There came near being a shooting affair In the
Phoenix saloon, corner of South Second and
Washington, yesterday noon, and 1t was due to
the GOODNESS of Bartender Davis that 1t was
averted. Mrs. A. Thames, a heavyw weight, who has
a room in the lodging house over the saloon,
went downstairs and got drunk during the
forenoon. The bartender finally refused her
more drink, and after vainly arguing the ques-
tion she went OUT. In short time she returned
with paper bag in her hand, and advancing to
the bar asked for drink. 1t was refused and
she threatened to use force. He laughed, but
from the paper bag she drew q revolver, aud
bringing IL down on the bar asked his opinion
of that Mr.. Davis objected. struggle ensued.
Mrs. Thames was not in condition and was
worsted. Officer surry then appeared, and had
Just turned in call when Mrs. Thames threw
up her hands and fell in an epileptic fit Jailer
Sheehan and Officer Surry were discussing the
task OF lifting Mrs. Thames, who weighs between
go and rs pounds, when the landlady from
the lodging house cams down and said she
would tako caro- OF her. Tho proposition was
accepted, and after considerable exertion on
the part of the two policemen Mrs. Thames was
placed in her room and made comfortable.

LIGHT FOR THE CITY.
Councilmen Discussing How to
Secure 1t Cheap.
ESTIMATES TO BE PREPARED.
Several Plans Were Consid ered-New
Fire Engine and Other Apparatus
to Be Bought.

A meeting was held last night OF the COM
mittees on lighting of the two houses OF the city
couucii. Alderman Dauton was called to the
chair. and delegate Kloeber elected secretary.
There were also present Aldermen Ingram,
Carrie, Cram, Miller, Wolfe, Delegates Cailigan,
Brace. Cook and Lyon. The object was to con-
slider the feasibility and OF the city operating
its own street lighting system. Several tenders
had been made BY competing firms, but they
differed 20 much In the particulars of their bids
that 1t was sgrced to give the representatives OF
electric plant firms an opportunity to make
explanations.
Mr. Baker. representing the General Electric
Company, presented the advantages OF his sys-
tenn. In reply to questions he said the cost of
producing light per horse power ii Seattle
would be SIS year-each horse power repre-
sentirg one arc light. That included sill the at
tendance and general expenses. The coat
might be Sc. at 81 80 q month, including in
teros.
Delegate Brace thought the cost of generation
would be about 81 per month per light He was
told any bid for supply would be less than that.
Delegate Kloeber was of opinion that 1t
would be wise to be careful about putting in
plant. The general experience was that the
cost OF operation would be greater than II q con-
tract was awarded to a company directly inter
ested in economy. He went into details to
show that ii it was to be done by the city the
to own its own power. 80 that IL as any time
combination should be made, the city could
readily put in condenser and gen.
crate its own current 1t was costing
the city $4,000 year for poor lights; for $1,000
the city could be we'll Lighted by purchasing the
current He was Informed that IL would be pos
sible to get bid at 81 month per arc light.
After come discussion, on motion Of Delegates
Kloeber and Brace, it was resolved to recon-
mend the employment of an expert electrician
to draw up full, specifications and plans, 80 that
bids wouid be uniform. The object was to pro-
vide not only the cheapest way to wire the city,
but to insure that the system could be econom-
icaiiy extended as there was need OF it
Delegate Cook suggested that q committee
consisting of Chairman Rinehart, Deputy Sur
veyor Scott and City Electrician Pinckney could
draw up a plan, but Mr.. Kloeber said the serv-
ices Of a practical electrician were absolutely
necessary. Mr. Brace also thought that 1t would
be necessary to arrange for the circuits
The committee adjourned until Friday night,
when Major Rineha-t will be invited to meet
them before making fual report to the council.

schultz 10 the man who, ON August 2, in COM
pany with Barney Martin, stole q horse aud
buggy from N. l. Baer, the attorney, and who
was captured after a desperate resistance near
Puyallup on the following day. He was in
dicted with Martin for grand larceny and horse
stealing. Schult1 presented the very ingenious
but weak defense OF being an honest but weak
minded fellow who had been fnveigled into the
trouble by Martin. He claimed that Martin had
told him that he had borrowed the horse and iu-
Knowing that the rig was stolen schults COM
piled, and dic not know how serious mistake
be had made until the officers had attempted to
arrest him. Then, in his desperation. he had
Martin for getting him into trouble, but
In the excitement of the moment he had shot
all the more unblushingy because of the fact
that Martin had been committed TO the insane
asylum and could not be present to refute the
statement thas he was the only guilty one.
schultxs attorneys fought his case on every
point and made eloquent pleas for him, but the
jury was hard headed and broughti in a verdict
of guilty as charged, after bsing out about two

Proposed Universal Insurance Rates.

d. A. Spencer yesterday received from COM
mi;tes OF the most prominent underwriters in
the East the outline OF project for an ..uniyer-
sal mercantile schedule" the object OF which is
to make rates OF insurance uniform in cities of
the same kind throughout tho entire country.
The idea Is to take ~ standard for the lowest
rate what is to be known as the model CITY. In
this there will b taken into consideration tina
general manner in which the city is laid out, its
apparatus for lighting IRE in the way of a fire
department and water system, the width of
streets. the character OF buildings and material
generally used in construction, the efficiency of
the police department. etc, Those cities which
fail in any OF these particulars according to ths
model will have to pay higher rata The plau
suggested Is a iarreaching one, and the system
may be worked out so that it may become gen.
orally adopted
