Holbrook of ! [ %) L For about 15 minutes Sunday night and for abeut double that time on Sat- urday evening, Norwich slipped back into candle light days ugain through the collapse of the city electric light plant in furnishing the electric ocur- rent. On each evening, the period of total absence of electric fluld and con- seuent darkness over the entire city was succeeded by a period of semi- supply of electricity 6o that the com- mercial business was taken care of, but the city street lights had to walt for a longer time before they wero doing business again, An extremely low tide in the She- tucket river, said Superintendent Ste Khen J. Kehoe, combined with the olding up of water because the mills upstream were not running, was the cause both evenings. This shortage of water, he sald, completely crippled the operation of the 750 Kilowat tur- bine unit at the plant. The erght or ten foot well which is supplied by river water for the use of the turbine was pumped completely dry and the tur- bine had to be shut down in cons quence. It takes 3,600 gallons a min- ute when the turbine is running. Then the Uncas Power company, which ordinarily may be called on in emergencies here, was not available because of the repairs which have been underw there for the last eight | weeks. The same conditions of low | water have arisen before, he said, when the turbine was running, but were then able to hitch on to the line and avoid thing_could and Sudday they Uncas Power company all trouble. The me have been done Saturday if the Uncas Power company plant had been running and the cifizens would not have known anything about the trouble they were having. As far as a repetition of the troubke might be expected, Superintendent Ke- hoe said it was hardly to be expected except on turday or a Sunday under simil; circumstances through the m: holding up the water. Total Darkness at 6.25 Saturday. The first failure of t e local electric CITY BACK TO CANDLELIGHT DAYS Norwich Electric Light Plant Crippled For a Time Saturday and Sunday Evenings—Worst Tieup the Plant Has Known—Low Water in the River Put the 750 Kilowatt Turbine Out of Business Says the Superintendent. Iwhon the turbine could be run again. The v — i load of commercial lines and the city arc lights as well, Water Came Back. Shortly before 7 g'clock the current was gent over the commercial lines and the Main street stores were illumi- nated for the Saturday shoppers. This, however, did not gz, to the Broad: Way stores north ain street, nor to the Davis theatrs r the police sta- tion, which were out electric light untll about 7.55, by which time water conditions in the tiver were changed and the turbine was started again 50 as to glve the full supply. Other Towns Affected. _As the clty, since the repairs at the Unces power company dam were start- ed, has been supplylng the electricity for Manchester, Rockville and Stafford, those places also lost their electricity for Saturday night untll they could start up their own planti Telephones Helple: Citizens who tried to use the tele- phone line to find out what was the matter learned that that too was out of business. “We have lost our ringing Dower,” was the answer from central, “and can't call anybody.” They get their electric gurrent from the city plant, but have a small machine of their own for emergencies. This was started hour again, up and after about half an the telephones were working Trouble on Sunday. On Sunday the trouble deveioped a little earlier in the day, those who tried to use electric light’ finding that there was none at a little before & o'clock. During Sunday the small en- gine was kept running while the tur- bine was cleaned up, but in the lat- ter part of the afternoon the .turbine as started again to take care of the night load. Just before o'clock it had to be shut down for lack of water, bringing the small engine bac into use and the commercial lines were sup- plied before 5.15, but the street lights had to wait again till about 6 o'clock telephone line were affected for only a short time on Sunday. William F. Bogue, former superin- tendent of the city gas and electrical department, said Sunday night that he thought similar conditions regarding water had affected the plant before, but he could remember no such tieup | ad happened this time ano he was | surprised to learn that the small Bass | engine would not carry the whole load as it did it last year when they were | putting in the turbine and he thought it would vet if up in shape. Edwin W.

He remarked t was hardly single week when the Un- cas power plant was running but that the ty called on them for help. ‘When asked if the city meant to re- new the contract with the Uncas Power company which expires on the s | first of January, Mr. Higgins saja that | Joorom: died at the 3 ¥ 1t 1147 o'¢lock Saturday afternoor | they had stated they would not do so, | st Ol irds fone s but had offered the Uncas Power com. | jesult of injuries sustained when his offered the Uncas Power com-| team was struck by a trolley car on B D ™ e et bany | Lafayette street on October 11.

Stecrs, who dled i the state prison at Wethersfleld on Tues- day, was sentenced to & life term for murder in New Fondon on April 21, 1876. Frederick A. White was the vic- tim of the murder. White's body was found on Coit's wharf on_the morning of Thursday, July 29, 1875, and Steerc was sent to prison after trial in the superior court in this city. The body of the young man was tdentified by means of a memoran- dum book, which gave his address in Worcester. By a singular coincidence Police Lieutenant J. Clinton Shepatd passed Steere as he came from the scene of the murder. Steere did not attract the attention of the officer at that time, but afterwards said: “I had & presentment when he passed me that Lieutenant Shepard would be {he man to arrest me.” This foreboding came to pass only after considerable detective work had been done. Llieutenant Shepard, who died on March 13, 1912, had shown ability as a detective and was detail- ed to the case. He went to Worcester and asked for the sssistance of the po- lice of that city. Détestive Churchill, who afterwards gained faiie hunt er of criminals, was assigned (0 assist him, A horse car conductor, who knew both White and Steere, said with White rode on his car r ter the day before the murder. Steere was apprehended at his work in a shop and was asked to explain his whereabouts. He was well known to high police officials in Worcester, and their intercession for him assisted in making his story seem plausible. Steere was released Lieutenant Shepard was skeptical of Steere’s account of his movements on the day preceding and the day after; the murder. After the Worcester po- lice had dismissed the matter, Lieu- tenant Shepard obtained permission to search Steere's room, and there, se- creted in a clothes closet, found a knife with blood stained blade. Once previously Shepard had passed out of the closet, believing nothing to in- criminate Steere could be found. Steere was rearrested, and whi shown the knife, broke down and con- fessed. He was brought to New Lon- don. The crime was committed on the night of July 28, 1 the arrest made August 3, 1875, and on April 21, 1876 Steere was convicted and sentenced i the superior court in this city Steere’s story was 1o the effect th White and he had come to don from Worcester by from there to Philadelphia had been drinking on the train they reached New London sick, so they went to Coit's wharf to get out of the way.
