ELECTRIC LIGHTS OUT.
The Arc Service ON ThOrOuEhfnres
Very UnHatisfactory.

The Are Service on ThOrOuEhfares
Very UnHatisfactory.
Since Friday. evening last the electric arc
lighting service on the streets and avenues
Of the city has been, Mr.. w. c. Allen, the
District electrical engineer, states to the
Commissioners, in very unsatisfactory
condition. This service IS furnished by the
United States EllEFSSsrtc EllEFSSsrtc Lighting Company
and 1t appears aromIa statement OF Mr.
Allen that the company has been compelled
to change the mechanical stoking apparatus
on its five boilers lack TO the hand system.
While this work Is Being DONE and the
company states that Is being done as
rapidly as possi5fe t5fe lighting of the
more NOR - or u M less = unsat.s aetory:
1t is stated tha TIA st fff'riday night the arc
lights were out factiSally all night. and
that Sunday nightht was more unsatisfac-
tory because the1stofHs and other estab-
lishments which Nsas 1many incandescent
lomewhst sneS rs better as q8s saturday night but
it was from 9:48 b!nE ito midnight before
these lights weranstHted up. 1t is said
that the great ynunlher Of incaHdescent
lights burning at this time Of the year so
reduced the steam pressure on the boilers
ers could not feed the coal rapidly enough
to keep the steam up to 1s0 pounds. the
normal pressure. Mr.. George h. Harr1es.
the vice president of the company, has
promised the munlclpal aulifoIitfeS tuaI lhe
necessary changes on the boilers will be
completed by the last of this week, when 1t
is expected that there will be no further
trouble. ssN
Mr.. Allen states that while the company
receives pay for only. such lights as burn
and for only the length Of time they are in
service, there is no penalty clause attached
to the contract witifsthe company by which
it can be pepalized for Its failure to keep
the lights burning Such q clause has been
inserted in every contract. he explains. bu,
the company, he says. has invariably re-
fused to sign 1t until the clause was omitted

Mckinley Sure Of 273 Votes in the
Electoral College.
ESTIMATE OF REPUBLICAN MANAGERS
Good Prospect Of Obtaining 80
Other Votes.
THE OUTLOOK IN MISSOURI
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, October %, 1900.
At republican headquarters there is an
air Of complete confidence. Aside from
the general reports from all over the coun-
try, which are most encouraging, the chair
men of many state committees have been
sending in reports, and these reports. after
they have been carefully digested and com
piled, give the republican ticket vote of
273 sure in the electoral college. 1t must
not be understood that these votes are all
that the republican managers claim. There
are at least three states that are considered
likely to go republican, which would bring
the figures up nearer the 300 mark. Now,
the state which the republicans feel conf
dent of carrying, as far can be learned,
are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illi-
nois Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Massachu-
setts. Maine. Maryland. Michigan, Minneso-
ia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Washington. West Virginia. Wyoming
and Vermont. This give a total of
273 1t does not include Kentucky.
and Chairman Leslie Combs of Ken
Heath of the republican national commit
tee, inclosed a poll of the entire state by
precincts, which gives the republicans
handsome majority. Now, add kentucky's
2s6. 1t is we'll to eliminate Colorado. for
the best advices show that the republicans
have little hope of carrying that state AS
to Idaho there is great confidence, and
1dahos three votes would give Mckinley
$50 Montana is doubtful. Montana's three
votes in the electoral college would run
Mckinley'S vote up to 292. Nebraska with
its eight votes, gives good assurance of a
hard tight with the chances favoring the
publican ticket, and this would mean a
total vote of 300 in the electoral college.
Nevada is democratic. although there is.
way down in the hearts of the republican
managers. lurking suspicion that Senator
Stewards state will be found in the right
column. Utah, the last to be consd-
cred. is expected to give it's three votes to
Mckinley. If all the possibilities are decid-
ed in Mckinleys favor his total vote in the
electoral college would be 3O3.
Perhaps there is better qualified
to talk on Missouri politics than Mr.. r. C.
kerens. member of the executive com
mittee from that state Mr.. kerens has
always been regarded conservative
politician, and this year surprised his as
Sociates the executive committee by
holding out cnance for republican sue
cess in his state. To quote Mr.. kerens'
own words:

E1arpimg ON MCCreery's Si1ksy

Is the sweetest music we have been
able to make for some time for the
ladies OF Washington. Our sales on
these fine Silks Yesterday alone
equaled any one OF our four days
selling OF last week. Confidence IS
victory. and that is why we always
win. On the first day OF November
we celebrate the advent OF our eighth
year in Washington. In that time
we've accomplished more and gained
the good will and confidence OF every
one as much as any concern that IS
represented among the mercantile
houses OF Washington. Remem-
Der, we are not done yet. We
are going to thrive by hard, earnest
work to surpass all our previous
doings. McCreery's Silks will be the
first course on the menu this entire
week. Don't tire of this tempting
dish. It's the most palatable of all
our offerings.

As a result of a shooting affray
in the G. F. & I. Cos. mine at
Brookside week ago Monday
night, Charles O'Niel, formerly of
Crested Butte, but now night mine
boss at that place, nearly met
death. John Dillon, a machine
runner, was the assailant. The
affair occurred in the mine at mid
night and there were no witnesses.
1t was the elimination of trouble
between the two men which origi-
mated sometime previous. All eff
forts to locate Dillon have proved
futile, Notwithstanding the large
reward offered for his capture.
O'Niel's condition was very pre-
carious at first, but he will probab-
ly recover. His principal wound
was by bullet which entered
through the cheek, ranged down
ward through the neck and lodged
in the shoulder. He was also shot
twice in the hand.

The attention of the PILOT has
been directed to the fact that last
week horse owned by Alex. Clark
was found dead in the meadow
north of town, having been shot
through the fore parts with rifle
ball; and also, that one of ID. V.
Miners horses had been wounded
in the hip by a bullet. These un-
fortunate happenings were certain
ly not the result of any deliberate
attempt to injure the animals or to
cause a loss to the owners. They
are undoubtedly traceable to undue
carelessness by people who are ac-
customed to practice shooting on
the outskirts of town. These men
and boys, using guns of calibers
large and small, fire indiscriminate-
ly at objects animate and inani-
mate, taking little or no heed rs to
where the ball will spend its force.
Particularly in the case of the new
5000 rifle is this exceedingly dan
gerous. for the wonderful range of a
gun of that caliber renders it
effective at distance of mile or
more. We trust that this too pro-
miscuous shooting, not only near
town but out on the hills also, will
be stopped, because it is serious
menace to the safety of people as
well as animals.

Following is given the coal and
coke production at the local mine
during the month of July: Coal,
26,072 tons; coke, 6,5S5 tons.
With the exception of one month
in which a night shift was employ
ed, this is the heaviest production
ever made here in single month.
And it occurred in a summer month,

Frankie Perry Fatally Shot.

A sad happening occurred at the
Perry ranch, one mile below town,
at about O'Clock Sunday after
noon, whereby frankie, aged 10
years, only son of our townsman,
John B. Perry, was shot in the
head by bullet fired from %
caliber rifle. The ball entered at
point nearly in the center of the
forehead and lodged somewhere in
the base of the skull beyond the
reach of probe. While the little
fellow has fingered for couple of
days, recovery is not to be hoped
for in any event.
Charlie Falsetto, little italian
lad of about II years of age, was
the only person present when the
affair transpired, and he claims
that frankie accidentally shot him
self while in the act of looking in
the barrel of the gun, but this is
controverted by the absence of
powder burns on the victims face.
Many conjectures have been form
ed, but the exact circumstances OF
the deplorable occurrence will prob
ably never be known.
Mr.. Perry is nearly frantic over
the boy who was his only solace
and pride. The blow is a severe
one.
