Chicago Is another pliint put down In the Press list at $53.51 as the cost of an arc light In that city.

The firm of Hoskins and Sells, English and American chartered accountants, were employed by the city of Chicago to audit Its Accounts and their report gives the cost of arc lamps for the year 1900 at $99.88 each.

P - Morcer Drew, of Lambert street, received a deep cut on' his head last Saturday night, while engaged in an altercation on North Main street. His condition is not serious but several stitches were required to close the 'wound. Drew and a young man named Duffy engaged in a quarrel and while they were arguing it is alleged that Michael Corcoran, who lives in the same vicinity as Drew rushed up and slashed Drew across the head. A lively fight occurred but Drew was not Injured otherwise. His wound being of a slight nature, no prosecutions will follow the fight. to The annual financial statement of St. John's church was read yesterday and copies of it will be distributed to the members of the congregation next Sunday.

Albauy, N. Y., Jan. 29.—The trustees of the state public buildings instructed Superintendent Robert J. Hill to close *11 approaches to the assembly staircase in the state capitol, including the entrance to the assembly chamber and the elevators leading thereto. They arc believed to be unsafe. Trf the Selcct and Common Council, City of PtttBton, Pa. Gentlemen: An Italian house on Mill street was the scene of a christening and its attendant fight last night. A barrel of beer had been bought to impress on the guests the Importance of the newcomer and several of the party indulged to such an extent that three 'became engaged In a flght. In the Cielee one man picked up ■ a beer lass and gave a second a hard blow, putting a deep gash In his head. The other men were more or less used up. Dr. McGlnty sewed up their wounds, police intend to causo arrests in the case. By the action of your Joint body at meeting of the 18th Inst, my attention has been particularly galled to the portion of our Chief communication In reference to municipal lighting. As the official eppy directed to be sent to this company has not been received I assume the correctness of the public press report. This communication states that no argument can bo advanced Justifying the city In paying more than $60 for an arc light, and quotes Wllkesbarre, Pa., Plymouth, Pa., Johnstown, Pa., and Detroit, Mich., but omits our neighboring towns, Avoca, paying $75, Taylor $75, Old Forge $72.50. Miner's Mills, Plains and Parsons $70, Ashley $70, Scranton $73, Carbondale $70, Wyoming and West Wyoming $66, Newport $65, Nantlcoke $65, Dorranceton $70, Edwardsvllle $70, Luzerne $70 and Kingston $75. By word "and deed, since their arrival in the Quaker City, they have published it to the world that theirs* is a real old fashioned love match. It has become known that the capitol building Is iH" miicli' worse shape than his been reported. William Barclay Parsons and other eminent engineers be asked to' make a rigid itaupection of the big granite pile and report whether It is safe for further use by the court of appeals and the several departments of the state government. The investigation by Engineers Parsons and Moran was practically only on the surface. They were not employed to make a complete investigation, but only to give frofii observation an opinion as to whether the building was settling and whether the cracks in the northeast wing were dangerous. I have at hand other detailed reports of representative plants and all corroborative of results herein given. Before 300 guests assembled at the Quaker dinner given to Lloyd'C. Grtocom, Mr. LongvrortU called Misfe Roosevelt the sun of his life and, tmiling upon her as she watched him from an adjoining room, said that from where he stood he could sec the sun 10 whose reflected radiance he had a momentary prominence.

A builder may contract to direct a house at three-quarters of its actual cost but he Is not likely to knowingly repeat the experiment. The conditions, in Wiilfcesbarre are the result of a protracted campaign against the company and' can not be taken as representing th(e ability of the company to supply Without loss. The price of commercial! lighting in Wilkesbarre is 20 to 34 per cent, higher than in this city and if the adjustment were made by deducting the difference from commercial lighting and adding to the municipal lighting, it would add to each arc lamp very materially. $14,918.03 CR.

It can be said on the highest authority that Mr. Parsons found the center of the great building was sagging and that the southwegt wing, including the senate cbaaiber, soon would be as unsafe as the northeast wing. Indeed, he expressed the fear that the structure would become a ruin unless work was begun without delay to strengthen the foundations. "An«f, in fact, I realize," continued the congressman, "that this kind applause with which you have greeted me is not because I deserve It, but because I stand here shining In reflected glory. I might not like it so much if the rays came from the Japanese lanterns or the electric lights which I see here, but when the rays come from the sun then I am indeed glad."

Denmark, Jan. 23.— —Injured Man Will It is well known by persons experienced In electric lighting, that the volume of business has to do with the cost of the plant's output but the application made to the city of New York presents other than volume conditions to be considered. Ex-Mayor Matthews,' of Boston, after an exhaustive examination upon the subject, reported to the authorities of his city that underground service such as that o( New York added C89 annually to the cost of each arc lamp. King Christian IX. died suddenly at Recover. 3:30 o'clock this afternoon The police engaged In an exciting and successful search of four Italian boarding houses on Panama street at an early hour this morning and arrested three men, on the charge of having stabbed one of their fellowcountrymen a few hours before. It was an exciting time, the police being forced in some instances to break in the doors of the boarding- houses and then to force the doors of the rooms in order to get men they wanted. Their anxiety not to let the men they were searching for escape was caused by the belief that the injured man would die from his wounds, the attending physician having declared him in a serious condition. After an hour's work the men wanted w«r© located and Identified and they are being held In the city lockup. Another burst of applause and another blush from Miss Roosevelt.

New York, Jan. 29.—William Barclay Parsons, who, with Daniel E. Moran, was called in last week to make a temporary examination of the Albany capitol. expressed anxiety about the future of the capitol. He said that the building had shown signs of collapsing not ouly In that part which had been closed, but In other places. The entire structure was what he described as "111." He said that, although it would not be necessary to demolish the bulld- Uig, It might be necessary to practically rebuild It throughout. As to the cost of what he termed "repairs" Mr. Parsons said that with the cursory examination which he had made It was impossible for him to say whether it would be less or greater than $2,000,- OQO. He said that the trouble was that (he foundations had been designed for a building to cost $4,000,000 and that that amount had already been Increased sixfold.

It will be observed that 66 com panies are here listed ranging In price from $35 to $130 per arc light per annum. Nothing Is given as to conditions under which these different companies are operating or the kind of arc lamps furnished and number of hours burning, all of which materially affect cost. Of the 66 plants listed in the Press nine are put down as paying less than the proposal of this company for a ten year term, or In other words for each plant listed by the Press at less than the offering of this company there are more than 'seven listed as paying more, in reference to Detroit, Mich., it is quite true that this plant, has been considered an example of what can be accomplished by municipal ownership In. producing oheap light, but if the llgures as to Detroit's cost are a sample as to correctness of other figures given by the Press they cannot be taken as reliable. It is to be regretted that our chief executive should feel that the Interests of our city are best served by an extended proclamation to the public at large against Its allied Interests and charges of "corporate greed" against one of its prominent Industries. We are maintaining a board of trade to induce manufacturing industries to locate with us and this company is furnishing current at prices to make this location attraetlve. Are not the best interests of all our peoplo enhanced by working together in a manner encouraging to vested interests and inviting the accomplishment of a Greater Pittston?
