BOARD OF sKLEoTMEN.

The Question of the Storage of Full.
inmate In Westville - The Board
Asked to Cooperate With the Board
of Education On the Question of a
Site for the State Normal school.
The non-explosive qualities of illuminate
of mercury in crude state was the par.
ticularly interesting subject of research a,
the meeting of the board of selectmen last
evening. The question was brought out
in consequence of the recent protest by
the residents of Westville against the
storage in and carriage of the same through
that pretty little suburb of New Haven.
The illuminate is manufactured in Canada
by Lieutenant Howard, from whence 1t ie
transported in crude state, packed in
water, to this city which is made the head
quarters for shipping it to other cities.
Scientific treatises were read on the sub
ject by Attorney Ely, representing Lieu
tenant Howard and Professor Mixtsr of
the Sheffield Scientific school, to the effect
that illuminate in crude state was non-ex-
plosive. Nc action was taken on the mat
ter, but Attorney Ely will be notified of
the result of the boards action.
Burton Mansfield, one of the trustees of
the old town farm property, appeared be-
fore tho board in reference to q communi-
cation received by the board from the
board of education, asking the seleotmen
to cooperate with the board of education
in securing the land bounded by Elm
street, Norton street and Winthrop avenue
for nominal SUM for the purposes of
state normal school. Mr.. Mansfield said
that the portion of the city was being util-
lied for residence purposes and the lots
were being bought up with THAT end in
view. He also said that the board of
trustees would net sell the property to the
board of education any cheaper than to
private individuals. The question was
finally settled by referring it to the trus-
tees, who will confer with the board of
education this afternoon, prior to the
school district meeting this evening. The
communication was signed by d. n. Strong,
Ell Whitney, IT,, and s. Z. Avis.

DANGERS OF POLLUTED ICE.
DISTINGUISHED Statements by an Emil

No water that ia unfit to drink as water

Its GOODNESS may benumb the sense of
taste, 30 that no warning of its nature
comes to the consumer. Its intrinsic clear
ness and beauty may put him off his
guard, but all ice cut from sewage polluted
waters is dangerous and should by law be
kept from the domestic market.
One may even sometimes see citizens of
this metropolis keenly alive to the sdvan-
tages of cleanliness and insisting upon the
use of distilled water at their tables, yet
calmly plump into their glasses of pure
water the frozen sewage of the upper Hud-
son.
Innumerable analyses have shown that
water does not purge itself wholly in the
act of freezing, as was formerly believed,
from disease germs which may have come
into 1t with human waste. This has been
specifically and repeatedly shown to be
true for that most dreaded and fatal sew.
age germ, the bacillus of typhoid fever.
I have written thus at length of one
great source of polluted ice supply, be-
cause 1t is typical of many in this country
and the Indifference of the citizsns of New

Refter and Cheaner,

What more can be said in praise of any
thinga 1t may be truthfully said of the
Hygsia ice, for in many respects it is the
most desirable cooling agent obtsinable,
and in point of expense it compares favor
ably with natural ice, its lasting qualities
having the effect of removing the only OBJ
lection that can be urged-the merely NOM

The Senate.

The senate this afternoon quickly dis
posed of two matters affecting railroad in
terests. They were the bill directing the
finance committee to investigate the stock
tax question of the New York and New
Haven road, the New Haven and Derby
road and the New Haven and Northamp-
ton road, and the resolution enlarging the
power of the board of equalization. They
were comprehensive measures which would
reopen the question of taxes paid by the
railroad and it's branches. The finance
committee reported unfavorably upon both
matters, and they were promptly rejected.
The bill to create a state commission of
lunacy was rejected. The senate passed
the comprehensive bill amending the char
ter of the city of Meriden, bill requiring
next of kin to support INDECENT relatives,
resolution incorporating the Bridgeport
Scientific society and the resolution au
thorizing the city of Waterbury to take
