 Erect Power House.
 Judge Warner of Woodbury opened negotiations to-day for the purchase of tract of land on the line of his proposed electric railroad between Waterbury and Woodbury, on which to erect a power house. The tract he has in view embraces deep stream and his idea is to utilize the water to generate power for his cars or auto- mobiles. Judge Warner has ap- peared so much in the light of joker in connection with this proposed and much discussed electric road that it is not easy to take him seriously now. Nevertheless, he seems to mean busi- ness in this latest phase of the project4 The other party to the negotiations regarding the purchase of the tract of land is a we'll known attorney and the latter has some of the judges money for an option on the property in ques~ ton. Further, if not the final deyel- opments are expected to take place by next Wednesday. ~i

Chicago, Sept. 19.-One feature alb

the silencing of the telegraph. Never

''This is neither the time nor place

New York, Sept 19-All business
except work of necessity was suspend

contrast to ordinary holiday custom
here, all sporting events scheduled for

company's cables and land lines in

Washington. Sept. 19.-Twenty
years after the death of Garfield, the
nations capital was again mourning;
the wheels of government were lock-
ed and the voices Of the people were
uplifted in prayer for the soul of VIM.
Mckinley, while his mortal remains
were being committed to the tomb in
his Ohio home. There was no need
of proclamation to insure a proper
observance of the sad event.
Everywhere were to be seen badges
of mourning, and on every flagstaff
the ensign was at half mast. Private
and public business was absolutely
suspended and peoples faces showed
signs of sadness. The city gave evi-
dence in the most impressive manner
that it's heart was with Canton in
the solemn hour OF President McKin-
ley's funeral.
At exactly 2:30 o'clock 1:30 in Can
tom the city ceased from labor, prac-
tically from locomotion, for five min
utes. There was no official proclama-
ton requiring such observance of the
funeral hour, nor had there been any
general agreement. But when the
hour came as it by common instinct
men, women and children, white and

Or stood as still as statues wherever

purtenances of business throughout
the capitol were, for the time, noise
less and the entire city was as quiet
as a prayer at midnight. 1t was a
beautiful contribution to the nation s
breath of prayer, and it is safe to say
that Washington. never before in it's
history, beheld so unique and strik-

ventional token Of respect and love

REPORTED LAKE DISASTER.
Steamer Founders in Gale on Lake
Superior.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 10
News of the probable loss of the West
ern Transit steamer Hudson, with a
crew of 25 men, on Lake Superior
last Monday was brought by the
steamer Nicol, which reached here
from Duluth early today. According
to the report of Captain Mclean of
the Nicol, the Hudson left Duluth for
Buffalo some time after the Nicol and
passed the latter Sunday night. Mon
day morning the Nicol came up to the
Hudson again about eight miles west
of Eagle river. The Hudson was in q
bad way with decks washed in q
furious gale and pumps hard working.
McLeain said he had all he could do
to save his vessel and could not rem
der assistance. When he arrived in
port he supposed the steamer Gil
christ had rescued the Hudson's crew.
When he heard such was not the case
he said there was no possible hope
for the foundered ship. The Hudson
was valued at 100000 and carried q
full cargo Of -four, grain and east
bound merchandise, worth 100000.

st. Louis, Sept. 19.-In obedience
to the general desire to show respect
to VIM. Mckinley ST. Louis was per-
fectly quiet for five minutes this af-
ternoon. At 2 o'clock all river traffic
every street car in the city, every
wheel on all railroads terminating in
st. Louis, and all business pursuits
stopped for that length of time. Po-
lice arrested their patrol as the bells
began to toll, and stood hat in hand
with bowed heads until the time al
loted had passed. The most signifi-
cant spectacle was that witnessed at
the corner of Broadway and Olive
streets, where by common consent
several thousand persons had assem-
bled. AS the cars stopped and the
hour of o'clock was announced every
one in that crowd stood uncovered
and solemn. Other similar groups
met here and there on the streets,
some testifying to respect for the de-
parted by silently contemplating pic
lures of the president, in evidence
everywhere, or singing his favorite
hymns.

in honor of the memory of President
Mckinley today. 1t was not Of her
own violation that she was present at
the demonstration of sorrow and the
course that she followed during the
services appeared to show lack of
sympathy with the spirit of the oc-

Miss Goldman was present were held
in the woman's ward of the county
Jail. Rev. E. A. Larabee of the
Church of Ascension, conducted the
services and 200 prisoners participat-
ed in them Many of the prisoners
manifested great grief as the ser
vices proceeded
Miss Goldman alone remained un-
moved. When the hymn Nearer Ny
God to Thee was sung by the pris-
oners, the woman whom Czolgosz
claims as his teacher, turned her
back upon the preacher and the per-
sons who Joined in the singing and
seemed intent upon perusing the
pages of a book which she carried
with her and continually read.
