Sixth districts held their primaries last
night. A good deal. of interest was
manifested especially in the Sixth.
where the excitement ran high and the
slate prepared by the party leaders
was broken to pieces. Several Repub-
licans were accused of voting, but It
appears to nave been done more in a
spirit of fun than anything else. and no
hard feelings were engendered. The
delegates selected were George B. To-
hey, William Kaskie, T. B. Griilln and
John D. Carr. who received thirty-
three votes each. against twenty-eight
< votes for the candidates slated by the
. '.‘powers that be.'.'. The district com-
mittee chosen was August Billenstein.

GROW"! 0? THE TELEPHONE.
Big Increase in Business of Soaihern
ilew England the Past Year.
The past year has been a busy sea-
son for the Southern New England
Telephone company. it has been .1
year of the most remarkable growth
and construction inlits history. No
state in the union is so thoroughly
equipped with telephone service as is
Connecticut. Out of the 168 towns in
the state all but thirteen are connect-
-ed with the Southern New England
hangs. ,
4 The past year has witnessed a large
increase in the wors"ot laying under-
ground conduits. At present in Con-
necticut 1,966 subscribers are served
by the underground system. The
”towns throughout the state containing
the underground system are these:
New Haven, Hartford. Bridgeport.
Waterbury, Meriden, Wailingford.
Middletown, New London, South Nor-
walk, Stamford, Danbury, New Briv
lain. Ridgefield, Norwich. Danielson.
Litchileid, Putnam. Rockviile, South~
ington, Torrington, ,Willimantic
Bradford, Milford.
The company Is placing about 150
new telephones each month or 1,8011
per year among subscribers One 01
the most popular systems now in
~ vogue in known as the register sys-
tem. it costs the subscriber 525 per
year and with it he is entitled to 380
local calls outward, inward calls to
him being free.
The telephone is so arranged that
on a call for signal a small key is
turned and the registered number 01
the call appears on a small indicator
so the subscriber can tell at a ginncc
how many more are due him.
The trunk service has been greatly
developed the past year. The new
trunks recently run or at present in
progress are as follows:
Three pairs between New Haven
and Bridgeport. one pair between
Hartford and thchdqeid one pair be-
tween Waterbur and New Milford.
two pairs between Litchficld and New
ton and Torrington. one air between
Watebury and Danbury.
The company has come into control
of the Tonington division recently.
This division was In its former stage
equipped wtih what the regular ex-
changes call bogus telephones. They
were of an antiquated pattern and the
service was purely local and far from
satisfactory. Finally when the mana-
ger of the company suddenly left town
to hunt gold in the Klondike, the Tar.
riagton exchange .‘In a greatly run-
down condition was bought by the
Southern New England. and after be«
ing thoroughly overhauled and equip-
ped with new instruments was formed
into an exchange of the Southern New
England company with about 15 per
cent. oi the subscribers of the defunct
company added to its list. Ridgedeld
had previously been absorbed by the
Southern New England and its service
improved and strengthened.

"KICKS IN Till SOUND.
ASah-ariaellestihstists Leek the.
Own
The following is from the Brooklyn
Eagle: Captain Frederick S. Tribbie,
a seafaring man, is soon to make some
experiments In Long island Sound with
a submarine boat which, It is expected.
will facilitate the work of his busi-
nose.
The so-called Lake submarine boat
has been constructed in Baltimore. not.
by a company there who are engaged
in building several similar craft. the
vessel to come here is 60 feet long and
15 feet beam. built entirely of steel. ex-
cept her decks dud general details or
woodwork.
The craft is an improvement in sev-
eral respects on the Holland boat con-
structed for war purposes. The design
of the craft Is mainly for work In ra'ls-
ing sunken vessels and to aid in va-
rious kinds of work under water. it Is
expected by the help of this boat to
greatly assist the work of divers and
render their labors much more exor-
dltious.
The Lake is lit by electricity
throughout. She runs alongside of a
sunken vessel and sinks to the bottom.
Here an inspection of the wreck or
aunkeu object can be fully made. it is
10 arranged that a submarine worker
‘an leave the craft without coming
down from the surface. There are ex-
its and entrances on the craft so in-
geniousiy contrived that divers may
pass out and In as freely as if above
water.
Captain Tribble is desirous of bring-
ing the craft to Long island Sound for
work, as he has heard that there are
many boats sunk in the Sound which
have not been recovered. in this he is
right for Captain Smith says there are
already three boats under water that
might be raised if the proper inspec-
tion could be made.
Captain Trlbble was formerly of the
Merritt Wrecking Company and has
nuch experience in raising sunken ves-
sels in the Spanish war. both at San-
tiago. Porto Rico and Havana.
The boats which it is proposed to ex-
periment on in raising by the aid of
the Lake are sunk eleven, seven and
“our fatheoms of water. respectively.
-\t this depth It has hardly been possi-
ble to work by the aid of the regular
diving apparatus, and it is expected
that the submarine boat will overcome
all obstacles in the way of an inspec-
tion and working down under the sea
at a great depth.
The advent of the new submarine
boat will be awaited with a great deal
of interest. Already in Baltimore am.
in the Chesapeake Bay the craft has
been successsfuilly operated and Cap-
tain Smith. who is a professional di-
ver on Long island Sound between New
York and New London, is anxious to
tebt the new boat.
