How Mayor Bemis Has T Against Eraudulent Claima, 1t has buen an open secret around the city hall for the past two weeks U gentleman who looks after the in the Thomson-Heuston Electric Light com- a1 secured the piedges of twelve nen to pass over the mayor's veto the full amounts of the bills of that compauy for street lighting for June, July and August in return for certain assistance at tho coming election. However, it was the understanding awmong these twelve guardians of the inter- ests of the taxpavers that they would not be called upon to ‘‘del the goods” until after the clection. It with a good dea of surprise, therefore, that some of the twelve v/ho wore not let iuto the true in- wardness of the deal heard read Wednesday night a letter from the president of the com- pany asking for the payment of all the dis- puted bills excepu that for June. It may not be uninteresting at this time to review a little ancient history rogarding vhis much mooted question, To Mayor Bemis is due the ing the coungil to a recognition of the rights of the tuxpayers. December 13 lust the mayor vetoed the November bill of the Thomson-Houston company, on the ground that the lights furnished by that company were not up to the requirements of its ¢ with the city, This conclusion was ched by the mayor after. consultation with several gentlemen of this city who are thoroughly conversant with the science of electricity und electric lighting, all of whom were of the opiuion that the lights furnished by the Thomson-Houston company were far below the standard required. This veto was overridden, and another v 0, January 81, on the same grounds, met W tha similar fate, After ceaseless hammermg by the mayor the council wus fiualiy, prevailed upon to purchaze u photometer o test ihe uro lights and settle the question of whether the con- tract was being complied with. The little instrumen rrived dn'June and it and the city electrician have been the butt for the ridicule of certain couneilmen ever since. hese councilmen have thrown cold water on the idea of testingthe candle power of arc lights and have openly stated that all the prominent elecirical authorities were agrecd that these lights could not bo tested accurately. g Careful and delicate thsis of several lights have been made with)' the photometer by the electrician and the lu'?:mnt city engiveer, who is an expert maihematician, and these have demoustrated that the lights are less than 1,000-candle power. In other words, it has been proven that the Thomson-Houston company has been receiving double pay on an outrageously high contract. The bills of this company amount o over $500 per mouth, and this means that the city has been paying $15,000 per year 1o the Thomson- Houston company over and asbove what it has been entitled to. Electricians the world over were on the qui vive during the past six months by reason of the anuouncAment that Sylvan P. Thomson, the eminent Hnglish el trician, would read & paver on arc lighting before the world's electrical congress at the World’s fair in August last. One varagraph of this paper was a3 follows “Doubtless the imperfeciions of the photometric methods uutil recent years were such that the production of an exact otected the City dit of fore- standard of white light was of less 1m portance than is now the caso since ‘vhnlflm\‘lrv has become an art of pr on. >rof. Ayrton, adopting the periodic prin ciple of photometry lately described by the author, and using a photometric screen of the Lummer Broahun pattern, finds no difi- oulty in measuring light with n precision of one part in 500, Now that such acouracy of measurement is possiole there is ore urgency for adopting & standard which 1s not only of entirc trustworthiness, but is also easily reproduced.” Carbart, an_electrical inventor riclan of nationsl reputation professor of electricity in the State univ sity of Michigan, in a paper read betore the world's electrical congress at the World's fair, August 24 last, said, referring to the candle-power of are lights Hence for a lamp of 450 volts the current should be about 8.4 amperes with the carbons describod above. The candle power was then 900, At 10 amperes and 45 volts this curve shows the surprising fact that the candlo power was only 450." In August the mayor vetoed the of the Thomson-Houston company, amount ing to £2,547.05, submitting the results of the photometer tests. Several of the councilmen who had been loudest in their opposition to the idea of pay- ing for what was lly received, in a dramatic manner voted to sustain’ the mayor, but gave notice that the mayor must shoulder all responsibility in tha mattor In September the July billof this com pany, amounting to $2,551.36, met with the sanie fate and Octover 3 the August bMl amounting to §2,552.41, was vetced and sus tained The diplomatic president of the elec:ric light company has said opeuly that he would into the courts to prove the jus of sthe bills, but would shut down h plant. He has admitted thit the lights furnished were not capable of giving 2,000 candle power. June bill THACHER Mrs, Barnaby's Al visoner Reported to Be Enjoying His Liberty, Dexver, Oct. 19.—The Rocky Mountain News publishes a sensational story about the death of Dr. ‘. Thatcher Graves which is supposed to have occurred in the county Jnil in this city on September 15 of poisoning. ‘T'he story is to the effect that Charles Chandler, 'a weatthy citizen of Thompson Center, Conn., arrived hero Tuesday in cot- pany with Stephen Morse. of the same town, which 1s Dr. Graves' old home and where the body is supposed to hive been buried. These gentlemen told the hotel prictor where they swopped that Dr. Graves W not dead, that the casket w opened at the grave in Thompson Center against the protests of the widow and found to contain 4 pine iog iustead of a dead body, and that the supposed dead doctor is now enjoying his liberty in a foreign country. A vumor has been current here for somo time past that the body carried from the cell in the jail on_that Sunday morning was wax and not the flesh of theaileged poisoner and this trick had been played to give the prisoner his liberty and deceive the public. 1t issupposed the parzies to this deception were some high officials and a secret, organi- zation.
