MILK INSPECTOR SHAHAN SENDS OFF SAMPLES TODAY. Will Have Analysis of Water and Milk Made to Guard Against Spread of Typhoid—Supply of Milk 1s Found Excellent in Most Cases, Ten samples of water will be sent to the laboratory of State Chemist J. A. Newlands at Middletown today by City Milk Inspector D. J. Shahan as a precautionary measure, following the outbreak of the two cases of typhoid fever in this city and a third in Mont- ville, which was reported on Thurs- day. The infection of these cases may have come from the milk supply, but more likely from water containing the typhold germs, and it 18 to guard against a further spread of the fever that Dr. Shahan is beginning his in- vestigation, Should Get Report Tuesday. On Thursd: he collected samples of water in the vicinity of Oxoboxo lake, a number of them from the well of Al- bert Champlin, where it is possible that Harold Pierson, who is now in the Backus hospital, may have con- tracted the typhoid. Today Dr. Sha- han will collect more samples along the Leffingwel! road. The analysis, chemical and teriological, should be started at the laboratory on Saturday and the findings should be reported back to the milk inspector by next Tuesday. After getting off the samples of suspicious water, Dr. Shahan will di- rect his attention to the milk question and of the 23 milkmen whose produce supplies the city the milk inspector plans to get samples from about 16. These he will collect out along the Leftingwell road and then work down into Montville, By Sunday he will have enough milk collected so that he can send off the containers on Mon- day .morning. It will not take as long to make a bacteriologilcal exam- ination of the milk and isolate specific germs as in the case of water. The idea In looking up some of the sources of the milk supply is that while the milk itself is originally pure and sat- isfactory, the element of clealiness is not always regarded. Thus, for ex- ample, in washing the milk bottles or utensils in well water Infected with typhoid bacilli, the pure milk might be indirectly infecte: Supply Has Been Satisfactory. So far in his work around Norwich this summer, Milk Inspector Shahan has found the supply in most cases remarkably satisfactory. Onl yin a few cases so far has he had to demand a radical change in their milk. Re- cently a report was returned from the state chemist of a sample of milk that had a bacterial count of 7,000,000 per cubic centimeter, while, on the other end of the ecale, one sample went down to the phenomenally low figure of 4,000. The majority of the cam- ples show a count ranging about 20, 000, ang as milk is considered safe un- til it reached a count of 100,000 or mode, the condition in Norwich is generally satisfaoctory, lce Cream Maker Warned. The matter of les eream is beyend the province of the milk inspeeter, but In one ease in Greeneville he found that peer wilk was being used for the fce cream and his erder resulted in betterment of the conditions County Brangers Meet at Monville ™ Midsummer Pomona Meeting Was Held With Montville Grange in Palmertown on Thursday—Lecturer W. O. Rogers of This City Arranged Interesting Programme, With Professors Hollister and Kirkpatrick of State Col- lege as Speakers. All parts of New London county were well represented at the regular midsummer meeting of Pomona grange, No. 6, held on Thursday with Montville grange, No. 178, at Palmer Memorial hall, in Palmertown. Mas- ter Otto L. Pultz of Lebanon presided at the business meeting in the morn- ing at 10.30 o'clock, at which there was an attendance of over one hun- dred. The feature of the session was the reception of ten new candldates for the fifth degree in full form. At noon the ladies of the entertaining grange served a palatable dinner as a pre- cursor to the excellent pregramme of the afternoon that had been arranged by Lecturer Woodbury O, Regers of this city, The epening number was a nicely rendered pilano solo by Miss Iva Bartlett of Montville grange and she was forced to give an encore. The afternoon meeting was open and there was a large attendance. Fruit Rais- ing in Cennecticut was the subject of the first paper, and in place of Pref. ;. Gulley of the Connecticut agri- who was unable to a ant, Professor Hol- lister, came down and delivered an instructive and interesting talk. Opportunity’ in Fruit Raising, The professor discussed the topic i a general manner and said that this vear's product of the ew England far in apples and peaches was 147, 000,¢ bushes and first quality fruit. —_— The soll is well adapted to the culture of fruit, the climate is favorable, and the markets are easily reached, and this is especially the case in Connec- ticut. He therefore urged the farmers to consider the desirability and the profit of planting and cultivating more fruit in the years to come. There was a valuable discussion of his paper and many questions as to details were asked the expert. Modern Methods The subject of Poultry Raising was weil handled by Prof. William .| Kirkpatrick of the state college. It was the first oocasion on which he had addressed a Connecticut grange since coming north from Virginia after his appointment to the professorship of poultry husbandry at Storrs and he made an excellent impression. Tak- ing up the question of housing, Profes- sor Kirkpatrick advocated having from 100 to 125-fowl in a house as making for greatest economy. In the matter of breeding, selection of fowl for their igor and vitality is one of the prin- i(nml assets to be considered in mak- ing this department of profit. He took up the artificial methods of hatching and brooding, and showed the importance of following the mod- ern methods of feeding. His last words were directed to the man be- hind the gun in the poultry busi and sanitary conditions he believed { were a most important factor in suc- cess with poultry, QUARREL' OVER BOARD BILL LEADS TO SHOOTING New London Again ing Affair—Police Cellar. Scene of Shoot- Find Culprit in New London, Aug. 15.—After a quar- rel over a board bill amounting to $4.50 which John Burns, colored, alleged that Joseph Iomas, also colored, owed him, the latter shot Burns in the thigh with a revolver and fled Burns was taken to a local hosprital, where it was said that his condition is not se- rious. The police traced Lomas to a house at No. 9 Church street, where he wa hiding in a cellar. Lieutenant Jef- fers of the police, with only a flash- light as a light, entered the cellar alone, and there found Loman cow- ering behind a barrel. He had a 38- calibre revolver in his pocket, with two discharged chambers. Lomas made no resistance to arrest. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Good Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. In spite of warm weather there big crowds at both the afternoon and evening shows at the Auditorium on Thursday and the new programme for for the last half of the week made a pleasing lmpression. The big attraction of the vaudeville bill is the singing and eccentric danc- ing number presented by lda Lawrence an dthe Daly Brothers. Their act is bright an dentertaining and includes much that is novel. Rhodes and Adams present a first class comedy novelty in their “Pgying Circus.” Both are skilled acrobats and their tumbling and comedy make a hit with the crowds. Arthur Twrrelly pleases the audience with his harmonica medleys and does some clever paper tearing. An excellent variety of motion pic- ture films concludes the pleasing bill OBITUARY. Dr. Frank Coats Gallup. At 11 o'clock on Thursday evening the death of Dr. Frank Coats Gallup of 67 Clff street occurred at the Backug hospital after an iliness of three months. He was born in this city 53 years ago, the son of Benja- min Gallup and Amelia Coats and much of his life was passed in Nor- wich. He had been employed as a dentist by the King Dental company of this city. He was married and is survived by his wife of this city, but there are no children. There is one sister in Virginia.

The bride has been employed in a Broadway restaurant. Health of State for July. The monthly bulletin of the state board of health for July shows 1438 leaths in the state for the month. This was 227 more than in June and 194 less than in July last year and 121 less than the average number of deaths for the five years preceding.

The loss of power interfered many lights about the city and presswork. At the theater the effect was especial noticeable, the last moving picture on the bill having to be omitted.

The regiment, having been mus- tered into the United States serv organization complete, ready for and with great crowds coming ng into camp, formed in line. A delegation of ladies appeared in ca riages, with a fine stand of colors, a gift from the ladies of Norwich to the regiment. Governor Buckingham, behalf of the ladies, presented flags, and these were received by Col- onel who put them in charge of the color sergeants, and were formed on the left of Company C, Capt.
