LIGHTING THE STREETS.
Over $24, 900 Will Be Saved the
City Next Year.

ivy ItCAe OoAs
The committee on gas met yesterday
at the Office of the city clerk and opened
bids for lighting the streets of Mime
apOlis for 1890. The bids received were
as follows: William Forrestal. at S17.20
per lamp per year; Western Wheeler
Reflector company, Sl5.S4 per lamp per
year; J. Wander HOrck IL Co., S16.96 per
lamp; Chester Oil company. $3.50 per
lamp per year: the NOrthw estern Globe
Gas Light company. at Sl4.40 per lamp
per year. These bids are said to be the
lowest ever received by the city. The
committee on gas unanimously recon-
mended that the contract be awarded to
the lowest bidder, the Northwestern
Globe Gas Light company, of Minneap-
oils. The total cost next year for street
lighting will be about $4,000. Ire
business streets are ligted by 476 electric
arc lightS.a the inside resident streets
by 1854 gas lamps. The electric lights
cost $3.50 each per year, and the gas SIS
per lamp per year. The outlying wards
and suburban territory are at present
lighted by three companies, all of whose
contracts are about to expire, and it is
to light this outside territory that the
council asked for bids.
The Northwestern Globe Gas Light
company for years had no opposition in
this lighting. 1t is now lighting 600
lamps at so per year. The company is
purely Minneapolis concern, all of its
officers and stockholders are some of
our best-knOwn and wealthiest business
men. About three years ago, after
long and bitter contest, two other
companies secured small contracts; one,
the Sun Vap0r company. of Canton, o.,
was at that time awarded contract for
100 lights at s22.s0 each per year; the
number was afterward increased to S66
and the price reduced to about S2l. The
other company was the Wheeler Re-
fector company. of Chicago. They
were at the same time awarded con-
tract for 400 lamps at S17.95 per lamp per
year. This number has been increased
to 720 lamps. Large sums have been
paid all these companies each year for
repairs, rentals, breakage, ETC., until
the grand total amount paid these
three companies aggregates about
$4,000 per year. The committee
thought by asking for bids for the whole
number by one company they would get
lower bid, and their superstition
proved correct. They have saved the
city at least 81, 900 per year.

is certainly one of his best. Imagine,

Field.
Frank L. Childs, the dealer in bank
rupt stol Ks of boots and shoes, has be-
gun another damage suit for 5000
against his old friend and fellOw-trades-
man J. W. Field. Some time ago Childs
sued Fields for the same amount be-
cause of a certain advertisement which
was published i'll the Tribune. This
suit is brought because of the printing
of an advertisement of Fields in the
journal Oh the Dist of last November in
which the following words were used:
"The prOprietors of the alleged bankrupt
shoe store at PIC Hennepin avenue, have
one Of their branch stores located near
my store. and once ia while people

poor boys last dollar for pair of paper

that would reach this class of fraud.

remedy has completely met these cond'-

ORTIZ STEIN.
The Story of his Career i'm FlOri-
da-A Man of Many
Aliases.

The Baltimore Sun has the follow
ing concerning Orth Stein the news
paper man who has figured so promi-
nently before the public for the past
few years:
Detective Nowatt of the Savannah
and Georgia steamship company is in
Baltimore ON business connected with
that company, and at the same time
is attempting to connect a prisoner,
who, was recently sentenced in Florida
for forgery, with Walter A. McNulty,
who has half a dozen aliases and who
mysteriously disappeared in Baltimore
last summer. He disappeared quite
mysteriously after he had secured the
Endorsement of DR.. w. Chew
Van Bibber to a worthless draft,
which he had cashed at the Union ma
tional bank. Detective Nowatt thinks
there are several points of resem-
blance between McNulty and the
Florida forger. Each has dark hair,
small dark mustache, black eyes,
prominent nose and each wears eye
glasses and smokes cigarettes and each
is addicted to the morphine habit.
Each also writes in a brilliant style.
The forger whom Detective Nowatt
arrested had been received in the bust.
ness and select social circles at
Palatka, Fla, where he represented
himself as a special agent of Herperg
Brothers. He won the confidence of
the townspeople, who showed him the
sights of the place and bestowed every
courtesy upon him. One day he
brought forth the trick he had prac-
ticed successfully throughout the south
he forged the check of sn acqaint-
ance. The amount for $50. He was
captured and late In March he was
sentenced to the slate penitentiary.
IF he should upon closer examination
prove to be McNulty he would prob
ably have to face charges in other
cities upon the experation of his pres
ent sentence, and if he should be
convicted he will be looking down a
long vista of years to be passed
within prison walls. The par
ticula- charge against him in Balti-
more is securing $3.50 by other than
honest methods. He gained the con-
fdence of DIR. w. Chew Van Bibber,
who Endorsed a draft for him when
told plausible story by the rogue
about the absence of some more famil-
lar acquaintance. Alter he had
cashed the draft for $3.50
he disappeared, leaving his board
bill at Barnum's hotel unpaid, as well
as neglecting to settle with DR.. Alex.
ander Hill for professional services.
When he came to Baltimore he sub
mitted an article to the Sun on the
Whitechapel murders. 1t was accep-
ted and paid for, the true character of
the author being unknown and not
even suspected. 1t was q well written
article and he wrote three more on
kindred subjects, and they were also
paid for. McNulty's real name is
Orth Stein aud he belongs to a good
western family. He soon spent a |
small fortune inherited from his father
and then squandered the fortune of
his too coniding mother. He has
piled bis vocation as forger. embezzler
and trickster in all the principal cities
