Several weeks ugo tlio city purchased a photometer for the usn of'thbcity electrician In reading the candlo'/yowcr ' / of the arc street lights furnished ! , Jy the Thomson- Houston company. UndcnMio terms of the company's contract with the city it Is re quired that the lights shalltfurnish illumina tion equal to 2OOU standard candles , Ttio charge has frequently boetii made that the candle power of the lights' ' will not equal that by otic-half. It was promised that the photometer would solve Ute question and settle tlio dispute. 1 * ia At the time the proposition was made to purchase the ( ihotomotcrut majority of the council voted against any such proceeding , and it wus not until a vigorous protest was entered by the mayor , thuipress nnU citizens generally that the council men changed their minds and concluded tollnvust In the Instru ment. It arrived a few weeks ugo and the city electrician immediately mauo several tests of the lights. In no case was a light found that wont above 1,200-candlo power , nnd the majority showed less than 1,000. The most complete test was the light at Twentieth and St. Mary's avenue. Head ings were taken at different angles , and a largo number of them at that. By careful computation it was found that the light equaled KIT candles and not 2,000 as provided by contract. These facts were communi cated to the council and referred to the com mittee on gni and electrlo lights , composed of Edwards , Steel und Mul earlo , When the company's bill for Juno was pre sented it was supposed that the photometric test would play a nrotnlnnnt part in causing deductions , It did not , however , and was not mentioned. This fact caused a city ofll- ciul to make the following observations ; "Tho position of the committee on this Gowns 98c. A line of gowns ranging in price from 81.10 to S1.50 , all beautifully trimmed , excellent qualities , only OS cents. mutter is very peculiar , to say the least. Have you noticed tlio consistency of ttio re ports the committee submitted to the coun cil lust evening. For instance , take tlio re port regarding the Juno bill of tlio Sun Vapor company. The bill amounted to $1.014.0' ! . The committee found that by tests of the gas Inspector there was a short age in candle power of some of the lights , and to make up for the defic iency in illumination the committee deducted 40.0-1 , und $2.155 for lamps not lighted. The committee also recommended that the city cleric instruct the company to furnish lights of HVcundlo power , according to contract , and that the gas inspector malco tests of as many lights as possible. Also that all old burners bo removed without delay - lay , and the same be hereafter changed at least every thirty days. The test of the gasoline lamps are made by photometer , and the committee desires ttio inspector to malco as many actual tests us possible , so that the city can make necessary doducliniis lor shortage In candle power. That U all very good and exactly what should bo done to protect the Interests of the taxpayers. "Now lot us consider another report of the committee submitted at the same tiinu. It is upon the bill of the Thninsoii'IIeuston company , amounting to $2r > r > 3. The Items allowed without deduction are for lights in the city hall , amounting to $ lil.5l ! ) , city Jnll , $23.1i. ! The other item Is fur street lumps , 100 at $175 per year und ninety-four nt $140 per year. 1'Yoin this amount is deducted f'I. ! > for lights not burning. Think of thut. The sum of $7.ir : saved to the taxpayers from n bill of $ ! , r > r > 5. Not a word is sajd bout the shortage In c.indlo power which the electrician found. Can it be that the committee has coiilldenro iu the test of a pliotomotcrwhcn it comes to gasoline lumps ! An authority on electricity has Informed mo thut If the street lights * furnished 2,000 candle power that half a down sets of car bon would bo used up during n night instead of ono. Tests of the lights should bo mad o every nlglit , and the deduction * should bo made from the bills of the company where shortage in cnndle power la found , " Balloon at U and 3 , Courtlatid beach.

UP IN A BALLOON. Colonel John Moyntlinn Will Miiko nil As- I'niistim nt ( 'oiirtl'iiul liniich Toilny , Yesterday a rash but well moaning man offered to wager Colonel John Moynilian n tidy sum of money that the colonel dare not go up in the Courllnnd beach balloon and make the parachute drop. Colonel Moyni- tmn accepted the proffered wager so quick that the dizziness of the bettor of the first purt was akin to thut which follows a fall from u merr.v-eo-round. Some of Mr. Moynihun's friends undertook to dissuade him , hut ho smiled at their fears. He will positively make the ascension this afternoon. It is not generally known In Omaha that Mr. Moynlluin's past curroer hat been such as renders the winning of tlio wuger but a moment of pleasant distraction. In his early -youth Mr , Moynihnn's chlnf recreation was Joundin thcdruumamhiuntatmosphuro. Dur ing the Frunw-Prusslan war in Ib70 , Mr , Moynihun entered the service of the French government ( ho is un Alsatian by birth and a I'.irlsian by adoption ) and rendered signal service in the balloon corps , fur which ho was given the rank of colonel. Whllo the army of the Italaur was camped before Paris Colonel Moynihnn made dally ascensions , and , on more than ono occasion , he thwarted the well-laid plans of the Cicrman general for cnrrviug the capital by storm. Jules Verne , the famous llctlonlst , got much of his data for his story , "FiveVeolts in a Hal- loon , " from the personal experience of the colonel. H Is also stated that the Meynlhuns are a collateral branch of the Montgulller family , M , Montgalller , it will bo remem bered , Invented the balloon. There is no quest ion of the success of Col onel Moynihun's undertaking. INCREASED PAY. llnclo Hum Knlsti * tlui Wif ; ° * "f Omuliit I'oiitolllen iillilriyu : | .
