NEW POWER PLANT.
Improvements of Street Railroad Com
pany Nearly Completed.

The Butte Consolidated Street railway
has just nearly completed the expendi-
ture of about $65, 900 in the rebuilding of
the power house n car barns dow on
the lower end Of Montana street.
This work has been going on for
some time," said Manager Wharton this
morning, land it has been a pretty ex-
pensive job. But we will have one Of
the finest power plants to be found any
where.
1.-The building is entirely new and COW
ers he site of the old one which was
torn down piece by piece, to make room
for the new. For this reason the work
has been necessarily expensive. The
plant has cost more under those cOndi-
tons than il 1t had been put up In a
place where no other buildings existed.
While this transformation has been in
progress the plant has been kept in oper-
alton to furnish power for the street
cars"
The new buildings are constructed Of
steel n brick and equipped with the
most modern machinery.
The car barn has been enlarged some
what and stalls are provided for the
accommodation of As cars
In line with the other improvements,
sor is being installed and will be en-
ployed in cleaning cars when they CONT
in off their regular trips. Similar devices
are in general use by the overland rail-
roads and by means of a long hose with
a certain kind of nozzle attached dirt
can be entirely e~radicated from every
c%revice. The compressor will not be
ready for use until about the middle Of
October.

DAN LUCEY'S LAST DAY ON EARTH
AT II O'CLOCK TOMORROW MORNING HE WILL PAY HIS LIFE
FOR THE MURDER OF REGAIN.
HAD INTENDED TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT, BUT WAS AD-
VISED NOT TO BY A PRIEST EVERYTHING IS
READY FOR THE EXECUTION.

In a few hours more-11 o'clock to-mor-
row morning-Daniel Lucey will be
swung into eternity for the murder of
Patrick l.. Regain. 1t was originally in
tended that the hanging should take
place at s o'clock. but Lucey requested
that it be delayed until IL. He said that
he would be weak early in the morning
but expected to regain the strength nee
essary to face the ordeal.
An arrangements for the execu-
ton have been perfected and there
is not the slightest reason to be-
lieVe that any executive clernency will
be extended. Lucey expects none and
no M else anticipates any. In the
southeast corner of the Jail yard stands
the instrument of death awaiting It's VIC
tim. 1t consists of two strong uprights
and a cross beam painted black-an old
coat. Underneath the cross beam are
two pulleys through which the rope y,
be used has been drawn. Beneath one
of these pulleys Lucey will stand while
the rope is being adjusted. The other
pulley is near the east side of the cross
beam. The east end of the rope hangs
400-pound weight which rests on an iron
platform about three feet from the
ground. The platform works from the
center of the upright and one side of it
is tied down with a rope strong enough
to support the heavy weight on the 9TH
er end. When the rope Is adjusted
around the neck Of the condemned man
and the signal to ''let her so" is given,
the rope supporting the weighted plat
form will be cut by a man whose identity
will be hidden by a siX-foot fence, which
has been erected around the east end Of
the frame for the purpose Of shielding
the cutter from the gaze Of spectators at
the execution. Unless the man that
cuts the rope desires his identity known
the public will probably never know who
springs the trap that sends Daniel Luz
cey's soul to mingle with the music of
the spheres. When the rope holding the
platform is severed the weighted end of
the platform will drop and Lucey's body,
being higher than the weight. will be
jerked upward and allowed to hang I'M
til the last scark Of life has LETT it.

day when presented here last season,
Will be seen at the Grand for three nights
commencing tonight. 1t is the first duty
of a melodrama to be melodramatic, and
this play is melodramatic to a high de-
gree. Many thrilling scenes are graph
ically pictured. Scenically, the play is
beautiful. The sets reproductions of
scenes in San Francisco's Chinatown, are
marvels of the scene painters art. There
is a pretty love story running through
the play, which relieves the harshness
and happenings in Chinatown, While a
number of clever specialties are intro
duced in the several scenes.
