THE INCANDESCENTS.
MACHINERY ON THE WAY WHICH WILL
GIVE Us LIGHT AGAIN.
Recent Troubles at tho Electric-Light
PIant-PrOmiss Of Better Service
In the Future.

Mr.. William II. Cole, superintendent
Of the Virginia Electric-Light and Power
Company, yesterday received a telegram
from the Westinghouse Company, OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, saylngt that on Thursday
they shipped by express two armatures
for the machinery which supplies the
current for the incandescent lights here.
These Will arrive to-day aud will be
placed in position Mt once. so that the
current can be turned on tonight
BURNED OUT.
The lights have not shone since
Wednesday evening. when the last of the
three armatures burned ont.
The one capable of supplying $500
lights had burned out few days before,
almost as soon rs it was received and
put in operation. Next the tap of bolt
in l,M0-hght machine worked loose
and falling into the machinery cut the
wires and disabled this apparatus, and
the great strain which WAS then thrown
on the remaining l,0O0-light machine
soon caused it, too. TO give out, leaving
this portion of the electric plant entirely
out OF harness, so to speak.
WHOSE FAULT IT WAS.
Mr.. Cole seems more dissatisfied with
the service that has been given the pub
lie recently than any one OF his patrons
He says he took large orders and made
promises, relying upon the Westinghouse
Company to furnish the materials
promptly as per contract that while al
most daily expecting this large armature
the patronage Of the system has greatly
increased and the two 1,GO0-machines
were strained to supply 5000 lights. and
the tension proved TO be too great. He
thinks when the large machine Is re-
ccived there Will be- no further trouble.
"a he has abundant power and much to
spare. He assures the public that when
the lights are started mp again tonight
there shall not be a recurrence Of tins
trouble nor shall tho quality OF the light
iall to SO low n standard hereafter.
FOR TIE FUTURE.
In order that all demands may he met
and a first class service given m addition
has Deen buit 10 the pant, ana thl5 Will
he furnished with four machines and
sufficient engines to operate $500 lights
This viii be thoroughly equipped within
the next ten days or two weeks, the or
Gcrs having been given for the engines,
&c, about ten days ago.
Many other improvements and addi-
tions are being made to the plant, and
still others are contemplated.
Mr.. Cole, who is a thorough, practical
electrician, has charge Of the entire
plant, including the electrical and me-
chanical equipment Of the Electrician
Line. lie is devoted to his business and
Is determined TO make the operation OF
all Of the systems whose motive power IS
Immediately under his direction as near
perfect as possible.

While it is well understood that the
rates on all eastern roads to Richmond
during the Exposition will be one half
the usual fare both going and coming
yet m effort is afoot, and with promises
of success. to sccurc even lower prices
from certain points. MIR Sol. Haas gen

SUPPOSE Tur I1GHrs WENT OUT.

Recent developments have proved that
the electric lights cannot be absolutely
trusted. Suppose some night during
the Exposition the lights suddenly went
cut? Wouldn't e panic be probable if
several thousand people were thrown
into darkness in the twinkling of an eye
and with no idea how TO find their way
out? Would it not be well TO provide
against such an emergency? 1t could
be done very easily by placing locomo-
tive headlights on each side of the doors
on the inside 80 that people could see
their way to the exits.
This subject is worthy Of considera-
fion
