The average annual cost of 2000 candle power arc lights for 25 cities owning their own plants was 153.04, and including interest and depreciation, $86 64, or abent $7 a month per light; of 29 cities buying their lights of private companies. $106.01, or about (0 a light. Under these figures eome lights were only used 8 hours .some not on moonlight nights, son e till twelve o'clock, a majority all night. A good many cities though do not ran them on moon light nights. The figures are tor smaller cities using from 31 to 23 lights, the former, by Bath, Maine, a eity ot 8,000 or 10,000, at a coat ot about $10 a light. Peoria, III., has 233 lights at a coat of $145 a light, Hil'sboro, Ohio, a city just about the eite ot Albany, runs 63 lights at a cost of $70 per year per light, a total coat ot $4410 a year, the cheapeet per light of any city named baying the lights- Houston, Tex., pays $150 a light for 92 lights. The figures vary wonderfully in different placae. The average number of lights par thousand population seems to be about five, on a rough estimate. Talk about high prices. Elgin, III., paid $906.60 a :ight per year; got mad, bought their own plant, and the coat was only $43 a light, on a $23,000 plant- A sample-city is Bellaire, Ohio, population about 10,000, with 62 lights, costing $90 a light. A city like Albany, judging merely from the figures ot this article, might do wH with 20 lights at not oyer $10 a light, and it is probable, when the city's script Is par again that will be about the sise of it. The subject is an interesting one, and it will pay our readers to see the article referred to. Tub Y M C A Ektbbtainmext, last night was a pleasant and meritorious one all through, and those who managed it are entitled to credit for giving our citizens such a choice program. Messrs Prichard, Lee, Sears and Thompson weie heard, In opening, in a well rendered song. A Monologue, "Heads not Hearts, are Trumps," was presented by Miss Mamie CundlS with splendid effect. Miss Cun diff is an adeht in Delsarte. The Tom Thumb Wedding was the event of the evening, one of the prettiest things ever presented in Albany. About twenty little boys and girls were" the performers. The scenes were courtship, marriage, and the reception, and all the children "did them selves proud" in their rich wedding ap parrels. A tableau, "Queen Guinevere and the Nun.-' was pretty. A vocal solo by Rev Win A Trow was piesented in a rich pleasing voice, and was heartily applaud ed. Several classical tableaux were given In an artistk manner, with Miss Helen1 Crawford as reader adding materially to the fine effect of the tableaux. A vocal solo by Miss Eva Cowan In connection with one of the tableaux was greatly appreciat ed. A cold night detracted from the at tendance. Heavy Damages. The jury on the $10,000 damage suit of J R Mclntyre (gainst the Wells-Fargo Espress Co and "Thug" Sullivan, the professional de tective in Portland last week, returned a verdict for $7000 in favor of plaintiff to gether with costs. Mclntyre and Stewart, two young men, were agents for Wells Fargo at Tacoma. On March 8, 1S9, a package of Siooo was shipped from that office to Everett, but it has not reached Its destination up to date. "Thug' Sullivan, as he is called in Tacoma, Seattle and other places, was put on the track of tht coin and took Mclntyre iu charge without oat warranr of authority. Be subjected his prtsonerto Indignities that no Ameri can dtixen should withstand and flna'ly let him go. The damage suit followed, with the result as above The jury with the exception of one man was In favor of $10, 000 damages, btewart has sued for $ Jo, 000, also, and it is the general opinion tba he will receive heavier damages than Mclntyre did. Oca Exchanges Remarks Our val ley exchanges will be quick to get on to Albany's electric light arrangement, and of course will not give the whole of it. The Salem Statesman takes the Lebanon man's joke seriously. The Democrat makes a practice of publishing whatever is said about Albany whether it hurts or not, and hence gives the following from the Salem Statesman; which is not a fair statement of the case. It is learned that the city council of Albany has ordered all the electric street lights but nine diacon tinuetLtnd is negotiating with Lebanon for twenty one of 'heir old kerosene street lamps, tbe latter town being now lighted with electricity. Albany has also cut the salary of her street commissioner down to a dollar a day. Is it possible Albany is going back on 'her reputation for progrss and thrift, or has the city council fallen into the hands of mossbackt.' A Fine Talk. Those who missed hearing Mrs E A Blair, the W CTU chalk talker, missed a rare treat. Mrs Blelr is a National chalk talker of the so ciety she repttsents and her work is large ly with children. Her success was clearly shown Tuesday evening by comparing the ready responses trom the front seats near the close of her lecture with the shy answers first given. Mrs Blair did not fail to interest children of a larger growth. She well deserved a larger audience than she had Tuesday night, but she could not have had a more appreciative one. the community so fortunate as to secure the services of this lady will not only be de lighted with her as a cultivated christian woman but as a most excellent chalk talker as well, We would have been glad if every father in Albany could have heard her and had in his memory her vigorous illustrations. Decidedly FutHr. A remarkable fish story comes to as from the Little North Fork of tbe Santiam. We give it as it "as related to us, and our readers can draw their own conclusions. Last Thursday morning snow commenced falling in a lively manner, and Saturday had reached a depth of about fourteen inches. Then it was that a warm rain ret in, and the snow was rendered a watery mass. The fish had grown hun gry owing to tbe scarcity of bugs and flies, and took to the mountains in vast, numbers in quest of food, swimming with some difficulty through the slash. In that vicinity the earth's surface stands on end, and tbe water ran off very fast, leaving the fish on dry land to be picked up by the settlers. Barrels of them, we are told, were caught in this manner and saitea down for future use. antiain Lumberman. Two E. O. Bills. The claims o Eastern Oregon are being well presented In the legislature.

Us aerllBC, of aelo, akeala tUs Wtrraae Then nissseir. Mr. Herman Hacker arrived in Albany horseback, from near Scio, at about 7 :30 this morning, and hunted up Coroner Farrell in time for that gentleman to leave on the 8 o'clock O. P. train tor tbe scene of one of the wont tragedies ever occurring in Linn county. A Democrat man saw Mr. Hooker and obtained from him tbe following particulars: Otto Seining, well known all over Linn county, resides about three miles this aide of Scio. In Jane, 1891, his wife died. About six months afterwards be was married to Mrs Lydia Johnson , in Portland, Mr Sertiing being her third husband. They do not eeem to have Sotten along very well together. Mrs erfling made a number of trips to Port land, and only recently returned from a several weeks trip there, and the indica tions were had decided to leave Sertiing permanently, having packed tier trunk vesterdav probably lor that purpose Last night a party was held at the resi dence of Mr Fred Mespelt. Mr Sertiing went early in the evening, walking, and later Mrs Serfiing and a son and daughter . n , ' 1 . ma . 01 jar periling, in a nacx. xnroe otner sons were alto present. When Mrs Ser tiing entered Mr Serfiing wai playing cards with Mr Meeker ana two others He arose, went and whispered something to bis wile, and then went out and to bis home. This was before 8 o'clock in the evening. Mrs Serflins: remained until about 2:30 this morning when she re turned home with two or three of the sons, a son and daughter remaining at the party, where dancing was in progress. While a lamp was being lighted in the sitting room Mrs Serfiing went into the bedroom. A fire waa Darning, bat there was no light except that from a bright morning, it being clear at tbe time. Ser fiing was waiting, sitting in a chair, and had evidently been there all night. A hired girl was also in the house. With out warning, before Mrs Serfiing had taken off her veil, be shot hie wife with a revolver, bitting her jaat under tbe nose, and then snot himself nnder the ear. Three shots were fired in all. Both died probably instantly. Neighbors and those attending the party were called in. All waa confusion when Mr Hecker left the place. A young man, whom Mrs Serfiing claimed was a nephew, there, bat in Al bany said was a son, lived with them, and probably caused some trouble At one time Mrs Serfiing and tbe young man were in Albany and tried to get rooms to open an intelligence office, hav ing been in the business before, bat it seems made up with Serfiing again. Par ties posted in reference to the marital affairs of the couple, aay Mrs Serfiing was undoubtedly trying to get all of Ser fiing's money possible, and several let ters in Albany show that aha wanted $1000 to help pay an indebtedness on eome Portland Heights property. She also wanted a house and lot in ber name in Albany. Serfiing objected, though he gave her several hundred dollars- He waa in Albany about a month ago and bad his will drawn, leaving his property to his children. He remarked at tbe time that he proposed to kill himself on account of his troubles with his wife, whom, with all ber desertiojs of him. he sescps to have thought a great deal of, aa sno waa a shrewd, nice looting woman Both were about fifty years of age. A TCtSiSlt EX IsUCB, We go to tbe Portland Telegram for tbe lol lowing extracts from a column article about some neighbors up tbe Santiam: F W Hall, who resides at Mehama, a small village of about 200 inhabitants, situated on the Santiam river tome 30 miles east oi Salem, came down to this city yesterday en route to San Francisco, taking the overland last evening. To a reporter Mr Hall told the axterience of three young men. who resided near Me bama. which resulted in two deaths, and the other baa only one chance out of many to live. Tbe young men, G A Hosye, H S Powell and Gas Haines, all live on farms on Fox prairie. About 10 day a ago they started out for Silver Creek falls on a deer shooting expedition . Near tbe tails lives an old bachelor named Wolf, who hunts, fishes and picks blackberries for a live lihood. It waa at Wo'.f'a house, or hut, tbe hunters first stopped, and after re maining over night they started ont again next morning, laden with such pro visions only aa are needed on such expo ditiona, but aa tbey expected to retain to Wol's place that night they left their blankets behind. The ground was covered with saow to a depth of 20 inches, though high on the mountain sides it was much deeper, and about noon, when a blinding snow storm set in, the three hunters were completely at a loos to know in which dirsction to travel homeward. After making repeated efforts to roach Wofl's place they gave up in despair, and com menced walking about in a circle and slapping their hands against their bodies in a vain endeavor to keep warm. Aa the men did not return that night Wolf and a neighbor with eome dogs started on a hnnt for tbe men. About noon, by tbe aid of the dogs, they came upon Hoeye and Powell, who told them that Haines had died daring tbe previous night, while rowel Is legs were so frightfa'.iy frozen that they were al most black. His hands and lace were also badly f rosea. Hoeye's hands and feet likewise were f rozeu.bnt not so badly aa Powell's, for tbe latter could not speak. Together the rescuers carried Powell down to Wolf 'a place, a distance of several miles, and then they returned for Hoeye, who was unable to walk. They did not reach the cabin till late that night, and then tbey found tbat Powell was dead. A doctor living aoout vi milss away was sent for next morning, and on making an examination stated that amnatation ot Hoeye e leet ana possibly his hands would be necessary. The sufiering man waa quieted by the use of opiates, and waa then taken home in Fox valley. Haines' body was taken from tbe snow on the second day after the discovery of the men, and on the fol lowing 4ay be and hia comrade were buried. Will Locate In Brownsville.

FALSIFICATION. Secretary Foster's report on the condition of tbe treasury, made in answer to tbe questions of the ways and means committee hardly fulfills the expectations entertained injjwuni it. it was expected to be an .Kujuua piece or la smcauon. it u a very clumsy one instead, as will appear upon analysis In his first table, purporting to show receipts and expenditures for the first six months ot the fiscal year, he figures oat a "net cash" balance of 1129,092,588.20 in the treasury on December 31st, 1892, in eluding the gold reserve, which is not part of tbe net cash balance at all, but a trust fund completely covered by a liability. Deducting it.the statement shows a balance in the treasury of 129,092,588.20. Tbi is in exact accordance with the showing made in the December debt state ment, but it is not in accordance with the fact, as Mr Foster's own tabies reveal. In another table he shows that the gov ernment is under "contract liabilities,'' amounting to $65,473,933. 65, or 36,38L 345.45 mew than the total so-called "net net cash balance," exclusive of the geld reserve. Uf these con tract liabilities, according to Mr Foster's showing, W&MMM must be met daring the present fiscal year. which of itself very nearly wipes out tho alleged "net cash balance." Added to aJl this there are other ex pendi tores ' 'anthor- ired by law, but not ret appropriated for." amounting to $82,221,890.04. In the light of these figures furnished by Mr Foster himself, it is seen at a glance that tbe debt statements for months past hare been the juggleries of bookkeepers set to rnaae a false showing, and that so far from baring a balance of nearly $30,000,000 to the good, there is actually a great de ficiency in the treasury. It 1 in still other tables, however, tbat by a bit of clumsiness Mr Foster reveals bis methods of snaking that appear which be wishes to appear. rigoring out tbe probable condition of I he treasury at tbe end of this fiscal year June 30t next 1, Mr Foster has selected tbe insignificant amount of 92,000,000 aa tbe balance tba- will be then in the treasury of this great government. This is the exact amount be fixed upon in his annual report . But in hut annual report he estimated the pension expenditure at i .-.: Cm). Thev bare been iracrsaaed by later nti ma 1m to ! 161 .335,900, and Mr Foster puts thorn at that figure in his present tiateme&L Bad am sj I triM boj hu satfawM utuasce 01 s-.'aw.wj and leave a deficiency stead; so. like tho dsshossaat tookkoouer who adds to one side of an account the exact sum necessary to cover up a change on the other, he increase his estimate of internal revenue receipts by precisely the amount of the increase in pension expendi ture, raising it from $16. 000, 000 in hit annual report to fl6S.335.000 in tbe ism ill statement There is absolutely nothing upon which to base this increased estimate, and the rmaaaj blunder of making tho increase coincide to a dollar with the amount added to pension expenditures reveals the shallow trick by which the secretary figures out exactly the balance previously determined upon. - '. s easier:-i f t-.e BUHdI Dollar congress and the wasteful manage ment of the administration hare reduced the treasury to sore straits which it is the secretary's task to conceal if possible until the term of republican misrule ends. He has not been sacassful in doing it. Tbe surplus is gone. The liabilities of the treasury are greatly in excess of its nl Tbe enormous revenues bare been spent The revenues of the future aso heavily mortgaged. These are the results attained by four years of Harrisoaism. McKiniey ism and Raunibm. Tbe first concern of a democratic admin istration and congress mast be to restore tbe treasury to a condition of financial soundness. The democratic state central committee fa session st Salem Thursday adopted the fol ioalng resolution expressive of tbe sentiment of tbe democratic party of the state la regard to the course pursued by Governor Pennoye towards president-elect Cleveland: 'The state democratic central committee of Oregon here assembled regret the attitude taKcn ty SSS excellency, Uorernor Peaooyer, toward tbo leader ot oar party. President elect Grover Cleveland. The people have for a second lime and by an overwhelming majoi Ity shown their confidence In President Cleveland, and it HI becomes Oovernor Fenooyer, who has re peatedly been honored by ike democratic party to attempt to throw slnrs on Its great est leader. "We hereby renew our allegiance to the chosen chief executive of bis country and consider Governor Pennoyer's utUrancea against him as unwarranted and sensational." For months democrats bare borne with out resentment these continued personal st- acks upon the pret-dent-elect, knowing that tbey were purely personal upon the part of tbe governor, instigated by tbe belief on the part cf the governor that somehow Cleve land stood in his way to the presidency. Of course this belief on the part of the gover nor is wholly absurd, and, with those who know some inside facts about Oregon politics such belief on the part of the governor ren ders him ridiculous. Senator Weatherfoid hss introduced a bill which provides that every railroad company organized or doing business In this State, shall be liable for all damage done to any employe of such company. In consequence of aay negligence of tta agents, or by any misunderstanding of its engineers or other employes, to any person sustaining such damage. It also provides that every con tract hereinafter made to change or limit the liability of any railroad company to any of its employes for Injuries, shall be null and void.

If Governor Pennoyer is correctly report ed in yesterday Statesman, his dislike of President Cleveland has developed into a mania, and he is a fair subject for the kindly offices of bis appointee at the 0 8 I A. According to the morning paper the adjutant general requested of tbe governor permission to use two brass cannon belong ing to the stabs for-the purpose of firing a salute at Portland on inauguration day. and the governor responded as follows: No permission will be given to use date cannon for firing a salute over the inauguration of a Wall street plutocrat as president of the United States. Webelievs this is the first time that a governor of a state has insulted a president elect In an official utterance. Governor Pennoyer's hatred of Cleveland has been characterized by the utmost intemperance and he has not hesitated to use language in bis denunciation unworthy of the lowest gutter snips Tbe governor has disgraced his high office and utterly forfeited any title he may have had to tbe respect of democrats. No one has at any time dis puted his right to oppose Mr Cleveland's views; but when he forsakes legitimate op position and resorts to his stereo rary for arguments be only overs himself with its contents and the object of his abuse is unharmed. The strong hold which tho governor at one time bad upon tbe democ racy of this state is demonstrated by the leniency with which tbey have treated his abuse of Mr Cleveland. They fought for him loyally in two campaigns and rejoiced at his success. The least tbat he eUould have done was to refrain from injuring the party that made him governor. But self onceit and personal ambition appear to have been far stronger with him than grat itude or party loyalty, and so be forsook his party because it did uot see fit to nomi nate the candidate of bia chjica or tread the path be had marked ont. Then be predicted for it the moat igjnominions defeat Tbe great city of Xew York (where Wall street is located ) would, according to the governor, repudiate the choice of the de mocracy and Cleveland would not carry a single northern state. Now, when the remit is known, and from east to west, north to south, tbe people have conferred upon Mr Cleveland tho most overwhelming tribute of confidence and esteem ever given to any man in tbe country's history, the governor of Oregon, solitary and alone, raises his feeble voice and pipes "pluto crat" Tbe great democratic wigwam is still lost and big Injun Pennoyer it waiting patiently for. :! BBswln UN iNsWI that tbe Governor's bump of self esteem hat developed into a wen. it needs lanc ing. Marlon County Dea-ocrai. .XKWSCrttUlK JCDGB.

Yesterday, Senator Weatherford'e home stead bill No 30 came op ia ths senate 00 Its third reading. Senator Willis of MaUno mah made a vigorous, bitter fight against its peerage bat Mr Wea'.berfoid refuted in the most complete manner every argument made agaiast it.

We would like to take this occasion to sug gest to tbe Marion County Dtmocnt that. logically, Governor Pennoyer cannot now be called to answer, at a JetKociat, for hit course In the cannon matter. I.at June he vol untarily placed himself outside the pale of the democratic parti , and however base his ingratitude may be regarded by those who feel that men should not be heartless in pel itlcs, nevertheless he is, by htsowa volur tary act. not subject to criticism at a democrat But as a violation ot official nroprieiy ha may be properly criticized by people of all clssses and all parties, It is generally conceded by members ot the legislature of all opinions that the mortgage tax law will be repealed . And also tbe claate allowing deductions for Indebtedness wi.l meet the same fate.
