$50. 80 per lamp per year.
The construction account on electric
light plant, was itemiZed In ffty-three
items, ranging from $1,000 down to 81.
The President of the Board, Mr.
Dunlevy, said there was very little TO
explain aside from what the statement
showed. The works had been called

expense, which the receipts would not
warrant, Everything had been paid,
however, except the item OF coal bill,
s17. 600. but relief must now be had. II
the Board had gotten what it wanted
to-wlt, electric light for COM
mercial purposes-it would have
come out all right, for the Board had
all the machinery and men necessary
to make electricity for sale. As the
city could not sell. while forced to main
tain these extraordinary expenditures,
il had been impossible TO make both
ends meet. The electric light plant
had cut of the gas from the streets,
but the City Hall, the hose houses, the
market nOuseSt Vie uOSpitdlss L. M =.
A. and other institutions were still a
drain on the works, amounting 10 over
S.. 900 a year. The City Hall alone
burned so, 500 worth Of gas year. The
works last year paid out for public
lighting $40, 594.07 more than ever be-
fore, and that represented the differ
ence between electric lights and gas on
the streets, while the public buildings
still burned gas. The interest and re-
demption OF bonds was also $4,000 more
last year than ever before, and when TO
these items were added the item OF S22.-
733. OF for construction account, which
was 81, 537 more than was expected,
il combined to swamp the Board. The
mon ey asked for this year was to square
up tue outstanding account and sci
the Board squarely on its feet again.
A lohg discussion Of the estimates,

IAN explanation OF this deficiency is
found in the increased expenditures
forced upon the works during the past
year, without any increase in the reve-
nues to Offset it. The following state
ment will show the amounts expended
during 1891 and 1892, for furnishing
light to public buildings and streets, to-
gether with the amounts paid for pur-
poses from which the works derive no
benefit or revenue:

1.-THE Board Of Gas Trustees
"GENTLEMEN:-I beg to report to
your honorable body that l have made
an examination OF the books OF the gas
works up TO April l, 1898, and ind
them correct. Proper vouchers are on
file for all disbursements, and all aux
iliary books are brought up to that
date, aud their contents correctly car
ried to the ledgers. The final closing
OF the ledger for the fiscal year ending
March 81, 1898, cannot be accomplished
until the annual inventory Of the
works is completed"
The matters Of incandescent lighting
for the public buildings, and also new
arc dynamo was discussed, but IL was
agreed that nothing could be done
this year, although both matters were
very desirable. the extra arc dynamo
TO enable the Board to put in more
street lamps, and the incandescent
machine to save the $1,000 which 1t
now costs to light the public building
with gas.
All the members of the committee
agreed that the estimate presented to
them was correct. reasonable and just,
Chairman Robinson being especially
emphatic In his views that the state OF
affairs printed were inevitable. He
thought the tax payers rather
than the gas consumers ought to pay
for lighting the public streets. Presi-
dent Dunlevy also thought the gas con-
sumers had been robbed enough. "These
consumers not only paid for the gas and
the expense OF running the works, but
they were to pay the whole cost Of the
electric light plant, including all the in
terest and principal on bonds, and the
expense Of maintaining the plant be-
sides.
On motion Of Mr.. Hupp, the estimate
and accompanying papers went to
Council, with the recommendation that
the amount asked for be allowed.

The Maryland Appoin tments.

A Maryland Dem ocrat, who is usually vel
informed as to what is going on in local poll
tics, said in speaking OF the appointment Of
Mr. Murray Vindiver to be Collector of In
ternal Revenue, he thought that settled two
other appoin n ants in tb, STATE. He tn ought
meant tat representative Compton was to
have the Naval Office and ex-Repre-
sentative John B Brown, of Queen Anne 5
county, was to have the app ,int.n mt of Col
leetor of the Port of Baltimore. He thought
the selection of Collector of Internal Rev
enue from the Second district instead of from
side track for the Naval office, and that the
President would probably recoynz, the indie
pendent element in Maryland politics by the
appointment of Mr.. Brown to be Collector of
the Port. The only thing that, in his opinion,
might disturb these calculations was the can
didacy of Mr. Buchanan S :hley for Naval Of
flee. He said th,t NJ Schley would be
strong caldi late and might BE- able secure the
office. Ths gpntem IN named DIR. Frank L
Shaw as among the men who would like TO
have the Collectcrship of the Port, but lie
thought the giving # the CoileclorsliE Of In
ternal Revenue to the second congressional
district would intel fere with his chances of APP
pointment. As none of the Offices in the Gus
toms Service at Baltimore will become vacant
until next year all speculation s 10 who will
receive the prizes is n 'cessaliy very vague at
this time.

The Acquittal of Lizzie Borden.

The Jury in the trial of Lizzie Borden
reached promptly the only conclusion possible
from the testimoney, verdict Ct not guilty.
Iu the absence of any other plausible theory
the suspicion will remain that Lizzie Borden
may have committed or have known OF the
commission of the double murder; but not a
shred of evidence was produced to make
this any more than suspicion. Theie was
| the fact of her presence in the house, with
few detached circumstances that seemed
compromising, rather than eliminating, and
that was all. The summing up of the Prose-
cutting Attorney was no more than carefully
elaborated theory of how Lizzie Borden might
have killed her stepmother and her father. He
was able to point to no convincing evidence
that she did kill them. The jury had no choice
but to acquit her.
Ifths verdict is true as we'll IS just leaves the
case one of the most mysterious in memory
fact the mystery is scalcely less whether the
murder was committed by Lizzie Borden or
by some person who has disappeared, along
with all trace and clue, and it is really east er
to believe such complete disappearance tn an
to believe this woman guilty of the crime
Unfortunately the police Of Fall River have
not shown themselves remarkably astute aud
we shall have to the developments of time for
the solution of the mystery.
Whatever may be thought Of the police or
whatever theories anyone may choose to form
for himself, there can be no other feeling than
of satisfaction with the conduct of the trial
The case itself was so unusual that the abb
sence of anything like sentionalism in the pro-
ceedings in court was the more remarkable
The Jury was chosen without technical delays;
points of law were argued dispassionately and
always decided on broad principles of jus
tice; the relations of the opposing counsel to
one another, to the Court and to the witnesses
were always dignifed and courteous; the cause,
10 sholt was we'll and truly tried, with care
fulness and fairness, and veadict promptly
reached in accordance with the law and the
evidence. Such trial, under such conditions
is in the highest degree reassuring. 1t is credi-
table to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and the attention it has attracted should IN axe
it valuable as an example in other States.
