/ The estimates contemplate manholes on an

The cost of manholes also varies with the
size Of coEduits, ranging from $40 to $40
/ each. The figures given will in the aggregate
be found sufficiently accurate for purposes of
3 legislative determination
Accurate and exact details will necessarily
have To be prepared under the supervision Of
'ho electrical department after general plan
shall have been determined upon, with special
regard TO all the governing local conditions of
/ each section OF the city.
In determining the sizes of the respective
lines of conduits We have taken into considera-
tioh the service already provided
for by the telephone and electric
lighting companies The FIVE miles OF
conduits laid by each of these comuanies
during the year 1891 have been subject to stip.
ulations in the permits hereto appended. We

ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAYS.
Considering that only five years have elapsed
since the hrst electric street railway was laid
| in the United States, the fact that such tram
ways are operated in over 800 cities with
an aggregate of 5000 miles of such tract
[ in operation. leaves no room for doubt
as TO their future practicabiiity. The
question with them, as with the overhead wire,
tor other electrical service, as to adoption
to underground wiring is one largely o.
cost. In small cities where the traffic upor
streets is light OF upon the less populou
sections of large cities the objections to pole
aRd overhead wires are largely u matter of sen
timent In the populous sections of large citie
the same objections to overhead electric serv
ice rs apply TO telegraph and electric Light pole
and wires are tenable.
There can be no doubt of the practicabilit,
of underground wiring in the matter of cleo
trical propulsion. but 30 long the street rail
way companies can obtain the permit they vii
not fnd IT expedient to add ten thousand o.
more dollars per mile to their Investments
/ The continuous operation of an electric

but the awful hoodoo of the village OF
Plato outdoes all previous horrors. The
Millers arc young couple. The hus-
band is a shoemaker, doing fairly good
business, and the Millcrs had every rca-
son to be we'll satisfied with the world as
they found it until five weeks ago, when
Mrs. Miller gave birth to the nondescript
creature whose presence has horrlhed
the community and conferred upon the
parents an unenviablo reputation. The
Catholic residents of the village and
county are in terment of excitement as
a result of the statement made by Mrs
Miller anent happenings preceding the
birth of the monstrosity. Two months
ago. three weeks prior to Mrs. Miller's
confinement, a Jewish peddler camc to
the house selling colored oleographs OF
the crucifxion. He was told to go about
his business, but pressed his wares in
such a manner that Mrs Miller became ex-
asperated and declared that she would
Sooner Have the Devil inHer House
than the portrait of her Savior. The
full meaning of the preference she had
expressed did not dawn on the unfortun-
ate woman until she was brought face to
face with the frightful creature to which
she had given birth. This child-or, as
many persons believe, this devil-was
born with hair all over its body
nearly two inches long. The face and
hands even are not exempt; they are
similarly coated. The features are alb
solutely tlendish in expression, and the
eyes shine like two little beads from be-
meath a pair of shaggy brows. 1t has a
tail eighteen inches long. This enfant
terrible was provided at its birth with a
full set of teeth. Two short, sharp
horns protrude from the skull, and the
ciaw-like hands are furnished with claws
like those of an eagle. The feet are ex-
actly like the hoofs Of goat, and the
hair GOV, ring the body is as coarse as
goats hair, and similar in appearance.
The creature could crawl from its birth.
and, refusing the natural sustenance of
normal child Of like age, it left its
mothers side, sliding on its hands and
knees all over the house, devouring any
scraps to be found. This child devil is
now five weeks old. and has already
shown itself as ferocious beast. II
snaps savagely at the restraining hand
and the facial expression produced by
an effort to curb the tendencies of the
creature is ineXpressibly frightful.

MORE OR LESS BEEF.
Con. Niles on the Causes Which Led to
the Recent Sioux Outbreak,

the Recent Sioux Outbreak.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 24.-From
Pine Ridge a letter was received here
to-day quoting Gen. Miles on the causes
which led to the Sioux outbreak. 1t
cites Gen. Miles as saying: SIT is
simply question of more or less
beef. Given a suficicncy of
beef-and the treaty stipulations
provides there shall be enough-and we
shall, under ordinary circumstances,
have unbroken peace. Keep the sup,
ply on its present basis or decrease it
and we shall have wars which will cost
us ten thousand times more In money
alone than the value of the meat we
neglect or refuse to give. This
beef buying and issuing needs re-
vision. Under the present arrangement
congress may appropriate enough money
to buy sufiiciency, but a false eronomy
can defeat the expressed intention of
honest legislation. Last year $500
head OF cattle were purchased for and
delivered to this agency. Three thous-
and head were sent to Rosebud under
my direction. Those animals still alive
have been weighed and the average
shrinkage was found to be a little over
two hundred pounds. The Indian bu-
reau contracts for SO mauy million
pounds OF beef for each agency apd that
beef is delivered in tho fall. During
the winter the cattle lose flesh and
this loss affects the Indians. Many of
the steers die, and that also affects the
indian. The government agrees with
him to give him SO much beef per day
but it never makes good its promise.
1t purchases in the fall what would prob
ably fulfill the treaty conditions, but
when the spring arrives the rations have
OF necessity shrunk to one-half their lust
proportions. You cannot explain this
discrepancy to hungry man. He can
not eat what was available last October.
but which has since vanished into thin
air. You will zee that up to this time
ann there has been only the
mildest kind of weather-the shrink
age on beef for two agencies
amounts to more than 100000 pounds.
This shrinkage can be avoided consider
! ably. Instead of allowing contractors
to supply what are known as Through
cattle" shipped directly from the south
ern states, the Indian bureau should in
sist on being supplied only with those
animals that had spent at least one win
ter in these higher ATTITUDES After
the first winter there is but little loss,
for the beeves have become acclimatcd.
This beef business lie at the root of the
whole trouble. Congress did not i'm
prove matters in the least by further
diminishing the supply to the extent of
Sl.oo0,oo0 pounds. Give the Indian the
beef he is entitled to and We will have
peace.''

Immcnsp Avalanche Of snow.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga Quebec spe-
clal says: An immense avalanche of
snow fell last night from the cliff on the
plains of Abraham into Champlain street,
half mile from the scene Of the disas-
trous slide OF 1859, which caused the
death OF fifty-two people. The avalanche
occurred at the very spot where SINH
lar Slide fifteen winters ago demolished
two houses and killed seven people. The
houses were never rebuilt on the cliff
side of the street, as the fatal disaster of
1876 would have been repeated, for snow
last night filled the street to the depth
OF 20 feet and smashed in the fronts of
four houses on the opposite side of the
street, partly demolishing them.
