6 TING CRIPPLED GENERATORS
INTO WORKING CONDITION.

The service OF the Falrmont and

been crippled since Saturday morning
when two OF the generators were
burned out. Since that time the COM
pany. has been bending all Of Its ener-
gles to have the crippled machinery
repaired. One generator has been put
in order and Is now In operation. The
machinists are busy getting the other
one ready for the parts that are COM
ing on by express. Some of the ma
chinery had to be ordered from Sche.
nectady, N. Y. and to see that there
were no delays in the shipment of the
needed machinery Mr.. A. 7. Watson.
the purchasing agent for the company
went to Schenectady, directed the
shipment and stayed with. It SO that
there could be no delay in getting It
here so that the plant can be brought
up 10 its normal capacity.
The company mas been able to
maintain Its traction business and to
furnish light to It's patrons but the
mines that are dependent upon 1t for
power and light have been somewhat
handicapped in their operation. The
independent mines were. able to opc.

OPENING.

MANY WOMEN ATTEND THE
EvENT5sTo WHICH THEY HAVE
LOOKED FORWARD WITH
PLEAsURABLE ANTICIPATION. I

An event OF interest to women and
which has ben looked forward to with
pleasurable anticipation since the an.
nouncement OF the date a few weeks
ago. transpired this afternoon when
the annual fall opening OF Courtney's
shop was held.
Fair, weather has prevailed during
the day despite an unpromising early
morning. and the shop has been visit.
ed by hundreds of visitors all morn
Ing and afternoon. The opening prop.
er was held this afternoon. but as
early as nine o'clock old friends and
patrons found their day to the shop
and this afternoon the place was
thronged. Omen's orchestra render.
ed an excellent programme from two
until five o'clock.
Each year the members OF the nrm
Of S. ]. Courtney and Son. endeavor
to make the opening superior to any
previous event and the general con.
sensus OF opinion to-day was that their
efforts were rewarded.
On entering the shop a vista OF
beauty greets the eye, and 1t is hard
to realize that the effect is obtained
by utilizing the regular stock Of the
shop interspersed with growing
ferns. The ledges are attractively ar
ranged with display OF ready to,
wear waists and blouses. represent
ing the best of the autumn fashions.
and in bewlldering variety Of styles,
the new slip on waists, which give
promise of becoming popular being
among the latest in the, fashions.
5 In the millinery department the dis.
play Is more attractive and varied
than ever before, wonderfully pleas.
ing models. accurately copied from
the best hats Of the most famous de-
signers. while many are designed and
made In their own work rooms. A
hospitable air OF "try on" informality
was appreciated by the visitors.
Suits, coats. gowns and frocks were
shown in bewildering profusion, splen.

their kind in the city. A handsome
new rug has been laid in the forepart

derstood that the line 10 the local fair

the passenger. traffic over the line
that is now being operated by the
company. The solution for the re.
lieving OF this congestion would be
the construction of a loop SO that the

line has been the subject Of much dis.
cusslon OF late there is no doubt that
the discussion will ripen into action.

would be a paying proposition and

The people in that vicinity are
eager for the road and d.of late the
Traction Company's Offices have had
many OF the farmers along the pro-
posed line to come inland talk the
matter over with the officials Of the
company. ~.
There has been no definite action
taken yet but things are shaping
themselves SO that an early decision
may be reached before many days.
