A page from the history of time when even sheep stealing in Eng land was punishable by death can be seen in the old British convict ship Success the oldest vessel afloat, which is now on exhibition in Hartford another 10 days or two weeks, and will be open to the pub lie daily, including Sunday. from 10 o'clock in the morning until II at night.
 Graphically illustrating by actual exhibits the tale of mans inhu- manity to man the old ship, now in her 139th year, is fulfilling the last years of her life by educating mankind to greater gentleness to mankind.
 The famous vessel built in In- dia in 1790, has been filled with hundreds of electric lights which enable visitors to see and examine her many exhibits by night as well as by day. A corps of expert guides and lecturers accompany the visi- tors through the three decks of the ship, explaining the many points of interest.
 A trip through the old yellow hulk, which crossed the broad At- lantic under her own sail in. s6 days. turns back the clock to the middle ages. Here, in their original state. are preserved the cells and dungeons in which men and women were confined. the instruments used to torture them. and the official

records of their crimes, trials and
 sufferings.
 On the officers quarters beneath l the high quarter deck, visitors will
 find old handcuffs. locks and keys
 and scores of priceless original
 documents relative to the trial. de- portation and confinement of the prisoners. Etchings and rare wood
 cuts showing the treatment of prisoners and ancient muskets and
 weapons of assault are also shown. On the main deck, immediately
 outside of the officers quarters.
 visitors are shown the original leg
 irons used aboard the convict ship
 when she was engaged in trans-
 porting men. women and children from England and Ireland to Aus tralia for terms of exile which
 were never less than seven years and often ranged 10 the term of
 their natural lives. These leg irons are heavy, ranging from seven to
 56 pounds. The original pumps of the ship are still in use and can also be seen.
 Another feature of the convict ship is the giant ringed stone to which score or more convicts from the Success were chained while quarrying stone in Australia. The shot marked. massive armour. worn by Ned Kelly, the Australian proto- |type of America's Jesse James. is also being displayed. Old and orig inal fiogging frames and triangle to

It was in 1902 that the Success was taken from the East Indian service (xhe had been carrying spices to Europe) and made the flagship of the British penal fleet.

Thompsonville. June 6 R-Presi- dent Walter P. Schwabe of the Northern Connecticut Power com pany announced today that negot;a- iions for the transfer of the entira common stock of his concern to the Connecticut Electric Service Go. of Hartford, of which J. Henry Roraback is president, have been completed.
 He refused to make public details Of the transaction, saying the trans fer of ownership of the stock would probably take place early in the summer. The Northern Connecticut Power company supplies gas, cleo fricity and water service to a half Hartford It has a federal power permit for the hydro electric devel- opment of the Connecticut river al Enfield, the permit allowing maxi mum development of 50.000 horse- power. The gross revenue last year exceeded s7o0,000, while the net in come, after deducting operating ex- .penses, taxes and depreciation, was more than SS00,0oo.
 The Northern company is the re- suit of the merger of several small utilities in April, 1926, when the ownership of the consolidated con- cerns was acquired by the J. G. White corporation of New York. With the consummatIon of the sale to the Connecticut Electric Service company announced, the New York syndicate will retire rom the local concern.
 The RorabacE concern is con- trolled by the United Gas Improve ,ment company of Philadelphia, which supplies more than so Con- necticut municipalities with gas and electricity, serving an estimated pop alation of 65o,o0o.
 Hartford, June 6 R+An agree ment for the purchase of the North ern Connecticut Power company has been drawn up and is in the process of being signed. Charles L. Campbell, secretary and treasurer Of the Connecticut Electric Service company and of the Connecticut Light & Power company said today Mr. Campbell declared the an- nouncement of Mir. Schwabe was premature. since negotiations have not yet been completed and will not Ike finished before next month.
 Nevertheless, he added. his com pany has agreed to buy all the com mon stock of the Northern Electric Power company. this agreement having just been made. This agree nient to purchase, MT. Campbell ex- tplained, is conditional. based on an investigation of the Windsor Locks corporation, but he expressed no doubt that the necessary papers binding the sale will be signed with in a week, the final papers to be .signed some time in July. Mir. Campbell said it was too early to discuss what the new owner will do with its acquisition since the pur- chasers have not yet decided this HAtter themselves.
 ,Mr. Campbell was unable at this 4ene to reveal the price per share v be paid for the common stock.
