 Accident.

Mrs. Hormidos Ouinnette of the West Side was called to the home of her parents in Spencer Tuesday on a sad errand- Her brother lrchfe J. Alvey, has died since the following account of the accident that he met with appeared under a Spencer date In a. Worcester paper Tuesday:
 Archie J. Alvey, IT year old son of MT. and Mrs Alphonse Alvey. Dewey street, lost both legs below the knees under a Worcester bound freight train Boston and Albany division at 9.15 o'clock tonight.

not have been discovered until too late to check it's advance, but, thanks to his blunderS as it is MT. Pond will not be heavy loser.
 Tho Firebug Caught.
 Charged with breaking and entering the house of Theodore D. Pond Tn Brooklyn and setting it afire early Tuesday morning, Herbert Baker, AS, of Pomfret Landing. is a prisoner in of $1,500 which Justice William R. Thurber fixed as the price of his free- dom, after a hearing at Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon.
 Baker pleaded not guilty to the charges, but probable cause was found for holding him. His arrest resulted from some good detective work on the Park and James Moran of the jail force, Constable Edwin Bennett and State Policeman Robert Hurley or Hartford, who was called into the case.
 Tracks in plowed ground in the rear of the Pond house were followed and lost, and picked up again and again for several miles until they finally led to the Baker home in Pomfret- A search\of the house brought to light a coat saturated with kerosene and on the strength of this Baker was later arrested on one of Fayette Wright s farms in Pomfret, where he had been working. The shoes that he had on fitted exactly into the tracks about the Pond house, these being so clear as to leave the imprints of the heelplates on Bakers shoes as additional evidence against him.
 The accepted motive for the charges alleged against the prisoner Is his de- sire to destroy the will of his father, Solomon Baker. who died in Brooklyn about three weeks ago, leaving Q little place valued at about $500 and about $500 in money. Mir. Pond drew the will and it is believed that Baker was con- vinced that it was in the house.

THIRTEENTH COMPANY

 Range Practice.

The sharp crack of rifles. the dron- ing hum and spitefui spat of bullets music that tickled the ears of the coast artillerymen of the Thirteenth company Tuesday when they went out on their range below Danielson for their annual May parade: It was a great day for the event, ideal for tar get work, and anything but a good imitation of what Sherman said war was. Capt. Ebert L. Darbie had his work after the arrival being the pitch ing of the shelter tents near the 800 yards range.
 All the morning was given up to work over the 2O0-yard range and some very good scores were made. Col Gilbert L. Fitch, C A.

O., of Danielson, inspector of small arms practice
 Four spin style targets were in op- eratfon in the pits and the men shot all the morning in squads of four.
 At noon the company did full jus tice to a bountiful dinner of fish chow der, hamburg steak, boiled potatoes, onions. bread butter, cheese. coffee and doughnuts. Cooks Hamilton and Wood prepared the meal
 In the afternoon the men shot over the 800 and 800 ranges, keeping up their good work of the morning
 The return of the cbmpany to Dan ielson just before o'clock was mark cd by a ceremony new to the people of Danielson and impressive as 1t is wherever seen This was the cere- 1nony of retreat, marked by the lower ing of the colors from the arnaory with the company standing at attention and the bugier playing the regulation call.
