ceny. preferred by Nicholas Pruche ito.

ated TO his own use a pocket book con-
tanning $50 belonging 10 the prosecutor.

the breaker. as he pulled out his hand
kerchief, his pocketbook came with it

into his own pocket and Nefused to re-
turn It, The latter had fellow-coun-

which allowed of the production of
greater power at lessened costs. At the
present time the Lackawanna company
is supplying light to Mayfield. Jermyn
Archibald and Jcssup. both for street
and commercial service, from the plant
in Carbondalc.
The matter of street lighting in this
city Will be one of the things on which
the new company will focus it's alten-
ton. The LackaWannu company has
virtually had Il monopoly of this item
of the lighting business, as the Gas
company, even with the introduction of
the Welsbach system of lighting, has
been greatly handicapped. Even with
this handicap. the Gas company has
put up stubborn fight TO divide this
contract. This however, is too well
knoWl as the most conspicuous among
the doings of councils for the past year
to specially direct ones attention to it
ut this time. The old fight will be re-
newed in the spring with increased
spirit Tho effect will likely be lower
rates, with perhaps increasing vigilance
in maintaining the service to its high
est efficiency.
