ORDINANCE BREAKERS IN COURT. The Young Ladies to Give a Benefit For the Little Hero of Manawa =The School Board Election, More Light Wanted. Yesterday morning Alderman Lacy took an extended drive through the southern and western parts of the city for the purpose of looking over the ground with an eye to the adortion of some satisfactory method of lighting those localities, Several petitions have been presented to the council asking for better illumination, and a committce is o report on the matter at the next meeting of the council. It is well known that Alder- man Lacy is opposed to paying the presont rate for tower lights, 80 his statement made to Tre Bee yostorday will occasion no sur- prise, Said he: In my opinion, there will have to be a very material coange before the city is satis- factorily lighted, In the fivst place, we are paying altogother too much money for our present_electric lights, Our tower lights arc costing us $30 per month for each tower, making the seven towers cost us $550 a month, or nearly $7,000 a year. Davenport pays only £23 a month for euch light tower, which is but little moro than one-third what ours cost. ‘I'here is no carthly reason for such_a difference, and [ know that we can get tho same light for far less money. Mr. Oflicer’s contract for the tower lights expires in December, and I am in favor of advertising at once for bids for doing this in future, say, for a term of years, the bidder 10 give figures for lighting “the city for a period of from one to five or ten years. This gives everybody a chance. If Mr. OfMcer is the lowest bidder, he has his lines already erccted, and can go right whead, and if it should be unother company, they would have time to put up their lines before the expira- tion of tho present contract, 80 no time would be lost. “According to the contract, the city takes possession of the towers whenever Mr, Offi- cer's company is succeeded by another in lighting the city, the city 10 pay two-thirds of the original cost of the towers. Mr, Omicer filed a sworn statewent, fixing the or- iginal cost of the seven towers at 5,500, 80 the city would have to vurchase them for about §,606, in case another contruct is made with an outsido company. Of course, a new company would take this matter into consid- cration, as they would not be rcquired to erect any towers, do not think the tower system the best tor lighting the business part of the city, but it is unsurpassed for illuminating the resi- dence portion and the suburbs. After my ride this morning I am of the opinion that the best plan would be to remove the tow- ers at Broadway and Fourth street, Broad- way and First street, and the one at Frauk and Pierce stroet. and_locate them in the southern und western portion of the city, and light Broadway with singio lights. 1 would place these lights where they would illuminate to the best advantage. I don't know just where the best locations would be, but I would plate them in nearly the fol- lowing positions: One at the corner of Third strect und Seventeenth uvenue, one on South hth street, somewhere between Twen- tieth and Tywenty-ninth avenues, as far down as it could be placed and still have its light mecet that from the one on Thid street and the oue at Sixth strect and Twelfth avenue, The other should be placed in the vicivity of the transfer, 80 it woula work well in con- nection with those just mentioned and the one at Bighth and Broadway. All that por- tion of the city would then be abundantly lighted. Another towershould be purchased to be placed near Streetsville, not too far from the Eighth and Broadway tower. ‘These, with the tower on Oakland avenue, snould give light for all that part of the city. This takes In sll the level portion of the city. “I am not in favor of tower lights for the eastern parts, as the bluffs render them un- profitable. For instance, just take the tower at Frank and Pierce. It throws more than half its light over on those wooded bluffs, where there are no houses, streets or anything else, The city pays for more light than is of any benefit to it. Lower lights would do just as well and would cost less. Enough could be supplied to litht up the glens in very good shape, and it will not cost a cent more, Sixty or seventy lights would be enough to light Brroadway in the very best manner, and also in_many outside strects as needed it. Iam positive that with a reasonable rate for electric light, we could make these chauges, and light the city far better than at present for the money now paid for the vari- ous kinds of lighting in different parts of the city. An arc light swung diagonally over a street intersection makes a very good light in the business portion, and an incandescent light, of sixteen or thirty-two candle poy in an ordinury street lamp isn’t a bad thin in the residence part. Iam in favor of ad- vertising for all kinds of bids, gas us well as elcotric, and award the contract to the one wilo gives the most and best for the least money. We are paying a great deal too much now, much more than avywhere else in the state, ana I want things put in shape right away, 50 that when the present con- tract expires we can enter on a new plan at once,” Dexter, employment. — Dwelling for sale'on easy payments.

Justice Hendricks disposed of a good sized grist yesterday morning, in fact, the largest he has ground out since assuming the duties of police judge. John Lane, a fourteen-year-old scion of a South Eighth street family, had indulged in the questionable pastime of frescoing the house of an old gentleman named Donaldson with rotten eggs. All of the witnesses of the scene wero not present, and the case was continued until to-duy. 1t is stated that the affair has created quite @ bad odor in that vieinity, Oscar Jones, who was arrested for assault- ing a man named Erickson, at the Hotel Danmark, had his case continved until to- day, when he will bo tried in 'Squire Hen- drick’s court, A trio were brought in from Tenth street and Avenue C, Thoy were Mrs, Majeck and her sons Will and George. They were ac- cused of making it aitogether too lively for the neighbors in that locality, and were booked for disturbing the peace. They were also granted & continuauce untl 2 o'clock this afternoon. Charles Lowis evidently considered him- self a trifie fresb, for he crawled iuto Mul- holland’s iec house and camped on & cake of coolness, He had several pawn tickets in his possession, but no lease of his bed, and an officer trausferred him to the city cooler. Certain suspicious papers which were in his pockets induced the court to hold him for future reference. Nicholas Vennet and William Boenerman, two turnpike tourists, were found acting in @ ratuer suspicious manner in the North- western yards, and Oficer Beswick levied on them. Both had considerable money, but refused to give an_mccount of themselves, and were orderod hold for furtlier investiga- ion, Mike Money stated that he belonged to Neola, and wanted to back the ball team of that place against the world, The marshal hinted that the fellow must be insane, but the court witnessed last Sunduy's game be- tween the Noolas and the Odells, and con- cluded that there was nothing strauge or un- reasonable in the man's statement. Michael was accordingly discharged. An alleged vagrant, who for Dolan, was likewise rel A quartette from Omaha did not fare so well. They gave the names of Jack Decoto, Thomas Culing and J.
