Board of Examiners of clergymen for the archdiocese of Boston. He is a member of all the Catholic societies of Boston, holding many offices with those organizations. He has two nieces, both of whom are in the con- vent at Hartford.
 Bishop Nilan's name was not pub- licly mentioned as a possible successor to the late Bishop Tierney. Some sus- pect that his strength lay in the fact that he had the support of Archbishop O'Connen of Boston, but this is doubt ed. It is known that the present oi dinary of the diocese of Burlingtoi Vt. Bishop Rice. was strongly urged for the place, yet his name does not appear to have been favorably receiv '. ed
 The three candidates from this dio~ cese were Dr. Donovan of MiddIetown. Father Duggan of Hartford and Fa- ther John Murray. chancellor of the diocese. It is believed by many that Father Murray would have been nam ed were it not for his youth, for in point of ability it is generally conceded that he would make an ideal head for the diocese.
 None of the clergy in this diocese suspected that Father Milan was being considered, and his appointment is in- deed a surprise. ,\

 Commissioner Bogart of the Board or Health today purchased several hundred dollars worth of new supplies for the Isolation hospital. This insti- titution was recently the home of a small pox patient, and on his dis charge most of the contents of the structure were burned. This left the hospital inadequately equipped and now with six scarlet fever patients, one diphtheria patient and the pros pect of others, the place must undergo considerable refurnishing. Commission CT Bogart's purchase includes new bedding, and a quantity of dishes and kitchen utensils. The new equipment will place the Isolation hospital In a position to care for almost any emer- gency.

MOVING FREIGHT
 BY ELECTRICITY

New Haven, Feb. 16.-The experi- ments of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company with it's electric service applied to freight trains between New Rochelle, N. Y., and Stamford, while not complete, i'm dicates future success. The experi- ments have been made with an elec- tric engine weighing 150 tons, which is, however, twenty tons heavier than the standard 130 ton engine, which Is in use.
 It has been almost clearly demon strated that the new engine will draw trains of forty-five to sixty loaded freight cars at a satisfactory speed hour, and so far as practical opera tion of electric drawn freight trains results appear to be satisfactory Economically and commercially, how ever, the results cannot be worked out until the operation by electricity for both freight and passengers is upon larger scale than between Stamford and New York.

Ftiorintino through his counsel, Attorney Henry Greenstein, stated that Christiano was regarded among the Italian colony as a bad man. He was of large build and very muscular. Fforintino says that when Christiano rushed at him he pulled his revolver. The state claimed that Fiorintino was in no way attack ed by Christiano and was in no dan- ger The state, however, accepted the plea of assault with intent to kill as the action was not premeditated but happened on the impulse of the mo- ment.

WORkMEN MAKE
 CROCKERY FIND
WHERE JACOB HUBER IS BUILD ING NEW CANDY FACTORY AN GENT CROCKERY STORE BURNED TO GROUND.
PHILLIP WAGNER DIGS UP TONS OF BRICK WORTH $9 A THOU SAND-HUBER SAYS, HE'LL STRIKE POT OF GOLD YETI

Workmen engaged in excavating fer the cellar of candy factory, which Jacob Huber is to build at the rear of III Wall street, have encountered several tons of old fashioned crock cry, broken of course, about three feet below the surface of the ground
 The crockery is mainly the kind that people used to have on their tables fifty years ago and is covered with designs in green and blue show ing Willowy boughS and groups OT people engaged in pastoral pastines beneath them. Henry G. Lewis, tiie architect, secured an unbroken cup and saucer, which he will keep as souvenir.
 Lewis M. Hopkins, the veteran stove dealer who has been in busi- ness for over Q half century, says that the broken crockery marks the site of an old fashioned wooden building which stood at one time facing Water street where the built ing of T. Hawley & Co.,, hardware dealers now stands. Mr. Hopkins says that the building was moved to a point about 70 feet from Main and Wall streets at the rear of the build- ings fronting on those two streets. The crockery firm of Porter & Booth used the building as @ storage house. In 1859 it took fire and~ burned tu the ground. The fragile contents of the building dropped into the cellar, where they were covered up.
 Besides eXcavating about IT tons of broken china Phillip Wagner, who is digging the cellar, has dug up four or five tons of building brick, in good for about $9 thousand. MT. Huber, who recently bought the property, says that he has fears that he made mistake in not taking the excavat- ing job himself. It looks as though Wagner would find a pot of gold be- fore he got through with the job.
 MT. Huber, who owns a lease on saloon of Hogan & Hartman, in Wall street, near Main street, has given up the idea of occupying that store him. self, but he has decided to build a new plant on the property at the rear 'of III Wall street, next to the Mechanics & Farmers bank.
 About $25,000 will be spent. The new building will be a brick struc- ture with a steel frame and a base ment with high ceilings.
 The basement, will be equipped ss one of the most modern ice cream plahts in New England. The ground floor will be a candy shop and the top floor of the new structure, as well as the top floors of the old buildin will be used for storage.
 All of the shipping of the concern will be done from the rear of the building and the front part of the store in Wall street will be given solely to offices and the retail part of the business.
 For many years J. G. Gerbich, the barber, occupied the store with a barber shop and was located there for several years. For several years MT. Gerbich and MT. Huber both oc- cupied the apartments on the upper floors of the building, but that was over a quarter a century ago.

 Washington, Feb. 16.-The hopes aroused by the report that the missing tug Nina had been sighted off Mon tauk Point by the steamer Bayview, heading for Boston. were dashed to the ground today by a report received from Boston saying that the sighted vessel was not the Nina, but the naval tug Apache, which was searching for her.
 There is now little doubt that the Nina has gone down. If she were still afoat and making headway, it is probable that she would have been picked up by the searching vessels be- fore this.
