On Death Of Frank Hayden.
The Public Utilities Commission

in the death Of Frank Hayden of Hal

class train No. 220, Fort Fairfield to
Phair, at a point on the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad about seven tenths
miles south of Easton, at 7.54 P. M,
August II, 1915, and instantly killed.
Hayden and another man, both
somewhat intoxicated, had called at
Easton at $40 P. NJ, and claimed
box containing II quarts Of whiskey,
which they opened, placing the whis-
key in a bag. Then they started down
the track, and soon met the above
train, then bound from Phair to Fort
Fairfield as No. 225. They did not
leave the track until the engineer had
sounded the whistle and made two
service applications of the brakes.
The man carrying the bag fell down
after he left the track. and the other
waved his hand at the men on the
passing engine.
1T is clear that Hayden was on the
track drunk when he was struck and
caught by the train and that no blame
attaches to the railroad company or
its employees"

Death Of Emile Brassard

The Public Utilities Commission on
Wednesday rendered a decision in the
matter of the accident on the prem
ises of the Maine Central Railroad at
Anson on Aug. IL last resulting in the
death of Emile Brassard, of Anson,
who was riding with Louis LeClair and
c. F. Loring at 1.57 P. NJ. August Is,
1916 when his team came in collision
with Maine Central southbound pas
senger train No. 255. on the highway
crossing next west of Arson station.
Brassard was thrown out and instant
ly killed. Loring was severely injured
and was unconscious for a short time.
LeClair did not appear to be seriously
hurt, and ran away from the scene of
the accident before the trainmen got
back from their train.
Persons taking freight from the sta
ton observed both the train and the
team approaching the crossing and
testified that the horse was going at
an ordinary clip until within a few
rods of the crossing, when the driver
began to whip him, evidently trying
to get ahead Of the train There was
even then ample opportunity to have
stopped, or turned the horse into the
station yard.
We find that the accident was due
entirely to the carelessness of those
responsible for the control and man.
agement Of the horse, and that no
blame is attributable to the Maine
Central Railroad Co. or its employees"

cleaner at the round house Of the

crushed between two freight cars in
the company's Portland yard at about
$40 p NJ, August Is, 1916, and died
while being removed to a hospital.
mo one saw the accident. or knows
exactly how it occurred. We find that
John Lesminskis death was caused by
his attempting to pass between two
cars about to be coupled and being
caught between them owing to lack of
sufficient care on his part. that he was
not then in the performance Of his
duties. nor in a place where they re-
auired him to be. and that neither the
Portland Terminal Co. nor any Of its
employees was at fault

Death Of Edward Binett


The Public Utilities Commission has
rendered a decision in the matter OF
the accident on the premises of the
Grand Trunk Railway opposite the
station at Bryant's Pond, resulting in
the death Of Edward Binett. In clos
ing it says: I'VE are convinced
from all Of the statements and cir
cumstances that Binett was not
passenger on the train. but that he
met his death while riding as a tres
passer on some part Of the train out
side, and not inside Of the cars-and
this without giving particular weight
to the statement Of his brother quoted
above. There is no evidence Of neg
ligence on the part of the utility or its
employees"

Union Service in New Gospel
Hall Draws Crowd; Citi-
zenship Discussed

A union service for Filipinos was
recently held at the new Gospel Hall
in Beretania street under the direction
of Rev. G. G. Ramirez, superintendent
OF the Filipino mission, and Evangelist
w. E. Pietsch. Eight nationalities
and dialects were represented. The
testimonies given were inspiring and
gave evidence that the Gospel of Je-
sus Christ was able to cement in the
bonds of Christian love and fellow
ship, the aim and object of the mis-
sicnaries working in these islands.
Rev. c. c. Ramirez opened with pray
er, and the address was given by
Evangelist Pietsch from the verses Of
Hebrews 10-11: For He looked for a
| city which had foundations whose
builder and maker is God"
Speaking on the subject, True Citi-
zenship or Citizenship of Heaven"
Evangelist Pietsch said, in part:
THE great subject under discussion
at the present particularly for the Fill
pinos, is citizenship, and great many
are interested in becoming American
citizens. Our influence can be used
in a measure to help in this discus
sion, and vet as missionaries who are
preaching the Gospel of our Lord Je-
sus Christ, believe that the first and
essential thing to true citizenship Is
to have Jesus as our personal Saviour.
There has been, and is, good
many who hint that this bill be en-
acted on account of their behavior. We
have the Japanese, Chinese, Hawaii
ans, Scotchmen, the Irish, the German
American, the various dialects which
are all represented here tonight, and
by having the Lord Jesus Christ as
our personal Saviour, we can take
each others hands and call each other
brothers, thoughfthe color of our skin
may differ, but we do know there is a
response in each of our hearts to all
those who speak well of Gods Son.
1--WE may not all see alike, but we
can say Amen to John 3-16 and
Acts 1851, which says, Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved. What we all need to know,
here tonight is, that Abraham looked
for that city which, had foundation
whose Builder and Maker is. God He
was heavenly citizen Kingdoms
rise and fan, but this city and king
dom shall never fail. 1t is based on
the value of the finished work of Je-
sus Christ, who Is the same yesterday,
today and forever.
In closing. may !, ask, are you a
heavenly citizen of that country, and
are you not proud to defend these IN
terests as You would the American
nag? We invite you to come to Jesus
Christ tonight, who personally invites
you to become citizen of that coun-
try by accepting Him as your personal
Seviour, and you can come yourself
tonight by trusting Him alone.

"Seven Last Words of Christ"
Sung BY Chorus of 1870 IA
mehameha Students

On Easter Sunday night at Central
Union church a chorus OF $50 voices
from the Kamehameha schools will
render the cantata, The Seven Last
Words Of Christ. by Theodore Dubois.
This is the third consecutive year
that the school chorus has sung this
music, and the present outlook indi-
Gates that Sunday nights perform
ance will surpass any of the previous
attempts.
THE Seven Last Words of Christ"
has gained such place In the hearts
of music lovers in many cities Of the
mainland that II Is repeated year after
year in some Of the principal musical
centers throughout the country.
George A. Andrus, the director Of the
Kamehameha. chorus, first got &C.

famous for its music, and the student
body became so fond Of this tragic
cantata of the Cross, that Il was re-
peated there every Easter season for
years without exception. People would
come three hours before the music
was to be sung and line up outside the
church door to get seats.
On account Of the limited capacity
of the chapel at Kamehameha, and
also in view Of the fact that the organ
Is not reliable, 1t was thought best
to give the music in Central Union
church. Central Union very kindly
shifted its special Easter music to the
morning service, so that Kamehameha
might use its spacious auditorium.
Miss Gertrude NJ. Knowles. who has
charge of the music Of the Kamehame-
ha Girls school, will play the organ.
