When the freight train in charge of
Conductor J. W. Storrs, which was run-
ning extra arrived in this city, at 3
o‘clock yesterday afternoon, one of uro
brakcmcn discovered that one of the
gondola cars, No. 147.0447. owned by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1n the mid-
dle oi‘ the train, was carrying a ghastly
might. When the train had left Hur-

torr. The train stopper] between here

passing toward the head of the train.
saw a man apparently asleep in the
gondola car, and tried to wake him up,
The efforts to arouse him were futile
and the brakeman reached the conclu-
sion that the man was dead. The case
was reported to Station Agent F. E.
Raymond. in South Norwalk. and the
body was retrieved from the car and
taken into the baggage roorrr. Chief
of Police Vollmer was notified. and be
summoned Dr. .1. Milton Coburu, The
body was hardly cold at that time. and
many did not believe that the man was
really dead. Mirrors were held at his
nrouth to see if he breathed. He did
not. however, and Medical Examiner
Huntington was notified of the case.
He ordered the body taken to D. W.
Raymond's undertaking rooms. The
dead man's clothing was then searched,
brrt contained nothing which was of
any value as a clue,1 to his identity.
The fellow was evidently a trump, as
he had in his pockets in number of lit-
tle pieces of leather, which were evi-
dently intended to be used in patching
shoes. He was probably somewhat
lame. as liis right leg was much larger
and more fully developed than the
left. He wore a pair of bathing suit
trunks. a soiled shirt and no collar,
but had on gray woolen socks. ills
trousers and cent were of black nia-
trrial. in his pocket were a little sil-
ver match safe and a silver shaving
brush. Hung around his neck with a
shoe string was a little leather case,
which had evidently been used to carry
a razor, There was no razor in it
when the body was found. however.
He wore a soft fedora hat. He was
smooth shaven and had sparse brown
hair. and his forehead receded in a
marked manner. He would probably
weigh about 150 pounds. and was about
twenty-five or thirty years of age. Two
teeth are missing from his upper law.
it Is regarded as probable from cer-
tain evidences about the body that the
man had been confined in jail for some
time lately. and his face bore the pecu-
liar cast known as “jail pailor." In
one of the pockets were found three
pairs of shoe strings, so he was proba-
bly what is known as a “shoe string
fakir." This gives them the pretence
of appearing to sell goods on the
streets, while in reality they are plain,
ordinary beggars. Undoubtedly the
dead man was one of these.
The other tramps. when they discov-
rred that their pal was dead, all tied
to avoid being arrestedin the hope of
learning the cause of death, A cure-
ful search was made at the undertak-
ing rooms for marks of violence, but
none were found. Medical Examiner
Huntington also made a search but
icould not tell what was the cause of
death it is believed to have been
either exposure or heart trouble: pos-
sibly alcoholism, though the man did
not look like a hard drinker.
This morning Chief of Police Voll-
mer received a message from Mrs
White. of Wallingford, who thought
that perhaps it might be her son, as he
was away from home, and she did not
know where. The descriptions were in
no way similar, howavor. and she was
informed that it was not the person
she In seeking.
t A number of people went in to try
land identify the dead man this morn-
ing, but they could not. do so. it can-
1 not be told as yet whether an autopsy
will be held or not. but in view of the
fact that there is no other way of as-
certaining the cause of death, one will
be performed this afternoon, in all
likelihood.

Rev. William Mutter. 0.0., of South
Norwalk, Delivers a Sohoieriy Ad-
dress in New Britain.
Although there was a chill wind
blowing and the utuu pliel‘e decidedly
uncomfortable, despl o the sunshine.
the laying of the coriror stone of St.
Mary's new parish school in New Ilri-
tain, Sunday afternoon. was an event
that will be pleasantly remembered in
the future years. The. assemblage mim-
bered many thousands. Rev. John T.
Winters, formerly of St. Joseph's par-
ish, South Norwalk, Is now pastor of
the. New Britain Church, and Bishop
Tierney and the prominent clergy of
the diocese were present, The. address
of the day was delivered by the Rev.
Dr. William Maher, of South Norwalk,
who fully lived up to his reputation of
being a splendid orator and a man of
fine scholarly attainments. -
Dr. Maher took for his text, “Suffer
little children to come rrnto me and
forbid them not. for such is the king-
dom of heaven.” He said in effect that
the gathering was a solemn and en—
nohllng one. the object of the ceremony
was to lay the corner stone of a build-
ing where for unnumbered decades of
i'Irtrrrc years a respect for Christianity
and national institutions would be
taught. Children were dear to the
heart of Jesus Christ. He lm‘ed tr.
lay ills sacred frauds upon them. fondle
firm) In their mother's arms. and by
His refining and christening influence
direct them in the path of duty and re—
tiglon. He told His disciples to go
forth into the world, teaching all no-
tions whither He had commanded
them, and that He would be with them
for all time. it was in these texts that
the secret of the day‘s ceremony and
the address could be found, Dr. Maher
said that the first object. of the new
school was to act as a safeguard of re—
ligion. which was a priceless heritage
to the Catholics of New ilritain. The
sunlight that came with the teachings
of God's religion following the days of
paganism. barbarlsm arid savagery.
brightened the lives and hopes of those
who followed in God's footsteps, elevat-
ing humanity and showing that Chris-
tiunity was the most precious thing in
any city.
Dr. Mahcr said that the Catholic
church in early days founded schools
and universities in many places. espe-
cially during the middle ages; it has
also been foremost In the work of ad-
vancement in the arts and sciences.
promoting Christianity in the hearts
and souls of the people, and will al-
ways lead in the vanguard of such in-
rlrrcnccs. if morality, integrity and
Christianity are to be lnculcutod in the.
human heart the work artist he started
urrly. The access“: for religious in-
arrrrction as a part 0 the education of
children, he said, was emphasized by
Washington, reiterated by Daniel Web-
ster. and also by Dr. Gilbert. a noted
teacher of the deaf and dumb. So far
as the education of the non-soctariun
schools is concerned, it is deserving
of praise and commendation. “But
because the aid of the supernatural is
not invoked, the. children." says Dr.
Patton, of Princeton. “are ll‘tle Pagans
in regard to Christianity." They are
taught to observe the law regarding
certain offenses, and they are taught
such firings are wrong and against the
moral law. brrt there is a notable neg-
lect of instruction in religion. This.
however, is done in the parochial
school and the aim of «location there
is to loftier ideals and nobler purposes.
Dr. Maher said he would not have the
good people of New Britain think that
the object of the. new school was for
any other purpose than to preserve
religion and by teaching it to make the
children good citizens of the city, state
and nation.
BASKET BALL SEASON OPENS.
Company F. Tum Defeated the De
fiance Athletic Club.
A good sized crowd was present at
the armory, last evening, to see the
opening of the basketball season. The
first Company F team defeated the De-
fiance Athletic Club team, or New
York, by the score of eleven to one.
All of the scoring of this game was
done in the first half. During the sec-
ond half the local team played entire-
ly on the defensive and succeeded well.
The New Yorkers failed to throw a
field goal, their one point being due
to a free throw from the foul line, an
F. player having been penalized for
carrying the ball. This foul was the
only one committed during the game
by the F players .
The game was rather rough at times.
and Payne of the local team was
knocked out for a few moments. His
opponent, a much larger man, took
especial delight in trying to down
him. All of the visitors were large
men and have played on the armory
floor before.
. The F team has a schedule arrang-
ed for eight players. Seven men play-
ed last evening. Payne's opponent was
ruled out of the game. but as the vial-
tors had no substitute to put in. he was
allowed to get into the game again.
The players last night on the first
team were Darcey and Payne, for-
wards; Lister center. and Riley, Kon-
ney, Godfrey and Ghlotto, guards. Wil-
llim F. Rnuch was the official of the
game.
Previous to the principal game of
the evening. the second team, the
Montnuks were defeated by the You-
nignnu. of Bridgeport. by the score
of 11 to 7. The Montuuk players are

Councilman Riordan made a motion.
which prevailed, that if the city engi-
neer found it feasible to run the brook
feeding the swamp on the New Canaan
road, into the sewer. Mr. Wood. who
appeared shortly after the meeting,
said this Would not be the proper thing
to .10 as often the sewer would not be
large enough to carry off the water.
This brook runs down through L. L
Green‘s property and down along the
track and under it. into the swamp. The
latter is very objectionable and is pro
bably detrimental to health. Mr. Wood
said. however, tha‘ at times the brook
is so large that a twenty-four inch sew—
er would not be large enough to carry
off the. water.
A bill was received from Mrs. John
H. Gormloy, wife of cit-Chief of Police

by tripping over a water connection in

appeared at the meeting. but did not
say anything about the bill and left the

The claim made last. Friday for a.
trial of the facts in Issue raised under
a plea in abatement in the anti-boy-
cott suit instituted by D. E. Loewe &
Co. of Uaulruly, against Martin Law-
for and others, has given rise to an op-
posing motion by counsel for the plain-
tiff firm Yesterday in the civil super-
ior corrrt, in which the suit will ,be
tried. a motion by the plaintiff to
istrlke the case from the jury docket.
:rrrrl rctum it to the court list for trial
before a judge was filed. The motion 1,
will be. argued at some future short
calendar session of the court.
Srrch a motion as that of Friday is
entirely unique in the history of Fair-
field county jurisprudence, and it is
doubtful if a case can be found In all
of the Connecticut reports In which
facts in issue in a plea. of abatement
have been tried before 3 jury. It is
doubtfrrl. too, if the claim has ever
been made before. seeking such I trial.
The claim for a jury docket was made
by counsel for the defendants just prior
to the opening of the short calendar
session of the court last Friday. .
As the request was properly made. }.
the case was transferred to the jury . ,1
docket, the wording of the claim call-
ing for a trial of the facts in issue be
fore a jury, not only on the plea in
abatement, but also in the trial of the ’
case. should the plea in abatement fall,
