bhrnnh. Given by llis son.
I. 0. Benedict. the Green-
wioh- billionaire
The Benedict memorial pulpit donat-
ed to the Norwalk Congregational
Church on the occasion of the celebra-
tion of its 250th anniversary last fall
by E. C. Benedict, the Greenwich mil-
lionaire was formally unveiled and
dedicated yesterday morning before a
large congregation
Among the most interested specta-
tors of the ceremony were Mr. Bene-
dict. the donor and Thomas Hastings. .
a member of a firm of New York archi-
tects, whose advice was sought and
given: gratis in the selection of the
handsome memorial. Added interest
was given to Mr Hastings presence,
from the fact that his father was one
of Rev G D. Egbert's instructors at
Union Seminary and author of'the well-
known and beautiful hymn; "He That
Goeth Forth With Weeping." which
was sung during the service.
it was especially appropriate that
. Rev. Thomas K. Noble. D..,D pastor
emeritus should take part in the ser-
vices. He occupied a seat on the plat
form and in front of the pulpit were
the deacons and two members of the'
society’s cemmlttee Hon. Edwin C.
Keeler and J. C. Randle
The music for the occasion was es-
pecially appropriate and beautifully
rendered by the choir. The soprano
solo "Gloria." was most excellently
sung by Mrs. Newklrk. The pastor
opened his address by referring to the
beauty of nature and ass lations and
emphasized the fact t a-t character
above all was beautiful. He paid a
glowing tribute to the memory of Rev
Henry Benedict who was pastor of the
church from 1828 to 1832 and In whose

Freeman delivered the address of the

iel purposed in his heart that he would
not defile himself with the wine and
meat of the king."
Vivldly did the gentleman impress
the fellows with the‘trrrth that there
was no success without faith and pur—
pose. and emphasized how men of the
present day were facing the same dif-
the dictations of their conscience. the
being away from home. the being con-
trary to crrstom, the being subject to
ridicule and the prmpects of' losing
ono's position.
Mr. Freeman is a practical man and
has broad views. consequently he won
himself immediately into the hearts
of the Lamonters and held their at-
tention throughout the entire vdis-
cdrsc. 'At the close of the address

The R & G's won a hard contested

game from the Edgewoods' of New
Haven. at the Decker Field. Saturday
afternoon. by the score of four to
three. From early innings it looked
as though it would be a dull and unin-

in the brilliant plays following. Both
Dowd and Smith were very free in giv-
Ing bases on balls. the former allowing
seven free passes to the initial sack.
and Smith. six. Dowd was fortunate.
and had only one of his free passes In
buses. while two resulted from Smith's.
Mctz knocked in the winning run in
the twelfth inning, when there was
one out. “Mack" who was the first
man up. slashed the sphere Into deep
center field for two bases, and on
Dowd's single into left, made third.
and attempted to go home. The ball
beat irim to the plate by a number of
feet and he rctraced his steps for
third. This result was that he had a
“see-saw" between home and third
with the third baseman. May. and
Brennan. the Edgewood catcher. In
some manner May went down on the
base line. and "Mack" ran all over him.

Tire bosses claim that thirty-five of the

that half of that number have returned.

are going back to their old positions
now that the strike in Greenwich is

said that it was his Intention to be

would show no false modesty in asking

Tells of flood Situation
" .
George M. Noble Was in the Midst of If
and Iuw Many Persons Drowned
and Homes Curried Away.
George M. Noble, a young business
man from Topeka. Kansas, who Is east
on a trip. has been the guest of Eugene
M. Tolies. the South Norwaik coal deal-
er for a few days. Mr Noble comes
from the flood district, and witnessed
many of the exciting incidents of two
weeks ago. North Topeka, Mr. Noble
informed a Sentinel reporter. who In-
terviewed him this morning,_ fared
Worse than any other town. There
are low lands in that section, and the
water from the Kansas River covered
them, in many instances, to a depth of
ten feet. The report that the town
was burned was not strictly true. The
extensive lumber yards caught fire.
and the burning timber floated through
the streets. the surging currents car-
rying the wood several miles. The
flooded district was in a territory about
six miles square and in all there were
twenty three persons drowned. Mr.
Noble knew one lady who sought ref-
uge in a tree, taking her three child-
ren with her. She remained there
forty- -eight hours before help arrlv‘e'd
but one after the other she was com
pelted to part with the little ones. be
ing unable to hold them longer. and
the third child was drowned a minute
before help arrived.
There were no boats or facilities of
any sort for getting the people out of
the houses. Many took refuge in the
second and third floors of the mills and
manufactories. and were rescued. All
rlhe bridges in the vicinity were wash-
ed away, save one, and the foundations
of this were damaged. so that, It was
necessary to construct pontoon bridges
across the river. The Rock Island
Railroad was unable to run trains for
a week and lost hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, being obliged to take
care of many passengers in Topeka
and Kansas City.
Mr. Noble says that the only fear
now is from epidemic which may de-
velop from the hundreds of dead ca‘ -
tie. disabled sewer systgm and general
uns‘snitary conditions.
On his way east he was In the Mis-
so'uri Pacific train which was in a head
on coliisiOn at Stiilwater. whens nine
people were killed, and twenty-five in-
jured This was the only railroad
running. and o‘her roads ran trains cv-
er the tracks. and this caused the ac-
cident. Mr. Noble will go to Bridge-
port tomorrow and leave that place
Tuesday night on his way k to Kan-
sas. It is probable that r. Tones
will make a trip to that state In the
fall.
