ST. PAUL GAS WORKS.

The st. Paul Gas Light company was
organized first in 1856, with Joseph Hoy,
Alexander Ramsey, VIM. L. Banning, Ed
mund Rice and Charles II. Cakes as in
corporators. The capital stock was fixed
at 100000, which was increased in 1866.
Work was commenced at once, and gas
was supplied to the city and private parties
for the first time in 1857, the company
having obtained an amendment to the Or
lginal act extending the time for laying
the first one and a half miles of main pipe
until Dec. l, 1857. Since that time the
works have been extended to all parts of
the city, and to-day the company has
twenty-five miles of main pipe, over 1000
consumers, and during the year 1882 man
ufactured some 100000 feet of gas. To
do this it used 5000 tons of coal and 800
bushels of lime, and gave employment to
fifty men.
During 1882 the company laid a little
over ten miles of main pipe, and during
1883 will continue to extend their lines az
fast as the rapidly growing needs the city
will demand, and will add largely to the
works, building a new retort and other i'm
provements and engagements, amounting
in all to many Thousand dollars.
In January, 1867, the gas works passed
into the hands of the present management,
composed Of Hon. b. h. Sibley, president,
Commodore N. w. Kittson, vice president,
and A. J. Goodrich, secretary and treasur-
or, who have conducted its affairs ever
since that date.
The company now have es7 street lamps
which they light with gas. and these will
be largely added to during the year 1883.

The Electric Light.

In addition to the gas works, the same
company secured an amendment to their
charter enabling them to supply the city
and private individuals with the Fuller
electric light. and during the year 1882
they set sixty poles, strung fifteen miles of
wire and are now supplying 40 lights.
The company has already commenced
work on it new plant, located on Sixth
street, between jackson and Sibley streets,
which, together with steam engine, boilers,
etc., will require an'outlay of fully $780,
600, if not more. The new works will be
completed early in the season. The first
electric light was brought into the city in
April, 1882.

while the ruins were still smouldering the

at 8 O'Clock the next morning, the different

REBUILDING.
Among the first acts of Gov. Pillsbury in
his new quarters was to invite proposals
for rebuilding the burned ediice, upon the
same general ground plan and utilizing
the old walls, which, it was then thought,
could largely be made serviceable. Upon
receiving three estimates bill was pre-
pared and rushed through both houses of
the legislature, appropriating $4,000
for that purpose, and work was commenced
at once. It was soon demonstrated, how
ever, that the walls were not safe, and new
plans had to be adopted involving the en-
tire reconstruction of the building. Upon
this an additional appropriation of
| 800, 600 was secured at the extra SEES
sion of the legislature, ap-
proved Nov. 10. 1881, to finish, furnish, and
make the building as near fire proof as
possible, In addition to these two ap-
preparations, aggregating $175,0O0, there
was available for the new structure two ap-
preparations, passed before the old build
ing was burned, one of $1,000 for repairs
of the roof, and another of $4,000 for a
boiler room, making the entire appropri-
alton $184, 900. This sum was exhausted
in October last, and work
upon the new structure was
upon the point of being stopped
for the want of funds, when Gov. Hub
bard, approaching the importance OF
having it SO far completed for the ap-
preaching session of the legislature, ap
piled to certain of our public spirited cit
liens for aid, who placed in his hands dur
ing the months of October and November
the sum of $4,000, sum, it was the1

broad street Church FESTIVAL.


The festival given by the ladies' of the
Broad Street NJ, E. Church, South, opened
very auspiciously at Turner Hall, in the OPP
era house building, last night. The good
ladies, who had neglected home duties for
this noble church work, were engaged,
many of them, all day on the arrangement
of the room, which was complete and at
tractive
There were prepared in all twelve tables
and lemonade stand, and they we're laden
with all the substantials, dainties and
delicacies of the season, prepared in ex-
quisite style, and served with admirable
taste by the ladies of that congregation, both
young and old, who are noted for their
beauty, pleasant dispositions and graceful
and obEging manners.
There was an immense attendance of the
friends and wen-wishers, and the good la
dies were greatly encouraged and kept very
busy attending to the wants of the throng
of people.
| The most notable feature of the festival
is the first table which greets the visitor on
entering the hall. It is the horse shoe liable,
arranged in the shape of horse
shoe, over which is hung their motto,
GOOD Luck" and pending horse shoe, in
evergreen. This table was the invention OF
Miss Ella Gates and Miss Ida DeGroat, and
proved to be decided success, attracting
from its novelty and neat arrangement, uni
versa attention. The ladies' above men,
toned, together with Miss frankie Gates,
Miss May Allison and Mrs. D. G. Gurley,
presided over the horse SHOE" with
faultless grace, and with their charming
and winsome ways, succeeded in SURPRISING
all others. It is certainly a pleasure to fall
into the hands of sr,ch young ladies.
The festival was given by the Ladies'
Mite Society of the church, of which Mrs.
Matt. Franklin is president, and Mrs. w. G.
Fulcher secretary. The enterprising
ladies of this society, through their
indefatigable efforts, have purchased
a lot on which to erect parsonage, and it
is for the parsonage fund that this festiv al
is given-a most praise-worthy object, nd
one meriting the patronage of all well-wish-
| ers.
1t is entirely safe to pronounce last nights
opening magnificent success. The ladies
viii serve lunch from Ito 8 to-day, and
will continue the festival tonight, and it is
to be hoped their patronage will be
doubled. Let every one who is hungry
go for lunch to-day, and to-night the young
folks can enjoy themselves to hearts con-
| tent. J-t.
The editors of the CHRONICLE take this
occasion to thank the good ladies, in add.
ton to kind attentions at the festival, for a
handsome waiter of the good things, which
were partaken of with genuine relish
