THE MATTER UNSETTLED.
Another Fight Will Probably Ee
Made on the City Electric
Light Plant.

Light Plant.
There Is reason to believe that
the matter Of city lighting has not
been definitely settled, as some OF
the members of the City Council,
Alderman Hoefling for one, say
that although Mr.. Scudder, the
agent for the Great Western Elec-
trio company, claims that he will
have to submit the proposition, al
ready accepted by the council, to
the board of directors Of the Great
Western Electric company, Is in
effect a binding agreement, and the
company will be compelled to exc
cute the contract.
1t has pro-contra been claimed
by others, who are presumed to
know something about such mat
tiers, that the clause contained
in Mr.. Scudder's proposition, de-
manding as security for the pay
ment Of the contract price, in addi-
ton to lien on the plant, the city
shall give as additional security, a
lien on the future tax collections
Of the city, cannot be legally enter
ed into by the council, as such
monies are, or have been,
already pledged as security
to the holders of city bonds; and
further, are by implication and in
terence, indirectly subject to lien
on behalf of all general creditors
Of the city.
1t is evident the fight will be
continued, and no stone left I'M
turned by the opponents to city
ownership, and it will not be sur
prising to see the whole matter de-
layed for some time to come.
The members of the council who
have advocated the matter OF city
ownership, are all determined to
win, and say they will continue
the fight "to a finish," and settle
the question of whether or not the
city's interests are to be protected.

1.-THE NEW SOUTH"

hC iOlloNihS 10 '" AA"S WV ~'S'
York Press has to say.
"'The New South a play by
Clay NJ. Greene and Joseph r..
Grismer, which was produced be-
fore crowded and evidently much
interested audience in the Broad
way theatre last evening, may be
most closely described, perhaps,
as a romantic drama, and is not
only almost certain to win public
favor, but is, in a certain measure,
deserving of it. The chief merit of
the piece is that it treats subjects
of American interest in an original
an picturesque way.
"The scene is laid in Georgia dur
ing a Congressional election, and
the whole neighborhood is sup
posed to have been thrown into fer
ment by the arrival Of q troop of
United States cavalry, suspected
OF being under orders to protect
negro voters. The captain in COM
mand Of the detachment meets
with very cool reception at the
house Of an eX-COnfederate briga-
der, because he will not divulge
the nature of his orders, and final
ly, owing to an utter misappre-
hensiOn, is attacked with
his own sword by the
Generals only son. He defends
himself with the scabbard,
and stuns his adversary, whom he
leaves unconscious on the ground
while he runs off to get help. In
his absence negro political "boss"
who bears grudge against the
senseless man, runs the latter
through the body with the officers
sword, and decamps, the all too
evident object OF this episode being
the arrest and conviction of the
Captain for murder. The remain
der of the play is devoted to his
sufferings as a convict in the chain
gang, to the heroic interference
in his behalf OF the Generals
daughter, who loves him and helps
him to establish his innocence by
becoming his legal owner, and the
restitution Of general happiness
and good will. The action is
smooth and fairly rapid, the situa-
tiOns interesting, and the dialogue
natural. There are two cOnspici-
ously good scenes from the the
atrical point Of view. The first is
In the second act; where the con-
vtcted Captain, temporarily re-
leased from servitude by the free
labor rebellion against the convict
system, refuses to accept liberty
for any other reason than that of
his innocence, and so wins the con-
fldenCe OF the heroine; and the
second in the third act, where the
true motive Of his intended self
sacrifice is extracted from him by
the shrewd crOss-qucstiOning Of
the woman for whose sake he is
prepared to throw away even hope
Itself. Both these scenes are
worthy OF drama OF high order,
and they will mako the fortune of
the play. Jos. r.. Grismcr, one OF
the authors, appears as the sorely
prosecuted captain, and plays the
part uncOmmOnly well. He is to
be commended especially for his
avoidance OF cXaggeration. The
play met with very favorable re-
ception from tho audien CO"
