Danger is Past.
The two engines at the local plant

Sabled, in spite of all that could
have been done. Superintendent BogUa
states that he trusts that the danger is
over now, but there remains much TO
be done yet.
Switchboard Nearly Ready.
The switchboard changes are nearing
completion, but there is much which
cannot be done until the new turbine
is running, so that it can be depended
gines can be made. This work has
been done under the supervision of c.
S. Monroe of the General Electric
company, and the fact that all changes
have been made and are being made
without interruption to the service
speaks highly of his ability.
The old generator used on the belted
engine, which was discarded last spring,
is now being equipped as syncronous
condenser.
New Motor Generator Set.
A new motor generator set has been
installed and was started two days ago
so that the steam driven EXETER which
has caused no end of trouble in the
past can be shut down. The steam
driven EXETER will be fixed up and kept
as an emergency auxiliary.
There has been great increase in
the demands on the plant in the past
year. The power load is just about
double what it was year ago and nov

impossible to carry the day load in the
afternoon with the two ma chimes of the
old plant. A little from the Uncas
Power company is still being received
as wanted.
Not as Good as Turbine.
The old machines have done excel
lent work during the few months while
the plant was being overhau1ed and
changed, but they are not efficien:

Will Need Another.
At the present rate of growth this
machine will not take care of the day

as the increase was 100 per cent. las;
year. The appropriation for the i'm
provements made was $4,000, and

Bogue states that it is hoped there viii

which if possible with the money will

Provision has been made for another
turbine at the station. There is a Gel

ON THEIR WAY TO
THE PACIFIC COAST.
Two Rhode Island Young Men Talk
for Assistance.

Michael Pistachio and Henry Valley
of Providence, r. L., who are on their
way on a walking trip to Los Angeles,
Cal, addr sssed a small knot of hearers
on Union square Thursday evening,
giving a brief history of their PRO
posed undertaking. Pistacl1io did the
talking and Valley passed the hat. tfhe
of the trip. From all appearances. it
was losing venture to travel this
way. unless the travellers funds are
augmented by private donations.
Pistachio and his companion arrived
here from Jewett City shortly before
noon, reporting at the police station,
where they showed their letters of in
PRODUCTION to Captain Linton, and re-
ceived permission from Mayor Thayer
to speak anywhere in the city except
on Franklin square The two men have
covered about "a miles so far, starting
from Providence last Tuesday at moor.
Before they started they took a col1ec-
ton which aggregated s12.G5. They
came through Summit, Coventry and
Moosup to Jewett City, stopping Tues
day night at farm between Summit
and Coventry and for Wednesday night
lat Jewett City, at Ira Lewis hotei,
which the state police raided that
night.
The walkers have before them trip
of about 5000 miles, which PistachJo
says is not faken on bet or anythi 1g
like that, but that he expects to enter

TURBINE READY AT ELECTRIC PLANT
Used Three Hours Thursday and Will Be Started for
Entire Day This Morning Important Changes After
Much, Work-Another Turbine Expected.

After several months of steady work,
night day and Sundays. at the local
electric light plant, the changes have
been completed to such a point that
the new turbine generator, which IS
of $50 k. w. capacity, has been tried
out and found to work nicely and will
be started this morning to run through
the day On Thursday it was given
three hours tryeut After it was
started it was syhchronihed with the
other engines running. Gradually the
load was put on the turbine until It
had the total load of the station and
1t was found to run very nice There
was one drip pipe which did not work
Just right, causing the water to back
up and making it necessary to shut
down the machine. This was no fault
of the turbine, however, and plumbers
were at work Thursday night fixing
this SO that the machine will be ready
this morning.
Showed Well on fryeut.
With the rated capacity of the ma
chine $50 k. W. at 80 per cent. power
factor there was ON the machine at the
tfyout 500 Il. W., on so to IS per cent
power factor which is doing well for a
preliminary tryout.
Representing the General Electric
company. which furnished the turbine,
is Jacob BenZanger of Schenectady
who came on to get the turbine started
and in running order. The machine is
a Curtiss turbine, manufactured by the
General Electric company at Lynn. 1t
is connected to a Wheeler Engineering
and Condensing company surface, con-
denser which has an eight inch centri-
fuga1 pump driven by a 25 h. p. high
voltage motor and a vertical Edwards
air pump with an auxiliary tail pump,
the last named being for the pumping
of the condensed steam into the feed
water heater. This is a new feedwatef
heater of 1900 h. p capacity.
The centrifugal pump is connected to
a 20 inch suction line and also to a go
inch discharge line, both of which run
to the river, each being over 100 feet
long. This pump takes the water from
the river. passes it through the tubes
of the condenser and out into the river
again. The line as constructed pro-
vides for future turbine.
Taken Much Time.
For the past few months Superin-
tendent Bogue has been devoting his
entire time to the changes at the sta
ton, which have been of greater i'm
portance than the average person
imagines. 1t has been a long, hard
job, and the fact that it is nearly the
end is the cause of great relief to those
in charge. The Uncas Power company
dropped off six months earlier than
last year and there has been trying
time during the entire hot weather at
the electric plant. The Uncas Power
company has not stopped entirely, but
as much is being held in reserve there
as possible to guard against break
down at the electric station. By not
using that little which could be fur
nished, it proved an emergency supply
of electricity. Much credit is due .
superintendent Sangster of the Uneas
Power company, states Superint endent
Bogue. for he has kept his men at the
power station in Scotland continually
during this period, whether it was run
ming or not. and ready to turn it on at

HOUSE AND BARN
BURNED TO GROUND
John MaoDousail's Home at Plain Hill
Destroyed Thursday Afternoen-Ne
Water to Fight Fire-caused by De.
fective Chimney.

One of the worst fires in several
years in this vicinity occurred at 4.30
O'Clock Thursday afternoon at the foot
Of Plain Hill. near Huntington ave-
hue, destroying the dwelling house and
buildings on John MacDouga1Fs place.
There had been no fire in the stove
since IL O'Clock in the morning. In
the afternoon everyone was away. The
man employed on the place returned
after o'clock and found flames COM
ing through the roof. Smoke and
flames could be seen from Vergasot
hill and by people on the trolley and
for a long distance in other directions
Many gathered quickly and worked
hard. saving the parlor furniture, a
little from the other rooms, but moth
ing from the second floor. There was
no water in the well and none near
enough to be of use In an hour and
a half the house. the adjoining shed
and the barn were burned. When Mr..
and Mrs. MeDougall reached the place
they could do nothing but look on.
There was some insurance. It is
thought that g. defective chimney
caused the fire. Five years ago the
same house caught fire in the base
ment but the blaze was extinguished.
Last spring Mr.. and Mrs. MacDou
gall moved there. after repairing and
making improvements on the house
and place.

In the midweek change of vaudeville
a the Auditorium, three new acts were
presented which made a well chosen
and varied programme of musical and
other features, which were literally
applauded by well filed houses. The

dance that brings out the applause.
The moving pictures are full of inter-
est. each film contributing a valued
part to the generally well balanced
programme.

TO HOLD MEETING
FOR PENAL FARMS
And Plans Decided on for
Presenting a Bill to the
Legislature.

Representatives of the different CON-
mercial organizations in the state and
other organizations interested in the
proposed measure for the establish
ment of penal farms in the different
districts of the state, probably will
hold a meeting at indianapolis on
Thursday. There are a number of
questions which should be threshed
out before the matter is presented TO
the legislature and it is for this pur-
pose that tentative arrangements for
holding the meeting on Thursday have
been made
Whether or not the economy plan
Of the administration will prevent the
passage of the bill is question. Not
only is some opposition looked for on
this account but also from the state
sheriff's association, as the establish
ment of such institutions would do
away with the sheriff's in and out fees
and also prevent them having the op-
portunity of making money for board
ing prisoners.
Those in favor of the bill claim
they can show where the state would
save money by adopting the plan.
However, it is not because of the &c
onomy feature alone that the measure
is urged. The supporters of the meas.
ure say it would be great step in
the correction of evils in penal insti.
tutions.. Prisoners would be employ.
