From loot Friday'» HernM.
ElfltftWoal Inspector Shoo of the
BonthoMtern Tariff Aseoolstlon was in
Albany till* morning for Mio purpose of
.. inspecting the wiring of tUn buildings
Of the*dty.
Mr. Shoe-found that in many til
lance* tho ltinnlatlou was not' good. and
' he iiouaea wore so improperly wired
that rewirlffg will bareqnired.- In Some
instances, however, this is.not the r:i ;
I ; ,i
but- the majority of the bnildtngs will
, hftv.o to be «*wlrbd.
Tho rewiring of the buildings which
hro supplied with elccrrlc lights MU en
tail tnuuh trouble and expend, on the
M property ownein, ypt it will bo 4ee» at
oooe that it *b advinablo to have the re-
Wiring done in euoh itihflinges where
bnildingH have been so improperly wired
that thorn is always danger of tiro from
•Lort circuits.
. Mr. Shoe chlled oil the city author!
ties thin morning and told thorn of the
i; 1 oonoliiHionH which lit* investigations
V had warrantei] and .,uid Unit ho would
so report conditions to the Southeastern
Tariff Assooinrion. T'lii** r.'pori wcnld
necoBHitate the immodintn remedying of
thp fault in order that the itunrnnoo

may remain in Torero.
Mayor Brown-explained to Mr Shoo
that tho 6ity Was soon to build u new
olootric plunt nnd ailrod thnt he defer
hlB report until tho now plant won in
stalled, at which time the n.y ami prop
erty ownerH oonlrl make such changes
in tho house-wiring us lie should doom
necessary. Upon this representation
from Mayor Brown;'Mr. tihoo agreed to
withhold hiB report for the present.
Tho patrons of tho electric plant
should understand thnt tho new plant
has nothing to do with file n'*o« rsity for
rewiring tho houses. ft would bo uooes*
Bary whether tho now plant werojbnllt
or not, but Mayor Blown Im. thought
wlion tho city was putting in its new
plant would no a oonveuiont time for
tho houses to be rewired. It is tho in
clination of th« city authorities to have
the oil.y assist lu tho rewiring as much
as possible
It seems that tho wiring of most of
tho houses iu the city was improperly
done. The electricians who did tho
wiring either did not understand their
busineHB or were careless in their w ork.
That thin should he tho case i.-» most un
fortunate, for it will cause much trouble

The Chanetfger Now Ready for the Finishing
Touches.
New York, August 19.—The Sham
rock has been floated out of her dry
dock and taken to Torapklnsvlllo, ’S. I .
where the finishing touches will be put
on for the race. Before she left the dock
she was painted a light green above the
water line. Sir Thomas Liptou’s people
hope to have the the Shamrock II in
readiness for a cruise off’ the Hook on
Wednesday to greet her owner when he
comes in on the Teutonic, due that,

Saturday’s rnie between tho Consti

what he thought of these two boats, re
marked tliat they were so much alike
that .he did not care much which onb

He thought, however, that the Constitu
tion Was a much finer finished boat- than
the Columbia, a .id that so far ns he
could judge there was little difference
in the sailing qualities of too two Amer

sorno time ngo after a long and aggra
vating delay, two forces of laborers
were employed, one working during the
day and another at night. By this ar
rangement, the drill was carriod down
much more rapidly than could other
wise have been the oase. 9
For several weeks past the drill has
boon in the midst of tho deep quicksand
bed which is encountered in this region
at a depth of about 850 feet. The pas
sage of this stratum is always a trying
period in drilling artesian wells, and
there was rejoicing when it was left be
hind yefferday. The big steel drill
is now in the rocky stratum immediately
below the quicksand, and is making sat
isfactory progress.

five hundred feet, and some four hun
dred feet more yot remains to bo pene
