THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
How it Appeared Saturday Evening From
 Principal Points.

Saturday evening in company with T. F. Cronise, the manager of the electric light works, CITIZEN reporter made tour of inspection of the electric lights Thirty-two lights were on the circuit. Wilkins * Shotwel's store az peared nearly as bright as day. The Congress saloon was filled with the electric glory, and all present united in pronouncing it the boss light. Several other places were similarly lighted. The mammoth store of l.. Zeckendorf & Co. presented a grand appearance. From the gallery in the rear an entertaining view was to be seen. The immense stock of dry goods and clothes of all kinds were displayed under the electric light in their natural cOlors. There wIl be no trouble hereafter in the evening", for lady purchasers to select the right colored lawns or the correct shade ui ribbon. The store was at the time tIll Of patrons, and presented busy scene well calculated to uudeceive one as to the cry of dull times. Cash boys were hurrying to and fro with bundles or coin. The cashiers were busy as bees, and the battalion of clerks were atten tive to the army of customers who filled the aisles. At Leyin's Park the grove Of cottonwoods locked as natural as In sunshine One great curiosity here were the bugs, which surroundeG the hghts as # paralyzed by its Overpoweriu- rays. They were legion. For space of ahout a radius of ten feet arouni each light the ground was covered with those who had fallen dead, while each wire for the same distance was covered as thick as they could hold. The ar was also filled with the insects. They are all of the same kind, brown in color, and of June bug variety. The furn- iture store of Leo Goldschmidt was like a palace. The great stock of furniture and carpets showed off to a fine adVan-- age. The bar-room of the CoSmrpoli- tan hotel IS we'll lighted with oue lamp. The courthouse and surrounding resld- ences literally dwell in the light The combined rays of l2O00 candle-pOwer make it very luminous around the courts of justice.

IugersoI! on Death.
Nrn Nl-, Mn-LI.


 The following lines are an extract taken from letter recently written by Colonel Iugcrsol from Long Beach ;o a personal friend who had suffered a be- reavemeut in the death of his mother;
 After all there is something tenderly appropriate n the serene death Of the old. Nothing is more touching than he death Of -he yoIuc. ihe strong. But when tie du'irs of life have all been nohly doue-whel the sun touches the ho-izon--whcr tEe purple twilight falls guon thr present the pat and future when memory wi-h dim ewes can scarce ly spell the records oi the vanished davs-ti eu, surrounded by kindred and by Friauis death comes like a strain of music. The day has been lo1g, the road weary, and we gladly stop at the inn.
 Life ,,. B sLadovy. strange, and wind ing road. ou which we travel for little way-a few sh1r. steps, inst from the cradle with its lullaby of love to the low ana quiet waysii- inn, where all at last must sleep, and where the only saluta- tion is 'Geod-uight'
 Nearir f0r,v-eiglt years ago, under the suoE in the little town of Cazeno- via, my poor mother was buried [ was but two yrar- old. l remember her as she l1osel in death That sweet, cold face has kept my heart warm through all the years.

A LIVELY SCHOOL ELECTION IN
 TOMBSTONE.
That Camp Not in Favor of Injecting Re
 IigIon Into the Public school system.

Iiglon Into the Public school system.
 TOMBSTONE, August ,, 1883.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: A tidal wave of ex- citement swept over this place at the school election yesterday, and Tomb stone made amends for some past bad behavior and did itself proud. We have an excellent public school here, regu- larly graded and with four efficient teachers. and which satisfactorily fills its place without noise or disturbance of any kInd to awaken special public inter- est and the present Board of Trustees have conducted its affairs well enough. S0 it was that the day for election of Board of Trustees for the coming term came along causing little comment whatever except the naturally curious one at having board of iadies for cleo ton officers. When the polls Opeaed yesterday morning men went about as usual, and the customary quiet pre- vailed for time at least. Soon after wards it became nOised around that the Rev. Father Gallagher, parish priest of the Catholic Church here, and d select coterie of his Catholic friends were on the streets elertiCneering strongly for what was called the New Board" and it was reported that the reverend Father had publicly declared on the street cor her that the public schools or Tomb stone and the instruction they give were a disgrace to the city and Tern tory. Wagons loaded with voters hur- ried up to the polls, votes for the New Board were cast, then hurried of and came arain with more. IL certainly looked amazingly like an organized Catholic attempt to control our public schools IL took q little time, of course, for fhis t0 become generally known, the attack was so unexpected, but once the news was abroad that was enough. Mer- chants left their counters, ladies fOrsOok their ua-!Ors, the miners on the hill quit work and came down iu sOld bodies, all to vote what they called the White Mans" or the "American's ticket" It Was popular wave, and the result speaks for itself. Nine hundred and sgveuty-siX votes were boiled, winch shows how strong the feeling grew, and the old Board, the non-Sectarian board, had maiorities averaging nearly 600 or course 1t may be denied that there was any such Catholic attempt to control our schools, or that there was any spe- cial religious support given to the New Boarc," still it Is certain that the priest took unusual interest In the electlou, and that it was the belief that such an attempt was being made that caused the excitement Certain It l., also, that after yesterdays work the Church will lei the Tombstone public schools se- ve-ely alone CITIZEN.

THE NEW COUNCIL CHAMBER.
The Common Council Take Possession
 This Morning.

This morning without any pOmp or ceremony the Common Council of the city of Tucson took possession of their new council chamber on the first floor Of the new city hall on the corner of Court street and the Court plaza. The room Is thiriy-four feet wide by sixty feet long. The ceiling and walls are plastered. Wainscotting runs around the room. A ballustrade divides the room in the center, being the line drawn be- tween the auditorium and the lobby. In the east end is a platform with two steps leading up to the Mayors chair, and nicely carpeted. Directly m front of he mayors desk arranged ID a semi circle are the desks and chairs of the cQuncilmen. The furniture is of fine black walnut. Each desk was well sup piled with stationery, of which the fol- lowing IS an inventory: , penholders. ? steei pens. 1 lnkstand, calendar, rub Der eraser, l city charter, bunch of letter envelopes. ditto of eight official Q ditto of legal cap, spittOou, plotting paper. The SIX desks are occupied, be- ginning on the right, respectively by councilman Tully, Davis, Parker, Pa checo, Levin and Etchells. On the right of the mayor, Is the desk of the city clerk, c. NJ Meyer. On the left of the mayor Is the table for the represen- tatiyes of the press. Tn whole the

The mayor's desk ls about two feet too high, and somewhat resembles the olj-iashioued elevated ministerial pulTIts. The acoustic prop critics of the chamber are perfect, for which much credit IS due to MT. W. J. Doherty, the builder, as it Is seldom that public halls are not nuisance ln thls respect. Exactly at II a. n. the fall Of the mayors gavel called the assembled council together. Mayer Strauss said he did not think It was necessary to have any formal reception. Mir. Tulls said the contractor wanted his money, and with these remarks, the clerk com menced reading the minutes of the meetings for July, and the council cham ber was thus "christened'
