the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power
and Manufacturing company. Men who
have reached prominence in scientific
and engineering fields on more than
one continent look upon the Niagara
development with astonlshment. Is 1t
any wonder, then, that the use Of Nj
agara power in connection with the
Pan-American Exposition is destined
to astonish the world by what will be
accomplished by It's use?
Never before was there such a sup
ply Of electric power at the command
Of man; never before has any man
known so much about electricity as he
does today; never before has man been
able to handle the subtle current so
cleverly as he does today, and for these
reasons It is plain to be seen the eiec-
trical effects of the Pan-American Ex.
position will be SO notable that they
will give to the beholder somewhat the
same feeling of surprise that the first
white man must have had when he
viewed the falls Of Niagara. And In
the development Of these electrical eff.
fects diverted portion Of the tumultu.
GUS waters that pour over the mighty
precipice will play part.

others are each $50 feet square. The

MRS. MICK WEDs.

A marriage license was issued We'd
nesday by Judge Mcdonald to H. A.
Pennock and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Mick
both of Minerva, who expressed the
wish that the matter be kept from the
newspapers, says the Carroll Republican
Standard. Mrs. Mick and Mr.. Pen
mock have figured rafferty, prominently
in court during the past two years.
Mrs. Mick had entered suit for divorce
in the Carroll county court, and her
husband had entered suit for damages
against Pennock. whom he charged
with stealing his wifes love, but the
case never came to trial. Last month
Mr.. Mick was granted divorce in
Stark county, and at the time Judge Nc
Carly said, "The saddest part of the
matter Is that in divorcing Mr.. Mick it
makes 1t possible for this woman
Mrs. Mick-to marry the guilty partner
Mr.. Pennock--of her crimes, II she
so desires. There is no law in Ohio that
will keep the guilty one who is divorced
from marrying again. II there were
such law 1t would be godsend. So
it is plain to be seen why they wished
the granting of the marriage permit to
be kept out Of the newspapers.

In 1884 Herbert Wilson, whose home
was in an adjoining state, visited Nj
agara Falls on his wedding trip. On
leaving the hotel he took his bride to
the park, so that she might drink in the
full beauty of the great cataract. The
highest hopes Of both were realized,
and their hearts were happy. Both felt
nothing could interest them more than
that beautiful scene. Fifteen years lat
er Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson again found
themselves at the Falls. When they
were there before, there was charge
to view the Falls. Now 1t was free.
However, Mr.. Wilson's order. to the
cabman when he left the hotel was to
drive to the big power house. In the
years that had elapsed since his mar
riage Mr.. Wilson had become interest
ed in the industrial growth Of the coun-
try. He was alert to the possibilities
Of the electrical development, and on
this second trip to the Falls the thing
he wanted to look upon first was the
wonderful power station.
1t Is so with thousands. The Niagara
| power development has set the world
to thinking on this subject. From all
sections, from all countries, men travel
to Niagara to view the installation ir

mills to participate in the strike, and
this untoward development was not
without effect on the general market
London furnished a higher range of

a moderate buyer in this market. In

UNFOUNDED REPORTS.

ported as being away from the city
some days ago and whose absence ru-
mors connected with the absence from

day made a statement to correspon~

statement Norman. in substance, says:

been away from the city since my re-
turn last Tuesday week, although l
have not been around as much as

went direct to Hot Springs, Ark,

She was at Hot Springs when Louis
Wright got there, and 1 was nowhere

was many miles away. The stories
that have been circulated about us
both have been entirely wrong, and,
while l regret it on my own account,
| feel doubly worried because a wo-
man has to suffer by having her name
connected with mine in regard to mat
tiers in which neither of us are impli
Gated. The people have done her a
great wrong and l hope they will for
bear in future from spreading evil and
wrong reports, such as have been so
freely circulated around here for some
days"
Norman has a number of white
friends in the community, and is very
highly regarded here by the public
generally. He seems to feel the posi-
ton he has been placed in very keenly,
and is especially anxious TO put right
the one whose name was coupled with
his, and who, he declares, is innocent
of any wrong.
Others who are friends of both the
parties say that they were innocent
Of any wrongdolng, and a mistake has
been made by ascribing to them acts
as reported. These friends claim that
Norman left on a pleasure trip North
sometime before Tatnall sent his wife
to a sanitarium, and that they have
not seen each other since they left

there is any truth in the reports as

Local and General News of Ships
and shipping.
A letter under date of Fernandina,
Fla, Aug. IA. from two bar pilots, says:
"On the afternoon of the 18th inst, the
Norwegian bark Venita, Capt. -,
was seen ashore near st. George Island,
on the west bank of East Pass, while
in charge of Bar Pilot A. B. Porter. Mr..
Porter, who boarded her eighteen or
twenty miles out in order to take her
into port, was in charge at the time
she stranded. There was a strong
head wind and, in beating against the
same, it is said, he bore too far to
westward and met with the accident
as stated. At the time the vessel
stranded wind was about east-north,
east, and remained so all night and
until $3.50 a. m. of the 18th. During this
period the vessel experienced heavy
weather and sustained severe damage.
She was removed from the shoals by
Mr.. Jams r. Pickett, an experienced
pilot, and placed on flats in st.
Georges Sound, in order to prevent her
from sinking She has nine feet of
water in her hold" The letter further
states that older pilots had objected
to the appointment of Mr.. Porter as
pilot, and that action was brought in
the courts to prevent him from serv-
ing. They claimed that he had not
had the proper experience to qualify
him for the position, and they deemed
the action of the board as unwise and
imprudent.

hold up all paving contracts which had
been ordered and which had been ad-
vertised to be let at noon Thursday.
A few exceptions were made in short
pieces of paving. where 1t was to be
done for the sanitary effect. A mem
Der of the Council stated last night, in
a conversation, that he had signed the
call for the meeting. as he had learn
ed that II was alleged that a contrac-
tors combination had been formed.
and that one side had the advantage,
and was going to force the prices on
the other side. The Council deemed
that such an action as this was con-
trary to the safety of the taxpayers.
and had decided to stop the paving
work, rather than let 1t go through.
