Steps Against Danger of Receiving nane Paralysis Infec tion From Surrounding Towns Will be Discussed This Morning-Case at Backus Hospital Confirms Dr. How lands Early Diagnosis-No More Children Reported.

danger the meeting this morning is to make provisions.
 In Norwich and in the towns around here there were no new developments Brewer found some paralysis in the child at the hospital, but he said the attack was o light one.
 In Noank the year old son of MT. and Mrs. Louis Antonio of Main street was taken ill Wednesday and late in the afternoon the disease was diag- nosed as infantile paralysis. Dr. w. Mt Hill was the attending physician and immediately notified the health officer of the town, Dr. A. M. PI1I'dy, of Mystic, who quarantined the house. It is not known where the child took the disease, as it has not been out of town, nor has anyone from infected districts visited there. The quaran- tine is not observed in the least. We'd nesday morning the man of the family took the oldest child, a girl about 4, to call on some Italians in another part of the town. The remaining child is a baby and is kept out on the porch of the home much of the time. The conditions are said not to be sanitary and the neighbors in that section are said to be peTyurbed.
 Thursday the child was taken to Memorial hospital, New London, nak- ing seven cases there.
 Four children from New York were compelled to return Thursday morning from New London on account of the exclusion order. All were passengers on the Owl train arriving at 3.30 in the morning. Three of the children were with their parents and the fourth was a girl who claimed to be 16 years old but who, the health authorities were convinced, was not more than fl.
 There was little change in the sit- uatfon in New London Thursday. All the patients at the contagion ward of Memorial hospital were reported to be about normal, none having shown any alarming synptons since Wednesday.
 Thursday Dr. A. M. Ptrdy of Mys- tic, health officer for the town of Gro ton, who had not hitherto joined the other officials of the county in the embargo on children entering this sec ton. affixed his signature to the order.

Was Native of Thompson.

The Connecticut Historical society has just received gifts of considerable interest which concern life in the union lines during the Civil war. Henry Harrison Brown of San Francisco, ed itor and publisher of the Now Afaga- zine, has contributed diaries that he kept during the war and a quantity of letters which were written home from the front. Some of these were dated Tn the Trenches.'
 Mir. Brown enlisted Aug. 8, 1862, freu Thompson and was promoted to be ser geant Dec l, 1868, in Company D. 18th regiment.

Six year old Hi1da Simon, the little country girl from the Scott Hill d1s- u-ict in Colchester, who has been at the BaclIus hospital for two days, showed signs Thursday that convinced the attending physicians she had in- fantile paralysis and confirmed the diagnosis that was made by Dr. Ed ward J. Rowland of Colchester before the child was sent to the hospital for observation. For the carly report of the case by Dr. Rowland the Norwich health authorities felt Thursday that there was ground for feeling of in- debtedness and the knowledge that there is danger of infection from children in Colchester will lead prob ably to the exclusion of children from that locality from Norwich.
 To that end, pr. E. J. Brophy said Thursday night, there is called Q meet ing in the selectnen's office at 10.30 this morning, at which the mayor, the selectnen and Health Officers Thomp~ son of the town and Brophy of the city will be present to discuss the sit- uation and take action. The time has come when it is felt that the city of ffC1alS have done their part in the pre- ventfVe work against the child para1- ysis, and now the town will be asked to take a larger share in cooperation. And the direction of further measures in keeping away possible infection will be toward the surrounding towns and particularly Colchester. While the entrance of children from New York and. other places where paralysis is epidemic has been effeCtually barred on every other side, Health Officer Brophy finds that children are daily arriving in Colchester from the in fected districts and that there is some tendency for the children to come down to this city on visits, mingle with home children in stores or on the trolley cars, and so spread infantile paralysis. Dr. Brophy said that Col chester is the only town in this part of the state that has refused to bar out New York children under 16. Children reach that place by way of Hartford of Middletown, and there IS just as much danger of getting infan- tile paralysis from Colchester as from New York city. And to offset this
