Transmission of Electric Power.

Transmission of Electric Power.
The worldwide renown of Niagara
Falls has lent peculiar distinction to
the great electric power plant recently
installed there, but the American Ma
chinist says that Sin so far as the NJ
agara plant Is a long-dlstance one the
work done up to date has been sur
passed in several instances, both in the
distance covered and the amount of
power transmitted" Many Of the
greatest electric power plants are
among the Rocky Mountains and on
the Pacific coast. At Fresno, Cal, a
reservoir on the brow of nearby
mountain supplies the heaviest head of
water yet used for such a purpose,
400 feet, and the power is distributed
over distance Of thirty-fiye miles. In
some of the Western installations the
water, after serving Its purpose in
generating electric power, is utilized
for irrigating land.

Woodstock Vt. Aug. 22-Thomas .. Seaver.
Judge Of Probate for Windsor Comfy, was shot
this morning by William w. Lawrence while
standing the piazza Of his house. The ball
penetrated his right lung and lodged under the
shoulder blade. The wounded man is reported
as resting quietly tonight. and the attending
physician thinks he will recover. Lawrence sur
rendered himself to Sheriff Thomas after the
shooting and was lodged in Jail to await hear
ing tomorrow
1t is alleged that the trouble which led to the
assault began early in 1896, when Mrs. Lawrence
left her husband and child, and applied to Judge
Seaver for the appointment Of guardian over
the girl. who was about seven years old 1t Is
said that Lawrence tried to steal the child from
the persons who were caring for her under the
direction of the guardian, Joseph {. Enrght,
then State Attorney. Judge Seaver granted an
Injunction restraining Lawrence from interfering
with the girl in any way.
AZ the last session of the court Mrs. Lawrence
petitioned Cor a divorce on the grounds Of intol-
erahle severity and refusal to support. The case
was tried before Judge Start, and dismissed be-
cause of insufficient evidence. The lnJunctloh
was removed and Lawrence got permission 10
SEQ his child Lawrence conducted ms own de-
fence - c
Lawrence has greatly dsliked Judge Seaver
oyer since the guardian appointed, and this
morning he called on the Judge and entered INTO
a hot discussion with him. The Judge ordered
Lawrence to leave the house. and followed MIN
10 the door where Lawrence drew IeVoiVer
and dred two shots the first Of which took erect,
as before stated. At the jail Lawrence Wdo
searched and a small quantity OF morphine Was
found upon him Judge Seaver is highly re-
spected. and has been Judge Of the Probate
Court for many years.
