REPORT OF THE CITY ELECTRIC.
IAN.

The report of City Electrician Levi L.
Cummings contains the following state
ment of the Improvements made In his
department.
There have been purchased five street
sional boxes. located as follows: No. III.
corner Cumberland and Montgomery
streets; No. I'll, Grand Trunk elevator;
No. 63l Spring street, near Oak street;
No. S15, corner of Emery and Taylor
streets, and ono to use in case of accident.
Five keyless doors have been put on in
Mace of the old style. This, [ believe,
Is the right thing to do, and that more
should be put ON each year until all
needed are supplied. -Four fire alarm
boxes have been moved from poles to con-
neot with the underground cables. The
fire alarm underground system has been
attended from Pine and Congress streets
to Vaughan streets and from City hall
cast to Washington and Congress streets;
and the police system from Pine and
Congress streets to Vaughan and Con.
oress streets, and from City hall east to
Franklin and Congress streets. The
go-k is nearly all finished. There has
heen delay occasioned by the hardness
in the arrival of some of the posts. A
small appropriation is recommended for
Zach year to extened the underground
ersten as it is much safer, more per-
m3anent, and has not as yet given parti-
Gle of trouble.

MR.. REDLON WILL SUPPORT MR.,
RANDALL.
20 the Editor Of the Press:

TO the Editor Of the Press:
Considerable has been said lately rela-
tive to movement on the part of GER
tain citizens to substitute the name of
Nathan z. Redlon for that Of the regular
Rep lblican nominee for Mayor in the
present municipal election. I can state
Of my own knowledge from conversation
with Mr.. Redlon that he is not canii-
date for the office of Mayor; that he has
not authorized the use of his name as
candidate by any body OF citizens; that
he is now, and has been, actively sup
porting the candidacy of Mayor Randall,
and that he will both work and vote for
his election, all statements to the contrary
Notwithstanding. AS this has been the
position of Mr.. Redlon all the time, he
sees no occasion for any public state
ment from him relative to the matter.
If any movement is on foot to use Mr..
Redlon's name to withdraw support
from the regular Republican nominee in
this municipal election, I can state with
certainty that such movement has neither
his encouragement nor support
Mr.. Redlon is thorough going Repub-
lican and believes in giving loyal support
to the regular nominees Of his party.
Yours very truly,

Peace in the Wright .Eauilv

The attorneys of Tom Hicks Wright
and tie cOnteSting heirs Of Uncle
Jimmy Wright reached a settlement
during last week whereby the estate
OF the late j. W. Wright is to be
divided equally among the four child.
rem Of the deceased: Shannon Wright,
Tom Hicks Wright, Mrs. Ann Broad.
hurst and Mrs. Amanda Dietrich.
The estate includes eight quarter
sections of land and twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars worth of per-
SonEl property. The quarrel over the
estate began Immediately after the
death Of Uncle Jimmie Wright, and
promised to be bitterly contested in
the courts, The litigation had not
progressed farther than the fling of
two suits in district court, one to set
aside a decision Of the probate court
refusing to appoint Tom Hicks
Wright administrator Of the estate
and another to set aside the noncupa.
tive will, alleged to have been made
by1. W. Wright on his deathbed.
The sudden termination of the liti-
gation is understood to be at the d.
rection of Tom Hicks Wright, to
whom practically all of the deceased's
wealth was beQueathed in a written
will.
