WELLINGTON.

Rev. MT. Osborne of Hartford, who
 in the summer vacation of the pastor, i is again the guest of the Ayers fami-
 ly.
 It has been pleasant for Mrs Bald-
 win to have her daughter accompany
 her in a round of calls on friends in
 different parts of the town. They
 were on the Hill Friday afternoon.
 There is shapely house going up
 and nearing completion on the site of
 the Edward Morrison house, burned
 some weeks since. The prospects are
 brightening for the Kramer family,
 who have had hard time
 Preceding the sermon at the morn
 ing service W. H. Marsh gave a fine,
 lucid report of the Congregational
 state conference at New Haven, that
 he, with Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Gard
 ner, attended during the week as dele gates.
 There has not been so much build
 ing in town for many years as is
 being pushed forward at present The
 Mathews house, roomy two-story
 structure, that promises to be not
 only slightly and pleasant but most
 comfortable and convenient; the Jan
 sen cottage on the "Brislen" lot be-
 tween Daleville and East Wilmington
 the bungalow of Bernice Wilbur; the
 large house on the Le Grand Johnson farm and several houses made as good ! as new.
 As usual the church service was we'll attended, pleasant and helpful, l Rev. B. w. Darrow's sermon being | particularly fine, from John 6: 66 to 69th verses, and was not only an en- couragement but a warning to the faithful that resolves itself into matter of personal responsibility. At the Sunday school $3 was voted for the state Sunday school convention, the usual assessment, and it was voted that any member of the school able to be present at the meeting of the con- vention at the Fourth church, Hart ford, this week may register as dele gates from this school. Secretary F. W. Pratt reported 32 present Among these we noted six teachers, who are certainly setting a good example Miss Lillian G. Mathews, Miss Ethel Potter, Miss Mabel Elaine Clarke, teaching in town; Miss Helen Nich- ols, Mansfield Depot; Miss Parkinson and MT. Tiffany, Holland side.
 As much sympathy is felt for the Allen family, who lived for some time on the Samuel Nichols farm inI the Glass Factory district, and much interest has been expressed as to the particulars of the shocking accident that caused the death of the oldestt son, we give the following from the Springfield Republican of last Thurs day, the 14th. The funeral was Sat nrday p. m, Rev. MT. Darrow offici- ating. The burial was here in the new cemetery extension: Frank Ellsworth Allen, 21, while on his first trip as a freight train brakeman, fell beneath the wheels and was in- stantly killed Tuesday night, when the train on which he was working was passing by Clairmont Junction. It is the opinion of the train crew that he fell between two cars, while along the roofs toward the rear end of the train, perhaps missing his foot-hold by the sudden jolting of the cars over switches. The young man was missed at the stop at Wind sor. A wire was sent back over the line, with orders to search for him, and his mangled body was found at the north end of the Clairmont Junc- ion yards. The trainmaster was notified, and he communicated with ' MT. Aliens parents in Morrow. MT. Allen came to Springfield last July , 0 accept position in the assembling department of the Bosch magneto company. He was we'll liked by all who knew him, and his death comes IS blow to his friends in this city. 7, t had long been his ambition to work /. on railroad. He was notified last ' that place as brakeman vas open, so he left the employ of $ he Bosch company and reported inn ,, nediately at the yards for work. He made no trips till Monday, when he vas sent to Amherst and beyond with ' | wrecking train. Tuesday morning z le left his boarding house at about 10 o'clock for his first regular trip. He leaves, besides his parents in Mer- ow, five brothers and sisters. His mother and two sisters had been in his city to visit him last Saturday. He was member of the local junior E 'rder of Moose.''
