it was intimated that a running arrange—

the present plan to get into New Yprk
from Fordam over the elevated road
‘ owned by the Surburban Rapid .Transit
company. From Fordam there are three
routes by which connections could be
made with the New York and New Eng-
land. They are New York, New Haven
and Hartford, the Harlem, and the New
York City and Northern, By someit is
believed that the New York (‘ily and
Northern people are the ones who have
in view the project of a running arrange

lean to the opinion that the ‘ew York,

In accordance ’with the foregoing
resolution, your committee, ihcrcbyl
:appointed, would respectfully submit

the follow' g report:
The necessity for additional sch ol
accommodations has in the opinion 1‘
vour‘ committee' become imperativ
he present school buildings. which fur
nished ample accommodations five or
to years ago, are at present entirely in-
su ‘cient, and if'we stop a moment to
consider that the area bounded by our;
City limits has been adding forty per
cent to its population every decade for.
the past fifty years, nearly doubling
each twentydive years. we have a suf-
ficient reason for this need.
_ The district committee of ISSR—M,
in its annual report to our citizens,
‘mentione at two-room building in
(iranrtevil e s’a means to relieve the
large attendanco at the Franklin st.
school a year later, quoting from the
report of 1834—85. after speaking ‘of the
large number of scholars in the primary
department, making it necessarv to
divide. classes and have one séc' n
attend in the morning and the other '
the afternoon. The committeefiurt er
saysz—“After a careful examination of
the annexed report of attendance must
convmco all, that we shall very soon be
compelled to furnish more accommo‘dab
tions. for our school children“—the
Graniteville matter was dropped be-
cause the time seemed passed when that
would afford any permanent relief.
_ A specml meeting was called last July
in regard to increased =school accommo-
dations. No definite action was taken,
and as _a temporary relief a part of the
.Frankhn st. school hall was tted up
and used as a school room d ring. the
past year. Taking into account the
recommendations of the retiring district
committee and the statistics of attend—
anceas found in its report, slag. from
personal observation, your committee‘is
convinced that it is useless to longer
sacrifice the h th and comfort of our
school , children "by overcrowding and
unsatisfactory accommodations. ,
; The wants of the district, anticipating
our growth for the next/fire or ten years,
requires, in our opinion, an eight-room
bui ing‘ in place of the present three-
} building in Concord st. 7
maybe_ pres med that not more
than five.“ six one rooms would be
occupied at p at, thus leaving a
margin for the wants of the near future.
These rooms,. with classes properly
graded, would give that section of the
district.” good acoommodationsas the
Franklin st. school in its section, and a
mica-of the children residing in the
00rd at. section could be returned
there, rs 'eving the Franklin st. school.
Your so mittee has given its best at-
tention n yogard to providing such
accommodations, and after considering
the feasibility of‘ erecting a suitable
building on the eligible site proposed by
the retiring oommittee."and its proba~
bleoost, we submit the following for
consideration, vim—To remove
present Concord st. building 35hr 40
feet toward therear of the lot on which
it stands and 5 t in front, attached to
the old building. three story frame

ing six new rooms each 28x31 feet. with

more.
r c mittee respectfully submits
these pl 3 and estimates to their fellow‘
citiz . as the'niost feasible and ccono:
mical they can in their judgment fur-
nish, and would recommend the ini-
mediate erection of such building so as
to be available the next term of the
school, and also that this meeting pro-
vide for funds for such purpose. In
regard to heating and ventilation of pre-
sent buildings as called for by the" reso-
lution referring more particularly to the
Franklin st. school, our = committee
would report that whi e the new heat-
ing plant recommended would be desir-
able, we believe that this expense can be
delayed for some time by ordinarv res
pairs to the present fdrnaces, which,
with pro er care and attention, can be
made to urnish all the heat required.
Thevcold air boxes “for supplying the
furnaces, and the ventilating fines seem
to be constructed on approved prinmples
and if properly used cannot fail to keep
the air pure and wholesome in the
school rooms, and in 'our opinion no
changes are needed. .
As by the resolution by which your
committee was appointed it_ was re-
quested to inquire. into the sanitary con-
dition of the school buildings and
grounds, which it, presumes is called for
on account of the unsettled and uneasy
feeling on the part of parents and
teachers caused by the.unusual pro-
cecdings lately in regard to the matter,
at the Franklin st. building, on careful
examine we find no trace of mois.
ture or contaminations of the soil sur-
mised to he underlying the floors of the
school building. The neglect to trap
the basins in the basement in connect-
ing them with the sewer last fall has
lately been remedied, and' in our opin-
ion there is nothing in the building
detrimental to health. \Tho putting in
of closets on the completion of the new
sewer necessitated a disturbing of the
grounds in the rear of the Franklin st.
. school, but in the change and filling of
vaults we are led to believe all necessary
precautions were taken. The cause of
the. supposed contamination was re-
mohed when this was down, and your
comhiittcc believe there is no further rea-
son forgthe neodlcss alarm which has
been created.

Here is a won which a great
many have 00 .asion to ask, for their
fathers ‘ have gone away from them.
Men have fathers who are such by na‘
ture, tlfiise to whom they owe their by
sicial existence. Then there are those
who are fathers because of their extend-
ed Deletion to and service in the chur‘lch~
of . and the spiritual offspring they
have been instrumental in bringing into
fellowship with Christ. There ire also
fathers among us by virtue of the great
age to which they have come. \Vhere
are many of these fathers? They are
not in the homes. they constructed,i lid
for which their hamds made provi ibn.
They are not in the marts of busigliess.
They are not in their accustomed place
of worship in the house of God. Men
say of them they are dead, that they are
entombed in, the earth. We ma, not
dispute this assertion. The proofs t are
of are abundantl With us and for them
f‘ tours will unbi den start,” and tortur-
ing pangs will pierce our hearts. Though
men berendered obdurate and insensi-
ble by contact with t is hard world. and
coarseness or culture seek to eliminate
the humane elemen in their life, there
some times when h unity, will amen
itself, and weep w must whether we
Win or not. and feel we must, though it
be not according to our liking. .
. Have we not seen these fathers tremb-
ling under'the burden of ours. ' Have
we not witnessed them Journeying in
feebleness foxtreme graveward And
did we not beholdrthem lie down in ut~
tor exhaustion to rise no more until the
resurrection _ morning? Nevertheless
these Christian fathers are somewhere.
Though they have disap from the
orbit of our vision, have ica’ébed to that
the cold, dull ear of our sense cannot
catch the sound of their voices, and our
hands are not sumoiently extended to
clasp theirs. in glad recognition, they
not as certainly exist now as in the put.
ey may have attained to other forms

tions of their being, they have not

mood, who last Sabbath knelt at the
Communion and wverently received the
emblems of the broken "body of the
Christ in whom he believed. Though
his body now liean the coffin, he still
thinks, knows, feels, wills and acts. only
much more so than while under. the
earthly bonds. Hun-in is the mystery of
Gods appointment toward man, that
though his body shall sink under the
power of dissolution he shall yet live.
These godly fathom ~wbo have gone
away from us, are in :i «livuu-ly prepared
mansion. Said Christ. tn the dissiples
from whom he was about to take his de-
parture: ”In my Fathers house are
many mansions. I go to prepare a place
for you.“ Those liaye their dwelling in
the house not niaderwilh hands eternally
in the Heavens. a place that has locality
and is as substantial as the ahodes which
we have here on earth. They are in the
Paradise of God. To the man who had
even in his last moments come under the
power of saving grace, Christ said,
“This day thou shall be with me in Par-
adise." Adam‘s delightful garden was
a svmbol of the luxuriant garden of God
to which he transfers his saints in ‘their
departure hence. There they have their
place when no longer they tuil under
the burning sky in sun scorched fields,
in stubborn soilryiclding thorns, briars.
or poisonous plants. -
They are with Christ. “To depart is to
be with Christ." They are gathered in
blessed fellowship with tho-u- pious an—
cestry and with the wortbics of the gen-
erations past. The ancients spoke of the
dead as having been gathered to their
fathers, It was Christ who spoke of the
comers from the North andSouili, the
East and West, as sitting down with
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the king-
dom of Heaven. » \Vhat a satisfaction it
is in going to a strange or far away
country to know we are going \\‘hi‘l‘i‘ our
dear friends are. from whoni‘we have
been separated for long days and weary
riights'.. And such is the case of these-
fathers. - ' .
They are in rest from all their wcary-
ing labors, disabilities, inliruuiii-s and
racking pains. “Blessed are the (ll-ad
who die in tlic Lord for they rust from
their labors.“ said Jesus by llir‘ mouth of

heart in the Methodist Episcopal cl Hub,
and right loyally conducted himsel with

for social or any other considerations, to
be drawn away from the church of his
first love. He was not a more ligurv-
head in his relations 'to those with whom
he had cast in his spiritual lot. He
proved himself to he a useful man as a
Superintendent of Sabbath school. As a
class~lcader he pointed the feet of belu-v-
ers in the way which leads to God and
endless hlesscdness. In his stewardship

remarked of him. be “labored until worn

He was the subject. of certain noble
moral _ utilities; The liord'of glory had
said " 'xcept ye become as little child~
:‘i‘en yo cannot enter into the 'kingdom of
,Ileaven,“ and he was humble, modest
and patient. Of this he gave some ex-
pression in his quiet, gentle and retiring
mode of life: Also in his declaration

things said of him that were said of

en of in fulsonie manner. It has been
remarked lie was “generous to the cx~
.treme." , He enjoyed the respect of all
classes within the circle of his acquaint-
ance. I do not remember to have heard
the first unkind word as to father Ray-
mond‘s character and conduct.
The consideration in which he was
held was shown in the expressions which
fell from the lips of various persons on
learning of his death. The exclamation
of one was. “Is it possible that good old
man is dead,“ as if by,virtue of his mor~
al worth, death shtiuld not at this hour
have dominion over him. Another, , in
no. wise related to him, remarked, “‘I
think he was a lovely old man.“ There
was no exaggeration. in this language,
for he was pos‘ of some of the most
admirable qualities for the sake of which
it.was not a difficult thing to have a
large degree of .the affection of esteem
for him. A person who was not likely

Why is it that on this stormy Sabbath
morning. such a large concourse are
Vgathcred at his funeral service ? Are
these people here because a man of great
wealth, or large social influence of vass
philosophical attainments, of command
mg pohttcal‘wer, of great age, is about
to be buried? No, but because a christ-
ian_fatlier has gone from us whose capi-
tal in his commerce with both God and
man was'his moral work.
This badly grown world, wicked. de-
prayod and besotted as it is under the in-
toxicatingpower of sin, is not so Vile
yet but it is impressed by and has re-

proclaimed from house - tops and set

quietly asserts itself as does the noise-

‘shed from our. midst. Because-of the i -
oble purpose of many in life they are
such mere bubbles on the“ stream of
time, when they have disappeared, not a
ripple willbe caused for their absence.
Father Raymond, in his death, has made
a deep impression on many minds and
tenderly affected not a few hearts;
There are men who live so niggardly, so
meanly and wickedly, God says of them
their name shall not lived. There are
those, whom We think of to despise,
and :still there are those the very
thought of whom is a contamination,
but the memory of this saint will be as
ointment poured forth, as a perpetual
benediction. 5
The company who constituted the
membership of the Methodist church 50
years ago is getting to be very small.
They are melting away before themed.
vancing years as dissolves the “snow un-
der the fierce glare of the risen sun.
Sion, perhaps too soon, the little rem-
nant will have gone. Happy for the
church and world as these one by one
mount the chariot of God and ascend
Elijahdike to the Heaven of their hopes,
if the garment of their power rests on
the shoulders of their spiritual success-
ors. Do you revere the memory of these
saintly men? ' Then be true to the char-
acter and cause that they loved. .

On the Shore Linc we found that a
very large amount of work had already
been ,donein the way of renewals and
repairs on the bridges and piling since
our last examination, and that this work
s still in progress. The necessary
vol pit having now been secured, we
ust that the l ig: talkcd of filling at

Un the..\'ew York division we found
the stone ballasting completed from
New Haven to Bridgeport and the work
of improving the grades preparatory to
stone ballasting the remainder well under
way. The general condition of the road
has been well maintained and the whole
right of way, especially the depot
grounds, kept in nest order. .It‘ having
been decided to rebuild the Norwalk pil-
ing with wood, which work is in prug~
ress, nothing further will be required
here for a number of years. .Your other
principal bridges being now of iron, we
would strongly urge thatLyou this season
replace a considerable nt’inibcriof your
short wooden bridges \viith iron girders
and standard floors, in order that your
line from New York to New Haven may
in this respect equal the Hartford divi-
sion. This work may very properly keep
pace with the stone ballasting. '
