stone into the channel and sank it there, blocking navigation. At this time she was in close range of rebel battery, which did it's best to disable her. but all to no purpose.
 When Gen. Nelson A. Miles was in command at Fortress Monroe and Jeff ferson Davis was prisoner there, General Miles used the Ella as his private vessel.
 During the winter of 1865 the Ella was operated on the St. Johns river, in Florida. She was then sold to Bos- ton parties and taken from there to Portland, Me, where she ran several seasons.
 In the year 1871 the late Palmer Smith, who was identified for many years with steam boating on the Thames, chartered the Ella and put her on the Norwich and Wach Hill route.
 The next season he organized the Norwich, New London and Watch Hill Steamboat company and purchased the boat, and the same company prac- tically operated her for the remainder of her days.
 Tn the year 1903 she blew out her steam chimney while off Mystic Island and was lowed in and laid up and sold, thus ending her active career.
 She was bought by party in Athens N. Y, and lowed there. She was tied up alongside a, wharf and during the winter season was cut down by an ice foe and sunk, being Hudson, N. Y, and broken up for the old metal she contained.
 Her pilot house has found its way to Kingston, N. r., and is still doing duty as a chicken coop, and even to this day bears the name Ella.
 There is also reminder of the old craft remaining in this vicinity. At Fishers Island the house that covered the main companionway and also flg- ured as a smoking room Is used as d place of abode by a washerwoman, and it is said still bears the traces of the rebel bullets.
 Her Successors.
 During the height of the Elias suc- cessfu1 career the steamer G. R. Kel- sey made her appearance on the river, and she was operated by an opposition company, who eventually were instru mental in bringing out the steamer Block Island. which has just closed its 2sth season here.
 Also about this time the steamer Favorite made trips to Fishers Island.
 The steamer Gypsy was also run two trips a day on the river from 1893 to 1903, inclusive. and during the season of 1904 the steamer Margaret was op- erated on the Norwich Watch Hill route. The seasons of 1908 and 1909 have seen the steamer Sightseer mak- ing two round trips each day on the river.
 Many Older Boats.
 There's plenty of material for an interesting story, continued M. Smith. especially about the older boats-The Tha1nes AnoeIina Sunbeam Water Witch, Water Lily, Tiger. Lily. Escort, w. w. Colt, Golden Gate, Panamac, Jenny Lind. Atlantic, Knickerboeker, New London, Shetuclet, Quinebaugi Trumbull, Charles Osgood, Decatur. General Jackson and many others of which I have not been told.
 One of our local historians says: In 1917 the first steamboat began running on the Thames, the Fulton, Captain Bunker: after the Fulton the H. E. Bedford. Captain Davison. Then the Fanny and so on.

NORWICH PEOPLE ELECTED
 ON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Workers on Charitable Institutions of
 State Organize.

Persons interested in the work of the charitable institutions of the state, at the invitation of the state board of charities, met in conference at the capitol at Hartford Tuesday. Govern or Weeks acted as temporary chair man, giving an address in the course of which he called attention to the fact that the last general assembly approved estimates amounting to $2,- 1Se,075 for the maintenance of the state criminals and unfortunates. In the public institutions of the state, he said, there were 2,600 unfortunates and law breakers, and 4,000 in the public and private insane asylums.
 permanent organization was ef- fected by the election of the follow ing officers:
 President. Senator Flavel S. Luther; vice presidents, Mayor Edward w. Hooker Hartford; Professor H. w. Farnam. New Haven; H. H. Bridge man, Litchfield; E. J. Garvan, Hart ford, and P. B. Sibley, Brooklyn.
 Treasurer. H. W. Clark. and secre- tary, c. P. Kellogg. Waterbury.
 The following with above officers, were appointed as an executive com mittee: T. B. Bradstreet. Thomaston; H. Kelsey. F. w Smith, D. I. Green and J. M Griswold, Hartford. H. H. Spooner. Kensington; L. s. Johnson New Britain: Rev. J. T. Neale, Terry vile; A. McMathewson, New Haven; Mrs. F. A. Mitchell, Norwich, and pr. G. l.. Porter Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Mitchell of the state board of charities was prevented by sickness from attenting.
 Dr. Pollock of the Norwich Satte hospital for the insane, said he was glad of the movement for the organ ization of the conference.
 Dr. Noble of the Connecticut hos pital for the insane said that some thing must be done in regard to the amount of money paid by the tax payers. He was glad the temper ance movement is taking root all over the state. The cultivation of temper ance will keep many out of the insti- tutions of the state. He referred to the importation of aliens who had come into the country in violation of the laws, though, perhaps, that was merely a drop in the bucket.
