COUNCILS CHANGE
LIGHT CONTRACT
Mr. Humphrey, in Select, Has Ordi
nance Amended to Head Five Years
for Electric Light and Three Years
for Gas Passes First Rending.
When the ordinance awarding the
street lighting contract came up for
first reading In select council last night,
Mr. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. Davis,
had the measure amended so as to
change the contract from one year to
five years on electric lighting and from
one to three years on gas lighting. The
former covers the hose houses; the lat
ter' the city building. Mr. Humphrey's
Idea Is to secure the lower rates fol
lowing from a long-term contract. Mr.
Mannion raised the question of the
legality of the change In the 'ordinance,
x'.biit the mensurepassed first reading.
The special committee reported that
Dr. M. E. Maulan's compensation for
attending the Thompson smallpox cases
, was $500; twenty-live days at $20 per
day. This was adopted. Miss Davis,
the nurse, will continue to be employed,
at special compensation, until the next

CLOSED DURING STBIKE.
Merchant John Beese Prudently
Closes His Store Door.
John Kecse, the well known mer
chant, closed bis store In the Anthra
cite building on Sixth avenue, yester
day, and will remain closed during the
strike.
There were no legal steps whatever
associated with the suspension of his
trade; It was merely a prudent move
until the depression following the coal
strike shall have been removed. Mr.
Reese has been meeting his obligations
promptly every week, and declared that
so soon as It became apparent that ho
could not do this ho would not delve
Into credit and possibly endanger him
self, but would close. Accordingly, he
did not open his store yesterday, save
to pay his usual weekly accounts. Mr.
Reese will re-open after the strike or
as soon as trade prospects are brighter.
