HISTORY OF THE CASE

settles the caae final y and for all time.
HISTORY OF THE CASE
The suit grew out OF the contract be-
Electric Light & Power company for
lighting the city about q year ago.
The mayor signed it at first and
then rescinded his action when
storm Of protests arose.
The company then brought suit 10 the
district court to enforce this alleged
contract but lost. On appeal Judge
Walthall's decision was sustained by
the court of appe ais and it WAS sought
to carry the case to the supreme court
on a writ of error which has just been
refused.
THE NEW COMPANY.
The contract entered into by the
city with the new company will go
into effect April 1st. By its terms the
company was to furnish not less thar
sixty arc lights if the city won the
fual suit and twenty-five in addition to
those furnis he'd by the old company, If
the latter won.
Accordingly tho new company will
now have the entire ligh ting of the
city and the old company can hardly
be expected to survive long. AS the new
lights will be cheaper to the city and
OF 1000 candle power against a nom q al
1900 candle power, and the cost much
less to private consumers, the result
can hardly fail to be brn- fetal.

BOUND TO CAPTURE IT
Before 1t Can Throw Up En-
trenchments And Give
Them a Battle In Its
Own Way

LONDON, Feb. 49, A rumor has
been current here since last evenin e
- the effect that Gen. Cronjs with an
army of 1000 has been captured.
There is nothing to con firm the report.
According to latest advices Cror ls's
army continues to retreat toward
Bloemfontein avoiding battle with the
pursuing British forces by skilful rear
guard fighting. General French has
Joined tho pursuers and his cavalry
should be of great service in heading
off the Boer retreat.
Apparently the whole territory OF
the Free State from the border has
BEEN swept clear Of Beers by Gen.
Roberts's brilliant action. A strong
position of the Beers at Msgersfontein,
IL ia reported, is held by the British.
Kimberley has been relieved and now
all the efforts of the British com u and
er-in-chief are being directe to capture
Crooj's army.
Critics are divided az to whether the
escape of the Beers eastward upset the
plan to bag the whole army at Magers-
fon tein or whether it is aimed to fOroe
them to retreat on B oem fop tein so
as to have them In the open. What
ever Roberts's plan is 1t behOCves him
to crush Cronje's force before it reach
es Bloc mfOp tein. If the Beers reach
the capital, they will be able to en-
trepch.apd give the British battle In
the favorite Boer way. The taking of
81 oemfOntein in this case woul1 be q
di ficult operation snd would not be
effected without besvy loss Of life.

heavy artillery fire and attacked their
