TRAIN DlSABLES AUTO
Dr.. G. A. Cloutier's Car Narrowly Es'
capes Destruction at Lewiston

According to the Lewiston Journal Of
Oct q, DR.. G. A. C1Dutier's Buick auto
had a very close call last Thursday
evening while at Lewiston, from COM
plete annibilation through being struck
by freight train, but a combination
of lucky circumstances the car was
damaged instead of destroyed. Regard
ing the accident the Lewiston Journal
said:
The foolhardy stunt of an Augusta
autoist who seems not yet to have
heard of Safety First" gave Gate
Keeper Thomas Gulet of the NJ C. r.
r. crossing at the Fair grounds, Lewis
ton, the scare of his life Thursday eve
ming.
The heavy freight from the north
had just whistled its approach, ac-
cording to the gate-keeper's story, and
the gates across Main street had been
lowered, when an automobile contain
ing two men, appeared from the direc-
ton Of Greene.
When the car reached the gates the
freight was about 500 feet up the track
and the driver of the auto apparently
considered it too great a waste of time
to wait for the long line of cars to
pass.
Mr.. Gulet observed the car take a
turn into the field beyond the gate
and then start for the tracks which at
that point were full height of the rails
above the ground level. The auto took
the first track all right, and also pass
ed the first rail Of the main line when
the back wheel stuck and the engine
died on the job.
In the second that followed, Gulet
saw the men jump from the car and
frantically push against it to get it
out Of danger Meanwhile the gate
keeper had seized the flag and was
vigorously signaling the engineer of
the approaching train to stop.
The freight came to a standstill neal
the gate house, but not before the au-
tomobile had been struck and thrown
from the track. Though the men had
reached safety before the collision, the
car suffered broken wheel, bent mud
guards and other minor injuries.
The number of the car was taken by
the gatekeeper, the automobile being
a Buick, 11745, Maine. Though the two
men at the time of accident left no
name. a car bearing this number is

gusta dentist, as owner.

act of war for everyone to witness and

them out again.
He next made friends with Villa, just

have recognized him then and there,

REV. CHARLES G. MOSHER
Who Announced Sunday Morning His
Resignation as Pastor Of the Penney
Memorial Free Baptist Church

Rev. Charles G. Mosher, pastor of the
Penney Memorial church, Augusta, re-
signed his passionate Sunday, after over
IA years of service with this church.
Mr. Mosher's pastorate has been a
notable one. When he came to the
church it was worshipping in it's old
structure on State street, which be-
cause of changed conditions was no
longer suitable for the needs of a
growing church.
During his pastorate a new church
building has been erected of granite,
modern in all it's appointments, one of
the finest in the State. and dedicated
to the memory Of DR.. c. F. Penney.
for many years the honored pastor of
this people. A new parsonage has also
been built on the lot adjoining the
church.
The congregations have increased in
size until they tax the seating capac-
ity of the new structure, which was
supposed to be large enough for city
the size of Augusta. Two hundred and
thirty eight people have been added to
the church membership during that
time, las of that number by baptism.

rapidly growing and seems to offer a
splendid opportunity for the kind of
work that Mr.. Mosher has been sue
cessful in doing. He leaves church

The text of Mr.. Mosher's resignation
was as follows:

ish, Augusta, Maine.
My Dear Friends:
On first thought it would seem an in
auspicious time to think of severing
the relations that have so long exist
ed between us as pastor and people.
Our work is constantly growing, per-
feet harmony exists and at no time
since the beginning of my ministry
with you has the pastoral relation been
more pleasant than now.
Yet the time for a change is most
auspicious, because the tide is con-
stantly rising, because the work, en-
Moving our hearts and hands is con-
tinuously growing. because of the per-
feet existing conditions my successor
can enter upon his duties under the
most favorable circumstances.
I shall not forget my pastoral expe-
riences here, shall not wish to for
ret them, shan ever held you all in
the kindest remembrance. have no
