LAMPS THAT DID NOT BURN.
ELECTRIC COMPANY REDUCES
ITS DEMAND.
City Trustees Allow the October
Bill After Lopping Off Over
a Hundred Dollars.
The regular meeting of the City
Board of Trustees was held last night,
all the members present.
Monthly reports of the Chief of Po
lice, City CoMector, Superintendent of
Streets, Chief Engineer of the Water
W r orka, City Tapper, Chief of the Fire
Department, City Surveyor, Auditor,
Treasurer, Superintendent of the City
Cemetery and Poundmaster were read
and ordered placed on file.
A proposed ordinance, providing that
runners for restaurants and lodging
houses be made to pay & license of $10
per quarter, took the usual course —laid
over one week.
The Mayor reported that Street Su
perintendent Touhey had been granted
a two days' leave of absence.
It was decided to accept an invita
tion to visit Auburn on Saturday next
for the purpose of examining the qual
ity of water in the North Fork of the
American River, with a view to fur
nishing the city's water supply from
that source, and on motion of Trustee
Paine, Trustee Devine was elected
"Grand Marshal of the Parade," and
instructed to make all necessary ar
rangements for the trip.
Then the report of Chief of Police
Dwyer. respecting the condition of the
city's electric lights during the month
of October, was taken up. It called for
lengthy debate before it was definitely
disposed of. The report showed that
during the month in question a great
many of the street lights were not
burning when seen by officers on their
beats, and that at times the lights were
turned on late in the evening and turn
ed off early in the morning.
Then Mayor Land, basing his action
on the report of the Chief of Police,
recommended that the bill of the Sac
ramento Electric, Gas and Railway
Company for lighting the streets in
October, be reduced from $1,600.50
($6.15 per light) to $1,549.80, making it
nearly $5.75 per light, and, as so re
duced, that it be approved.
A motion to that effect by Trustee
Tebbets was carried, and the bill was
ordered paid.
Trustee Bentley said that the bill had
never been referred to the Auditing
Committee of the Finance Committee,
and that accordingly the committee nor
the board could tell whether or not it
was just. He thought that as an act of
common courtesy the bill ought to have
been referred to the Chairman of the
Auditing Committee before being acted
on by the board.
Trustee Dolan said he believed the
reduction as made on the Mayor's rec
ommendation was a just one, but if
Trustee Bentley felt aggrieved he
would move to reconsider the vote
whereby the claim was ordered paid.
The motion was seconded by Trustee
Brown, but under the two-thirds rule
was lost by five ayes to three noes,
President McKay declining to vote.
President McKay said the electric
company had done the best it could do,*
and that when the supply of water in
the river had diminished in quantity
until there was not enough to generate
electricity for all purposes it had re
ceived assistance from the railroad
shops. The late fire in the shops had
cut off that supply and as a conse
quence the contract had not been filled
to the letter.
Trustee Devine said that a reduc
tion of 35 cents per light might be a
reasonable compensation, but \e was
opposed to rushing the matter through
before the Auditing Committee had had
a chance to make a report on the claim,
and for that reason he had been in fa
vor of reconsidering the action of the
board.
Trustee Tebbets thought it silly to
refer the matter to the Auditing Com
mittee in the face of the report of the
Chief of Police and the recommendation
of the Mayor. If the matter was re
ferred to the committee its members
could do nothing except confer with
the Chief of Police and his officers, and
could gain no additional information.
Trustee Bentley said his contention
was founded on the fact that the bill
had never been passed on by the Aud
iting Committee. He said the city
was paying high rates for lights for
public buildings, and every demand
put in by the electric company ought
to be closely scrutinized before being
allowed by the board.
S. Luke Howe, Secretary to the
Mayor, said it had been next to im
possible to get accurate information
respecting the number of lights that
were not burning at specified times
during the month of October. The
electric company had estimated that
an aggregate of eighteen lights were
out every night during the month; that
a deduction to that amount would be
about the proper thing, and that as
that estimate had seemed reasonable
the Mayor had compromised on that
number.
Trustee Brown raised the point that
the action in allowing the Sill was in
valid, inasmuch as it had never been
passed on by the Auditing Committee.
Trustee Dolan said- the board could
act on any bill without its being re
ferred to any committee, and he was
sustained by President McKay.
Trustee Devine moved that the Chiefs
of the Fire Department. Water Works
and Police hand in reports showing
the increase in the cost of electricity
for lighting the public buildings. The
motion was carried.
Trustee Bentley said the bold state
ment had been made that the cost for
sixty-eight lights had been deducted
from the bill for lighting the streets,
and 25 cents from each and' every light
besides. That, he said, would amount
to over $400, whereas the bill as al

lowed showed a deduction of only
$110.
Trustee Dolan said the statement
made by him was to the effect that -5
cents had been deducted from each and
every light, so that instead of the city
paying $6.15 per light for the 270
lights, it paid only $5.90.
Mayor Land said he believed tbe bill
was correct, and ought to be paid. He
had conferred with the attorney for the
electric company, Mr. Hatfield, and
they had compromised by deducting the
cost of eighteen lights for the month.
He had figured on the matter closely
and believed it was a just bill. He
said the electric company had beeri kind
to the city and had not attempted to
charge for new lights put in. He be
lieved that the compromise agreed" upon
was a correct one and that the bill
ought to be paid.
Trustee Brown renewed the motion
to reconsider the vote by which the bill
was allowed, and it was /econded by
Devine.
. Trustee Tibbets opposed the motion
and said that the electric company
paid taxes here and ought to be pro
tected. thought the bill as report
ed by the Mayor was a correct one and
was satisfactory to him.
Trustee Bentley said the corporation
admitted that it had not, in the month
of October, fulfilled its contract with
the city, and that all he desired to do
was to ascertain whether the reduc
tion was sufficient. He was unable to
figure on the Chief of Police's report in
ten minutes, and- only wanted time to
properly examine' it. He said the cost
for lighting the public buildings had
been doubled within the past year, and
he desired to ascertain why it was so.
He had at previous meetings called at
tention to the increased cost, but had
been ignored by the board.
Mayor Land explained that instead
of sixteen-candle power incandescent
lamps used a year ago thirty-two can
dle power lights are now used, which
doubles the cost of lighting.
The motion to reconsider the vote
whereby the bill was ordered paid was
lost by a vote of 4 to 4, President Mc-
Kay declining to vote, and the bill will
be paid.

THE RECOBfi-TffrlOy, SACRAMENTO? TUESDAY, KOVEMBEB 22; 1898.
HARRISON, THE WIFE-SLAYER
IS HELD TO ANSWER FOR HIS
FIENDISH CRIME.
His Little Daughter Tells of Seeing
the Fatal Shot Fired at
Her Mother.
On October 3d Thomas Harrison shot
{ his wife, Mary C. Harrison, at their
; home in the Rio Vista tract, near the
| County Hospital, east of this city, in
j flicting wounds from which she
i died four days later. Harri
j son was arrested and lodged
in the County Jail, where he is al
leged to have made statements re
specting the shooting. He was charged
i with murder, and his preliminary ex
! amination was held before Justice
Gandy at Oak Park yesterday morn
ing, resulting in his being held to an
swer without bail. He was represent
ed by Attorneys Grove L. Johnson and
P. S. Driver, while Assistant District
Attorney J. Charles Jones looked after
the interests of the people.
Dr. Brooke, Assistant County Physi
cian, was the first witness. He held
the autopsy on the dead woman, and
testified that death resulted from a pis
tol bullet which entered the right
breast, passed through the lung and
lodged in the chest cavity. The victim
had also been shot in the arm and
beaten about the head, apparently with
the revolver. The witness also pre
sented the woman's ante-mortem state
ment, which was corroborative of pub
lished accounts.
Florence Harrison, the twelve-year
old daughter of the deceased and her
slayer, testified that just before the
tragedy.,she heard her mother cry out,
and on entering the room saw her
father pointing a revolver at her
mother. Her mother seized the weapon
and then her father fired. Her mother
called to her to run, or her father would
kill her, too, and with her little sister
she ran out of the house.
Deputy Sheriff J. J. Hinters testified
to having examined the premises after
the shooting, his evidence being prac
tically the same as the account publish
ed i» the "Record-Union" the morning
after the crime was committed. While
confined in the County Jail the ac
cused told the witness that he shot his
wife, but was sorry for doing so, and
could not tell why he had done it.
Mary Coons, who resides at 1806 O
street, in this city, testified to having
talked with Mrs. Harrison on October
sth, two days before her death. Mrs.
Harrison told her she knew her wound
was fatal. She stated that her hus
band entered the room, where she was
sitting on the floor putting on her
shoes. He choked her, and when she
i got on her feet he drew his revolver
J and fired two shots at her, one of
I which entered her breast, the other her
arm.
Harrison's attorneys declined to place
him on the stand in his own defense, or
to offer any evidence of any kind, and,
as heretofore stated, Justice Gandy
held Harrison to answer without bail.
