Mrs. Amelia 8. Downs, oi Nor-
wslk, and Mrs. Edward Fred-
erick Bailey, of Brooklyn,
Formerly. of Norwslk, Meet
Death in Lake Minncwaska,
New York

Mrs. Edward F. Bailey, of ilrooklyu,
aners. Amelia fl. Downs, of Norwaik,
were accidentally drowned while row-
ing on Lake Miinnewsska, New York,

yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Downs'
daughter, Mrs. L. Ledyurd, of New
York City, was saved.

One of the party leaned over to pick
some berries near the shore and the
boat capsized. Mrs. hedyard clung to
the boat. but. the others immediately
sank. Mrs. Ledyard's cries brought
the guards and Motel Wildmcre guests
to the place.

The bodies were brought up by div‘
ers about fifteen minutes after the ac-
cident, but all efforts to resuscitate the
two women were fruitless.

Mrs. Bailey was the wife of Edward
Frederick Bailey, of the firm of Tub
tlo & Bailey, manufacturers of steam-
hcatiug registers, at No. till ileekmau
street, Manhattan. They lived at No.
176 Harrison street, Brooklyn, with
Mr. Bailey‘s mother, Mrs. J. S. bailey.
Walter S. Bailey, brother-in-law of the
drowned woman, who was seen last
night at the' Harrison street residence,
said:

“I have just received a telegram
from Lake Mdnuewaska, N. Y.. telling
me that Mrs. E. F. Bailey and her aunt.
Mrs. Downs, were drowned there to—
TlIe telegram urges me to go

to Lake Minnewaska, and is signed

‘Mrs. liailcy.’ i cannot understand

this signature in view of the drown-

ing of Mrs. llailcy.

“My slster-in-iaw, who is a woman
of thirty, went with her aunt and the
latters daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Led‘
yard, to Dalton, Mass, to spend the
summer some weeks ago. They told

_ us when they left home flint they in
tended to take afi-gj‘ip during the sum—
iner over to Lake Miunewaska. This
is the result of that trip.

“I presume that the women were

probably

 

 

on the lake- I understand that. it is a
very treacherous body of water. More
than this I cannot say. i must go to
Lake Mlnnewaska on the. first train."

Word was received in The Norwaiks
of the accident early this morning.
Clifford Bailey, of Brooklyn, sentn
telephone message to the Hatch home-
stead, in West avenue, at 6:30 o’clock.
The Messrs. and Misses llatch are
related by marriage to the women who
were drowned. ,Edward F. llailey was
for several years president of the
Hatch & liailey Company, in South
Norwalk, but for the past few years
has not had an interest in the coin-
pany, having sold out to the Messrs.
Stephen S. and Horace S. liatch.

Mrs. Downs was a sister oi Miss
Cornelia F. ilaird, who conducts the
.seminary in West avenue, and had
resided for a number of years in one
of Miss Baird's lumses at. No. 6 0r-
chard street. Mrs. iialley. who was
drowned, was a niece of Mrs. Downs
. and Miss llaird, and for many years
was a resident of Norwalk. and sev
eral years prior to her marriage was
head teacher for Mrs. IIflIl‘II.

The llailey family has been spend
ing the past three or four summers
,at Dalton. Mass. and previously had
occupied the Lockwood house at Hick-
ory Bluff, and they were well-known
to the summer residents at the shore
as well as to the Older residents of
The Norwalks.

FOR EPISCOPAL
SUNDAY SCHOOLS

 

 

Rev. Samuel R. Colladay, of
Middletown, Engaged as Dr-
ganizing Secretary

 

A circular has been sent to the
clergy of the Episcopal diocese of
Connecticut. which reads as follows:

At the last meeting of the diocesan
convention held in Mltldlelown, the.
suggestion in the report of the Stin-
day school commission, that its work
could be more efficiently done if the
commission could have the services.
at least part of the time, of a well
equipped organizing secretary, was
heartily endorsed, and the resolution
providing for the secretary's s‘nlnry
and traveling expenses was carried.

This action of the convention is
probably known to you, but the
commission itself desires to bring it
again to your attention, and to an-
nounce that it has secured on organ-
izing secretary, the Rev. Prof. Samuel
R. Colladay, of Berkeley Divinity
School, Mlddietown. We are sure. that
you Will be glad of this new forward
step, and of our ability to have the
services of Prof. Collnday.

Wo desire now to have his work
forwarded by the clergy of the din
cesc, as promptly as possible. it is in
line with the work proposed by tho
conuuissiou that Prof. (‘ollatlay should
organize the various branches of the
Sunday school union which cannot be
formed in a diocesan way until the
entire diocese is covered with local
branches. He will be very glad to
confer with you regarding the estab‘
iishment of teacher training classes
in any parish or groups of parishes.
He will'ulso advise regarding the grad
ing of the Sunday school. and the cur-
riculum, especially in order to help
the small Sunday schools who do not
see where the modern methods may
be of assistance to them.

in these, and in many other ways
which may occur to you, the organiz-
ing secretary wishes to place himself
at your service, and to be the medium
of communication betwoen the clergy
and the conunission itself. Will you
not call upon him and afford him every
opportunity to help?

in the name of the commission,

C. M. ADDISON.
Vice-Chairman.

filed an appeal, and the cosc is ticked
IIled to come before the Common
Pleas Court at Bridgeport,

Judge Taylor adjourned the case. at
noon yesterday until this morning, in
order that he. might go into seine of
the details of the evidenCe.

This morning, in giving his decision,
be analyzed the evidence at consid-
erable length and stated that he was
in hopes that Grumbly could show that
he committed the act accidentally, but
from the young man‘s own testimony
he came to the conclusion that the dirt
was thrown will intent. He also said
that. while the W‘lllCSSCH who said the
car was going from twenty to thirty
miles an hour undoubtedly' believed
that this was the case. it is not reason—
able to believo that a car would be
driven through several inches of crush-
ed stone at such a rate. To travel at
the rate of speed claimed by the defenv
dnnt witnesses. the judge figured that

William Stafford, of llarien, was
bowling along in the big Wintou car,
owned by Mrs. Harriet Root, a sum-
mer resident of Noroton Heights,
actompauied by Harry Gorhsm and the
luller’s son. when the steering gear
broke. The machine swerved, plunged
into a bank and turned turtle. All three
occupants of the car were thrown out
and at. first it was believed that Gor-
lIam had been ver seriously injured.
lie was Ikeu to ilt‘ Stamford Hospi-
tal. but tcr was sent to his home, it
being determined that. his injuries
were not as bad as they were at first
believed to be. It is expected, how-
ever. that he will be laid up for sever-
al days. I

Stafford. the owner of the ,car. and
the young boy, escaped with slight
bruises. if was reported at first. that
GoI-ham received a broken wrist and
rib.

The principal damage to the car was
about its body, where the latter came
in contact with the ground after turn-
lug over. The damaged machine was
towed to Clark's garage in Stamford.

When the report of the accident
reached Norwalk, it was believed that
the accident. had been a much worse
one than was actually the case. A
number of local automobilists drove
over to the scene from Norwalk.

 

 

American Killed in Paris.

PARIS. Jilly 29—6. Winthrop Sands,
a stepson of W. K. Vanderbilt, was
killed in n frightful automobile accl-
dcut which occurred at 7 o'clock this
morning. just outside the grounds of
Mr. Vanderbilt‘s beautiful country
sent. the Chateau Si. bouts de Poissy,
twenty miles from Paris.

Mr. Sands was riding alone with the
chauffeur when in some manner which
has not yet been cleared up. the auto-
mobile, which was spinning along at a
fairly high rate of speed, left the road
and struck a tree, with terrific force.
The car was overturned and Mr. Sands
and the chauffeur were found under
the wreckage. The gasoline tank pro
bably exploded, as the wreck at once
caught fire.

As soon as help nrrlvcd Mr. Sands
and the chauffeur were extricatcd, but
they had been horribly maimed and
burned. They were carried into the
chateau, where Mr. Sands died at 9
o'clock. The chauffeur is still alive,
but his injuries probably will prove fa-
tnl.

(I. Winthrop Sands was a son of the.
present Mrs. W. K. Vundcrili by her
first huslumd. Samuel Sands, who was
killed at the Meadow llmok Illlnt same
years ago. Mrs. SillitISAIIliiIIOTIOI'd was
married to W. K. Vanderbilt in 1903.

Mr. Sands' mother. Mrs. Vanderbilt.
his stepfather and his brother were at
the. chateau when the accident occur~
red. All were grief stricken. Mrs.
Vanderbilt was almost. distracted when
the torn and bruised body of her son
was borne. tenderly indoors. It. was
evident that he was then past mortal
aid and he did not regain conscious-
ness before his death.

The members of the family were an-
prised of, the. accident by telegraph.
George W. Vanderbilt is at. Dinard.
Harold S. Vanderbilt left here this
morning for London. W. K. Vander-
bilt, Jr., is at Aix-Les-Bains.

 

ROAD IN BAD CONDITION.

 

Rains and Automobiles lnjure the Wii-
son Point Thoroughfare.

The Wilson Point road is in very
bad condition and Is gradually dls~
integrating. This highway was ma-

cndamlzed a. few y'eurs ago at a cost
of several thousand dollars, by the
town, but the town officials have be-
stowed practicaliy no care on it in a
long time. The recent hard shown
damaged the roadbed considerabl
more.

in many places the top dressing has
been completely worn off, leaving the
body exposed. The present condition
of the road is due to a very consid-
erable extent to the fast pace at which
automobiles traVeI over it.

BOAT THIEVES ANE

It is IIOW‘ believed that the thieves

who stole a launch owned by J. ll.
Whiteslde, of Belle Island, Sunday
night, took a trip along these shores
and picked up boats whenever they
looked good to them.

Two other victims are William
Wright and Henry Webb, of East Nor-
walk. Wright had a skiff on the shore
at Benedict's Farms, but Monday
morning he discovered that he and the
craft had parted company, though the
boat had been moored with two an-
chors. Webb made the discovery that
a pair of his oars had been taken at
the same time.

Lobster pots along the Belle Island
shore have also been disappearing,
but, thus far the thieves have worked
without being detected while at. their
operations.
