Last Nights Meeting.

All of the aldermen were present at
last nights special meeting of the
council, and Vice President Peterson
presided in the absence of Mayor
Weaver. The session lasted until
midnight, and then an adjournment
was taken until tonight, when it is
intended to let the contract.
The council met in City Attorney
Pfau's office, and the representative
of each company bidding was given
private audience and allowed to eX-
plain his bid. A1olph w. Benson ap-
peared for the Robinson & Cary Co.,
R. j. Randolph for the Excelsior
Electric Co., Gilbert Donaldson for
the D. & d. Electric Co., Mr.. Robin
son for A. L. Ide & Son, r. E. Brown
for the Mankato Gas and Electric
Light Co., and John W. Ebert for the
Western Electric Co.
Aid. Andrews moved that all the
bids contemplating constant poten-
tial lighting plant for the city be re-
iected, and this was carried, thus do
ing away with the more expensive
system.
1t was ascertained that the cheap
est bid is the Ideal engine at S2,SOS,
with the Western Electric Co.'s bid
of S13,l5O for the balance, total OF
S15,95S, This is about $4,000 higher
than was estimated.
Gilbert Donaldson of the ID. & d.
company, who made such honied pre-
tentions as to the small amount re-
quired to put in plant, and argued
that 10000 to SD, 900 would be suffi-
cient, the latter being the extreme
figure, was the highest bidder. His
bid, with the cheapest engine, was
ST. 900 to SIT, 500. His company does
not even furnish the machine, but
with an Excelsior machine of eighty
light capacity, his bid was 4,1O5, and
with two machines of forty light ca
pacity it was S14,655, to which must
be added the $2,S0S for an engine.
Those who had pinned their faith on
Mr.. DonaldsOn's words last summer,
when he showed such virtuous indig-
nation at Mr.. Stewards statements,
were much disappointed when his
bid was read. Still there are many
who predict that the smoothe spoken
old man may yet walk off with the
contract, even if he is the highest
bidder.
From the bids, it will be noticed
that there are only two on the station
and line, and three on the engine.
The Buckeye engine has 125 horse
power, and considering the horse
power is the cheapest. A. w. Ben
son, agent of the Robinson g. Cary Co.,
states that it is thirty-three per cent
lower speed than the Ideal, which
would be an advantage.
John w. Ebert representst the West
ern Electric Co. and states that his
company put in the plants at Roches-
ter and WaSeca, and that they have
given good satisfaction.
One of the agents stated this after
noon: "The representatives of sever
al companies came here from the east
to put in bids, but when they got
here they became convinced that the
D. and d. man had the inside track
with a majority of the council and
put their bids in through him in
stead of independently. He makes a
profit on what he furnishes as well as
on the other, and the cost is more to
the city. If the cltizenS,take any in
terest in the awarding of the con-
tract they should be on hand at the
council meeting tonight. Those not
in the combine will make big
fight"

COLLAR BONE DISLOCATED.

Sunday afternoon G. L. King
started to take his family out driving,
and when the horse made sudden
start the back seat went over back
wards, with the three children which
it contained. Ira, who is about 13
years old, received fracture of the
collar bone. He is getting along

A MEETING SUGGESTED.
The ST. Peter Independent Comments
Favorably on the Electric Line.

The suggestion made by the FREE
PRESS that an electric railway be-
tween this city and Kasota would
prove profitable and would be bene-
fetal to both cities has attracted
much favorable notice at St. Peter as
well as in this city. Saturday we
published a favorable comment on the
plan by the ST. Peter Herald. The
st. Peter Independent takes the
same friendly stand, as follows:
1.-THE feasibility of an electrical
street railway connection between
the two cities, at present seriously
considered by number of prominent
men in both places, commends itself
at once when the amount of travel
and the inadequacy of railroad &C
commodation is taken into considera-
tion. The practicabilitY of the
scheme has been apparent to eastern
capitalists for years and if the citizens
in both places will agitate the pro-
ject it will be matter of only short
time when the electric street car line
will be an accomplished fact. That
it will prove to be profitable invest
ment can hardly be doubted. There
is perhaps three times as much travel
between ST. Peter and Mankato than
between any other two places in the
Minnesota valley. Give us an electric
line and this can easily be trebled.
1t would perhaps be good idea to
call a meeting of our business men
and discuss the practical features of
the enterprise"

NORFOLK. VA. Sept H.-Special.-
This afternoon. Alfred and Isaiah Raw
les. (colored) while sittins in the door
way OF their parents home in Hunters
Lane, Portsmouth. became involved in a
war of words which ended in Isaiah
pulling a gun and firing point blank at
Alfred. who staggered In the house ana
fell across a bed with n bullet In the
right lobe OF his liver. Isaiah fled and
has not been found. Alfred will die.
Another daring attempt was rlade TO
break out Of the county jail In Ports
mouth last night. Ell Rodgers, one
armed negro, doing time for disorderly
conduct, and James Wilcox, serving 60
days as suspicious character. secured a
pewter spoon and a piece OF wire and
picked a hole through the outer brick
wall.
Day broke before they succeeded IN
making the hole large enough 10 crawl
through and their purpose was then dis
covered. The men said they were anx-

other way OF getting there Justsnow.
