Jay morning at IL o'clock, grant a hearing
III the matter of awarding the contract for
haphtha street lighting during the coming
hscal year. Mr.. Nlcolai was one of those
VINO recently submitted bids in the matter
ne beng the second lowest bidder. The
lowest bidder was the American DeyeIop-
mont Company of ST. Paul, MINI. but n is
cohtended by Mr.. Nicolai that a test made
OF the power OF the lights showed that the
lamps submitted by Mr.. Nicolai. and which
ne proposes to use gave a candle power OF
twenty-five and a fraction while those of
the 81. Paul company averaged but a frac-
lon above sixteen. The specifications IL is
stated, require the lamps to average at
least sixteen. and in view Of the fact that
the lowest bidder met this requirement the
commissioners decided to award the com
tract TO the Minnesota company The con-
tract, however. has not been signed bv the
three Commissioners, Mr.. Ross il is stated

GOES TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
George Grant SewelI, Convicted o.
Murder, Receives His Sentence,

George Grant Sewell, colored, convicted of
the murder of Susan Mahoney, the 9th of
last October, was today sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life at hard labor in the
West Virginia penitentiary at Moundsville
Sentence was imposed by Justice Cla-
baugh, in Criminal Court No. 1. 1t will be
remembered that the verdict of the Jury
sitting in the case was, Guilty indicted,
without capital punishment" 1t was the
first and only qualified verdict returned in
this jurisdiction since the passage of the
law vesting with juries the power to make
the punishment in murder cases imprson-
ment for life instead of hanging
In brief, the story of the crime was that
the 9th of October Sewen visited Susan
Mahoney, a colored woman who lived apart
from her husband, Occupying a room in a
West Washington house. While he was
there several other persons, including a
woman, called. Sewell pleasantly took his
departure. He returned, however, in five
or ten minutes. While he was in the hall
way, just outside Susan Mahoneys room, a
pistol was discharged, and the woman, a
moment later, was dead. After a scuffie
with one of the men in the house, Sewell
proceeded to a nearby police station and
surrendered himself.
At the trial ii was contended in behalf of
the defendant that the shooting was en-
tirely accidental. The fact that the govern
ment did not clearly establish any motive
on the part of Sewell, it is understood, had
considerable to do with the return of a
verdict that was qualified.
