DIVIDEND FOR EMPLOYEES.
Lighting Company Adopts New Plan
 for It's Help.

Beginning today the new Salary and Welfare Plan" of the United Electric Light and Water company goes into effect for all the employees who have been in the service or the company for one year or more. Fro- vision have been made by the com pany for the setting aside of five per cent. of it's net income before pay ing dividends, for the salary dividend and welfare plan.
 The following is the classification of the employees:
 Class A shall consist of those who have been in the employ of the con- pany for two years or more. Class B shall consist of those who have been in the employ of the com pany for a period of one year or more, and less than two years. One half of the amount set aside for salary dividend and welfare fund will be distributed in cash quarterly to the Class A and Class B employees of the company in the form of a diVi- dend on their salary and wages for the quarter the other half to be put in a welfare fund and held by board of managers for the benefit of the employees.
 It is proposed to make CnlS ulSLIlDu- tion every quarter. The first distri- button will be made in April for the quarter ending March 31, 1916, and the amount set aside will be 5 per cent of the net income for that quarter.
 The cash distributed as salary divi- dends' will be distributed proportion- ately based upon the wages of each employee for the quarter and the percentage paid each Class A em ployee The amount put in the well fare fund will be divided so as to show the participation of each em- ployee in such fund on the same basis.
 Provision is made that when the welfare fund reaches a certain am Ount the income from the investment shall be distributed proportionately among the employees. Provision is made also so that employees leaving the service of company with good records and under proper conditions shall receive their representa- ton in the welfare fund which has been accommodating. Provision is made for lending money in the welfare fund to employees who may be temporarily in need of finan- cial assistance. A board of managers, consisting of the executive officers of the company will lave control of the welfare fund, who shall receive no compensa tion of any kind for the services in connection with the fund,

IAMBERT'S CASE IS HEARD.
Painter Who Was Injured at Local
 Concern in Unique Position.

An important technicality arose yesterday at a hearing in the com- pensation commissioners office as to whether an employe who is occa- sionally employed by concern is en- titled to compensation in the event of injuries. The question arose over the claims of William Lambert a painter, who sustained a broken leg while at work for Armour & Co. on December 10
 According to the claims of the company, Lambert was first employed by the concern in Fall River, Mass. and on the termination of the work he was told that he might secure work in Norwich if he paid his own transportation to that city. This he did, and the same condition occurred when he was sent to this city. The company claimed that Lambert's work was not a part of the process or work of the company.
 A voluntary agreement was reached between the parties involved whereby the company will pay Lambert S9 2. week during the time of his incapaci- tatiOn.

1ST NATIONAL BANK
 ON THE OTHER SHIN
Otherwise Hartford Woman Might
 Have Been Minus $4OO

Hartford, Feb 29.-The faith of
 Mrs. Dietz of 115 Mechanic street in her stocking as a depository for her wealth is beginning to Waver, for
 reason brought out in police court.
 Even at night Mrs. Dietz kept her
 savings where she felt they were
 secure. Her confidence received an awful shock Sunday night, according
 to the story she told the police. She donned woolen stockings in
 which to sleep, for the night was cold, and placed s4O0 in bills in her own
 private bank, which happened to be the right stocking Near daybreak this morning some one entered her
 bedroom window and tried to tear the stocking away.
 A terrific struggle ensued, and the
 marauder was forced to flee. The
 money did not. go with him, for there vas slight error in the mans cal culat1ons. He got hold of the wrong leg.
 Mrs. Diez identified Mike Arene Wlch of Ellory street as the man who hung around her window for some time on different evenings and had Eeen chased away. She is sure he had been there once when she was putting on her stocking and knew the secrets of her banking facilities. De- tectlVe Sergeant Brazel arrested Aren- W1ch, and in court today his lawyer James A. Curry, entered a plea of not
 guilty to charges of burglary and at tempted theft from the person, asking for a continuance to Thursday under bonds of $500

ICE PONDS SANITARY.
Health Superintendent ReeIxs Finds
 No Sewage in Water

Health Superintendent T. E. Reeks, vho is engaged in making an analysis of the water from ice taken from various ponds around the city where ice is cut for municipal purposes, is finding it unusually pure. Thus far lis analysis has been of samples from two large ponds and he finds the water perfectly good for ice.
 In fact it has tested up as good as Shuttle Meadow lake. The chemical and meteorological conditions are excellent. The cultures developed in- dlcate the presence of no harmful organisms which means the ice is germs.

Concern Is Making Explosives for Allies But Officers Be- leve Wrecking of Building to Have Been of Ac-
 cidenta Nature-Loss Is About $50, ,OOO

Woburn, Mass, Feb. 29-An ex- the New England Mfg. Co.,, which is engaged in the making of high ex- plosives for the entente allies, wreck ed one building and damaged an- broke out was held well in check and did not reach com bustible property on all sides, but was still shoulder ing several hours later. Of the eight men who were at work on the night shift in the department demolishtd, only one, Frank H. COrnett, fore man, was injured.
 Explosion Accidental.
 All indications today based on statements of company officials in- cluding William E. Mckay of Bos- ton, it's president, were that the ex- plosion was accidental. A rumor that one of the guards had started to investigate a noise which he thought might have been made by a man climbing the fence which surrounds the buildings just before the explO sion, was the only suggestion of an outside agency in connection with the disturbance. This report was brought out by 8 fireman, who said he did not know, and could not iden- tify the man who told him.
 The company's explanation was that certain clements in explosive compound known as trinitrotoluol failed to fuse when they were thrown together in a vat Instantly there was a hissing sound followed by flash of flame when an unexpected chemical action developed, and then an explosion which demolished the building in which this vat was To- cated. A building 100 feet away, in which benzo1 was prepared, was partly wrecked by the explosion, but it's chemical product was unaffected.
 Kissing Warns Workmen.
 Eight men were at work in the building known as the TT. ". T." shop when the accident occurred. Seven of these men were in the vat room. The hiSsing of the chemicals was the first signal of danger and the men fled. They were hurled to the ground as they ran. but were only slightly bruised.
 Cornett, the night foreman of the TT, N. T.' shop was in the office, making out a report. The fleeing did not have time to notify him of his danger. He saw a flash, he said, wondered a moment what it meant and then lost consciousness. The building had literally fallen about Cornett. He was still sitting in his chair, wedged against well when he recovered consciousness. He crawled over the debris until his cries rought assistance. At the room of the Merrimac Chemical company. whose plant ad- joins that of the New England con- pany, to which he was taken, phy-l sicians stated that he was not badly hurt.
 But for the fact that there was only a small supply of chemicals in the

] tr1n1trotoluol building, some employees l said the entire plant which covers ten l acres ana comprises a score of build 1 ings, would nave been destroyed. A 1 fire there six weeks ago had crippled 1 this department until two days ago,
 when work was resumed.
 l Several Fires in Six Months. 1 This fire was one of several which 1 together with minor explosions, have occurred within six months. In each case, officials of the company said l there were indications that the trouble was directly due to causes which were considered natural in the hazard ous work in which the company is en- l gagged. They had taken no notice at 1 any time, they said, of reports that l the plant was to be blown up because of it's war munition activities. The company officers kept within the plant throughout the morning the 1 seven men who were in the vat room. Visitors were denied admittance. Dr. Gorge B. Magrath, medical ex- aminer of Suffolk county, however, ] who visited the scene stated he had no official standing in the matter, as 1t was outside his Jurisdiction. The TT. N. IT. building, pr. Magrath said, was almost 1evelled by the explosion, having collapsed entirely. The benzol building was damaged but not consid-
 eraoly Other shops were affected only slightly.
 The medical examiner subsequently, reported his observations unofficially
 to Walter Wedger, the explosives and chemical expert attached to the state
 police. The latter said he would make official 1ot in ho
 Shock Felt Twelve Miles Away.
 The shock of the explosion was far reaching. It dropped a picture on the head of an aged women, Mrs. Caroline Ewing, who was ill in her home about two miles away; broke glass and tossed objects in the immediate vicin- 1ty and shook plate glass windows at points so far distant as Boston, twelve miles to the south.
 The work of the plant in depart ments other than the ''T. N. T.'' went on today as usual. Inspectors of the several foreign governments on duty there were early at the yard to view the ruins. These were still flaming somwnat when the day shift came on. but streams of water were being poured on the wall between the fire and the buildings containing explo- Sives.
 The plant of the New England Mfg. company is in the North Woburn sec~ tion, removed from any other occu- pied property except that of the Mer- rimac Chemical company, adjoining which is engaged in similar business. The building destroyed, one of a score within the plant was a two story brick fRd{ steel structure valued at about seo,poo.
 For weeks the plant, surrounded by a. nigh fence topped with barbed wires which are charged with electric itv hoks been under guard by a force recr,s+Al from former members of the army and navy.
