Tesjlifawc!t has drawn the atten
tien of the authorities te the apparent ad
vantages of the city furnishing ita own
light It also proposed that co-Bella aacer
tain whether the bid water works could net
be utilised aa.an electrie plant. An elec
trician was employed te examine the prop
erty, and his report, submitted te council,
allowed that 'a station could be made, and
that with the water power already there
the expense for supplying everything
needed would net exeaed $45,042.50.
The following is from the New Yerk
Tndipendfnt, and councils, which new find
a deficiency of 912,000 In the lighting ap
propriation, can learn that there Is a possi
bility or furnishing electrie light ter less
than $37,000 a year :
Questions or an ecouemlc nature are be
coming mere and mere topics for public
discussion. The nnenln. an u-hnla am
gradually awakening from thet lethargy in
which they were willing te allow anything
and everything te take Its own course, re
gardless of the public convenience And
new, In almost every rlty in the country
problems or rapid transit, adequate water
supply, or proper Illumination of the
streets are claiming the attention of the
citizens. Probably no one of the larger
cltles has yet done entirely away with gas
for outdoor purpeses: but all have, te seme
extent, made use of the modern substitute.
Frem this, the importance of the question
whether such lighting should be under
taken directly by the municipal authorities
or should be left te prlvate enterprise
ought te be clear te every one. Conse
quently, any Investigation which will
threw tee 11-llt of -eneral nxnArtimrn irnrni
the matter should prove of great value and
fcv general interest.
Seme time last rail a committee or the
council of the city of Soranten, Pa., which
had been appointed te investigate the mat
tar of electric lighting and the differences
which had arisen between the city and the
local company, made It report. This com
mittee, " in order te deal Intelligently with
the question in hand, bed deemed it wise
te correspond with ether cities In the
United States, and te gather such data as
they might have te furnish for the guidance
of their deliberations." The answers re
ceived, as a result or this correspondence
were tabulated for mere- convenient peru
sal, and new furnish net only the most
complete but also the most roliable statis
tics upcu the subject which have been com
piled up te this time. The following table

One need net have much knowlexliro of
the subject te ascertain, by glancing at
these figures, that the charges de net con
form te tbe cost of production. The pro pre
dominance et eveu figures would point te
a merely arbitrary rate, wulle the par
tiality shown fern chargoef e no hundred
dollars bee ins te indicate adosire en the
part or the electrie lighting companies te
keep their books In the most Htmple man
ner. Where an odd llgure is te be found,
it may easily be Inferred that the authorities
and the company originally failed te come
te an agreement. Hut the company, with
great condescension, must have granted a
reduction or offered te " split the differ
ence," te which fact may lie assigned the
frequent form of 21 or 3J.
A great imposition may be discerned In
the relative charges for large and small
numbers of lights. In the live cities con
suming the largest number or lights the
average cost is tlir abeve that in the llve
cities consuming the smallest number.
That something is radically wrong
must be apparent, lly ene net initi
ated in the mysteries or city contracts,
the very opposite would be expected.
And ir the charges were geerued
by the cost or production, that Is
what statistics would show. Kvcry in
crease in the number or lights Is made at a
less than proportionate iucroase in expen
diture. The capacity or the plant may be
doubled without doubling the Investment.
This is the primary characteristic of a
natural monopoly, and evcrv buslness in
which this state of affairs exists must neces
sarily be vlewed as monopolistic lu Its
nature. Whether the fact that large titles
using many lights arc paying inore per

The difference between this table and the
one above is surprisingly great. One can
net but wonder, upon comparing the two,
why the great electrie lighting companies
are no richer. The averages under the two
systems are Instructive. The average price
paid te private parties by the various cities
isiiue.13 per light each year. The same
service when performed directly under
municipal management averages te the
citlcens a cost of 952.12). Under the for
mer method, Bosten ptfys annually the
enormous sum or 9180 per light, while tbe
greatest cost under public control Is 9100
paid by Uasten, Pa. The lowest amount
which corporate greed will take te loose
its held upon the publle purse is paid In
Cortland, N. T te the sum or 950 per light
each year. But Ypsllanti. Mich., by sup
plying herseir wtth nightly illumination,
has been able te keep the expense for tbe
same work down te 923.01.
The first and only conclusion te be drawn
from a stud v of tbeselfiirures is that citlea
can supply their own electrie lighting much
mere cheaply and advantageously than
they can obtain it rrem private parties.
Individual corporations cannot dispose or
their product at the same price and retain
a reasonable profit. The very lact that an
Increased number or lights are obtained at
less than proportionate Increase or outlay
is a strong argument In favor of municipal
management. A greater number of lights
are made necessary by tbe natural growth
of a city. There Is no reason why the sum
thus saved, hitherto put into the coffers or
firlvate corporations, should net, by being
urned Inte the public treasury, inure te
the benefit or the people. Besides, it costs
but little mere te burn the lamps ten hours
than for six. ir the lamps burn all night
no mero linemen nor ether empleyes are
required. Many cities, recognizing the
advantages in owning certain enterprises,
are manufacturing their own gas : many
mero are supplying themselves with water.
In such placesgreataavingoeuld lie effected
by running an electric lighting plant In
conjunction with the water works. This
nas been done in Dunkirk, N. Y., and has
proven profitable te tbe city. If desirable,
commercial lights might be sold and the
revenue thus accruing would lessen tbe
amount necessary te be raised by taxes.
In this way tbe tax payer would reap seme
direct benefit from tbe undertaking.
But It may be argued that various con
siderations should be taken into account.
Many municipalities stand in greater need
of otherimprevements which demand their
ontire roneurces. Te these it seems hotter
tn postpone the acquisition of an electrical
plant and te leave the matter for the pres
ent in private hands. The changing con
dition erthe electrical industry, the con
stant application or new Inventions, the
nrobable discoverv or new nrecnssmi. all
ndvise that haste be made slowly. But
that dees net dispreve the advisability or
taking measurcs te obtain, without fric
tion, municipal control or this in
dustry in the near future. Where
individuals have already invested their
capital in such undertakings, it Is
always mere difficult te bring about the
change ; for they will take pains te prevent
it as lone as possible. As long as tuny can
control the primaries and nominating con
ventions, the corporations are always "out
of politics." They are for either party, but
above all for themselves. The corruption
which might possibly result from the ex
tension of municipal functions te electrie
lightning and ether monopolies or service,
is net te be cempared with the pernicious
influence upon politics or private compan
ies when seeking fat oily contracts.
There are frequent complaints under the
system of private management. In b'cran b'cran
ten, the local company persisted in fur
nishing a light of less power than that
called for lu their agreement Investiga
tion showed that Instead or giving a 2,000
candle power arc light, the lights had never
beeu ever 800-csndle power and very
seldom that, even under tbe most favor faver faver
able circumstances. Very often they bad
rundown te 400 or 500 candle power. The
poles were placed in arbttrarv positions,
and the company failed te supply the
lamps at Intersections. This last neglect
made necessary an Increased number of
lights, which incrcase, or course, added te
the profit of the company. The dirty con
dition of the glebes furnished anothercause
for complaint. As far as the wires are
concerned, the publie is well aware of the
threatening danger. Kvery one acknewl-'
edges that the wires ought te be placed
underground; but the recent experi
ence In New Yerk city lias shown tbe
strength as well as the present humor or
the great corporations. Such trouble
would be very unlikely te arise if these
industries were under publie control.
The advantages of publie ewnership of
natural monopolies are beginning te be
appreciated. The owners or the electrie
lighting companies have perceived tbe
trend of public opinion. One or them In a
recent work upon the subject, lias enunci
ated the astounding principle that electric
lighting, abeve all ether industries, " Is the
fluid for private monopoly." But this
preposition is far rrem being gonerully
accepted. Theery as well as prnitice points
te an oppeslto direction. At tbe banquet
or the Bosten Merchants' association last
wlnter the Hen. Beth Lew, former
mayor of Brooklyn and recently In
stalled prosldent or Columbia cellege,
said during bis speech lu favor of
municipal ownership or these monop
olies of sorvice. "that the result of his ox ex ox
perienco In the mayor's office for four
years had been te change the whole cur
rent of his thoughts, which formerly ran
away from that conclusion." In view or
thogenoral satisfaction expressed by the
citizens of theso cities operating their own
electric lighting plants, ene can scarcely
rail te agroe with the opinion oxpressed in
the report erthe Hcranten coiumlltee te the
effect that " the day is rapidly approaching
when cltles will no longer submit te be
uareiaceu a neecing process, but will own
their respective plants and thus reduce the
cost of lighting te a minimum."

Nicholas Daaner, one of the beet known
men la the eastern part of the county, died
at his home In Paradise en Sunday morn
ing at 8 o'clock. The cause of hi death
waa la grippe and paralysis, although the
supposition is that lie never recovered en
tirely from a terrible accident which oc
curred te him about two years age. At
the time he was en his way te Ptttsbufg'l
with Lancaster Cnmmandery, te attend the
atateconclaveerKnlghtsTomplar. When
the train reached Lewistewn he was stand
ing upon tbe bumper or one or the cars and
lu going around a curve he was thrown off.
Jle was very badly injured about the head
and it was a long tline befere be fully
recovered. His life was believed te be In
danger at that time.
Mr. Danner was born in Saxony In
1833 and came te this country In 1854. He
was a shoemaker by trade, having learned
It In the old country, and after landing in
New Yerk he settled tn Lancaster county
and then went te Yerk, where he worked
for a time. Upen coming back te tbla
county he worked for a time at
Mechanicsburg for a man named Bo Be
nard. He also worked for a man named
ZlegUr, at the same place, and for
Danlel Beckor, near QrefTa Stere. After
working for a tlme with Christian Ulrlch
he started in business for himself at
Spring Garden. Frem there he went te the
White Herse, where be was married In
1850. He next purchased the Wllllams Wllllams
tewn hotel, where he remained for
four years. Frem that place he came
te Laucaster and for a tittle he
was a partner of Henry Copland In
a restaurant under the Inquirer
printing office. In 1874 he bought tbe Para
dise hotel, which he kept until two years
age when he retired from business, renting
the hotel te G. Henry Schmidt, of this city,
who has since kept it.

There wasa quiet funeral In Northumber
land last Tuesday, which waa the closing
scene I n a remarkable eaae that had excited
that town for Seme time. The cornea waa
that of Miss Jessie Beust, the only daughter
of Charles Beust, a prominent storekeeper
of Northumberland, who died en February
ax. The young woman was 38 years old,
and until five years age waa one of the
belles of tbe place. Her mind became
unbalanced, and three months age she waa
sent te Iho Insane asylum at Danville.
After a month's stay there she waa taken
home and her bed placed In the parlor,
where she could play the piano, of which
she waa passionately fend.
The night of her death Miss Beust waa
attacked with an ungovernable -ftenty,-na-weuld"
have nothing te de with any
one. At tlmea she would rush te tbe piano
and play beautiful and weird refrains, and
then break the furniture. It is said that aha
K smashed the upright grand plana Attest
me nouseneia newra no mero noise rrem
the parlor, and, supposing Jessle had re
tired, went te sleep. The following morn
ing at a late hour Mrs. Beust carried In
breakfast for her daughter. The room was
JjUlet, and en the bed lay Jessie. Her
eatures bore a leek of agony and were
horribly distorted. She was dead. The
family doctor gave congestion erthe brain
as the cause of death. When the under.
taker appeared an hour later the girl's face
was fairly black. He injected ene and a
hsir gallons or embalming fluid Inte the
veins.
Ten hours passed and the grief-stricken
mother entered the parlor. Who looked at
the corpse's face and almost sank te the
fleer Inn faint The dead girl looked as
though she bad come te life. Thedlatorted
ex presslen had d isappeared, and the cheeks
were a rosy red. The mother left the room
shrieking with Jey, exclaiming that Jossle
was In a trance. Dr. Sheets waa summoned
together with the undertaker; but both
assured the family that life waa extinct,
The matter was kept quiet, and en the
third day the heuse was crowded with rel
atives and friends te attend the funeral.
The minister preached a sermon, and then
the entire assemblage was notified that no
funeral would take place. .They left the
heuse mystified. The mother had forbid
den the luterinent, thinking her daughter
yet alive. Days came and went, and Ilia
remains still lay lu the parlor. New and
then friends came te vlew thorn. Ne signs
of decomposition were visible, and a mere
lifelike corpse was Inconceivable.

The Flacks Convicted.
The trial or the Flack conspiracy casein
New Yerk resulted In' a verdict or guilty
against Sherlir Flack, his son William and
Referee James Meeks. The verdict was
accompanied by a recommendation te
mercy.
The New Yerk correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ltdger saysi "Thelr guilt
was dear. Judge Barrett lu bis charge,
though perfectly fair and Judicial, made It
Impossible for the Jury te return any ether
verdict than that of guilty. An appeal will
be taken te the highest courts, but whether
the sheriff has the geed grace te resign his
high ofllce new or whether he tries te held
en until his appeal has been finally ad
judicated by the upper courts, the ultimate
censequences te him must be the less of his
office aud a term of Imprisonment. The
greatest city lu the country Is thus In
volved 111 the dlsarapn atlnnrflnv Ilia nnn.
"Victlen of ilGT-SSr-SBt! MlrilcK.eftlclal for
conspiracy against a woman, snirHinM
woman nia wire, the only satisfaction te
be derlvcd rrem the racU is thst, notwith
standing his high oftlce aud his extenslve
political induonce, Flack has been brought
ie a spoedy trial aud te the humiliation of
publie conviction."
Judge Barrett this morning will sentence
the three conspirators found guilty or pro
curing a bogus divorce from Sheriff Flack's
wife. The extremity or the law Is a year's
Imprisonment and 900 line for each person
convicted.
Nkw Yeiik, March 24. In consequence
or the posllleii or Sheriff Flack, and the
fact of the Interference by a reporter with
the Jury, Judge Barrett has deferred action
roseetlng tbe Fleck conspirators until
Friday. Court was net prepared te act this
morning.
Judge Barrett expressed a doubt as te
.whether or net the reperter who waa bid
ing in tbe jury room could be punished
for bis Intrusion t but he Instruct
ed the district attorney te procure
iromitne stenographers a transcript of all
that had transpired concerning the repor
ter's intrusion Inte the Jury room, and te
prepare affidavits en which te base a mo
tion te show cause why the reporter should
net be punished for contempt. The order
could be made return able en Friday, thus
giving the reperter time te procure counsel.
The question of his liability te punishment
could then be properly argued. Judge
Barrett added that the fact that the reperter
declined In the presence or the court te
promlse net te publish what he bad heard
lu the Jury room, and afterwards did pub
lish It, might lu Itseir be construed as con cen cen
tempt of court.
Friday was then set down as the day te
bear all motions in the case, and the Flacks
and Meeks will remain uncommitted J
under tbe present ball of 95,000 eaeh.
