RESULT OF CONFERENCE.
The Franchise Is Revised to Include
the Amendments.

At the meeting yesterday between the
mayor, Board of Public Works and Mr.
MCGOWAN and the attorneys, the franchise
was revised so as TO include all the amend
ments suggested by the committee In ad-
dition that section was amended requiring
the Terminal Company to pay the car tax
on all interurban cars entering the city over
its tracks or the tracks of the indianapolis
Street-railway Company, and using the
terminal station. whenever the cars speci-
fled travel four-fifths of the distance in the
city over the tracks of either company
which tracks are in the streets. This read
ing was made so that it would cover the
Flainfeld company. which has a short
stretch of track inside the city limits on
private right of way.
1t is likely the terminal contract will be
printed for signature on heavy bond paper
before II is sent to the Council. To expedite
matters a special meeting of the Council is
probable, the sole purpose being TO receive
the new contract and refer il 10 the COM
mittee, where ii will supersede the one now
there. 1t is probable that had there been no
objection 10 the phraSeolOgy of the docu-
ment, or any ambiguity disclosed amend
ment would have been Necessary because
of errors in the fist contract. In one place
il was dated 1892" instead of 1902" and in
several references TO the Indianapolis Street
railway COmpanys franchise ii speaks OF il
as the ordinance approved April 9, 1899. -
when the date should be April :, 1899. -
1t is now expected that the franchises will
all be passed at the next regular meeting
of the Council zone week from tomorrow
night earlier, though the city admins
tration does not favor a special meeting ex-
cept TO receive the amended contract
The report Of the committee is regarded
practical vindication for Mr.. joss and
Mr. Winter in their work of preparing the
ordinance. The committee was composed of
two Democrats-Mr. Kern and Mr.. Gavin
and one Republican-Mr. Smith. The sug-
gestions for amendments are also regarded
having been made to satisfy the public
for phraseology that could not be mistaken
by a layman.

PUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY.
Novel Device Used by Western Cow boys in Expediting the Move
 mcnts of Cattle.

Cow punching by cowboys under the picturesque conditions of wild western life will soon be lost art. Electricity is taking the cowboys place, and reports of it's success in this novel field credit the new agency with remarkable success. One of the largest packing firms in Kansas City employs electricity to drive cattle into the beef beds, in stead of shouts, clubs, whips and' prods, says the Philadelphia Press.
 The electricity is applied by means of two insulated wires, connected with the light wires over the catch ing and the knocking pens. The cur rent passes through stick and con meets with two brass points on the end. s'Punchers'' is the name given the sticks. There are two punchers, each six feet long, in the catch pen, and five, four feet long, in the knocking pens The insulated wires are about 20 feet long, thus covering distance in the pen of about 30 feet each. One hundred and twenty five volts of electricity are turned on, enough to make a sharp, stinging sensation, without leaving a mark or hruise on the beef. The work of punching is done in one-half the time and with half the exertion. The effect of the magic touch on the steer is amusing to see. %....
 A steer touched on the left hip immediately throws his hindquarters- as far as he can to the right. Then he cccks one ear straight ahead and one straight back, switches his tail and starts straight ahead. He don't care for second attack. The cleo tricity speaks to him in a language he doesn't understand. There is a look of surprise in his eyes, and he seems to know that all the trouble lies in the end of that stick. He doesn't stop to get mad or howl. He has urgent business at the other end of the pen. That is exactly where the drivers and knockers want him. The new method completely does away with all back rushes and drag ging in with chains, for just as long as the puncher is behind the steer is just as far as he can get in front. The saving of time and bruised meat are also items to be considered.
