SMASHED C. V. CABOOSE.
Freight Locomotive Caused Wreck
 Near Uncas Paper Go. Mill.

The locomotive of freight No. B, northbound, crashed into a caboose, left on the main track by a switching engine. on the Central Vermont rail- road at the yard of the American Strawboard company at Thamesvilla at Il o'clock on Friday morning. The caboose was overturned and reduced to mass of bent iron and kindling wood. Two other freight cars on the siding were derailed and the running gear of several of the cars on the northbound freight was injured. Tie switcher was shifting cars between the paper mills siding and the main track.
 Aided by a small crowd of Polish woman attracted by the opportunity of getting free fuel. the wrecking crew had the line clear by 2.30 o'clock. The 11.56 southbound passenger train went to New London over the New Haven roads tracks.
 A large crowd of onlookers watched the wreckers at work and the jealous efforts of the thrifty Polish inhabitants of the section attracted their share of attention. Before the dust from the wreck had barely rad time to settle, the women swarmed forth, axes in hand, and the overturned caboose fell before their onslaughts in no time, while their children stood back and guarded the piles of firewood. The rivalry was at one time so intense that two women, one inside and the other outside the car, were chopping away at the same board but in the end everyone got her share and went home happy.

OVERALL COMPANY MOVES
 TO ELEVATOR BUILDING
From Lake Street-Can Get More Help
 Nearer the West Side.

The Norwich Overall & Shirtwaist Co.,, which has occupied the upper floor
 of the Bacon building on Pond street for the past two years, has about com pleted moving into the-Elevator build
 ing on West Main street, where some
 4,000 to 5000 feet of floor space have
 been hired from the Storing & Leas
 ing Co., of Norwich. The Overall Co. will operate their machines iii the Ele-
 vator building by electricity, and if the expectations of the proprietors are
 carried out they will shortly require
 more space as their business extends.
 One of the proprietors stated Fri day that the change of location was
 made largely for the purpose of getting closer to the homes of their help In the Pond street location they say they found it impossible to induce help to
 go there, as most of them lived on the West Side. and they didn't want to travel so far to their work. In conse- quence of this shortage of help they [ were compelled to send much of their expensive work to New York to be finished. If they can get all the help
 they want they can do al lthe work here.
 Some new machines have been put in and about 28 are run now. If the building grows as the propiretors eX- pect they will soon be employing 75 people, they say, about double the pres
 ent number. They expect to be ready to start next week.
