HOUSATONIC HARNESSED.

Another Scheme to Utilize the Water al Purposes.
 The state papers have this week pub lished the information originating from Torrington to the effect that the E A Perkins Electric Go. of that borough has in view the development of gigan tic electrical power scheme which if carried out will affect all Northwestern Connecticut. The details of this great enterprise are as yet but visionary in the minds of the promoters, but it is definitely reported that it is proposed to harness the Hsusatonic at Falls Vil- lage where, as all know, is one of the most valuable natural water powers in the country. It is proposed to erect a large electrical plant at this point and electricity will be diffused throughout the country roundabout, including all the towns this side of TorringtoD, for power, heating and lighting.
 Conveying electricity long distances has become quite common and the Tor. rington company has taken the lead in this section, although the Winsted Gas Go. has plan completed to build a plant at Robertsville to transmit elect rical power to Winsted, distance of five miles. Edson A. Perkins is treas- urer and manager of the Torrington company and H. NJ. White, formerly proprietor of the Torrington Register, is secretary.
 Falls Village is twenty miles from Torrington but the officials are confi- dent that electrical power can easily be transmitted that distance. The water power in question is controlled by the Falls Village Power Co.,. of which Nicholas Staub of New Milford is pres- ident.
 This is about all that is known re- gardipg the matter and much of this we presume is imaginary. Still We sincere ly hope the Torrington company mean business and that Falls Villages great water privilege is to be utilized. If this is done what transformation may be expected in the old town of Canaan. The long dead and deserted Amesville would doubtless be resurected and the angel of peace. plenty and prosperity would again take up her abode in that forsaken locality.

burdens when enforced by authority and like the seal on Jesus tomb, to be broken. Statements of religious birth are temporary-to be changed as ind1- vidual experiences enlarge. The test of any such statement is it's adsptability to new conditions and that it has march ing qualities. This is true in national life-a constitution must have marching qualities, as has been the case with our own. Some things should and do, re- main sealed; because they are dead and should be buried, and remain SO. That is permanent which has Gods approval and leads back to Him. "This is my beloved son" was Gods approval of Jesus Christ. What the Holy Spirit seals remains. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. !" This will be the principles which gov ern our lives which the Holy Spirit ap- proves-but only as these become a part of our characters; and as fast, only, as they do-as the granite and wood, brick and mortar are built into the building. As fast as tLis is done-and no faster are Gods seals set. The foundation of the Christian church is not Peter, but his great confession that Jesus was the Christ. Not assumption, then, not claims, though never so comprehensive. not pretensious, but possessions are lasting. What we are determines our destiny. Past history, though never so interesting. is but the scaffolding to character. The scaffolding shall be taken down while the building, what. ever it is, remains.

TRIED TO HANG HIMSELF.
Charles Bailey, of This City, Made
an Effort to End His Life at
Montrose.

The following dispatch from Mont
rose was received by The Tribune last
night:
Charles Bailey, of Scranton, wound
up protracted spree here tonight by
attempting suicide by hanging in the
Montrose House barn. He secured u
bridal strap, fastened one end to a
beam and, placing the other around his
neck, he slid his feet from under him
and was strangling horribly when dis
covered by the hostler, Robert Wood
who cut him down. Doctors Wilson
and Mackey were summoned and they
soon revived him.
''He was on the verge of dellrium
tremens when he attempted the rash
act, but later expressed a desire to
live and has been sent to the home of
John Garter, In Bridgewater, where he
has been employed
He formerly resided in Scranton and
was q on-commissioned officer of old
company II of the Thirteenth regi-
ment.
"He was wearing the National Guard
uniform today. He claims to have
been driven from home on account Of
his dissipation, but many Of his stories
are conflicting and they are not alto
gether credited by people here"

INSURGENTS WILL NOT HALT.
Insist That Mechanics Council will
Meet According to Schedule.

The leaders OF the "lnsurgent" fac
tion OF the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics have refused TO
agree to a postponement of the mcot-
ing of the state council until after the
Supreme court has determined the
legality of the per capita tax levied by
the National council last August at
Minneapolis.
They say that the action of Judge
Weiss in declaring the officers of the
State council guilty OF contempt Of
court In attempting to collect this tax
Is decided victory for the "insur-
gents" as they had no desire to punish
the officers further than to have them
adjudged guilty of contempt. The off,
GERS have ten days within which to pay
the cost of the proceedings, and If they
do not do so at the expiration of that
time, they will be committed to jail
The " insurgents" " leaders say the
state council will hold it's regular ses-
sion at Philadelphia on the third Tues
day of September, and that they will
have a decided majority of the dele
gates. The Dauphin county court has
declined to interfere with the holding
of the session, although the state Off
GERS have offered to postpone the meet
ing until after the Supreme court re-
convenes in October.
The loyalists have offered to post
pone the annual session of the State
council until after the Supreme court
shall render an opinion in october. but
the "insurgents" will insist upon the
session being held at the time fixed by
the laws of the order.

500 KEE HAS NOT
MADE HIS ESCAPE
He Is Still at olyphant at the Old
Stand-Dr. Van Sickle's View
of the Case.

500 Kee, the alleged Chinese leprr,
who lives at Olyphant, has not departed
from that place, as reported in an even
ing paper. Kee is still at his old place
of business in the Williamson block, Oh
Delaware street, Olyphant, but his
chances of doing any further business
in that borough appear rather slim,
after the sensational reports that have
gotten about.
The Chinaman has improved suff1c-
iently to be about the place since Sun
day. and is under the care of Or. F. l..
Van Sickle, who scouts the idea that
the disease Is leprosy. When seen by
a Tribune man last night, Dr. Van
Sickle made the following statement:
II have made thorough eXamina-
tion of the case, and at present the
Chinaman is suffering with a slight
liberation on the left lower leg, and
some blotches and spots have been the
result of irritating applications put on
with the supposed intention of reliev-
ing the swelling of the limbs, which
was the result of disease of the kid
neys. He has never mad any of the
true symptoms as found in leprosy."
The quarters in which the afflicted
man lives are kept clean and in good
order. 1t consists of three rooms, a
washing room, ironing room and sleep
ing apartment.
The board of health has taken no ac-
tion, because they think the case does
not warrant it. They believe it is
merely a scare.

A REVENUE DECISION.
All Commission Brokers Must Pay
a Special Tax.

A ruling by the United States inter-
nal revenue commissioner at Washing
ton, just received at Collector PEN
mans Office settles a much disputed
question.
1t is to the effect that a person
whose business it is uron an order from
a customer to negotiate purchases or
sales of wheat or any other merchan-
disc and purchases and sales of stocks
and bonds, etc, even though he makes
such purchases or sales in his own
name only, not disclosing the names
of his customers, is required to pay
special taxes as broker and commits
sion broker.
A number of such brokers have been
using this method to escape paving the
tax, but there is no way In which
they can now elude the revenue col
lector.

wagon was upset, colliding with the
stump of a recently cut down tree,
and both men were thrown out. Cooli-
gan was caught under the wheels,
while Taylor was flung in the way of
the plunging horses and received sew
eral severe kicks.
DR.. Stanton, of Dunmore. was sum-

KILLED in PHILIPPINES.
Henry F. Hart, of North Scranton,
Was Shot While Facing the Foe.
Was Well Known Here.

Mrs. John Hart, of 422 Breaker
street. North Scranton, yesterday re-
Ceived an official announcement from
the war department that her son,
Henry +. Hart of Company +, Forty
second infantry, U. S. A., serving in
Manila, met his death during the
morning of May 30, being shot with his
face to the enemy. doing a brave mans
work. He was corporal in the COM

aim was shot through the left arm and
left side. He died shortly after while
being moved to the hospital.
Corporal Hart was very we'll known
in this city, in North Scranton par
tlcularly, he spending the greater part
of his life there. He would have been
twenty-four years of age next Septem-
ber. While in Scranton he was being
educated for the priesthood and for
three years took a course at St.
Thomas college with that end in view.
When the war with Spain broke out,
however, ne was one of the first to an
swer his country's call fnd enlisted in
the regular army.
Corporal Hart was young man of
magnificent character and his death
deprives the country of good soldier,
his parents of dutiful and true son,
and his friends of a faithful comrade
The sorrow felt among his fellow SOL
diera on account of his death IS shown
in the following letter, which conveyed
the news here:
