SIX TO FOUR.
The Aldermen Refuse to
Raise the Taxes.
Public Business Is Delayed to
HumOr MIR. Clark.
Board IS Looking for More Trouble
With the Assembly.

The Board OF Aldermen were in session
nearly four hours yesterday and they did
not raise the taxes.
The report OF tho license investigation
committee, together with the resolution
accompanying it, was laid over upon mo-
tion of Alderman Darcy, who is strongly
opposed to increasing the license fee as
recommended.
And tho matter OF confirming the city
engineers salary was again postponed in
order to give Mr.. Henry Q. Clark another
opportunity to express his views.
The Board unanimously voted TO ask
the General Assembly at its MAY session
TO modify the returning board bill, SO
that the salaries OF the commissioners
may be fixed by the City Council.
A resolution was passed directing the
commissioner of public works to pave
Washington and Snow streets with
asphalt. There was an amendment
adopted providing that citizens OF Provi-
denco be employed in the work.
In addition to these matters OF general
interest, the Board disposed of an i'm
mepse amount of routine matter, pub
lished in yesterdays NEWS.
The question OF raising the taxes re-
Nichols made a hard fight TO raise the
rate. His amendment to the Council bill
by making IL Sl.70 instead OF sl.65 only
received two votes, his own and that or
Alderman Burbank.
Then there were four members in favor
of concurring with the Common Council
and making the rate sl.65. They were
Aldermen little, Nichols, burbank and
Richards. On the other hand, Aldermen
Darcy. Reynolds, Mccarthy, Fuller,
Pierce and Winsor said little and voted
no, and the tax rate for 1896 Is the same
as II was for 1896.
After the hours discussion relative 10
economy and the city's finances, a resolu-
tion was handed TO member by tax
payer, and 1t was read by each Alderman,
but no one saw fit TO formally introduce 1t.
The resolution was as follows:
A resolution to improve the financial
condition of the city of Providence.
Resolved, That the members OF the
Board of Aldermen of 1896, severally and
saturfes for public services, and rhe SAID
salaries revert back 10 the city treasury
for the public benent.
Aldermen Reynolds and Pierce were ap-
pointed a committee to represent the in
terests of the city at the Newport session
Of the Legislature, their expenses TO be
paid out of the contingent fund and then
resolution was Immediately passed,
transferring $40, 900 to the contingent fund
from the sewer receipts.
Alderman Fuller asked for sl2. 40 to
make up the deficit in the expense ac-
count of his Investigating committee and
got it.
The pay OF patrolmen William l.. Doe,
Thomas II. Little, Patrick III. Dulin, Ed
ward j. Tiernan. and James Keiieher
was raised from S2.75 to s3 per day, and
that of william Z. Koch from $3.50 to
e. 20.

PREPARE FOR SEPT. l9.
Then the Last Trump Will Sound, So
This Prophet Declares.

A most remarkable book has inst been
issued in the little town OF Vlchy, France.
Its author is the Abbo Dupin, cure OF the
village of Dion, and ho declares that he
has discovered indrbitsb bic evidence Of
the approaching end OF all thinge.
The great COUP" IA he calls IL, will,
he assures US, take place in all proba bilisy
on September 10 or 20 of this year, cer-
tainly before tho close OF 1899.
The title OF the hook - curious, and
reminds one of the first pages OF some
Elizahothan romance. Here is part of It.
"ihe grand coup, or universal cata-
clysm, VIII ravage the world between
September 10 and 81, 1896, as foreiold in
the scriptures. The propnecies of the
Old ana New Testament, compare with
those OF thS1ather and with the secrets
of La Sale,te, i'm which are foretold the
great war which will destroy nineteenth hs
OF the human race; the coming of Anti
christ and his reign, after which the
church viii triumph over her enemies
and the reign OF Christ begin on earth. {"
The book Is diviscd into two parts. In
the brst the author foretells the events
which are about to occur, including the
devastation OF the world by wars, earth
quakes and plaques, the birth Of anti
Christi -whese HaetAef, he ssys, A. already
here, and n terrible cataciysn, the nature
OF which Is vague, which viii leave few
human beings alive.
All this, he declares, ne has found, on
unimpearhablo authority, TO be due 10
occur mt the time he states.
The second part contains his reasons
for selecting the time he specifies. lt
consists of n number of elaborate caIcula-
tions OF the kind with which readers Of
similar prophecies are familiar. GONE OF
the coinciaences he mentions are curious

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Niko!a Tesla's Skill 10 R.volutionize the
System Of Lighting.

NEW YORK, May q. -Nikola Tesla has
solved the problem which he set before
nimselt many years ago, and which may
rovolutjonize the system OF electric light
ing. 1t is, electrical experts say, the
nearest perfect adaptation OF the great
force OF nature to the use OF man.
In Mr.. Tes.a's laboratory in Houston
street. isa bulb not more than three
inches in length, which when the current
turns into 10 becomes ball OF light. The
heat Is almost imperceptiulo.
With II n very large room Is so lighted
that IL Is possible 10 read in any corner.
Yet this is done without films and with
out the Attachments necessary in exist
ing lights.
Tho rays gre so strong that the sharp
est photographs may be taken by them.
No new dynamo Is required TO produce
the current. The bul0 is attached TO u
wire connected with the street current.
There Is no danger OF harmful shock in
It's use.
Mr.. Tesla has been working for many
years on his theory ot the necessity and
ttr- rrrrtfcatfffty of tirc -cuurrrvutfcrs of
electrical energy. The present incandes-
cent ligBt gives only 3 per cent, OF illu-
minating power. The other ~ per cent.
Is wasted In heat.
The bulb which be has perfected gives
10 per cent. OF Hight and loses 80 per
cent. OF energy. Dir. Tesla declares that
he will, with tho sid OF few more cx-
psriments, be able TO produce 40 per cent.
OF light. so that the waste VIII be reduced
"a 60 per cent. or 81 per cent. less than
at present.

that our street watering system, while II

the purpose of which was TO compel the
owners or occupants OF the premises
abutting public thoroughfares TO woter

for very obvious reasons il failed, as II
ought TO have done. Indeed, the proposi-
tion had very little To recommend IT, but
very much that deserved condemnation.
III the house owner or occupant were tho
only one using the thoroughfare In front
OF his prcmis there might be some JUS
fice in a law compelling him to spenu the
