THE WATSON SCHOOL FIRST.
Zachary & Zachary Decline to Accept
the Wiley School Contract.

The school COMMITTEE for Raleigh town
shin met yesterday afternoon.
The business Calling the committee
together was the refusal of Zachary q
Zachary to accept the contract for cree
ton of the new Wiley school at the
price offered by the committee, which
was $500 below their bid. Also to
consider the matter of building an addi-
ton to the Watson school and making
certain repairs to it. 1t will be remem-
bered that all bids for this We're re-
jected week ago, on the ground that
they were too high.
Yesterday both of these schools were
fully discussed, amid finally it was decided
to instruct the architects to submit new
and cheaper plans for four-room addi-
ton to the Watson school and all neces-
sary repairs.
Bids will be asked ON these plans and

slider this one of the most important
matters ever before the people of Raj
eigh."
1t is certain that if a twenty-year ex-
tension of the franchise should be given
the price of the stock would go up
kiting and naturally the stockholders of
the Water Company jumped at Alder
MAN Miller's proposition, though 1T is
said by the water folks that they accept
ed it reluctantly"
One of the Water company committee
said last night 1.-The city now owes us
about $500 past due. We want this
amount, but we are not willing in order
to get it 10 give the 100000 gallons of
water that would be taken by the auto
matte flush tanks without some sort OF
compensation We would, in order
to adjust the differences between us
an. the aldermen, accede to the de-
mands of the city if they would extend
the contract twenty years But it is not
our proposition to extend the contract,
and we are making mo fight TO that end
We are ready to meet the city half way
to settle the debt due u.s."
The city ought to own its water-works.
Mayor Powell was nominated on plat
form of city ownership. Amy extension
of the contract that defeats or postpones
city ownership ought to be vigorously OPP
posed. Those stockholders who put the
city's interest above private gain would
be willing for the city to buy, and be-
fore the seven year seXpire the city ought
to make arrangements to own the pres
emit plant or construct a new system of
water-worals.
There ought not to be any extension of
franchise by the Board of Aldermen I'M
til the people can be heard from. 1t
would be a bad bargain to trade away
the hone of city ownership to adjust
present differences. The city ought to
pay the Water Company if 1T owes it
anything. 1T ought to require the Water
Company to come up to its contraok
The question of an extension of the
franchise lis in no way related TO the
controversy between the city and the
Water Company A renewal of the con-
tract at this time would be worth at
least $50 100 to the Water Company,
and would postpone municipal ownership
twenty-seven years. Are we ready to
make such concession in order to pay
debt the city claims not to owe?
Raleigh is paying 40 cents per thou
sand gallons of water. The price IN
most towns where the city owns its own
water is 20 cents per Thousand gallons.
LIE Water Company in order to get an
extension of its contract is only willing
to reduce to 30 cents, and thus for TWEEN
ty-seven years deny the reductions which
mmnicipal ownership would bring about.

WANTS A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Speight Accuses Her Husband of
Inhuman Cruelty.

Great Falls, Jan. 4.-If the allega-
uons contained in a complaint filed this
afternoon in divorce suit are true,
there is one man in Cascade county
who is little short of a brute. How
ever, for the sake of his reputation, it
must be admitted that the wording of
the complaint in places is somewhat
vague. The suit is entitled Kathleen
Wallace Speight VS.. George Dawson
Speight, an action for divorce. The
complaint states that these two parties
intermarried at ST. Catherine, in Cana
da, some time in the year of 1885, and
after one year of married life, George
began to exhibit his Unborn cussedness.
However, the complaint does not specify
any particular acts of cruel and inhu-
man treatment until the fall of 1885,
when, down in the town of Glendive,
he grfevously beat the plaintiff over
the head with a poker and otherwise
marred the picture of domestic llar-
mony. No more specific acts of GUS
sedness are named until July Is, 1898,
when Kathleen says he attacked her
with his fists, BACKED her eye, the phe-
nomenon being correctly described, and
caused her to call in a neighbor, Mrs.
Grimshaw. This disgraceful proceed
ing, according to the complaint, oc-
Cured within the city of Great Falls.
On October 18th there was another bout
at fisticuffs. and in this the complaint
says that George tore Kathleens
{ waists and clothes, sand kicked her
into the bargain. Then she ran to the
house of Mrs. Bonesteel Again on De-
cember % George made a black and
blue spot on her neck, and after this
had developed satisfactorily, he knock
ed her out of a chair, threw her upon
the floor until "'she nearly tainted with
exhaustion and fear From what
Katie says, one must infer that George
did not turn over new leaf on the
glad new year, or if he did, he needs
book mark badly, for on January g,
yesterday, he beat her again, bruised
her body and made threats to injure
her sin other serious ways" More
than that Katie lives in constant fear
of her life, for George has threatened
to murder her if ever she dared to ap-
ply for a divorce. From the marriage
has resulted three children, of which
the plaintiff is mother and the defend
ant is father" Kathleen asks for the
custody of these, $50 monthly ali1nony
temporarily and 500 attorney fees. She
also makes an affidavit of INDECENT cir
cumstances and asks permission to
prosecute the case without costs.
