Mr.. T. B. Richey Marries.

A dispatch from Woodstock, Va, to the
Richmond Dispatch, dated November 2l,
says News of the marriage at st. Louis,
Mo-, recently of Miss Mary Hoshour, of this
place, and Mr.. T. B. Ricbey, of St. Louis,
Mo-, Sunday, November 10th, has been re-
ceived here.
For a number of years prior to July, 1899,
Mr.. Richey was the most prominent and pop
ular merchant of this place. He owned a
large store and had fine trade, but suddenly
disappeared in Washington, D. c., while en-
route to his home here from visit to Atlantic
City, N. j., where his wife was guest. 1t
was thought that he had either met with foul
play, or by some unknown means persisted in
the sewers of that city.
Owing to his popularity in this section,
great interest was manifested about his safety,
until it developed that his disappearance was
prearranged The young lady he has now
married formerly clerked in his store, and at
the time of his disappearance was mentioned
in connection with Mr.. Richey.
Miss Hoshour left here several weeks ago to
visit her sister, near Winchester, Va, from
which place she met Richey and was married.
After leaving here his large business was
closed up by a receiver in order to satisfy his
creditors, and his former wife applied for and
secured an absolute divorce in the Circuit
Court of this county.
GMr. Richey for number of years was a
clerk in Mr.. David E. STEMS store, at Sam s
Creek, this county, and had a host of friends
in that vicinity, who were greatly grieved over
his conduct Editors Advocate.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun. y

All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry

the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected a

York Ravens Big Power Plant.
From the Hanover pa Record.

From the Hanover lPa.) Record.
The largest building operation which has
ever taken place in this section of the country
and perhaps second only in importance to the
great Niagara power plant, is now IN the
course of construction at York Haven. The
work began jane II, 1901, and will likely be
completed in the fall of 1902.
The operation consists of the installation OF
an immense electrical power plant, the cur
rent Of which is to be generated by water
power. This is to be gained by impouuding
and utilizing the entire body of water at the
Falls, point on the Susquehanna River, just
short distance above the plant. The i'm
mensity Of this construction can only be meas
ured by the figures as given. There will be
built a power house 178 feet long and 81 feet
wide, in which there will be 40 turbine water
wheels of 600 horse power, each operating
20, $50 kilowatt generators, together with two
turbines of $50 horse power each, with gene
rators for exciation.
From tins building there is being built a
granite wall $500 feet long and from 26 to
SO feet high, 16 feet at the top and 10 feet at
the bottom. This will enclose race 375 feet
in width, 16 feet in depth, connecting with
the dam at the head of the falls. The con-
struction of the wall will require 100000 cubic
yards of masonry.
A coffer-dam has been erected $50 feet in
length and 24O feet in width in the construe
ton of which As, 600 bags of sand. $50, 900 feet
of timber and 10, 900 cubic yards of stone were
used. Inside of this coffer-dam the foundation
for the power house has been excavated IL
solid rock and the work of laying masonry is
being pushed with all possible energy
Twelve derricks, with the latest improve
ments in hosting apparatus, have been placed
and portable railway laid, reaching all points
at which masonry work is in progress, COM
prising length of nearly two miles and sup
piled with complete equipment for transpor
tation Of material and supplies used in the
work.
In addition to the lands required for the
proposed development there has been pur
chased 45O acres lying contiguous to the
developing property and to the Northern Cen
trail Railway, on which it is expected large
portion of the current generated will be used
10 drive work of large industries, which are
already negotiating for the power.
The company has been capitalized at So,
600, 900 and bond issue has been made O
81 500. 900. 1t will take all of this latter sum
to complete the work. The plan is gigantic
one and has been laid out by Major George
S. Burbank, who constructed the Niagara
power plant All the granite used In the
erection of this immense plant will be taken
from a quarry located but a few yards from

Stayed Under Water Is Hours

New York, Nov. 24.-The submarine
boat Fulton rose from the bottom of the
bay this morning at 80 o clock with all
well and greatly surprised to find there was
storm raging.
The test of the Fulton staying powers
was highly satisfactory, the officers report
ing that there was not the slightest discem-
fort to them during their more than 10
hours of submersion.
Captain Cable, of the Holland Company,
who was in command, said that the boat
could have remained down for three more
hours if there was food enough on board.
The crew experienced no difficulty in
breathing and say that the air was much
purer and better than in an ordinary closed
room in which are several persons.
