Wickey's Men Expose Themselves.


The electric light squibler on the
News says that the contract for light
ing the city was not let to the lowest
bidder and that the city and citizens
could have been saved $4,000 if the
council had accepted the last PROPOSE
ton from the Famous company.
Let's see. Mr.. Simons lights the city
for so per arc light; the Famous COM
pany was to receive S72. Their price
on incandescents were exactly the same.
But it is true Alderman Leonard
came out with second proposition
from the Famous company which pro-
posed to light the city all night for
S62.50 and to furnish incandescen's for
40 cents per month. This was after he
failed to get the council to accept the
Famous company's bid at S72 per light
and 30 cents per month for incan-
descents. To those councilmen, who
were crediting Mr.. Leonard with hon
esty and with working for the interests
of the city, it was evident that Mr..
Leonard himself considered the S72
proposition of the Famous company
better for the CITY than the S6250 propo-
stion, else he would have presented the
S62.50 proposition as first choice in
stead of second choice. If Mr.. Leon
ard, who had examined the S62.50
proposition, had less faith in it than he
di0 in the S72 proposition of the Fa-
nous company, how could any one ex-
pect the other councilmen, who knew
nothing of it except as they heard it
read, to have faith in it? The council
men sin. ply reasoned this way: Alder
man Leonard favors two propositions
from the Famous company. His first
choice is the S72 proposition; his sec
ond choice is the S6250 proposition
And whereas Mr.. Simons proposes
to light the city for 50 per light less
than Mr.. LeOnards first choice of the
Famous company's propositions, it was
their duty 90 give him the contract
which they did. The council acted
wisely under the circumstances, and
Alderman Leonard, and his "Me toe
Tommy" Dickinson got into a position
from which they cannot extricate them
selves. They canaot explain their posi-
| tion to satisfy the public.
If the S62.50 proposition was the best
for the city why did not these alder
men try to get it accepted in the first
place instead of insisting upon the So
| proposition? If the S72 proposition
was the best proposition from the Fa
NOUS company, why did they insist up
on it's acceptance in preference to the
so proposition from Mr.. Simons? Ii
they were deslrous of saving the city
money why did they not vote for the
Simons proportion and save 50 per arc
! light? This is the situation in a nut
shell.
They have simply convicted them
selves in the public eye of being extra
ordinarily anxious to give the contract
to the Famous company. We hope thai
that extraordinary anxiety was promp
ted by their intense interest in the city's
| welfare

The Accepted Contract.

MIR. SimOns, whose contract for light
ing the city was accepted Monday night,
agrees to put Ia duplicated plant
two engines, two boilers and two dyna-
mos. Thus. if at any time one gives
out, there will be no suspension of light.
The present machinery will be over
Lsuled and made as good as new. The
new machinery is to be absolutely new.
The contract is for all night lighting at
so per arc light and 90 cents per
month for each incandescent light, flat
rate; or one-half cent per hour meter
rate. The contract extends over a
period of ten years. He agrees to fur
nish renewals free, and all new arc
lights free. The old plant, including
t le wire, will be overhauled and made
modern. There is provision by which
the city can buy the plant at the end
of five years, the price being fixed by
arbitration. This new contract dates
from Feb. Is, 1900, but Mr.. Simons will
put in new machinery at once, having
already ordered the same to be shipped.
A point was raised Monday night OBJ
jecting to the term nominal" candle
power. That the people may under
stand, we will state upon information
that the term is a technical term, 1t
has fixed meaning and cannot be
varied. The term is used In electrical
engineering to designate a certain fixed
thing which can't be varied.
Candle power measures brilliancy. A
watt is measure of the intensity of
the current at the point where the light
is produced. The brillIancy varies
with the intensity of the current. The
intensity can be measured but the bril-
liancy cannot. A so nominal candle
power equals one watt of intensity. So
there is always way of finding out if
lamps are producing the candle power.
These points may be of interest to
those who have never given thought
on the subject.
"Nominal," as used in connection
with candle power, has different
meaning from the common accepta-
tion of the term.

Killed at Lakeyille.

Last Saturday night Bert Snyder and
Frank Crssher were run over by train
near LakevIlle. The former was killed
instantly and the latter is so badly In
jured that he will die. The boys, il
seems, were on their way home from
Lakeville. They were riding down the
track and were In front of the Snyder
farm when the accident occurred. Ii is
thought that they saw the train coming
and tried to get to the crossing before it
met them. Both boys were carried into
the house by their relatives.

Resignation Not Accepted

Just before the adjournment of the
common council Monday, Aid. Morris
offered his resignation which was not
accepted. Mr.. Morris does not enjoy
being placed in such critical positions
as he has been in for several weeks and
prefers to devote his attention strictly
to his own affairs. No doubt he will
continue in Office till his term expires,
but it is not likely that he could be in
duced for love or money to take the
Job again.

MONEY TO BURN.
A Man Who has More Money Than he
Can Handle.
Clarksburg Telegram.

Clarksburg Telegram.
Mr.. O. A. Amman the genial agent
0f CiIe b. & o. railroad at this place
is probably the only man ia the coun-
ty who has more money than he can
conveniently handle. This seems to
be paradox and impossibility, but
the facts explain away the mystery
and make it easy to understand.
There are three penny slot machines
at the depot; the music box. the candy
box, and the weight machine. The
music box which plays a fine piece of
music twice for one cent is owned by
a man who lives in Baltimore. He
owns several hundred of these ma
chimes which he has placed in rail
road stations and other public places
all over the country. They yield him
a large income. The railroad COM
pany gets twenty per cent and the
agent ten percent of what they make.
The one at this place collects between
50 90 and $1,000 every month. The
candy machine which Is owned by a
New York firm which buys the privi-
lege Of the B. s. O. takes in about the
same amount, while the weight ma
chine makes about $500 or $500
monthly. The machines are managed
by Mr.. AMMAN, and they bring him
more than twenty dollars in pennies
every month.
Some time ago the collection be-
came so large that he sold $25 worth
of them to the Merchants National
Bank. Since then he has beer un-
able to dispose of them. He has
aDuut 500 in this small denomination
which he keeps in his office in a sack
like SO many chestnuts.

Worse Than Not Stopping.

An Englishman travelling in Mary
land had occasion to investigate the
running time of the trains that pass
ed through the small place where he
was stopping. Carefully searching
time table he found apparently that
there would be an express train due
at o'clock that afternoon. The En-
glishman was on time with his grip,
etc, and so was the express train.
The intending passenger watched it
approach and thunder by the station
at top speed. The traveller was an
noyed, and, turning to colored man
who stood near, remarked:
"That train didn't stopln
mo, SIR replied the colored citi-
zen cheerfully; 'sdidn't ev'n hes tate.
