A Model Plant is not complete with

with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-

Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it
costs nothing to generate Electric

s"oohs at Railroad Station When
Unable to Bid Her Son
Farewell.

Mrs. Frank NJ. Gooding, of No. 1912
Hutton street, Brandywine village
swooned at the station OF the p, w, &
b. railroad Yesterday forenoon, owing to
her failure to bid her only son, who was
enroute to Tampa, Fla, farewell.
Her boy was one of the 204 naval re-
serves that passed through this city yes-
terday at noon from Brooklyn and the
mother had waited for three davs at the
station. anxiously ins. citing every train
for sight of him.
She fully expected the train carryi
him to stop here but as it whirled past
the station she caught one glance of her
boy, the tlutter of white handkerchief
and the words Of "Good-bve mother"
and that was ALL
The strain to which she had been SUBJ
jected WAS too great for her to bear and
she fell in dead faint at the feet of her
husband, who was with her. She was
resuscitated and subsequently, removed
to her home. Mrs. Goodlng had pre-
pared basket full Of good things for her
son and these rolled away unnoticed
when she swooned.
The railway officials stated that had
they known the nature of her long wait
they would have tagged the train and
stopped it long enough for her to bid her
son farewell.

The ground taken by Mr.. Cooper in

The injunction granted by the chan

appointed by the Superior Court from
performing its work and condemning
the land through which it is proposed to
run the line, but it will prevent the put

Upon application of Mr. Cooper Chan

ReiniOrcements for Shafter
Special Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Although no
dispatches have been received at the War
or Navy Depal tments from Guantanamo
today, Secretary Alger said this after
noon that Ii" had sent word to General
Shaiter to keep him advised of the move
ments OF the troops.
From this it is certain that the cable
is still open, but Secretary Alger believes
that as General Shafter has not answered
his dispatches, the troops have not yet
been landed
There is II great anxiety at the War
Department for news from the army,
and especially to learn that the army
has been dsembarked. The fact that
the soldiers have been on the transports
forever week, and that the weather is
excessively hot, makes the Department
anxious that the troops should at least
be put on shore where they can get
fresh air, ior at night the transports have
to be darkcned and all the matches and
windows closed to keep in the light. As
soon as General Shaiter and Admiral
Sampson decide upon landing place
the War Department will be notified and
the movements on land reported ut once
to the Department.
The rpinforcenents for General Shafter
ordered from Camp Alger have already
started to Hampton Roads. General
Dufield's brigade was the one selected to
move first, and it left Camp Alger this
morning for Alexf iria, where the SOL
diers will take the boat for Hampton
Roads and be PIT upon the Harvard.
General Garretson's brigade will leave
before the end Of the week by the same
route, and in all probability they will, as
stated, sail on the Yale. General Guy V.
Henry has been assigned to the com.
mand OF the brigade ordered to Santiago
to reinforce General Shafter. General
