The Electric Light Board Discusses some

was held last night, but since the meet.
ing it is not 30 sure whether it is com.
mission. Those present were: NIessrs.
Eenney, Farrell, Hamilton, schultze
shaffer, Franzheim, Craig and Tracy.
Secretary Franzheim read the resolu-
tion under which the commission was
sppointed, and the question at once
arose as to whether the commission has
any right to exist under the circum.
stances.
Mr.. Farrell and Mr.. Tracy held that
the resolution as worded and under.
stood in the First Branch meant tthatthe
Committee on Lights as at present con.
stituted should only remain part OF the
commission until the new Council takes
hold, and that the new committee shall
take its place. Under that view, Mr..
Tracy did not caro- 10 take any part in
the proceedings, prefsrriug to allow the
new committee TO start in unhampered
by anything the existing committee
might do.
The other members understood the
resolution to mean that the Trustees are
personally specified as a commission,
and when Mr.. Tracy moved to refer the
resolution back 10 Council with a re-
quest to be more specific, it was defeated,
only receiving three votes.

Between Party OF Greeks and Americans.
ABloody Fight.
CHICAGO, jan. 10.-DuriDg small riot
which took place at an early hour this
morning at the corner Of Harrison and
Clinton streets, two young men, Law
renee Casey and Richard Caskens, re-
ceived injuries from which they will
probably die, and over dozen others
we're badly hurt. Casey and Caskens
we're driving along Harrison street in q
buggy when they encountered crowd
OF Greeks near the corner oil Clinton
street. The Greeks reiuseds to get out
OF the road Of tho horse, and a violent
alteration ensued. The Greeks jumped
up into the buggy and attacked the
young men with knives. Caokens and
Casey drew their revolvers aud fred
right aud left. The Greeks, however,
succeeded in wrestling away their revol;
vers and it began to look as II the young
men would be killed outright, when the
patrol wagon loaded with police dashed
upon the scene.
When the iDiuriated and drunken
Greeks beheld the approach OF the police
they rushed into a house on the corner
and barricaded the door. Caskens and
Casey, each having q dozen wounds,
were picked up by the police and sent to
the hospital, while Lieutenant Cosgrove
prepared to storm the dwelling in which
the Greeks had entrenched themselves.
A heavy Hcantling was secured, and amid
the hoTla and yells OF the Greeks the
officers battered down the door. A ter.
ribe hand.to.haud struggle then took
place in the hail. 1t took just ten min
tites, however, to clean out the crowd,
and when the melee was over eighteen
Greeks, stunned aud bleeding from the
police clubs, were thrown into the patrol
wagon aad taken of to the station.
