 Passes Away.

Edward Taylor, better known to his many friends as "Doc" Taylor, is no more. After being a sufferer for many years with rheumatism, he passed away at 10:45 o'clock last night at his boarding house. 1720 Fourth avenue
 MT. Taylor was one of the early set tiers of this city, having accumulated much valuable property, some of which he owned at the time of his demise. He was a nephew of President Zachary Taylor, but never made any boast of his ancestry, being of modest and re- tiring disposition. He was 42 years of age.
 MT. Taylor's mother survives him, and is at present residing in Louisville. where it is thought the remains will bo taken for interment.

 That day the members of a theatrical stock company came in and registered at the same place. The soubrette, a dainty little bit of femininity, who has made great hit with her "Mr. Johnson. turn me loose" was assigned to room 1e4.
 There was nothing remarkable in either instance, but what followed re- minded one of the much-quoted Com edy of Errors"

hundred American municipalities have expermented with public elsctric-light- ing plants. Included in this number are the cities of Chicago, Detroit, Jack sonville (Fla.), Little Rock (Arlk.), Bay City (Mfch.), and Dunl1irk (N. .Y.).
 PhiJadelphia's gas plant experiment is said by tha opponents of municipal ownership to have been a failure. It is admitted that it's mana cement by irre- movable trusteles has been bad Yet gas has been furnished steadily and is today being furnished to Philadelphia con- suners at 25 cents per 1000 feet cheaper than to New York consumers In 1895 the net balance of r. ceipts from the pub Ilc gas service of Philadelphia was $115,- S53.05, and the city used $63S OOO worth of free gas besides, making a total net profit to the city of $754,3 And if the PplE laIdelphians had paid $1.25 a thous- and for their gas. as did New Workers, they would fave paid $7SS, ,9S9 more for it than they did. So. granting that it's management has not been what it should be, it is nevertheless true that for the year 1895 the publicly owned gas service of the Quaker City saved to its people in one way or another a grand total of S17O2, 100.
 Chicago became the owner of its cleo trio lighting syst m in 1887. Today the city owns 2,254 arc lamps of 2,000 candle power Their average cost, including all items, is $96.40 per lamp per annum. Chicago Is at the same time leasing 200 lamps of exactly the same power from electric lighting companies and pays $137 per lamp per year for them. Here, then, in the same city dit plainly appears that municipal ownership saves to the tax payer $40.70 on evisry lamp On the therefore, over s50.000 a. year, calculated on the basis of the price it is actually paying for the lamps 1t leases from private corporations.
 Louisville does not absolutely own its gas and electric lighting plant, but it is the controlling stockholder in the com pany that supplies 1t with both kinds of light. Under this arrangement, which is almost municipal ownership, Louis- villes streets are lighted with 1,O74 cleo tric lamps al a cost of SS750 per lamp. New York and Brooklyn pay from $146 to S1S2 each for lamps of the same power.
 A body of private citizens, incorpo- rated as the Capital Electric company, is supplying the city of Springfield, ILL, with it's electric light. Practically, though not in name, the plant is owned by the municipality. The result is that. after allowing psr cent on the cost of the plant, the city's arc lights are fur nished at a cost of $60 per annum, which
The age-herald., 1897-11-06

heretofore paid but little heed to this question. The consumption of gas, to certain extent, has been limited.
 One merchant stated yesterday that the price of gas was so high that in self defense he was compelled to substitute electricity This was only one instance. Undoubtedly there are others.
 Alive to the Issuo
 That the statements made pro and con have left the public mind deeply inn pressed with the feasibility of cheaper gas is self-evident. It has become the main subject of discussion wherever thinking men congregate.
 Dollar gas is the issue and dollar gas 1t must be and shall be.
 The people who have been using gas never realized the exorbftant rates they were paying, compared to other cities, until this agitation was begun by The Age-Herald. That they do so now and are demanding cheaper gas no one can or will deny. In this connection 1t is not amiss to give space to expressions from the interested public.
 Other City Fathers
 Yesterday morning the expressions from nine thoughtful members of the board of aldermen were presented for consideration. Today five others add their voices. The board is practically unanimous in the demand for cheaper gas. The company will not be allowed to continue to violate it's contract.
 Alderman Harrington: "I am always heartily in favor of anything that Is for

THAT TIMID YOUNG COUPLE
WHO WERE MARRIED WEDNESDAY NIGHT HAVE ALREADY PARTED.
She Sought an Avenue of Escape From a Life of Sin, But Her Fond Hopes, Near-
 ly Realized, Are Shattered.

That the course of true love never runs smooth was aptly verified by the troublesome experiences of 2s-year-old Edward B. Howell of Atlanta
 Wednesday, night he appeared at the office of the Metropolitan hotel and reg played a written statement signed by Rev. H. G. Davis, of St. Johns Method ist Episcopal church, setting fonth that the marriage ceremony had been solemn ized on that day and that he was the husband of Miss Lou Ella Gibson. The young man refused to speak of his new-made wife, her relations or ether connections.
 In the face of recent developments, the existence of which facts being known to him, it is probable that shslne de- tered him. Of himseli he spoke freely. His uncle, he said, was Capt. EYaa r. Howell, the weIl-known Atlanta EeYa- paper man; he had been a msmb;r cfiiae 9 Pryor street fire department in that city. He claimed the young lady of his chcicc was visiting friends in thls city, .ecd the marriage was "Gretna Green' af- fair. Everything seemed regular and the gentlemen In the ho,tel office were profuse in their congratulations. Victor Cugin, the efficient night clerk, was pres ent, and assisted the young man in his seeming embarra ssmerit while enduring the interview, which is a necessary pen- atty for having become fsanous-or mar ried.
 Now the fond hopes of the enthused lover are shattered. According to him, his life is empty and ambition has no shining mask. He has returned to the city of his nativity, and his wife-bac elk to the old life of shame in a gilded pal ace of sin.
 Yesterday afternoon the wife, for she still clings to the fond memory of her short-lived welded life, told the story of the incident. She did not love him, had only known him since Monday, but, like hundreds of her class, was tired of the nameless life she was leading. Young Howell met her Monday and said he loved her. He begged her to marry him. Tuesday he reiterated his pleas, and finally won her consent. She had left one husband on account of inhuman treatment and sought an easy life. Illus band No. 1 had secured divorce; she was tired of her new life. In order to again lead an honorable life, she went with the young man and the wedding occurred.
 Thursday morning the young husband left her. He said he was going out of the city to make arrange ments to se- cure position. Hours rolled by and he returned not.
 Investigation showed that he had failed to pay their expenses at the hotel. The woman grew suspicious, and, for the first time, calmly reflected on her act. She deposited a diamond ring with the hotel clerk and returned to her for mer home. There she is now and the young man, so recently made her hus- band, has informed her that he will seek a divorce.
 q of course did not love him." said the girl, "but I am so heartsick with this existence that I gladly seized the op- portunity to again lead respectable life. If he were to request it, I would go to him at once." tat

is about half the cost of the same lights supplied by private corporations.
 Detroit established g. municipal cleo fric lighting plant in 1S9i Ths first offi- cial report showed that 1t cost SS4.70 per lamp to light her streets instead of S1S5.S0 per lamp. as it previously did. The Detroit experiment. is limited to street lighting.
 Not the largest, yet ore of the most striking. object lessons in municipal ownership is afforded by Dunkirk, N. Y. In 1888 Dunl1irk established an elec- tric plant by which it's water supply and lighting service are jointly furnished. For the year ending March 1, 1S97 al- lowing fully for interest on the invest ment and all other items of cost, Dun kirlk's seventy-flve arc lights, of 1000 candle-power each, were furnished at an expense to the taxpayers of sS954 per yeai-just about one-fourth the cost of the electric lights furnished to New York by privately owned plants.
 Little Rock, Ark, has maintained it's own gas and electric lighting plants since 1888. The city electrician states that the cost of the citys electric light last year, including every item of ex- pense, was $41.20 per lamp per year. Mayor Wood says: .I have examined the published reports of a large num- Der of cities in the United States, but have yet to find a single city which op- crates it's own plant so cheaply as Little Rock" As compared with the $41. 20 per lamp which Little Rock pays for it's electric light the price paid per lamp to private companies by the following named cities are worth noting: Boston, $1Ss per lamp; Philadelphia, $16O; Wash ington, $138
