mercial gas can be furnished the con-
sumner at from $1.25 to $3.50 per 1000
feet. Mr.. Bigelow proposes to put one
Of these engines in here, but can not
get a delivery in less than ten
months.
In the meantime, Mr.. Bigelow pro-
poses to put in small coal engine to
help carry the load at the local plant.
The present engine is of $50 horse
power, but is frequently forced to
carry as high as 220 when the
pumps, street lamps and incandescent
lights are all on. The temporary en-
gines will be an additional expense of
several thousand dollars, but Mr.. Rob-
inson impressed on Mr.. Bigelow the
absolute necessity Of some temporary
relief.
It is probale that Mr.. Bigelow will
arrive within the next day or two from
New York to go over the local plant
to decide upon what temporary inn
are necessary.

FINANCIAL STORM IN new YORK

LEADING FINANCIERS OF COUNTRY STILL THE
TROUBLED WATERS OF WALL STREET
AND FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT.
coRTELYoU GOES AND ORDERS OUT LARGE DE-
POST OF GOVERNMENT TO RELIEVE the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NcE BEING RESUMED

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-There was a
sharp turn OF sentiment in financial
quarters late today renewed con-
findence in local banking institutions
taking the place Of the panicky feel
ing that has threatened solvent houses
and demoralized the Stock Exchange
for the past few days. Tonight those
financiers whose deliberate opinions
are most highly esteemed by the pub
lie express the conviction that the
worse is over and that out of the pres
ent chaos a condition more stable
than has existed for some time was
rapidly shaping itself
Many Of the banking men who had
labored almost day and night recently
that the integrity of New York's
financial institution might be main
tanned, went home early this evening
satisfied that suspected houses which
had been found worthy of support had
been fortified against incipient runs
or other contingencies. Serious-mind-
ed men who have met the storm in
sober mood left their Offices smiling
and chatting and with a general bear
ing that spoke volumes to those who
are accustomed to read the news of
the street in the faces Of it's big men
Several factors contributed to this
change OF feeling. First and fore
most was the determination reached
today by men of great influence in the |
financial world, and whose probity Is |
unquestioned, to restore confidence, |
insure safety and prevent panic. Con-
spicuous among these were j. Pier
pont Morgan and James Stillman,
President of the National City Bank.
the day there were con-
ferences at the Offices Of j. p. Nor

cial resources, did much to allay fear
:or the future News Of these con-
ferences quickly ran through the
financial district. allayed the fears OF
extremely nervous and certainly aided
the stock market, where this interfer-
ence brought recovery OF prices to-
ward the close OF the day, during
which new low levels had been re-
ported
Next in importance Of influence was
the presence at the subtreasury OF
Secretary Of the Treasury COrtelyou,
who not only lent the moral influence
of representative of the Government
but during the course OF the day
caused to be deposited with New
York banks large sum, said to be
$1O,000,O00. Mr.. Cortelyou received
man callers, all Of whom conferred
with him subsequently and appeared
to have been treasured.
Another potent factor in bringing
about better feeling and the I'M
doubted reason of sounder sentiment
was the ability of the Trust
Company Of America to with
stand an all day run, as it
successfully did. In the face OF enor-
nous Withdrawals, the officials of the
bank proclaimed their readiness to-
settle with all depositors on demand.
Even for few minutes after the reg
ular hour Of collection 1t continued to
pay out money at its main Office in
Wall street and at it's branches and to
certify all checks presented Then 1t
was announced that the institution
would be open as usual at 10: 80 to-
morrow morning, prepared for event
ualities. So marked was the strength
of the bank that many who withdrew
deposits early in the day again de-
posted them before the doors were
closed. The total resources Of the
company as last reported were In ex-
cess Of $70,OO0,O0O Several million
were withdrawn today but funds to
satisfy every claim said to be at hand.

is Satisfied With His Bear Hunt
And Praises Southern
Hospitality.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. "a
/ President Roosevelt reached the
White House from his Southern trip
this afternoon. His special train came
in over the Southern Railway at
o'clock exactly on time, The trip from
Lynchburg, where the last speech was
delivered, was without incident, the
President spending the time in read
ing and conversing with friends. To
those who met him at the station it
was noticeable that he had added sew
eral deeper shades to the bronze of
countenance acquired during the sum-
mer months at Oyster Bay.
The President took no pains to con-
ceal his delight at getting home, and
was markedly cordial in his greeting
to those who had gathered in the train
shed to greet him, among whom were
Gen. Oliver, Acting Secretary of War;;
Capt. Fitzhugh Lee and Capt. Key,
Military and Naval Aaides, respective
ly, to the President; Chief Wilke, OF
the Secret Service, and others. With
the greetings over, the President
stepped into his carriage and was
driven at once to the White House.
The President expressed himself as
thoroughly pleased with his trip,
II have had delightful time" he
said. Il am extremely gratified over
the fact that got bear as the result
Of my hunt, and none the less so that
l had to work twelve days to get II.
For the rest, l was touched and graft
fed beyond measure by the reception
| received in the South; indeed, ae

with Keokuk and continu-
Ing until the end Of the journey. The
entire twentyfour days have been full
Of both profit and pleasure, and am
very glad made the trip"
The President denied he has any
,ther hunting trip In contemplation,

President Roosevelt received a cor
dial welcome at the hands OF Nash
vile Monday on the occasion Of his
visit to this city and to the old home
OF Andrew Jackson. Hours before
his train arrived the streets were
thronged with people, and while the
procession passed through the spIen.
didly decorated streets, every point
OF vantage for getting a good look at
the President was taken. The side.
walks were crowded, the corners fair
~ jammed, while some occupied the
roofs Of houses, and two enterprising
individuals on Fifth avenue climbed
a telephone pole and then out on the
cable.
The procession, while not an ex-
tended one, will be remembered for
its excellent management. The rop-
ing of the streets served a good pur-
pose and the police saw to it that the
crowd stayed within the ropes
To all appearances and from his
own cordial expressions the President
was well pleased with his reception.
During much Of the ride. around the
city he stood in his carriage, bowling
and smiling. At other times he re-
sponded to some word of greeting
from the sidewalk, or waved his
hands good-humoredly 10 some group
of vociferous schoolgirls He laughed
heartily at some of the extensive dis
plays of Teddy bears. Returning from
the Hermitage on his train the Presi
dent was loud in his praise of Nash
vile and her citizenship. More than
once on the ride he expressed the in
tention of coming again to Nashville.
The street crowds were very free in
expressing their views of the visitor
after look at him. No man perhaps
has been more in the public eye than
Mr.. Roosevelt, and no one could ex-
cite greater desire to see him in the
people at large than he. Some ex-
pected to see a heavier man; others
found him looking younger than they
expected. In the eyes of the college
men his build was one for an ideal
tackle on football team, and the set
of his jaw and his sandy hair indi-
Gated that in such place he would
deliver the goods. The crowd, any
way, was pleased with the look at
him, and the committee in charge was
delighted at the success of the ar
every detail of the pro
gramme working out satisfactorily.
The Presidential party was in Nash
Vile and the vicinity fifteen minutes
beyond the schedule time, but every
minute of the short stay was put to a
rood purpose.
In a speech at Jackson's tomb, the
said of Old Hickory:
