AN ATTORNEY'S DEEP GRIEF. Found Guilty of Forgery—The Opera House Drop Curtamn—Under the Palms rreonals, and Other Brief Mention, The Blectric Lights. The tows v lights have sent out no vays for the past two nights to guide the belated Bluftte to his home, and they will not be running again until the weather moderates sufficiently for the men to work on the top of the towers. The results experienced thus far from thevew method of lighting the city have clicited widely varying comments, al though it is the general impression that the change has been for the better. Several of the business men of the city have expressed themselves as being disappointed because the lights did not do as well as the ones did on the court house during the trial last summer, and have attributed it 10 the use of a three- sided lantern instead of n globe avound the lamps. In order to ascertain whether there was anything in this state- ment the vesterday called upon M of the electric opinion 1 have no the effects well satistied. trouble in locating the tower avenue, from the fact that there were cross streets along there to afford r guy fastenings. and one of the posts v Mott granted the ired permission to’ place a post on his When eaw the locati was rtain whether & to would light the bottom would be more than Whaen the lights were started | 10 see the effect, and was very ably dis. appointed. In he power of electric il the obtained from towers ‘nt hieights, it has been ascertained ame light wiil be received : 600 feet from a 50 foot tow 1,100 feet from a i foot 1,500 from a 100 foot tower: 2,100 feet from a 125 foot tower and 2,500 feet from a 150 foot tower, It was for this reason that I advised the council to adopt the 150 foot tow: ers. The sume experiments showed that when the lights w vated above 150 feet the distance to which the light was thrown began to decrease, demonstrating that the best results could be obtazned from towers of the height adopted by the city Do you think that the lanterns no on the tower lights are as good that were used on the old lights 1f 1 had not thought o, 1 'sho 'lnl ot bought them, as they cost about while | could have bo ight globes for the twenty eight lamps at about #1 apicce. 1 went 1¢ Detroit, w! they have about one hundred and twenty-five 150 foot towers, und sa these lanterns in use. 1 did 1ot make any particular inquiries in vegard to them, biit supposed they had given them a sufticient test. It may be that clobes would be better, but I think that the lanterns ha 1ot yet had a fair test. The glasses had to be put in after the lamps were in pl and the weather at the time was quite cold for a man 1o work at that elevation with Lis bave hands, for the glass had to be cut on the top of ‘the towers. so it a0t be at all surprising work was done rather hurried], the gluss mizht not have fitted will be impossible to tell what cau to blow out, until a man can o to the top of the towers. The lamps may have swung around so as to bring the hot metal in contact with the 50 and broken it, i thickness. as the lichts in use the globes, have ing the glass, but such w vent him_ from going up to put in new curtoons if the lamps were in running order, "The only objection to a globe is that it may get full of snow and Ireeze. Such o thing mght not happen for two or three years, although it did u few times ~ last winter. In those cases the buse was taken into an adjoinmg. store and thawed out, but that would be almost impossible to do with twenty-eight lights, lo- pd 150 feet in the air. These lanterns were supposed 1o obviate all such difficultics, and I want them fitted up in good shape this time, If the city council prefers the globes, of course they can have them. The lights will not be sturted again until pleasant weather, for a man can not work up there now. The lights on the court house were fixed to-day, but the man had to come down about every ten minutes to warm. This talk about the corners of the lanterns throwing heavy shade is overdrawn, for the sh: thrown by one lantern is overcome by the light from another. I think they will work all l‘n.'hl, still they can be changed if neces- you think the lights on the court house ng as good results as they did last fi\lmlm'l( 1) Ces, just exactly. There 18 no reason ¢ they shiould not. The lamps are just as strong, and the current the same. There is no difference.” “Tnere is considerable talk in the city at present_regarding the incandescent light. How is it as compared with the arc system? “Why, for lighting oftices, private houst and small rooms, the incandescent thing, but for street lighting and for large rooms the arc is the best. For a church or opera house the incandescent wives a much pleasanter light, but it requires o great m; of them, 'The arc lighting is giving good sutisfaction at the presbyterian church, and the Methodist will be lighted in the same if other subscribers can be found in that ke it pay to build a line up The work on the tower lights will be done as soon as possible, and I hope the r le properly city will not be left in_ubsolute darkness, as the moon and gas still shine.” T Postoflice boxes for doors and posts at Odell & Bryants, 405 Main street.

Office 105 Main st. - A Lawyer's Forgery. The case of A. L. Young, just concluded at Glenwood,comes as a great surprise o many. He was well known throughout this part of the state, having been located at Malvern,and having there become quite prosperous and prominent as an attorney. He lately moved to Omaha, and the best wishes of a large circle of friends went with him. Hehas been considered as bright in head and honest in heart, aud when the announcement was made that he had been indicted for forgery, it was generally thought that the result must be an honorable acquittal, Now following the surprise felt at the indictment,comes a further surprise in the verdict of guilty. The charge against Young was that he had forged the name of Mr. Ki ¥ to a uote for #300, and had used this note at th k collateral security on a loan. Kinn upon the staud und denounced the si as a forgery. To offset this the defeuse claimed that it was not that Kinney who signed the note, but another Kinney, whose home was now in St. Louis, and whose de- position was read, in which this Kinney stated that he had signed the note, d that it was his genuine note. This with Mr. Young's avowal that he had been straight in this matter, de it look like a case of mis. taken idetity, or a bad tangle of wisunder- standings. The sensation of the trial was the appear- ance on the witness stand of the St. Louis attorney, who, as notary, bad taken the de- position of this Kinney. This notary testified that Young was the man who represented himself us Kinney and subseribed 1o the vidence was a startler and a ury returned a verdict aceord. mul\ finding Young guilty.
