Electric Lights.

We had the pleasure Of a call from
one Of the old citizens Of Iberia parish,
and, in the course of the interview,
learned the following in reference to
the electric lights to be in operation
there within fortnight.
The company is composed of local
capitalists with the Hon. Jos. A. Breaux,
our superintendent of public schools, as
president. Cash capital for the plant
$4,000. EddisOn electric lights are to
be used, and 600 lights will be put into
immediate use.
The town Of New Iberia takes for
lighting her streets, 40 lights at 81 90
per month each. In other words, the
enterprising town viii be lit up with 40
lights. burning all night, every night.
for $3.50 per year; or less money than is
now paid for few old street lamps.
This will give an approximate idea Of
the cost to Lake Charles. II 40 lights
are taken at $l.OO each, per month. an
hundred could probably be had for
75 cents per month each. Rest assured
it will be profitable investment for the
company. Hon. J. A. Breaux, and those
with him in this enterprise, never invest
in an improbable undertaking.

Associated Press Dispatches.


SAN Francisco, Dec. S.-The congress

Colonel Bee, Chinese vlce-consul. fur
nished statistics concerning the arrival
and departure of Chinese at this port,
and said there were over %, 900 certifi-
Gates outstanding when the Scott act
was passed, that were held by Chinese
who never returned here. Since the
passage of the Scott act the excess of de-
partures over arrivals has been about
$4,000. When questioned by Congress
man Stump as to the discrepancy be-
tween his figures and those of Collector
Hagar, witness stated that the consul
ate kept track of departures in transit,
which he thought was not done by the
collector of customs, and which would
account for the excess of his figures over
those of the collector. The returns made
by the custom house were produced.
however, and showed that a record of
departures in transit had been kept.
Consul Bee said he had received his re-
turns for twelve years past from the
agents OF the steamship companies.
Witness said the Chinese six companies
were purely benevolent associations and
never brought out men from China or
contracted for labor. The companies do
arbitrate Chinese cases, but never use
intimidation or violence. He thought
it likely that debtors may have been
held prisoners by the six companies for
the payment Of debts, but believed there
were few abuses of this system. Wit
ness said there were 1900 highbinders in
this country who have no possible means
OF support, and he believed their socie-
ties could be broken up if the police ex-
ercised due vigilance.

At a meeting of the county horticul-
tural commissioners held on Saturday,
II. F. Dalton was appointed inspector
for the Azusa, and w. H. Evans for
Downey and vicinity. Inspector w. H.
Miller, of Glendora, was requested to
resign.
The commissioners last Wednesday
visited the orchard of S. Mckinley and
found it in excellent condition. f. O,
Cass's place was next inspected. The
red scale was found to have increased to
an alarming extent. The owner has con-
cluded that "the twice-stabbed lady
bug" is failure as an exterminator of
the scale and has had the trees pruned
and sprayed. An adjoining orchard,
which at one time was in much worse
condition than Cass's, has been sprayed
twice and is now in fine condition, all
things considered.
The commissioners will visit Pasadena
on Thursday.

Details OF the blowing up on Novem-
Der I'd, of the government powder mills
at Tai Ping Foo, are meager, but agree
in stating that 300 lives were lost, and
all the houses in the vicinity wrecked.
Fifty persons are said to have been at
work in the mills at the time of the ac-
cident, and OF their remains only two
limbs have been found. The cause of
the explosion is unknown.
One-half of the city OF Pa Chow, in the

the Wenchow sank almost Immediately,
while the Toonan had to be beached to
keep her from sinking.
Crops in the north of China are on

is said to be in bad condition.
The Eastern Steam Whaling COM
pany's steam whaler Nautilus arrived at
Yokohama Nov. 10th, with 1871 seal
skins. after six months cruise in
Okhotsk sea. Whaling was unusually
poor, the Nautilus and the Russian

one. The Swedish sealing schooner

SQUARE YARDS.

II the Conemaugn River and Iron street would
be widened and changed as per the proposed
plan, the area OF street from Lincoln bridge to
the stone bridge would be for the city 3,54s
square yards, and for the Street Railway Com
pany 1886 square yards, changing the whole
total l,1S6 square yards. Respectfully sub
mltted. JOHN DowNEY, City Engineer.
1t will be seen that the streets mention.
ed in the engineeIs's paper are those oyer
which the street railway is to be laid ; and
as the street ear company lis obliged to
pave and keep in repair the space between
its tracks and eighteen inches outside of
the rails, it is important that the material
be decided upon at once
The amount of brick required, accord
ing to the above estimate is 2,S44 7S0,
which at the price stated-$1S per thous-
and-would cost S67, ,20G.04. or this the
clty's share would cost $29, ,286. 80, and
the street car company's share $21, ,919.6S.
This, however, does not inc.ude the cost
of laying the brick.

Danielson, aged IL, and Alex. Anderson,
aged II, were arrested last night on com.
plant of the mother of Charles B. Howe,
a delicate 10-year-old lad, charging them
with acts rivaling those perpetrated by
Jesse PomeroY.
1t is alleged that the boys took Howe
into an clubhouse, stuck pins into nearly
every part of his anatomy, poured boil.
ing water upon him, burned his face
with powder, and, after vainly endeavor.
ing to push him into the vault, left him
insensible, and he was afterward found
unconscious.
