with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump.
CentrifugaIs, Elevators, Flows, Rail-
ways and Hoists; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from 15 to
80 miles.
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.

Enters Upon It's Seventh Week.

Main-Street Vaudeville Park last night
inaugurated its seventh week to the
largest business OF the season, and with
a performance that was well-rounded,
artistic. and clean from start to nnisn.
The welcome which was extended 10 MISS
Adele Jackson and Harry Z. STANLEY on
their return engagement was especially
pronounced. Miss Jackson has a number
of new selections we'll suited TO her mag
nifcent voice, and was forced 70 respond
to several recalls. Miss Dorothy Drew
made a most decided impression IN pretty
gowns. clever dances, and new songs, ana
Miss Marie Richmond was quite favor

and Stewart had an abundance OF idnny
toLes which kept the audience in roars
of laughter and following them all ralph
post and Essie Clinton found no difficulty
in holding the big crowd to the last win
one of the most decidedly original sketch
90 NJ the season. One Of its novel fea-
lures Is when the second partner OF the
team Is drawn from the audience.

Engineer Jumps from His Train.

AS an excursion for oolored people run
from Richmond to Mount Pleasant was
returning last night, few minutes after
7 o'clock, it ran into an engine which
was standing on the main line near the
round-house. Engineer j. w. Cloves, as
soon as he perceived the danger, jumped
from his engine. In doing SO he sus-
tanned compound fracture OF the right
ankle and cut his head badly. Fortu-
nately, he had closed the throttle of his
engine and applied the brakes before
jumping, and the train came to a stand.

done. Mr.. Cloves was taken to the Re.

Hest of the Season.

Not before this season has a more
pleased audience left the pavilion al
Broad-Street Park than that which last
night enjoyed, without doubt, the most
excellent bill of the season.
The Citizens Band gave a concert be-
fore the first curtain, which will be re-
peated every night this week.
The most pronounced hit OF the bill goes
to Charles II. Dunstan, a singing come
dian, with comedy manners, that become
irresistible the more he sings.
Adolph Adams uses his morbid and re-
firing countenance to give many charac-
ter approximations of prominent men, and
the electric Clark Sisters. with t-ieir
pretty faces and clever songs and dances
are sure favortes, while the musical o.
Carr and Mcleod introduces many pleas
ing bits OF comedy.
Seville and Stewart have a splendid
centric comedy act, and Ed. Leonard al
his youthful partner caught the oro'
with negro melodies and u clever wiz
dance.

Gov. TyIer's Protest Against Ill Sol
diers Landing fs Successful,


diers Landing is Successful,
Governor Tyler has protested against
the landing Of sick soldiers at Old Point.
and has been assured that no more will be
sent there.
His Excelency called the attention OF
the War Department to tina disastrous
results which would be almost certain TO
follow the breaking out of an epidemic
at Old Point, among them tho proba BILE
suspension of all work at the Newport
News ship-yard. The department seemed
TO realize the necessity for sending sick
soldiers where they would be less likely to
spread contagious diseases with which
they might be affected, for Governor Ty-
Ter wars assured they would henceforth be
sent elsewhere.
The Governor went to Old Point Satur-
day TO investigate the rumors regarding
the presence of yellow-fever among the
sick soldiers recently sent from Santiago.
he had previously united with Dr. A. &.
Jones, the quarantine officer for the port
Of Newport News, in request to the gov
eminent to send experts TO Old Point to
examine the suspected case. These ar
rived Sunday, and after a careful dag
nosis reported to Governor Tyler that the
man was suffering with very severe at
tack of typhoid-fever. The patient is kept
in a tent entirely isolated from the rest
OF the soldiers. and a guard keeps all ex-
cept the physicians and nurses at safe
distance.
DR.. Jones, the Newport News quaran-
tine officer. is highly commended for his
exceedingly careful discharge of his du-
ties. Recently the Breakwater, a vessel
used as a United States transport, was
ordered to Newport News, bet DR.. Jones
had heard she was suspected OF having
the germs of yellow-fever in her hull, and
his protest against her being sent there
was so strong that she was ordered TO
New York, where she will be fumigated.

Atlanta Reunion, the delegates from Lee

date work to secure the 100000, upon
which the donation of a similar amount

Surrendered Spaniards Fire on
American Launch.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
GUANTANAMO HARBOR, PLAYA
DEL ESTE, Sunday Evening, July IT,
The correspondent was informed tonight
that this morning, the Spaniards at and
near Caimanera fired on a steam launch,
which, with its companions. constantly
patrols the entrance to the lower bay.
This hostile act was something Of sur
prise, because the troops under Perez had
been informed the day before that San
tiago was to surrender formally at noon
to-day, and that his troops were included
in those who must lay down their arms
and return to Spain.
TO grim famine in Guantanamo city
and it's environs are added the ravages
of yellow-fever, which seems to be much
more virulent in type than it is further
westward. Deaths from Yellow Jack
average fifteen per day. This report is
official and from Perez himself
MILES GUARANTEED.
A strict military quarantine is observed
here, and Commander McCalla. of the
Marbehead, is infinitely more strict than
any health officer the States can boast.
General Miles, who came here on the
Yale yesterday was not allowed to land
until he showed a medical certificate TO
the effect that Immediately after his
visit TO the Santiago army his person
and his apparel had been fumigated. The
General has gone so far as to sacrifice
his moustache to the exigencies of the
occasion.
