Unless the recommendation of Gen- eral Bdwards, commander of the re- cently created northeastern depart- ment, is followed, the Thirteenth com- pany wil not be called out for war ser- viee until July 15. has recommended that New England, comprising the north- eastern department, be once. Interest in recruiting for the Nation- al guard seems to be reviving here. Captain F. E, Withee said Wednesday afternoon that he has secured six new recruits this week, increasing membership of the company to 94. Captain Withee desires at least enlistments, for while the full strength of the company is to be 109 men, and would now he over that mark were it not for the fact that ali but five mar- ried men have been discharged from the eompany, it is considered possible that there may be some rejections from the company ranks when the federal examination for physical fit- ness is given the men. The company will be in Dayville Sunday to participate in the Memorial exercises to be held at that place. As it has been expected for some time past that the company would not be here for Memorial day. no invitation has been received for them to partici- pate in Danielson’s Memorial day ex- ercises. In all probability, now that it Is known that the company i to be at home on Memorial day, such an Invi tation will be given by MeGregor post, G.'A. R, it was said Wednesday af- ternoon. The five married men remaining in the company are Sergeant Rapp, Sergeant Chester Brown, Cook C. A Hamilton, Joseph Collins and Private Blackmar. Nine Men in Overturned Car. A big Rhode Tsland touring car, car- rying nine persons, ail men, figured in an accident near Chepachei. The car skidded in sand at the side of the etate highway when the driver turned out to let a small car pass. The rear end clicked along against fence posts at the side of the road for a considerable distance and then the car again swerved and the front end plunged through the fence, the big machine rolling over twice as it went down the embankment. It is considered remarkable that all of the men escaped without serious injury. One man had a scratch on his face, and all were shaken up and ¢rightened, but outside of that they were not hurt in any serious degree This is due to the fact that the top of the car was up at the time. The men were pinned beneath the car, which ianded upside down, but all managed to crawl out, after a time. One-Way Traffic Suggested. Repeated slight accidents and near- accidents in which motor vehicles have figured recently while negotiating the crowded little section between the Ex- change building and the Bradley build- ing, near the postoffice, has led to the suggestion that a one-way traffic rule be made to eliminate the danger of collisions, now almost constant there. Car movements through the narrow and busy little stretch of stre>t num- ber hundreds daily. Welfare Worker at Mill. The Connecticut Mills company has added a welfare worker to its organ- ization and will maintain at the plant a rest room and hospital where em- ployes may be treated. The innova- tion here is in line with what is Heing done by many great corporations throughout the country. 2 The employes already have express- killed on Church afternoon while engaged in shos at the bottom of a six foot trench General Edwards the troops of called out at the 5 more Char'es S R Marion’s Back Broken When Sewer Trench Caves In—Death Fol- lows Rescue—Local Woman Ap- pointed on Central War Work Com- mittee—Country Club Plans Golf Tournament Memorial Day—Results of High School Tests. Isai Marion, 68, a city employe, was street Wednesday had been opened for the extension of sewer pipes, from the point where the line ends in Church street to Ravine street. A cave-in for a distance of about a dozen feet along the east side of the trench let the heavy mass of dirt down upon Marion's back, as he stooped over in the act of lifting a shovel of dirt, and buried him up to his should- ers. Fellow workmen rushed to his aid and dug furiously to extricate him. It was not long before he was freed, but when he was taken out he was unconscious, or very nearly so, was groaning and gasping for breath. Hurry calls were sent for physi- cians. Dr. J. J. Russell was the first to respond and later Dr. E. F. Perry and Dr. E. A. Merrell, medical exam- iner, arrived. 1t was found that Marion’s back was broken The ambulance Wwas sum- moned to take the badly injured man to the hospital, but he died within a very short time, before the arrival of the ambulance. The body was taken in_charge by L. E. Smith. The section of trench in which Ma- rion was working was dug, for the greater part of the lower part, through sand and, on the upper pari, gravel. There was no shoring in the trench and the treacherous bank caved with- out an instant’s warning. Harold Boswell and Peter Lockwood, fellow workmen, aided in digging Marion_free. Mr. Marion had been a resident of this city for more than 30 years. H was for a long time employed as yar man at the Ballou mill, but this spring went to work as an employe in the city's street department. He was an industrious citizen and was well known in the northern sec- tion of the city. He was a member of the Union St. John Baptist. Mr. Marion leaves ten children, all residents of this city—Fugene, Frank O. Adelard, Joseph, Emery, Albert, Lionel, Mrs. Henry Gagne, with whom he made his home, Mrs. John Cour- noyer, Mrs. Joseph Beaudreault. City Cancelled Insurance. An interesting circumsance in cen- nection with the aftermath of the ac- cident is the statement that, about a month ago, the city cancelled its com- pensation_insurance covering city em- ployes. This was done, it is under- stood on the ground that the city is not liable to pay compensation for an accident that ocours while the victim of such accident is engaged in what so [far as the city is concerned is termed jgovernmental duty, as such work as Mr. Marion was engaged in Wednes- day when he was killed is held to be Dby the corporation counsel of the city.
