The ChIttenden Power ComPany's IUa-
mense Reservoir.

mense Reservoir.
The Chittenden Power company has 80
men at work on the big dam in Chittenden
Meadows, 1000 feet higher than Rutland.
The dam stretches $50 feet across a small
valley, and is imbedded deep in the side of
hill. The backbone of the dam is a wall
of solid masonry, six feet thick at the base,
and tapering to "a feet at the top. Around
this wall is being built an embankment Of
earth which will be 1870 feet thick at the
base. The flow line of the dam will be 20
feet above present bed of the creek and
the top of the embankment will be FIVE feet
hig her. When the dam is finished the
water Of the Chittenden branch of East
creek will be set back 24 miles, and it is es-
timated that 500 acres Of meadow land will
be flooded. So level a stream as East
creek is at this point is seldom found so
high up among the mountains. For the
first two miles above the dam the stream
rises only II feet. The purpose for which
the dam is being built is 10 give uniform
flow Of water in East creek, and it will be a
boon to the Vermont Marble company and
the owner of every mill between Chitten-
den and Vergennes. Enough water will be
held in reserve to run the company's plant
at East Pittsford six months. 1t is expect
ed that uniform 300 horse power will be
developed at East Pittsford.

Terrible Epidemic OF Typhoid.

There are cases of typhoid fever in 11S
out of 200 families in Cementon, a small
town on the Lehigh river near Allentown,
Pa. All of the members of % families are
Frustrated. There have been several
deaths and many of those who are ill are
in critical condition. Most of the families
are poor, and there is lack of medical at
tendance and nursing 1t is believed that
the cause is the towns water supply,
which is taken from the Lehigh river
The river is very low, and contains little
more than the overflow of cesspools and
drains of towns above Cementon. The
populus towns of Catasauqua, Bethlehem,
Allentown and Easton are on the Lehlgh
river.

A year ago Judge Montgomery, Of West
Virginia, sentenced Lud Madison, colored,
to be hung January IA in the state peni-
Tertiary At Moundsville for the murder of
another negro. Two days before the date
OF the execution Gov. Atkinson issued a
respite for nine days. The Judge who
sentenced him died before the reprieve ex-
pired. Two weeks ago MadlsOn's case
was forced OH the authorities by q report
OF It TO Gov. Atkinson. The governor de-
cided that the judge being dead and the
time for re-sentence having passed no one
can now re-sentence Madison. The date
OF legal death having passed, Madison
cannot be hanged on the original sentence.
As he was never sentenced to imprison-
ment, he cannot be kept In the penitentia-
ry, so Madison will probably be released.

Negro Burned at the Stake.
Colorado Mob Lynohed John Porter,
- r. IN. NVurdo. ~ , UtetIa S.trI

Colorado Mob Lynched John Porter,
~, for the Murder Of Little Girl.
John Porter, the young negro, who con-
fessed that he murdered Louise Frost at
Limon, Colo, was burned to death Friday
for his crime. He was taken from the
county Jail at Denver by Sheriff Freeman
and was placed on Union Pacific train to
be taken to the jail at Hugo. At Limon
the train was boarded by vigilance com
mittee. Sheriff Freeman urged the com
mittee to allow him to take his prisoner to
the jail,at Hugo They refused and took Por-
ter to Lake Station, where Robert w.
Frost, father Of the girl whom Porter CON
fessed to have murdered, demanded that
the boy be burned at the stake. The vigi-
lance committee at first protested, but
finally consented to do as Frost desired.
Railroad ties were brought in wagons to
the spot where the murder was committed,
and Frost started the fire which ended the
negro's life. About 800 citizens of Lincoln
county composed the mob responsible for
the lynching.
Notices were posted Friday warning
negroes of bad character to leave Lincoln
and Ebert counties, and declaring that if
they do not CO. they will be escorted across
the border. Officials of the Union Pacific
and Rock Island railroads have been petit
toned to remove from those counties all
the imported colored section men.

Chinese Built Temples i'm Mexico Gem

turtles Ago.
The report that American officers had
unearthed ancient records in Pekin show
ing that the Chinese discovered America
1900 years ago, and erected temples in
Mexico aroused the greatest interest
among scientific men in Monterey and
throughout the country. The Chinese
temples referred to are in the state of So
nora and on the Pacific coast. The ruins
of one of the temples was discovered near
the town of Ures two years ago. One of
the large stone tablets found in the ruins
was covered with carved Chinese charac-
ters which were partly deciphered by a
learned Chinaman who visited the ruins
at the request of the Mexican government.
This Chinaman made the assertion at the
time that the ruins were those of a temple
which had been erected many centuries
ago by Chinese, but his statement was not
received with credence. 1t has long been
claimed that the Indians of the state of
Sonora are descendants of these early
Chinese settlers. They possess many ira
ditions and characteristics of the Chinese.
II the report of the finding of the record in
Pekin be verified. an expedition will go
from Monterey to explore further the an
cient temples of Sonora.

Hawaiian Elections Go Against IKE
whites.

Robert W. Wilcox, the Independent
Royalist candidate, has been elected Hawa-
iian delegate to congress by a small major
ity over Samuel Parker, Republican. Much
depression has resulted among all whites,
as Wilcox was strongly opposed by Repubs
licans and Democrats alike. His campaign
was an anti-white canvass, with promises on
the part of some of his campaign workers
that, if he were elected. Queen Liliuokalani
should be restored to the throne. The re-
suit of the vote shows that native bitter
ness over annexation is still alive. Repub-
licans carried Honolulu and the island of
Oahu for Parker by 219 plurality. The
Democratic candidate, Prince David Kaw-
anaakona, received only about one-third as
many votes as parker. 1t is reported that
ex-Queen Piliuokalani threw her influence
secretly to Wilcox.

The new 10 inch gun, which was tested
at the proving ground at Indian Head,
near Washington, recently, eclipsed all for
mer records for velocity and power.
With a charge of 800 pounds of smokeless
powder, giving pressure of 10 1-2 tons to
the square inch, the gun gave a muzzle
velocity of 1854 feet a second. Previous
records have ranged from 2500 to 2800
feet. With an $50 pound steel tipped pro-
iectile the big gun would pierce any armor
ever made. 1t is the first Of 40 guns
which will go on the new battleships and
armored cruisers.
In his annual report Gen. Miles renews
his recommendation that the permanent
force of the army should be enc man for
each 1000 of population. He says the force
has been so much reduced that at the
present time there are not one fourth
enough troops properly to care for and
man the Notifications which have been
erected on the seacoast at an expenditure
Of nearly $50, 000 900. In addition TO the
artillery deficiency, the present home force,
998 officers and 49, sos men, is not suffici-
ent to occupy the interior garrisons prop
erly, or to protect life and property on the
Western frontier, and what is still more
serious, the government is left without
troops to relieve those who have had too
much tropical service.
James Dunlap, the noted leader of the
band of bank robbers that looted the North
hampton bank in 1876, is destined to spend
the rest of his life in prison, unless he is
again pardoned. A despatch from Wat
seka, ILL.,, states that on Saturday Dunlap
pleaded guilty in the circuit court there,
to the charge of robbing bank at Well
ington, ILL.,, and was sentenced to 20 years
in the state penitentiary at Joliet. This is
the same length of term that he and Scott
were sentenced to serve after their convic-
ton for robbing the Northampton bank,
and in Illinois, as in Massachusetts,, it is
the extreme penalty for the crime OF
berry. Dunlap said he pleaded guilty
cause he had no money to spend in fighting
his case. He was living in luxurious
apartments with no apparent means OF
support when he was arrested.
