Mayor Grants War Against the Electro
Itoht rop,na,ias

Mayor Grants War Against the Electric
Light Companies.
New York, April 17th.-The wires came
down with swish and a rush upon the
cobblestones on Broadway this morning.
In every direction, as far as the eve could
reach, were gangs of men hacking and cut
ting. Contractors had their hands full in
keeping the venturesome pedestrians and
drivers of vehicles from being crushed
under the falling poles. The Brush Com
pany and United States Electric Light Com
pany have at last awakened TO the fact
that the Mayor means business, and it
dawned upon them to-day that miles on
miles of fine copper wire was worth saving.
They will strip everything along the pro-
posed route of destruction. They have al
ready taken down about sixty poles and
several miles of wire.
At the offices of the different companies
this morning every body looked glum. At
the United States office they predict that
electric lighting has received its death blow.
1t costs $500 to stretch mile of wire over
head they said, and it will now cost SO, 600
to lay mile OF wire underground. In ad-
dition to this, the company has to make its
own connections from subways to houses,
and separate to each building. They think
the increased charge necessltated by the
heavy outlay will make it hard TO compete
with the gas companies.
Tonight in the upper portion of the city,
from Fourteenth street to Fifty-ninth
street, it is still shrouded in darkness, on
account of Mayor Grants war ON the over
head wires. Fifth-avenue was entirely
black from Twentieth to Fifty ninth streets;
Broadway, from Fourteenth to Twenty
ninth, and also the principal cross town
streets in that district. There are few
gaslights burning.

KELLY GETS HIS DESERTS.
Judge Lawler Gives Him the Full Extent
of the Law.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17th.-James Kel-
ley, the young ruffian who assaulted Josie
Sailines of 1911 Stockton street, recei we'd
his just deserts this morning from Judge
Lawler. The girl was in search of employ
ment. and on Saturday last Kelly repre-
sented to her that if she accompanied him
to Black Point he would obtain work for
her in silk factory. She went with him,
and when they reached a lonly spot he
knocked her down, evidently for the pur-
pose of making a criminal assault. The
unfortunate girl screamed loudly for help,
and when two ladies who chanced to hear
her cries ran to her assistance, she was
nearly insensible from the kicks and
blows he administered to her. Kelly then
ran off. and although he was chased for
several blocks by crowd of citizens he
managed to escape. A warrant was subse-
quently issued for his arrest for battery,
and he was caught by policeman Hen
neberry. He pleaded guilty in the hope of
receiving a light sentence, but was disap-
pointed. however. for Judge Lawler sem
fenced him this morning to six months
imprisonment in the County Jail and to
pay fine of 81 900, with an alternative of
1000 days additional imprisonment The
penalty imposed is the heaviest allowed by
law for battery.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
A Trial of the British Archer Gunboats
Not q Success.

a Trial OF the British Archer Gunboats
Not Success.
WASHINGTON, April 17th.-The recent re-
ports of the maneuvers of the British naval
fleet contains some matter not entirely re-
assuring, with respect to some of our new
naval vessels. In these maneuvers, about
six vessels of the Archer type, participated.
The result was disagreeable surprise. 1t
was found that in moderately heavy sea
they were very poor gunboats. The plat
forms, to use technical expression, which
means the guns, were so unstable that they
could not be directed with any approach to
accuracy of fire. They were also very wet
ships. These defects are supposed to re-
suit from the excessive weight of the ord
nance, and it was recommended that the
six-inch be replaced by five-inch guns and
the anchors moved further apart. The sig
nlhcaDce OF this report TO naval officers
here lies in the fact that the new gunboat
orktown Is patterned after the Archer
type, and will carry the same caliber and
weight of ordnance
Failure has also attended the efforts of
the British constructors to build twenty
knot ships, of which the Navy Department
here is attempting to build two under di.
rection of an Act of Congress. The Medea,
which was built for twenty-knot ship,
has never exceeded nineteen knots, but has
developed more than the estimated horse
power, an indication TO constructors here
that it is not possible to drive vessel of
that length at twenty knots.
The British authorities have taken the
same view, and will build another set of
these boats of greater length. Other ves-
sells of the same type have failed to develop
anything like the necessary 5000 horse
power, so that the promise of success for
our boats is not bright.

WASHINGTON, April 17th.-The Postoffice
Department has rescinded the order issued
during the last Administration, having for
lis object the encouragement of the prac-
tice by train men of carrying special news
paper correspondence and other mail mat
ter in other than mail trains 1t is said at
the department there is very large num-

which have meager telegraphic facilities.
In many of these villages the pest and tel
graph offices close early. and to prohibit
train men from carrying to neighboring
towns or cities small packages that contain
possibly Information of the highest general
importance, is regarded as being unwise
and unjust. The newspapers of the coun-
try, it is maintained, should receive every
possible facility for obtaining and dissen-
mating the news, and to this end the train
men should be encouraged to lend all the
aid possible.
