Varnum s. Tucker, who has been in the employ of the city of Providence for over quarter of a century as en- gineer on steam rollers, for some time before succeeding his father as master mechanic of the city yard, died at his home in that city Friday afternoon. Years ago he entered the employ of the Providence and Stonington railroad and was promoted to be engineer, shortly thereafter resigning to accept employment with the Rhode Island Lo- comotive works, and then went to the highway department, operating the first road roller to be used in the city of Providence.
 He had thrilling experience while a fireman on the railroad and at the tine received much praise for the act of daring. When the train upon which ne was firing was rounding curve near Noank he saw small boy on the tracks. The locomotive whistle snriek- ed, but the child paid no heed. It was piaiI1 to the young fireman that the train could not be stopped in time to save the boy from death. He crawled out of the cab to the cowcatcher and, holding on with one hand, he clutched the child with the other and saved his life.
 Mr. Tucker was born in Stonington Tucker. and leaves a. widow and one son, Varnhm A. Tucker. Burial will be at stonington today (Monday).

HARRINGTON NORMAL SCHOOL.

The oldest Normal school in Maine will
celebrate it's semi-centennial Monday,
August "a. Fifty years ago that exact
date the first class of the new Normal
school assembled in Beal's hall, Farming
ton, to begin it's work, Ambrose r;
Kelsey, principal. The new Normal
school building on the site of the old
Pennington academy was not ready for
occupancy, hence the use of Beaps hall.
The first class graduated in 1866, thirteen
in number, and so far as is known all its
members are now living and many of
them will be at the anniversary gather
ing.
The school has sent out almost two
thousand graduates. 1t is hoped that
hundreds Of graduates, former pupils,
teachers and friends Of the school, will
return August "a to renew old associa-
tions and assist in the observance of the
day.
A feature of the occasion will be the
presentation by the alumni of a bronze
bas-relief of the late George c. Puring-
ton, for twenty-six years the efficient
principal of the school.
1t is expected, too, that the new
dormitory which is the latest addition to
the material equipment Of the school
plant will be dedicated at that time.

when 4 hov Mis- father had been well.to-
do, had hsa "a country place" and dur
ing his summers there, Sedgwick had
come to know little OF actual contact
with the soil.
In January there came a shake-up on
his newspaper. Some Of the men had
their salaries reduced, others had their
places changed, some lost them alto
gether. Sedcwick was not one of the
latter. but he had new duties assigned
him and his hours were little longer.
his work little harder, and the memory
of the Warner farm grew more and more
insistent. One day he wrote to Hard
WICK, his lawyer friend. The answer
came back. Eyes. have seen Mr..
Warner. He wants $1,000 for the place
and what there is there. l think you
can buy it for little less and on your
own terms"

ensued between brother and sister.

would ask. 81 know we would like it

winter? Why. the nearest neighbor is
