WATER WHEELS.
The Moline Water Power Com.
pany Lets Its Contract.
EXTENSIONS ARE TO COST $4,000.

The Plan Lotto Which the Company ard
improvement In Power Facilities In
sured
At meeting of the Peoples Power
company at its office in Rock Island
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
contract was entered into with the
Trump Manufacturing company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, for IL new water
wheels and necessary transmitting
machinery to be used in perfecting
the Moline Water Power company's
plant under the joint arrangement
entered into with the government
As has been heretofore extensively re-
ferred to in The ARGUS the increase in
power anticipated will be 1000 horse
power at q 7-foot head Of water. The
advantages in generating power to
be accomplished may be thus con-
ceived. The total amount involved
in the transaction including wheels,
harness, rope transmission. etc.. is
$4,000, while, as has been noted
on previous occasion, the gov
eminent has expended similar
amount in perfecting the upper dam
near Rock Island arsenal. Added to
this may be properly given the $780,
0O0 expended by the Peoples Power
company in putting its plant in
shape by the introduction of the
latest improved machinery to re-
ceive and utilize the increased gen
Grating force.
Advantages OF the Increase.
The advantages of the increase in
power facilities are obvious. and it
places the Moline Water Power conf
pany in a position to meet not only
all present but future requirements
that may come upon it for many
years to come. A great source of
employment for this power is the
Moline Central Street railway, which
is not only an extensive system. and
with prospect of additional lines,
but having its main line running up
hill. variations in power consumed
are likely tc be felt at any time
and are frequently so sudden as to
be eXacting in the matter of power.
The Power company is now in sha e.
or will be when the new water wheels
are in place, to meet emergencies
or contingencies and it's plant
will be one of the best equipped in
the Mississippi valley. and its capa.
city all sufficient to supply any de.
mand that may arise.
OF the new water wheels con
tracted for by the company six are tc
b. delivered June l and the remainder
Sept l following. Other bidders on
the contract were the Dayton Globe
pany, OF Springfield. Ohio. and S.
Morgan Smith, of New York.

DEAD MAN At THE LEVER.
Fast Chicago Mail Train Guided Into

Fast Chicago Mail Train Guided Into
Burlington by a Corpse.
BURLINGTON, Ia, June 22.-When the
Burlington's fast mail train Numbered
across the Illinois bottoms from Biggs-
Vile to this city, q dead man was in the
engineers seat and the hand of corpse
held the lever.
The engine is one of the new pattern
with seven-foot driving wheels and ca
pable of running mile minute with a
heavy train. The fast mail was on time
and running fully fifty miles an hour
when it approached the Burlington
bridge across the Mississippi river at
this point. Instead of stopping to signal
the draw, which was just closing after
passing a steamer through, the engine
dashed right on the bridge approach
without even signal. Fireman Sam
Main, badly frightened, sprang around
the immense boiler, which fills the cab,
and found Engineer V. B. Giddings
dead, with horrible cash in his fore
head. No one knows where or how he
was struck, as there was nothing about
mis- position or the cab to give a clew.

LONDON, June ga letter from an
Englishman who has long been resi-

a serious picture of the situation Of
affairs in that country. He says that a
revolution is only a question of time,
that the taxes are 60 per cent on all in
comes. and that the starving state of the
peasantry and the lower classes gener-
ally equals that which obtained before
the last revolution. In Sardinia, he
adds, mothers are Ky

and weeds by the roadside, and that In
all parts there are deaths from starva-
ton. The women straw workers Of
Tuscany, It appears, are in open revolt,
and everywhere the men and women
are reduced to skeletons, and are to be
seen carrying their last rags to be sold
for taxes. .., 49, +.~
In Lombardy and northern districts
where the people live on insufficient In

good part of the victims die insane.
