Making valuable 1mprov.m.n,..


The Water, Light & Power COMPANY
has already begun making the exten.
sive Improvements that it has been
contemplating for some time. The
trench under the creek has been made
for the new tubular flume, which is TO
be 81 inches in diameter In the clear.
1t will be 5000 feet long made of Wash.
ington pine. When this is completed
the power will be largely increased, 60
that the company proposes to move
the old dynamo from the lower power
house to the power plant in town.
This will enable them to turn on 500
tncandescent lights from this plant in
case of emergency. Besides these val.
uable improvements a new stone pow.
or house will be built in town, 32x42t
feet in size. The pumps will be placed
in the basement, the dynamos being
upon the first floor. The floor will be
of cement, and perfectly tight, thus
preventing the vapor and dampness
from rising into the main part. The.
excavating Is now being done for, the
new tile tail.race. After the new
building is completed the surround
ings will be beautiaed BY making :
lawn and planting trees about the
building. All these improvements
will be both helpful to the service and
ornamental to the town. The COM
rlany has been giving exceptionally
dne service for some time, and when
they have the new fiume, new building
and various other improvements they
VIII have one OF thss finest electric
light and water systems in the country.
snpt Parks says the improvements
under way win cost several thonsand
dollars.

LIGHTNING SPEED.
Cable Cars Crash Into a Train
at Kansas City.
The GrIpman Loses Control of His
Motor and Is Instantly Killed
a Score or More of the Ter-
rIfed Passengers Hurt
Some Narrow Escapes.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. "a cable
train crowded with passengers
escaped from the control of the grip
man in charge at the top of the Ninth
street incline early last evening and,
dashing down at terrific speed,
crashed into a train standing at the
bottom. w. Il. Taylor, gripman on
the descending car, was instantly
killed, and "A score or more passengers
were bruised, but as most of these
were quickly taken away by their
friends, the number of the injured and
the extent of their injuries are not
known.
Among those most severely injured
are:
Francis Bishop Powers, we'll
known tenor singer of New York City,
cut and bruised.
Prof. ii. n. Richmond, of William
Jewell college, Liberty, Mo-, hurt in
ternally.
Mrs. Ola Jorndt, Kansas City, back
in jured, hurt internally; unconscious
at "A late hour.
William c. Underhill, Kansas City.
j. f. Hawk, Kansas City, leg broken
and other injuries.
The train at the bottom was being
prepared for the return trip, but had
not been switched to the second
track, when the descending train, be-
yond control came daShing down the
incline. Passengers in both trains
became panic-stricken when the inn
pending disaster was foreseen, and in
the efforts to escape from both, many
had narrow escapes from death.
The incline, which has been the
scene of several fatal accidents, is
300 yards in length, and starting at
the top of the bluff at Penn and Ninth
streets, descends at an angle of 45
degrees to an elevated platform.

NEW SCALES OF WAGES.
They VIII Give IIOre Pay TO the Flint
Glass Workers..

Pttsburg, Aug. 23.-After two
days conference between the manu-
facturers and workers in the pressed
ware department of the flint glass
trade. a horizontal advance of per
cent. to the men was agreed upon,
with the proviso that the proposition
be submitted to the several lodges
for ratification. With this there are
now before the workers propositions
for new wage scales carrying adj
vances all the way from to 10 per
cent. There remains for committee
settlement the wage scale in the stop
per department. \ conference to adj
just this will be held in Philadelphia
on Thursday of next week.
Some 900 men are directly affected
by these different scales. and with
them are concerned about 10000
others who are dependent upon the
skilled branches. 1t is believed that
the propositions which will go to the
workers practically eliminate all like
lihood of trouble in any of the flint
glass trades.

UNDER a NEW FLAG.
The Former Colombian Government
Gunboat Boyaca Now Files n Rebel
Rannar.

Panama, Colombia, Aug. 21.-The
former government gunboat Boyaca,
which left here July 80 to carry 300
soldiers to Aqua Dulce and which was
captured by the Colombian revolu-
tionists, is now at sea flying the rebel
flag. The rumorS that the Boyaca
had been sunk are therefore refuted.
Before she left here Gen. SalaZar,
governor of Panama, ordered the
commander of the Boyaca not to fire
the guns on board on account of the
bad condition of the vessel
Revolutionary reports of the cap
ture of the gunboat are that she
fought two hours before being
captured and it is believed that
some accident to her machinery or
rudder forced the commander of the
Boyaca to accept unequal battle un-
til further resistance was impossible.
The Boyaca was an old ship and her
machinery and keel were in very bad
condition. She was built in 1888 at
Wilmington, Del, for the Colombian
government.
The hopes of the conservatives of
Panama are now centered in the
steamer which Senior COncha, Colom-
bian minister at Washington, is sup
posed to have bought recently at San
Francisco. Should this vessel sail
promptly for the isthmus with good
gunners on board. it is believed by
government officials that with the re-
Inducements expected here from Bar
ranquilla, Gen. Salazar need have no
fear of an attack from the revolu-
tiOnary force.

LACK OF FUEL.
1t Is tho Only Really Serious Handle
cap TO Industry-Review of Trade.

New York, Aug. 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Fuel scarcity is still the one serious
industrial handicap. Protracted idle
ness at anthracite mines has increased
the pressure for soft coal and coke
and, despite new records for output,
deliveries are utterly inadequate ow-
ing to the lack of motive power.
This freight blockade of coke trains
has closed many furnaces, while the
increasing call for transporting facili-
ties on crop account gives little pros
pect of early relief.
Current trade is of good volume for
the season, while the outlook for the
future is bright. Buyers are numerous
in all the leading markets, placing or
ders literally at we'll sustained quota
tionS. AS the active blast furnace ca
pacity of this country decreases
through want of fuel foreign pig iron
Is purchased more freely. Domestic
needs are now far beyond all prece-
dent and even with the available
home capacity active there would be
imports, although less than are now
arriving.
Textile mills are well occupied,
business gradually increasing in the
cotton goods division, and demands
for quick delivery emphasize the fact
that stocks are low and requirements
for consumption are pressing.
Footwear shops at the east have as
surance of full operation for two
months.

Russell Sage Denounces Trusts.

New York, Aug. 22.-Russell Sage,
in an interview yesterday, referred to
a statement quoting j. Pierpont Nor
gan as saying that the era of great
trusts had just begun, and that more
gigantic corporations are stored in
the near future, some of which may
overshadow the steel trust. Mr.. Sage
said: "Whether Mr.. Morgan said
that or not, combinations of all in
dustrics are a menace to true govern
ment, Not only so, but they are op-
pressors of the people" What will
be the result of such an era?" asked
n reporter. "In such an event the
American people will revolt against
them and there will be financial ruin
the like of which this country has
never seen"

With Enthusiastic Receptions He
Proceeds.
New Haven, Conn, Aug. 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt entered upon his New
England tour yesterday and New
Haven was the first point visited by
him. The yacht Sylph, bearing the
president, was sighted off New Haven

hour later the vessel was lying along
side Belle dock, having made the run
up New Haven harbor to the accom-
paniment of salutes.
Mayor Studley and a committee OF
aldermen greeted the guest the mo-
mcnt he landed and conducted him to
the carriage in waiting. Troop A,
Connecticut national guard, consti-
tuted the military escort. At 1:25
the procession moved. The mounted
police were followed by Troop \, and
then came carriages containing the
president and his party and 90 invited
guests.
The program provided for nothing
but a drive and the progress of it
5ook the distinguished visitor through
the slums, the factory quarters and
-he center of the city. All traffic over
The line of march during the hour of
he presidents stay was suspended
md the city's factories and shops
we're closed between 1 and 2:30
o'clock. The workmen lined the win

lours before the drive began. The
'ity was gaily dressed in flags and
bunting.
Meriden, Conn, Aug. 23.-The train
bearing President Roosevelt and
party reached here at o'clock. i
salute of guns greeted the president
and all the bells in town were rung
while 10000 people lined the streets
through which the procession escort
lng the distinguished visitor passed.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 23.-The
president on his arrival at the depot
here was welcomed by committee of
representative citizens. He was taken
for drive around the city, occupy
ing, with Col. Jacob L. Greene,
handsome automobile, in charge Of
two expert New York chautfeurS. He
was enthusiastically cheered all along
the route.
In Pope park, one of the beautiful
recreation spots of the city, the presi-
dent was greeted by 10000 working
men, who presented him with a mag
nificent floral horseshoe inscribed:
"Workingmen's Welcome to Our
President"
Last night after his address at the
Coliseum the president was the guest
of Executive Secretary John T. Robin
son. The president invited Mayor
Sullivan to meet him at Mr.. Robin
sons home. The mayor is an eX-clerk

with, and he expressed a desire to-
have u personal chat with Mr.. Sulli-

WAR MANEUVERJ.
They VIII Take Place Every Year
HerenIler, on GOYernmenI Land.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The war de-
partment has ordered companies of
regulars and militia to proceed to
Fort Riley, Kan, for the purpose of
going through war maneuvers. The
governors of the various states were
invited to send detachments of mill
tia, but only Il few responded. Many
governors, however, will send officers
to witness the maneuvers
The benefits to be derived from
bringing together regiments, brigades
and divisions is so apparent that the
war department has fully deter
mined upon this policy for the future.
Many of the states have permanent
maneuyers for their national guards
during the summer months and the
result has been extremely beneficial
to all those organizations.
The regular army has had an
abundance of field service during the
past four years, but nearly all the
recent work in the Philippine Islands
has been done by small detachments,
frequently mere squads.
There will be no effort to initiate
the great maneuvers which take place
annually in Europe. The government
intends to utilize it's own reservations
for this work, whereas, in Europe,
the maneuvers practically cover
space as great as the whole of New
England. With their long experience
in these matters they have become
able to maneuver over private prop
erty under some just and equitable
arrangement for compensation, but
in America any attempt to do this
would be followed by a food of
claims for damages.
