Current Was Lacking for About Guar ter of an Hour Thursday After noon.

noon.
 At the city electric plant shortly after 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon there was trouble in the main switch board and as a result there was inter ruption of the power for a period of 10 or 15 minutes. Previous to this there had been momentary breaks in the cir cults. As a result of the breakdown in the switchboard the current for the exciting coils in the generator and the power was off until the other unit was started up. The breakdown was due somewhat to the general shaking up that the station is getting in the course of the improvements that are going on there in a rapid and satis- factory manner
 The loss of power interfered with many lights about the city and with presswork. At the theater the effect was especially noticeable, the last moving picture on the bill having to be omitted. The Tenbrook trio was on the boards at the time and as the lights grew dim he observed "The sun Is going down." A moment later the house was in darkness.

MILK INSPECTOR sHAHAN
 SENDS OFF SAMPLES TODAY. Will Have Analysis of Water and Milk Made to Guard Against Spread of Typhoid-SuppIy of Milk IS Found Excellent in Most Cases.

Ten samples of water will be sent to the laboratory of State Chemist J. A. Newlands at Middletown today by City Milk Inspector D. J. Shahan as a precautionary measure, following the outbreak of the two cases of typhoid fever in this city and a third in Mont vile, which was reported on Thurs day. The infection of these cases may have come from the milk supply, but more likely from water containing the typhoid germs, and it Is to guard against a further spread of the fever that Dr. Shahan IS beginning his in vestigation.
 Should Get Report Tuesday. On Thursday he collected samples of water in the vicinity of Oxoboxo lake, number of them from the well of AL bert Champlin, where it is possible that Harold Pierson. who Is now in the Backus hospital, may have con- tracted the typhoid. Today Dr. Sha- han will collect more samples along the LeftingWell road. The analysis, chemical and bacteriologieal, should be started at the laboratory on Saturday and the findings should be reported back to the milk inspector by next Tuesday.
 After getting off the samples of suspicious water, Dr. Shahan will di- rect his attention to the milk question and of the 23 milkmen whose produce supplies the city the milk inspector plans to get samples from about 15. These he will collect out along the Leffingwell road and then work down into Montville By Sunday he will have enough milk collected so that he can send off the containers on Mon will fal ac long to make a bacteriologilcal exam nation of the milk and isolate specific germs as in the case of water The idea In looking up some of the sources of the milk supply is that while the milk itself is originally pure and sat isfactory, the element of clealiness is not always regarded. Thus, for ex- ample in washing the milk bottles or utensils in well water infected with typhoid bacilh. the pure milk might be indirectly infected
 Supply Has Been Satisfactory.
 So far in his work around Norwich this summer, Milk Inspector Shahan has found the supply in most cases remarkably satisfactory. Onl yin a few cases so far has he had to demand a radical change in their milk. Re- gently a report was returned from the state chemist of sample of milk that had a bacterial count of 100000 per cubic centimeter while, on the other end of the scale. one sample went down to the phenomenally low figure of 4,000. The majority of the cam ples show a count ranging about 20,- 900, and as milk Is considered safe un- til 1t reached a count of 100000 or mode, the condition in Norwich is generally satisfactory,
