THE cAs-PURIFYlNc CONTRACT.
Messrs. Talbot & Sons the Successful
Bldders-Other Matters.

Biddcrs-Ofher Matters.
The Council Committee on Light met
in regular session last night, and, after
the transaction OF routine business,
awarded to Messrs. Talbot & Sons the
contract to build the additional purifying
plant. for which the Council recently APP
propriated $4,000 in city bonds
The members of the committee present
were Chairman Gum and Messrs. Grimes,
Hardwicke, Mann. Taylor, and George
Il. Davis.
The usual bills and pay-rolls were
ordered paid. and Superintendent Adams
was directed to report to the Council his
authority for keeping a horse and buggy
at the expense of the city.
The contract to erect the new oil-tank
was awarded TO Messrs. Walsh & Nc
Lauchlan, at a cost of s5s975, this being
the lowest bid.
The Courtney Supply Company was
given the contract to furnish the depart
ment with 5000 feet of finch piping. the
price to be paid s2l6 per ton.
On IN otion of Mr. Hardwicke the COM
mttee decided that II would hold Its
meetings In the Office OF Superintendent
Adams. in the new City Hall.
REPORT OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
The committee then took UP the report
of the subcommittee, consisting OF
Messrs. Grimes. Hardwicke, and Mann.
to whom were referred the opening Of the
bids for furnishing complete the addi-
tional gas-purifying plant These gentle
men looked over carefully the sixteen
proposals sent in, and recommended to
tb. general consideration five of the bids,
as follows: Messrs. Talbot q Sons. $26,-
s4774; Tredegar Works. $2tS70; Chamblin.
Delaney & Scott, s26.Sn The Davis-Far-
nun Manufacturing Company, $2i,360;
Western Gas-Construction Company, s21,-
1884,
Each concern presented its own set OF
plans, and was permitted TO make fun
explanations of their details to the COM
mi.toa
When this had been done Mr. Grimes
moved that two feet Of stone be laid
under the structure, but his proposition
met with little favor at the hands OF the
committee. and fell through
TALBOT & SONS PLANS.
Mr. Davis asked the Superintendent II
he had looked carefully into the plans and
specifications of all the bids. Mr.. Adams
replied that he had. Mr.. Davis then
wanted to know the result of the Super
intendent's examinations. Mr.. Adams
stated that for construction and dura-
bility the plans of Messrs. Talbot & Sons
were superior to any of the others. He
thought the difference In these points well
worth the difference in cost. Mr. Talbot
explained that nearly every bit OF the
work, If the contract was awarded to
his firm would be done by Richmond me-
chanics
Mr.. Davis moved that the contract BE
let to Messrs. Talbot & Sons. and his
motion was adopted, only Mr.. Gum
voting against 1t. Mr.. Gum cast his vote
for the Tredegar Works. explaining that
he thought the difference in the bids
too great.
The committee then adjourned.

Mr.. Buford's election bill was called up
and Mr.. Cabell favored II. The measure
was passed by in order TO continue the

Mr. Campbell offered an amendment
striking out the claus in the section APP
propriating $4,000 10 the Agricultural Blu
reau. which provides that all taxes on
fertilizers and fertilizer companies be
included In and counted os part of the
sum. After some discussion the amend
ment was rejected. Mr.. Withers then Of
fered an amendment which fell like a
bombshell on the House and caused a
heated debate which at times became
very personal In It's character and seri-
ously threatening the goodwill and comfy
between the members.
He proposed 10 reduce the salary or
the Acknowledgement from $3.50 per year.
as recommended by the Finance Commit
MIR. Gibson favored the amendment and
assailed not only the present but the late

the salary increased from time TO time
until IL reached the sum Of 81 800 per an
nun; HE then had his son appointed 70
"A 5000 cierkship under him." the gentle
man continued, "and that son received
that salary for two years while he was
s.bSent In Europe.
Mr. Bryant here corrected him. and said
that Mr. Mcdonald was only In Europe
two months. and while there he had pro-
ylded a substitute In his Office.
Air. Gibson Ny Information Is that he
was absent two years. His SUBJ .itute.
can state authoritatiyely. was the State
Armorer. who received salary OF $500
per annum from the State.
THE FUND BEING MISUSED.
Mr. Gibson said that the military fund
was being nlisused; that one half OF the
appropriation OF the volunteer militia.
which should be dedicated to the support
and proper maintenance Of the troops.
was being diverted and paid to the Ad-
tutant-Cenerai and Inspector-General.
Mr.. Hathaway asked II the present
Adjutant- General was elected at a salary
OF 1850. whatswoud be the practical ef-
feet OF reducing his salary
Mr.. Gibson: The practical effect would
be that he would not get IT,

Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ELBERON, N. J., August II, 1904
A more lovely sight than that presented
by the hotel lawn here last Thursday even
ing could hardly be imagined outside of
fajryland, lighted, as 1t was with many
colored Japanese lanterns and draped with
nags Of all nations. Over the grass fair
women In gorgeous ball gowLs wandered
with their male escorts during the pauses
Of the dance, and all went merry as q
marriage bell" An especially effective fea-
ture of tho evenings entertainment was a
lantern dance given by a number of little
girls. Each child carried a light of diff
ferent color, and in the evolutions Of the
dance these were made to form a variety of
graceful patterns. The company assem-
bled on Thursday evening on the lawn rep
resented many Of the best-known families
of both New York and Philadelphia.
Mr.. A. Hesse, an attache of the German
legation at Washington, arrived at the
Elberon Hotel last week to pass the re-
mainder of the season. Baron Won Kettler.
who is also a member of the German le-
cation, expects to join him here on Sat
urday.
Mr.. Oliver Pancoast gave a clam-bake
party last Monday. In the afternoon the
party assembled on the tally-ho coach and
were drawn by Mr.. Pancoasts four spirited
chestnuts to Pleasure bay, where the clam
bake, with the usual additions in the shape
of wines and Ices, was partaken of, and then
the party drove home by moonlight. The
participants in this delightful excursion

ings OF the Society Of Friends has jus,
closed at High Point. N. c., after a weeks
session. Eminent visiting Friends from ali
over the south and from everywhere were
present. The report Of the temperance COM
mittee as adopted says:
I'VE recommend that in the future no
member Of the Society Of Friends of North
Carolina shall be recorded as a minister or
appointed an elder who engages in the use
Of tobacco"
This is the tobacco platform" which the
Friends have long been endeavoring to
adopt, and which they now stand upon.
The following was also adopted,
I'VE do not presume to dictate the politi-
cal conduct Of our members, but we do re-
cord our deliberate Judgment that no politi-
cal party has a right to expect or ought to
receive the support Of Christian men so
long as 1t is committed to the license pol
icy or refuses to put itself on record in an
attitude Of open hostility to the sale of It"
