A BLUFF AT CONTRACT
Famous Board Of VacillatOrs Cannot
Put I'm nm FcTectrs. Plant


Yesterday members of the Board OF Works
and Board Of Safety and Mayor Taggart lis
tened to arguments In behalf OF the bidders
for putting in an electric lighting plant in
Tomlinson Hall. Those present listened and
argued just the same as If the board Is In
a position to award a contract for the ma
terial, which 1t Is not.
The only reason for receiving bids seems
to be that the board wanted to know what
an electric light plant would cost. For this
purpose the representatives of several cleo
trio companies have paid their expenses in
coming here to look over the building and
make estimates. All of this is cropping in
the dark. because to make a contract now
for lighting plant would place the men,
bers OF the Board Of Works subject TO the
provision Of the charter making 1t a penal
offense to contract for anything for which
money has not been appropriated.
No money has ever been appropriated for
this purpose. and there has not even been
request that an appropriation should be
made. With the present condition Of the
city's finances Ii is extremely doubtful IL an
appropriation can be made, or at least IL
made Ii would necessitate a temporary loan
nues OF the city are less now than year
ago, and the expenditures have been consid-
erably increased, not including the extraor-
binary expenditure for fire department equip
ment and for the addition TO the City Hos
pital.

MRS. JUDAH'S SOUTHERN STORY.
An Interesting Tale from Life Among
the ColOred People.

Mrs. John M. Judah was the speaker last
night at the Contemporary Club, and gave,
an original story of negro life In the South
in her own inirnitable way. Since Mrs.
Judah has lived in Memphis she has been
much interested in the condition Of the COL
ored people. and many OF them have told
her their life history before the war, during
the war and since the war. The name of
the story Mrs. judah gave was THE Main
Wife," which means the first wife, and the
sad history was told Mrs. Judah by the un-
fortunate second wife. who had married, as
she supposed legally, having been told that
the first wife was dead. First OF all she
told OF her child life while living with her
master and mistress. her story glowing with
beautiful pictures Of them, surrounded by
their own children. and the children Of their
slaves The plantation experiences were
filled with chapters OF their pleasures. pic
tyres OF their plays, their smiles and tears,
joys and sorrows. She. like all the rest of
the children, grew up to womanhood and
learned to love man, who was slave as
devoted to his master and mistress as she
was 10 hers. They were married and, like
many of their kind, after the war they by
hard work. industry and economy prospered
and were happy with each other, but forgot
many OF the happenings previous to their
experiences together.
The main feature Of the old woman's life
was that she was married to a man who had
slave wife In another State from whom he
had separated, and whom he supposed was
dead. They had lived happily for several
years. and he had been ordained to preach
in the Methodist Episcopal Church. 1.-The
Main Wife presented her claims. She was
needy. old and poor He was conscientious,
religious and good, and sne was undoubtedly
his legal wife. The mental struggle OF the
second wife. the giving up of home and
rights, the continual cross she bore while
trying to persuade herself that she was
right. the unselfsh yielding up the place
they had earned together. the suffering she
endured, the calm that came after the storm
of regret and discomfort was picture OF
Southern life seldom heard about in the
North. Mrs. Judah, in telling the story, was
remarkable in her dialect. and the word pic
lures and quotations were worthy a Mod
ieska. She wore an exquisite costume OF
white moire and pearls. After the relation
of the story a social hour was spent. and
Mrs. Judah's many friends were given an
oDpOrtunty TO meet her

CHEATED OUT OF $500
CITY LOSER THAT MUCH BY A CON-
TRACT LET BY SAFETY BOARD.
Opening Of Bids for . New Fire En-
gine-Plncing OF the New
Electric Lights.

The opening of the bids for new fire en-
gine yesterday by the Board oz Safety
showed how the city has been cheated out
of 500 by the action of the board in award
ing a secret contract to the American Fire
engine Company. The bids opened yester-
day were for first-class fire engine. The
American Fire-engine Company offered to
furnish a new engine, an exact counterpart
of the one recently placed in headquarters,
for $500. The one recently bought cost
5000. AT first the company asked $500 for
the one now In use, but finally it was seen
by the bidder that the sale could not be
made at that price, and a new bid was sub
mitted at $1,000. The board finally said this
bid would be accepted if the company would
add few sdndries. which are worth prob
ably $50 to SO. This was accepted and the
engine was bought
Now the same company comes forward.
when it is known that there will be some
competition. and offers to duplicate the
present engine for $A5OO. 1t is not claimed
that the cost of material and work has
dropped $500 in the last five months, but
the effect of competition has been to re-
duce the profit of the company that much
and make q saving to the city, although
the Ahrens engine was not bought this
time. ~H
The Asnoskeag company. OF Manchester.
N. H, offered to put In an engine on prac-
tically the same specifications as the All
rens engine for si5oO, but the La France
Engine Company. of Elmira. N. Y. bid 81
800 for similar one. This bid was accept
ed. and the engine is to be delivered within
sixty days. The engine is guaranteed to do
as good work as any engine now IN use
here. and If it does not when 1t is delivered
it is, to be taken away by the company
without expense to the city. This means
that it must do exactly the same work as
the new Ahrens engine. which cost 5000,
or there will be no sale.
The engine will have a capacity Of ,00C
gallons minute, which is one hundred gal
Ions more than was claimed for the Ahrens
engine by the builders when it was tested
here this spring, but is the same capacity
as Is claimed for the Ahrens engine in the
specifications. 1t has two steam cylinders
eight and three-quarters inches in diameter,
and pumps fives aud one-fourth inches in
diameter, with d nine-iEch stroke. II mas
a copper tubular boiler. and will weigh
about 5000 pounds.

WHEAT ADVANCES 1-2C
BAD CROP NEWS CAUSED CHICAGO
WHEAT TRADERS TO COVER.
Other Grain Was I'm Sympathy with
the Leader md Provisions
Closed Firm and Higher.

CHICAGO, June Bad crop news gov
erned the ideas Of wheat speculation to-day,
and July closed at an advance of about nc
after an early loss Of lzc. Corn. oats and
provisions ruled frmer and closed higher,
though no important advance was made in
any case.
There was a fair speculative trade in
wheat, the market ruling quite active at
times, being subject to rather frequent
changes within the established range Of 1Ac.
The weakness during the early part of the
session was attributable in a measure 20 the
disappointing tone OF the Liverpool advices,
the market there being quoted unchanged,
which in face OF yesterdays rise on this side,
was taken as a little significant Then the
weather map was generally favorable. North
western receipts were again liberal, amount
ing to 373 cars, and London reported Russian
wheat very weak. Under all this holders lost
confidence and sold out. Short selling was
free. But after selling of 1xc the decline
was arrested. Missourfs crop report showed
points loss during the past month. and 1t
was followed by one from Ohio, showing
loss Of two points there. Minneapolis
wired that shipping purchases of wheat there
a hs S
concerning the Kansas crop, and the senti-
ment became more bullsh, with shorts COW
ering generously. The Northwest also sent
in good buying orders, aud with clearances
again fair, the price steadily improved, SELL
ing up ssc from the low point. July opened
about 1sc lower at 561zc, fell quickyly to SEQ
561sc, the gradually sold up to $3.50. The
market continued to improve during the last
hour. The late crop news was all bad and
shorts were covering. There was also in
vestment demand and July sold up to 57Ac.
closing firm at 571sc.
Corn was quiet and steady. Prices were q
shade easier early in the session on larger
local receipts than expected and in sympathy
with the decline in wheat, but later as crop
damage reports continued to come in prices
advanced ard a firm feeling prevailed at
