BEATS ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Official Report on the Discovery of a New
Illuminating Gas in Germany.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-Consul Deu-
ster, at Crefeld, Germany, reports to
the state department a discovery made
there which, it is said, revolutionizes
the method Of illumination. 1t is an
incandescent gas. A single jet of or.
binary size can emit a light Of much
more than LOCO candle power and fine
print can be read at a distance Of 100
feet. The inventor says the cost for a
light of 1000 candle power is only AZ
cents per hour while that for an ordin-
airy electric light Of 400 candle power is
ii cents per hour.

Philadelphia Aldermen Kissed on
Account of a Franchise
Deal.
Gave Away What They Had Been
Offered Ten Million Dol
lars For.
The Only Thing Which Can Pre-
vent the Steal Is the May
Or's Veto.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. - Amid
cheers, cat calls and Kisses, which the
police vainly ~endeavored to prevent, the
common council Of the city of Philadel.
phia voted away the most valuable
property now owned by the city,
namely, the gas works, worth at least
$40, 600, 900.
The members who opposed the deal
spoke bitterly against the proposed Leg
;slation. The members favoring what
is called the ''grab" said nothing.
Finally their leader, Mr.. Van Osten,
arose and moved the previous question.
At that time the galleries were filled
with citizens. The question being or.
dered, the roll was called and The vote
stood IS to 81 to give away for 50 years
this immense property: A scene OF
great confusion followed. Shame"
some one in the gallery shouted, and
there came IN a moment such & storm
of Misses as has never been heard in the
council chamber of Philadelphia before.
In vain President Hartman pounded
his gavel OH the desk in an attempt to
secure OIucI. A1C IuuAAy S0AAOA uPoA
the police and a dozen or more officers
ran into the galleries but no sooner was
one man elected than others took up
the cry. 1t was over half an hour be.
fore the galleries could be cleared.
Ten Million Difference in Bids.
Early in the session a communication
was read from what is known as the
Baker syndicate, which has bid for the
gas works. This syndicate, composed
of reputable and responsible men, for
mally offered to take the lease OF the
works on the same terms as the pro-
posed ordinance gives them to the
United Gas improvement company,
and in addition to pay down lmme-
diately 5 $1,000, 900 in cash and $500, DOC
annually for 80 years, thus giving the
city $40, 900, 900 for the lease. The
United Gas improvement company,
which was voted the control proposes
to pay the city nothing, but instead in
sists that it shall charge the private
consumer 81 per thousand feet for gas
for the next 30 years.
The only thing to prevent the dea
going through is the mayors veto. Be-
fore election he promised to prevent an,
such measur going through.
