gate the lights OF the city last night.

Tenth and Hull Streets and went out tc
Decatur. At Ninth and Decatur, they
found the light burning, but very dim.
The reflection did not extend ten feet
from the post. The lights at Twelfth
and Fourteenth were burning all right on
one side, but owing to some defect in the
carbon, one side gave practically no light
