NIGHT.

Come with thine unveiled worlds, truth OF
night,
Come with thy calm. Adown the shallow
day,
Whose splendors hid the vaster world away,
/ wandered on this little plot Of light,
A dreamer among dreamers. Yelled or bright,
Whether the gold shower rooted me or the
gray,
strove and fretted at life's feverish play,
And dreamed until the dream seemed infinite.
But now the gateway Of the all unbars;
The passions and the cares that beat so
shrill,
The giants of this petty world. disband;
On the great threshold Of the night stand,
Once more soul self cognizant and still.
Among the wheeling multitude Of Gfars.

The Incandescent Lamps.

Council has not yet fixed the price for
the incandescent electric lights, but it is
thought that at first the rate will be
thirty cents each per month for lamps of
sixteen candle power, larger lamps being
in proportion, and a suitable reduction
being made where anumber of lights are
used. Compared with the prices paid
elsewhere, this is an exceedingly low
rate, and ought to insure very large
number of the lights being taken. The
cost of wiring in is put at $3.50 per light
and each7burner, calculated to burn 60C
hours, costs 70 cents. The wiring in
price, to layman, seems absurdly high,
and ought to be reduced The rental OF
thirty cents is experimental, and will be
changed as the cost of production may
warrant. Thirty cents for sixteen candle
power is as cheap as oil anyway.

A CASE OF INTEREST.
The Suit Of W. ]. Berry Against Henry
Neuhart

The Suit of W. J. Berry Against Henry
Neahart
The case of w. J. Berry against Henry
Neuhart, which was heard in Common
Pleas Court on Saturday and Monday,
attracted considerable attention from
certain side issues which it involved. Mr..
Berry brought suit to recover 5000 from
Neuhart, which the plaintiff claimed was
due him on contract for building a
bridge in Mead township, but in which
the defendants name appeared as the
the contractor, although in reality, as
was alleged, the contract belonged to the
plaintiff. Neuhart had drawn The mon
ey and had pocketed it. According to
Neuhart's story he did not claim this
money was his, but held it as an offset to
certain other contracts which he alleges
Berry took in Neuhart's name while he
Berry was Commissioner. In all such
contracts Neuhart says in his testimony
that Berry used his name without leave,
but at another time in his testimony ad-
mits that he knew or gave Berry permis-
sion to use his name 1t is claimed that
Berry took contracts in Neuhart's name
and paid the latter $500 a day for per-
forming the work. Neuhart now claims
that if he was really the contractor, that he
was entitled to all the money in the case
instead $500 day, which he received,
and he held the the $500 on that account.
As far as Berry is concerned, the suit
deals only with the last contract which
was taken after he had relinquished the
Office of Commissioner.
The jury returned verdict for the de-
fendant and Berry is out of his $500
which he claims. Allegations of crook
edness were made by the defense which
admit of hearing on both sides. 1t was
claimed that Berry, while Commissioner,
was the principal in contracts in which
Neuhart bid, and if such were true the
contract would be illegal. If this allega-
tion were true, it does not necessarily i'm
ply any dishonesty, but 1t would show a
technical evasion of the law which would
not be permissible. Whether anything
more comes of the case or not it will
serve as a warning to any in the future
who might attempt to use their oflicia
position to secure contracts, even though
another man appeared as the real con
tractor.

The New Street Lights.

The new lights are giving excellent
satisfaction. Since the globes have been
put on, the lights have been steady. large
and luminous. The streets have been
brilliantly lighted. The sudden fash-up
all over town of an evening is very like a
city, and is speedier though not half so
picturesque as the one white horse outfit
of the late streetlighter, Mr.. Chas
Thompson. The musical sing of the
burners is quite cheerful too, and re-
minds one of summer nights and huge
June bugs in the room. On the whole,
the light is completely successful, where
ever the globes have been put on.
But several lights are yet without
globes, and consequently there is dark
ness at certain points. The contract
provides that the town shall not accept
the plant until after thirty days of sue
