The committee has ascertained that a plant of suillcient size to supply the city can be erected for about $15,00(1 The cost ot running the plant and furnishing ono hundred lights to burn all night is estimated at $480 per month, or $5,820 per annum, whereas the city now pays annually $4,850 for sixty-one lights only.

PENN FIR! 1 FOUR DWELLINGS DESTROYED EARLY THIS MORNING. AN ENGINEER'S TIMELY ACTION Two'!Bold Burglaries in tho First Vlark at' an TBaijly Hour "Yesterday MOrnlng No Arrests. Four dwellings in the'dtpsr "Vm. Penn patch wero destroyed by UroU an errlj hour this morning. The fire was first discovered by tho en gineer of the Philadelphia & Koading pas senger train that leaves here al 2 a m. A his train pulled into the patch be taw fl .me in the basement of tho building owned and occupied by "William Georgo. H stopped j bis train and blew tho locomotive whistl'j until ho had the whole 'patch aroused. Then he proceeded on his journey. Bu for the timoly discovery and thoughtful act ot this engineer great loss of life might havn attended the fire, as tho occupants of all the houses in tho neighborhood wero, like those in tht, doomed buildings, sound asleep. In answer to the engineer's alarm tbe people rushed out of their houses into the cold night air. scantily clad, some barely coverod. The firo had already gained considerable headway and, to the dismay of tho volunteer force, the fire plug was fpund frozen. After working hard for nearly half an hour the plug was put in working order, but before a drorJ of water wis thrown out the George dwelinfi was doomed, therosidenceof Charles Ilauburg, on the east side, wai envolopod in flame?, and the double block owned by Samuel Couch, on tho wait side, was burning. Attention was turned to prevent the fire from spreading to the other dwellings in tbe row and tbe eflorts were crowned with success. The George and Itutzburg bouses were com pletely destroyed, with nearly all their contents. The Couch double block was burned so badly it is practically destroyed. Several buildings In tho vicinity were damagod, but not extensively, The total loss is about ?5,000, with an insurance of $2,000. It is understood that there was no insurance on the Couch block. Tbe fire is supposed to have boon caused by places of clothing catching fire from the kitchen range in the George residence. BOLD BURGLARS. Ono Protects HimBelf by Throwing a Lamp. About throe o'clock yesterday morning Patrick McNally, a boarder in tho house of John Folland, In the First ward, saw a strange man walking about bis bedroom with a lighted lamp in bis hand. McNally jumped from his bed and rushed towards tho figure. As he did so the stranger turned and hurled tho lamp, which struck Mc Nally in the stomach and fell to tho floor, breaking into fragments in a pool of blaz ing oil. McNally turned his attention to extinguishing the flames and the burglar took advantage of tho opportunity to es cape. After his depaiture it was found $10 in cash, one gold and two silver watches were missing. McNally says tho burglar had one or two companions. About an hour after this affair occurmd burglars entered the rosldence of Mrs. Mc Neil, widow of the late John McNeil, and secured a watch left by the deceased and which was highly prized by the family. The two burglaries are tuppoed to b the work of the same parties, but there is no clue to their identity. Business College.

THE FUTURE AGENCY FOR SUPPLYING HEAT. ELEGTRIGITY COMING TO THE FORE An Enthusiast's -Idea of a Stove -Tliat.Threatens the Futu e of tho Coal System Push the Button. 1 A few weeks ago I chanced to be ono cl a group who werrf dUcuesing the question of how tho cars of tbe eloctric railway can bo heated. One of the party said they can be heated by electricity, at which some smiled dubiously and others winked a ho-ls-off wjnk, The Etteirxepl Progress is authority for the statement that, tho timo is near-by when the stores, dwelling houses and offices, and the modes of travel, whether by land or sea, will be heated by electricity. There aro a thousand uses for the electric heator and only those well up in electric matters can conceivo the advantages to be derived therofrcm. . The architect of the future will p'an his home or business apartments to provide for tho electric beater In placeof the dirt, duel smoke, soot and ash contrivance of tho present day; the heat developed by tho coal that has heretofore been carted into our collars will bo brought to htho ouso on cleanly (interior conduit) wires and dis tributed throughout the house so carefully and practically as scarcely to be observable, and when tho temperature of tho room is too low, the occupant will simply press a button or turn, a switch and, presto cbango, tho room gradually assumes tho proper temperature,, and, tbo heat is recognized, but tbe source is. unseen. In warm weather, the electric heater just fills the bill. There is need for a quick, strong fire to fry eggs, broil a steak, boil the coffee and toast your toddy; all that is necessary is to touch an almost in visible button and, lo, tbo result I Touch another button when cooking is comploted and the electric fan, operated by tbe same power that cooks your dinner, rovolves a circular fan rapidly, and the room has a delightful coolness with the perfume of Arabia. Tbo warming of theatros, concert halls, &c, can bo accomplished uniformly throughout any sizod building, and tbo unsightly stoves and furnaces are among the barbarians who havo not yot developed the art of electric heating. In general use, consider tbo safety and neatness and also the immense labor-caving qualitios of the electric heater, removos the unsightliness aud disagreeable odor of tbe burning, dirty, dusty coal. There is no reason to doubt that by tho time electric heating is as well developed as that of electric light ingand power, that generating stations will be established throughout tbo United States for that particular purpose "When water power is abundant, the electrio dynamo can bo made to supply tho electric heater of the immediate neighborhood at loss, cost than coal is sold for in those districts. Tho electric heater U in demand in tho railway world to warm the cars to a proper temperature as draft dues not affect it, and th refore tho cars at timos could not be oppressively warm, and at other titiios In sufficiently warm. Tbo ocean steamer wants tho electric heater and an increased dynamo capacity would supply both light and heat and obviate tbe uo of expensive undesirable steam pipes for heating tbe vessel. The electrio beater is now so nearly developed 011 a thoroughly prac tical basis that it would nut rtquire a great expenditure to furnish tola improved con dition of aflairs and increased convenience, comfort, cleanliness and safety for the gen oral uso, of our progressive Ame lcan citi zens.

Shortly after ten o'clock the Jlior was cleared for tbo cak walk, whicli was p rticiplod in by ten couples. The judges awarded the large and handsome cake to James Morris and Miss Ruth Williams. A stag walk was then participated in by fifteen gentlemen, and tho judgo3 wero compelled to divide thncako,not being able to decide between Albert Heobner and G-orge Spade, the former in the character of tho political heeler and the latter that of tho descendant of Ham. The two gentlemen are at a los to know how to make a divisipn of the cake, not being able to find a knife that is sufficiently sharp for that purpose. The managers of the supper certainly had tbe hearty support of the people, and can congratulate themselves upon the same. It is estimated that the receipts, above all expenses, will be about ?175.0O. which will go towards purchasing uniforms for tho company. PERSONAL. William Seager ia one of the latest grip patients.
