MORE LIGHJ.

The agent employed by the Gov
/ eminent to procure the various arti-
I cles required for the additions TO our
electric light system, authorized by
the legislature, has completed his
work.and the greater part of the plant
IS already here. When the additions
70 the present street light system are
al in working order, the number OF
lamps VIII be about doubled. The
nominal capacity at the present time
IS sixty-two lamps. but the number
actually in use Is only ffty-fve or
six. The two additional arc light
dynamos lately received have a
united capacity Of sixty lamps, and
the number which Will be used will
be ifty-fve. One Of these dynamos is
already set up and ready for work,
and the other viii be in few days.
The work Of putting up the lamps.
stretching the wires, and making
the necessary connections will re-
quire q little time longer.
The additional lamps will be used,
partly for extending the benefits Of
electric lighting to considerably
larger area than now enjoys it, and
partly for improving the ilLumina-
ton Of that portion Of the town al
ready supplied. Experience has
shown that the present lamps are, in
many instances, too far apart to
properly illuminate the intervening
spaces. This is owing largely to the
number OF trees and the density Of
their foliage. the shadows cast seem
ing all the blacker. and the sur
rounding gloom authe more impen-
etrable. from the brilliant glare just
beyond. It Is intended TO put lamps
where they VIII, 50 far as posi-
bic, light up these dark pockets,
and render travel at night both
pleasanter and safer than it is at
present. 4 large part of the poles
for the lamps are already up, as our
readers have doubtless noticed.
n the matter Of the incandescent
light outfit, the Government has
been quite fortunate. The order
was for two iucandescent light dyna-
mos Of six hundred and fifty lamp
capacity each. and thirteen hundred
lamps with sockets and other fix
lures complete. Owing TO competi-
ton of two rival companies. two
thousand lamps have been procured
for the sum which was expected to
purchase thirteen hundred. These
have all been received, with wires
and other material required. also
large supply OF carbons for the arc
lights. The two incandescent dyna-
mos ara yet 10 arrive. but viii in al
probability be here by the time they
are required for use. The incandes-
cent lamps are OF the usual stan
udLu- hLCNA d. =-AlECA Cd4ulG
power.
These lamps viii be used. so far
as they may be required, for light
ing the public buildings and offices.
and the remainder viii be rented out
to such private parties as may de-
sire to be supplied with electric
light from the Government plant.
So far as we are aware, the rates to
be charged have not yet been de
cided upon. Should the prices be
as they certainly should
be, on grounds both Of equity and
policy, there can be no doubt that a
great many people viii be glad to .
avail themselves Of the opportunity. f.
The advantages Of the electric light .
over that furnished by coal oil are so (
decided, that the latter must be, to
considerable extent, superseded.

An Old Woman Thought to BE Her Living
i'm Niles, Mich.
NILES, Mich, Sept 2S-Mrs Bender, Of
the notorious Kansas family of that name.
is said to he living in this town. The
Benders-John Bender and his wife and
their daughter Kate-lived in a sparsely
settled part of Kansas years ago and are
known to have murdered many chance
passengers for their money and buried
their bodies. The murders form
one of the most sensational chapters in
the history Of American crime. The
woman supposed to be Mrs. Bender has
been a wanderer all her life. She has had
many husbands and many temporary
homes. She has lived here about ten
years, but claims she was here at the
time of the Kansas murders. She says
she rented a house of Judge Fish here
nineteen years ago, but the Judges
books show that it was between ten and
eleven years ago. She comes and goes,
no one knows where, and pretends to be
peddling. A tintype OF the suspected
woman sent to man named Cole in New
York. who knew the Benders and was at
their home in Kansas two weeks before
their flight. was sent back with
this reply, 'This picture is an exact like
ness of Mrs. Bender" Oee sent to L B.
Smith. of Parsons. Kan, was recognised
as Mrs Bender.
The discovery that Mrs. Bender was liv.
ing here is said to have been m ade by the
merest chance in Kansas.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 2L-At Gene
gie's Edgar Thomson steel works at Brad
dock last night furnace &C" one Of the
largest Of the blast furnaces, had not been
working properly during the day and
Captain w. R. Jones' general manager Of
the works called to see il he could not as
certain the cause and was working with q
number of men near the base of the fur
mace when the bottom gave way and in an
instant flames Of fire shot forth. Tons of
the molten metal poured over the furnace
and that any person near the furnace es-
capped instant death is regarded as a mir
acle. ~ $50 u.
The injured are: Captain Jones, gen.
eral manager, horribly burned; Michael
Quinn, twenty-five. so badly burned that
his flesh peeled of with his clothes and he
can live only few hours; John Mokske.
badly burned about the body, but not ia.
tally; Captain Ned Quinn, burned about
arms and chest will recover. Two or
three other workmen are in charge of the
company's physicians and may not re.
cover. -tg
The 5000 workmen at the Edgar Thorn.
son steel works and hundreds Of people in
Braddock are deeply grieved because OF
the injury which Captain Jones received.
He is we'll known throughout the United
States and Europe wherever steel and iron
are manufactured. He receives salary
of $25 600 per year and a percentage on
the product of the large mill, making his
income almost 900 year. 1t was he
who took 800 men to Johnstown at his own
expense couple Of days after the flood
and remained there two weeks directing
the work of rescue.
Michael King. a Hungarian. was pres
emit when the seething mass poured out Of
the furnace, and as he can not be found il
is feared that he has been covered up.
About six car loads of the molten metal
poured out of the break.
