UNDER POND MOUNT4IN,
A Tunnel to be Driven to Connect Farm River and Lake SaltonstalI-NearIy 1000 Feet In Length.

Tunnel to be Driven to Connect Farm
 River and Lake Saltonstall-NearIy ,OOO
 Feet In Length.
 For some time the needs for larger water supply in the Lake Saltonstall reservoir have been appreciated by the New Haven Water company and to meet this requirement the company now proposes to tunnel through Pond Moun- tain and to connect Farm River with Lake Saltonstall. This is an undertak- ing of considerable magnitude and will involve a large amount of labor and expense as the tunnel will be nearly 1000 feet in length, while canal nearly as long will necessarily be constructed from the river to the beginning of the tunnel. The land for the project will be secured as soon as possible and the surveys made.
 The work of viewing the property at Lake Saltonstall has not yet been com- pleted, and the committee, consisting of Charles s. Garfield of Bridgeport, ex- Senator Graham and Henry L. Lins- ley, will take another trip to that place tomorrow.

Yale Won Yesterdays Game Handi1y by a
 Score of 34-O-Much Bad Fumbling-
 Captain Thorne Did Not Play.
 Yale won easily yesterday in the football game with Dartmouth at Yale Field by a score of $40, although her fumbling was at times wretched and there was during none of the game the same snap evidenced which was sol marked in the recent game with the B. A. A. team. The ball was yesterday in Dartmouth territory practically all of the time and only once was it i'm Yales side. That time it was carried to the fifteen-yard line by an eighty yard run by Dartmouth. De Witt did some fine sprinting and "keeled" the runner on the fifteen-yard line, from which Yale quickly drove it back to, Dartmouth's twenty-yard line. Yale made twenty-two points in the first half. Captain Thorne and Bass did not play, but Louis Hinkey was on the field and played a good game. Chadwick tried for five goals, but only made one, Jer- rems made two goals.

PLANS
For the Winter Debates at the Young Mems
 Republican Club.


 Republican Club.
 The committee in charge of the lit erary exercises at the Young Mems Republican club has planned a series of meetings that will be interesting and in structive. It will begin with debate on Friday evening of this week on the question: Resolved, That the cities should be given greater representation in the lower house of the Connecticut legislature" Attorney Mathewson will lead for the, affirmative and MT. Thomas J. Lloyd for the negative.
 After the debate Attorney Tyner, the chairman of the committee, will present a plan for future meetings, and if ac- ceptable, the necessary committees will be appointed. The proposed plan is to organize a legislative body, into which any proposed law may be introduced, whether relating to city, state or na tional affair. A regular set of rules is to be adopted and the whole pro- ceedings will be in accordance with the conducting of a legislative body.
 It should be understood that in the debate no member binds himself to the views he expresses, unless by vote of the meeting it is decided to speak and vote upon the question upon it's merits.
 Such a series of meetings will give the members practice in debates, and also in parliamentary practice.
 A large attendance of the club mem bers is expected for Friday evening.

BONDS MAY BE WORTHLESS
PATROLATEN MAY BE REQUIRED TO
 FURNISH NEW BONDS.

Ordinance Requires Bonds to be Renewed
 When Promotions Occur and 1t is
 Thought This Has Not Been Complied
 with-What Superintendent Smith Says.
 A movement Is now on foot which will in all probability in the near future re- suit in a thorough and complete in- spection of all the bonds furnished by members of the police department to the city treasurer with a view to determin- tng just what the status of the bonds is and whether the requirements of the ordinance relating to the subject are carried out or not. It is believed that possibly through ignorance of the ordi- nance some of the members of the de- partment have not complied with the law in this matter and again 1t is believ- ed that in some cases the bondmen may have died since the bonds were given and in others that during the several changes of administration some of the bonds may have been mislaid or lost al- together.
 iIC Ol Oil lulS SuDJtCL ID NtIy explicit and requires that every mem- Der of the police force, appointed, re- appointed or promoted, shall, before he enters on the duties of such appoint ment, execute and deliver to the treas- urer of the city, a bond in the penal sum of $500, in form and with surety satisfactory to the mayor of the city, and conditioned for the faithful dis charge of all his duties as such off, cers.
 This ordinance has been rigidly lived up to in SO far as the furnishing of bonds on appointment to the force is concerned, and it has been the custom in the past to deliver such bonds to the mayor of the city. The ordinance has, however, been construed to mean, and in fact relates, that new bond must be given or the old one renewed every time member of the department Is promot- ed, and 1t is in reference to this par- ticular point that the requirements of the ordinance have not been strictly liv- ed up to. In fact it is openly said that the bonds of some of the members of
 the department are not worth the pa- per on which they are written, owing to the fact that when an officer has been promoted the bonds have not been re- newed.
 After the member of the department has reached grade c not other bond or renewal is required unless the pa- trolman should be fortunate enough to be promoted to sergeantcy or some other higher place on the force, when 1t would again be necessary for him to renew his bond or furnish another. In the event of it being found that any of the bondsmen of members of the department are dead or that their bonds have not been renewed they will be re- quired to furnish new bonds, as the bonds furnished by them at the time of their appointment are not binding on the bondsmen. The work of examining the bonds now in the possession of the
 mayor will probably be begun at once.

 Searchers were Joking yesterday for the bodies of Arthur Tymeson, Charles Wesson and Charles Hinckley, the party supposed to have been drowned last Sunday night near Double eBach. The boat in which Tymeson went out ducking Sunday has been found by E. J. Stiles of Johnson's Point, and in it were the oars and Tymeson's gun. Wesson and Hinckley disappeared only about 300 feet from where Tymeson is thought to have perished. There is al ways a rough sea at this point and it Is very rocky, so that the bodies may not rise. No clue was discovered by the searching parties yesterday. Hinckley's wife has returned from Washington. The searchers think that the bodies will rise in a day or two and be found along the shore.

Platt, took place yesterday afternoon at the resi- dence of her son, ex-Alderman Frank s, Platt, No. 1455 Chapel street There was large attendance of friends of the deceased and the family. The exercises, which were very impressive, were con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Twitchell, pastor of the deceased, who was one of the oldest members of Dwight Place church. Her membership dates back to the time, many years ago, when the congregation of that church worshipped on Park street and when it later worShipped in the old Howe street church. She was indeed mother in Israel and was be- loved old lady whose long life had been one of much usefulness and unaffected sincere piety, and whose children rise up and call her blessed and revere her memory Rev. Dr. Twitchell made beau- tiful remarks touching the Christian character and long life and church membership of the deceased. There were beautiful tributes of flowers from the family, including some elegent trib- utes from MT. F. s. Platt, one of which, striking among the rest and very love- ly, was a floral design composed of eightyfour roses, representing the age of the deceased The pallbearers were four nephews of the deceased. Messrs. Beecher & Bennett were the funeral di- rectors. The interment was in the fam fly plot in the Evergreen cemetery All of the five children of the deceased were present at the funeral, with the excep- tion of one son, Charles B. Platt. who resides in San Francisco.
