Evidence of What May Have Been a Serjous Crime. At a meeting of the New Britain board of charities, the following report was made: In hospital for the insane, Norwich, July 1, four, admitted one, deaths one. In hospital July 31, four. Evidence of what may have been a serious crime was brought to light Sunday evening when the lower por- tion of a human torso and the thighs were found on the shore of Mill- stone point.

Maynard Minor, medical examiner of the town of Waterford, ordered the find re- moved to the undertaker’s rooms of Robert H. Byles in New London, where it will be viewed by Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich this morning. The remains were in such a state of decomposition that it was almost im- possible to ‘determine whether it is the torso of a man or woman.

The great- est progress has been with' the admin- istration department, which is three stories in height in front and two sto- ries in the rear and is located in the central building between the two wards for advanced cases. A month ago the contractor had men working on the foundations ,and now the frame is up, a good part of the shingling of the roof and some shingling on the sides of the building has been done, and a decorative cupola has been placed in position. Just now the cupola is adorned by the branch of a tree nail- ed up there by a humorous employe. The brick fireplaces for the front sec- tion of the administration ‘building, on the first floor, which will contain of- fices and reception and examining rooms, have been put in and the ma- gons are just finishing up one of the concrete chimneys. There are about fifty men employed on the whole job, about twenty of whom are carpenters under the direc- tion of Foreman Phillips. There has been some delay owing to the failure of material to arrive in time, but ev- erything is now on the spot and the woedwork is going up rapidly.

From the aspect of water supply the sanftarium- has presented quite a job, as it will be necessary to lay approxi- imately 4,500 feet of pipe before all the water connections are made. Six inch pipe is used to connect with the city main in West Thames street, while the various branches aré of four inch pipe. The six inch pipe has been laid for some time, and the excavating and lay- ing of the rest of the pipe is well along, and is being completed rapidly. Into the central building and the wom en's shack the water has already been piped and the digging is now for the third building. About the grounds, too, a dozen hydrants are to be locat- ed for the purpose of fire protection, and also of supplyl ‘water, and these entail much excavating. Considerable rock has been struck about the place, so that blasting hae not been infre- quent. There will also pe a standpipe inside the building for hose connec- tions in case of fire. J. F. Tompkins of this city has the sub-contract for the water piping and plumbing. As yet there has been little oppor- tunity for the starting of the installing of the steam heating apparatus. A member of the state tuberculosis commission was in Norwich last week and inspected the work at the plant, and it appears that with the present rate of progress the whole job could pretty nearly be completed in two months. While it is understood that a number of applications have been re- ceived for positions on the staff of the new institution, it is stated that no eppointments have yet been made.

The total number of eggs laid dum- ing the fortieth week of the interna- tional egg laying contest at Storrs was 1,632. This is a slight increase over last week's production, due to the faet that many of the broody hens of the past have started laying again. There were two pens that tied for first place for the week, each laying twenty-eight eggs; one was & pen Of White Plymouth Rocks owned by W. J. Tilley of Packerville, and the other a pen of White Wyandottes owned by Beulah farms of Hamilton, Ont. The next highest score for the week was twenty-six eggs. Théne were four pens that laid twenty-six gg=s for the week, as follows: A. J. Clark, New Haven, barred Plymouth Rocks; Robert J, Walden, Middlebury, M. barred Plymouth Rocks; Cullencross farms, South Columbla, N. Y., single comh white Leghorns; L. O. Keeton, Brookland, D. C. single comb white Orpingtons. This pen of Orpingtons which lald twenty-six eggs for the week had but four hens laying; two hens laid seven eggs each and the other two lald six eggs each.

With shocking suddenness to his friends came the death of John Hol- sten in the Backus hospital Monday afternoon about three o'clock, after having been taken there on Sunday afternoon, suffering from malaria com- bined with a high fever. He was up and around as usual Saturday morn- ing, and in the afternoon consulted a local doctor for a slight -attack of ill- ness, During Saturday evening he became rapidly worse and the physi- cian who was summoned to his resi- dence at 22 Lafayette street, advised his removal to the hospital for treat- ment. He was taken there Sunday, but failed to improve. i Mr. Holsten was born June 22, 1868, the son in Boston on of Catherine Knowles and Frederick Holsten, and was of German descent. He came to live in Norwich nearly four vears ago and was until recently employed as a file cutter in the Chelsea File works.

An interesting change has taken place in the leading pens this week. Yost's Leghorns are still first in the contest, but Baron's Leghorns have dropped to fourth place from second place, which they have held so long. Beulah farm's white Wyandottes from Canada laid twenty-eight eggs this week, giving them a jump to second place, while the Leghorns of Man- wood poultry farm are now third. It has been a long time since the English Leghorns lost the last bird, leaving them four, but from that time until this week they have held second place. They would have held their place long- er if all four birds had been laying. But three birds have been laying the last few weeks. Of the first ten lead- ing pens there are nine single comb white Leghorns and one white Wyan- dotte, The following is a list of the firat ten pens as they stand to date, with the total number of eggs laid by each: F.
