PROPERTY OWNERS ACT.

The Market street committe on paving
commenced work in earnest yesterday and
resulted in getting twent-seyen names OF
the leading property owners on the petit
ton asking for paving improvements So
far the committee has failed to find a man
who has wished to put his name on the list
against the improvement.
The petition is being handled by Mr..
Oscar Smith who has his heart in the mat
ter and is working in solid earnest. He
has considerable property on the streets
and so far as he is personally concerned he
hopes that Market street will have the
paving year or two before any other street
in the city a list of all the property
owners OIL the street has been prepared so
no one will be overlooked and all given a
chance to have a voice in the matter.
One feature of yesterdays work was the
action of the county commissioners who
signed the petition asking hat First street
be paved representing the county build
ing.
The committees for Waco avenue and
Main street will be ready for active duty
today and very soon it will be possible to
get an idea of the total opinion of the pro-
perty owners.

VETERINARY SURGEONS TABLE.

Drs. Phillips and Phillips have just pu,
| into their rooms at the Palace stable
| North Lawrence, veterinary operating
! table. 1t is the only one in this section
| and is truly one of the greatest and most
| important inventions Of the age for yeter-
| mary surgery.
The table is made of two inch plank
matched and grooved, nine feet long by
six and one half feet wide, and covered
with very heavy canvass and upholstered
to the thickness OF three or four inches.
The table works on strong frame which
is firmly fastened TO the floor. II is ope-
rated by a screw which is attached TO a
handle in the rear, where the operator is
out of all danger when working it
The table is supplied with neck strap
at each end. Attached also 10 the table
are three heavy girths which go round the
body. This easy and quick mode OF buckl-
ing and unbuckling is very advantageous
especially when the horse is being freed
from the table after an operation.
The table is also supplied with four hob
bles which are fastened to roller by
chains. The hobbies go round the fetlocks
while in standing position and are drawn
up by small crank at the end of the
table,
The horse is walked along the side of
the table. while the latteris in the vertical
position. then the neck is strapped TO the
table. the three girts are properly placed
snd huckled around the body, and lastly
the hobbies are buckled around the fet-
locks in the position the horse stands
naturally thereby not exciting him in the
least. The horse being thus fastened TO
the table while in standing position the
operator steps back and turns the crank in
the rear, bringing the table into a horizon
tai position with the horse on it firmly
strapped Then by winding the small
crank (Which is supplied with a racket
the feet are brought to their respective
places on the table. The horse is now
ready for operation. The advantages
which it possesses are many, not the least
of which is the fact that it does away with
the danger of throwing" a horse.

INCANDESCENT LIGHTS.
The First Experiment Last Night a Success
The Largest Plant in the state.

/
Without a word of warning the incan-
descent lights commenced to give service
last night and the night-workers in a
moment rejolced and were exceedingly
glad. For long, dreary weeks-and, in
/ fact months-they have fondly hoped to
/ be given the additional accommodations
and at times have become almost des-
! pendent over the prospects. Its arrival
was, perhaps, all the more hailed with JOY
/ because of the long suspense. Some of
the stores were brilliantly lighted up and
in others all the globes were not giving
service as immediate connections had not
been made.
The incandescent lighting dynamo is a
thousand-lighter and on the circuit
to which it was attached were eight hum
dred lights Over twelve hundred lights
have been put in. A dynamo with d ca
paclty of six hundred and fifty lights will
be introduced TO the service this evening.
There are orders in for three more which
will be put in as rapidly as possible. The
plant was mapped out for five thousand
lighting capacity. Two more dynamos,
each having a capacity of six hundred
and fifty lights, are expected to arrive in
fevNdays which will give the plant light
ing capacity Of twenty-nine hundred and
fifty.
The Western Electric construction COM
pany commenced work on the plant in
January. The manager of the com
pany, Mr. Maurice E. Bates Of Kansas
City, is in the city to witness the
start and expressed himself quite well
satisfied with the experiment of las; night.
The work has been superintendent by Mr..
f. NJ Reed, and so far over eleven miles OF
wire used on the streets. which excludes
the wire used in the buildings. II IS ex-
pected that the company will be ready 10
commence work on residences by the first
Of August.
Experiments will be made until Satur-
day evening, when the regular service will
commence The first week incandescent
lights will give service from p. ID. until 3
a. m, and after that time all day and night
service The plant will be operated thirty
days by the construction company and
then turned over to the Citizens Electric
company.
The Citizens plant is now the largest
plant in the state. In the arc light de-
partment there are nine dynamos which |
means a capacity Of go lights. Have five |
boilers Of 100 horse power each and six en- !
gines with 4S0 horse power.
In addition 10 the machinery used by the /
company for lighting is the 80 horse power |
engi BE and 100 horse power dynamo OF the |
Wichita & Suburban electric railway. 1t /
fu finishes the entertainment for the spec |
tators by pulling hammers out the hands 4
and snatcning watches out of the pockets. /

Marriage Licenses.

Our readers will remember that about the
first of June we spoke about the mixed con
dition of the law relating to letting the
Justices of the Peace have marriage licenses
for sale. We think that the matter is about
settled and the Clerk ofthe Peace will, by
instruction Of the court, or rather by the
advices of the Judges of the court, appoint
agents to dispose of the licenses. That is,
the Clerk of the Peace in Kent county will
or has appointed two agents one al Smyrna
and the other at Milford. who will have these
licenses on hand for sale. We understand
that Mr.. Cahail will appoint Esquire Cooper
of Smyrna, and Esquire Fowler of Milford,
agents. The Clerk of the Peace in Sussex
county, We suppose, will appoint squire at
Seaford and one in Baltimore hundred. We
hope that this arrangement can be made be-
cause it will greatly accommodate the people.

About his Brother.

Several years ago my brother, who live:
with me had a very strange sore to break
out, on his leg-about half way between the
body and the knee-which afterwards de.
veloped into rose cascer 1t resulted from
bruise made by the rubbing of the stirrup-
leather while riding
The cancer continued to grow until it was
about five inches long, and three wide. The
flesh sloughed off, black, rotten and foul,
and it was almost impossible to procure a
servant that would wait upon him, the air in
the room where he lay being so foul that it
would sicken anyone who entered. Every
physician of any prominence in the State
was consulted, and treated my brother with
out success. One doctor finally advised him
to try Swift's Specific IS. S. S. he did so,
and used nothing else. He commenced to
improve Immediately, and after taking
several bottles was completely cured, and
since 1884 not a symptom Of the disease has
manifested itself c. A. GRIFFITH,

THE mystery surrounding the disRp-
pearanee and the whereabouts OF Rev.
A. w. Lightbourne, from Port Ches-
ter, New York has been explained by
one of his church members meeting
him in the Girard House. in Philadel-
phia.On Saturday last. lie refused to
recognize the gentleman, who imme-
diately communicated with Light
bourne's brOther-in-Iaw in New York,
who took steps to find him. On Sat
urday night when LighIbOurne again
entered the Girard House lie was ac-
cnsted by detective. The NeW York
Herald says:
He at first denied his identity, but George
E. Bacon, an old friend of Mr.. Lightbourne,
identified him He was taken back to New
York by his brother.iu-law, Mr.. Middleton,
who is connected with the Atchinson, Topeka
and Sante Fe Railroad Company. The ReY.
A. w. Lightbourne, since his disappearance
from home, had not been heard from, and his
wife, nearly crszed with grief took her two
children and returned to the home Of her
husbands father, who is also minister at
Litchfeld, Conn. Before he started for home
he played several games of billiards aud
smoked cigarettes. When asked how he
managed to live without any money, he re-
piled that he had been writing for news
papers anS had made considerable money.
Mr.. Lightbourne readily recognized his
brother-in-law and greeted him very cordi-
ally. Mr.. Middleton told the clergyman
that he was going to return home on the four
O'Clock train, and would be pleased to have
his company. Mr.. LightboSrne readily
agreed to accompany him. Il have not
spoken to him about his absence, " said Mr..
Middleton, land do not intend to. His
brain seems perfectly clear now, although
during the time since his disappearance il
has evidently been blank. Mr.. Bacon says
he first met Mr. Iightbourne at the Girsrd
House and bowed to him, bat Mr.. Light
