Clemson College Letter.

Mr.. Editor:-Clemson's new
power plant is almost completed.
About a year ago, the Board of
trustees, after carefully consid
ering the present and probable
future needs, appropriated $25,
600 for building the new station.
The building is a single story
structure of granite faced cement
blocks, backed with selected red
brick laid in red cement mortar,
with finished joints. The plant
is fitted up with the best and
most modern machinery Be-
sides meeting the complex re-
quirements of technical college,
the plant will offer special op
portunities for instruction to
Clemson's engineering students.
In its completed state, this plant
will probably be the most uni
que and np-to-date in the South.

YOUNG BOY ADMITS
WICKED ACTIONS
Says He Placed Ties on Track Of the Rut-
land Railroad. Is Held Under Bail
Of $1,000 For Trial.

Rutland, July 20.--Hugh Keefe, son
Of Alexander NJ keefe Of this city, has
confessed to placing the ties on the
tracks Of the Rutland railroad at South
Shaftsbury in an attempt to wreck the
Rutland railroad flyer last Tuesday af-
terneoH.
The boy, who is only 12 years Of age,
had been visiting his grandparents at
SALISBURY for the past three weeks.
He was arrested yesterday by special Of
ficer John w Brislin OF this city and
taken TO Bennington, whore he was plac-
ed under $1,000 bonds until Thursday,
when his case will be heard before Judge
/. l.. Bates of that place.
Too many "dime novels is given as
the cause for the rash act OF the boy.
When arrested he first denied having
anything to do with the affair, but later
when Brislin promised not to tell his
father he told the whole story. He said
he had read in novel just how the train
wrecllers ditehed the cars and he wished
to try it. lie placed three Of the sticks
across the rails and then put one across
the tree and at right angles to them, the
end toward the direction from which the
train was expected, touching the ground
so that when the pilot struck ii the en-
gine would slide mp onto the pile.
After doing this he hid In the bushes
and waited 10 see what happened. When
he saw the men on a freight train re-
move the ties he went back and replaced
them. He then went home, as he said he
did not want TO see anyone killed.

New York, July 20.--Coney leland, the

Vermont Base Ball League on
Last Legs
BURLINGTON DROPPED OUT
Leaves But Barre Montpelier and Platts-
burg, Who Will Probably Give
Up the Struggle After Tomor-
rows Game.

Local base ball followers probably
saw their last league game Saturday,
when Barre Montpelier trounced Bur-
lington, as the latter team disbanded
after the game, leaving only the Twins
and plattsburg to look mournfulfy over
the remains Of three leagues In one SUM
mer. The patronage Of the games In
Burlington was so slim that the man
ayers there did not feel warranted in
keeping the team together any longer,
and several Of the players have already
hiked to other quarters, Manager Tom
Hayes to New London in the Connecti-
cut league, Collins and Gardner to the
Maine state league and Collision to Con.
neeticut.
Barre Montpelier went to Plattsburg
last night and viii play two games
there, one this Afternoon and the other
tomorrow, after which it il likely that
funeral service win be held and the
players disperse to their homes, Being
far in the lead, Barre Montpelier can
thus claim three Championships all in
one season, that Of the ill-starred orig
inal New Hampshire state league, again
over the reyamped organization under
the same name and finally over this
Vermont league
Thus successful on the diamond, the
local management has not been so roll
| ing in wealth ais to find themselves even
with the world at the present time.
They had hoped that by finishing the
seasons schedule they might be able
to land on their feet b. September I,
but the flunking of Burlington Saturday
night, following O similar action BY
Rutland week ago, has left them In
the hole, as it win not be possible to
continue the league.
There have been several things con-
/ tributing to the failure of base ball this
year, for it has been nothing else but
complete failure from the financial
standpoint. Among them Is the lack Of
interest displayed in games played at
the start of the season with such cities
az Manchester, Concord, Laconia. Frank
lin and other New Hampshire cities.
Ihexe was really nothing in common be-
tween the teams and consequently nnth-
ing to draw out the crowe.
Then the weather man did his best
to give knockout at the start Of the
race and succeeded so well that the local
management was thrown into the hole
at the outset and since then it has not
been able to climb out. 1t might be
stated, too, that the season was too
long for the Vermont appetite. Com
| rnenping early in Nav and running
through into September is too long a
bite for local base ball people. Pecu-
iarIy local conditions prevailed in other
cities Of the circuit, which caused the
league to be a failure and thus threw
the wet blanket over the aspirations Of
Barre Montpelier
It is not possible 70 state the exact
amount of debts owed by the local iSan-
agement, but it is probably in the vi
cinity Of 81 500.
