LIGHT THE CITY.
A Proposition to That End Submit-
tel Which Should ke Duly
Con nsidsrsd Now.

J. p. Kitlrel', representing the Tenn
pie Electric Light Co.. who has been
in the city since yesterday, left this
afternoon on bis return home. lie
was here for the purpose of trying TO
o game \ joint stock company to
light the city. Ills proposition seems
to be very conservative aud fair. IL is
for local capital to absorb halt the
stock, he taking the remainder and
put into operation 600 light plant.
1t looks TO us as though our people
should meet him half way. The stock
taken is not in the way of donation,
but an inves ment which would pay
from the start. That ArdmOre needs
lighting Is not gaiusaid by any and
that IL will require the investment OF
capital to sec ure it also goes without
saying. rhese being facts, why not
take the bull by the horns aud at once
solve the dilema.

Draft Drawn on a Certain Tufts Company
Without Existence, of Which p. b.
Coffin Claimed to Be Secretary.
DEFENSE'S DOUBTFUL POINT
Technical Objection to Report to
Controller of Currency.
Claimed if False Entry Was Made It
Was Made by RexfOrd-'C Construction
of Language of Indictment.

Teller Louis Robinson was on the stand
all day yesterday in the trial of the bank
case and will probably be on the stand for
a number of days 20 come. 1t is hardly
probable that his examination in chief will
be completed to-day, and then 1t is antici-
pated that the cross-examtaation by the
defense will occupy fully as much. If not
more. time than the examination in chief.
From the volume Of notes being taken by
Mr.. Winter and the fullness and exactness
OF them in every detail it is evident that
the cross-examination will be rigid and
searching. The evidence yesterday
again the tracing Of the various drafts tle-
posted in the bank by the cabinet company
and upon which 1t received credit, against
which credit il Immediately checked out
money. 1t was shown by the evidence that
the cabinet company acquired overdrafts
with lightning rapidity. When 1t acquired
an overdraft II would deposit drafts or
notes and entirely or partially, generally
partially, wipe out the overdraft. But gen.
orally upon the same day that draft or
note was deposited the books showed that
the cabinet company had checked out near
ly as large amount as was deposited.
During the afternoon the defense gained
the first semblance to q victory upon an
objection to the admission of evidence.
This was upon the objection to the admis-
sion Of the report to the Controller of
Currency. The court was undecided as to
whether to admit the report or not and
the point held in abeyance till more
light could be thrown upon 1t.
The point raised was that the indict-
ment charged that in making the report
Haughey made or caused to be ma lie" a
false entry. while the words of the statute
upon the making Of false entries in a re-
port were "who makes any false entry"
without any reference to the causing of
such entry TO be made by another. II was
urged by the defense that this was a
variance between the indictment and the
offense that was defined by the statutes.
During the afternoon a draft drawn by
the cabinet company on the Tufts Cabinet
Company of New York appeared evil
dence. This draft had been accepted by
p. B. Coffin as secretary Of the Tufts com
pany. Mr.. Winter objected to it's being
received In evidence, but the objection was
overruled Mr.. Kern stated that the gov
ernment would show that this company was
a pure fiction but that there was a bona
fide Tufts Cabinet Company, of which p.
B. Coffin was not secretary.

Pherson, of the finance committee. intends
to offer an amendment to the sugar sched-

vision in the first bill as prepared by the
subcommittee came nearer what he wanted

Speaking of the bill as a whole, Senator
Mcpherson said Ii was far from satisfac-
tory In many respects OF the income tax
he said: There are several of us on the
Democratic side who are opposed to the
income tax, but we know there are enough
Republicans who will vote to retain IL In
the bill 10 keep IL there, and we have the
strange condition of seeing men vote for
a provision obnoxious TO many men, while
they VIII vote against the bill as a whole
There Is great objection 10 the income

raised by il is not needed"
