Downey, news- paper man, who has been undergoing treatment at the Waterbury hospital for several weeks for anemia. is 238 largest s6 far this month. r the month to date is 3.05 as {as Norwich homes sat in complete darkness for an. hour and a Lail om Friday evening except for such relief as was afforded by a few flickering gas lights, lamps and candles that were called into service on the streets and i the homes and places of business of the city. For the first forty minittes it was a total eclipse of the electric light ser- vice, both on street lights and lights and power in homes, stores and man- ufacturing industries, but for the rest o fthe ninety minutes there was elec- tricity enough to light the streets but not to furnish lights for the residences and business houses. The trouble started at a few minutes aftér 8 o'clock when the big 2000 kilo- watt turbine at the gity electric light rlant went on strike, cutting off the whole electric current and plunging the city ‘without warning into Stygian darkness. No help could be obtained from the Uncas Power company at Seotland dam as the high tension. line from there to the city plant was srounded. Superintendent Stephen J. Kehoe summoned everyone of his rien to the plant as soon as the trouble develo d they worked till late mto the night trying to find out what had made the turbine lay down on the job, and to get the full service into operotion again. The small 750 kilowatt engine was started up to fill in on the emergency, but it was able to_carry. oniy part of ‘ke load that is ca¥ed for when street ghts, electric power and the commer- cial_service is all rumninz. It began to shoot the current alonz at 8.40 and this was first utilized on a limited number of the street light circuits and on furnishing power in industries that are on war work. At 9.30, by which time the 2,000 ilowatt machine wag still out of com- mission, it was decided to give the neople in their homes enough light to sce to B0 to bed by, and the power was turned into the commercial ser- vice lines but cut off from Manufac- turing plants. This zave lights in the residences, stores and on the streets, but shut down the Marlin-Rockweil facto till 12.30, when it got its electric pows=r back. waited in momentary expectation that haireut in this way. At the Wauregan SEPTEMBER 1 0y which remained shut down In the center of the city while there were no lights in such of the stares as happened to be open, everybody re- sorted to the streets. where the clerks ight. Few tried to light up with candies though one barber was observed finishing up a house the night clerk had several can- dles standing on the counter and car- ried another in his hand with which e lighted up the key rack as he kept on gssigning and booking guests. Al the police station there were sev- eral gas jets which took care of the situation there in case prisoners had to be hooked. One of the few places in the eity that was not interrupted was The Bul- letin office where #he work went on as wsual as the company runs its own lightine and electrie power plant. ‘At the Davis theatre, Manager Al Craig had a well filled house. He told them what the matter was when the lights went out and with the alr of tew gas jets and a lamp or two shed| a little illumination on the scene. He entertained the audience by singing} the latest Harry Lauder songs and members of the vaudeville troupe told steries and the orchestra plaved. When the lights came on a: 9.30 the regular show was finished out. At the Auditorium theatre, where the niay was Mrs, Wigrs of the Cabbage Patch. the dim lights sheq by candles and a borrowed lamp or two fitted in- to the Kitchen scene on the stage all right. By the time the scene was ov the eloctric light service had been re- stored. At the Breed theatre rain checks were issued. The audience was kept in 00d humor and whistled some of the test popular hits .while Manager Zueke an quietly notified each aisie t owing to lack of electric power the performance would have to he abandoned. The audience left quietly in sections without disturbance. EPIDEMIC OF GRIP STRIKES THIS CITY The. epidemic of grip which has been valent in the eastern states and New England has struck cn toNor- pi wich, New London and the vicinity with' considerabie force’ and many cases of the grin have developed in s city. There is a question whether this is the disease known as Spanish Influenza or a malignant form of or- dinary grippe. An’ investization of the discase is being made both by the state authori- ties and the local health officer, Dr. JI. Brophy, and within a short time in structions regarding dealing with the disease will be announced. With the disease the fever is higher and al- though the disease is persistent if care is_taken it leaves the patient very suddenly. The advice of the health department is that when the first symptoms of the disease wppear, which are chills, by ache, headache and coughing, the patient sholld immediately go to hed and cail a physician and not try to Dattle the disease as it is liable to run nto pneumonia as is the case in sev- eral families :n the city. Ail patients hould be kept in an isolated room by mselves and no one should be ai- Towed to sleep in the same room. The patient should have his or her own eating and drinking utensils. The pa- structions regarding it within the nex: 45 hours and these instructions should be obeyed te the letter. NORWICH REGISTRATION TOTAL IS INCREASED The drafi hoard was kept busy tab- ulating the registration returns on I'riday and when compietel found that there were 4,062 who had registered in the' Norwich district. The increase was accounted for by the fact that Taftville registered more than she was credited with on Thursday night was Ledyard, and several out of town registration cards were received. There were 2348 native horn citizens, 516 naturalized citizens, 91 citizens by | father's naturalization ~hefore regis- trant’s majority, 312 declarant aliens, 96 non-declarant aliens.
