POWER HOUSE TROUBLES.

Up at the Power House il seems
a good way yet out Of the dark
ness which has prevailed on the
streets since the fly wheel on the
big Corliss engine went to pieces.
Messrs. Allen & Welch, who arc
good minute men, have carried
out their contract with the city
within The time limit, as far as
they can go, until the Orleans
Machinery Co. installs the ma
chinery they we're under contract
to deliver and properly install by
March 1st. Messrs. Allen &
lYeIch have laid the cement foun-
tiation for the big new engine and
dynamo, repaired the dilapidated
roof, rebuilt the broken down
brick wall on the north side, and
are now only waiting for the Or
leans Machinery Co. to appear
upon the scene and place the ma
chinery the city contracted for
over six months ago to finish up
their part Of the work.
Supt. Purser informed The
Leader representative that the
new fy wheel for the Corliss en-
CINE to replace the broken one,
was shipped from Milwaukee
Monday or Tuesday, and is ex-
pected to arrive the first of next
week. 1t is not intended, how
ever, to run the old Corliss engine
again until the new engine and the
new dynamo are installed by the
New Orleans Co., unless there is
further unreasonable delay, as
this will neeessitate the purchase
of new belt at an additional
expense of several hundred dol
lars. 1t is also the calculation not
to furnish the city any more
street lights, no matter how dark
and rainy the nights may be, until
the pokey New Orleans Go. comes
up with the ful6lment of its long
delayed contract, as the small 80
horse power engine now in use
for running the incandescent
lights can't be counted on to pull
the load for the incandescents and
the arc street lights too.
When The Leader representa-
tive visited the Power House
Thursday afternoon, the parts of
the new Atlas engine to be fur
nishcd by the Orleans Machinery
Co. were lying around on the
ground just as they have been for
the last three weeks, and no fur
ther movement had been made to
set them in place. When the new
machinery will be actually in
stalled and started to running is
evidently something yet in the
indefinite and uncertain future.

Praise for LIaeOIn's Candidates Good
Example.

There are very sensible set of
candidates in Lincoln county.
There is an overwhelming senfi-
ment in that county against the
use of money and liquor in the
primaries, and a mass meeting for
the purpose of seeing that the law
Is enforced is to be held in Brook
haven on the sixth Of this month.
The candidates met the other day
and unanimously pledged them
selves that they would use no
whisky or money in the approach
ing primary.
The candidates of Lincoln coun-
ty have indeed set a good exam
pie to those Of the other counties,
and one which should be followed.
All of us know that in past years
there has been some money and
good deal of liquor used. The
county candidates have not been
the only offenders ID this respect.
There are a certain class of voters
who have come to expect a free
jag on election day. and they are
much disappointed if they are not
SO accommodated. The primary
election law Of the State is very
strict in this respect and makes it
unlawful to use money or liquor
to further the cause OF candi-
date. Any candidate who cannot
win without the aid of mean whis-
ky and money illegally used, de-
serves to be defeated. The News
lis glad to see that Lincoln county
is leading out along this line, and
believes that its example will have
a good effect on the other counties
of the State. Jackson Evening

LAID CORNERSTONE Of WASHINGTON
CATHEDRAL

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Yesterday
was a red letter day in the history of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of
Washington. At noon, with solemn
and impressive services, the corner
stone was laid for the grand cathed-
raj to be erected on Mt. st. Adams.
The laying of the foundation stone
was followed by great open-air SER
vice, at which the Right Rev. Arthur
Foley Wilmington Ingram of London,
was the preacher. There was pres
ent also most of the bishops of the
Episcopal Church in America and
about 1000 members of the Brother
hood of st. Andrew, whose interna-
tional conference has been in session
here this week.
The proposed cathedral will be al
most as large as that of st. John the
Divine, now being erected in New
York, and larger than most Of the
cathedrals Of Europe. The accepted
design is pure decorated Gothic with
a touch of French feeling. The plans
suggest the cathedral of Canterbury
and the color will be similar to that

BAND FOR SKATING RINK.
Ireland Has Supplied Special Music
for His Amusement.

Tonight the Ireland skating rink
will be supplied with music by band
that has been formed for the occasion
by Mr.. Ireland. For the most part, 1t
will be composed of the same players
used by him last spring, and with
good, stirring music those who visit
the rink this evening will be assured
of some fine amusement.
A monster musical instrument for
use In the rink during the winter has
been purchased by Mr., Ireland. How
ever, 1t will not be here for a week
or more, and in the meantime the
band will furnish the music.
Now that the fair has closed, the
skating rink will once more furnish
one of the main features of amuse-
ment for the people of the city, and
the rink will doubtless be well patron
lied.

dish stone having been decided upon.
The dimensions indicate almost
perfect proportions. The total
length will be ATS feet, the total
width 1872 feet, the height to the ridge
line of the roof 100 feet, and from
the pavement to the internal apex Of
the vaulting SO feet. The central
tower will rise 22O feet from the
ground.
The plans contemplate naves,
aisles, transepts, choir and two chap
els. Double aisles are planned foe
the nave, which may be used for me-
mortal windows monuments and tab
lets. The interior will be vaulted
in stone of the same color as that of
the exterior and the windows have
been arranged so as to concentrate
flood of light with striking effect
upon the altar in the sanctuary.
1t is proposed to build a large hall
of Gothic architecture in harmony
with the cathedral for church meet
ings, conventions and similar gather
ings and for the offices of the do
cese. This, however will not be un-
dertaken until the cathedral is well
along.
