The dynamo of the Belmont Elec-
trio Light and Power Company had
gone wrong again. or else the cir
cult had. The very voice OF the ma
chine told the trouble. for it emitted
a hang and irregular 1arring sound
with violent sparkling. instead OF the
usual qeep-toned mum. and testing
presently revealed the fact that there
was a heavy grounding Of current

short cut saved not only three miles
OF wire but also many poles; for in
the hemlock swamp. which IL crossed
some trees AT intervals were stripped
OF their limbs and made to do d,,ty
as wire bearers. Arthur Maralle and
his brother. Lewis, who constituted
Belmont Electric Light and Power
Company. viewed the result OF the
test with extreme disgust The line
OF Wight was always getting out OF
ORDER and there was penalty of
$50 for every night the lights failed
to burn. They could not afford
penalties. for they had taken the con-
tract for lighting the two towns with
very INSULT Gent capital and very
rlckety machinery. and monthly bills
for coal and supplies were alarming
