From a busl- ness standpoint such move should appeal to the power companies, since a restriction upon the production of pow CT increases the market value of that already developed,
 The largest power company is that composed of the Ontario Power Com pany and the Ontario Transmission company plants. Their development and distributing stations are situated upon the Canadian side and the cons pany received its charter and rights directly from the Canadian Parliament for which rights it annually pays a sum to the Canadian government, The latter government, through it's Park Commissioners, has stipulated as to the architectural plans under which the plants were built with the purpose, which has been accomplished of pre- serving the Park effect and scenic beauties. surrounding the Falls,
 It's contrast in this respect to the American side is very marked, The Ontario plants are the best known of the various developments at the Falls principally because their current is be- ing distributed to the state of New York.

but of the two well-known California transmissions neither will equal the wonders of this new Niagara line, the present destination of which is Syra- cuse, a city 157 miles eastward from Niagara Falls, N. r., and fully four miles further from the power house in the gorge up close by the Horseshoe Fall.
 And this power station that is to SUD- ply the current for this new transmits sion is a strange creation of mans in- genuity. It is built of concrete, low but massive. and to make a site for it the debris slope of the famous old Mi agara cliff, was broken away too close, very close, to where the tulnbling wa ters of the world-famed Horseshoe plunge. This power-house is the clos est building to the falls, and nearly all the time it's exterior is kissed by the Wind-driven spray from the spectacle thousands want preserved to future generations. The present installation of the power-house consists of three units of 10000 horse-powe each, and one unit of 12,5O0 horse power, but the contemplated installation for this sec- tion of the power house is 60,0O0 horse- power. When this installation has been made, two additional sections of 60,000 horsepower each are to be erect- ed, according to the company's plans.

H. Ginsberg's Confectionery Wagon
 Meets With Catastrophe.
 While crossing the trolley car tracks in State street between Humphrey and Bishop streets about six o'clock last evening, to drive into his stable and put up his confectionery wagon, H. Ginsberg, the proprietor of a oonfec- 4ionery story at 7-11 Humphrey Square, met with a peculiar accident. A wheel of his wagon caught in the track and the wagon was upset, the top coming completely off the trucks. MT.

 To add to his misfortune the horse escaped and broke into a run out State street, up Edwards ond out Nicoll to- wards East Rock. The owner pursued, but the animal had a good lead.

In view of the public sentiment fla vorlng the preservation of Niagara talls, and the agitation in this direc- tion, some authentic facts in contrast With some of the wild statements in re- gard to the situation will prove of in- rerest.

It therefore appears that if rights are limited ito these companies, and the charters of other companies which have not qualified, are revoked, no great damage will be done to the Falls.

York Evening Sun of February 26 had the following:
 Niagara Falls, Feb. 24.-Up near the western border of New York State an army is being placed in line, and it is marching eastward toward New York city, It is an army, in numbers, oE steel towers and wooden frames, and they are designed to carry aluminium cables for transmitting electric power from a power house at the waters edge in the gorge on the Canadian side ot the river, right through New York State to assist in the up-building of industry and for the operation of elec- trie railways, the system of which may ultimately extend right across the state from Niagara to New York.
 It is a marvellous work-this trans mission line construction, and when it is completed the line of towers and great stretches of white cables will be the most wonderful creation of the kind man ever has attempted.

S~use AAASer on Iaking His Seat Was
 Informed That Overtures Toward n
 Settlement Were Being Made and
 Called Recess-Facts of the Case
 Briefly Told.
 The Whiting will case was settled yesterday after fight between the two sons, Howard E. and Leroy E. Whi- ting, that had consumed nearly three we eks before Judge John M, Thayer and a jury of the Superior court. The settlement came as a great shock to the spiritualistic friends of the de- ceased, who had gathered in the court room at ten o'clock anticipating that the litigation would continue until either the will of Edwin R. Whiting was either broken or sustained. Few wills are broken in the Superior court. Those that are are generally preceded by a bitter wrangle. The counsel of both sides, Attorneys J. P. Goodhart and Prentice W. Chase for Leroy E. Whiting, and ex-Judge Blydenburgh and Earliss P. Arvine for Howard E. Whiting, met pust before court opened.
 Upon Judge Thayer assuming his seat on the bench he was informed that overtures looking to settlement had been made, and that the question of de- finitely deciding the matter was now under discussion. Upon the strength Of this his honor ordered 8 recess, and during this recess of an hour there was buzzing of the central figures ana the witnesses in a case that gave every evidence of becoming cause aelebre in the legal annals of the coun- ty, The consultation was held in a room adjoining that of the office of Su- perior Court Clerk E. A. Anketell.
 The facts in the Whiting case are as follows: MT. Whiting gave in his will about $4,O00 more in value ito his son Howard Whiting than he did to his son Le Roy Whiting. He also gave property to the value of about $S,50o to Howard Writings children so that Howard Writings family had by the will about $75QO more than Le Roy Whiting.
 The case was tried in the Probate court and the Court of Probate ap- proved the will after a long trial From that decree Le Roy Whiting ap- pealed to the Superior court, The case was yesterday morning settled by an agreement that Lea Roy Whiting's counsel fees to the amount of $2e50 should be paid from the estate. The counsel fees for the other side will be paid from the estate, as the counsel were employed by the administrator
 Onezhalf of sLe -Roy's counsel fees will of course come out of his own ! share of the estate.G He gains therefore. by the settlement @,325 As4AsAn
