A Fearful Accident.

AS we go to press news reaches the
city of a fatal accident which occurred on
Rice's hill, near 15Mile at noen today.
No particulars as to the accident could
be obtained other than that Mr..
Gardiner and Miss Reese were on their
way to this city to be married, when, on
reaching Rice's Hill the horses became
frightened and ran away. The young
lady was killed and the young man in
iured seriously, perhaps fatally.
NOTHING definite as-te-the~ terrible af-
fair can be at present obtained. This
hill is said to be in bad condition and
covered with ice.

THE LIGHT THAT FAILED.
No Agreement Being Reached Wo stiIl
:Grope Our Way in Darkness.

And now it comes to pass that the
light shineth not in the darkness; but
that our hopes, which have been centered
on the fifteen arc lights which were soon
to illuminate our city, must be blasted
by the bIackness of darkness which en-
velopes the streets at night.
But why this state of affairs when
everything seemed to be settled in re-
gard to the matter? just this, that it
takes two to make bargain. and until
those two can come to an agreement the
lights will not be forthcoming.
When the council passed the ordinance
over the mayors veto the latter was
still given the right to make the con-
tract with the Electric Light Company,
the members of the council failing to
take into consideration the fact that the
authority to take the matter in his own
hands was as good as veto to the
mayor, for certain it was that the COM
pany would not accede to any contract
which might be drawn up by him, re-
gardless of their right; nor vice versa.
The company had agreed to furnish the
CITY Will ullSSn VI <OOO CdAOlO
power to be burned all night at an ex-
pense of $40 so each, the contract to be
made for two years. At the same time
it was understood that the lights were
to be placed at any of the twenty posi-
tions which the former lights held, as
the expense OF putting them in would
then be lessened for the company.
A contract which had been presented
to the council by the company, was not
accepted. The former then drew up
another contract presenting the same to
the latter. The second document pro-
vided for the placing of lights at many
places removed from where they former
ly were. After looking over the matter
Mr.. French, manager of the company,
saw plainly that his company could not
without great loss to itself, place the
lights in such positions, the expense of
extending the lines being between $500
and 5000. Already they would be COM
PEELED at about 5000 expense to purchase
machinery, not considering other outlay
| necessary.
On account of the variance in regard
to the matter and lateness of the season
it was decided at meeting of the direc-
tors of the Electric Light Company not
to consider further any propositions,
but to let the matter drop for the time.
Therefore the light question rests, and
for this winter at least, we will remain
In darkness, which is greatly to be re-
GREETED.
Those who have. looked into the matter
| [the council iDcluded) have come to the
conclusion that the price offered by the
company is very reasonable, and that
some agreement should have been
reached.

Reports from Crawford are to the
effect that all tramps ~or~'vaes" that
wear pants, are as>soon as discovered
in that vicinity arrested by Marshal
Spearman and taken toyFt. Robinson,
examined, and requestedrde join the
regular army. This is endorsed by all
good citizens as a good move, recruit
ing the army with men who need it's
discipline and are benefited by it and
doing away with the tramp nuisance
at the same time. Send all the tramps
to Crawford and they wiz be cared
fol. -Ch0dson Neus.
To the contrary, no good. citizen en-
vdorses an action that leads TO impress
ing tramps, "vags", or. hobos into the
service of the United States, in any
capacity whatever, and especially in
or army, which should be composed
of the first: fewer of our nations man
hood-honest, intelligent and honor
able Americans,
The war department realized this
and also the necessity of a change in
the personnel of the army, and in 1895
issued general orders relative 30 en-
listments, disbafring foreigners, slliter-
ateS. eX-cOnyicrs and those who were
unable to procure satisfactory refer
elces as to good moral character. If
our army is to be recruited fcom
tramps, hobos, ETC., it is better that 1t
should be diSbanded.
What, beside the flag of our coua-
try, is calculated to inspire in the
breast of car ordinary citizen a more
patriotic spirit, more bursting pride
and love of God and country than the
sight of our regular army boys in blue?
Then shall we seek to compel these
brave boys to associate with the scum
of creation, and shall cur tramps,
hobos and 'yags" carry Old Glory into
battle, wearing the uniform designed
for an honest, honorable soldier? No,
neither would the editor Of the News
uphold such an outrage to our army if
he was a regular soldier.
