One of the saddest accidents that
has happened in this vicinity in years
occurred Saturday afternoon shortly
after 2 o'clock in Rowayton. when
Richard Crockett, the fifteen-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crockett. of
that place, was fatally shot in the left
side by the accidental discharge of a
Flobert rifle in the hands of a boy
friend, Louis Raymond, who. in com«
pany with Joseph K'linefelter. also of
Rowayton. had gone out for an after-
noon's hunting with Crockett. The
injured boy was taken to the Norwalk
hospital, where everything possible was
done to save his life. bllt the efforts of
the physicians were unavailing. as the
wound was fatal from the first. 'i he
boy died at the hospital last night at
7 o'clock.
The accident occurred off Cross
street, about in the center of Rowuyton
village. The Klincfclter boy and the
Raymond lad had been out hunting in
the morning, using a shotgun bclong<
ing to Will DeWaters, of Rowaytou.
The boys were. told to return the gun
by 2:30 o'clock, trill came home. about
1:30 and handed the shotgun over to
DeWaters, as they had promised.
After leaving lchntcrs they started
down the road and came across Crock-
ett. who had just started out with his
fine Flobert rifle. Boy-like. and as they
had often done before. they asked it
they might go with him. Crockett
promptly consented and the trio trudg‘
ed down the road. After they had
walked a short distance it began to
rain and one of the. boys suggested that
they go inside out of the wet. The
nearest place that would afford shelter
was under a house formerly occupied
by the \Vetmore family. There was no
cellar to the place, which was built on
a rock foundation. The house was at
one time. used as headquarters when
the Republican Club was in its prime.
Later the place was bought by the
Wetmores, who had resided in it up to
about two weeks ago. when they
moved to Norwalk.

MR. SEYMOUR WANTED TO DIE.
And Laid Down on the Railroad Tracks
in Rowayton to Wait for a Train.
Arthur H. Seymour. a well-known
South Norwalk hatter. was rescued
from a perilous position on the railroad
tracks near the Rowayton station last
Thursday afternoon shortly after 5
o‘clock by Henry Waters. of South
Norwalk, who was returning from a
hunting trip. Waters was crossing the
tracks In front of the station. when he.
saw the form of a man lying across the
tracks. lie went up to him and recog-
nizcd the young man as Arthur Scy-
mour.
“Shoot me. will you." almost sobbcd
Seymour. Mr. Waters thought it was
no time for questioning. as a train
might come along at any minute. and
proceeded to pull the young man off
the rails. it was fortunate that he did
so. for he had scarcely gotten him out
of danger, when a train came whistling
by. With an injunction to not home as
soon as he knew how. Waters left the
young man. Seymour took the advice
and returned to South Norwalk.
It is stated that Seymour has been
keeping company with a young lady in
Rowayton and. to use lover's parlance.

in his lth‘ affair. he sought to end his

Norwaik‘s colored population Is all
agog today. over a rumpus at Grace
Baptist Church. Illutlcr street. yester-
day. li‘rom statements made by mem-
bers of the church it appears that the
church is divided against Itself. The
whole illfllculty will very likely be nir~
-ed in the courts.
The matter haslbcon steadily brew-
ing for several months. and last night's
fracas is only the culmination of a
chain of events. it Is said that many
of the deacons of the church and the
trustees are opposed to Rev. D. C.
'l‘holuas. whom some of the members
of the church claim is the pastor. while
others say he is not the pastor. having
severed his connections here in Aug-
ust. -
Chief of Police Thomas Bradley
learned yesterday. of the trouble which
was brewing. and took a trip down to
the church in the morning. only to find
a big padlock on the door. A short
time later the chief met the Rev. Mr.
'l‘homus coming down the street. and
supplied him with the information that
he "cilcsscii he was locked out." and
advised him not to break the look. but
to go away. The pastor followed his
advice.
The chief anitripatcd that all would
not run smoothly in the evening, and
Special Oiliccr Gilbert G. Horton was
dcsputched to the church to preserve
order, should matters become serious.
The offlccr was on hand as directed.
but stated that no actual physical en-
counter took place. The wordy war.
however. was a vigorous one.
As near as can be learned the faction
of the church opposed to Mr. Thomas
net-tired a colored preacher from
Bridgeport. and had him on hand to
conduct services. it is said that he
was in the pulpit. with the policeman
:it the door. when Mr. Thomas and sev-
eral of his followers appeared at the
door, and were allowed to enter. it
is further stated that Mr. Thomas.
seeing some other minister in charge of
the pulpit. ordered him out. but the op.
posing faction decreed that he should
not no. and here the matter stood
From then on the wordy fight was In
full swing.
At the height of the excitement
mini-one turned out the lizhts. and
pandenionium reigned in the dark. A
number rushed for the doors and norm
of the men with families hustled their
wives and children out with all possi’
bio cclerity and then the men had it
out by themselves.
Otticcr Ilorton stayed for some time.
but when he became satisfied that
there would be no serious tremlnntion.
he departed. leaving some of thc breth'
rru still In the church.
Some of the trustees and deacons
held a conference in Wall street. this
burning. and discussed the affair with
’1 lawyer and officials of the law. One
of the anti-Thomas faction declared
that Rev. Thomas had no right to
break Into the meeting. which was al.
ready in progress when he arrived. l'n~
ulcr the law it Is a criminal offense to
break up a religious meeting. but it bx
‘xpccted that charges will be made by
both factions of the church. ~
The first hint of the affair which be.
came public was when Deacon Wil-
liams. a ‘fcw weeks ago. brought. suit
against Rev. Mr. Thomas. Tho papers
in the claim of Williams said that Mr
Thomas. in speaking of Williams. had

MR. BLANCHARD MAKES REPLY.
Explain. Same School Matters for Mr
Adams and Others.
Editor Evening Sentinel: 1 notice
In the columns of The Sentinel Issued
this evening 0. communication from 1‘5.
Adams. asking certain Information
from the committee of the South Nor-
walk Union School District. The run-
sou given for this inquiry Is that the
liast published report of the town board
of school visitors does not indicate
that any additional school accommo-
dations are needed inthla part of the
town at the present time.
lily reading of the. report. to which
Mr. Adams refers. makes it indicate
that necessity quite unmistakably. l
commend some of the figures there
presented to his thoughtful considera-
tion. One of the tables shows that
during the three terms of the last
school year there was an average reg-
istration of nearly 1.400 in the south
Norwaik public schools. As 23 school
rooms were occupied during that per-
iod. including the two rooms in the
Knudsen building. Mr. Adams wul
easily figure out an average of nearly
so scholars to a room. Educators tell
us that one teacher should not be re-
quired to attend to so many. and that
to is a much more reasonable and
manageable number. With that judg‘
ment of experienced men 1 see no rea-
son to disagree. However. we are on
lined to make the best We can of the
situation. if the 1.400 scholars could
be parcclled out to the Bit rooms. 50
scholars to a room, the problem would
be a comparatively easy one. Mr. Ad‘
inns doubtless knows that a group of
scholars cannot be handled in that
way. They have to be taken as they
arc and graded accordingly to their
attainments. This necessarily gives
more scholars to some rooms than to
others. As it is, forced promotions
have to he made in order to avoid
greatly over-crowding sotne of the
rooms. These transfers are often an
injustice to individual scholars. but ne-
cessity compels the step. which. with
a larger number of school rooms. could
be avoided. This is a matter to which
the, school authorities in the discharge
or their duties to the scholars and the
district should be expected to give
some attention.
Again We cannot Ignore the fact of
the increasing number of scholars reg-
istered In our schools. Turning to the
annual report of the tmprd of scope.
visitors for 1397. l and. the average
registration for three terms wasridil,
There has thus been an increase in five
years of more than 2:30 scholars. I do
not need to comment on these. figures.
if they have any significance they
mean emphatically a demand for more
school rooms.
This community cannot have tumor

fore the last addition was made to the
Franklin buildinu. In the interval

is to be hoped that such a condition
of things may never be allowed to re

none too soon and would have been
recreant to their duty had they failed

Accommodations for the future.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Oct. 20:“
About seven hundred delegates of the
United Mine Workers of America from
the hard coal mining districts of Penn-
sylvania met in the Ncsbitt theatre to
day to act on the proposal to settle the
long strike by arbitration. The con-
vention was called by President Mitch-
ell. under the rules of the Union, to
vote, on the plan which he laid down
before It and later explained fully in a
lengthy address.
Previous to the assembling of the
convention there were busy scenes at
strike headquarters in the Hart hotel.
from where the miners' battle has been
directed since the strike was called.
Before 8 o'clock the miner delegates.
the majority of thorn having arrived
on the early morning trains. began to
gather there. President Mitchell was
the center of interest. and until he left.
for the convention hull. was always
surrounded by his lieutenants and oth-
ers. The final details for the meeting
Were arranged in his office this morn~
mg.
The delegates were in the best of
humor as they ioltercd about the hotel
lobby. The feeling of the men was
evidenced in a brief conversation ever-
heard when delegates from distant
points met. Said one: “Well. what
do you think of the situation, now?"
"Oh. We are here to finish it. and 1
fitness We will.”
Every delegate whose opinion was
sought, felt that the convention would
do whatever their national leader ad-
vised.
There was a general cheer in the
face of the men which was reflected in
the demeanor of the citizens of this
prosperous city. in and hem which fifty
thousand strikers live and even the
fine. clear weather seemed to suggest
peace and arbitration.
Among the late arrivals at the con.
vention hall was National Secretary-
Treasurer \V. B. Wilson. selected to On
the secretary of the convention with
the secretaries of the three districts
as his assistants. lie was of the on

PROPELLER EAGLE RAISED.
Wrecking Tun Hustler Bring: Up a Big
Rock from Bottom of channel.
The wrecking tug Hustler, owned by
the MerrltbChapman Company, yester.
day raised the sunken propeller Eagle
which went down opposite the steam-
boat dock in Nor-walk Friday morning
at 1:30. No raising tackle was used
and instead the wreckera began to
pump water out of her yesterday mor-
ning at low tide, and as quickly as pos.
sible canvas was nailed over the hole
which caused her to go down. By the
time the tide was half high the Eagle
was floating. it was necessary, how
ever. for the wrecker to keep a pump
going all day and last night to keep
the freighter free of water. The liust~
Ior towed her to New York today,
where she will be dry docked and re-
palrs made. The. Eagle. would have
been raised Saturday had not the
wrecker had to return to New York
for extra apparatus.
Two divers went down several times
yesterday to complete the work of put-
ting something over the hole through
which the water was pouring and their
descents were watched by a large
crowd.
The Hustler in addition to raising
the Eagle yesterday. brought up the
tendon rock from the harbor bottom.
on which the Eagle came to grief. A
diver went down and put a chain
around the. boulder and It was hoisted
out and deposited on the boat's deck.
it will be taken out into the Sound and
dropped overboard in a deep spot.
There are two other rocks dangerous
to navigation very near to the. place
where this one was taken out.
in addition to the damage to the bot
tom of the Eagle it was found that the,
heavy list to port had caused her holl-
er to shift from its foundation. The
vessel was towed down the harbor by
the Hustler. assisted by the oyster
boat Henry J. Lowndes.
