Children's Day at Trinity.

Interesting visitors, fond parents,
faithful pupils and beaming counte-
nances throughout, made children 6
day at Trinity Sunday, school de-
lightful occasion last Sunday after
noon. The auditorium was well filed
and the friends Of the school were
well pleased with the splendid man
ner in which the children carried out
their parts of the program. Moth
ing seemed to worry the children ais
they took their places following the
beautiful professional, and they each
arose to their part in the program
with a zeal and earnestness so pleas
ing to see. From the time when the
organist started the march for the
professional until the end when the
congregation all Joined In that old
hymn, Around the Throne of God In
Heaven" the exercises were most
pleasing. The teachers of the school
who trained the participants deserve
much credit and were congratulated
on every side by the visitors.
Such occasions as this children s
day are events in the life of the pu-
pills and in the history of the school.
They may have various purposes ani
lead to various ends, but the chief
aim is to impress the beautiful les
sons on the children themselves, and
on the others attending. The oc-
casion marks a time when the spring
months have passed and the summer
is just about to open. In most
schools there is always the summer
slump; Trinity is endeavoring to
ward off this and special plans are
being laid looking! to this end. This
was one of the purposes of the chill
dren's day exercises. The hope was
expressed last Sunday that many OF
those attending as visitors would
become permanent members of the
school.
The announcement was made from
the platform that the school Is be-
ing reorganized, the classes being re-
enrolled. A complete reclassification
will be undertaken in July. The
Bible Class is growing rapidly and
will continue to do so for some time
there being a great many of the chur-
ch members of Trinity who are not in
the school at present but who will
likely join. All residents of the
town, either permanent or temporary,
who are not connected with some
school are urged to come out and
very likely join. All residents of the
school. The Herbert Bible Class is
for all persons sixteen years or over;
for those under this age there are
special classes.

Account from Salters.

Salters, June 1O.-Innocent of an
almost certain death, James, the 2.
year-old son of. Mr.. Albert r. Nose
ley, of this place, toddled out in the
middle of the main track Of the At
lantic Coast Line, only a few yards
from his home, directly in front OF
a fast running freight train, at /
o'clock to-day, and was knocked ofl
by the monster freight engine.
The engineer saw the child too late
to bring his train to dead stop be.
fore hitting the child, although he ap-
piled the emergency brakes as soon
as possible, coming to stop about
three cars length past where the
child was struck.
A physician was called in imme.

that the child will recover.

FIVE AWAITED DEATH.
Speeding Locomotive Crashed into
Funeral Coach.

Haverstraw, N. Y, June g.
Three mourners their pastor and
their driver, sat in funeral coach
here this afternoon and watched GER
tain death come rushing on them at
so miles an hour. With screech
Of grinding brakes, heavy West
Shore freight engine, hurrying south
to pick up train at Weehawken,
crushed into the coach, scattering
it's occupants along the right OF way
and came to a stop $50 yards beyond
the crossing All the occupants were
either killed outright or fatally in
jured. The dead:
Romath, the Rev. A., pastor OF
the New City Methodist Episcopal
church; Seifred, E. ", New City, N.
Y; Seifred, Mrs. E. ", New City, N.
Y; Beebe, William, Haverstraw;
Kesslers, Mrs. Parry, William, Ha-
verstraw; Kesslers, Mrs. Parry, Ha-
verstraw. Mrs. Kesslers died several
hours after the accident.
Dramatic and Horrifying.
The accident was not only un-
usual but dramatic and horrifying to
a degree. 1t happened at the foot
of Graveyard Hill, in full sight of the
returning funeral procession, of
which the wrecked coach was the
first, and of the terrified and helpless
watchman.
The watchman was eating bite
of luncheon, in his little cabin, when
the tinkle of an electric bell warned
him of an approaching train. Me-
chanically he pulled the lever that
set the heavy, balanced gates in mo-
ton. Then glancing from the open
door, he saw a sight that will not
be out of his dreams for many a
night.
Just what happened will probably
never be known, but some eye-wit-
nesses say that the arrangements OF
the crossing gates, late in descend
ing, blocked the coach after it had
crossed the first Of two tracks and
held it a prisoner on the rails, while
the terrified occupants sat paralyzed,
gazing at the on-rushing locomotive.
Hopeless Effort to Escape.
The driver lashed his horses in a
futile attempt to force the vehicle
from the track, until, with a sharp
crack, the picture dissipated and 1t
seemed as If the coach literally blew
up. Fragments of splintered wood
and mutilated shreds of humanity
were flung far and wide. The en-
CINE stopped. There was absolute
silence, save for the hiss Of escaping
steam.
A search for the dead followed.
The bodies Of MIR. and Mrs. Seiferd
were found, side-by-side, fifty yards
down the track. The wife was just
returning from the burial Of her IA
ther,> by whose death she had come
into a tidy fortune.
Young Beebe, the driver, was the
son of wealthy livery owner. He
lay twenty yards nearer, stone dead.
The Rev. Mr.. Romath was the cler-
gyman who had officiated at the fu-
neral.
An inquest has been deferred,
pending fuller investigation of the
facts.

HEROIC DEED SAVES CHILD.
Thrilling Occurrences on Railroad
Near SalterS.

Kingstree, June 10.-information
has just been received here that the
two-year-old child Of Mr.. Albert R.
Moseley, Of Salters, while playing on
the railroad track, directly in front
Of it's home, at that place, had been
struck by an extra freight train,
south, knocking it from the track
and some distance away. Drs. Gam
BILE and Jacobs, of this place, went
hurriedly to render medical assist
ance, but very little hopes are enter
tanned for the child's recovery. Be-
sides internal injuries, which are
serious, the back Of the child appears
to be broken.
Injuries Not so Serious.
Later developments at Salters
show the child was not seriously in
jured as first reported. The act of
the engineer reads like fiction, in that
he saw the child on the track ahead;
putting on emergency brakes, he
rushed out of his cab, reached for the
child, and threw it off the track, see-
ing he could not stop the train. The
injuries, therefore, that the child re-
ceived were slight, resulting from the
fall after having been thrown by the
engineer. Had it not been for the
heroic act on the part of the engineer,
the child would doubtless have been
mangled to death under the train.
The first report was that obtained
from a person coming for the doctor.

FROM WASHINGTON
experience

After three hours OF questioning, the
Senate subcommittee, which is inresti-
eating the, third degree" was almost
ready to come to the conclusion today
that this much discussed evil practice
is not much in vogue among federal
officers. The committee, which con-
sis,s OF Senators Brandegee, Borah, and
Oycrmau, called upon Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, Chief Wilkie of the
secret service, and Chief Sylvester OF
the Washington police. The nearest
approach to the third degree was the
'phySic ladder" mentioned by Chief
Wilkie as a convenient mental altitude
by which the prisoner can descend to
plain facts Among the problems upon
which the senators tried to shcd some
light were the attempts by federal in
spcctors to influence homesteaders, the
watching OF jurors by men in the federal
employ, and the employment OF wit
ncsses by the government pending the
trial Of a case.

Presidents Ship Near Collision.

Hampton Roads, Va, Nov. o.
With the arrival here today OF President
Taft, it became known that tho cruiser
Tennessee, bearing President Taft home
from Panama barely escaped collision
Friday night at sea some 100 miles
south OF Cuba.
The Tennessee was steaming at the
rate of Is knots an hour followed,
about 900 yards behind by her sister
ship and convoy, the Montana. About
1l:3O tropical deluge of rain brought
black darkness. As the rain was clear
ing away an officer aboard the Tennes-
see made out the lights Of o big vessel
500 yards away and directly across
TIE bow of the cruiser. Her Captain
apparently saw the danger iu.t in tim e
and swung away, disappearing in the
mist before he could be spoken. 1t was
believed that the vessel was the German
trainingship, Freya. She did not res
pond 10 wireless calls. That the escape
was a narrow one is admitted. AT the
rate OF speed the Tennessee was travel
ing or would have been difficult to
have avoided collision and with the
Montana coming ahead 1000 yards
behind, collision would inevitably
have caused an impact OF three vessels.

TCESDAYj EVENING, NOV. ,.

THREE youthful highwaymcn shot
one hold.up victim to death, fired at
two others and allowed fourth man TO
90 after stripping him Of cash and over
coat in Chicago Sunday night. The
bandit trio committed the series OF
crimes on the northwest side OF that
city within the period Of IN hour. Fol
lowing the murder they are believed TO
have robbed fifth man. Five other
recent hold-up shootings are laid at
their door by the police. The blame
for many cases similar tothc above Is
often laid at the doors Of the writers Of
tlimsv books and the exhibition OF
vicious moving pictures. Juvenile de-
generacy is doubtless the real cause,
and the Unborn dcprav!ty Of certain
stripliugs is but fed BY base books and
pictures.

GET RICH-QUICK CONCERN.

Accused Members of Firm of Burr
Brothers Held in Absence of Bail
More Arrests to Follow-''Sucker''
List.
New York, Nov. 22.-Attorneys for
Shelton C. Burr, Frank II. Tobcy and
Eugene II. Burr, composing tile hrm
of Burr Brothers, the alleged aet-rich-
quick brokerage concern raided by the
postotiice inspectors yesterday, were to-
day scurrying to get bail for the men.
Despite the fact that Postmaster
General Hitchcock is authority for the
charge against the men and says that
the firm has secured approximately
$50, 900, 900 from the public since 1907
by the sale Of worthless securities, the
accused could not furnish bail Of Sl0,-
900 when arrested.
1t was said at the offices of the post
Office inspectors today that warrants
are in the hands of officials in various
sections Of the country and that many
arrests are impending.
Tho United States District attorneys
Office today began the presentation of
the complaints to the grand jury to So
cure speedy indictments,
Twenty girls and twelve men who
comprised the Office force OF the Burr
Brothers firm in the Flatiron Building
were sent before the grand jury to tell
what they knew OF the operations Of the
firm The grand jury also he's been
given sucker list, carefully indoxed,
and containing the names OF the per.
sons known to be willing 10 invest in
get-rich-quick schemes.
Inspectors are today looking for the
officials of the Continental Wireless
Telephone & Telegraph Company. One
official OF that concern, Charles L.
Vaughan, is now in the city prison in
default of SIC. 900 bail, and all OF the
officers are charged with using the
mails to dcfraud in warrants that have
been issued.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is in
personal charge of the present raids
and Inc said that the work has only just
begun. The department has deter
mined to cause the arrest of all stock
obbing enterprises where the mails
are depended on as medium for sales
and where there is no tangible property
TO warrant the circus advertising whicl.
is being carried on by many OF these
concerns.
The postmaster general said that his
Office has been dclugcd during the past
year with complaints against unscrupu-
lous promoters. Many people have
been lri by their insidiouS dealings TO
distrust the savings banks OF the country
and by means of advertisements promis-
| ing sure and large returns have invest
cL their money in schemes such as
were promoted by the men under arrest
only to lose all they had. The present
crusade. he said, will be continued un-
til AL of these get rich concerns are out
Of business.
