In Virginia and West Virginia the fol.
lowing contracts are noted:

There are about 500 towns and cities in
the United States more or less fullv
lighted by electricity. The highest
prices paid are by Cleveland, O., where
20 1000 candle power lights, on full
schedule, cost 1894 each year. Rut.
land, VT, pays $3.50 year for each Of
rs 1000 candle power lights on full time.
close scrutiny of the figures in over
400 towns shows that low prices prevail
occasionally where small number of
lights are used, indicating some excep-
tlonal circumstance, presumably that a
large private consumption is the main
stay OF the electric light company, and
that the public lighting is side issue.
indianapolis gets 100 1000 candle power
lights on full schedule for $50 per
light, but it is evident that only small
part of the city is lighted, and there is,
II IS understood, natural gas compe-
tition.
An inspection OF the contracts of
thirty cities taken at random all over
the country show an average price OF
Si5o per annum for 1000 candle power
lights burned on full schedule.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The decision OF

land, Ohio. This was to be the first
meeting place outside Of the State OF

the application on the ground that it
was question wholly in the province
OF the lodge to settle, and that courts
were slow and reluctant to interfere
in cases of that kind, when remedy

New York lodge took an APPEAL, and
the grand lodge, feeling SO confident

A KANSAS FREEZE OUT.
Populists and Republicans Fighting for
Control of tho House.


TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 1O.-The pre-
dicted clash between the Republicans
and populists of Kansas over the organ
ization of the house has come, but in a
totally unexpected manner. The popu
lists made bold bluff to exclude from
participation all those mem bers against
whom contests were pending.
Tho Republicans would not listen to
such proposition, which would moan
surrender of the house to the enomy,
and the result is that two houses are
organized and are in full blast side by
side in the same room. 1t has settled
down to case OF freeze out and the side
with the mOst endurance will win.
The three Democrats arc quietly
watching the row and taking no part in
the proceedings. The Populists had
been provided with large quantity of
bologna sausage and made them into
sandwiches, and these were served in
lieu OF supper. They announced that
they were in the hall to stay and are
confident they will rout the Republi-
cans and finally capture the organiza-
ton.
The Populists at $40 o'clock paused
In the proceedings to eat lunch which
was served to them in their seats. They
ate voraciously while the hungry Re-
publicans looked and laughed.
