and looking elsewhere, returned to
my suburban home without my COM

might find his way back.
"In about two hours after my ARR.

The Insane School Boys Accused o.
Shamming.

MIFFLNrowN, Feb. 1S.-Ex-Senato
Wright returned to this town tonight
with Principal Sherwood, of the Nc
Allisterville Orphans School, having
spent some time in investigating the
symptoms of hallucination and insanity
shown by the boys.
After careful and strategic investi-
CATION the Ex-senator is convinced
that the boys are shamming, and Prin-
cipal Sherwood says that the Senator
claims to have trapped two of the
worst cases into confessing that the
whole thing was a scheme and that the
boys have been effecting and feigning
the various manifestations that have
puzzled the doctors.
Ex-senator Wright went IL the
school with the fixed idea that the boys
were fooling the doctors, and he deter
mined to throw them off their guard
and see what the result would be-
With this in view, he took one of
the boys, who still had all the nervous
symptoms, out for a walk. As they
walked along he engaged the boy in
| continuous conversation diverting his
mind as far as po ssible from his mala-
dy and trying to draw him out when
he least suspected it, To further this
end he pretended to slip and fell
against the boy, throwing him down in
the snow, and then expressed regrets
at the accident, the boy in his haste to
recover himself, acted in a most ration
al manner.
Then he carried on in a sportive
manher with the boy, but suddenly
turned on HIM and said: "Now, boy
tell me the truth. You're shamming,
are you notl Now don't liel'
The joy at first denied it, but after
a regular seige of accusations he finally
broke down and confessed he had been
shamming, and said the whole
thing was a scheme of the boys.
Elk Senator Wright then took the
Shines boy, aged -, who was ore of
the worst cases, and worked with him
He talked to the boy for several hours
before he could get him to acknowledge
that he was shammlug.
Two or three times the Ex-S nator
was about TO give il up, concluding
that Shines was really crazy, but finally
he, too, confessed that he was sham
ming.

UNDERGRODND WIRES.

The Beginning of the System of Under N ground Wires in New Haven for the \ Southern New England Company The Laying Of a Conduit on Court Street by MT. E. H. Ph1pps.
 MT. E. H. Phipps was engaged yesterday ' in experimenting the work of laying a con- duit for the Southern New England Tele- phone company on Court street between Orange and State. This is the beginning of a general system of underground telephone wires in New Haven and it is watched with much interest. The system is one which has
 about forty miles of similar conduit pipes in New York city in this way. He has also in-
 troducsd the system in Chicago.
 The wires here for the present will be placed underground only on Court street be- tween State and Orange streets At the lat { ter streets they will be conducted out through large manholes to the poles. The wires un- derground are carried by large oblong con- duit 1S1k by 36 inches in size. This conduit is filled with twentyfour ducts or pipes which are to contain the wires and the pipes are covered by concrete of cement and sand which in time becomes like the solid rock for hardness and durability. The pipes are E. H. Phipps' patent pipes. Many telephone wires will be strung through each conduit in cables. It is possible to have one of these conduits carry several thousand wires, vastly
 more than are strung upon poles on any of
 our streets. The msnholes at the Orange
 and State street corners are each four feet
 square. The conduit pipes are made in West
 Haven, where the other pipes made by the
 Messrs. Phfpps are also manufactured. MT.
 E. H. Phipps is the patentee of this system of underground conduits and has other patent
 underground systems. The wires for the Court street conduit will be drawn through the ducts under MT. Phipps' patent drawing in system of underground wires-a system which has been adopted in several large cities.

THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

A Joint Session Held With the Board
 of Solectaen-The Repairing of Tom.
 Iinson and Other Bridges Discussed.
 The Board of Public Works and the Board of Selectmen held joint session in the City Hall last evening. It was voted to continue the old arrangement concerning repairs to the Tomlinsop bridge.
 This arrangement provides that in cases of ordinary repairs the town agent should have full power to act. But in case of any unusu- al repairs, the matter should be considered before joint session of the two boards.
 A motion was passed that in the matter of any extraordinary repairs to all town and city bridges the board should confer with the road and bridge committee.
 A communication was read from Engineer John E. Powers of the Tonlinson bridge, concerning the rule for opening the draw for sharpies. This was referred to the bridge committee with power to act. A communi- cation was also read from MT. Powers con- cerning replanking part of Tom1iHson bridge It was referred to the bridge committee with the provision that the expense be divi- ded between town and city.
 Then came up changing the matter of the gearings of the Quinnipiac bridge so that the bridge instead of swinging only quarter of the way around as it does now, will swing all the way around in the same manner as the Tonnlinson bridge. It was voted that the boards go to the bridge Friday and make an examination.

 The Shelf. seniors had their class picture taken yesterday afternoon over at North Sheffield hall.
 Columbia seems rather discouraged over base ball and has decided not to put 8 team in the field this year.
 The Shelf. juniors who were conditioned in German will be examined Saturday. Dr. Sargent, of Harvard, will soon publish book which will be thorough treatise on athletic training and physical development. It will contain, also, the pictures of many athletic celebrities. The book undoubtedly will be of great value and interest. for the doctor is thoroughly conversant with the subject, and an able writer we'll. The junior crew either believes itself in. fallible or is affected with 8 spirit of don't care, for it is several days now since men enough have presented themselves at the boat house to fill boat.
 The freshman shell is a beauty and will soon be rigged for use.
 The freshman crew, now that they are at 8 training table and have new boat, feel to 6 man like boy with his first watch. The Durham boat club have offered Hos- mer, who is here for the week, the use of the boat house, as they did when he was here last fall. Quite number of people went down yesterday about noon to watch him taking spin about the harbor. He did not indulge in any of his favorite fancy tricks of leaning way over to one side in g seemingly hard attempt to capaize, etc. To one who has been in 8 shell but once, or 8 few times, they are thoroughly appreciated.
 There was larger crowd than usual at the Field yesterday, drawn by the fine weather.
