HOME Coast Artillerymen Had Very 1314 Successful Ten Days at Fort Wright—Both Companies Scored Hits — Connecticut Troops Praised by Regular Army Officers—Real Re- serves, They Say. Bronzed from ten days of outdeor duty and all looking the picture of health, the men of the Third and Fifth companies, C. A. C, C. N. G., returned home here to the armory Saturday aft- ernoon after their ten days of duty 'at Fort H. G. Wright on Fishers Is land. The Fifth company, Captain W. G. Tarbox with 60 men and three officers was the first home, coming in on the Montville trolley line about 4 o'clock, and the Third company, Captain George E. Church, with 46 mer and three officers, came about an hour later by train to the New Haven station. The boat brought the twelve com- panies from Fishers Island to New London soon after one o'clock. The battalilon gave a parade in New London. According to the transportation schedule arranged by the government, the Norwich companies were to have about four hours to walt in New London before they could be sent home by train on the New Haven road as they were routed to reach here about 7 o'clock. The Danielson com- pany was to precede them by about two hours and the Norwich officers tried to have arrangements made to have the cars for them attached to the train that was to take the Daniel- sor company, but the raiiroad officials declined to do this on the ground that the two extra cars for the Norwich companies would be more than the cn- gine could handle. Learning this, the Fifth company men decided to take the trolley as £oon as the parade was over and pay their own fare home, leaving the bag gage to come later. The Third com- pany managed to get home on the train without waiting till 7 o'clock as had been planned for them. The camp year this year was des- cribed as a most satisfactory one in| many respects and in one point at least it was a record breaking camp for all twelve companies got through all their trial shots and record shots on guns and mortsrs in one day. Ten out of the twelve companies made a ait, which is an unusual record, also and indicates how unhealthy it might be for anything cruising around with- in range of the forts even if it were not manned by the regulars. The regular officers were highly pleased with the showing and declared that the Connecticut coast artillery men had demonstrated that they were real- 1y reserves. Both the Norwich companies were among those that scored hits the Third company on its first shot. The health of the men generally was good, the weather was favorable, and the men enthusiastic. the gun crews all doing good work standing to their posts and keeping their hands off their ears when the guns were fired. This was a point that had been emphasized in thelr instructions and the men de- served all the more credit for it as =0 many of them were having this ex- perfence for the first time. Their ears are not without protection from the #hock of the discharge of the guns, for the surgeons see that all are pro- vided with cotton which is placed in their ears for protection. Captaln Tarbox of the Fifth com- pany had the pleasant experience on one day of acting as major of the second battallion, and Lieutenant Charles R. Nichols commanded the company. This year for the first time the new khaki cloth tents which the state pro- vides were used, the men occupying pyramidal tents which accommodate eight men instead of the old type of tent which accommodated two men. Sunday the Thirteenth regiment from Brooklyn, N. Y., came to Fort Wright for a fifteen day tour of duty: They will occupy the tents just va- cated by the Connecticut men.

Driscoll, the soprano singe: he presented her a handsome gold bracelet inscribed as follows: “Pre- sented to Sadie A. Driscoll by Mary's parish choir, June 28. 1914, The pastor said that the gift was of- fered in recognition of honors at- tained at the Willimantic Normal school, from which she had graduated as a school teacher during the past week. He further said in the course of his remarks that though her fini- tlals were S. A, D, it was no indica- tion that sadness would ever enter her carcer and that they all hoped her future life would be one of much joy and happiness. He congratulated her on the honors she had attained in advancing from the desk tb the platform and gave her his blessing. Miss Driscoll was completely taken y ur e and showed her emotion as she had_entered the assembly room with no inkling of what was to come. She thanked FFather Fitzmaurice for his kind wishes and sentiments ex- pressed and also thanked the choir | for the esteem and kind heartedn which prompted the remembrance. Miss Driscoll has been the leading | soprano singer of the choir for the past three vears during which she has endeared herself to all the membe by her charming personality.

A. conducted an open air meeting at the Buckingham M Monday afternoon with good attendance consider coolness of the weather. Rev Wyckoff of the Second Congregational church was the speake: R. W. Otis | played the cornet and Miss Harriet Coit presided at the portable organ j Rev. Mr. Wyckoff chose for his sub ject, Seeing the Unseen, and among some of the things he sald were the i following: There are lots of things we don't see but we believe. We have | perhaps never seen a man’s brain, but we know and believe that he has one. All that we need sometimes is the heip to see. People who are blind are not so bling as_those who can see and won't see. Worse than they are those who think they see and don't see. They are the hardest to make see. A certain man, Jesus, went through | this world approaching groups of peo- ple with blind eyes and opened their eyves so that they might see and he tried and did make people look the right way. Lots of people go to the ‘White mountains to see the human face carved by nature on the rocks and at first cannot locate it until they have been shown where to look. Is it fair for us to say that there is no religion because we cannot see it just like the seeker for the face in the mountain. Surrender yvourself to Him and look from the right place and with the right eves. Discussed Milk Distributing Station.

Begins Proceedings to Set Aside Will Dis- posing of $425,000 Estate. e A Willlam Bowran Eccles of Preston, Lancashire, England, only brether of the late John Eccles of this city, ap~ peared in the probate court here Sat- urday merning before Judge Nelson J. Ayling and began proceedings to have the will of John Eccles set At the probate court William B. Ec- cles was represented by Attorney Wil- NHam H. Shields, one of his counsel in the case and an appeal was taken from the probate court to the superior court to be held in New London in Septem- ber next. Mr. Eccles has engaged as his lawyers, Hull, McGuire & Hull of New London, Gross, Hyde and Ship- man of Hartford and Attorney Shields. The will was admitted to probate on April 1ith, 1914, and The Rhode Island Hospital and Trust company, of Providence, R. L, qualified as execu- tor of the same, In his will John Eccles left his only brother a legacy of 00, out of an estate which the Inventory and ap- praisal has shown amounts to over $425,000. Substantially all this prop- erty was left to religious and_ char- itable Institutions by John Eccles, whose only heir at law was his broth- er, Willlam B. Eccles, as John Eccles had no children and his wife to whom he had been married many years had died before him. The relations of the two brothers, it is sald, were always of an effection- ate, confidential and devoted character, | each performing the kindest offices for | the other. Had no will been made, William B, Ee sole heir, would have taken ali ihe estate by the laws of Connecticut. In the wiil no reason is given by John Eccles for leaving the very small legacy to his brother and no reason therefore is exist. It is rumored that the provi- sions of the will are contrary to an existing compact made by the broth- ers in regard to their affairs. At the time the will was proved in the pro- bate court William B. Eccles was in England and had no notice or oppor- known to tunity to appear in that court In op- | position to the will, He came here in the early part of this month and shortly after his ar- rival was served by the probate court with the customary notice, which gave him the usual thirty days in which to take an appeal from the probate court. William B. Eccles, who is ‘a man of very small means, now claims that the will of John Eccles is invalid and should be set aside and later it is said specific reasons will be filed in the superior court setting forth fully the objections to the will.
