~ approaching complexion. III is expect
cd that the new engine will be ready
to run in about four weeks. 1t was at
first intended to have everything in rum
ming order by the first of this month but
that was made impossible owing to labor
troubles in the works Of those who had
the contract. Tho Legislature of 1902 APP
proprated 5000 for the purpose of max
ing additions to the plant. A 70 k. W. dyna-
mo in direct contact with $50 horse
power engine is now being put in place.
This is the third machine that has been
set up. The three furnish light and power
for the institution. There are other
smaller ones about the buildings, but
these three will have the bulk of the
work to do. The new switch board was
received from the factory last Friday and
will be put in place at once. The State
asylum will have, when this work is COM
pleted, one of the best equipped plants
of it's kind in the state.
MORMoNS IN VERMONT.
For the past week or more the resi-
dents of Laporte and Randolph neigh
borhoods in Morrisville have been en-
tertaining missionaries of a variety hith-
erto unknown there. Two we'll dressed,
intelligent looking young men, apparent
ly well educated and well up on parts of
the Bible and claiming Salt Lake City
as their home are holding meetings at
road and at the home of Mr. Sulham.
These young men are going about work
In very quiet manner. NO general no.
tice OF the meetings Is given out, but a
few families are invited to hear the doc
trines of Joseph Smith and Brigham
Young preached. AT each meeting they
give away Mormon literature and inform
their hearers that Mormon Bibles can be
bought very cheaply by sending to New
York city. The young men intend to stop
in that vicinity until winter.
HAD AN EXCITING TRIP.
Waldo Farrar returned to Montpelier
on Tuesday night from a short visit in
Morrisville. The usual monotony of the
trip was broken by rather extraordinary
experiences. While riding in the stage
he noticed smoke issuing firm the roof
of farm house about two miles on the
road toward Stowe. He jumped out and
succeeded with the help of the farmer
in extnguishing some burning bed
clothes. His second diversion from the
daily monotony of life took place on the
eectrics between Waterbury and Stowe.
Something in connection with the brakes
on the car became out of order and the
car did a rather rapid transit act down
the hll but managed, fortunately, to keep
the rails Mr.. Farrar sat the rest Of the
distance in his seat in the steam cars
