The mystery of the collision with the Cornfield iightship, which put that vessel out of commission for a time, has been solved by the report of Capt. H. H.

Captain Bib- ber did not know of the collision until he reached port and discovered that his vessel was slightly damaged for- ward. Then he reported the fact to the New'York steamboat authorities. They in due course of time reported it to United States Steamboat Inspectors Withey and Stewart at New London. The accident is considered by the au- thorities as entirely unavoidable, ONTARIO AT NEW YORK. Damaged Steamer Reached There on Monday Without Mishap.

Between 73 and 109 members of the party were 211 attendance en Tuesday evenihe at the toewn hall for the re- publiean eaueus to nominate the three tandidates for the tewn schoel beard under the new system of school con- solldatien, which gees inte effect after une elzction. he three names presented were all ted without oppesition and with the general feeling that in Principal H. A, Tirrell of the Norwich Free Acad- emy, Shepard B. Palmer and Herbert M. bereu, the neminees, a particularly strong trio ef candidates had been chosen, Bdwin L. Burnap, chatrman of the town committee, called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock and spoke briefly of the purpose of the meeting, after which he cafied for nominations for chajrman, for which John H. Barnes was nominated and elected. Chalrman Barnes Speaks. Mr. Barnes was greeted with ap- plause as he took the chalr. On a tab- let when the Colisenm at Rome was excavated, he told his hearers, were | discovered the letters N. §. T-N.which being translated meant “No speech | tonight” and that would be his motto for the evening. But he wanted to eall attention to some matters of great impertunee. In the minds of some peo- Iple it is a question whether we shall be able to assimilate the many for- vigners being dumped upen these shores, but the public schoel system wi he the ' melting pot he declared, to turn these inte Amer- fean citizens, \ and as leng as it is| | handled by the proper men it will take | | care of the assimilation of these for- | eign hordes. Over 90 towns have tak- en advantage of the scheol consolida- tion laws, and eur beard of selectmen have chosen te make the town scheol | eommittee te censist of six members. Aecording to the statutes there are at least 29 different matters which can come up before the board. Their dutles are vast in number and it is of ghe utmsest impertanee te select men of experience and those who intend to do their duty, since a nemination Was equivalent to an election. After Charles 8. Holbrook had been neminated and elected clerk, he head the call for the meetimg and Frederick W. Cary came te the front te make the first nemination. $400,000 in Scheel Buildings. This was the first ecaueus, he sald, since the tewn voted for scheol con- solidation, and the task before the men to be placed upen this beard will be much greater than if the schools were already running under consolida- tion. It wiil be thelr work to combine fifteen heterongeneous districts. Un- der their care will be scheol bullding property worth $400,000, They will succeed about 77 different officials. About $100,000 was spent in the town for \chools in the past year, that amount having grown by $30,000 to $40,000 since twelve years ago. Under consolidation it is hoped that economy will be effected, but we want good schools, and the man fitted to be on this board at thiy important time should be possessed of certain qualifi- cations, which Mr. Cary proceeded to outline. > . Qualifications Needed. He should first of all be an expert LAUNCH THAMES RIVER BOATS THIS- WEEK Yantic and Shetucket Will Take the Water at Noank—Largest of Their Type Ever -Built in the State. The Yantic and the Shetucket, the twin-serew, double-decked motor- boats of the Thames Navigation Co., which will ply between Norwich and New London the coming summer, are practically completed at the yards of Robert Palmer at Noank, and will be launched soon, probably the latter part of this weekfl The work now go- ing on is finishing and trimming, The boats will be towed to Mystic, where the Lathrop company will install the motors of 100 horse-power. The two screws are operated Independent of each other. The motors are already completed and ready to install at once. They are, the internal combustion type of gas motor and are far superior to the old-style steam engine.. The power plant will he entirely out of sight and the new motors do away with the smoke, dirt and other disagreeable fea- tures of the steam engin The boats are the fargest allowed under the motorboat laws, being 65 feet in length, of 25-foot beam and 5- foot depth of hold. The capacity is about 350 passengers, They are th largest of the type ever built in th state. The boats will be put into commis- sion for the first time on boat race day, June 21, when they will take crowds to the Yale-Harvard race. On the next day the regular schedule will go into effect. The boats will leave New London and Norwich, at 9 and 11 2. m. and 1 8 and 5 p. m. Owing to the fact that stormy weather, fogs, | etc, would interfere with the mainie- nance of the regular schedule, it has been decided inadvisable to run out- side New' London. Between the two | cities there will probably be but one stop, aithough if buginess warrants it there will be others. It is planned to glve a good, reliable service between Norwich and New London and at a price which will draw 'a big patron- age. The boats are trim and neat in ap- pearance and are adapted to just this sort of service. They- are built with the jdea in mind of giving the public a service of safety, reliability, conven- fence and pleasure. The Thames Navigation company, of which Avery' C. Smith of this city and James C. Warr are soel owners, operates in Florida a line of five hoaty | under the name of the Biscayne Nav- | igation company.

WILL VISIT NORWICH BEFORE RETURNING TO MALTA. Prominent Italian Now Taking a Long Fast in Boston Will Be Guest of C. C. Haskell. In a short time C. C. Haskell is ex- pecting a visit from Agostino Levan- zin of Sliema, Malta, who is now in this country fasting for science. He greatly improved his health by such treatment and is an enthusiast on the subject. Mr. Haskell received the fol- lowing letter from Mr. Levanzin last December, dated Sliema, Malta: Dear Sir: I have read your book, Perfect Health, and Dr. Dewey's books With great interest and benefit. I have recently done a fast of 40 days and my wife one of 33 days, with marked suc- coss, as 1. have cured a long standing neurasthenia and my wife dyspepsia, constipation and {nsomnfa. I have now started on my Review and other pa- pers a smart propaganda in favor of this marvelous cure, and intend short- ly to publish a book in Italfan on the subject. Bo 1 wish to know if you have some other cures effected by menns of fasting and if you can afford to send me some yaluable information | for my work ani prepagranda pur- poses, Your photo for publicatien will lso oblige, With best wishes and epects, Yours truly, AGOSTINO LEVANZIN, B.A.C, Editor Natala, Pres.

A remarkable experiment and one in which Agostino Levansin, a young Italian lawyer from the island of Mal- ta, is sacrificing his comfort and pos- sibly his life, is being made at the Carnegle Institute Nutritian Labora- tory on Vila street) Roxbury, Mass. Confined in the respiration calori- meter, the young man will endeavor to go without food of any sort for a peri- od of 60 days, while the scientists and students of the institutton study the effects on his system. He has already fasted for eight days. Agostino Levanzin was brought' to this country expressly for the experi- ment. In his own land his feats of fasting in the Interests of science gain- ed considerable mention among sc entists, and he was chosen at his own raquest for ‘the experiment now being made—one which has never been suc- cessfully accomplished, and one which is belleved to be impossible by many physicians.
