R. A. Sigler this week placed on
one of his transfer wagons a fine
new team of big black horses, and
Monday afternoon they ran away at
the depot. The. team was in charge
of James Still, and he had driven
in by the side of car to get load
of freight. A freight engine which
was doing some switching in the
yards, came along, and at the same
time a farmer came driving towards
the track and apparently did not
see the engine, SO the engineer gave
several sharp warning blasts just as
he was beside the dray team. Matt
Pullen was holding them by the
heads, and Still had hold of the
lines, but they could not hold them
and they ran down along the tracks
until the dray dropped into a ditch,
which stopped them. The horses
were not injured, but couple of the
dray wheels were smashed and the
harness torn up some. The en-
gineer said it was his fault, as he did
not see the dray team, and was
afraid he would hit the farmer or
his team.

HOLY NAME SOCIETIES
 PLAN FOR DEMONSTRATION
Enthusiastic Meeting Held in St. Augustine's Chapel Last Evening
 to Perfect Arrangements.

The Holy Name Society of every Catholic church in this city as well
 churches of neighbcring towns ir
 Fairfield county will participate in 8
 monster parade to be held in this city
 oa Sunday afternoon, Nov. r. Ar
 engagements for the parade were for
 mulated at a, meeting of delegates
 from the various churches last even
 ing in the vestry of St. Augustine'e
 church. The following churches were represented at the meeting last even
 ing, St. Augustine's, St. Mary's, St. Peters, St Patrick's, St. Charles, eph's, St. Mfchaers, Holy Rosary, St Cyril and Methodius, St. Stephens. all of this city. St. James of Stratford,

 Capt. John J. Mccarthy of Co F. Hibernian Rifles and county presf- dent of the A. o. H., was selected as the grand marshal of the parade His aides will be selected from the mem bership of the various societies, and will be announced later. The meeting voted that no banners or pennants ap- pear in the parade with the exception the American flag. The chaplain and the president of each society will form the reception committee Each society will form at it's own church from there to march to a central location where the procession will be viewed by Bishop John J. Milan Of Hartford and other officials. Following the parade there will service at St. Augustine's with a sermon by Bishop Milan.

 The object of the procession is to further the aim of the Holy Name society in carrying on a united battle against b1aspheiny and profane Ian- guage. Each member of the organi- zation has pledged himself not only 10 abstain from proea 1ity himself but to use his good influence in discour- aging the use of s1ch language among others In most of the churches there are two branches, the senior compos- ed of men and the junior of the boys of the parish. The membership is in CT easing in great numbers being coni- posed solely of Catholics.
 Rev. Thomas P. Mu1cahy, chaplain of St Mary's bra rch of the Holy Name society and designated by Bish- op Milan as the head of the organiza- tion in this county presided at the meeting last evening. John J. O'Neil was secretary.
