NORMALLY INJURED IN
 AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENF I
BRIDGEPORT DENTIST LOSES
 CONTROL OF MACHINE.

Dashes With Him over an Embank- ment-Picked Up Unconscious by
 Trolley Men-severaI of His Ribs
 Fractured and One Driven Into Lung
 Family Had Just Left Machine.
 Bridgeport, April 17.-Dr. George C.. Eighme. a prominent dentist of this city. will doubtless lose his life as the result of an automobile accident this afternoon at o'clock that happened at near Ash creek, the dividing line be- tween Bridgeport and Fairfield. pr. Eighme lost control of his machine which he had bought only two weeks ago and it went over an embankment at the side of the road, throwing him, the only occupant, into lot the other side of the woll, the automobile fair ly landing on him. Several of the doc tors ribs were fractured and one of his ribs punctured his left lung. He was picked up unconscious by the trolley car employees and carried to his home, 7O5 Wood avenue, where it was said to- night that his death is expected at any time.
 Only a few moments before the acci- dent occurred. the members of Dr. Eighme's family, his wife and two chill dren. had left the automobile in Fair field and boarded trolley car for Bridgeport as tire of the auto re- ceived a puncture and fattened out. Dr. Eighme considered it best to put his family on the car and take the ma chine to Bridgeport as light as possible. He had not had great deal of experi- ence in handling it and just how the control of it was lost is not known.
 He was seen speeding at a rapid rate along the road near Ash creek when suddenly the automobile swerved and went into the wall. Before Dr. Eighme could move the heavy machine fell on him and it was some moments before the big carriage was lifted from his prostrate form.

 Panic Ragged Long After the Fire Had
 Been Distinguished = Sisters Among
 the Victims.
 Indianapolis. April 17.-Whne the city fire department, reinforced by companies from the suburbs, was being taxed to it's utmost, fighting the Occi- dental hotel fire this morning, an alarm was turned in from St. Vineent's hos pital.

 The injured:
 Miss Kate Beach. believed to be fa- tally injured by falling from the third floor while trying to escape by means of a rope made of bed-clothing.
 Sister Superior Stella, seriously injur- ed by shock following surgical oper- ation.
 Sister Nordica, seriously injured by shock.
 William Schneider, patient who was undergoing an operation.

Lieutenant Weichert's Body.
 Danbury, April 17.-Thousands of per- sons crowded into the depot and along the central streets of this city tonight on the arrival of the body of Lieutenant E. A. Weichert, who was killed in the explosion on the battleship Missouri last Wednesday off Pensacola. The body arrived at the depot at 8:30, and it was with difficulty that the members Eof Company G, Third regiment, c. N. G., were able to escort it to the First Congregational church on account of the great crowds that were in the streets and that lined the sidewalks. It seemed as though half the city's peo- pie were near the depot, taking that means of paying their respect to the hero whose death is deeply mourned in Danbury.
 The casket was taken from the train by the members of the militia and soon was smothered in beautiful wreaths and flowers. It was taken through White and Main streets to the church and remained there all night, Company G standing guard during the entire night.
 Lieutenant Weichert's funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at S::30 at the Congregational church and will be public.
 It was first announced that his body would arrive here at 10:20 this morning and for that reason over thousand persons gathered at the depot, but soon left when it was announced that the train bearing the body would not arrive until tonight.

STUDENT THIEVES CAPTURED
THE BAND ROUNDED UP IN
 BOSTON.
Detective Donnelly Identifies n Lot of Goods stolen in This City-Gets Con- fessions From Two of the Men--Have
 Been Robbing Yale Campus and Be- Iieved to Have Committed "Gyms Robbery-some of the stolen Goods
Brought Back Here.

Brought Back Here.
 Detective Henry J. Donelly, who left this city for Boston and Providence last Friday for the purpose of trying to dis cover some clues to the Yale campus and gymnasium robberies. returned to this city yesterday morning, and as us-4 ual this efficient officer had discovered what he was after, and gained evidence by which he will be able to clear up most of the robberies.
 The numerous Yale robberies which have been committed recently have been the source of considerable annoy ance to the police, and Captain Cowles and Detective Donnelly, after care- ful examination decided that the jobs were being done by men from out of town, and that the plunder was being taken out of this city. Working on this theory Captain Cowles sent De- tective Donnelly to Providence and Bos- ton to investigate.
 In Providence, where the detective went first, he recovered a gold watch in pawn shop which had been stolen from F. H. Phipps, a student at Yale, and who resides at F Hillhouse avenue. Captain Cannon of the Providence po- lice assisted the detective in his search, but nothing else was found in that city
 Detective Donneliy then went to Bos- ton, where, a few hours previous to his arrival, the Cambridge police had arrested four young men for robberies which had been committed at Harvard The men are Kenneth A Wade 23 years old of 209 Hamilton street, Bos- ton, a stenographer employed by the Providence Security company of Bos- ton; Thomas A. J. Hodgson, s23 years old, sketch artist, living at 54A Broad way, Boston; Daniel Easterbrook, P years old a clerk of AZ Holyoke street, Boston, and James Bancroft, of Han cock street, Boston.
 From evidence gained by Detective Donnelly there is no doubt that two of the men committed several of the rob berries here, while 1t is believed that the other two are implicated as partial re- ceivers of the stolen goods in many in- stances.
 Detective Donnelly stated last even- ing that there is no doubt that the men have been making a circuit of at least three colleges-Yale, Harvard and Brown-and committing many robber- ies.
 The men arrested are all fine looking young fellows and from their general
