COST of Electrical Power Plants,
The conditions OF electrical power

are now 8 well understood, that those

of the subject are we'll assured that
within few wears even the smallest
towns and viii 'ges will supply them
selves with elec ric light and power
plants. In such places plant of so
horse-power, or even less, will be
quite sufficient to furnish good
profit on the moderate investment of
capital required. The establishment of
q power centre, even in rural vii
lage cannot fail to attract a greater or
less number OF small though by no
means unprotitible industrial enter
prises, aud the mere fact that such
power can be had will in itself tend
to rapidly increase the demand. The

knowledge. Once the station has
been estabished it can be carried on
by the ordinary class of mechanic,
and workmen who are to be found in
every village. 1t is computed by statis-
ticians,tha the average price at which
power is sul in the United States.
spproximates $40 per horsepower

trical plant, Including tie station

be erected, at present prices, at an ex-
pense net much exceeding $3.50 per

operating such plant may be fairly
estimated at $4,000 per year. Expert

BURNING oF A CHURCH.
The First ConKregaslOnai Church of Springfield Destroyed by Rire-L0ss Covered by Insurance.

The First Congregational Church of
 Springfield Destroyed by Rire-LOss
 Covered by Insurance.
 SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 27.-The beautiful brown stone church of the First Congregsa tional society at Northampton was ruined by fire this afternoon. The building cost $65,- 900, exclusive of the church parlors, which were saved with the church tower and part of the walls and basement. The buildings were insured for $50, 000-$5, 900 each in the Hartford, Phoenix of Hartford, London As- sursnee, the Insurance company of North America, Atna, Home. Liverpool, London and Globe, Royal, Hanover and Continental companies.
 The fire caught in the roof where plumbers dropped 8 lighted lantern. It is singular fact that the old church burned in 1876 was set on fire by plumbers at work. The Flor ence fire department was called on to assist the Northampton companies and the flames, which broke out on the roof at l: 80 o'clock. . were not under control until nearly o'clock The church was designed by Peabody 6 Stearns of Boston and is considered one of the handsomest in the Connecticut valley The parish is the oldest but one in western Mas sachusetts, and had the famous Jonathan Ed wards as it's pastor for twenty three years. This is the fifty church edisoe built by the society. The corner stone was laid in July, 1877; the building was dedicated May 1878. Rev. Fl. w. Lathe is the pastor and he has most of the 400 Smith college pupils in his congregation.
 The church was out of debt and will re- build at once, holding services in the City hall for the present. An exciting incident of the fire to-day was the narrow escape of three firemen who were shut into the tower by the flames. They rang the bell vigorously and after much effort they were pulled out of the belfry nearly sufocated. One fireman was badly cut by falling slate. George W l Cable, the novelist, joined the fIemen in theil work and was one of the most active and of. | icient men on the scene.

 CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Sensationa1 testimony was given to-day in the trial of John Hronek, the anarchist, for conspiracy to murder Po- lice Inspector Bonfeld, ex-Stste Attorney Grinnell and Judge Cary, through whose eff forts Parsons, Spies and Engel were hanged year ago. The first witness, Frank Chlee- boun, was one of the men arrested with Hronek, but has turned State evidence. Chleeboun being unable to speak or under- stand the English language, gave his evil dence through an interpreter, and it was to effect that he met Hronek soon after the Haymarket riot, when the latter told witness he had great scheme to burn up lumber yard and that he had also missed chance to kill Inspector Bonfsld.
 Witness and Hronck also went together to find Judge Grinnells house so they could To- cate it easily at another time. This was 6 few days after President Cleveland's visit to this city, and Hronck told witness on their way back from Judge Grinnelps neighbor- hood that the President had had very Aar- row ercape from death while here, as he (Hronck) was about to throw dynamite bomb into the presidential carriage during the procession, but was dissuaded from doing so by his companions.
