Streets, and were handed over to the
police, who were in hopes of having
thus OPPORTUNITY come in possession of
clue to the fre-bugs, who lately caused
SO much anxiety and damage. The
clothes were subjected to a close scru-
tiny but nothing found on them to lead
to the discovery of the owner. The al
ley-corner was attentively watched to
surprise and capture the party who had
secreted his clothes in an out-of- the
way place like this, but nothing came
of it, till it was finally made known by
Mr.. Arnold, the hard wareman, that a
former apprentice of his had left him
but had come back to claim his gar
ments, which he had placed beneath
the stable. The boys father indenti-
fed the clothes, and the mystery is
solved.
About year ago our Board of Trade
had under consideration a proposition
by the Thompson-Houston Electric Co.,
which wanted to furnish our city with
an entire plant under certain condi-
tons. At the time no agreement was
made, but now since the same compa-
ny offers other terms, we are in hopes
that effective measures will be taken to
secure for us the benefit of a most salts
factory system of lighting our streets.
We understand that the mills con
template the adoption Of electric light,
and that the Empire Mill, having a re-
serve engine, will be able to furnish
the power necessary to light the city.
