TIPPECANOE POWER PLANS.

Charles Meeker, of Lafayette, was in the city today. Mr. Meeker stated that within a mouth as soon as the river falls to low water stage an expert engineer will come on from New York and examine into the merits of the Horseshoe Bend power scheme. If his estimate of the power available agrees within 10 per cent of the first estimate, the work of constucting the dam will begin. If the plant is constucted the electricity generated will be transmitted to Delphi, Lafayette. Monticello and other nearby towns for power and light purposes and will also furnish power for the proposed electric line down the old Wabash canal.— Monticello Journal.
