Frank Civelli OF IL Vine street ar
rived in the city last night from New
York, where he landed Saturday from
the Italian line steamship, Verona, after
passing five months at his former home
near Milan, Italy. Mr.. Civelli reports
an unusually narrowing passage. He
shipped from Genoa in the early days
of January, expecting to reach New York
in Ii days, the time usually consumed in
making the voyage. For four days the
gale that later whipped shipping all
along the Atlantic seaboard followed the
Verona, during which time the ship was
unable to make any progress. There
were many passengers aboard and among
them there dwelt the fear that help
would have to be secured BY wireless
call. The ship steamed into New York |
harbor Saturday, after having been at |
sea Is days. Her decks were crusted |
with ice.
School boys have renewed the trouble |
some practice of cutting the ropes which |
are used to raise and lower the arc lights |
on the Consolidated Lighting company's /
system. Two years ago the practice |
was nipped in the bud, but reports from
the north end indicate that the young
sters have repeated the wanton acts in
several instances. ,urday the rope at
tnrbpd IN an arf4 ~ fha corner pf
BeckIey and Thin reefs was severed, |
evidently with iaekknife. The lamp i
was lowered to within eight feet Of the
ground. The same process was repeated |
at the entrance to Shurtieff place. Off |
Gals OF the lighting company were noti-
fed in time to repair the damage before
nightfall. An effort Is being made to
identify the young mischief makers and /
severe punishment will be meted out to
them ii they are caught. Cutting the
ropes involves the danger of breaking
the arcs as well as that of teams col
liding with the suspended lamps in the
night.
