amendments could injure the franchise
and would vote for them.
Mayor Gregory why don't you
make motion to adopt them ?"
Trustee Wolf-"Make it yourself; it is
y6ur own matter"
Mayor Gregory-"I cannot. l have a
motion to reconsider already before the
Board"
Trustee Wolf-"Then move that these
amendments be made to the franchise"
Mayor GregOry-"I now withdraw my
motion TO reconsider"
Trustee VOLTS motion to amend was car
ried unanimously, and on motion of Trus-
tee Mclaughlin the ordinance as amended
was read twice and passed by unanimous
vote.
Mayor Gregory's motion to reconsider
the vote whereby contract had been
awarded the Central Company to light the
streets for two years, was then taken up.
Judge benson said that if the vote should
be reconsIdered he was authorized to say
that proposition would be submitted in
writing to furnish 100 electric lights more
or less for $12 so each per month.
The roll was called on the motion to re-
consider, and lost. Mayor Gregory voted
aye, and Trustees Mclaughlin and Wolf
voted no.
TALK OF AN INJUNCTION.
This settled the matter of the granting of
the franchise and letting of the contract for
lighting the streets, and the Board took
recess, after which other matters were
taken up.
1t is 1umored that the Capital Gas Com
pany intends applying for an order of Court
restraining the new company from proceed
ing under the contract made by the Board
of Trustees, On the ground that it does not
conform to the requirements published by
that body.
PROSPECTIVE LIVELY COMPETITION.
The Capital Gas Company announces
this morning that within a few weeks it
will have additional machinery in place
and be prepared to supply stores, resi-
dences and other buildings with incandes-
cent lights at low rates. This looks as if
the city were on the eve of competitive
struggle to furnish the people with an
abundance Of electric light, as the Central
Company's agents have for some days been
making canvass of the city for customers.

How the Democrats Carried the First In

Washington Special
The House committee on elections to-day
gave q hearing in the case of Francis b.
Posey against William F. Parrett In the
First district of Indiana. Parrett was
given the certificate, he having twenty ma
jority on the official returns. Mr.. Posey.
the Republican contestant, charges that
over one hundred illegal votes were ounted
for P~arrett, and presents very strong evil
dence in support of his claim. There were
twenty-eight votes cast for Parrett by the
students ut q Catholic seminary at st.
Meinrad. These students were not taxed.
nor were they required to do road work, as
in the case of every other citizen in that
county, and the contestant claims that they
were not citizens in the meaning of the
law, and that their votes were not legal
He is able to show that twenty-one resi-
dents of Kentucky came across the line
and voted the Democratic ticket. The
Democrats do not deny that fifteen Ken
tuckians voted for Parrett, but they claim
that the contestant puts the number too
high when he says that there were twenty
one of them
1t was also shown before the committee
that the votes of five minors. two insane
persons, and of one man who was so DIR INK
tina be had to be carried to the polls, were
counted for Parrett. The law of Indiana
requires that there shall be no marks on the
tickets. 1t was shown in one case that
eight tickets were punched, and in another
case two tickets were counted for Parrett.
These tickets were marked in such a way
that q person watching the voter could
easily see that he was putting in the
marked ticket.
The sworn testimony of various witnesses
showed the open purchase of votes for the
Democratic candidate. The specific sums
given vary from 81 to 600. and the details
and the names Of the men who received the
money were set out in the testimony. which
would seem to remove all doubt in the case.
This testimony is particularly interesting,
because the Democrats have been talking
SO much about the use of money by the Re-
publicans ir the election in Indiana in
1883. The Democrats are not able to show
the expenditure of any money what
,ver for the purchase OF votes by the
Republicans in this congressional dis
trict, while the Republicans present a large
number of affidavits giving all the facts in
detail of the purchase Of votes by the DEM
ocrats.

The Burnett Suicide.

Washington Post.
Mr.. Burnett has for several years been
well known in fir~e-insurance circles. and
had a host of friends and a wide range of
business and social acquaintance. He quito
recently resigned his position with the
Franklin Insurance Company, and had &C
copied q position with the Public Opinion
Company as travelling representative. leav-
ing the city on his first trip just q week
ago. He had stopped two days in Balti-
more and reached Philadelphia Friday last.
Mr.. Presbrey, manager of Public Opinion,
received a letter from him Monday, III
which he spoke encouragingly of his bust
ness, and noted his plans for the present
weeks work. Mr.. Burnett was of a happy.
genial disposition, made friends quickly
and retained them. He had been a success
full young business man and was devoted to
whatever he was engaged in, not allowing
himself to be diverted from his line of duty
by anything suggestive of fast life. While
III Washington his evenings were invari-
ably spent in the home circle. of which he
was the life. 1t Is. therefore, impossible for
his family or friends to assign any cause
for the rash act, and, as he left No letters,
it will probably never be known.

Newspapers to Raise Their Prices.

New York Letter.
A movement is on foot among the morn
ing dailies that have been sold at 2 cents-
the Sun, World and Times-to advance the
price to 3 cents. The news-dealers have
long complained bitterly of the slender
margin of profit allowed them for handling
ten. twelve and sixteen pages per day, while
the publishers have virtually been selling
the papers at less than the cost of the white
paper on which they are printed. The
yoiuminOus Sunday issues that for awhile
rstailed at 4 cents were some time ago ad-
yanced. and the public entered no protest.
The Tribune has never come down below 3
cents. and the Herald was a wear or so ago
successfully advanced from 2 To 3 cents.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6-The House COM
mittee on rules was again in session this
morning, and amended the code to CORE
spond to the action of the Republican eau
Gus yesterday afternoon. One of these
amendments. which was overlooked in the
abstract sent out last night, is Of impor-
lance, as it strikes ont of the new code the
authority conferred upon the committees
reporting general appropriation bills to
present new legislation upon appropria-
ton bills. 1t is learned that this action
was directed by the Republican caucus

Kinley were finally overcome by the oppo-
sition, under the lead of Representative
Payson. As amended, the rule is in the ex-
act shape of the corresponding rule in the
preceding House.

The first Lushai expedition of the British
was undertaken in 1871 to avenge a series
of raids upon English villages, in which
many heads had been taken, and in which,

girl was rescued uninjured. and the
natives were severely punished. Of late
within n year a band of six hundred
Lushai raided in two days twenty-four
British villages, killing several hundred
British subjects and carrying nlnety-one

eastern branch of the Lushai race. and
