Tho contracts under which portions or the Bor-
ough of Queens are being lighted expire within

borough has started work on reorganization OF
the whole system. The plan he is adopting looks
toward much more general distribution of the street
lights at less expense to the taxpayers. The pres
ent system is divided into many parts, relics OF the
DAYS when each locality had its own governing
board The result is that miles OF farm lands are
well lighted while some well settled portions are
In darkness. 1t is proposed to reverse this

In corn fields and in swamps. where person may

lamps Ia the lamplighter and he not every night.
The price for the lights in all parts Of the borough
IL said to be high. In the First Ward 81 IS year
IS paid for each arc light. This the Deputy Com
missioner considers about so per cent too high.
Similar high rates prevail elsewhere.
The plan proposed Is to abolish the lights which
now furnish the field mice and potato bugs light

streets that are used occasionally. The main thor
oughfares are to be nearly perfectly lighted as

TRYING TO COUNT TAYLOR OUT.
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS WANT TO THROW
OUT ENOUGH COUNTIES TO GET
GOFBFI, IN

Lexington KY. Nov. ~ (Special).-This has
been busy day for the politicians. as there was
much log rolling" going on all over the state
The Democrats are trying TO break down the
plurality of Taylor and have made all sorts
of claims. They cannot get away from the fact
that on the face Of the official returns and the
unofficial returns from the few counties YET
out Taylor's majority is now shown 10 DE
1885 The most Of the work being done by the
Democrats is the seeking of evidence to show
that frauds and irregularities were perpetrated
by Republicans in the mountain Repupncah
counties Of the XIth District. So far they nave
had little success and 1t looks as II they VIII De
unable to find a county with a Republican ma
jority large enough to do them any good WHICH
they can throw out.
The intention is to throw out enough hepuo-
lican counties to give Goebel majority and
the State Election Commission Will then give
him a certificate Of election and demand that
Governor Bradley inaugurate him. This Gov
ernor Bradley has positively declined to do lie
saws that should the face Of the returns show
that W. S. Taylor fas been elected he Will in
augurate him, and will not allow Goebel to take
the seat Goebels friends are apparently ready
to commit any overt act, and have threatened
personal violence to Governor Bradley II ne does
not seat Goebel The Republicans are Kept
posted as to the movements going on, and are
alert. They believe they will succeed In beating
the Goebe machine unless the state Election
Commissioners throw out whole counties.
The uncertainty about seating Goebel has
given the friends of former Senator Blackburn a
shock, for they fear that should Goebel not be
made Governor he will enter the lists against
Blackburn for the United States Senatorship
and man with GOebels ability to get things
through the Legislature would. they think, be
dangerous opponent of Blackburn. Many of the
newly elected Democratic members Of the Legis-
lature are supposed to be strong Blackburn men,
but 1t is known that nearly every candidate for
the Legislature nominated by the Democrats
had the Endorsement Of Goebel 1t Is openly
stated that Goebels sole object in wanting to
be Governor to put himself in line to be-
come United States Senator from Kentucky, and
few will deny that he would push Blackburn TO
the rear II he stood between him and his am
bition.

plurality Of 100. This done by throwing

but the certificates returned by the precinct off,

refused to allow these votes to Taylor and the
matter will go before the State Board
Similar attempts have been made in other
parts of the State to throw out votes, and some
counties are being held back by Democrats
