FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Brother of Former Canaan Residents
 Meets Death on Engine.

Eugene Lake, the engineer on the Winsted- New York express, that crashed into standing freight train, on the siding at Beacon Falls at 7'oclock last Friday evening, was one of the Lake brothers, we'll known in Canaan and along the line of the Central New Eng. land railway few years ago.
 The brothers, James, Charles and George at one time lived in Canaan, the house where John Flynn lives be. ing built by the first named.
 Eugene Lake had been an engineer on the New Haven road for 34 years and had resided in Bridgeport for the last 17 years. He is survived by his widow and one daughter.
 Charles Slack, the fireman, of Water bury was also killed. both he and En- gineer Lake being pinned in the cab of their engine which crushed through the caboose of the freight. Both were evidently killed the instant the trains came together, neither having time to jump.
 The express, drawn by the big mogal engine, one of the heavest in the pas. senger service ou the line, was running about 40 miles an hour. Just south of the Beacon Falls station, at which the expresses do not stop, the train sud- denly left the main track for the siding on which freight had been waiting for 40 minutes.
 In the crash that followed three cars of the express were derailed and the passengers severely shaken up, but none received severe injuries. Aside from the two killed on the engine none of the tram crew sustained injuries that prevented them from going to their homes.
 Had it not been for the all steel con. struction of the cars composing the train, the loss of life would probably have been great as the train was well filled with passengers. Investigations as to the cause of the wreck were inn medlately begun by local, state and railroad authorities. The fiagman and brakeman of the freight train are being held under $2, 500 bonds each pending the result of the investigation.

Special to The Weird.
BARTLESVlLLE, okla. Sept. so
II is not often two preachers claim
the same job. especially in oklahoma
where preaching is not the most prof
table business but such is the case
in the Church of God in BartlesVille
Rev. George l.. Chapman, pastor of
the church the past two years, con-
tnucs to preach and refuses to sur
render his pulpit. Reverend Schu-
mann, sent here from Ffndlay. ONO.
says he is the regularly appointed
pastor and has told the congregation
t4c+ he IS the one who is to hand out
the word of the Lord in the Church OF
COD here.
That is the way matters stand in
the church. The congregation is about
equally divided between the two
preachers. The trouble started some
time ago when certain members be-
came dissatisfied With the Reverend
Chapman and asked 20 have him re-
moved. The question to be determined
is g., which minister has been rcgu-
mrly appointed As time goes by the
situation becomes more complicated.
but trouble of serious nature is not
looked for.
