A Regretted Departure.
We have seldom, if ever, been called
upon to publish the demo ture from our
town of a pastor with more sincere and
deep regret than in the announcement
made in the Gazn‘rrn’s news columns
to-day, of the transfer of Rev. Father
Slocum to Waterbury. He has proven
himself so useful to his people and the
town, so friendly and cordial to all of
every faith, so broad. and generous in
all his opinions, and withal so lovable
a personality,t hat it is indeed hard to
indite the words “good-bye” to Fath-
er Slocum. His Creator has annointed
his heart-with goodness and his lips
with eloquence. His nature is as large
as creation and'h‘is‘ love and sympathy
for his fellow men as wide as the uni-
verse. '
Norwalk’s great loss in his departure
is sure to be Waterbury’s incalculable
gain. Long 1111151 heme; apared to con-
tinue his good work for the Master’ 5
Kingdom.
Lébor Day.
In thirty States of
American Republic, was observed on
yesterday the new, yet potent, Labor
Day festival This is st1ictly and po-
tentially the wage- -workers’ holiday,
and after the long season of busineis
of industrial revival, this body of our
free American citizens had more cadre;
this glorious
for hope and rejoicing than ever be-j -
1019.
Our wage earners have suffered un-i
told injury by lack of proper and just
protection and our national finances
been sadly depleted by the same cause,
and now let a wise and beneficial proI-
tectiou be enacted all along the line,
and let the matter of protection from
the enormous influx of European pau-
per labor be seen to and abated, as
well as the too free influx of pauper
made goods and merchandise. All
hail to brave, faithful and honest labor
and full rewards to the laborers all
over our fair land.

JUMPED THE TRACK.
As car No. 16 was rounding the curve
at the corner of Belden avenue and
Wall street, about 9:30 yesterday morn-
ing, it jumped the tracks and after go-
ing about fifteen feet sheered to the,
left and dashed across the sidewalk,
into the fence and yard of Levi C. Han-
ford. There we only one passenger
on the car, Mrs. mily Matthews, and
she remarkablyenough escaped injury.
Motormun Raymond was thrown over
the front platform of the‘cur as it
jumped over the curb but beyond a few
bruises Was not injured, but he laid in
close' iproxemity to the car wheels
which would undoubtedly have passed
over him had the car proceeded two
feet- further. Mr. Josiah Dodge, and
Mrs. A. B. Wood, of Halstead, Pa.,
who is visiting friends in town, hap-
pened to be passing at the time and
both had a narrow escape from being
run down. Eye-witnesses of the acci-
dent say that the car' was going ata
very rapid speed around the curve and
tracks, a statement that is borne out by
the fact that it ran over the curb and
sidewalk, a distance of fully twenty
feet before stopping. Superintendent
Dunbar was sent for and in ashort"
time had the car back on the tracks.
About the only damage done was the
wrecking of too fence and the cutting
up of the sidewalk.

Tramway line Sunday afternoon. Car
No. 22 started out from Gregory’s

Yesterday, William' J. O'Brien, a

clothes including a silk hat and cane,

on earth.
He concluded to go to Roton Point,
and went to the yards on the Consoli-
dated r-ailrosd wharves in this city,
thinking to ride to Wilson Point. This
was about one o’clock. '
As the “switcher” came along he made
an attempt to jump on the engine, but‘
missed his hold and fell on the tracks,
the wheels of the tender passing over
him and crushing his life out.
The switcher wasstopped as soon as
possible and the badly mangled remains
of the unfortunate man were drawn
from the tracks.
Coroner Burke was summoned and
found that the victim’s back was broken,
his limbs were horribly mangled, ‘and
frightful contusions on his head. '
The remains were transferred to the
morgue of D. W: Raymond and pre-
pared for burial. They will be taken
to South'Hadley Falls, this afternoon.

age, and it is understOOd had a Wife liv-

KNOCKED FROM HIS WHEEL.
At the Fair grounds, yesterday a.ter-
noon, alad named George M. Barry,
from Danbury, and entered in the boys’
race, was run into by a bicycle rider
who gave his name as J. F. Began, and
his home Westport. The blame for the
collision‘seems to have been altogether
on the part of Bogan. Young Barry’s
injuries were of such a nature that he
was unable to compete in the race.
His injuries were prescribed for by

When the largest rush occurred there
were seven cars at thegrounds in wait-

that his suspicion was not misplaced.
He caughta son of the baker in the act
of stripping a pear tree of its fruit and
collared the lad and took him to a

Farewell Sermon to His
Peonie.
Leaves NorwalK for Waterbury.
5
Never in the history of this town,
probably, was there as large and as sad
and sorrowful a congregation assembled
as that at St. _Mary’ 11 church on Sun-
day, to listen to the farewell sermon of
Rev. Father Slocum, who in loyal
obedience to his vows to his church au-
thorities, announced to his loving peo-
ple that the Bishop had ordered him to
sever his ties here and to take charge
of the larger and more important par-
ish of the Immaculate Conception, at
Waterbury. This is a church of eight
thousand souls and deemed one of the
most important in the state, and while
the good Father is to be congratulated
on his signal promotionfit is with aheavy
heart that he leaves his church and
people here where he has spent twelve
of the‘ best years of his life. His feel-
ings are best expressed in his own
Words to the Bishop when invited to his
new charge—“No charge can ever be
so dear to me as that at St. Marys, and
no people closer to my heart than the
people of Norwalk. My hope and most
ardent wish has ever been that I "might
be permitted to live and die among this
people and find a last resting place in
N orwalk.”
Nevertheless, the Bishop deemed the
Waterbury field one promising greater
usefulness in the Master’s service for
Father Slocum, and so ordered the
severence of his sacred ties and asso~
ciations here.
It has been well understood for a
long time past that Father Slocum’s
Well known abilities would soon or late
result in his being called up higher by
his church authorities. Father Slocum
has been a pastor of the largest and
broadest, Catholicity of spirit and is
always in pleasant accord with all who
sincerely desire the welfare of his fel-
loIW men and the advance and triumph
of the Redeemer’ s kingdom in the
world. He has always had the con-
fidence and esteem, if not indeed, the
affectionate personal regard of the
Protestant pastors anl‘ people of our
town. His departure from Norwalk
will be as deeply regretted by the non-
Catholic as by the people of his own
faith.
Prior to coming to Norwalk Father
Slocum was in the service of his church
in Hartford for nearly two years and in
New Haven for nearly seven years. His
twelve years ministry here has resulted
in the creation of a new and large parish
at South Norwalk and a large'mission
offshoot ofSt. Mary’s churchat New
Canian. List Sunday evening Father
Slocum went to the latter parish to say
farewell to his friends and parishioners
there, where he is as ardently beloved as
here in his own St. Mary’s.
On Sunday next Rev. Father Winters,
of Carmel, New Haven county, assumes
the pastorate of the new South Norwalk
church society and will hold his first ser-
vice at Music Hall. Father Winters
cames here astranger but highly com-
vmended by all who know him as an
acomplished gentleman and zealous
vWOrkerin the Master’s vineyard.
One of the kindly acts of Father
Slocum, on leavmg N orwalk, was to
two parishes in Norwalk; one-half to
St. Mary’s and one—half to the new
church at South Norwalk. His life
has been full of just such benefactions,
injunction to feed and not shear His
sheep. He was born in Winsted. Co'nn.,
Feb. 6, 3851. He tried to enlist in the
Union army out was refused admission
because of his youth. Nevertheless,
he is a patriot. a good citizen and ex-
emplary christian gentlemen.
He occupies the church of his new
charge for the first time on Sunday
next and enters upon his new duties
and grave responsibilities, with the
best wishes and benediction of every
good citizen of Norwalk.
Father Slocum’s succcessor at St.
Mary’s will not be definitely determin-
ed upon until after the eleventh of the
present month, when a choice will be
made after a careful examination, from
the highest in the eligible list of priests
in this diocese. That his successor
may prove worthy to follow in the foot-
steps of the retiring pastor is the sincere
wish of all.

meeting around the Opera House doors
