LOCAL RESIDENT IS
 STRUCK BY 'D|NKY'
Maurice Quirk Removed to Hos- pital, Following Accident

] Maurice J. Quirk, aged about SO years, of 75 smalley street, had a mar l row escape from death last evening at 1 555 o'clock when he was struck by 1 a Hartford "dinky" about 30 feet west of the Stanley street railroad crossing at Franklin street. He was removed 10 the New Britain General hospital with several broken ribs and other internal injuries where 1t was rel-rted this morning that he was resting comfortably,
 Thrown Into Ditch.
 After being struck by the tran Quirk was thrown into a ditch along side of the track containing about two feet of water, where he might have drowned had 1t not been for J Balch- man. gate tender at the crossing, who pulled him out of the ditch.
 Quirk, who is employed by the Beaton company on Whiting street, was taking a short cut to his home, 1t is said According to Balchman, the only witness to the accident, the man was walking along the middle of the tracks apparently unmindful of the approach of the light running train which was carrying passengers only. With the sudden stop of the train and other staccato blasts of its whistle, many passengers alighted to see what the trouble was.
 Other Train Delayed.
 The train was in charge of Engin- ger J. c. Steamer of Hartford, and Conductor F. A. Barber of Spring field. Mass. and left the local pas senger depot at $50 o'clock preced- ing the Waterbury express. The lat ter train was delayed for about 30 minutes because of the accident
 Quirk is we'll known New Britain resident and has been identified with baseball in this city for many years. About 30 years ago he was considered one of the best players in this section of the state and played on many fac tory teams. Of recent years he has been considered an excellent umpire of baseball.

FIRE BOARD FINES
 FIREMAN CARLSON
Two Days Pay Is Penalty lm- posed for Making a Mistake

The board of fire commissioners at meeting held last night imposed fine Of two days pay on Fireman Ed ward Carlson, Of Engine company No 5, and also reprimanded him, for an offense which embraced alleged lack of judgment When he appeared be- fore the commissioners, Carlson ad- mitted that he had been careless in the matter of reading the taps which records the fire box number, and In 20 doing the company responded to a box where there was no fire, few weeks ago,
 Carlson Explains.
 The offense in question concerned the alarm rung in from Box 2s, for slight blaze near the freight depot on Whiting street, Carlson said that when the alarm came in he was play ing cards Looking quickly at the tape, he thought that IL read Box 2a, and in view that this was a factory box he was in hurry to get the ap- paratus out as quickly as possible, According to Carlson, there is no regular watch system at Engine com pany No 5, and that the officers usually look at the tape before start ing for l fire, Carlson said that the captain was off duty on the occasion and the lieutenant was at supper.
 Difference of Opinion.
 Chairman keevers considered the ofense a grievous one, and said it was fortunate that the fire was not a serious one He recommended three days suspension and a repri- mand Commissioner William Blair disagreed with the chairman. He said that anyone is liable to make mistake and to cause man to lose s15 or SIS is imposing a hardship Commissioner George Cans said the matter should not be allowed to go unnoticed.
 Must Have Discipline.
 Discipline must be maintained in the department, Commissioner Cans said. Commissioner John Rogers said that policemen have been fined for missing ring and that the Carl son mistake was more serious.
 Commissioner Blair said he had spoken to the officers at Engine Com pany No 5, and they agreed with him that mistakes are liable 10 happen. He moved that the chief reprimand Carlson, without the loss of any time or pay The motion was not second ed
 Agree on Penalty.
 Commissioner Cans moved that Carlson be fined two days pay, and the motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Rogers, who made 1t plain that hereafter similar offenses will be dealt with more severely. IL was the con tention of Commissioner Blair that such cases as the Carlson one should be handled by the chief of the de partment and not brought before the board Chairman keevers said that ironing out the matter before the commissioners was the proper pro- cedure.
 Fire Contract Awarded.
 The boafd received several bids for supplying new tires for Engine Com pany No. 5. The common council will be asked to award the contract to the O'Neil Tire and Battery com pany, at a cost of s4S6 The Oddly Wheel company of Wallingford, will as provided in the tire contract be asked to cut the wheels as required.
