The council considered the electric
light matter Monday night. They
hold a contract with the company for
eight arc lights to be placed princi-
paliy on Main street, for s68 month.
The light company finds it impossible
to secure sufficient commercial patron
age to run both the incandescent
system and an arc system, and in
order to increase their opportunities
for securing more incandescents from
private consumers they offered the
council to put in 80 incandescents,
scattered well over the town, in place
of the s arcs, for the same money.
The council, at its meeting Monday
night refused this proposition and
asked for 40 incandescents instead.
The company say they can not furnish
10 OF the lights of the power asked,
and remain in business, and if no COM
promise is reached the plant will in all
probability be pulled up and shipped
away. With what talks we have had
among our citizens We gather that at
least 10 to prefer the 33 incandes-
cents proposed by the company to the
8 arcs first contracted for. If the
council was elected to represent the
people their course is plain enough.
The people want the light plant to
remain, and they want a service that
will benefit all parts of town.

how they were marked by Secret Service

were marked Osterbus took train for

too hot for him. and he forgot all be did
know about fighting when the Australian
took what he got in good shape and gave
three times the com pliments in return.
1t would be tiresome reading to relate the
contest by rounds. McAuliffe disappointed
his most sanguine friends, who expected to
see much Improvement in him since his re-
turn from England. When boxing with bis
trainer he made very excellent impression
on his hackers and friends. who certainly
thought that ne was big and clever
enough to whip slogger of God
dard's ealiber. When in the ring and
pittcd against game man who fears not
danger. the big Mission boy is very differ
ent being, as the fight OF last night proved
beyond argument Goddard did not show
any cleverness, but what he lacked in the
art OF self-defense he made up for in hard
punching and ability TO stand punishment.
McAuliffe, with all his advantages. did
not show the least sign of dash or deter
mination. Occasionally he shot out his big
propellers at GOddard's face, but they
came so slow that the Australian
found very little trouble in ducking
them. The Californian during the mill
caught his antagonist about half
dozen blows which must have ratified God
dard's brain box. La the eighth round, near
the finish, McAuliffe hit Goddard in the
mouth and sent him groggy TO his corner.
A lew knockdOwns were had during the mill,
but IL was not until the fourteenth round,
when McAuliffe was knocked under the
ropes from the effects of quick j,b on the
chin following cIincb, that good knock
down was scored. The fifteenth round set
tied the tanners hash. After falling three
times Goddard pushed the big fellow down
the fourth time, and MeAuliffe remained

The Mis- sion boys ribs must feel sore to-
day. His face Is we'll marked up from the.
visitations OF the invader, and he will carry
marks of hard knocks for some time to
come as m0mentos Of his last battle in
Frisco. Goddard's left eye was badly cut
and blackened. and his mouth is not as
natural in appearance as il was yesterday
morning. McAuliffe will now have to re-
turn to the lanyard, and in all probability
an endeayor will be made TO match Goddard

ries, and large majority had bet their little
pie on MeAuilffe. the local champion, their
hopes running high that the big fellow
would retrieve his lost laureis by defeating
the grim, doughty and undefeated Antipo

In the ooirooms and sporting saloons for

allowed their hopes to run away with their
judgment threw up their stacks of twenties
into the safes OF these resorts, against a

money at the rate of 10 toS. Alas! for them:
their man and tanner proved unworthy the
confidence placed IN him, and proved con-
clusiyely that although he may be able to
tan the hides Of animals, his skill in this d.
rection fails him when he attempts opera
