ELDERLY MAN AND
TEAM HIT BY TRAIN
Silas Gabree of Waterbury Had One
Shoulder Broken and Was Badly
Bruised.

Waterbury, Oct 5.-A serious acct
dent occurred on the crossing near the
station here last evening as the pas
senger train arriving at 5:04, 8 minutes
late, struck the wagon of Silas Gabree.
Mr., Gabree, a man rs years old and a
driver for the Waterbury Last Block
Co, was coming fom the factory pre-
paratory to putting his horse up at the
Eldridge barn The horse, said to be
of determined nature at times, was
attached to lumber wagon and it is
thought that the driver was unable to
stop the animal with the result that
II went directly in front of the oncom-
ing train The outfit appeared to have
been struck near the horse as the run
ming gear was completely destroyed
and the horse dragged by the engine
nearly 80 rods TO the milk station The
animal was horribly mangled
Mr. Gabree does not remember what
took place He was taken TO the
freight office. DR. c. s. Bidwell was
called to attend him and although the
man suffered broken left shoulder
and lacerations on the right side of his
head he was able to walk with assist
ance to a waiting automobile, i'll which
he was taken to his home Whether
or not other injuries exist will not be
known for a day or two, but the shock
of the accident, together with the ad
vanced age of Mr. Gabree, must be
taken into consideration.
The scene was visited by many dur
ing the evening and the gruesome sight
received only casual glances from the
pa assengers on the train, who hurried
from the coaches after the mishsp.
An interesting thing in connection
with the accident is that Mr.. Gabree's
brother, Henry, was killed near the
canning factory three years ago by a
train.

Barre Police Had An Ex-
ceptionally Light Report
for September
CITY COUNCIL
ACCEPTS REPORT
A Few Building Permits
Granted-Part of State
Tax Money Paid

The Barre police department took
in only four persons during the whole
month of September. This, in contrast
to IA during the same month last year,
made very light month and, seem
ingly, a law-abiding month There
were two breach of the peace arrests,
one intoxication and one for driving
an automobile while intoxicated. The
city council received the report and ac-
cepted it last night.
Business was short at the regular
session. On Building Inspector Rands
favorable reports, permits were granted
to B. Fumigalli to build garage at
AZ Granite street, to Canton Bros. to
build an addition to their stoneshed on
Smith street, to Antonio Alfonso to
move a henhouse from North Main to
North Seminary street, and to The
Texas Co. to build two steel buildings
off Railroad street, one building to be
for storehouse and the other for a
pump. Mr. Rand recommended that
the last named permit be granted only
on condition that the supporting walls
of the storehouse be heavier than the
specifications called for, and the council
coincided.
The street department reported that
nothing could be done in relation to a
culvert on Warren street except to
clean out the ditch at the lower end of
the gulley. which has been done. The
same committee reported against ac
eeptance of a certain portion of John
SON street until the street is worked
Both reports were accepted.
The payment of the state school and
state highway tax was, voted by the
council, warrant for s9.7s3.7l for both
amounts being drawn. A requisition of
sl,lT5 for support of the poor during
October was honored. Other bills paid
were: Street payroll, s464.32; en-
gineering payroll, S36.73; water pay
roll, Sl33.5s; fire payroll, sla5.45;
police payroll, 1856; G. L. Booth,

WAS COSTLY VICTORY
FOR GODDARD TEAM
Three Players Disabled in Game With
Norwich Freshmen at Northfeld-
Score IS to 0.

Goddard seminary's initial game fol
the season with Norwich university
| freshmen team at Northfeld became a
costly victory for the seminary.
Though the freshmen were defeated IL
0, three Goddard players were in
iured quite badly. Capt. Kelly, play
ing a star game at left halfback and
plotting some very successful attacks,
suffered a broken right collarbone ]ate
in the game, and will be out of the
game for the rest of the season. Full
back Finn sustained broken middle
finger on his left hand, and right half
back Wall was knocked out for several
hours and is to-day resting in Heaton
hospital at Montpelier.
II was hard fought game with God
dard seldom fearful of their opponents
scoring, as play for the most part was
in Norwich territory. Capt. Kelly made
several strong attacks and was lead
ing the onslaught time and again be
fore sustaining the injury in the third
quarter, successfully going around end
at different times for good gains. Mil
Ter. the ansky right tackle, who took
the stand of Kelly at halfback, plunged
through the military lines for the sec
ond touchdown of the game. Finn, the
fullback, carried the ball across the
Norwich lines for the first touchdown
of the season in the first quarter.
Wall, at right half, played great
game and was good ground gamer
throughout Bellville, at center, played
consistently with the two guards,
johnson and Shattuck, breaking
through the Norwich line for several
tackles Wing and August at ehds
broke up the Norwich interference
quite successfully.
Fullback Smith of Norwich freshmen,
l9l pound youngster, was hard
man to stop and together with Dens-
more at right half and Tug Slayton
at right tackle, the last two being for
mer Barre players, is given credit for
very effective work against the semi
nary team.
Despite the injuries received in the
game yesterday by Wall and Finn
they expect to be back in the game
Saturday when the team plays st.
Michsers college on the home grounds.
The jinx that has been following the |
Hill" squad first appeared last week
when Crowell. an end of no mean
merit, broke his collarbone in a scrim
mage. and Flanagan, a halfback and |
end, broke his left leg.
Furthermore, Coach Leahey was
slightly disheartened by losing at the
very start of the season two of the |
best candidates, John Guaghan, a fast
and Arthur Wilmot, a
of last years string, by their
departure for Westbrook seminary in

Manager Robinson of the

pressed Confidence In the
Ability of His Team De-
spite the Betting in
Favor of Cleveland.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct s.
Some $4,000 fans, the edge of whose
enthusiasm was no whit dulled by tht
White Sox baseball scandal, filled al
stands in Ebbets field to-day and saw
the Clevelands, pennant winners of tn,
American league, and the Brooklyns
the champions of the National league
do battle in the first game ofethi:
years worlds series. All seats were
sold when the players came on the field
and hundreds, many of whom had
stood in line since sunrise to buy seats
on the unreserved sections, were turned
away
Il have a fine team, eager to win
and | believe they will" said Manager
Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyns, in
the clubhouse before the game. Il am
not undertaking the C1evelands and
will agree that we are in for hard
fight"
The Clevelands did not get to town
until few hours before the game.
thereby upsetting all baseball preced-
ents of not practicing in strange
ball yard before worlds series.
II have always found diamonds OF
the same dimensions" said Iris Speak
er, "and for purposes. of this series we
are assuming the distance is ninety
feet between all bases on Ebbets field.
We expect to win and what more can
I sayf"
Colonel Ebbets, owner of the Brook
lyns, tipped over another precedent by
not having brass band for the delec-
tstion of the early corners. He said
any available space in the park should
be given to the fans. Accordingly,
spectators musicslly inclined whistled
popular airs and rang COW bells. while
Dthers declared world series without
brass band was another baseball
scandal
The unreserved stands were not
opened until after IL O'Clock and were
quickly filed by spectators. who stood
single file in long serpentine lines

pot get into the park flooded onto
high claybank-known to Brooklynites
rs Crownhill-that partly overlooked
the playing field. Scores perched them
selves on roofs of houses on adjacent
streets. while bricklayers working on
, building nearby struggled manfully
70 lay bricks by the touch system and
watch the game.
A superb day for baseball followed
iast on a night of wretched promise.
The weather cleared early and a warm
Iun and brisk breeze dried out the
moisture in the playing field, made
,odden by the nights thunder storm.
sround keepers had the infield in fine
Ihape and the players reported the
grounders came true.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 5, - The
American, British and French govern
ments have had some correspondence
regarding Mexico and the numerous
claims of their citizens resulting from
the 10 years of revolution in Mexico.
but state department officials deny
that any treaty against Mexico has
been negotiated. Reports that such a
treaty had been entered into originated
in Berlin and were attributed to high
official of the German government.
Great Britain and France are repre-
sented here as closely following the
lead Of the United States with regard
to Mexico, and officials say there is
little likelihood that they will accord
recognition to the new regime in Mex
leo in advance of similar action by the
United States. The matter of recogni-
tion still is being considered by the
state department, but an immediate
decision is not regarded as likely.
