A ‘ ~ llse niness W South llormth Mnnioloai Electri- eal l’lant Has to Anniversary Business Has Increased To live Times Its tlrioinal Canaoitn Board ill Commissioners dud Cm: plouees Ill The Works The South Norwalk Municipal Elec- tric Lighting plant completed ten years of usefulness Monday. The event was marked by no celebration or anything of that character, but the officials of the plant thought of the changes that had been made slncc.its opening to the present time and were satisfied. The men who furnish elec- tric light and power for the city of South Norwalk are not in the habit of booming themselves and their plant or keeping it continually before. the eyes of the people, but they have a habit of "sawing wood" and this they do very persistently, too. The changes that have come about in the past ten years can be summed up thus: The plant has been enlarg- ed to five times its original capacity and now has more customers than it can supply with light or power. The first six years the plant only engaged in street lighting; the past four years It has furnished power for commercial purposes. starting with six cristomers; now it has nearly 250 customers for commercial lighting alone. Although the plant. was started with all the new and up-todatc appliances then in vogue tubes kept up this idea and is fully equipped at the present time with all the most modern appli~ HDCQ‘S. “Everything is new and up to date." said Superintendent Albert E. Viln- chestcr. yesterday, "with the exception of the new are lighting system and this we hope to have voted at the upccial city meeting to be held Octo~ her 27. One of the lamps used in this new system is at present. located at the corner of South Main and Monroe streets and Is working very satisfac- torily." At its inception the municipal plant had a Board of Commissioners com» posed of three Inert. with only three men at the station. So great have been the demands for light. and power that. although It was not necessary to enlarge the Board of Commissioners. the working force of the plant. has been increased until it now numbers seven men. The entire list including offi- t‘ll\ls and employees of the plant. is as follows: Board of Commissioners. Joseph A. Volk. president: Charles N. Smith. secretary; Imslie Smith. treas- urer: Albert E. Winchester, manager and superintendent; chief engineer, William H. Moshcr; second ciiglnccr. .I. W. Drew; Inspector In charge of lilies and outside work, W. H. Rood: lineman. W. H. Hawks; trimmer, F.

FROM ALL” PARTS or THE wonLoVov A Income. wrnz AND oun .OWN OPERATOR; Coal Strike“ ls_‘__§ettled Reported That Minion Operations Man he liesumed llext Mention President Mitchell To ht Cone Issue Call for Convention liens Received 'llllith Pleasure Throughout The Country WILKES-BARRE, October'lG—«Tho news from Washington early this mor- ning that both parties to the contro- vcrsy in the anthracite coal strike had reached an agreement to arbitrate and that the great conflict. is about to close, was. received throughout the eu- tlre hard coal region with the greatest satisfaction. The. news did not become generally known until this morning and it created considerable excitement. in the mining towns. The strikers as a rule. however, fol- lowing the example of their leader. are not disposed to prematurely celebrate the outcome of the long struggle. Their reward for the fight they made is yet to come in the findings of the arbitration commission, assuming that the miners officially endorse the agree- ment Mr. Mitchell made yesterday. There seems to be little doubt that the joint meeting of the executive boards of the three anthracite districts will call a convention of the minors to consider the arbitration proposition and have the men return to work. There is a belief that a general re~ sumption of coal mining will be had by Monday. The district presidents who are now on the. ground do not share. in this belief and some of them are op- posed to positing matters. A convcn tlon could not. be held before Saturday and they feel that one day is not on- ough to organize the body and permit of a full discussion of a proposition that is of the greatest importance to the miners, ; President Mitchell arrived from the information was received that an agreerucnt had been reached and he had little in say on the outcome. He was in his office this morning by until a. fll., and at 0:55 issued the fol- Iowing statement: Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Oct. Ill, 1002.

This lasted but a few tilin- utes when the dog stretched out, threw its head back and expired. The animal left Its master‘s house in Fort street about 5 o'clock this morn-. trig. and it is thought ate some poison. which he found on his way to the Washington street bridge. The poison must have been very strong, as it worked with so much rapidity. Last night and early this morning. when the. dog went away it showed no signs of poisoning, and consequently when Mrs. Roberts heard that the animal was dead. she could hardly believe the news. She is inclined to think that the ani~ mal was purpoaely poisoned, although she stated this morning she did not know that the dog had an enemy. Had the person whom the animal was an- noying came to her her she would readily have had him chained. The dog was a full blooded St. Bernard. and worth anywhere. from $753 to $100. Last week the owners refused an offer of $25 for the animal. Mrs. Roberts states tltat it is not the financial value of the log. but the fact. that the family had become so attached to the animal that makes her deeply regret the poisoning. for so it looks to be. She states that if she ever gets the poisonor in her elutches. she will not spare money to have him properly punished.

'The animal began to show signs of convulsions. ind Mr. Lcmongelli. with the help of ioscph Ghiotto. forced a quart of west all down the canine's throat. This appeared to partially relieve the log. although he still shook as if he was in tcriblo pain. Mr. Lemongclll spent the entire morning fccdlng the log milk. fats and sweet oil, but. it is loubtt‘ul If he can save the animal. lo states that if hc finds the person who polsnncd the (log. he will prose» 'ufc him to the extent of the law. The animal Is a full blooded English set- ter and only recently he refused $50 for the dog. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
