THAMES RIVER AGAIN
 OPENED TO NAVIGATION
Steamer Chelsea Breaks Through and Resumes Her Regular Schedule Be- tween Norwich and New York.

Since the early part of January un- til Sunday, the Thames river has been closed to nay igs ticn above Allyns Point, and during portion of the time 1t was impossible to get as Tar as that.
 Sunday morning the steamer Chel- sea of the Norwich and New York Propeller company started up the rlv- CT and reached here about nine o'clock. For a half-mile above Allyns Point it was necessary to break through heavy ice, but with that exception rather easy time was had. By making the trip the river was opened and tug was waiting to get through and later followed the steamer to this city, bringing barge of coal to the Uncas Paper company min and taking down barge which had been marooned there for a number of weeks.
 While the river has been closed, the Chelsea has been running from New York to Montville most of the time though there has been general overnauling and painting so that the boat is in first class condition. The rooms on the boat have all been done over She left Sunday evening on time and it is not expected that her sched- ule will be interrupted again by ice. l Local ASent F. V, Knouse had good sized cargo of freight for the boat to take down Sunday night and the re- sumption of her trips will mean plenty of business from now on.
 Captain Pettigrew, formerly of Scotts, has succeeded Nels Lansland as pilot on the Chelsea.

RT. REV. BISHOP BREWSTER
 CONFIRMED LOCAL GLASSES.
Preached ForcefuI Sermon at Union
 Service on Faith.

Upon his visit here Saturday and Sunday for confirmation before Eas- ter, Rt Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster, bishop of this diocese, confirmed class es in the five Episcopal church of Norwich. At Grace church, Yantic, he confirmed a class of fe on Saaturday; at Christ church a class of eight, at the Sunday morning service; at St. Andrews church Greeneville, a class of six, at service Sunday afternoon, and a class of thirteen at Trinity church Sunday evening at union ser vicce for the churches.
 At the service at Trinity church there was a congregation which filled the main part of the church, and Bish- op Brewster delivered a sermon upon Faith that was given with character istice forcefulness and practical appli- cation to the Lenten season. Arch deacon J Eldred Brown was assisted in the service of evening prayer by Rev. T. E. Calvert of Christ church and Rev. Johns Bohanan of St. An drew's church.
 Bishop Brewster spoke from the text, All things are possible to him that be- lieveth, and told his hearers that faith stood over against the fatalism that blamed upon heredity or environment the outcome of the voyage of life. True faith is the spirit asserting itself claiming it's birthright and it's free dom. It puts itself in line with the push that means always some better thing ahead. It enables man to grap pie bravely with what threatens to thwart his upward progress and makes these very things the rungs in the lad der upwards. If you reach out to God nd hac afa llFTf f0 you and buoys you up and sustains you. The believing helps to make things come true. The believing helps to make the possible actual. Today in the deepest concerns of life, as we be- lieve so will it be. TYou may have been getting into the current of fatal ism or sin or bad habit that is forg- ing letters upon you. Lent is the time tG break these letters, and all things are possible to him that believeth Trust in God, then, enough at least to make venture, and you will find God working in you both to will and to do You may be a free man because you ought to be free; you can fight because you oughtt 0 fight, and you can win because Jesus in the agony of tenpta- ton has fought his fight and won that you might win, and He says to- night to that a, man who will believe All things are possible to him that be- lieveth.
 After the confirmation Bishop Brew ster spoke briefly to the class upon the significance of the rite, laying emphasis upon the fact that it was a confirma tion for life, and not for death alone and urging the maintenance of close relation with their Lord through the sacrament of Holy Communion.

CORONER FINDS BROTHER
 CRINMINALLY NEGLIGENT,
Autopsy Showed That the Bullet Had Gone Through the Heart-Law Does Not Excuse Such a Homicide.

Following an investigation which he made In the shooting to death of Her bert Miner by his younger brother, Dwight, at Pendleton Hill, in North StonIngton, last Friday, Coroner Franklin H. Brown of this city has de- clded that Dwight caused the death Of his brother through criminal negli- gence in the use of the revolver. Te death of Herbert he finds, was due to the criminal act of the brother, who was held without bail for a hearing be- fore Justice Chapman at ? o'clock at MilloWn.
 The charge will probably be man. slaughter, and Attorney IT. W. Rath- bun will probably represent the state The law does not excuse a case of homicide, says the coroner, and it WIS an unjustiiable act.
 Though Dwight claimed that it was case of accident, yet the accused knew that the revolver had been unIoaded and reloaded again There had been no trouble between the brothers, as far as could be learned. They were fooIing when the sad accident took place. It is thought Dwight is not as competent as he might be, and he hardly realizes what he has done.
 An autopsy was performed on the body which showed that the bullet had passed through the heart and lung, causing almost instant death. Dr. Har- rington performed the autopsy, the cor oner being present.
