MUNICIPAL BAND CONCERT.
Wednesday Evenings Program Was Among the Best of the Summer.

Appearances of lightning and threatenings of rain seemed to have thinned the audience at the municipal band concert Wednesday evening, but those who were brave enough to ven ture forth, found, as they often do, that the stars came out and that Tubbs' band gave one Of it's very best programmes of the summer. The numbers were diversified enough to please all tastes and in particular to show how capitalIy under Director Swahn's leadership has mastered sev- strumentausts not only played most excellently last night, but they sang too and exhibited unfoI eseen capa- bilities that way. This was in The Hunting Scene, and they gave a man. ly chorus. so deep and so vigorous that we wished they could have given a sea chanty as an encore. However, the band was there 10 play, and they did so, and William T. Delaney was there to sing, and he did so, both re- ceiving applause that was well mer- tied,

MAY BUILD SUBMARINES
 IN NEW LONDON
Ship and Engine Company May Es- tebFjeh Yards Before End of the Year.

Submarine merchantmen, similar to the Deutschland and Bremen, to car Ty on regular commerce with Ger many and the blOCkaded ports Of the IeutOn1c alliance may be construct ed in New London before the year is out, at all events it is expected that the engines for such submarines will be built at the New London Ship and Engine Go. Although the Quincy yards Of the Electric Boat Co., Of Fall River now have all the facilities for assembling submarinVs and engines are shipped from here to Quincy it is possible that with the pOrtended importance of the under sea craft as merchantmen, and the probability Of continued warfare, that yards for their construction will be erected on the Thames where there is every facility for docking the finished craft and transferring cargOes.
 Plans have been drawn for the construction of such boats and the FL ectric Boat Go. believes that there is a wide and profitable field for them at the Ie-csent time. Gregory Davis on, vice president of the N. L. $. and E. Co, believes that the undersea merchantmen will not lose their value after war but can be easily converted into surface liners.
 Plans drawn for the vessels vary from 245 feet long to 335 feet long,.
 A maximum size. allowing 36 feet from the top of the keel to the top of the coming tower, which would require six fathoms of water, would be of approximately 5000 tons dis placement Because if built, they will be equipped with the Diesel engine. made at the New London ship and Engine Co.,, their economic value will be of a double nature. The engines are very economical as regards fuel consumption which at the same time, leaves room for @ larger cargo. A thousand horsepower engine would re- Guire about 65 gallons of crude oil an hour, whereas a steamer burning coal would require at least 2,00O pounds of coal to develop the same power,

The girl came from New Jersey and she met German OF the train, coming here and she said she suspected nothing when he asked her to take a trolley ride to Norwich with her. But when the last car had gone and he tried to get her to take supper with him in a room in a hotel, she refused. and retreated to the street, where Officer John Carroll found them in an altercation. At po- lice station Sergeant Matthews, be- fore he had heard the full story, ad- vised the man to take the girl back to Willimantic by jitney, but Cor man wouldn't spend that much money.
 Wednesday morning he said he wished he had. The young woman was all broken up over the affair and she promised to be very, very careful all the rest of her life.

These senatorial districts composed of more than one town will elect their district delegates at sena- tOriai conventions Tuesday of next week
 TO get the nomination the success ful candidate must secure at least 294 votes Senator Frank F. Healy of Windsor Locks, says 9 New Haven re- port, if the canvass of the Healy managers is even approximately cor rect, HeaIy's claims by counties, ac- cOrding to his supporters, anent the first roll call, are about as follows, Hartford, 50; New Haven, 25; New London, 55; Fairfield 10; Litchfeld, 10; NiddIeseX, 15; Holland, 35; Wind ham, 40. Total 250 The Healy sup porters concede that they will not get many votes from Fairfield. Litchf1eld and AEid5lesex counties. They claim, however, that their estimate is con- servative and point to Windham county. which will have 52 votes, as being practically solid for Healy.
 If Healy does not get 250 votes on the first ballot-tt is generally admit ted he will have over 2O0-the rest of the 5S6 votes will be apportioned something like this: Blakeslee. 160; HOlcomb. 80: Wilson, 76: Webster, 20.
 In Hartford county, Healy is quite certain, it is said. Of getting half the 104 delegates.
 New Haven will have 9s votes and they will probably be about evenly di- vided between Healy and BIakeslee.
