Light Question Discussed.

There was public meeting of citizens
of Mount Holly at the America Fire Com
pany's house on Thursday night. The
meeting was called by the Township Com
mittee to hear the views of taxpayers rela-
tive to the making of a new contract with
the Public Service Corporation for lighting
the streets of the town.
The committee some time ago advertised
for bids for lighting for one or five years.
There was one bidder-the Public Service
Corporation-and its rates were as follows
On one year contract-arc lights $105 each
per year incandescent, $3.50 each per
year. On FIVE year contrsct-src lights
$95 each per year incandescent, $14 10
each.
The one year rate on the number of lights
now used is $870 higher than the annua
cost would be under the five year bid.
The present Ave year contract expires on
April LIST next. The new bid for five years
for incandescent lights is at the same rate
as the old contract the new rates for arcs
is SO less each per year.
During the discussion at the meeting
several citizens called attention to the fact
that residents of Mount Holly are charged
81. 25 per 1000 cubic feet for gas, while the
price at Burlington and Columbus is 81
for the same gas furnished by the same
company.
A motion was offered. as the sense of the
meeting, that the Township Committee en-
ter into five years contract for street
lighting, provided the corporation agrees
to furnish gas at 81. This was passed, bu
afterward reconsidered.
After considerable more discussion q mo
ton was passed requesting the committed
TO make q one year contract, the idea being
that during the year information can b.
obtained relative to erecting a municipal
or other competing plant, and the extr'
cost of $3.50 for one year may prove to b.
good investment.
] Many complaints were made that tn
lights do not furnish the required candl
power, and that there Is considerable varia
ton in their brilliancy during the night
facts well known to the residents of tn
! town.
A motion was passed requesting tn
Township Committee to petition the Put
lie Service Corporation to furnish gas t
Mount Holly consumers at 81 per thouasn,
cubic feet,

Small Convicted of Murder.

The prosecution of George w. Small TO
the murder of Miss Florence w. Atkinson
ended on Tuesday afternoon at 8 80 o'clocl
and for two hours and half the time wal
occupied in summing up by counsel anG
the charge of the court.
During his address to the jury. it wai
claimed more than once that Prosecutor
Atkinson was misQuoting counsel for the
defence To prevent further alleged acts
of this kind, T. Logan Gaskill appealed
to the court, but without success. AS the
matter was annoying to him, Mr.. Gaskill
left the room, taking an early train for
Camden. and he was not present when the
judgment of the law was pronounced.
The charge of Judge Hendrickson was
quite lengthy, lasting ten minutes over
the hour. he laid considerable stress on
the legality of the confession, which was
a prominent factor in securing conviction.
When the jury retired recess was ia
ken until o'clock, at which time the
court house was filed, many ladies being
present.
Asked If he had anything to say why
judgment of the law should not be pro-
nounced, the culprit replied: Nothing,
only am not guilty"
Small was then sentenced to be hanged
on Saturday. March "a, at which time Ru-
fus johnson will also die for this crime,
making the first double execution in the
history of the county.
The death watch was Immediately put
on the murderer, who says he will seek
spiritual consolation and become converted
declaring that he is not afraid to die as he
did not commit the murder
There were two dramatic incidents con-
nected with the ending Of the trial, the
two murderers, Small and johnson, hav-
ng been called as witnesses to testify for
the defence.
Small took the stand, and under the SOL
emnity of an oath declared that he did not
kill Miss Atkinson, neither did he see
johnson commit the crime. The latter
murderer was brought into court, but be-
cause Mr.. Gaskill began to cross examine
him on statement made in Jail when the
confession was given, Judge Hendrick-
son checked the proceedings and the con-
demned was returned to his close confne-
ment. johnson said he enjoyed the trip
to the court house very much. When he
entered the building he was smiling, as if
entertaining the hope that favorable turn
in his case had developed.

Need Mill at Palmetto.

Every day now adds to the urgent
demand for suitable mining facilities
for this camp. The leasers on the Pal
metto and Death Valley ground are all
reaching a point where they will be
able to supply a considerable tonnage
to such a plant and the same is true of
those working on the Ida Queen. Be
side these a no insignificant quantity
could be depended upon from other
parts of the district; there are many
prospectors at work who could send to a
plant several tons each month and that
would add materially to the output of
the mill. In the meantime the mines
are being developed and it will be only
a matter of a short time until 100 OF
more stamps could be kept pounding
away. Herald.

May BE a Dry Town.

The Virginia Enterprise says that
Wadsworth, one of the best known
towns in western Nevada, once a rail-
road city of considerable magnitude,
may soon be a dry town, the only in
the State of Nevada. This distinction
is about to be thrust upon the place by
the Interior department of the United
States government, as the Indian
bureau fears that liquor is in some
manner, finding its way into the hands
and stomachs of Piutes quartered on
the Pyramid Lake reservation. The
whole of Wadsworth is within the res
ervation lines.

MINING in THE
BULLFROG DISTRICT
4 Brief Resume Of the Reports Of
the Week.

The shaft in the Homestake CONSOLE
dated in the Bullfrog district is down
250 feet and good values have been
obtained the entire depth. Fifteen feet
of high-grade ore has been found in the
20O-foot level that will yield from a con-
sentative estimate SIS per ton, although
some has been found that will go as
high as $500 to the ton. A drift has
been run rs feet to the south from the
shaft along the hanging-wall, exposing
rood milling ore the entire distance.
From this point a crosscut will be run
to the opposite to ascertain the width
of the shoot. In practically this same
shoot the Gold Bar company is taking
out and shipping 5000 ore. The shaft of
the Gold Bar adjoins the Homestake by
only about 20 feet.
The shaft at the Peerless will be
equipped with new hosting machinery
las soon as the same can be brought in
by raid to meet the requirements of a
new double-compartment shaft which
has been started and will be sunk at the
intersection of the two lodges. A cross
cut tunnel has been run 100 feet show
ing a 6-foot ledge which carries small
values, but it is expected that it will
reach one of the larger lodges o
This ore is characteristic of the Be-
nanza which is manganese quartz.
This property is under the manage
ment of P. A. Busch.

fence for transportation car be had

parts and says: "'The showing is the
biggest, for the age Of the camp and
the development done, of any district !
have ever known, and | can hardly be-
lieve what | have seer with my own
eyes,"
He further says that his company,
after sampling fully 80 per cent of the
ore shipped from Tonopah, Manhattan
and Goldfeld, finds that it will show al
average yield of from $50 to sos pei
ton, while that Of Cripple Creek, in it,
palmiest days, could boast of no higher
average than $40 a ton. At the present
time $40 per ton would be a fair average

MASS MEETING DISCUSS THE "T" RAIL
 PROBLEM. interested Property Owners Hope to Get Together" on Street Car Line Extension Matter

There viii be a large meeting of the citizens of this city and espec ialls the property holders and resi- dents of East Sixth avenue to consid el' the prospects of the proposed East Sixth avenue car line, at the Ohio street Baptist church, Friday night A. Harper and Rev. S H. Campbell are the prime movers ill this move nent, as they have always favored the extension of the proposed line The members of the city council and al! the city officials have been iovit ed personally.
 The matter to be discussed is whether the Citizens Light and Tran sit company shall be allowed to use the s.r'' rail instead of the, eirder rail on Sixth avenue. The subject will be discussed pro and con and a warm dicussion will probably be had
 Most of the property owners on this street are said to favor the ex tension of the car line, as shown by the. number of names and the amount of property represented in the pet tious to that effect to the city coun cil. Some of the people oppose the extension because they do not want the street they have paved and Will have to pay for to be torn up by the laying down of q street Car llne and also they want this street tef' so that the country people can come to town on it.. as it is the only street lett that is open.
 II should be stated that the Cltl zens Light and Transit company can },u a line down on this street when ,syeY they want to if they use the .jrder rail as their franchise calls for. The company claims that 1t can moi obtain the girder rail for some lime. possibly year. and surely not until November, and it will be cohslo cred whether it is best to allow tlcn' to use the s'T' rail for speclheo number of years as they have on West Second and West Sixth. If this privilege is granted. the street cal company has agreed to lay said llhe at once. and has promised not to teal uu and prevent traffic on over one street at a tune.
