WHY HE DON'T LIGHT UP.
Edison Hampered by the Monde
livery Of Street Mains
Lights Till Spring.

Major Eaton, OF the Edison Electric
Light company, Was seen last evening BY
World reporter with regard TO the al
legged suspension of operations i'm
the first district. The major said
Il have just read the report A. to
discharge Of our employees and an
indefinite postponement of the illumi-
nation OF the First district. Let me
say that the paragraph il malicious in It's
intent. This company as at present EN-
ploying 800 men-more than ever before.
The tube company has also more men than
ever on Its pay rolls and is laying 900
feet OF underground electric street main
per day i'm the downtown district The
electric machine works in Goerck street
are now building twelve mammoth dyna-
mos with 200 lights each for the first
district. one similar dynamo Tor London
and 400 smaller dynsmos for isolated
lighting These shops have for the last two
weeks been running day snd night. Our
light is now being introduced in over forty
isolated factories and stores. The electric
hallway of Edison three miles long al Men,
10 Park is graded and two miles Of rails laid.
Stevenson lie building the cans, and the
electric engine is building at our works i'm
Goerck street The electric lamp factory
at Menlo park is running with its full
force of men, and is turning out shout
LOO lamps per day, and the lamp fac
tory at Newark, capable of turning ont
II 900 day, is just being started. Edison
is constantly taking out patents on his
electric light and railway The patent
office issued To him twenty five patents on
these things on December q, making in all
eighty patents on the electric light issued
to Eddison in the Uniiey States, and he
has about eighty applications still pend
ing. The wiring in the down town
district is completed; and most Of the
wire-men are discharged, although we
have now over forty men on the
pay-rolls We have wired in the down
town district 100 houses, with capacity
for fifteen thousand lamps. The delay in
lighting up the district is caused solely by
our inability to get our contracts Tor un-
derground street mains filled promptly
The only possible delay in the future will
be from rain or frost. Should We have an
open winter the downtown district will be
lighted up by March next There are new
six miles OF mains IL. You can saw that
there is no such woru - failure in con-
nection with this company. All our
works are In active operation and Mr.. Eii-
son is not dead, nor likely to die yet. We
have no troubles in the company, as our
opponents are continually reporting, and
our work is being carried on As rapidly as
is consistent with safety and efficiency"

| count my treasures DER with care
4 little toy that baby knew
A little sock of faded hue
A little lock Of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas tiae,
MY little One-my all to me-
Sat, robed in white, upon my knee,
And heard the Merry Christmas chime.
"Tell me my little golden-head,
III Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright
What treasure for my boy 2" said.
And then he named the little toy,
While in his round and truthful eyes
There came a look of glad surprise
That spoke his trusIful, childish 10Y.
Aud As he lisped his evening pray'r,
He asked the boon with baby Erxoe
And toddling to the chimney placs
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, ~ length'ning shadows crep<
! saw the white-winged angels Come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept
They must have heard his baby pray'r,
For in the morn with glowing face.
He toddled TO the chimney place
And found the little TREASURES there.
They came sgain one Christmas tide
That angel hoet, 80 isir aud white
And, singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side
4 little sork, little toy
A little lock Of golden hair
The Christmas music on the air
A watching for my baby boy.
But ii again tina, angel train
And golden-hesd Come back for ne
To bear Tie 20 eternity,
Ny Watching will Not DC in vain.

A Turkey Transaction.

James +. Boaidin, VINO r,sides about
two nliiee and half from the city. has
missed number Of fne turkeys lately, al
though the gobblers roasted rs high as the
trees on the premises would permit. As
the number kept growing beautifully less.
Mr. Bouldiu came 20 the sensible conclu-
sion that unless some kind OF check were
put upon these mysterious disappearance,
he would speedily find himself turkeyless.
lie accordingly hired a negro, armed with
gun, to watch for the depredstors. On
Sunday night the thieves came, n usual,
but the darkey Was asleep. They not only
helped themselves TO liberal supply of
New Years turkey. but also stole the sen
tinel's gun. The darkey woke up gunl,ss,
and Mr.. Bouldin rose from his slumbers
will nigh gobblerless. and rather hot. At
last accounts the black sentinel WAS still
alive.
