now, and
there are only a few of them of any
prominence whatever. Wilbur Chap
man, to be sure, may continue as he
sees At his activities indefinitely, for
the late John II. Converse endowed
him in his will for life, and aside from
that some means have come into Mr..
Chapmans family OF late years. But

Coroner Finds Death Unavoidable
Man Killed by East Lyme Trolley is Unidentified
Thought to be Farmland
Unidentified

Station II. The man had been orderly
while on the car, out it was evident
that he was drunk. When he got on
the. car he told the conductor that he
was going to Flanders Corners and
Mir. Thompson testified to having seen
the man board his car at this place on
previous occasions.
From the fact that a small wrench
usually used to tighten nuts on a
scythe, was found in the pockets of the
clothes, the conclusion is that he was
a farmer. That he was accustomed ia
being. out of doors is made clear by
the fact that his arms below the ell
bow are deeply tanned and had been
exposed to the arm. The only other
articles found in his pockets were plpa
and tobacco and pieces of broken glass
The man was badly cut up his left
leg being cut off below the knee, the
left arm at the elbow. HIS had numer-
Gus scalp wounds, but no fracture OF
the skull. while the face was not dis
figured. He was badly crushed inter-
nally.
At first it was thought the man was
Nicholas Bogardus but on Thursd9 y
afternoon a man who saw the BODY
thought it was that of a farmland
named Jack Hadley. employed by a
Mr.. Marvin at Grassy Hill, near Ham
burg.

Coroner Franklin H. Brown was in
New London Thursday morning and
conducted an investigation into the
circumstances of the death of the man
killed Wednesday night by the East
Lyme electric car. From the testi-
mony given by the motorman of the
car which killed the man and the con-
ductor of the car from which the man
alighted at Station IA Coroner Brown
was of the opinion that the killing was
unavoidable.
George Austin testified that the car
which he was running was going over
a knoll near Station Ia when on get
ting over the knoll he saw, the form of
the man on the tracks. The car was
at that time about thirty feet away and
despite his efforts to bring it to a
stop. the ear struck the man. The
headlight on the car did not reveal the
man because as the car was going over
the knoll the light was flashed up
wards and above the place where the
man was lying. He assisted in picking
the injured man up, and the odor of
liquor was very strong.
George w. Thompson testified that
the man boarded his car at the parade
in New London and that after collect
ing the first fare the man was unable
to pay the second and so alighted at

OBITUARY..
BENJAMIN 0. Lyon.

Benjamin Orlando Lyon. a lifelong
resident of MontvilIe. died at his home
in Palmertown on Wednesday at 1880
a. m. Mr.. Lyon, who was d little over
ga years of age. has been a very sick
nan for upwards of q year and has
suffered from an affection of the heart,
with other complications, for a long
time.
OF robust frame and unfailing genial
manner, few We're really aware n the
serious nature of his illness and his
death came as a distinct shock to his
numerous friends. Mr.. Lyon is sur
vived by his wife and by an uncle.
Era stus d. Lyon. Several cousins also
survive among others being Albert,
Charles and Orrin Avery and Charles
Lyon. Mr. Lyon was born in New
London. but has spent all his life in
M ntvilia. For many years he has
mace a business of dealing in real es-
tate, timber tracts being a speciality,
and for several years he has operated
q power sawmill cutting UP smaller
tim Der for firewood. While he always
took a keen interest in political affairs,
h. never, so far a s can be asceTtained,
held any public office. He was gener-
Gus to a degree and was held in high
esteem by a wide circle of friends.

STATE OR PERSONAL TAX
Takes the Place of the Military and
Poll Taxes Hereafter.

At the first of October one of the
most troublesome dutiesof the tax col
lector, the collection of the military
and poll taxes, was abandoned, and the
new state or personal tax took IT'S
place. This is q tax of 50. s. per cent
of which will go to the state and Is
per cent. to the town, to Pay the cost
OF collecting ii.
The making of the enrolment was
formerly the duty of the assessors. but
under the new law it must be made
bv the registrars, and it is safe to say
thai those gentlemen will not welcome
the change.
~; tt ere are many persons who do
not understand about this tax, it
might be interesting to know that ev-
esy r..ale citizen between the ages of
q and 10 is liable to pay a poll tax
Of 81. Unless a member of the fire
department, militia or otherwise eX
empt, they are liable to a military tax
OF S. between the ages o. 81 and As
and when liable for this tax, DO not
have to pay the two taxes. or, in
other words, the military tax includes
the y Il tax. When the man reaches
the age of As and is not exempt from
the military tax he is then dropped
froil the tax and pays the 81 poll tax
until 70 years of age. So from the
atcve. it will be seen that every man
oJer 81 is liable to either one or both
of these taxes and must, according 10
TIE law, pay the collector There is A
sac law that calls for arrest and de-
tention for the non payment of these
taxes.
AS the collection of the military and
poll taxes has been a source of much
trouble throughout the state, the new
law will be received with rejoicing by
the different officials. But its going
into effect in October does not mean
that the taxes due under the law pre-
vious TO Oct. / will not have to be
paid.
