 cross-head of the locomotive, and the 1 train was without motive power.
 When the secoEd section of the train l arrived it was held at the Westerly I-station for while and then orders came to push the disabled train to a siding in Stonington.- This was done and the second section became the 1 first section proceeded to New Lon-l

 While all the sidewalks in Dixon square were long free from snow and ice, except that in front of the First Baptist church. there remained in ] front of that edifice near the entrance quite a pile of ice,- until new noon of
 Saturday. The church is evidently Without 'janitor, as well as without
 a pastor, as. this sidewalk was cov-
 cred with snow and ice, while other
 walks in the Section had ..been clear
 ed. When all the ice and snow had disappeared elsewhere, that pile of ice remained in a sheltered place near ,i the church entrance.
 The non-removal bore on the nerves of John s. Coy. aged S6, perhaps the , oldest member of the church. He
 borrowed an ice spade and a shovel p and went at it. He succeeded in re- g moving large portion of the ice. and f then realized that he was not as l young as when he figured in the
 coasting accident on Fox Hill Nor : wich, nearly fifty years ago with a Q party of New Londoners, and when s several were seriously injured.
 He was resting on his self imposed : task, when James -E. Kennedy, GUS todian Nof the Memorial and Library , building, went to his assistance. The
 ice was removed and Mir. Coy fell satisfied. Years ago MT. Coy wal Q steward of the Crocker house in New e London and his last employment wa. i. in the hotel business in Chicago. Lti A special musical service will fea. 1t ture the observance of Good Friday il
