CONTRACT FOR LIGHTS SIGNED.
The City VIII Have to Pay Nearly $50, 200
Per Annum Therefor.

The Council Committee on Electric
Light met at the Upper gas-works last eve
ming with the City Attorney and Superin-
tendent of the Gas-Works to pass upon
the contract for. lighting the city by cleo
tricity for the next two years. Chairman
Courtney presided, and the other members
present were Messrs. Bowden, Carter.
Glover. Mann. and Trower.
Mr.. Wyndham II. Meredith. counsel for
the Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany, and Captain Andrew PizzinI, Jr.,
were present on behalf of the company.
The contract which had already been
drawn by City.Attorney Meredith. was
taken up by sections for approval. The
first section upon which dispute arose was
that referring to the use of mast-arms. TO
which MIR. Meredith on the part of the
company raised objection. The City At
torney suggested clause whereby mast
arms were to be used wherever required by
the committee and lights TO be hung IN the
centre of the streets wherever required, all
other lights TO be upon single poles. On
motion Of Mr. Mann, the amendment of
fered by the City Attorney was accepted.
IN CASE OF FAILURE.
Another point upon which discussion
arose was what should be done in the
event of the failure of the company to
fulfil its contract. The original paper was
changed so as to read: "Should such
failure to burn proceed from fire. un-
avoidable accident. or from the act or God
then said company shall forfeit such pro-
portion of the price paid for such lights as
the time Of such failure to burn bears to
the total number of hours said lights
should have burned, but If such failure
proceeds from cutting of Of current, or
other intentional failure on the part OF
the company, then the said company shall
forfeit its bond or such amount thereof as
the city. by its Council, shall determine.
and In either case the company shall have
the street-lamps where such failure occurs
lighted by its own agents and pay the
costs of the labor for such service until the
electric lamps are again put in operation" ="
Mr.. Bowden moved the adoption OF this
section, which action was taken.
PRICE OF ADDITIONAL LIGHTS.
The contract further stipulates that ad-
ditional lights desired by the city shall be
furnished by the company at the contract
price. II was also settled that the COM
mittee only had power to award the con:
tract until February 8. 1894. the ending OF
the fiscal year in this department.
In reply TO q question. superintendent
Adams. OF the gas-works, stated that the
cost of lighting the city under the new
plan would be S49.270.
The vote was then taken on the paper as
amended and it was adopted, only Mr..
Mann voting against IL. On motion. the
chairman was authorized to sign the con-
tract with Mr.. q. L. Fisher as treasurer OF
the company.
Mr.. Adams was instructed to locate the
500 lights. subject to the approval OF the
committee. Adjourned.

BOTH MUST HANG TO-DAY.
The Governor Declines to Respite Mar
garet tLashIey-Reward offered.

The counsel for Margaret Lashley, the
negro woman TO be executed at Danville
to-day for the murder of her husband, were
before the Governor yesterday urging cle-
mency in behalf of his client.
The negro man Lyles. who ia also under
sentence OF death for being connected
with the murder, recently confessed that
the woman was not guilty. This statement
was urged upon the Executive as reason
for his interference, but he declined to
take any action at all.
Preparing for the Execution.
The DIsPATcH's special from Danville
last night saws:
There was much speculation here
to-day as TO what Governor Nckln-
ney would do i'll the case of Mar
garet Lashley. Some people believed
that the Governor would pardon the
condemned woman. Others that he
would grant q reprieye, and Others still
that he would not interfere. To the COM
munity at large, however, the Goyernor's s
decision was no surprise, as 1t is generally
believed that the woman Is equally guilty
with her paramour. 1t is said that Lyles
is genuinely in love with Margaret, and
Sergeant Roisseau believes that his affec-
tion for the woman prompted him to make
one last effort to save her.
BOTH PREPARED.
"Lyles is very nervous tonight, but the
woman is perfectly composed and seems to
be entirely prepared for her fate. The
colored population have been greatly ex-
cited to-day. and hundreds of them have
hung about the jail. The gellows has been
put in position and large crowd of peo-
pie went TO the jail-yard to-day and looked
at it. Lyles saw the crowd through the
iron grating OF his cell and preached ser
mon, declaring that his sins bad been for
given and that he would soon be in glory"
Reward offered.
The Governor has offered O reward Of
one hundred and fifty dollars for the ar
rest and delivery in the Jail of Bucking-
ham county of John Jackson alias John
Fisher alias DR.. Harding who. on the night
of January 14th of this year, killed William
j. Jones. of said county.
