A. The . weather olorful Career of Rev. Wing CloSed Was Civil War V eteran—Became Correspond- ent and Brought First News of Grant’s Vic- tory to Lincoln, Who Kissed Him—Wrote \ Book—Was Pastor of Church in Rowayton The death of the Rev. Henry E. Wing, one of the early editors of The Evening Sentinel, occurred last night at his home in West Bedding. In his 8601 year. Mr. Wing had passed a life varied and colorful. Minister. soldier. author and editor. he had many experiences, the most notable of which was when he brought news to President Lincoln of the cepitulation of the Southern forces. - The Rev. Henry E. Wing was born in Goshcn. Connecticut. in 1839. At the age of 21. he took part. in the great conflict between the North and the South, joining the 27th Connecticut Regiment. His fortunes with that unit took him safely through the war until the battle of Fredericksburg. which he always characterized as one of the blund- ers of the Northern forces. In an open field, the blue clad in- fantry lay all day long, swept and gelled by theSouthern ‘ artillery. The Federal forces were decimated by the fire, and Mr. Wing received a Wound that took him to the hos- pital. After his recovery. he was pronounced unfit for further ser- vice. but his liking for the life of action again took him into the war theatre, where. as a. correspondent for the Ne wYork Tribune, he form- ed a. friendship with Abraham Lin- coln, that was one of his dearest memories. it was he who first brought to the martyr President the great news of Grant’s victory. and in a rush of enthusiasm as was rarely shown by the shy, gaunt. executive Lin- coln threw his arms around the young man's neck and kissed him. ’l‘hl incident formed the center of one of the first books of reminis- cences by the Rev. Mr. Wing. entitl- ed. "When Lincoln Kissed Me." After the war. he settled in Nor- walk, where‘he took over the edit- orship of The Evening Sentinel. and for many years this oldest of Nor- walk newspapers was under his guidance. The paper was later pur- chased by Jnmes Golden, brother of Richard H. Golden, who assumed the editorship. Mr. Wing then took up active work in the ministry. for several years being the pastor of the Rowayton Methodist -Church. For many years past he has lived in re- tirement at West Rcdding His de- mise removes from the community one more of the colorful figures. whose active life and unccasing toil was characteristic of the past gen- eration. He is survived by a wife and two children. Miss Henrietta Wing and Charles Wing. He will be buried from West Reading at -2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. interment will be in Riverside Cemetery, Norwaik. CET iNJUNCTlON AGAINST CAS CURRANT ALSU Judge Light Issues Writ—'— One Granted Yesterday t 0‘ Stop Erection of Station An injunction was granted this morning by Judge Freeman Light restraining the Western Petroleum Co. of Connecticut from establisha lug a gasoline distributing station at the corner of School and Jefferson strols. Proceedings were instituted by George Othame and Anna Par- dee. Practically all the residents in that vicinity have petitioned for the injunction. Attorney John J. Farrell of Wall street. representing the plaintiffs. yesterday secured an injunction against James Mchrny of 95 Con- necticut avenue. manager for the Western Petroleum Co. The injunc- tions in both cases are effective un- til the first Tuesday in October. It is understood that the petro- leum company which recently pur- chased its property here from Clar- ence Slauson, is able to retail gaso- line and oil considerably cheaper be- cause of its wholesale manipulation. The injunction interrupted work which had already been started there. It is understood that per- mission has been granted for the station by the state. but apparently no authority has yet been extended by city officials.

WORKING ON EAST AVENUE TROLLEY TRACKS Supt. MacLean a Busy Man .1 Gasoline Mo- tors Supplant Steam In Repaying Superintendent Thomas MacLean of the Connecticut company had his hands full today and will have for many days to come. directing the work in connection with the trolley line on East avenue. The trolley tracks are being torn up a few hun- dred feet at a time. then a gasoline excavator takes about two feet of the roadway off. A gasoline roller follows in the tracks of the excava- tor preparing the way for the tracks which are to be laid in concrete. All efforts are being made by Su- perintendeut lilacLean to get the trolley tracks down so that trolley service on East avenue will be as unbroken as possible. After the tracks are laid the work will begin on the road itself. Many persons stopped to watch the work. The outstanding feature is the preference of gas engines ' over steam. All the equipment of the Waterbury Construction company 1! run by gasoline engines. instead of the customary steam shovel. a Northwestern Gasoline Excavator is used. The steam roller is replaced by a Huber Gasoline Boiler, and a Fordson grader takes the place of the horse-drawn kind. One-way tramc rules are being observed. FALSE ALARM.
