ELECTRIC LIGHT
PLANT BURNED
Fire Started in Boiler Rooms
"A Bad Loss to the City.

The electric light, ice and power
plant, valued at $4,000 was destroy
ed by fire here this morning. The
fire started in the boiler room and be-
ing just few minutes before seven
o'clock, the blowing Of whistles Of
switch engines and the fire alarm
were generally thought to be the 7
o'iock whistle, and it was some min
utes before the fire department re-
ceiyed the alarm, and before they
reached the building 1t was a roaring
furnace. The pressure was also low
and the streams Of water had very
little effect at first and IL was hard to
get the water to the fire, however
when two currents were thrown on
with direct pressure behind them tile
firemen soon wiped out fire that
seemed sure to have gotten beyond
control.
Tie building is not totally destroy
ed bit practically SO, and the damage
TO the machinery cannot be estimated
at this time, A. G. Hall and Ed Mil
Ter were working in the building at
the time, but when they discovered
tile fire they were unable to reach
the whistle They do not know
how the fire originated Tie des-
truction Of the light and ice plant is
bad loss to the city most especially
just at this time. The company has
a proposition before the city council
to furnish light for a certain number
of years, but for some reason the mat
ter has been delayed.
Manager Lahman when asked If the
plant would be rebuilt, said he could
not say az tiils time. Certain it is
that the town will be without light
for some mouths. There was an in
surance OF s12,5O0 on building and
machinery.
Mr.. Lahman informs us that the
large dynamos are probably ruined
but he cannot say to what extent the
machinery is damaged. He thinks
the company will rebuild but win not
give out defnate information until
the stockholders meet.

than tunnel OF the London & south

murder OF Frederick /. Gold by Percy
Lefroy, alias Mapleton, occurred June
2T, 1881, has again been the scene OF a
mysterious tragedy, the details Of

edly similar to that Of a quarter Of a
century ago.

was horribly mutulated. A long veil
was tightly wedged in her mouth and
the police are confident that the wo-
man was murdered in a compartment
Of a train on which she was travelling,
and that her body was. thrown from
the car.

delay in transit OF the vessels owing
TO additional locks would be OF small
consequence when compared with
shortening the time for the eonstruc

risks In It's construction.

ment on All the various questions 20

various plans for a comparatively high
