"This movement is an effort to
make some arrangements whereby the
responsibility of such accidents as the

law. Some provision by which trolley
cars would be compelled to have per-
manent headlights. which would not be
affected by the breaking of the trolley

of the headlight. A car In this condi-
tion is liable to be run down. at night.

cuts of this kind have been narrowly
averted and in one or two cases no

"Provision should also be made by
which the passage of the trolley ears
through crowded streets should be
rendered less dangerous to the general
public. In New Havon and other large
cities this duty devolves upon the po-
lice to a certain extent. but there the

stored whether he wills in the local
suit or not.
The Rev. Beuiamin F. Root, J.l ., of
Bridgeport is at present acting aster
of the church. but he resigned a De-
camber. and at a council held lecsntly
it was voted that his relationship with
the church should be dissolved on
March 8 His departure at a period
that is looked upon by some of tho
church people as critical. leaves the
society in an awkward position. No
attempt has been made to fill the va
dancy that will exiat, and In the lack
of action there may be an embryo plan
to make Ml. Arthur again pastor.
Mr. Root speaks in the high“ terms
of the treatment he was accorded dur-
ing his pastorate. and the council that
dismissed him attests to his loyalty lo
the church. The resolution it adopted
reads:
“We commend Vhlln highly as a faith-
in] and earnest preacher of the gospel.
and a most devoted pastor."
The reasons for Mr. Root's resigns
tlon have never been clearly given.
While pastor he used discretion and
held aloof from the factional fights in
the parish. always upholding the
church against attack. He had a dif-
ficult task at times, and it is believed
that the prolongation of the dispute
had something to do with his leaving.
Not all. however. as he has promise of
a large field of work In a parish in
Maesae health;
it has been alransed to have minis
torn from neighboring towns fill the
pulpit pending the calling of another
pastor. The deacons will in the mean
time be In charge of affairs. Those op-
posed to Mr. Arthur will «intuitions op-
pose delay in filling the pulpit. for with
another pastor installed, they can feel
safe against his return.
During the time that other matters
are in the process of settlement or fur-
ther disintegration. there may be an-
other chapter of the part of the cou-
ieut that relates to the recent arrest
of Miss Ficll secretary of the church.
The warrant was issued by Grand
Juror Treadwoll, and since Miss
Fitch’s discharge he says that this;
statements were made him to in
duce hlln to issue the e or of arrest.
He now proposes to punish the com-
plainant f0l causing an unnecessary
arrest. George S Allen made the
complaint, and the townspeople are
waiting anxiously to learn if Mr. Tread-
well will prosecute him.
