ENCLOSED ARC LIGHTS
WILL BE PUT IN
COUNCIL DECIDES FOR IMPROVEMENTS
IN LIGHTING SYSTEM.
General Electric Company Gets Contract
for 81, 976.60. InCIosed Arcs Supe-
riOrto the Lights Now Used.

| 80 INV @t8uAo tNVW O0Uus
At a cost OF nearly two thousand
dollars Improvements are to be made
in the street lighting service, the
lights now used to be supplanted with
inclosed arcs. The council voted that
this should be done at its meeting
last Tuesday, and the bid of the Cen
eral Electric Company of Atlanta was
accepted, that house agreeing to re-
equip the street lights as stated for
S1,976.60.
The council has had the matter I'M
der advisement for some time, ana as
The News forecasted several weeks
ago, decided favorably for 1t after
lengthy consideration and investiga-
tion into the expense and utility of the
improvement.
The inciosed arc lights are superior
in many respects to those now in use
on the streets of Dawson. 1t is claimed
that they furnish a steadler and more
satisfactory light, and in the long run
are much more economical, as they
have to be trimmed only once every
two weeks. They will be shipped
from Atlanta in October, and will be
installed and ready for use In a short
time after their arrival.
Dawson already has one of the best
electric plants in the state, and with
the approaching improvements no
town can boast of better system.
Several thousand dollars have recent
ly been expended for dynamos and 9TH
er machinery, and practically all the
electrical apparatus is new.
Dawson may we'll feel proud OF it's
electric light system.

Slavery in the Philippines.

The Buffalo Express comments upon
the new government to be established
among the Moros and says that "the
new council will be authorized to ab0l.
lSh slavery, " and It auds: "This is not
only II confession that slavery has con-
tiDued TO exist under the American flag
but spparantly there has not even br. n
authority TO abolish 1t hitherto" The
Express then proceeds to quote the
constitution on the subject and says:
mot all the advantage which the
possession of the Philippines can pos
sibly bring to the United States could
Offset the harm done by this demon-
stratiOn that the military power can
violate the most explicit and essential
clauses of the constitution with i'm
punity."
The Express ought to have learned
before this that colonies are governed
outside of the constitution and that il
is this very thing that the demo.
cratic party has been obiecting to.

BY POISON.
Unique Effect of Anthony on Body
Revealed In q London Trial.

Revealed In q London Trial.
Expert analysis turned the lightOt
science strongly upon the Southwark
poison case at the police cOurtinL Lon
don the other day, when Georges
Chapman or Severino KlOwsH, the
borough publican, was placed in the
dock for the fourteenth time on the
triple murder charge, says the Lon
don Mail. The little black bookswhic
have figured in so many trials were
again produced by DR.. Stevenson, the
home office expert, who gave the re-
suits of his searching analysis In con-
nection with the first of the three
women whom the prisoner is accused
of poisoning. Chapman, with his
hair carefully brushed, a new tie
neatly adjusted, and wearing his
frock coat, was seated for the first
time between a police constable and
a prison warder, the court %jailer, az
usual, standing by the dock and Civ
ing him fresh supplies Of foolscap
for his ever-increasing mass Of notes.
For the first time, too, Mr.. Arthur
Hutton appeared as counsel for the
prisoner and exposed some Of the
witnesses to a raking fire Of cross-ex-
animation. DR.. Stevenson told how
he superintended the exhumation OF
the body of Mary Isabella Sphinx, and
took some of the earth surrounding
the coffin, analysed it for poison, and
found none, and then dwelt upon the
amazing preservation Of the body.
After five years in the grave the head
and features were so well preserved
by the anthony with which the body
had been Saturated" before death
that they were as little altered as
though only buried that day.
1t will be remembered that wit
nesses had sworn that Chapman
told them that this particular Mrs.
Chapman" was a hard drinker. Dr..
Stevenson stated that he could dis
cover no trace of this. "Antimony,"
said the expert, SIS a metallic irritant
poison, the effect Of which is to
cause great pain and gastro-enteritis,
of which there YER marked traces in
the body"
The fact that he had found 2.42
grains in the liver showed that .
large dose must have been taken
shortly before death. 1t would take
from two to five hours for a dose Of
this poison to become absorbed by the
body, but some of it would be abb
sorbed within an hour.
"Was the immediate cause Of the
death of Mrs. Sphinx gastro-enteri-
tis?" he was asked.
eyes, caused by anthony" he re-
piled.
What is the cause Of this remark
able preservation Of the body? An
timony preserves a body; it mummi-
ies it. This particular case is unique.
l cannot find one like it on record.
Then the distinguished expert
mentioned a number of interesting
facts about anthony. 1t could be
easily dissolved in water, but not in
really good brandy. In ordinary pub
lic-house brandy a small quantity Of
it in the form Of tartar emetic could
not be seen. If the brandy were %
degrees under proof an ounce would
absorb two grains and still look quite
clear. An ounce Of water would alb
serb 20 grains. If tartar emetic were
put into ordinary brandy and water
it would be quite clear. This was the
first charge Of antimonial poisoning
since the Bravo case in 1876.
