SINGULAR COURSE OF FIVE MEN , Their Opposition Sitlllolont to Defeat r Oroat HuvliiK I" lOxpenso Siilris' Hills lor Street The mooting of the city council hold last night was a spirited one. For two hour ; business dragged along In a weary and uninterrupted terruptod stylo. Just nt 11) ) o'clooic the com mltteo on gas and electric lights roportei upon the question of gasoline lamps. It was a peculiar report. The chairman said : "The testing machine at the gas works has beer broken , nnd for Ibis reason wo have beoi ; iinablo to make any test. Therefore wo have decided to lot the council dispose of tin matter. " Mr. ChalToo moved that the contract foi furnishing Hvo hundred gasoline lamps be awarded to Robert Soognr Of St , Paul , nt $ I5.fU ) uorlamp , per annum , Mr. Morearty moved that the motion Ho on the tnblo. Mr. Madson wanted to send away both the Sccgur and the Ohio lamps that they maj be tested. Mr. Burdteh favored giving the contract tc the lowest bidder. Ho siid : "Tho breaking of that machine Is nil poppycock. " President Lowry sulu that ho Is tired of voting away the people's money nnd bonce- forth nnd forever will oppose the bills of the Ohio company. The roll call was demanded nn the con firmation of the contract of Hobert Soogar. The vote was ns follows : Yeas-ClialTeo. Cooper , Conway , Donnelly , Klsassur , McLearie , Olson , Tuttle and Mr. President U. Nays Brunor , Madscn , , Morearty , Ost- hoff , Spccht 5. Opened a Circus , A majority nf the council having voted against the confirmation of the contract t was defeated , but before tno vote was nn- uouncod , Mr. Chaffer changed his vote from "ayo" to "no" and moved a reconsideration. In doing so ho said , "I cannot see why any business man can vote to kill this contract , when by doing.so ho Is squandering ? -VX ( ) of llio money that belongs to the people. " Mr. Osthoff did not wntit to hoar the charge of boodle made against any member. President Lowry stated that if any mem ber had said that ho had charged any other member with taking booJIo , such member was mistaken. Mr. Cooper said tlmt no boodle had been charged , but that it bus been claimed that the Ohio company has f. > 09 of the peoples' money for the use of carrying out its onds. Mr. Chaffyo spoke again , saying : " 1 take the members of this council to bo busln/iss men. If the St , Paul man furnishes u good bond and furnishes a good lamp ntSlu.GOI us It you if it is business to pay the ether company si ! ) for a lamp that , is no bettor. If the Ohio company wants the contract , I ask you why that company did not bid for it ( Mr. Speoht said that Seogar changed burners on the committed. iMorourty'H Motives. Mr. Motcarty s poke as follows ; "I voted against the Seognr contract because the lamp Is not as good as the Ohio lamp , and it is not manly for any member to iuostlon ] the motives that controls mo m casting my vote. " Mr. McLeario said : "It is not right for us to vote against accepting the lowest bid. " Another vote was ordered with the same result as boforo. Again Mr. Chaffeo changed his vote from "avo" to "no , " nnd moved that the council meet tonight in committco of the whole to dispose of the light mattor. The opposition fought this , but was de feated by ; \ vote of I ) to 5. Tno father of George B. Weston , the lad who was drowned in the pool at Twenty-fifth nnd Mason streets , presented a claim , de- maudiug the sum of ? . " > , OOU damages. Suit LS threatened if the claim is not paid. Mayor Gets In a Veto. The mayor in a vote message failed to ap prove the bill of C. K. Squires , $7,2015 , for street sweeping during the months of August , September nnd Octooer , 1800. IIo could not see why the bill should bo allowed , after being once rejected. Tlie facts , ho said , are such that au investi gation is needed. Air. Olson said the claim has been investi gated and is just. Mr. Moiearty said that ho hud been with the committee. Ho Tuvorud the bill. Mr. Tuttle said tbo bill has been before live committees and the claim is Just and should bo paid. The mayor was sustained by a vote of 10 to 5. The city attorney filed n letter showing that ho has settled the * 5,000 Follman dam age suit. The city pays $ .100 and the woman dismisses her actlou against the city , Squires and Ills Pay. Mr. Olson moved that C. 13. Squires' bill of $7-00 bo placed in the appropriation sheet. Mr. Ostholt nsiced that the matter bo re ferred to unothor committee , Mr. Morcorty objected , saying the work has been performed and Ilia money should bo paid.Mr. Mr. Olson said that Squires will accept $0,031.13 for the November sweeping , and that the amount is ton per cent less than is claimed. Mr. Chaffer did not llko this plan of doing business. If Squires will accept n ten per cent reduction on the November work , there Is no reason why ho should not do the samu on the main bill. If ho is entitled to any , bo is entitled to all of his monoy. Mr. Brunei- said that thu inspection has been neglected nnd that Squires should bo paid.President President Lowry favored paying tbo con tractor for doing his work , but snld that sweepings have laid on the streets Tor moro than a week after being swept into piles. Mr , Chulieo moved that the council meet tonight In consider the Squires matter. Mr. Olson moved that the motion lay on the table. This motion prevailed , while u rlpplo of excitement ran through tno lobby. The laugh was on Mr Olson , as It disposed of his motion. Ho appealed to tbo house and the appeal was sustained. TaoUlcil tliu Ilcciilar Ordor. Thu regular order of business called for nnd n number of the councilmen went wild. The clerk tried to road , whllo Messrs. Mor- lo'ty nnd Olson clamored for recognition. Again the Squires matter was brought up by Mormrtv moving to reconsider the vote by which the Oliou motion uas tabled. " "Tho motion prevailed and the bill was re ferred back to the committee for Investiga tion. tion.Tbn board of publlo works was sustained In its action in holding back lf > per cent on the sidewalk estimates of Kd Burns , the sidewalk Inspector. The contract with John A. O'ICeofo to grade Douglas street was road. This contract - tract provides that the work shall bo per formed at 1) ) con Is per cublo yard If the city disposes of thu dirt , and It5 ) } couts if the con tractor taUos care of It. Mr. Klsnssor wanted the mutter 'laid over ono week. Ho jald there nro plenty of places where the dirt can bo put with advantage to thu city. Ho snld that if the contractor has the earth ho will make n largo amount of money out of its sale. Mr. Chaffoo looked at the matter from a business standpoint. IIo said : "ihls Is u matter In which nil of the city Is Interested unit the work should bo commenced and completed without any further delay. " Mr. Morlurty said that If the contract Is rejected the work cannot bo done this sum mer , as it will result In readvcrtlslng mid the postponement of tha erode until next season.

They hud but a few steps to tako. The chair was ill rectlv In their front. As the Ic.ulers parted the chair stood out in all Its nwfutncsi before tbo man about to sit In It and die. Sloctim halted at tlio warden's command Just on tliu edge of the rubber mat which was tu ] .o et those who wore to watch his life go out i'.io doomed man's ga < co was riveted on the oiair Then It wandered to the dangling wire ami the closet fi-oin which it was suspended. Hack to the chair it came , and ho started as though ho had lecelveil n shock from the wire. Then the warden began reading tlio death warrant , whllo the reverend men en gaged in silent prayer. Thn witnesses were grouped to the left of tlio chair. The scientists stood in front of the switch board , watching the cur rent , which they read like a book as it Hashed in the lamp * and through tiio recoidlng In struments. Tlio executioner was hoard to rise from bis chair In the closet and place himself ready to do his duty.

Laudy's band grasped the bundle of the switch which turned the current Into the wires in the eloctroeutiouer'.s closet. Warden Brown raised his baud nnd Prof. Laudy turned the switch. Then tbo warden tapped on thu closet. The unknown insldo gave a quick pull to tbo lover. The electric llmd was released before the sound of the tap reached Slocum's ears and .sped through hit body. There was not n tremor of the body us thu plitsleians counted the seconds , mid when I'rof. Laudy turned eft the current Sloctim sat ligid and lifeless In the chair When the electrodes were removed it was discovered that tbo .skull and llesh of the leg had been sllghtlv burned , but there was no smell of roasting llesh such as made the Kemmler electrocution so horrible. The straps were unloosed nnd the body was carried riod back into the rear loom. Smilor did not liositutci when told his hour bad come , but when the death chair appeared before him ho almost foil to thu tloor. His itnees knocked together nnd.but for the sup port of his spiritual advisers ho would cer tainly have collapsed.
