Excitement at Wilmington.

Speaking of the St. Adams raid the
Springfield Republican says:
Such state of terror existed in some of
the Vermont towns as to interrupt aud
even stop for a time, social, as well as BUSH
ness affairs. Tie people absolutely be-
lIeved that the confederacy had especial de-
signs upon New England and that the
operations so successfully begun at st. AL
bans wonld surely be continued down
through the states to the sesboard. VIII
mington especially was apprehersive Of a
raid. Consequently the officers of the
bank there, the late Rev. Hosea F Ball1u
being its president, took the precaution to
secrete the funds OF the institution in such
places as would be most likely to pro-
te-t them from the expected maraudeIs.

WindSOr'S Semi-Centennia1.

Just fly years ago, Tuesday January
81, the first passenger trains were run into
Windsor over the Vermont Central road
from White RIVER Junction and over the
Sullivan county from the south, thus COM
pleting the line on the route from Boston
to Northfi. III and to Wells River The
opening of the roads was celebrated in
most enthusiast manner, January 81.
1889 On that day the tram from the
north, made up OF three cars, r, acbed
Windsor little before noon, but the
southern train OF eleven cars was delayed,
and did not arrive until late in the alter
noon The latter is said to have made q
most imposing appearance and steamed in
to the depot yard amidst the shouts of the
spectators, the roar of cannon and the
ringing OF bells John Danvers was the
engineer. and Michael McCsrty, still liv-
ing in Windsor, was the frem The
name of the conductor is unknown, as well
as the names of the train hands. Possibly
somebody may be able to give the Journal
their names, as well as those of the train
men from the north
A part of the great celebration included
grand banquet IN the roo ms over the Of
ficers' and waiting rooms in the depot, then
just completed and used all these years for
railroad purposes, with some few changes.
Covers were laid for 600 guests, and cold
M as and Refreshments were provided Tor
from 1900 to 1900 persons, who could not
get INFO the hanqueting rooms. Tradition
says that the cel. bration was not strictly a
cold water event. II is even hinte | there
was ''hot time in the old town" that day
a. night, because of the frequent popping
OF champagne corks at the tables, and the
free distribution outside of the more Pile
beian New England product of the still.
The banquet was followed by post-pran-
dial exercises lasting late into the night
Governor Carlos Coolidge, chairman of the
reception committee, called President
Sewall Bplknap OF the Central road to pre-
! side, and toasts were responded to by the
governors of Vermont and New H4mp-
shire, Chief Justice Gilchrist of the latter
| state, the presidents of the Sullivan, Chesh-
ire and Northern railroads, and by P. P
F. Degrand and James Barrett of Boston.
Letters OF congratulation were read from
prominent men all over New England and
other parts of the country Windsor

Der gives the figures OF IL of the largest
and most successful electrical companies
IN England and Scotland
According to these figures the average
cost OF electrical energy per kIlowatt is
considerably less than cents. This means
that 5-ampere arc light costs only about
cents an hour to the companies furnish
ing them in these nine English and Scotch
cities. IL is stated by the same writer that
the lowest price at which electricity is for
nished in England and Scotland is, for pri-
waite lighting cents per kilowatt for pub
lie lighting, IL cents per kilowatt for
power to factories, 3 cents per klowatt :;
for street railroads, 2 cents per low att
The average for all services in 1897 in
Brighton was Z 81 cents and in Edinburg
cents per kilnwatt The companies are
usually lmi'ed by public regulations to a
charge OF Is cents per kilowatt, so that in
these two cities customers are charged less
than oneAa'f the maximum
How protitabl it is 70 supply electricity
at the prices given is shown by the ca o.
Leeds, where the electrical company in
competition with gas at 2 shilllngs (50
cents) Ter 1000 feet, made profit OF
$40 7o5 In ten years and til city took
over the works last year under provision
which is inherited in the chaite of all such
companies On the other side. The average
profit in H. eds on the amount of capital
employed was over 10 per cent for the ten
years. No American corporation in any
state or territory, so far as we know, is re-
CURED to make such full public expose OF
is financial operations as is required
of all English and Scotch companies
But the time is coming when this
will be done here and II en- the public will
know just what the cost is of supplying il
with light, heat and power. When that
time comes even the children in the public
schools will be Taught the meaning of the
word kilowatt -Hartford Times. -.

Blake Closes Office.

E. M. Blake of Keene opened brokers'
office in the Howard block some time ago
and closed the same shortly afterwards.
The Keene Sentinel Of Wednesday had
further news regarding him and bis COM
pany; it SAID: 1.-The brokerage c flee man
aged locally by Ellery M. Blake in the
Gurnsey block is no longer open for bust
ness, owing to the failure Of the New Eng
land Stock & Grain Co., represented by
him in this city. The company's wire has
been leased by the Metropolitan Stock Ex-
change, whose local manager is j. G.
Kpucky. The New England Stock &
Grain Co. has been iu difficulty before,
but managed to tide over. This time it is
said not to be in position to resume bust
ness. Several local operators are said to
have suffered to a considerable extent,
while the number of those bitten slightly is
to be quite large.

One night while the excitement was run
Ming high, the stage driver from Brattle-

wi the startling report that the raiders, or
some unknown parties, had taken posses
sion OF the old Bridge tavern, some four
miles east of the village, where they were
undoubtedly plotting TO swoop down upon
defenseless people. The passengers,
among whom were two strangers, were
closely questioned, not only concerning
their own purposes, but about what they
saw and heard on III ir way to Wilmington.
Finally it was determined to send Mr..

Cost of Electric Light.

The term kilowatt signifies an unknown
quantity to most persons, but as 1t seems
destined to a large extent to replace the
term horsepower in the measurement OF
units of power, as result of the general
intr oduction OF electrical energy for great
variety of purposes, it becom niece ssary
that all should understand just what the
word meaos. A kilowatt Q000 watts) is
equivalent to about one and one-third Of a
horsepower for one hour. 1t means the
power necessary to give 10 ampere cur
rent of electricity at 100 volts pressure, or
one at 1000 volts, or 3 amperes at 200
volts. Ii is always the product OF multi
plying such a number of volts by such a
number of amperes as will give total OF
1000, the watt being the lowest unit OF
electrical power.
To illustrate the application of the term,
we have only to take the ordinary To-
candle power mean escent lamp. These
lamps are constructed to take about one
bait ampere OF current of ITO volts pres
sure One such lamp, therefore. consumes
So watts per honr, and one kilowstt OF
electrical power should sustain 10 such
llsmps Tor one hour. A horsepower is cal
culated to sustain - or IA such lamps.
Aesin. take the arc light. Lamps are now
supplied il Hartford which consume a. low
rs two ard one-half amperes at ITO volts
One such arc lis ht therefore con.umes 2l5
watts per hour and four such lamps con-
sumo little more than kilowstt Of power
per hour A 5ampere lamp takes just
twice as much power. A 3-ampere lamp
on 10 volt current would consume $50
watts and three such lamps take ain ost
exactly one kilowatt per hour.
