WHY IT FAILED.
An Electric Power Interruption That
VIII Not Again Occur.

All Eiecurlc rover interruption That
VIII Not Again Occur.
The electric current was cut last
evening, and for four hours the city was
without street lights or car-power.
The stoppage was the result of the
accident that occurred at the Folsom
end of the line last week, caused by
lightning. The switch board at that
point is the only part of the entire plant
that is not duplicated.
A 'Record-Union" reporter called on
Manager Hall of the power company
last evening, and he said the board
would be duplicated at the earliest pos
sible moment. This, taken in connec-
ton with the fact that the lightning ar
resters are already being connected,
will prevent any similar accident in the
future.

American Tobacco Was the Special Feat
nre of the Market,
New York, March 30,--As of late,
American Tobacco was the special fea-
ture Of the stock market again to-day,
the transactions amounting to nearly
10000 shares. The stock, after an early
break of S per cent, to S51a, advanced
sharply to 80 and later got back to 1914
@S91a. The rise was due to the old re-
port that the directors on Wednesday
next will resume dividend payments.
The strength OF Tobacco finally affected
Sugar, and the stock moved up to 1853,
the best figure for some days past. The
Improvement was in q large measure
the result OF efforts to cover short con-
tracts. Chicago Gas was Irregular and
in the main lower, while General Eelec-
trio and Leather preferred We're firm.
The decision of the Illinois supreme
court in the case Of the old Whiskey
trust had no effect on the stock. as the
company has been reorganized. A be-
lief that the corn-carrying roads will
enjoy a good traffic in the near future
exerted a good influence.
The improvement in the railway list
ranged from X to 1ss per cent, Rock
Island leading with sales up to T0ss, ex-
dividend of ~ per cent.
Net changes show gains of &@1A
per cent, Rock Island and Tobacco
leading.

along Pennsylvania avenue near the

building is filled with water to such
depth that IL is possible TO navigate a row

tian Creek in Michigon.
W1LLIAMsVILLE, Mich, June lc.-From
all parts of southwestern Michigan people
flocked to this little hamlet Sunday TO
witness nearly 100 negro baptized in
Christian creek. The candidates for blp-
tsm, when ranged on the bank of the
stream, made an interesting sight, while
others were clad in calico shirts and over
alls. Some of the young women We're
decked out as if for n picnic, and some of
the older ones had added a flower or
bright-colOred ribbon to their apparel.
The first candidate led down to the
water was the dude of the party and
his attitude as he paced down the steep
incline caused some merrimcnt. As he
was immersed he slipped and foundcred
about i'm the water. Audible comments,
not always fattcring To the candidates,
were made 10y some of the older converts,
as several reformed young men were inn
merscd.
One of the last persons to be baptized
nearly proved conundrum to the master
of ceremonies She was short and thick
and lloated i'm the water like cork,
while the preacher struggled to push her
beneath the surface At length she
started To float down stream. when one
excited convert unable To further control
himself rushed down to the brink of the
stream shouting:
dip her. dip her, Mistah Preacher; her
sins are leaving her i'm clustahs.

ON the Financial Question ON the Floor

ST. LOUIS, June l6.-The thrco- cornered
light on the platform has drawn the lines
very sharply. The men from the east who
are demanding gold I'm the platform are
very determined and such men as Lodge,
Platt and other opponents of Mckinley
seem to feel that they are placing Nc
kinley in n hole by insisting that an
emphatic gold declaration shall be made.
Their programme Is To force the fight in
the committee on resolutions and II they
cannot win in the committee carry IL to
the floor of the convention. Lodge, the
Reed manager, is To lead the fight for "A
gold declaration. II IL is not granted he
and his friends and other Reed men have
a faint hope that the refusal TO put gold in
the platform will solidify the gold vote ON
Reed But the fact that so many McKin-
ley men are for gold gives rise to the hope
That the gold men may be successful.
Want to Avoid Fight.
IL has been the efforts of the friends of
Mckinley TO avoid fight on the floor of
the convention between the two factions
favoring the single standard and against
free coinage. There has been drift to-
ward moderate expression in favor OF
gold, and there is quite pressure from
several states for declaration against
free coinage and not TO have the word gold
used in the platform at all. Senator
Lodge, who has drafted n gold declaration
and secured its Endorsement byrepresenta-
tives of number of states, has been press
ing his plank with great deal Of
