An open letter, of which the following is a copy, was vent on Friday, December 20, to the Edison Electric Mlumimating Company by the United Electric Light and Power Company and the United States Illumin- ating Company: . Orrick oy tux Ustrep Exzorato Licur xp Powsr Company, 59 Lipzary 8r., New Yous, Deo, 20, 1889, To the President of the Edison Blectrie Illuminating Company of New York: Dzan Sm: You have for some time, by sending your officers and agents to our customers with incorrect ‘and misleading statements and spreading broadcast ‘through your agents and paid agitators grossly incor rect and even absolutely false information, been at? tempting to prejudice the public against the converter system of incandescent lighting as used by us in this city. You have even gone so ter as to attempt to in- fluence the Board of Health against us, We areop- Posed to sny warfare except that which is open and straightforward, and therefore to settle the question to the satisfaction of the insurance companies, the ‘users of incandescent lights and the bewildered public ‘we make the following challenge: ‘We challenge your company to a full and careful investigation of the relative economy and safety to the customer of the direct current three-wire system of incandescent lighting as used by your company and the Westinghouse converter system used by us; the investigation to be conducted by # board of seven ex- perts, three to be chosen by each side and the seventh by the six so chosen; one on each side to be familiar with insurance matters and the others practical elec- tricians, ‘We expect to prove by such an investigation: ‘1st. That conductors carrying high-tension alter- ‘nating currents have been and can be safely and suo- cessfully operated under ground. 2d. That the Westinghouse converter system, as Used by us, insures absolute safety to the user of in- candescent lights, ss the converter or trgnsformer Placed on the premises of each of our customers serves as an impassable barrier against fire or accidents and reduces the current of the street mains toa harmless current, usually of 50 volts, or one-fourth the inten- sity of the current introduced into the premises of the consumer under your system. ‘34, That the converter or transformer, accompiish- ing as it does a complete separation of the currents in- the street from the wires on the premises of the con- ‘sumer, is absolutely essential for safe incandescent Ngbting, 4th. That under our system the quantity of current used by the consumer can be messured by our meter with the greatest accuracy, and that the messurements on tho meter can be read by every customer. With reward to the Edison system we expect to prove: Ist, That the Edison underground system is danger- ous in the extreme because of its leakage, which may atany time cause s fire on the premises of thecon- sumer, as shown by the large number of fires which have been caused by that system in this and other cities, 2d. That your business can only be rendered éafe and the great fire risk incident to ite use removed by the adoption of the converter or transformer system Sd. That your company has no meter which is re- Hable, and that as 9 result ite bills rendered to its cus- tomers are largely » matter of guesswork. ‘We will be glad to submit to the committee any other questions as to the relative merits of the two ays- tems which you would wish to have investigated. In order that our position may not be misunderstood by the public we have sent copies of thisuletter to the daily papers for publication. We donot fear publicity ‘aa we feel confident that the converter system, which has come into almost universal use in Europe, to the virtual exclusion of the Edison direct-current system, will not suffer from a fair investigation by fair-mipded men, Very respectfully yours, ® ‘THE UNITED ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER CO., THE UNITED STATES ILLUMINATING 0O.

Dr. Chrries O'Reilly, national treasurer of the league. They regard it as an extraordinary proceeding. “The simple fact is,” said an Irishman yesterday, “that Fitz- gerald or the men who coptrol him are runni the league as if it was their private property. know that when he came to Chicago last Say to consult with Alexander Sullivan he was asked to call a convention, but he only returned an evasive answer. Before the request could be pushed in a way to force him to take some sort of « stand Dr. Cronin’s body was found in the Evanston avenue sewer. The excitement that followed drove all thoughts of league matters out of the beads of Irishmen and the convention was forgotten. Fitzgerald should have called a convention three years ago. The constitution under which he was elected says his term shall only extend over a period of one year, and that before the expiration of that time he shall issue a call for a convention so that his ®uccessor could be selected. He issued no such call.” STILL THE GRIP. Numerous Deaths Reported in the New England Budget.
