History of tltc Deal la
tlio Council.
The now Tliomson-Iloiutoti Electric IJght
company , on ttio Itti of August of this your ,
entered Into n concr.ictvitli tills city to fur
nish 700 olcctrio lampi for street lighting
purposes nt tlio r.ito of0 per year per lamp.
Ttio lighting was to bu b'jgmi on November 1
of this ycnr , tlio contract to run for two
years , each Itglit to bo of twenty cnnitio
DOW or. For fnlttiful compltancu with ttio
terms of this contract , tlio company In
question has given n bond In tliu
sn'ii of fTi.OOO , whii'ti was siKiiod by S. L , .
Wlluy nnil J. .1. Johnson , tbo form or the pres
ident of the compiftiy.
November 1 wits the limit sot for n specific
compliance with the i-ontr.ict , and , so fur ns
nnpcnr.inco no , tbo now Thomson-Houston
Kloctrlu Llglu company has ilono nothing to
keep Its word with the city. It has not notl-
ileci the city that It does not Intunu to fur
nish the light proposed , neither has it niado
any attempt to protect itself ou its bond or to
withdraw the same.
This Is considered a remarkable proceeding
by many cltl/ens who uiihcsi'.atlii'l.v ( pro-
iiouncoIt n sharp trick in the Interest of the
company which is now lighting certain parts
of the city wltn gasoline. If this view bo
correct , thososamo citizens claim the schema
Is calculated to shut out competition In the
matter of puiolluc illumination ami perpetuate -
uato the monopoly enjoyed by the Ohio Street
Lighting company , which is now
serving the city In a very Indifferent man
ner , mil which is bound by no contract
whatever.
The hutory of this case Is frcdh in the
mind of the people , and need but briefly to
bo recapitulated.
On the 20th of June , 18SO , the city entered
Into a contract with the Ohio Street Light
ing company for the lighting of 1UO gasulino
street lamps , and more If required , the light
to bo of twelve cnndlo power at lha rate of
$19 per lamp per year.
It wns understood that the contract , at the
expiration of one year , co'jld bo extended for
two j ears more. Accordingly ; ! ! ! Juno , Ib87 ,
the contract was extended for two years , 15-
U. Goodwill , the manager of thocomn.uivac- ,
coptlng the terms of the previous year.
In Juno of Ibb'J , the contract run out nnd
was not renewed. Neither was another con
tract entered Into to talto its placo. But the
same company has continued to furnish gasoline -
olino k'.mp light receiving therefor the rates
It charged under the original contract.
The latter , it may bo statou , Is vitally defective -
foctivo as far as compelling the company to
fuir.Uti n , maximum candle power. As a con
sequence , for years past , thcro have uccn
hundreds of complaints made regarding the
poor lights furnished but nothing has been
ilono to deduct trom the bills of tlio company
on equivalent for the minimum light which
it has BO often given. Indeed , there is no
authority to do so to bo found in the contract ,
though thcro is when a lunn > lulls to bo
lighted or has boon extinguished by the
wind.
The monotonous existence which the com
pany had enjoyed in this manner , for n long
time was becoming irksome. It was desir
ous of varjlng It and , at the same time , pull
moro money out of the people's pocltots.
It clalm d that it had a now burner which
which would give bettor light nnd which It
would timilsh to the city at the rate of $22
per lamp per year. This was an advance of
$ ! J p.T lamp. The matter was referred
to a commilteo and the latter recommended
that the offer bo accepted.
On motion of Councilman Elsassor ,
however , it was decided to ask
for bids. Several replies were re
ceived , among them being ono from
Cedar Uaptds of S20 for sixteen cnndlo power ;
the Ohio Street Lighting company of $ J3 for
Bixteen-candlo power ; and the now Thomson-
Houston Electric Light company , $ > 0 for
twenty-candlo power. Bids on olcotric light
not having been asked , nnd notwithstanding
that there was n lower bid than that offered
by thoconipany now supplying the light , the
bids were rejected.
The bocond advertisement for bids
brouiiht in Seegcr with a bid of
Sin for slxtcen-candlo power ; the Ohio
Street Lighting company with t > 19 for
slxteen-candlo power. In this case ,
however the electric light company did not
inako its appearance.
The contract was nwardod to Soogcr ,
greatly to the mortification of tlio Ohio com
pany , which had counted upon the support
of certain conncilmeii , which it did not receive -
coivo , as also that of the electric company ,
the support of which , to the surprise of the
then nmnaijor.Captain liell.mystoriously dis
appeared.
The Ohio company then commenced a
fight upon the Sceger contract. The latter , it
may bo stated was n duplicate of
the contract under which the Ohio people
had always furnished tholr light. Yet when
they were knocked out , they pointed out the
fact that thu contract with Socgor did not
protect tlio city in that It did not provide a
penalty for the failure to furnish the maxi
mum candle power demanded by t ho contract ,
The objection was considered a valid ono
nnd the contract was returnedforthorcnsons
mentionedto the council without the approval
of the mayor. The council could not pass the
tnoasuio over the voto.
Again bids were opened , Soegor rising
to $10.85 for sixteen cnndlo power ,
the Ohio people bidding SIS.flO for sixteen and
the Now Thomson-Houston coniDiuy j.0 for
twenty cnndlo uower.
The contract was awarded to the latter
butas before stated , the company has strung
no wires , erected no posts to comply with Its
agreement.
This Inexplicable conduct was greatly
marveled nt by many taxpayers and wonder
Decamo the greater the moro inattontlvo the
city scorned to bu regarding the matter.
Finally , at the lust meeting of the council ,
Councilman KKasser Introduced a resolution
referring to the inactivity of the oloctrlo
company and suggesting the appointment of
n commlltoci to inquire ) what the Thompson-
liouston people proposed to do In the pro
mises , This committee was appointed nnd
consists ol Messrs. Elsassor , Ulunior and
U'uttlo.
Those councllmon will moot on Monday and
endeavor to bo ready to report on next Tuos-
tluv ovonlng.
No councilman could explain yesterday the
unusual conduct of the olectrlo people but the
impression Is general as has been hinted that
It simply proposes to protect the Ohio com
pany in Its present Job , at least until tlio hu-
tor can bo driven out or confirmed In their
contract by a now understanding. It is not
nopnront yet , however , how the Thomson *
Houston pcopla ran do this without forfeiting
the $3,000 bond which they have plvou to
begin illuminating tomorrow.
Tlio suspicion that the two companies last
referred to uro working together
Is strengthened by the fact that
the Ohio folics have , slnco the
contract wns uwnrdcd to Thomson-Houston ,
put In probably COO now burners , repaired
their lamps and othcrwlso'thelr plant as If
they had u monopoly on the gasollno business
for all time.
"That doesn't look , " savs Councilman
Elsassor"as it they felt that Thomson-Hous
ton were going to shut thorn out. If they did
not tlilnlt that they were going to be all
right would they go to such uxponso for
a few mouths ! Thoy'vo put lomo
of ttvo'io new bunion in my ward , The
burners keep nil right for a couple of weeks ,
mid then you've got to take a lantern to llud
thorn , oven when they're lighted , "
1'roslilont U'lloy of the Thompson-
Houston people was outof town yestordny.nml
nobody at the ofllco of the compunv could
speak for him on this subject.
Meanwhile , the Ohio Street Llghtinu com
pany continue ! nt the old stand without n
contract , furnishing its Indifferent light , an d
evidently calculating to remain in the
business as long us city affairs are eoiuiuoto d
In a loose manner , and as long as they ca n
got the assistance of thu Thompion.llou ston
company ,

Parnoll's A'cnhew Attuoks the Ble-
Ciutliyltc Jjoadcr.
Dunux , Nov. 3. Mr. McDcrmott , a
nephew of the late Mr. Parnoll , today pub
licly horsewhipped Timothy Ilealy , the most
bitter of the antl-Parnell loaders. The horse
whipping wns the direct outcome of language
used by Hcaly nt Longford Sunday last , when
the nntt-1'iirnuli leader referred to Miss Par-
neil nnd to the widow of the late Charles Ste
wart Pnrnell. Ilciily wns rescued by the
police , who arrested McUermott. liealy de
clined to make chnrpos njralnst his assailant
and McDermott was icleased.
Mr. Hcaly wns readintr in the library of
the four courts when Mr. McDermott sent a
messenger to say that Mr. Ilealy was
wanted in the refreshment room. Mr.
Ilenly on going Into the hall , wns seized by
McDermott , who Immediately began to apply
the whip , saying nt the same time : "Tha't
is for insults at Long Ford. "
Mr. MeUermott , after applying his whip ,
walked away , Mr. Hcaty at onoo retired to
Iho library , as ho says MeDermott was
drum : .
At n leapuo mooting today on the
announcement that Ilealy had boon horse
whipped , the audience rose and chcorrd.
Mr. tlenly , at Long Ford , stated that on
visiting Paris to Inquire about the release of
the fund , he foumt n toleirram from Messrs.
Harrington and Kenny to the bankers , claim
ing a prior lion on the fund. "Tho banners
did not mind that , " continued Mr. Ilenly ,
they mlncieil more n loiter from 'Kitty,1
blocking the relief itind. Mr. Honly asserted
that ho saw the letter signed by 'That
Woman,1 ho could not help believing that an
nlllnnco existed between the descendants of
men who betrayed the Irish at liollma Muck
and the present fomontcrs of disorder. In
the 'Loairuo of Landlords nnd Free Masons'
they heard n great deal nhout 'English dic
tation. ' Was Mrs. Parnoll nn Irish woman ?
If the movements of Irishmen were to bo
controlled in England , it was bettor that they
should ho controlled from Ilawardon than
from Brighton. "

Kxflinnf o Meeting.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Ex-
chnngo Monday afternoon there wns a fair
attendance. After disposing of ii few minnr
matters the Exchange took up the proposed
new rule , No. 23 , which made it unlawful for
purchasers to weigh back lump Jaw or dis
eased cattle to sellers after 4 o'clock of the
day on which the purchase was made. There
was considerable discussion , nftor which the
adoption of the rule was put to a vote and
lost. The general sense of the meeting
brought out by discussion was expressed in n
resolution , which was unanimously adopted ,
recommending that the slaughterers request
the government Inspectors now stationed nt
the various houses to a'ation themselves at
the scales or In the yards to Inspect each
bunch ot cattle ns It Is weighed nnd furnish
them with a certificate of inspection , this in
spection to bo linn ! . The local Inspector is to
look after nil other cnttlo , not bought by
killers. The secretary was Instructed to
provide the packers with a copy of these
resolutions requesting their co-operation.

The fecundity of Thomas A. Edison's gen

the marvels of the : tgoa. To future genera
tions it will bo largely a matter of tradition ,

Frank G. Carpenter recently visited the
wizard of Menlo Park in his laboratory , and
the result of his observation and onquirv
makes an entrancing story that will ho
spread before the rcudors of TUB SUNDAY
DEB.
Among other interesting things "Carp"
describes the mammoth telephone which
Edison is constructing for communication
with the sun. This may ooatn incredible ,
but Edison is not a sensationalist , and but
read TUB SUNIIVY BEE for the explanation.
Then there ii an account of the wonderful
