 Sunday Court Session-Othcr Items.
 Except for holdings valued at prob ably $1,500 William Allderidge divid- ed his property among relatives before his death a few weeks ago, according to information given in the probate court in connection with the filing of his will for record. During his last illness, MT. Allderidge deeded to his ings which he owned, preferring to make personal division of his estate rather than allow it to be handled through the usual channels
 Friends estimate that he was worth about S25,OO0 when he died. MT. Allderidge was a shrewd investor and during his life he managed to save considerable money. He was the en- bodiment of frugality and he pros pered slowly but steadily.
 His will was accepted by Judge George R. Byington after a hearing held in the probate court Saturday. The document was drawn in 1906 and by it's terms, the estate was to be di- vided among the family, one-half gO- ing to the widow, the children to get the balance. At the time it is evident MT. A1lderidge proposed to have the estate settled by the probate court as he named three executors, his widow, his son-in-law, Charles Deane and Dr. c. W. Moody to see that his wishes regarding its distribution were carried out.
 Four of his children were then liv- ing. Two of them have since died and their share of the small amount which now constitutes the value of the estate will go to their heirs.
 The South block on Whiting street Mr Allderidge is said to have deeded to his children while his widow was given the one adjoining.
 Appraisers for the estate have not as yet been named.
 Fell Into River.
 Attempting to board the caboose of a west bound freight train a Bris- tOl young man named Bailey made a misstep yesterday afternoon and in stead of getting on the train he fell between the trestles west of the pas senger station and dropped into the Pequabucll river below. He luckily escaped without serious hurts.
 With several other young men Bailey came here from Bristol to at tend the baseball game at Aliens field. They attempted to make the return trip via freight. Bailey was the first to try to hop aboard and when he fell the others ran away.
 Bailey's face was badly scratched from the ties which he struck in his descent. He landed in shallow water and scrambled to the bank unaided. The train was stopped, the crew fear ing that the young man had been badly hurt.
