Outrageous Conduct of Two Ruhians.
Early Sunday evening, while the wife
of a well known gentleman was sitting at
the parlOr window of her residence on
Broughton street, with the blinds nearly
closed, two young men passed and slapped
the blinds. which struck her violently in
the face. The lady eXpostulated with the
young men, who were perfect strangers
to her, when one of them said that if she
would put her head further out of the
window she might get struck on the nose.
The husband of the lady happened to be
not at home at the time, but when he re-
turned and heard of the occurrence, he
quite naturally decided to manifest his
Indignation on the offenders whenever he
shall have ascertained who they were.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

How the New Works are Progressing
The Machinery Ordered and the Lights
to be Burning by the 10th of January.
a meeting of the stockholders OF the
Brush Electric Light and Power Company
was held last evening at Metropolitan
Hall. Col. J. Il. Estill was called to the
chair and Mr.. s. S. Guckenheimer
elected Secretary. Capt. D. G. Purse
stated that the object Of the
meeting was to take further action rela-
tive to the issuing of bonds, but since the
call was issued it was found that owing
to the nOn-receipt of certain papers it
would be best to adjourn to another day.
He. therefore, moved that when the meet
ing adjourned it adjourn subject to the
call of the chair. Capt. Purses motion
was carried unanimously.
Mr.. 5. z. Hamilton, President of the
company. gave an interesting statement
of how the work of rebuilding the works
was progressing. He stated that the
building was ready for the roof, that two
engines and two 50-light dynamos had
been ordered, and it was very probable
that the lights would be burning by the
10th of January, if nothing occurred to
delay the shipment of the new outfit.
Capt. Purse stated that the committee
on placing the bonds had not had time to
give the matter their full attention, but
there would be no trouble in raising all
the money necessary for completing the
works.
The meeting then adjourned subject to
the call of the Chairman.
