Company Won't Fight
the Town.
Two Daring Burglaries-Meeting of
the Town Board-Ward Boun-
daries-NoteS.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 14.-The new
management of the Berkeley Electric
Lighting Company will at once place on
the streets of Berkeley the twenty arc
lights ordered by the Town Trustees last
November and which the company, under
its old management, refused to supply, on
the ground that the oompany's contract
with the town does not provide that the
company should make extensions of the
town-lighting system.
John A. Britton, who is now president
OF the company, addressed the Town
Trustees last night in regard to The new
lights and asked for an extension of time
in which to introduce the lights. The re-
quest was granted, and the new lights will
be up by the middle of March.
The extension of the lighting system

figures.

AN AMUSING REBUKE.

An amusing reibuke was recently adj
ministered in England to one of those
sharp bargainers who are always on
the alert to get more than thefr
moneys worth. The offender in the
present instance was woman, who
sent the following advertisement to a
London paper;
"A lady in delicate health wishes to
meet with a useful companion. SIZE
must be domestic, musical, an early
riser, arniable, of good appearance and
nave some experience in nursing A
total abstaiaer preferred. Comfortable
home. No salary"
A few days afterward the advertiser
received by express a basket labeled:
This side up-with care-perishable.
On opening it she found a tabby cat,
with a letter tied to its tail. 1t ran
thus:
'Madam-In response to your adver-
tisement, 1 am happy to furnish you
with very useful comDa nion. which
you will find exactly suited to your
requirements. She is domestic, a good
vocalist, an early riser, possesses an
amiable disposition and is considered
handsome. She has had great expert
ence as nurse, having brought UP
large family. l need scarcely add that
she is a total abstainer. AS salary is

their own conclusions as to who this

the Cassidy-Warner people is evident
from his own statement to the effect
that if $1,000 was deposited Cassidy
would surrender. When Preston came
to Ogden last Saturday morning he had
been supplied with money He pulled
out a roll Of bills and handed one of the
deputy sheriffs $40 10 give to Matt War

Further Draft For Gold VIII Be
Made Upon Great Britain,
LONDON, Sept. IA representative
of the United Associated Presses, as
the result of the inquiries among lead
ing London bankers and fnanciers,
learns that the bankers generally are
in expectation that a further draft for
gold will be made upon Great Britain
by the United States, but none of them
will venture to estimate the amount Of
the draft. AS to a further increase of
the Bank of England's rate of discount,
there is no doubt that the bank will
raise its rate TO 8 per cent. in the
event of any Withdrawal of gold from
England and it certainly would not re-
quire a drain as large as six million
pounds sterling, the sum which it was
reported yesterday might be reached,
to cause a rise in the discount rate.
The Statfst, in an article on the stu
alton, says: Nobody can foresee how
large the American drain of gold will
be but prudent bank directors will lose
not mie in making their discount rate
effective"

CHICAGO, Sept 12-There was a big
rally here tonight of the combined OPP
position to William J. Bryan and free
silver. Hon. W. Bourke Cochran, Of
New York, delivered an eloquent and
notable address at the Auditorium be-
fore nearly 5000 people under the aus
pices of the American Honest Money
league. The only decoration in the
magnificent theatre was a great Ameri-
can flag draped behind the orator and
Democratic statesman. The audience
belonged to the business class and the
frequent outbursts of applause which
followed the rounded periods of the
speaker attested the thorough SYM
pathy with the sentiments expressed.
There were so many applications for
tickets to the meeting that an overflow
one was held in Battery D, which was
attended by 1000 people who listened to
addresses by local advocates Of gold.
Mr.. Cochran was unable to address
the second meeting on account OF
failing voice.

sruL IN CONFUSION.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 12.-There are
no new developments in the bank sit
uation. Bookkeeper Colomb, who has
been in a comatose condition since yes
terday, died at his residence about
O'clock this afternoon. Many rumors
are afioat as to what caused his death.
His friends say it was apoplexy,
brought on by great excitement be-
cause of the position he found himself
in.
The doctor will not give any infor-
nation. If the bookkeepers robbed the
bank, they had outside confederates.
Bookkeeper Lee stoutly maintains his
innocence, and his many friends ut
terly refuse to believe he is implicated
in ANYTHING crooked.
