Big Electric Power at Essex Junction.

The village of Essex Junction is to
have one of the greatest electric powers
in New England. Active preparations for
the development of the power on the Wi
nooski river early in the spring are un-
der way, and contracts will call for the
completion of the work before winter.
For years there have been two wooden
dams, less than quarter OF mile apart,
that have stored water and furnished
power for several small industries. These
two powers were sold to the Burlington
Light and Power company in 1895, but
further than making surveys nothing has
been done to increase the capacity OF the
plants. The dry season OF the past few
weeks, which incapacitated the plant OF
this company farther down the river and
at point known as the Gorge,s has has
tened the development of the new .pur-
chase. A concrete dam is to be built
about midway between the present dams.
Below the new dam the river is to be
dredged and when completed there will
be fall of about 70 feet.
There will be an immense volume OF
water, probably the largest storage BASIN
of any power plant in Vermont. The
water will set back over mile and the
river at this point will become a lake OF
considerable proportions. All the land
damages have been adjusted. The two |
present powers, purchased of three diff
-erent parties, is said to have cost the |
electric light company over 100000.
II is expected that the improvements
will cost at least $3.50, 600

Held for Stealing a Deed.

William l.. Godfrey was arrested
Friday mt West Fairlee, on warrant
issued by Justice Of the Peace William
Paul on complaint of States Attorney
March NJ Wilson of Randolph, charg-
ing him with stealing deed from the
town clerk 8 office in this town. At a
| hearing at the town haA Saturday at
ternoon, Mr.. Godfrey was bound over
to county court. Bail was fixed in .he
sum Of $1,000, which he. readily fur
nished and was released from custody.
The ease has attracted wide attention
because of the prominence of the re-
spondent and the unusual circumstances
of the case. The evidence submitted
that Mr.. Godfrey sold some real estate
that Mr.. Godfrey sold some eral estate
in West Fairlee to Mr.. Temple and that
before the deed had been recorded in
the town clerk rs Office the document
was distracted by'Mr. Godfrey while
the town clerk was attending to some
other business. That was the allega-
ton on which the CHARGE was brought.
The respondent is wealthy farmer
and has held many positions of trust |
in town.
BY the will of DR.. Francis F. Parker
of Chicopee, Mass, the residue of his
estate, which VIII amount TO ABOUT |
100000, is to be invested for five years
and then become trust fund for the
town of Springfield, Vt, where DR..
Parker was born and went to school.
The money will then be available for
the benefit of poor old men and women
residents of the town, but not tOwr
paupers, and for poor children with
deformed feet and legs who can be
cured or relieved by operation or care
full treatment, or both. A home for the
poor and unfortunate of these classes
may be built if the town SO desires:
The will explicitly asks that especial
care be taken that no unworthy person
benefit by the will. Inc fund will
nearly double, probably, before it is
available for the town. The society

Be Too Low by Presidents Of Traf.

Philadelphia, July 18.-In a state.
ment issued Friday with reference to
Inc meeting Of railroad presidents in
New York at which was discussed tho
question OF raising freight rates, Presi-
dent McCrea OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, who was present.
SAID mat the conclusion reached was
mat the time is not opportune for an
advance In all class rates in the ter
r1tory represented at the meeting. Mr..
McCrea's statement is as follows:
Ihere was no contest at the meet
ing as reported; not any unpleasant
olHerences of opinion. The subject
under consideration was so commit
Gated that there was, of course. room
for diversity in views.
Discussion Of Class Rates.
1T appears that there is some mis-
understanding in the public mind as to
the exact question under discussion.
A general advance in all rates has at
no time been contemplated, but there
mas been general feeling among
railroad officers that class rates. unon
which the high-class and miscellane-
Gus traffic is carried, were, all thing.
considered, upon too low a basis In
order to secure all the facts bearing
upon the question, traffic officers were
instructed some time ago to give the
matter most careful study. This I'm.
oertaklng was so huge that tho rail-
road executives realized that full re-
port could not be made by the traffic
of11cers short Of five or SIX months.
The purpose Of the meeting was to
receive the report of progress made
and to pass upon certain points. the
decision upon which was necessary ia
enable the traffic officers to proceed
with their work.
Conclusion Is Unanimous.
"After full consideration and ex-
change Of Views, tie Conclusion Tas
unanimous that the time was not on
perfume for an advance in all class
rates applicable to the entire terri.
tory represented at the meeting, which
embraced lines east of the Mississtppi
and north of the Ohio rivers. The traf-
tic officers, however, were requested
to further consider the advisa bility of
an increase in rates In specific cases
where the present rates are particular
~ low in comparison with other rates.
and In view Of the service performed.
The interested pnblic may feel sat-
ist1ed that the questions involved are
receiving the earnest and careful con-
s}deration that their importance de-
serves. Railroads have always recog-
n1zed, expressions to the contrary not !
withdrawing. that their prosperity
and that OF the shipping public were
dependent upon each other"
