The gas committee Of the city council held
meeting Monday. at which the propositions
OF the Electric Light Company and the Gas
Company were considered. Members OF the
committee are very reticent on the sub
jsct but decline to say that nothing has been
done.
A GLoBE.REPUBLIo reporter called on q
member Of the committee Monday night to
ascertain what action had been taken, but
the gentleman refused to dlvulge anything
ofimportsnce. 10 the course of quite a
lengthy conversation be dropped, however, SUI
cient information to enable the reporter TO
state that the committee either had adopted, or
would adopt, the electric light
proposed, viz: forty.fvs electric lights
at $lH per year each, displscing
l5s gas lamps. The member alluded 70 also
gave some figures bearing on the question,
which ray be OF interest. They are a. fol-
lows:
AT the present time the city 10 lighting 7O3
lamps. The proposed substitution OF tho
electric light in certain portions of the city
will dispense with l5s of these, leaving 545
to be still lighted, At an annual cos, OF $22
each. Total for gas-lighting. $ll,9sO. To
which add, for city lighting, $3.50. and for
repairs $780, making the total for the gas
still to be used, $l3,o5O. The forty five
electric lights will cost the city $l44 each, or
81 500 for all, making a grand total for
lighting, in the manner proposed, per au-
mum, $l9,550. This Is just $50 more than
the amount allowed by the taI commits
sion. The proposal OF the gas company to
light the city at $22 per lamp post
would make the lighting cost, on the present
basis, $l5,466, to which add for city lighting
$500, and for repairs $lO2, making $lG,526.
1t appears from the above figures that there
would be saving to the city, annually, by
lighting entirely with gas, of $3,O24, or ray,
in round numbers, s.. 900.
The Gas Company proposes to put In new
posts at $l7 each. The $3, 900 saved to the
city by = gas CO n,ract a. proposed. would en-
able il to increase the number Of gas posts
the first year to 7s0, and this number could
be made larger In subsequent years until the
numter In use should be s3s, su increase Of
1856.

EH-Presidsnt Leach Creates More Fun for
the Foraker club.
From Morning Edition

| From Morning Edtion1
| At the last meeting OF the colored Foraker
| club, when George Leach bowed to the au
| thority OF President Graham Deuwell and
was again admitted TO floor membership and
given key to the room, il was iondIy imag-
ined that the troubles Of the club were ended
Apparently they sized up Brother Leach in
the wrong way, for he again broke loose las,
night. As he WAS passing the club room,
on Main street, last night, Sam Huffman saw
Leach and group Of colored men
on the sidewalk, and immediately
suspected an Ethiopian in the fuel.
He hastened to Graham Deuwelrs
office, and after apprising him of the fact,
went out to hnd few OF the regular mem
bers. Deuwell came down and found a few
boys and old men at the bottom of the stairs
waiting for Leach who had gone after lamps
to light up the room. He soon learned that
Leach had brought them together to organize
new club, with the prospect OF distributing
$4,000 of Foraker's money among thems-
selves just before election. He told them
that he had no objections to the formation of
a new club, but that they must find ano ther
room to meet in as this one was rented by
the Foraker club and was 70 be
used for no other purpose. Just
then Leach came up with a
couple OF lamps and hustled those OF the crowd
who were willing to go upstairs. Deuwell
remained below until Sam Huffman and eight
or nine members of the club came up. They
then repaired upstairs to the club room. Huff
man then told them that he had that day
paid the rent OF the room in behalf of the
Foraker club, as its treasurer, and that no
other club had a right to the 70 om. Deu-
well followed with an explanation saying
that he wanted no trouble i / the matter, but
that they must go. He invited them to ion
the Foraker club at its regular meeting Wed.
nesdsy evening, but said that the room was
not open to any other club. Leach
refused to 90, claiming that as one
OF the founders of the Foraker club
he and his friends had perfect right there to
do AS they pleased. High words followed,
and Deuwell sent Huffman down to get Off
Ger Bass, who quietly elected Leach. Natur-
ally he objected strongly, but finally took his
lamp and departed.

tor, Prof. W. l.. Blumensehein; pianist,

unanimously adopted;
Whereas, Prot. Burbank has found it de-

attached to spring wagon, balked In the
hole at the Buck creek ford between Lime
stone and Market streets. As it Was too deep
to wade out, the young men finally wearied
OF beating the beast, and Sat down until the
spirit moved it. Sitting there In the icy
stream which flowed over the top of the
