Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for persist
ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Joe Golobick, Oh
Coiust, Calf, writes. For Is years L
endured insufferable pain from fsneu-
matism and nothing relieved me
though I tried everything known. 1
came across Electric bitters and it's the
greatest medicine on earth Tor mat
trouble. A few bottles of it complete
" relieved and cured me-" Just "a
good for Liver and Kidney troubles and
general debility. Only Eac. Satlsfac-

which is the most substantial kind, ten
years for use.
Mr.. Turrentine said that the kitson's
Oldest lights in Wilmington were as
good as new ones However, he said,
the city could afford at tie end Of three
years TO throw the Kitson lamps away
and would still have saved money. He
said that Mr. Geo. o. Gaylord is now
using eight kitson lamps at his estab-
lishment on North Front street in place
of electric lights, and II Is now costing
him less than $50 per year when before
il cost him several hundred dollars.
Mr.. A. B. Shedding asked if 1t was
bly, that the city lights now would
suffice ten years later. He stated that
since the new lamps were installed last
September that nine of them had burn
ed every night and all night in the bus
mess part of the city.
Mr.. MacRae called attention to the
| fact that it would require the employ
ment of people to nightly light the
lamps and ~extinguish them the next
morning.
Mr.. Yates moved a non concurrence
| of the contract and Mr.. Orrell seconded
this motion. which was carried.
Mr.. Wilder voted against a n~on-con-
| renee and spoke in favor of the Kitson
lights.
Chairman Mcqueen asked Mr.. Mae
| Rae if his company would continue to
| light the city under the old contract
until the matter was settled.
Mr.. MacRae replied in the affirmative,
although, he said, such a procedure
was exceptional. However, he stated
.Lo+ .ho oJ1nrpoan WOULD have tn oo+ in
the matter as soon as possible.
EXCURSIONISTS' PARK.
The appropriation of $500 by the al
dermen to fit up a suitable place fol
the convenience and comfort Of excur-
ionists and which place the public
building committee selected as the city
hall ward. was considered, but actor
was deferred until more definite infor
nation could be obtained as to the ex
pense to be incurred and the nature o
the conveniences and comforts proposed
to be made.
STREET IMPROVEMENT.
The matter of permanent street i'm
provement was taken up and fully dis
cussed. 1t was decided that at presen
| an appropriation of only $40, 900 could b
made instead Of $50, 900 appropriated b
the aldermen.
