ABOUT GAS LIGHTING.
Council Committee Will Consider 1t
This Afternoon.

The joint council committee on gas
will hold a meeting this afternoon at
o'clock. The question as to the ap-
prOval of specifications for lighting the
city with gas and electric lights will
be considered. At previous meetings
of the committee it was argued that
considerable mOLey could be saved by
having the city divided into several
small districts, especially for the cleo
trio lighting. This proposed plan has
brought out proposition from the St.
Paul Gas company to the effect that
about 100 additional electric lights
would be furnished by the company
at $3.50 per light, ard the ia lights
now in use would be furnished at the
present price, $69.50. The only provis-
ion that the gas company makes is
displaced by the additional electric
lights, be put in service in other pal is
Of the city in place OF gasoline lamps
now used. An official communication
of the plan outlined is expected to be
presented by the company to the com
mittee this afternoon.
The board of aldermen will hold a
regular meeting this evening at 1870
O'Clock. Bids for lighting the 5000
more or less gasoline lamps for 1898
will be opened at the meeting.

vised by F. w. NJ. Cutcbeon, attorney for
the st. Paul Gas company, that the company
will not accept the warrant rendered as pay
ment in full from the city for the period end
Ing June 1. The warrant is for $2,701.71 and
the company claims about 500 more Is due
it. The trouble arises over The resolution
passed by the council directing the comp
troller to pay no more interest on gas lamps
and pcs which have been displaced by reason
of electric lights being put in. The matter
will also come up at the meeting of the board
OF aldermen this evening.

and then left In the meantime
Messrs. Thompson and Kirk were con-
sulting with Mayor Doran as to the
action the committee and the assem-
bly, should take on the resolution in
troduced by Aid. Kenny and passed
by that body. The resolution called
attention to the fact that the street
railway company was operating cars
on it's electric lines for the purpose
of carrying freight and material, while
the ordinance, No. 1927, under which
the lines are operated, provided that
call cars running on said lines of rail
way shall be used only for carrying
passengers" The resolution was pass
ed in the board of aldermen by a vote
of to 4, those opposing it being AL
dermen Bell, Larson, Shepard and AL
lard. The argument of those who op-
posed the resolution in the board was
that the company had the right to use
its lines for the purpose OF hauling
material used in the repair or con-
struction of its tracks.
Aid. Kenny, however, stated that
the company was not confning its
work to material used in building
tracks. but was carrying coal and paw
ing stones The mayor as well as
Assemblymen Thompson and Kirke,
were inclined to the opinion that the
company might have the right to haul
material used over it's lines. and ques-
toned the advisability of having the
resolution passed. Some one of the
trio suggested that the legal depart
ment had better be interviewed on the
matter. and an adjournment was TAX

About Thirteen Men and One Tree.
 In one of the outlying wards of the city Gecently annexed) on last Mon day morning work was commenced in felling large tree. Thirteen men were set to work on the job and on Saturday night the tree was only half sawed up and a portion of the timber removed A correspondent would like to know at this rate what a cord of wood would be worth? and adds lis it any wonder we are short of funds when lot of town farm men are allowed to use up valuable time in this manner, spending much of their time in loafing and watching oneanother?

 Funeral of the Murdered Man
 The Nichols homestead was thronged with people yesterday afternoon at the hour appointed for the funeral. Farm CTS for miles around drove to the house and the roadway in front was literally blocked with carriages. Many of those who viewed the remains were people brought there by curiosity. They were unacquainted with both Miss Nichols and her brother, but the murder had aroused interest throughout that and neighboring hamlets.
 The undertakers, Hawley, Wilmot & Reynolds of this city, were given or ders by Miss Nichols to spare no pains in the preparation for the funeral. The body rested in a chestnut casket cover ed with rich broadcloth The expres- sion was peaceful and calm. The face showed the deceased to be man of strong character hale and hearty in his old age, and apparently many years younger than he actually was. Upon the casket was a plate bearing the in- scription:
