MAY SECURE BOAT TO
 REPLACE STEAMER CHELSEA.
Matter Was Discussed at Directors
 Meeting Held in New London.

A meeting of the directors of the New York Propeller company was held in New London with Arthur P Browning. president and general man aSer, and Gerald Mclaughlin present. The principal matter discussed at the meeting was the procuring of a boat to take the place of the. steamer Chel- sea, which was burned at her dock in Jersey; some time ago. The directors would give out nothing concerning the outcome of the meeting, but it is un- derstood that negotiations are under way fur the cI1artering of a steamship to ply between Norwich and New York until the Chelsea can be re paired.
 The indications point to the effect that this boat may be secured in about week and that the running sched- ule between New York and this city will be resumed.
 The merchants of Norwich and near by towns have been seriously affected by the loss of the Chelsea, as they have had to car all their freight be- tween. New York and this city With the transportation conditions in the way that they have been during the past winter this has caused the mer- chants much inconvenience.
