NEW YORK, May 13. = Germany

CHAIR co. TO HAVE
ELECTRIC POWER
Equipment Now Being Fut in by Con
necticut River Power Co.-Third
Local Plant to Change.

Electricians employed by the Connecti-
cut River Power Co. are electrifying the
plant Of the White River Chair Co., the
latter having decided to dispense with
the use Of coal for generating power The
men came from Worcester. Mass. They
viii equip the plant on Vernon street
with eight or nine motors, which viii have
have an aggregate capacity of about go
horse power. The work of making the
change viii require two or three months.
This is the third local plant to change
from steam to electric power, the Others
being the Estey Organ Co. and the Vim
ton Paper Co. The Fort Dummer cotton
mill also has electric power, being elec-
trically equipped when it was built. The
use of electricity is said to effect large
saving over coal.

DIVER EXPLORES !
WEST ABUTMENT
Witnesses for Plaintiff in Averin Case
Tell of bowels Running East
from the Abutment.

The plaintiffs rebuttal testimony in the
case of George c. Averill of this town
against the Vermont Valley railroad was
practically completed In county court at
Newfane yesterday afternoon, and today
the railroad company is putting in its
final testimony. It is expected that the
arguments will be made tomorrow and
that the case will go to the jury tomorrow
night The case involves the boundary
line between the parties
Yesterday afternoon for the plaintiff
Mr. and Mrs Henry j Allen of Vernon
street testified that after the flood of
1869 the west abutment of the Connecti-
cut river bridge was moved west Is to 20
feet. Charles Oakes testified that there
was at the present time a row of dOwel
| pins in the foundation rock running east
| from the present abutment u to u feet
John R. Plummer said that the old Valley
mill was narrower on the west end than
on the east end. This had bearing on
the survey recently made by the plaintiff,
which was introduced showing that
certain land claimed by the railroad IS
lowned by Mr.. Averill
Adm Miller of Dummerston said he re-
Imembered the west abutment being
moved some 20 feet Charles Elliott, So,
testified relative to the location of the for
Imer John Burke house near the Valley
Emill, its location having a bearing on
other locations On cross examination he
Isaid the Valley railroad track never had
been moved C. L. Stacy testified as to
the location of the Burke house John
Wood. J. D. Bailey, F. B. Walker, H. F.
Weatherhead, Richard A Brown, Russell
H. Briggs, and Henry Allen of Canal
street remembered that the abutment had
been moved. George Hall said he remem-
bered a straight line of dowel pins east of
the present abutment r. L. Frost and
w. d. Newton also remembered the
5 dowel pins
Fl The defense is now using witnesses large
!, ly who have testified before either for the
plaintiff or defendant, among them E. G.
Frost, who employed a long time in
7 the old Valley mill, to show that the old
mill was rectangular and not narrower at
one end than at the other, and it has in
troduced photographs tending to show
that it was rectangular, the purpose being
{ to show that the plaintiffs survey started
: from the wrong point.
= A diver was at work near the west abut-
ment of the bridge this forenoon in behalf
of the railroad, and it is assumed that
e he will give some interesting testimony
this afternoon. The defense claims, how
; ever, that whether the abutment was
moved or not the fact has no material ef
9 feet on the original survey and plans
o which the defense has introduced.

ALLIES GAINING ON
GALLIPOLI PENINSULA
One Report Indicates That They Have
Entire ossession-Success for Rus

LONDON, May 13, 11.30 a. m.-Lon-
don was cheered by the publication of
dispatches from Athens recording a
decided advance of the British and
French troops along the GallipoH pen
insula. Some reports claimed the oe-
cupation of some heights, which wouiu
mean that the entire peninsula was
under control of the allies.
At two points on the western line of
operation offensive movements are un-
der way The first initiated by the
Germans is against the British, French
and Belgian forces near Ypres, while
the second is the pushing of French
troops against the Germans to the
north of Arras.
/ For the moment, however, both at
taeks would appear to have been check

their way through a series of barbed

lAustrians from three lines Of trenches
and captured 1900 prisoners, d bat

NIGHT ALARM CALLS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Small Blaze in Closet at 154 Elliot
Street - Twenty Rats Caught
There Within Short Time.

A fire which may be attributed justly to
rats and matches caused an alarm to he
sounded from box 81 on Elliot street ct
the foot of School street at 3.37 o'clock
this morning. A stream from the com
bination auto apparatus put out the fire,
which was confined to clothing in a closet
in the building at 154 Elliot street, oceu-
pied on the ground floor by Ernest Whit
uey and family.
Mrs. Whitney was aroused by the smell
of smoke and it was some minutes before
the origin could be traced. She said this
morning that nothing but clothing was in
the closet and that as 20 rats had been
caught in that closet within a short time
she believed they were responsible for the
fire.

Mrs Mary Stone, 65, was seriously
and perhaps fatally injured in Rutland
yesterday afternoon, when in crossing
at the corner of Grove and West
streets she fell directly in front of a
big touring car driven by Pascal Ro-
mano. The front wheels of the heavy
machine passed over her body, frae-
turing several ribs, breaking her col
lar bone and probably causing internal
injuries. She was removed to her home
on Pine street. Witnesses say Romano
was running slowly and that Mrs
Stone seemed bewildered as she at
tempted to cross the street.
