The first instance in Europe of the
use of a submarine cable for the trans
portation of high voltage electric pow
er current will be in connection with
the project for supplying practically
all of Denmark With cheap electricity
for both light an power, generated Nv
waterpower in Sweden. When corr,

an area of 500 square miles will be
brought across three high-pressure
cables laid under "the sound" at the
entrance of the Baltic sea. The cleo
tlicity is to be generated with power
from the Swedish river Lagan, supple

some time he showed a reversal OF

May Abanoo Seal Hunting,

Unless some Ian can be devised
within a month whereby the skins and

Newfoundland for many years, will be
abandoned for the coming season. Be-
cause of industrial depression and the

Passer-by Discovers Midnight Fire In
 Pagano Store.

late passer-by saved the store of F. Pagano at the corner of Jack son Place and Jackson street from a serious fire loss about midnight Sat urday night and although an excited resident of the vicinity rang in the alarm, the services of the department which responded promptly, were not needed.
 Fire was noticed back of a counter. and the home-going young man ran in, and found the floor and some boxes in the rear of the counter ablaze. There was a man in the store at the time, but he could give no in formation as to where water could be found. so the stranger seized a large glass container of orangade and used it to good effect Later water was cast on the rest of the blaze and 1t was extinguished. The smoke filled the place, and did some damage. After the fire an extinguisher was found in the store. Why it had not been used seems strange. as the door was not locked when the young man first went

SECURE SHOE FACTORY.
Boston Company to Manufacture La dies Waists in Building on Trues- dell Stheet.

Officers of the Eclipse Manufaetur- ing company of Boston and Philadel- phia manufacturers of ladies waists were in Putnam Friday and before they left the city had made a deposit and received a bond for a deed of the w. S. Johnson & Company shoe fac tory on TruesdeH street. The mat ter of purchasing this property had been under consideration for some time but a deadlock had been reached and it was thought that the deal was off When this was decided the officials of the company got figures for the erec- tion of building on the site formerly occupied by the Pine Tree WOrsted company, the building to be completed within SO days. The matter was dis Cussed between the company officials in Boston and they came here ready to put the plan into effect and award the contract. At the last minute an agreement was reached between the son and an agreement made by which the building on Truesdell street is to be transferred to the company by July 18th. This will admit of the com- pany getting started by the first Of August, although it will not begin to run full at that time.
 The Johnson building is a two and a half story wooden structure standing by itself so that there are windows on all sides which makes it light and airy. It is fitted with steam power with en- zine and boiler room. The shoe ma Chinery will be removed very shortly. The shop has not been running for nearly a year. The new company will probably start with 70 hands and will increase this number to 150 or more. Skilled employees will be brought here

STRUCK WITH IRON PIPE.
James Paris Has Two Wounds On
 Head-George KowstaIes Arrested.

James Paris at one time a part owner of the fruit and confectionery business in the Dexter building on Main street was struck on the head with a piece of iron and his scalp opened Sunday morning, while he was in the store talking over business matters with two of the men now op- erating the store.
 Just what the nature of the conVer- sation was has not been told to the dear public, but Paris afterwards claimed that he was peacefully talking with one partner when the other one came up behind him and swung the pipe over his head. Paris was felIed to the floor, but not knocked uncon- scious.
 Persons on the street first became cognizant of the trouble when Paris, covered with blood and holding a handkerchief over his head, emerged from an alley from the rear of the store into Center street, down which street he hurried as rapidly as possi- ble, a friend of his coming along af- terward with Paris hat. A crowd quickly gathered, but there was no further trouble.
 Paris went to the office of Dr. George M. Burroughs to have his wounds dressed for there were two though he was only struck one blow with the pipe. One cut was long clean clean and the other a jagged one. Dr. burroughs took four stitches in clos ing the wounds.
 George Koustales. who is charged with the assault, was later arrested, and will be presented in cour today.
