the stability of property here and
the activity of the real estate mar
ket. The sale is said to have been
the best attended held here for sev
eral years; that is. attended by
people who come to buy. The bid
ding was spirited. All but one piec,
went for more money than the APP
praisement; and every piece but one
was paid for spot cash. While the
property was none of it expensive,
this is most encouraging indication
of prosperity. The sales were as fol
lows:

JEPHTHAH'S

Closing Entertainment of

the School Year.

The conscientious. high-class work
done by the Sisters of Providence in
the St. Mary S academy is never ex.
emplitied to the full extent to those
who do not send children there, ex-
cept through the entertainments
they give; and never was it given q
better proof than by the presenta-
tion last evening by the pupils of the
Oratorio of Jephthah S Daughter, on
the occasion of the closing of the
school for the summer vacation. St.
| Mary 5 hall was filled and the audi
ence was cultured and appreciative
one. A pleasant feature of these en-
| tertainments is the assem- blage.
| which is always more or less a sort
Of family gathering. The familiar
form of Father Mac, the older
members of the congregation. the
middle aged ones, and the children.
all are there and there to enjoy them
selves.
The oratorio is one of the most
pleasing in the entire musical lit
erature that can be attempted by
classes of this size. The music IS
fully heavy for all the performers
and pretentious sufficiently to bring
out the best capacities of the classes !:
and the nobility of the theme IS
welded to music that is peculiarly
Citing. As Iphigenia, Jeptha S
daughter, Maude Flanagan was sim

acter in the truest sense. 1t has

an arrangement of Don Pasquale bv

of the benefits to the pupils was the
excellent manner in which the clos

ELECTRIC LIGHT
Ground Stdked Off-The New Building
and the Location of the Machinery
Some figures.

MeSsrs. Varney, Asch and Nelson
for the construction company and
Messrs. Curme, Leftwich and Jessup
fer the council were present yester-
day when the grounda was staked on
pal electric light plant. 1t was ex-
pected that work would begin this
morning breaking ground, but this
will not be done now until tomorrow.
Mr.. Ascb is still here and will re-
main in charge. The company in
tend to do all the work under his
supervision so far as possible, not
contract it out. The foundations
will b. laid by Lebo, of Indianapolis,
we understand.
The plans for the power house
show a good building of brick and
stone. The coal rooms are next the
railroad tracks for the better delivery
of coal, and are 20x6S Trey are on
the east side OF the building, The
boiler rooms are next, 3SX5S feet,
with four batteries of boilers each Of
300 horse power capacity. Then
come the pump rooms and then the
engines and machinery in the north
west corner of the building. There
is one 450- horse power engine con
nected direct to the generator, which
is of 300 *. W. capacity, without
belts. The other engine is OF 900
horse power, connected to genera
tor of $50 K. W. capacity. The room
is about 60x60 At the south end of
this room space is left for the install
| ing of another engine and generator
should one ever be needed. The stack
stands to the north of the building.
For comparison it might be inter
esting to know that the boilers at
Gaar, Scott Il Co. S are 500 horse
power and the main engine is OF 800
horse power; the sma Ter one IS ot
| 25O horse power. SO the large en-
CINE at the power plant is to be OF
| fifty horse power capacity more than
| both the engines at the Gaar :, TO
say nothing of the other smaller en-
| CINE at the plant. The two together
are nearly twice the power needed to
run Gaar' factory.
| Further comparisons ares The
Light, Eeat & Power company now
| furnishing electric lights and power
in Richmond have 500 horse power
capacity in their boilers; two engines
OF $40 horse power each one penerat-
or of 90 X. W capacity; one OF - n
W. capacity, and five of 90 X. "
| a total of 49, Il. W.
The present traction company have
three 90 horse power boilers, 2oo
horsepower capacity and their gen,

| of 200 K W

/ to have two batteries of boilers OF
500 horse power each; two engines OF

rect to the two generators of 800 Il.

The new plant will have more
power in every way by about
one tenth than the new Interurbar
power plant, which Mr.. Murdock said

state: and much more power than II
takes for both the present electrical
