THE CITY WINS,
Electric Lighting Contracts Are
Declared Cancelled.

The city. to use slang phrase, appears
to be strictly in 1t. Another suit has
been won, and this time it is the one
brought TO set aside the five-year con-
tract with the electric light companies
for street lighting. The suit was COM
menced by President Kiichli, of the
common council, for the purpose of
paving the way 10 municipal ownership.
The council will now feel safe, even
though an appeal should be taken to the
supreme court, i'll going ahead with
plans for lighting plant. That favor
able decision was expected is shown by
the fact that at the last meeting of the
plans and specifications for municipal
lighting plant.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Kiichli
against the city and the Brush Electric
company to secure cancellation of the
hye-year contract made between the
city and the company iii August, 1892.
The case was heard before three Judges,
Elliot, Smith and Hicks. They hled
their decision yesterday morning and
declared Tor the plaintiff, holding that
the city had no right 10 enter into five
year contract. City Attorney Simpson
argued the case for Mr.. Kiichli, and
Gen. w. J. Hahn argued the side of
the city and the electric light company,
1t being understood that while the
action was nominally brought making
the city defendant, it was really
brought In the interest of the city to
test the validity Of the contract.

THE GRADING QUEsTI ON.
4 Time-Worn Affair Settled by
Judge Elliot.

Judge Elliot, OF the district court.
handed down a decision yesterday which
will settle, for the time being, at least.
the long-discussed Fifth street north
grading question. The case which
brought about the decision was an ac-
ton brought by Anthony Kelly, j. b.
Bassett. John {. Reno ct al against the
city. When the st. Louis and Great
Northern tracks were lowered the
change of grade caused damages to
abutting property. By the contract
which the company had with the city,
the latter was to pay for these damages.
and this part OF the contract was Tul.
filled. Commissioners, appointed by
the council, assessed benefits accruiny
to the property lying north of the tracks
sufficient TO compensate the $50, 900
worth OF damages which the city had
been forced to pay. Property owners
on which this assessment fell protested,
and asked for ali injunction restraining
the city from collecting the assess
mentS.
Judge Elliott refuses this injunction,
and. uphCidlng the assessment made,
declares the part of the charter which
authorizes the council to make such as
sessment to be constitutional.
The plaintiffs In the suit claim that
whatever consequent damages resulted
from the change OF grade should have
been paid by the railroad company, and
not by any particular body of citizens.
They also claim that it was not change
of grade under the charter: that the
grade provisions of chapter 8, Special
Laws Of 1885, are unconstitutional. 1t
is likely the case will be appealed.

Frank Floyd was excused from the

was sworn for the next witness.
There is marked difference between
Lou and his brother. Frank carries
certain amount of what might be called
good looks. but Louis has solid and
business like appearance, his features
having strong, manly lines.
He stated that he was twenty-five
years of age, and when he met Philip

that Catharin would best him. Phil

money bought for security. He stated
that Phil always gave him to under
stand that lie had vast resources, aud
that appearances helped out this belief.
As to the jealousy of Pills wife and
other circumstances. he told the same
story as his brother.
The witness denied ever having
knowledge that Phil was taking money
from the bank unauthorized.
Now. when you were in conversation
with Phil at Dietrich's did he tell you
that you were going away. or did you
state To HIM that you knew why he was
going?" asked Mr.. Byrnes.
The witness stated that Phil took ont
long letter and said it was from
Frank.

the witness, ''but knew where he was

OUT ON A STRIKE.
Employees of Gleason Bros. De-
mand Their Pay.


The men employed by Gleason Bros,
the city contractors who have the water
pipe contract at Single creek, went out
on strike yesterday, the trouble being
over the demand of the employees for
their back pay. The wages of the en-
ployes have been in arrearages for
some weeks past, it is said, and to ag-
gravate matters the men claim that the
firm drew $1,000 from tue city Saturday
and refused to pay the wages due.
Yesterday morning the men went to
the city hall in 4 body to see what could
be done for them. All claimed to be in
straitened circumstances, and de-
manded their pay. call was made
upon City Comptroller Nye, who was
asked for advice. Mr.. Nye stated that
he had no authority to pay them without
the council passed upon the claims, but
that he would put their names upon the
pay roll If the men would notify him
how long they had worked. Mr.. Nye's
offer was backed by provision Of the
city charter, which stipuIates that no
contractor shall be paid any money on
his contract when the men employed
were unpaid.
City Attorney Simpson was also
waited upon and cited the same ordi-
nance. The nen will accordingly put
