A HOOD POWER.
In This Village.

Many people including residents of Canaan, will be surprised to learn the extent of the water power on Salmon Barlow's premises in this village. We understand that by actual measurement there is fourteen feet fall in the Black berry river between MT Barlow's marble quarry and the 0. N. E. pumping sta ton. Just above the pumping station is ledge of rocks extending west for a number of rods from the river bank. This is 8 natural dam and it would cost but very little to build an artificial dam in the river, and a short distance along the east bank, with stone taken from said quarry. By flooding the meadow between the pumping station and the quarry vast reservoir can be obtained. By using one of James Leffell's 35-inch turbine water wheels a 14 feet head of water produces more than forty horse power. That would generate electricity sufficient to light this village, or to furnish power for various manufacturing purposes.
 MT Barlow does not state whether he intends to utilize that power or not, but in this age of electricity either he or someone else ought to make use of it.

Dr MlckIe Goes to Tarrytown.

The Rev Dr William H Mickle. pas tor of the Cold Spring M. E. Church has concluded to accept the passionate of the M. B. Church at Tarrytown, N. Y, says the Newburgh Journal. It will be recalled that at the recent conference he was appointed to Cold Spring. Then Dr Clark Wright, pastor of the Tarry- town Church, was made presiding elder of Poughkeepsie District, and Bishop Joyce named Dr Mickle for Tarrytown. But he preferred Cold Spring, and the congregation there insisted that the first appointment should stand, and de- clined to release their pastor. Dr Mickle, however, after carefully consid- ering the matter, has decided. in the interest of the denomination's good dis- cipline, to go where the bishop sends him, and he will therefore assume the pastorate of the Tarrytown church.

The we'll known novelist, F. Marion Crawford, is to be the biographer of Pope Leo XIII. His biography should on every ground. be most attractive and valuable work. Mir Crawford is not only devoted son of the Church, but is more intimate than almost any layman. not only with the Vatican history. but with the private life, opin- ions and personal characteristics of the pope. Mir Crawford will have every assistance rendered him by the pope's entoursge and relatives, but it would be contrary to precedent. to au- thorize any lsyman to write life of the supreme pontiff, 8 his work can not have that formal cachet.

w. G. BELL UNDER ARREST
He Is Suspected of Being Partner of
John Ryan in the Christmas Hold
Up-What the Drag-Net
Caught.

| A middle-aged man giving the of w,
G. Bell, was arrested by officer Conlon
yesterday morning on suspicion of nav
ing been the partner of John Ryan in
the hold-up of W. j. Lloyd Christmas
night.
Lloyd was on his way home at a
late hour Christmas night At the COR
ner of Wyoming and Granite streets
he felt hand laid on his shoulder, and
turning, he looked down a brace of
guns. He was relieved of $25 and a
watch, and the highwaymen turned
and fled. They ran through a wood
yard at the corner of Broadway and
Wyoming street, where one took ref
uge under a sidewalk Lloyd yelled
Justify when the robbers left him and
the police were soon on hand The
hold-up who hid under the sidewalk
was captured. He gave the name of
John Ryan. The The police had strong
hopes of capturing Ryan's partner be-
lieving they knew who he was, but
they did not succeed in getting the
man they were after, and if the pres
ent suspect is the man, the police the
DRY could scarcely have been farther
from being right.
Lloyd always said he would know the
other holdup if he ever saw him. Yes
terday morning he was on his way
down town from his home and as he
was passing the Butte Brewery saloon
he was startled at seeing in front Of
him the second hold-up, or a man who
bore striking resemblance to the fell
low as he remembered him. Lloyd
abandoned his errand and followed the
man around to half a dozen saloons till
he finally got a good fair look at him
in the face, and feeling very sure he
had not made a mistake, he dropped in
behind again and followed till he came
across officer Conlon on Main street
and had the man arrested.
At the station Bell protested against
being held, saying Lloyd had made a
mistake, but Lloyd was so positive that
Bell was locked up He claimed to have
been born at Virginia City and men
toned numerous people of prominence
whom he claimed were his friends He
is a man about 40 years of age and
has anything but the appearance of a
desperate character
