from the guns of the Trajano, Jupiter and

rifle fire and the sailors retired with one
killed and three wounded. On the same day
the government forts did a heavy artillery
fire upon Fort Villegaignon, many shells

Several also struck Fort Villegaignon kill

"On Monday 800 soldiers behind walls and
houses again opposed the landing of men
from the ships. The fire lasted an hour
The launches made several attempts to
land men, but the heavy fire from the troops
prevented. The sailors lost four killed and
five wounded, and the troops reported nu-
merouS casualties. The forts continued the
fire on the same day and the troops in front
of Santa LULA opened a rifle fire upon Fort

twenty. A shell from Fort Santa Cruz

win reference to light il ha -dly seems

there Is not near the numoer Of lights Their,
ought TO be in the city. TO- the fact is ob-
Nious 10 every one. We have miles OF TN

Another serious objection Is the quality Of

Capitol Is so permeated with the stencil as TO

probably arises froTl TIE ia lure t. properly
purify the gas. and from the eNlllos IRE OF
sod rOrr ff
The price charged for both electric and
gas lights is exorbitant, and IL Is because
OF these exorbitant rates and the want of
means that the Commissioners are unable
TO furnish street lights where they are SO
much needed, and where they are constant
ly being asked for by the citizens.
The report quoted from Capt Lusk to
show that Washington pays from IS to 80
per cent more than other cities for electric
lighting. In every instance where the mu-
nicipality furnishes the electric lights the
report said. the cost is very much less than
when furnished by private company. Ref
erence was made to the Investigations con-
Quoted by municipalities in this country and
abroad. all furnishing testimony In favor Of
municipal lighting, and the suggestion was
made that the water power Of Great Falls
could be used In this connection to great adj
vantage.
Figures We're also given TO show that in
every instance where the municipality fur
nishes its own gas the price is far less than
when furnished by a private company.
So popular and so beneficial has municipal
ownership proven in Europe that in Great

MRS. HALLIDAY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
She Had Hanged Herself With Strips
Torn From Her Dress.

Mrs. Halliday, who is charged with three
murders and suspected of others, tried
again yesterday to end her life, and was
again prevented. She tried to hang herself
in her cell at Monticello. N. Y. Sheriff
Beecher at 1 o'clock, as is his custom. went
to her cell with food, and found her aDpar-
emily lifeless.
Mrs. Halliday had torn a strip Of cloth
from the bottom of her dress. and twisting
1t so as to make 1t stronger, had c!eyerly
adjusted slipping moose. which she sus-
pended from the door of her cell. She had
then proceeded to strangle herself by l.ut-
ting her head in the moose and drawing the
cloth tight by throwing her weight upcn Il;
When she was discovered by the sheriff
her features were distorted and her eyes
bulged from their sockets. She was im,na-
diately cut down and restoratives were ai-
ministered 1t was fully fifteen minutes be-
fore she regained consciousness, AMI then
she seemed dazed. DIR. McWilliams the id
physician, was out of town at the time On
returning he found her very weak Mrs
Halliday had eaten but little during the
past four weeks, except what she has been
forced to take by her physician.
