THE LIGHTING QUESTION

Still Before the Alliance Council---Miss
Ida ellis, Injured at Meyers Lake
on the Fourth, in a Precarious Condi-
ton.
ALLIANCE, July 10.-The Harrison
club sent congratulations to the Re-
publican nominee, and at its meeting
last night heard the following letter,
which had been received from him:
INDIANAPOLIS, July 2, 1888. Will J.
0by, Secretary, Alliance, o., Dear Sir:
l acknowledge receipt of yours of the
18th inst, in behalf of the Harrison Re-
publican Club of your city, extending
to me congratulations over the result
of the Chicago convention, for which
please accept my sincere thanks both
for yourself and the club. Yours sin
cerely, BENZ. HARRISON.
The council committee on street rail
roads met last night and talked for sew
eral hours with Superintendent Whita-
ere. Z. N. johnson, chairman of the
committee, did not attend, and the
other members wonder why he neglects
all their meetings. There is a belief
chat the Cleveland company intends to
use the Arch street rather than Mt.
Union street. Mr.. Johnson lives on
Mt. Union street and owns several
pieces of valuable property on that
street. He does not favor the granting
of the franchise unless the company
agrees to build on Mt. Union street.
As the company's representative, Mr..
Whitacre, declines to guarantee a line
ON Mt. Union street, this may be the
cause of Councilman Johnson's lack of
interest in the proceedings. The other
members of the committee are ready to
report in favor of the grant, with the
provision thati it shall lapse if the road
is not built within six months.
Miss Ida ellis, the young lady who
was injured by falling out of "a hahn
mock, at Myers Lake, on the Fourth, is
lying in a dangerous condition at her
home on Linden Avenue. She has been
suffering with tetanus in severe form,
and goes into frequent commissions,
though the last two days they have
been growing less violent. She received
q severy injury at the base of the brain.
Alliance Post, G. A.. r., last night
unanimously adopted a resolution de-
claring their intention to do all in their
power to promote fraternal feeling with
the members of George Harlem Post.
The latter post meets Thursday even
ing, and we anXiously await their ac-
ton on a similar resolution.
Marshal Stacy left this morning for
the Reform School at Lancaster, taking
to that institution Lew Davis, the boy
burglar. Lew was rugged out in a
brand new suit of clothes, bought for
him by Judge Fawcett, and he was ap-
parently happy at the prospect of his
entry into the school.
The funeral of Harry Grubb yester-
day was attended by the Sons of Vet
Grams and the Daughters of Veterans,
and notwithstanding the rain there was
a large turnout, Rev. l.. II. Stewart
preached the funeral sermon.
At their meeting last evening the
Daughters of Veterans arranged for a
social and festival, to be held Thursday
Friday and Saturday evenings, in John
Joseph's room on West Main street.
