The Italian government is very much
interested in the wholesale lynching whic.
took place in New Orleans on Saturday.
There will be much work for the state de-
partment, and, perhaps, a heavy bill OF
damages to pay, as three of those who were
lynched were citizens of Italy. But if it is
shown beyond doubt that all who wert
lynched were members of the Malta, Italy
ought to be willing to pay New Orleans
something for putting an end to Jheii
career of murder.

that the plaintiff was married 10 Emil Weber in

court awarded the wife IS 900 alimony, In lieu of
her interest in her husbands real property.

judgment and was afterwards redeemed by

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Discussion Over the Electric Light Re-
port.

port.
The house of delegates convened last night
with President Jones and Delegates Furry, Bag
ley, Barnes, Lansing, Hanford, Cowden, Barton,
Hart, Morford and Willis in attendance.
Mr.. Bagley presented q petition from the
Puget Sound d Alaska Steamship Company for
a railroad spur from a point near Columbia
street where 1t intersects the westerly track now
laid upon Railroad avenue, thence southerly
along Railroad avenue to point where Yesler
wharf is intersected by the avenue, thence
along the dock The petition represents that on
account OF the want of shipping facilities they
are compelled to import coal for their steamer
at an expense of s. per ton besides IS cents per
ton for duty; this, as they say, withdrawing
from circulation here more than 1880 per
month. The spur viii enable them to use
domestic coal. 1t was referred to the street
committee.
The committee on street lighting reported in
favor of the city owning the electric plant, and
that the question of issuing bonds be submitted
to the voters at the next general election; also
that the bid of the General Electric Company
for lighting the city in the meantime, be
adopted.
Mr.. Hanford said he was informed that the
city need not issue bonds A plant could be
had for $4,000 and the city could get two years
time for payment.
Mr.. Barnes said IL would take six months to
get the plant in, and the committee did not ap-
prove OF owning plant to be run by machinery
owned by Others. The s3o,0O0 would only pay
for the plant, not poles or engines.
There was considerable objection both to issu-
ing bonds and to the high price demanded by
the company. Mr.. Barnes reminded them that
a contract could not be made for more than a
year. The city must either buy its own plant or
pay somebody else to do it. Mr.. Willis and Mr.
Bagley declared the price to be at least double
that charged individuals, but Mr. Bagley said no
company would go to the expense OF poles, etc.,
on one years contract. Mr.. Bagley read the
charter to show that the council had the right to
fix the rate. Mr.. Jones pointed out that the
adoption Of a system In the location of lights
would result in effectlng saving.
Mr.. Barnes said ii was useless waste Of time
to refer the report back; the company said il
could not light the city on less terms than it had
offered in its bid.
Mr.. Bagley said they knew they were being
chsrged an exOrbitant rate as compared with
other cities and even with other companies in
this city. He was in favor Of exercising the
power granted by the charter.
The matter went over till next meeting
When the report in favor of an amendment to
the water rules, requiring payment by the 10th
inst, was read, Mr.. Bagley said the retrench-
ment movement had gone little too far in the
water department. 1t was impossible to get
around 10 every consumer TO read his meter by

The Day of Atenement.

The Day OF Atonement, or Yom Kippur, was
generally observed by the Hebrews of Seattle
Yesterday All day the synagogue was full of
devout worshipers, who carried out the ritual
observed for generations among the ancient
race The special feature OF tho service was the
singing of a fine choir of splendid voices, who
had been trained in the Hebrew melodies by
Rabbi Brown. Often, however, the whole con-
creation would Join in some OF the more
sacred chants, aud the effect was exceedingly
impressive. The service was divided into three
parts, morning, midday snd afternoon and
when the evening star appeared and night fall
came, the great shofar, or horn. was sounded,
the people broke their fast of twenty-four
hours, returned TO their homes and felt the sat
isfsction of having kept the day as nearly as
they could to the manner prescribed by Jewish
law. Rabbi Browns sermon delivered about
noon WAS . we'll digested effort on the solemnity
o. the occasion and the beauty Of charity and
was listened 10 with marked attention.
