ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The Movement of the Brush Company for
Lighting Broadway Arouses Edison, Who
Again Promises that His Light VIII Soon
be Perfected.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The electric light is
now taking possession of the public mind.
Thos. A. Edison, the well Unknown inventor,
says: 81 am preparing a test for the sub
division of electric light, and will soon have
it ready. 1 am already satisfied that 1 must
show gentlemen who are to put their money
in this thing its practical working before
they take the step. There is to be no guess
work about it. We will know exactly the
cost of everything before we go ahead. Be-
cause L have been q few mouths perfectinc
this thing, the public said I Il had failed.
They forgot that there are millions of
dollars invested in gas, and they must not
expect one little Jersey man to revolutlonize
the light of the world and render all this
capital worthless. The light L produce is
better and cheaper, and these are the two
qualities that will kill gas. Besides, there is
no dirt from my light and no danger from
escaped gas or combustion. The light is
lncaldescent, simply produced by an impact
OF electric particles upon carbon. 1t is q
clear blaze, and has none of those disagreable
peculiarities which the public have come to
associate with the idea of electric light gained
from those distressingly glaring balls which
you see IN front of theater5 and other build
ings. The difficulty hitherto has been in the
subdivision of light, so az to bring IFS appli-
cation within the reach of the many. A
great many writer's upon this subject have
declared this to be impossible, but it is not,
and L have proved it. 1 calculate that the
city of New York can be lighted by my
method at a cost of something like $4,000
Coo, which is a very reasonable amount.
My light will be perfected before a gre at
while. | am working hard now"

THE COFFEE FAILURES.

The Whole Trade suspended-Srsp .c.ous
Circumstances About KimbalFs Connec-
ton With the Late Syndicate.
New YORK, Dec. 13.-Mr. Dash, of the
firm of Bowie. Dash q Co., vas in confer
enee to-day with the attorney of the frm. In
the coffee trade there is stagnation every
where apparent. Brokers to-day could hard
ly be said to have any samples. ''There is
literally no demand" said one of the large
importers, "and there are no prices.' Prices
are down to hard pan and the disposition is
to wait a turn for it. This situation results
from the unprecedented coffee crop of
Brazil, the large stock and heavy purchases
by the late syndicate of New York and Bos-
ton importers covering the recent failures;
both of the collapsed firms, B. G. Arnold &
Co.. and Bowie, Dash & Co., aver that they
have held nc commercial intercourse with
each other for a long time past. The will of
Kimball, Boston, has been offered for pro-
bate. Neither of the New York firms sus-
pended have been able TO learn with any.
satisfaction how Kimball's affairs stand.
Each Knows to what extent it is involved as
to its connection with Kimball, but neither
knows the affairs of the other IS to him nor
how much of business disorder for them
turks in his accounts. Neither firm has been
able to learn what quantity of coffee Kimball
has secured either in stock or by purchase.
He had no Office of his own in this city and
it is known he had NO coffee stocked here.

Chamber of Commerce Meeting.

At the meeting of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning an inquiry from
the census bureau as to the difference be-
tween the actual and assessed valuation of
real property in this city and county was re-
ferred to a special committee, consisting of
Directors McOIung, Berkey and Murray.
The resignation of Capt. Thos. Barney as
director and vice president was read, and on
motion, action thereon was postponed one
week.
A question was raised as to whether the
continued absenteeism of some of the d.
rectors had not created vacancies to be filled,
which was referred to the nominating COM
mittee, with instructions to confer with non
attending directors and report next Monday.
Gen. Andrews presented the chamber with
two copies of the United States Senate docu-
ment containing the report and correspond
ence of the special committee of this cham
Der regarding the establishment and endow-
ment of q school of forestry.
On motion of Mr.. Murray the special
committee appointed at the last meeting was
discharged from consideration of the pro-
position to consolidate the city and county
governments, and the matter was referred to
the committee on legislation, with Directors
Berkey and Lindeke.
The statistics and correspondence COM
mittee was requested to report On revision
of the b bylaws next Monday.
The proposition of last Monday to inquire
into the necessity and propriety of pre-
curing legislation to authorize the
erection of q new court house and
city hall, and also for purchase of the water
works by the city, was continued to Monday
next.
The inquiry of last week as to the ex-
pediency of having it enacted that all officers
OF this county and city shall be elected by
the people, was referred to the committee
on legislation. Adjourned.

The sublime ignorance of the commonest
details of business displayed in the last full
mination of 81. M. Knox, examiner of pub
bic accounts, should suggest to the governor
the expediency of either placing a man of
sense and business sagacity in the place or
creating q vacancy. The latter whould be
preferable, for no public benefit is served by
the existence of the Office. 1t was created
for a pauper and has been filled by such a
creature all along. That office and the Office
of railroad commissioner should be abolish
ed, for they are of nc benefit to the public
whatever. The State should not be called
upon to support all the worn out political
hacks who come within its borders.

THERE is every indication that the coming
year will witness great activity in the matter
or railroad construction. Preparations have
been made for the prosecution of work on
all the Pacific lines, and some half a dozen
roads are seeking access to st. Paul and the
rich country in this vicinity. There will
probably be at least four hundred miles of
road built during the year which will be di-
rectly tributary to st. Paul.

SAD ACCIDENT.

Daily, YardHaaster at Mason City, la.
Crushed ind Killed Under q SsUitch En-
CINE.
To the Editor of the Globe.
MASON CRY, Dec. 13.-The usual serenity
and quiet of our city was considerably dis
turbed by the rumor that a man had been
killed in the yard of the Chicago, Milwaukee
q st. Paul railroad. fastening to the scene
of the accident your correspondent ELECTED
the following facts: John Daily left his
home about Z O'Clock in the morning to at
tend to his regular work as yardmaster.
After about two hours switching
the switch engine received orders to
do some work in the east end of the yard.
The engineer, whose name is Burns, re-
versed his engine, started for the other end
of the yard and saw. or supposed he saw,
Daily step on the front part of the engine,
as he had seen him do hundreds of times
before. Running to the other end of the
switch he waited some minutes for Daily to
get off and unlock the switch, but he failing
to do SO and nothing to be seen of him,
Burns concluded that he was mistaken aud
that Daily had not stepped on the engine
and he started back to find him. Running
back to the place where he supposed Daily
had jumped on he found his lifeless
and mangled body lying in
the center of the track. The
mass of flesh could hardly be recognized as
having m been the body of a human be-
ing.
Daily leaves a wife and several children to
mourn his death. He had held his present
position about a year and had been in the
employ of the railroad for several years and
was a universal ~favorite among the railroad
boys. Yesterday Sunday a special train
carried the remains to Calmar, (the former
no Q of Daily for interment, a large dele
cation of the railroad fraternity accompany
ing them.
No blame whatever is attached to the en-
gineer nor any of the trainmen, az no one
saw Daily fall and no one except Burns, the
engineer, saw him attempt to get on the en-
CINE. Nothing can be said of the unpleas-
ant affair but that it was purely accidental.

Pleuro-Pneumonia.

New YORK, Dec. 13.-SeveraI informal
meetings of the members of the House agri-
cultural committee from the cattle raising
and stock breeding States in the West have
been held, to consult as to the best measures
to be adopted in the nature of national leg
islation on the spread Of pleuro-pneumonia,
which not only causes immense and annually
increasing loss from its ravages among cat
tie, but threatens to exclude them entirely
from foreign markets. There have already
been referred to the committee o large num-
Der Of petitions and memorials urging
prompt action on the part of Congress,
among them that of the national grange,
which, at its recent session in this city, with
representatives from thirty States, prepared
a memorial urging Congress to pass such
laws 50 will not only arrest the
spread of this contagioD, bu: effectually
exterminate it from the land. On motion
of Representative CEswell the House of Rep
resentatives ordered printed in the Record
and referred to the committee on agricul-
ture the resolutions recently adopted by the
convention of live stockers of tho United
States held at Chicago. 10 view of the import
ance of immediate action, Chairman Gov
ert has called a meeting of the agricultural
committee for Wednesday morning, when
the earnest consideration of this subject
will be at once entered upon to the exclu-
sion for the time being of every thing else.
Two or three bills introduced at the last
session are o before the committee, none
of them however, seem to cover the entire
question. Constitutional questions Of grave
Importance seem to be involved, and the
committee are fully impressed with the diff
Guilty which attends the adoption If any ma
tional measure sufficiently comprehensive to
embrace the whole subject without infring-
ing upon right Of the several States.

BLAINE cannot do better than to accept
the position rendered him in Mr.. Garfeld's
cabinet. An unsuccessful candidate for the
Presidency cuts but a poor figure in the
Senate, especially when those who were
chiefly instrumental in his defeat are his as
s~ociates. In the Senate Blaine will always
be compelled to play second fiddle to Conk-
ling and the rest of the Senatorial syndi-
cate. In the cabinet he might occasionally
get a chance to mold the upper hand.

very blessings that were promised you by
Ichova unto q land of hills and valleys, unto
a good land and a large. SUnto q land flow
ing with milk and honey; a land of corn and
wine and OIL" It may be. asked, "Have the
Hebrews nc fauIts?" My answer is, this
is not the time or place to say unpleasant
things.
That is left for your Rabbi and others who
may be inclined that way.
y Whenever you find a great commercial
city there will you find also the Jews. In
1860, on the steps of the capitol, VIM. Fl.
Seward said: SIN our Own day, studying
perhaps what might have seemed to others
tempting and visionary, I had cast about for
the future ultimate seat of the power of the
North American people; I had looked at
Quebec, New Orleans, at Washington and
San Francisco, at Cincinnati and st. Louis,
and it had been the result of my conjecture
that the seat of power for North America
would yet be found in the valley of Mexico,
and the glories of the Aztec capital would be
surrendered III its becoming ultimately and
at last the capital of the United States of
America. But l have corrected that view.
l now believe the ultimate last seat of gov
eminent on this great continent will be found
somewhere within q circle or radius
not very lar from the spot on which I stand,
at the headwaters of navigation in the Mis-
sissippi valley. You see, we too, claim a
prophet, and n of the very best evidences
of the growth and commercial prosperity of
st. Paul is the large number of Hebrews
gathered together here.
This fair is inaugurated to raise money to
build a temple here; is the Hebrew name
st. Paul prophetic of its future greatness?
AS mayor of the city of st. Paul, and in
its name, I extend to you our best wishes
for your success; you have men of great
wealth and business ability among you; go
on and build a temple worthy of your race
and history and worthy Of the city of your
adoption. The laws of our country extend
equal protection to all; before the law Jew
and GENTLE stand on equal footing. Say to
your prosecuted brethren in Germany, or
elsewhere, that in the United States there are
no laws against them.
Tell them to come and help build the fu-
ture great commercial capital of the North
west, tell them that here they can build
temples and worship God under their own
vine and fig tree, none daring to make them
afraid and it affords me satisfaction to state
that among your race in st. Paul, it is hard
to find either a criminal or pauper.

The Irish situation is daily becoming
more critical, and almost any moment open
revolution against the British authority
may take place. For centuries England has
treated the Irish people like serfs, granting
them the privilege of existence but grudg-

of the ruling classes some of these days
that even the worm, when trod upon, will
