FREDERICKSBURG'S DESTINY

The big dam in the Rappahannocr
river lust above Fredericksburg, and
the immense power II is going 10
create, is going TO be G big thing
In an Industrial way for the good
old town. The big powerhouse be
ing built at a cost of 100000 VIII
be completed by the first OF Septem-
Der. and then electricity will be gem
Grated TO run all kinds of machinery
OF course. much of this power is go
ing to be used by the Gould road
that Is going to be extended from
Ashland through Fredericksburg and
on to Washington, but there will be
enough left to run many mills OF
various kinds and there is no better
place In all the State for mills ana
factories than Fredericksburg. The
success OF those already there Is
proof of this fact Old Fredericks-
burg is destined to be kind of Vir-
ginia Lowell, or something better
.-Richmend Times-Dispateh.
The above from the industrial col
umns of our neighbor, The Times
Dispatch, which has had some mighty
nice things to say about Fredericks1
burg lately, is very encouraging.
The Gould interests have here what
is admitted to be the finest water
power in the State and they have OBJ
tanned a liberal franchise from the
city. along with certain other rights
and privileges. This great power,
we are informed. will be both gener-
ated and partly used here for the In
dustrial development of the tow
and also transported to other point
AS the power owners intend to max
use of a good portion of their tr'
mendous supply in helping the /
dustrial development of this town
should be safe bet that the town will
move forward IN n uncertain man
ner and it will be a great thing witt
which to advertise.

ANDREW CARNEGIE
 CALLED AS WITNESS

New York, April 25.-Andrew Carnegie testified today before the grand jury as to his relations with the defunct Car negie Trust company. which adopted his name, but with which he has had no connection aside from financial assistance given when the institution found itself in difficulties and appealed to him.
 In the collapse of the institution it is said that vast sums of money which MT. Carnegie loaned it have been tied up and
 it is believed that during the hour and ten minutes he was before the grand jury he related some details of these loans and was asked to what extent he had promised further aid. He was ques- 1, tioned in connection with the printed, but unconfirmed statements that state banking department officials had hes- tated to close the Trust company when they first learned of the impairment of capital and because of an alleged un- derstanding that MT. Carnegie would see the institution safely through, as mat ter of personal sentiment. It is under stood that MT Carnegie contradicted ru- mors that he had made such promises. Counsel for Joseph G. Robin, who stands self-convicted of grand lareenies, which started the failure of the string of banks, including the Carnegie Trust company, was in consultation with Dis trict Attorney Whitman today seeking clemency for Robin, who is to appear for sentence Thursday.
