MISSING COLD BARS.
Reason for Believing They Wore Stolen
 at New York.

Reaxon for Relieving They Wore Stolen
 at New York.
 Bremen, April 11.--In support of their belief that the gold bars reported miss ing from the specie room of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse in transit between New York and Cherbourg, were stolen at New York, the officials of the North German Lloyd Steamship company point out that the specie room on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is situated behind the baggage room, the latter containing the trunks of hundreds of passengers which are piled up against the door Of the specie room. The off, cials of the steamship are satisfied that the gold was abstracted between the afternoon when the barrels containing the 1000, 900 markes were placed in the strong room and the following morning when the passengers baggage was slowed away The officials are of the belief that the thief allowed himself to be locked up in the baggage room after the gold was deposited in the strong room and managed to take the booty ashore, during the confusion of arriving passengers and the slowing away of the baggage.

ABSORBED BY s. N. E. co,
THE 1NSONIA TELEPHONE CON-
 PANY TAKEN OYER.
Majority of the Stock Transferred Yes- terday- Belief That This Deal Will De- feat tho Project for a Rtval Line Through the Nnugaturk Vallcy-An-
 sonia an Important Connecting Link.

1 Anscnia, Conn, April 1.-The deal
 of the taking over of the Ansonia Tele- 1 phone company by the Southern New
 England Telephone company was con- summated to-day by the transfer of the majority of the stock to the Southern New England company. The balance of the stock will be transferred to-mor-
 row, and the old officers of the Ansonla company will resign and new board of directors will be elected who will under take the reorganization of the affairs,
 so far as such may be necessitated by the change It is understood, however,
 that Charles D. Warner will continue as general manager of the local line.
 President Morris F. Tyler of the
 Southern New England company to-
 night characterized the absorption as a
 Friendly sale" He said that it was
 the intention of the Southern New
 England company to carry out all the
 contracts of the other concern and so
 far as possible to continue the business dS pTGNlOuSly. we VIII our old subscribers in the Ansonia ter ritory," said MT. Tyler, and will serve as we'll the subscribers of the Anso- mia company, the new exchange being in effect a consolidation of the two, which have previously existed. Asked in regard to the rates, MT. Tyler stated that the Southern New England would not increase it's usual rates in any cases but would consider the change merely as an enlargement of field. He added that the transfer of the stock had been of the transaction, merely, hindering the exchange of the entire capital stock.
 In regard to the method of reorgani- Zation Mir. Tyler said that he was un- able to state at present what changes would be made in the matter of admin istrat t.or.
 The sale of the Ansonia Telephone company to the Southern New England company has excited considerable inter- est through the Naugatuck valley, as it is considered that the latter corpora tion in taking the step has effectively broken the back of the project for iiilC tIIOuSu tIt Ndllty.
 Up to the present time, such a line as a rival to the Southern New England has been considered as more than possibility for various small indepen- dent lines have secured local existence over the entire distance from Milford to Winsted and needed but the connecting links to become continuous line of no small proportions. Of these lines, that of the Ansonia Telephone company at once was the largest and most prosper ous and it is not thought that an at tempt to compete with the Southern New England company will be made without the cooperation of the local concern.
 Attorney F. w. Holden, of this city. through whom as trustee for the stock holders of the Ansonia company the ex- change was made tonight, stated that the local stockholders received for their holdings bonds of the Southern New England rated at 1925 on the basis of an estimated value of 175 for the stock of the Ansonia Telephone company.

OXFORD CAMBRIDGE REPLY
AGREES TO NEW FORK As PLACE
 OF MEETING.
Also That the Programme be the Same as fin 1890 Except That Three mile Rsa sa be Changed to q Tva-mtIe-Rejects Proposal for Eleven Events Instead of Nine-Pole Vault and High Hurdle Not in Vogue in England.

London, April 1.-The reply of Ox- ford and Cambridge to the challenge of Harvard and Yale for a series of track games this summer agrees that New York should be the place of meet ing and that the programme should be the same as in 1899, except that three
 mile run is changed into a mile run. Only those eligible to enter the intercollegiate sports of 1901 are to be eligible to take part in this contest. The English athletes have rejected the proposal to increase the programme from nine to eleven events on the ground that the pole vault and the 220- yards high hurdle are not in vogue in the Oxford and Cambridge sports, and that the putting of the weights, from which events Harvard and Yale sug gested that two be chosen to increase the programme, have only reluctantly been included in the Oxford and Cam bridge sports. It is also pointed out that an increased programme would mean a more numerous team and heav- fer expenses, and that 1t would be more satisfactory to have return meeting with exactly the same events as decid- ed at the Queens club in 1899.
 Regarding the date, the reply says the end of July is just possible, but very difficult, while July 15 is impossi- ble owing to the proximity to the end of the terms, the inter- university cricket match and the Henley regatta. A full team, therefore, could not pos sibly leave until after July 8. It is hoped, on this account and also be- cause of the extreme heat in New York during the month of July, that date at the end of September would be ac- ceptable to Harvard and Yale.
 c. N. Jackson treasurer of the Ok ford Athletic club, when interviewed re- garding the more recent cable dispatch- es saying that a September date is im- possible for Harvard and Yale, said to representative of the Associated Press: This constitutes the real diffi- culty, though I trust it is not fatal. Nothing further can be decided until the Oxford Cambridge committee meets again, which will occur as soon as the Harvard Yale letter arrives"

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
METLAST NIGHT IND CONSIDERED
 FEVER EPIDEMIC.

of Health Oficers in Cases of Typh old
 Gases Reported Up to Yesterday After
 noon Number 27s-Board to Urge Pas- snue of BiII for Tuberculosis Hospital. At a meeting of the state board of health last night held at the office of Dr. c. A. Lindsley, secretary of the board, the. principal business done related to the present epidemic. A resolution was passed instructing Dr. Lindsley and pr. T. H. Mckenzie as a committee to draw up circular in regard to the duties of health officers in cases of ,ty- phoid fever. on or near watersheds tri- butary to public water supplies, and to send copies of it to the different health officers in the state.
 This was done after considerable dis cusslon of the responsibility of the health officer of the town of Wood bridge, and of the physician who at- tended the cases which occurred above
 
 out that the first of these cases, which occurred in January, was not at first diagnosed as typhoid by the physician until the other two took the infection. Typhoid was suspected, however, hence the directions given to the farmer to bury the discharges, although no care was taken to dislnfect them.
 From the farmers account of it to Dr. Lindsley it appears that the recep- tacle containing the infectious material, which was carried out several times a day, was washed out by the farmer with the water of the stream. When asked if he washed 1t out directly in the stream he said that he brought the water up from the stream in a pail and after the washing process he was &C., customed to throw the contents on the surface of the ground
 A fact bearing upon the origin of the Woodbridge cases was stated in the as follows: The first victim was accustomed to drinking from a well on the premises, whose surface is on level with the ground.
