ATTO‘

An interesting as well as instructive.
address on "Partisanshlp" “was fiver:
by Attorney Jesse'T. Dunbar to the
Men’s Club. of‘ the ‘South Nor-wall:
Congregational church, yesterday
noon. The subject was such that
there was an extraordinary large at-
tendance at the meeting.

Attorney Dunba’rvhandled the sub-
.ieet in a non-controversable manner.
In the first part of the address he ad-
mitted that.members of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties were
partisan. He. described the strictness
of party alignment. saying that 90 per
cent. at voters do not change from One
party to the other in election. Only
10 per cent. of the voters really make
a. decision on the basis of the plat-
forms before aligning with either
party. he said.

Continuing, Attorney Dunbar de-
clared that t e princip differences
between the two chief parties. Ro-

lpubllcan and Democratic. had practi-

Four Cars Destroyed at
Botsford—Two Contained
Valuable Merchandise

 

 

Two freight cars loaded with‘mer-
chandise and two cabooses were ‘de-
stroyed by a fire which resulted from
a rear-end collision at Botsford Fri-
day night at nine o'clock. The‘l‘lre
started from the overturning of the
stoves in the cabbooses and with no
fire-fighting apparatus at hand“ the
flames entirely consumed the ca-
boosees and two cars. only the trucks
remaining after the-tire had burned
itself out.

The trains which figured in the col-
lision were both north-bound. the
burned cars centaining merchandise
consigned to Port Morris. N. J.

Extra 3223 was closing in on Ex-
tra 3215 in the. Bostford yard .and the
rear train at too close with the re—
suit that he engine struck the rear
caboose of the train ahead. The col-
lision was sufficient to cause the rear
caboose to "ride" the car ahead. The
blow also overturned the coal stoves
in both cars. The hot coals were
strewn around. quickly setting fire to
the woodwork . By the time ‘the cars
could be. uncoupled from the remain-
der of the train the flames had spread
from the caboosesglto the two cars
ahead. . "

The New Haven wrecking' outfit
was ordered out to clear the wreck-
age. but all that It had to do was to
remove the truck! at the burned ears.
The derailment and tire blocked both
tracks for several hours but’ inter-
fered only with freight traffic.

Although only four cars were de-
stroyed the wreck and fire you an
expensive one on account of the mer-
chandise destroyed. A large‘quantity
of shreded eonoanut was a. part of the
merchandise burned. A number of
incubators and brooders and a con-
siderable shipment of cloth was also
destroyed in the fire.

Raidof Samuel Fine’s Pool-

Jealous/of New Canaan's reputa-

law. Chief of Police Schmidt Friday
night paid an unannounced visit to
the pookoom of one Samuel; Fine.
there. The result of the visit is that
Mr. Fine and possibly some of the
group Cot 21 young blades found there
by the Chief. are likely to rece'e
summonses in ”the nexttfew days.

Chief -:,Schmidt’s visit- was due to
information allegin.‘ that the people
who patronized Mr. Fine‘s place
sometimes indulged in the ”Y;- k. game
of African golf. According to infor-
mation received today. the visit justl-
fled the "informatIOn and belief." but
the amount of‘money actually seized.
apparently. was small—not more
than 50 cents. The 21 young blades
were having a. "fine" time. neverthe-
less. Now they‘ are ‘a bit worried
about the ”summon-es expected to in.

auspices of the Interna-

New York. E. W. Belici- of Pitts-
burgh. Pa.. addressed an audience in
Red Men's Hall yesterday afternoon.
the subject of which was "The \Vorlds
Judgement Day at Hand———Millions

New Living Will Never Die." The
speaker said in part:——

."God hath appointed a day in
which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he
hath ordained. Jesus Christ the
Righteous. Acts 17:31:1 John 2:1.

Since Jesus is to be the Judge it of
necessity, follows that He must return
to earth. He tells us the evidences of
His scond presence in Matthew 24:7
“Nation shall rise against nation. and
kingdom against kingdom. and there
shall be famines and pcstilences and

earthquakes ln'dlvers places." The
world war. food shortage. influenza
'- epidemic ‘ (pestilence) revolution

(earthquake) thus fulfil the Lord's
great prophecy. In evclation 11:18
we read “The nations were angry and
thy wrath is come and the time of the
dead that they should be judged."
Gentile dominion ended in 1914 then
the great world war broke, opt since
which time God has been removing
the rulers ofrthe unrighteous king-
doms of earth. The rulers of the na-
tions of earth today refuse to give
way to the Lord's righteous reign
and are trying to patch. up the un-
righteous and corrupt tottering struc«
tures of earth pertaining tolhlngs ec-
clcsiastical. financial and political but
God will not have it and so thus we
have fulfilled the second Psalm. Fur-
thermore says/ Jehoviah in Daniel
2:44 that upon the ruins of all earth's
kingdoms He will establish. His king-
dom for which'we have so long been
praying ‘Thy ingdom Come.‘
