City Electrician Schurll has prepared an
estimate ot the cost of pro\'ldlnl on electric
plant to run the elevators all 10 provide dcc-
trlc lights for the city hal , the public library
building and No. : engine house. The estimate
Is a comrehensl'e document , which gives
the comparative cost of all the principal ap'
plances now In Use and leaves the council
to decide which method I prefers. Mr.
Schurll concludes that the city can save
about $1,000 a year by putting In its own
Illant.
Estimates are submitted on three different
electric generating plants for the electric
lights. The first consists oC a dIrectly connected .
nected maChinery arrangement using horizontal -
zontal hlgh-sppel engines and muttpolar
( lynamos. Thl will cst $ I,82U to place In
operation. The second estimate Is on I
similar plant . the only difference being In
the use oC vertical engines Instead of hori-
zontal. The coat of this plant would he
$ : ,700. The third plant designates belted
machinery , using medlum-Rpeed Corlss En-
gines , and the cost Is estimated at $5,880
'
When the direct connection Is used the generator -
prater armature shaft Is connete,1 , directly
dIrecty
\Ith the engine shaCt without the use of
spurS gearing or friction nuhleys.
There are two estmates on the cost of the (
hoIsting plant , for the elevators which amount
to $7,000 ant $5.000 , f'spectvly. The expenditures -
penditures for wiring are estimated at $1,250
and for lamps $325. The cost of oluerating (
' oleratng
the Illant , eXclUsive en110)'es , Is placed at
$2,333 per 'ear. Including 6 per cent interest
on the cost of the plants , the electricIan
figures that I will cost the city $ ; fI3 per
ear to do the
year work with its own plant .
Untlet' the resent system the city pays
$2,801.59 for electric light rentals for (3)5
buildings. The cost ot running the elevators ,
otc . brought up the total cost In 1891 I to
.
$6,517.59 , or IOOt.59 more than the estimated
estmated
cost under the preposed arangelnont.
The machinery recormon.IEd orangemenl . the electrIcian -
trIcian wi Provide an electric Power of
about 120.000 volts. I1 supl the current -
rent for 1400 incand'scent lamps of sixteen- cu-
I candle power each anti . run the oevators ! with
(
a load of 2.500 poun.h' . . exclusive of the cage wih ,
at a Ipced of frOI 225 to 300 feet pel
minute.
Whie I Is not likely that any acton will
bo taken toward putting In the 111ant this
year on account of the
lack of funds , It is I
likely that the recommendations of Mr.
Schu II 11 eventually be adopted , 11.
a very strong sentment In the council In
favor of taking tile first step In the line of
municipal ownership b ) acquiring an electric
plant In the city ball. ; There are some ob-
.
jectons to the Iure' nt stem , which I Is
claimed that
the proposed plan would ol'er-
como ant Mr. Sehurlg believes that the
change would not only he
, an economy but
would give much improved sorvic ,
The greatest objection to the present ss-
tem Is the elevator service , which has neve-
been satist.ictory. The elevators have been
I'veral tm(1 overhauled and repaired , but
they continue to act like balky horses , and
no elevator man can run them satisfactorily
until he has become accustome.1 satsCactorl .
culiarities. I II' ' a peculiar fact that after a
man has 10stered the Intricacies of one of
the city hal elevator , he cannot handle the
other any better than befol . Mr. Schllg
has made a thorough study of the pret"nt ele-
valor svstel and Is confident that he can en
rearrange the machinery that a much 1m-
pro\d service - will be . arrorded.

who have occasion to hunt up locations In
various parts oC the clt ) . . One feature of
Omaha that has been the subject of much
unfavorable comment Is the irregularity In
house ntuinbere Many houses are not numbered -
bered at all. On others the numbers are not
recognizable from the street anti In lany
cases the numbers Oil different sides of the
lamp block are entirely wrong. The new
ordlnalc Is expected to work a rlcal , reform -
form Every owner of property Is required to

This wi make all the nUlbers uniform I

within thIrty days from the date at notice the ,
engineEr Is required 10 have thc number put

The cost ot obtaining the numbers will be

his audience an array of facts touching UPOI

The m'sterlous murder 01 suicide , which-
ever It was , of Aleibert A. gbcrt I , which
occurrel early on the morning of AllrL 30 ,
was recalled by the filing of I suit yesterday
afteritoon. The Ilettloner In the case Is I the
widow , Iuthera Bgbert , who Is seeking to
recover a jlullelt agalnt the Fidelity Insurance -
surance and Casualty ' com\Y : of $10.000 , the
amount of aceilent Ilsuralce Egbertcarrioti
on his life In the company.
In the petion It Is stated that ggbert hehl
a halley In the collan ) one of the 11ro\'lslons
of whIch wa9 that In case the hohler came
to his death hy accilent , whllh Inch1h'd a
\lltol wound , $10,000 would be patti to lube
heh's. I Is alleged that on April 30 ggbert
came to his deatlt from two pistol wouuds.
Demand wal' ' malc Ullon the Inslrnce coni-
palY for the Insurance , but It reCusl1 to pay
It.
, The main : \11 only iseuie I which the jury
wi npell to decide Is whether 1 lbert cme
to his death at his own haud or at the hands
of some one ela. I It Is found , that he
sulchlell , lS the company will probably allege
ho did , It will claim that I cannot be cotu-
peled to pay the Insurance because one of
the provIsions of the policy renders null all
claims tn case the holder sulohlp8. I the
jury flds ho . was mlrderel then the plain-
tiff can recover. In SUper of her petition
the plaintiff will have the benefit of the vpr-
diet at the coroner's jury , which found that
ggbert had been murdered. .
EJbert came to his death In a very m"1
terlous manner. At 3 o'cloell In the morn-
tog hit , wife was awakened by the noise he
made when he went out with a revolver In his
hand. She waited for his return and In a
thort time sue hearl , some pistol shots She
rueheti out811e and found her husband lying
on the grolli just Inside a gate. There
were two bullet holes In his breact . one
through the heart. The revolver was found .
thirty feet from the place where the body
lay. Two theories were advamiced. Thin
general Imllresslon was that he hal been
murd.re' ' ! , because It was argued that It wall
Imposslblo for a man to walk thirty feet
the dltance to time revolver '
! from where he
lay , after he Ehot himself through the heart.
It wee also cousdered : Impossible that he
cOlld have thrown the revolver thirty feet
after shootng himself through the heart
Some al\'ancNI the theory oC siicide front
the tact that the two shots were fred ( rain
clole quarters , as was evidenced by the burn-
log oC the night shirt where the bullets entered -
