bedroom. another for a library and
lounging room and another for a
kitchen. OF the big corridor, which he
has to himself, he has made a literary

ing a book about his experiences.

After Sensational Contest Cap
tain Newton, of Hartford,
Conn.,, Is Chosen.

BOSTON, Sept. 4,-The fifth annual
encampment of the United Spanish
War Veterans, which has been in ses-
sion here this week, came to a close
| with the most sensational contest for
! the election of officers in the history of
the organization.
Following the first ballot for com
mander-in-chief, it was that
Captain Charles A. Simmons, of Roches-
ter, n. Y, had been elected by one vote
over Captain Charles r. Newton, of
Hartford, Conn. The announcement of
the total number of votes, however, re-
vealed the fact hat five more ballots
had been cast than had been checked
off. The ballot was declared illegal and
the convention became uproarious.
A second baHot was taken, which re-
suited in the election of Captain New
ton, who received 1872 to 173 for Captain
Simmons.
The other officers elected were as fol-
lows: Senior Recommendations,
Charles E. Stroud. %Sandusky, o.; junior

P. s. c. GAS BILL
IS Hello Up FOR
ANOTHER WEEK
Board of Works Uncertain as to
Fairness of Claim for
$3.50.

The Board of Works yesterday took
up with a representative of the gas de-
partment of the Public Service Corpor-
alton the signing of the gas lighting
contract, and the F.. S. c. representa-
| tive left the meeting with the docu-
ment unsigned.
The old five-year contract at $40 per
lamp expired March 1 last, and at that
time a new five-year contract at SIS
a lamp was drawn. This has not been
signed yet and the p. S. c. claims that
the city should pay for the gas since
the expiration of the old contract at
$40 up to August 1. The commissioners
insist that the new SIS schedule should
go into effect the day the old contract
expired. If the contention of the P. S.
c.. were allowed the city would lose
something like $3.50.
The matter, after much argument,
vas allowed to go over until next
week.
The new amendment to the garbage
ordinance, which provides that garbage
shall be taken from rear yards instead
of being placed on the street line, was
passed on final reading and will go into
effect on September Is.
1t will cost the city $1S, 900 per year
additional to carry out this change.
and the finance committee has notified
the Board of Works that the money
will be forthcoming.
Commissioners Denman and Lambert
protested against the removal of five
cars from the Kinney street line, de-
claring that the service at present vas
not up to the standard.
Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
and superintendent Graham. of the
street railroad company, explained that
the grade on his line was steep from
High street, and small cars were need
ed, as large cars could not be controlled
on the grade. 1t was pointed out hat
the cars were very old, and the matter
was finally laid over for investigation.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd urged that
new water pipes be laid in Market
street. He said that this could be done
by using the fund of the water depart
ment.
The contract for the approaches to
the new Clay street bridge was award
ed to j. b. Stanley for $1,S75, the city
to retain . per cent. of this for V
years as a guarantee that the work
would be satisfactory.
