Great Steam Power.

EaCn DDlltr Is capdDle OF generating 'boV
horse power of steam. They are sup
piled with individual economizcrs. a new
contrivancc when two or more boilers are
placed in the same room. They will do
away with the old boilers when COM
pleted and the latter will be removed
from the quarters where they are now
in the way and in more or less dan
gerouS position for the employees of the
office.
The steam from the new boilers will
be conveyed to the engine room beside
the motor room through three great pipes
that lie in a II underground tunnel. This
tunnel IL already completed and the pipes
are in place. The tunnel is about 275
feet long and about four feet high and
runs under one Of the press rooms and L
court.
The great smokestack, ID feet high,
that has already been completed, rises
from one end OF the boiler-room. 1t is
built of steel and lined with brick and has
"A base diameter OF / - feet, while the
top IL Z 2 feet in breadth. A ring OF
thirtytwo electric lights Of thirty-two
candle power each. surrounds the summit.
The engine in connection with the dyna-
mos is q vertical marine affair OF 25O
horse power, though it has at times been
forced to exert a power equivalent to
300 horses There are three dynamcs
developing a power of so kilo watts each
A kilo watt equal toabout one and a third
horse power. These are all connected
with the engine by shafting.
Connected directly with the engine by
crank is a Westinghouse kodac-a great
dynamo Of 1S9 2 kilo watts power. 1t
can be operated independently Of the three
smaller dynamoS or any one OF the latter
can be run independently of the others.
A remarkable feature III connection with
the apparatus is the fact that work was
never suspended day while it was being
put in place and that, too, in spite OF the
fact that the floor of the room was lowered
four and half feet in the construction.

UNCLE SAM SAVED MONEY
Electrical improvements at the
Printing Office Does This.
NEW PRINTING PRESSES
Great Boilers Being Put in Place.
No Loss OF Time Has Been Ex-
perienced While the Work Is
Done-Floor Lowered Over Four
Feet.

One of the most interesting parts of the
that viii be given to the public this week
is the portion compiled by Mr.. w. II.
Tapley, chief electrician at the Govern
ment Printing Office. 1t sets forth the
improvements made in the use OF electricity
during the past year in the office and
shows that in some departments, at-Ieast,
Uncle Sam is running abreast OF the times.
Mr.. Tapley is a modest and unasSumlng
man, but to him is largely due the inven-
ton and construction or many machines
that will save thousands of dollars an
nually TO the government and give the
employees OF the great office on North
Capitol street n clean and healthful place
10 work. In this last feature alone he has
conferred lasting benefit upon hundreds
OF souls that will make the memory of
himself and assistants pleasant long after
the rotary movement Of politics has prob
ably carried them from their present posts
of duty.
Tie electrical plant of the Government
Printing office is not yet complete. 1t
probably never will be so long as inven-
ton and science are known quantities.
The latest Improvements, incidental TO
the electrical apparatus, are the great
boilers that are being placed in the new
boiler house. Two of these great steam
makers were being erected when Times
reporter made a tour of the plant yes
terday afternoon.

nation. He says:

or three weeks ago that some parties
in boring a we'll had struck natural
gas, 1 would like to get some further
information about it.
Il would like to know how strong a
flow or high the pressure is at the

and if there is any sand near there
suitable for making flint glass.

AN ANNOYING ERROR.
But 1t Was One That Any Person
Tight flake.

Late on Monday night a telephone
message came to the 'Record-Union"
announcing that a 10-year-old boy had
left his home to seek adventure in some
wild country. The person who re-
ceived the message understood the
sender to give his name as G. l.. Mel.
It seems, however, that it was G. A.
Neale who was at the other end Of the
telephone, but owing to the noise made
by a passing street car and the sim
ilarity in the two names, as received
by wire, the wrong one was accepted,
and the announcement made that Mr..
Mieps boy had left home
It was no doubt very annoying to
Rev. Mr.. Mel and family as we'll as a
surprise to his sons, when they read
their morning paper yesterday, and the
Record Union" regrets exceedingly the
error. But it was one that any per-
son might readily make under the cir
cumstances.
AS soon as the Record Union" was
read bright and early in the morning
by people living along the roads lead
ing to the country, they began to look
for kid with a toy rifle. Pretty
soon the juvenile Terror of the Plains
was seen making his way down the
Riverside road and was promptly gath
cred in and taken to his home.

SLIGHTLY MIXED.
The Verdict i'm the HawOrth Case
rlade the Court Smile.

When Judge Hart charged the jury
yesterday in the case of Ellen Haworth
against the city for s., 215 damages for
injury alleged to have been inflicted on
her property south of r street by the
Seventeenth street canal, he submitted
to them three propositions, about as
follows:
IF any nuisance existed prior to the
filing of the complaint, has it since
been abated?"
rs the canal, adjacent to the plain
tiff's premises, a nuisance as it exists
today"
WAS the canal mentioned in the
complaint, as maintained by the de-
PENDANT on June q, 1896 a nuisance?"
To each of these propositions the
jurors, in their verdict, reply YES"
They also give judgment for the plain
tiff in the sum Of 500.
When the verdict was read Judge
Hart smiled, for he can appreciate a
good thing, whether on or off the bench.
The case went to the jury before 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, and it took
that body until after 9 to come to
such a queer agreement. They were
discharged and the attorneys looked in
ouiringly at one another and then went
to their homes to ponder over the YER
diet.
Briefly stated, the jury found that &
there was nuisance last June, it had
since been abated.
They then declare that the canal is a
nuisance as it exists to-day.
Thirdly-They declare it as their be-
lief that the nuisance complained of
in June, 1896, really did exist.
And finally they award the plaintiff
500 damages.

WANTED TO GO TO FOLSOM.
Frank Jones Asks Justice Davis to Send
Him for Life.
He Will, However, Pass His Time in
a Lunatic Asylum for
While.

John Germrock, alias Frank Jones,
was arraigned in the Police Court yes
terday on charge of vagrancy, plead
ed guilty and was sent to Jail for sew
enty days.
Jones has been for three years in the
Folsom prison and when Justice Dav-
is was ready to sentence him, he said:
Send me back to my old home in
Folsom, Judge, or to the County Jail
for life
What" calculated the court in sur
prise, and the request was repeated.
Jones is considered a dangerous man
by the officials at Folsom He is men,
tally unbalanced and they do not con-
slider him responsible.
Jones is the man who, nearly four
years ago, entered the office of Captain
Hawk and at the point of pistol de-
manded his money, and when it was
refused, jumped into Hawks buggy
and tried to escape, but was captured
by Officer Higgins, in spite of his pis-
tol. He was sent to Folsom for three
years, and when his time expired he
refused to leave the prison and had to
be driven away.
When he was taken to the County
Jail yesterday, he was examined by
Drs. Glow and Hart as to his mental
condition. They found that it was
more or less unsound, and made a re-
port that will be submitted to one of
the Superior Judges. The proba bility
is that Jones Cor Germrock will be
sent to some asylum
Some years ago, before Jones was
sent to Folsom, the house of W. L..
Witherbee on H street was burglar
lied. Mr. .Witherbee was out of town
and Mrs. Witherbee was staying at the
house of her father, Mr.. Lindley. The
burglar lit a fire in the stove. cooked
his supper and lit the lights in the
house. He even lay down ON the bed
and took a nap. When he was ready
to leave he packed a valise with about
$3.50 worth of jewelry and silverware
and took it down town and sold it TO a
pawnbroker for s. The pawnbroker
notified the police and the property was
all recovered. The description of the
man who had sold the articles tailed

The day before a supposed burglar
was found in the house of A. L. Hart
A man was seen climbing up the porch

Officer Talbot, Jones was examined by
Drs. Glow and Hart and was held on

INDIA FAMINE RELIEF.
Commissioner Hobbs Publishes an Inter.
eSting Card.
Makes a Plain Statement in Regard
to the Action of Western
Railroads.

The San Francisco post" of last
evening published the following card;
Before leaving San Francisco [ wish
to take this method of stating some
facts concerning the railroads which
come toward San Francisco from the
Missouri River
Like many other people, have some
times labored under the delusion that
corporations have no souls. No one can
certainly think that who has been con-
nected with the Indian Famine Rellef
movement. Early in the history of this
movement a number of the railroads
made concessions which were exceed
ingly generous. In the East and in the
West thousands Of tons Of grain have
been moved free of charge; especially Is
it true that the Western roads have
shown a very generous spirit, notably
the Union Pacific has greatly helped in
making it possible to load the City of
Everett, that road having hauled 800
tons of freight absolutely free from the
Missouri River to ogden. This is also
true Of the Rio Grande Western and its
Eastern connections, who have hauled
their share in proportion.
But beyond all other roads the South
Rrn Pacific has been most liberal. No
one who has come over the road from
Ogden to San Francisco can fail to ap-
preciate what a task it is to bring
heavily loaded freight trains over the
very heavy grades. 1t certainly must
cost much more to transport a ton of
freight under such circumstances than
over a road that is comparatively level;
and yet with all this difficulty to con-
tend with, the Southern Pacific has
hauled 1000 tons or nearly one-half of
the City Of Everett's cargo absolutely
free from ogden to Port Costa. Not
stopping at this, they We're willing to
bring the balance of the cargo at a rate
which I am told by railroad men wholly
disinterested in the Southern Pacific
Company, barely covers the cost of
transportation.
Whoever feels friendly toward the
mission of the City of Everett must feel
kindly toward the Southern Pacific
Company. They could not have treated
us more handsomely or have dealt with
us more literally than they have. L am
very positive that without their aid we
never could have sent the ship to India
During the past three months l have
been thrown into association with the
general freight agents Of all the great
Western roads, and to a man l have
found them to be sympathetic with
plans to help suffering humanity. Some
corporations do have souls.
