MACHINERY STARTS UP KILLED 8 COLORED MEN
New Equipment to Electric Light
Plant Being Tested.
1000 HORSE POWER ENGINE
New 500 kiiowat Generator, Heater,
Condenser and Switch Board In
stalled at Plant.

The new machinery installed at the
electric light plant was started M
yesterday and will continue to be run
unloaded for several days yet in order
to dry out the new dynamo. Superin
tendent Shoemaker expects to starr
up with full load by next Thursday
The machinery is all found to work
smoothly and, SO far, very satisfactor
lily.
Mr. + A. Miller, a representative
Of the Atlas Engine Works, Indanapo
lis, Ind, had charge Of installing and
starting the ponderous 1000 horse
power engine. He has been here for
, three weeks and will leave for home
next Tuesday
Besides the Alta" engine there
have been added to the equipment OF
the pant two new 500 horsepower
water tube boilers, new heater, new
condenser and a 500 kilowatt genera
tor. Extensions have also been made
to the buildings and some new cement
flooring laid and a new smokestack
erected as described before herein.
The new generator has 5000 light
capacity Of 16 candle-power. It was
installed By Mr. Frank Duffeck. a
representative of the Warren Electric
Mfg Co, Sandusky, o. He has been
here nearly two months and will leave
for Sandusky next week.
BY vastly increasing the capacity
of the plant necessitated the extend
ing of the switchboard from 10 to 80
feet in length. The board has been
equipped with all the latest types Of
switches and instruments and is one
of the finest in West Virginia. This
work was also done by Mr.. Duffeck.
When in full running order, which
will be in a few days, the plant will
have a capacity of 1850 horsepower,
the preset old or steam plant being of
$50 horsepower As will be perceived
the capacity of the electric light plant
has been nearly trebled, so that in the
future there will be no lack Of light
or power.

BOLD THIEVES ROB STORE.
Break Glass in Show Window anc
Steal Max Kirson's Shoes.

Thieves broke piece of glass out
of the lower corner of Clothier Max
Kirsons show window last night aud
stole two pairs of shoes, valued at
So.
BY the chisel marks on the window
frame higher up, it is supposed that
the thieves intended to break big
ger hole in the glass so as to enab' e
them to enter the window and take a
couple of overccats that were display
ed there.
The robbery was certainly a bold
one in view OF the fact that the store
in the Wilen building is not more
than a hundred feet from the bright
arc light at the intersection OF Queen
and Martin streets. But as the night
was a very cold one it is quite likely
that the streets We're deserted at the

time for thieves to get in their work

| average man to live up to his ideals.
1t may seem strange to advocate at
the beginning OF the twentieth cen
tury that one must have ideals SO that
he may live rightly. Yet all that has
made the world better in the past, and
whatever OF hope there IS for the fu-
ture is conferred upon the inspiration
10 be bad from the examples of those
who have had ideals and tried to live
up to them.
Practical in every way may this age
be, wholly engrossed with the bust
ness of making money, yet, less now
than ever, can the individual afford
to disregard his obligation to himself
If he would gain what have been 50
aptly called the durable satisfaction
of life. To think vel OF ones self;
to know that whatever Of love and re-
spect those who know you best have
for you is founded upon fact and not
upon false hood; to feel that even if
your neighbor knew yen as you do
yourself he would yet revere and hon
or you are things not lightly to be
cast aside.
OF one who has departed, and we
would praise him much, we say His
life is even as an open book" So let
us live that our lives may be open to
ourselves. that we may look into our
own souls and fee no blush of shame
because of what we there may see.
Thus shall we best fulfil the Divine
purpose, and thus we snail best ex-
emplify the teachings Of our brother
hood. This day has a peculiar and
solemn significance to us. Chosen ana
set apart from all the year as a time
when all Elks shall formally and
solemnly commemorate the virtues or
those brothers who have departed
from among us, it should especially
and particularly appeal to our better
natures and cause us to consecrate
ourselves to the cultivation of those
traits Of character which will make
us beloved of our fellows while we
shall live, and better prepare us to
meet the dread messenger who shall
make known to us what lies beyond
that vale impenetrable to mortal eyes.

FAIR IN COURT HANDS
JUDGE SIGNS DECREE AND WILL
NAME RECEIVERS.
Some States Want to Take Over the
Land on Which Their Buildings
Stand But Can't Get Title.

Norfolk Va, Dec. 5.-The James
town Exposition Co. late yesterday
afternoon passed into the hands of
the United States District court, when
Judge Edmund Waddir signed re-
ceivership decree for it. The court
will announce the name OF the re-
ceivers Friday.
Among the sweeping petition in the
bill filed by Lawyer Wilcox was one
for an accounting for all moneys re-
ceived and disbursements of the xpo-
ston company. The exposition COM
pany is in an awkward position with
reference to states which constructed
buildings on the grounds. When the
state buildings were erected the state
exposition commissioners were given
options on the land which they occu-
pied. Now most of the states want TO
take over the land, but find that they
cannot get title to 1t, as they were not
recorded, and now mechanics liens
and judgments against the exposition
antedate them, and It Is also probable
will attach the buildings themselves.

gineer j. w Edwards OF 1928, the

Coroner Kline says that the jury
reasoned out the situation from the
testimony as il was given them.
Engineer Edwards Of 1928 testified
that he had a very heavy train, "A
loads, and that in descending the
grade west Of Shenandoah Junction
his air brakes failed to work at the
critical moment and that he could not
avoid running into the rear end OF
the freight train ahead Of him.
1t was testified that Conductor Hill

Powell, was there with him when the
other engine struck them The cor
oner said the jurors thought the flag
man should have been behind his
train attending his duties and in a
position to flag the other freight train
before It eollided with the one in the
siding.
Although it was testified that the
nagman had placed torredoes on the
track, the jurors appeared to believe
the additional warning should have
been given Engineer Edwards and
that Conductor Hill should have in
sisted upon his attending these duties.
They also thought that Engineer Ed
wards should have applied his brakes
quicker, owing to the fact that he was
told by his fireman that there was a
freight in the siding in front of him
and the fact that the torpedoes acted
as a signal None of the railroad
