STATEN ISLAND STILL DARK.
street Lights Were Out Again Last Night
Mayor Appealed To.

Mayor Appealed Toe
The situation in regard to the lighting OF the
streets OF Staten Island remained unchanged
yesterday. and there were no lights last night.
At the once OF the New York and Staten Island
Electric Company many protests were received
from citizens who wanted to know why the
street lights were out. General Manager j. II.
Swinarton said yesterday that he wished IL
understood that his company was waiting to
turn on the lights again on the assurance that
the lighting would be paid for In the future.
In regard to the $4,000 now OWING, he said
he would leave that to the adjudication OF the
courts.
No movement toward the settling OF the
difficulty was made yesterday by the city
authorities. On the island there are 451 city
arc lights and 2,97S city incandesoent lights.
The bill for these lights was increasing at the
rate OF about $4,000 a month and Mr.. Swim
arton said his company could not stand the
strain any longer. Continuing. he said;
1T Is to our interest to have tho lights
going. Our machines are standing idle. but
We will not start them until the city authori-
ties make some proposition. II We had been
dealing with q private corporation we would
have shut OF long ago. but we felt as IL We
owed something to tho people and that is the
reason we have kept running so long.
Edward +. Miller. Deputy Commissioner OF
Public Buildings. Lighting and Supplies Tor
Richmond. said Yesterday that he thought
some arrangement would be made to-day for
having the streets lighted tonight. George
Cromwell. President OF the borough. sent the
following letter to the Mayor:
AS you have already been advised by COPY
OF M letter Of Sept. 27 to the President Of the
Board OF Public Improvements. which was for
warded to you by resolution of said board. the
situation in the Borough OF Richmond respect
ing the lighting OF its streets and public build
ings ts very ser ious.
Since the writing OF the letter to which
have above referred. the electric light COM
pany has taken the step anticipated In the reso:
buttons quoted in my letter, and last night all
| total darkness As the result, the citizens Of
| this borough are rot only greatly inconven-
| fenced but the dangers to property and to per-
| son are greatly increased. Steps should be
taken at once to relieve the present situation
and some Temporary arrangement should be
made for the lighting Of our streets pending
| the determination OF the validity OF the con-
| tracts under which the light has heretofore
| been supplied by the New York and Staten
Island Electric Company
Il am informed that the occasion for the
| turning on OF the lights by the comps Is the
failure of the city to pay the bills for the light
| actually furnished to tho city by the company
| from tho 1st OF January. 1893 up to the pres
| emit time.
Il beg respectfully to request that you will
| take such steps as lie within your power to
bring relief to the citizens OF Richmond

4 WIIE'S APOLOGY.
To Get Her Husband Back Mrs. Lancaster
Wrote This Letter.


John Lancaster, superintendent OF a silk
mandatory. asked Justice GeEerich OF the
Supreme Court yesterday to confirm the re-
tween him and his wife Mary as to the GUS
tody OF their five children. The Lancasters
separated about year ago under an arrange
ment by which tho mother was to keep tho
children and have $40 week alimony. The
referee reports that the father should have the
custody OF the four older children. but that the
youngest should be left with the mother
There was evidence that the mother had sent
the children for liquor and drank considerably
at times. On tho other hand, there was evil
dence that the father used to take two OF his
sons over to the factory and let them fight so
as to harden them. and that the boys came
home bruised to their mother The following
letter WAS submitted. which Mrs. Lancaster
wrote to her husband after their separation:
