New Machinery installed.

10 pu. suance OF an invitation Of
the Lexington Gas s. Electro Com
pany aoout fifty citizeus visited the
electric power house Monday night
to see the new $50 horse power
engine aud dynamo start. MesSrs.
Hornberger and Irwin, the designers
aud builders of the engine aud dynamo
we're present and explained the
machinery to their visitors. Monday
night only the incandescent lights
were run by the new machinery.
Tuesday night half of the arc lights
were hitched on to this machines
circuit and Wednesday night all the
lights Of the city were turned over
t. it.
1t is not to be supposed that the
work is complete by any means.
Another engine and dynamo precisely
like the present one will be Installed
as 500 as IL can be built aud the
three small dynamos aud their two
engines will be d scarded. The cool
10y tower is not quite ready for use.
But with the exception of the twin
engine and dynamo the work yet TO
be d ne IS Of minor character. The
lev closed arc lights for the streets
we're shown. These are expected to
give a stesdier light and to require
trimming only once in a week or ten
days. The day circuit will be put on
In a week or two, and when this is
done the engine will be stopped only
once per wetk'-every Sunday morning.
Every device for economizlny ex-
peuse and reducing waste is provided.
The steam is condemned, the water
cooled and run back into the boilers.
The coal is weighed before 1t goes
into the furnaces so that the amount
consumed In any day or hour may be
ascertained. 1t takes about six tons
or $50 bushels every night to light
the city.
The designers, MeSsrs. Hornbergel
and irwin, and Superintendent Bar.
nard entertained the visitors with
various demonstrations OF he capac
tiles and adaptions OF the new ma.
chinery. When the work is completed
the plant will be one Of the finest OIL
its size In Missouri.
