The Klectrlo Light.
The electric light, after many unforeseen de
lays, was finally seen in Ottawa (never to depart
until a better light is invented; on last Saturday
night. It started up early in the evening, before
it was yet dark, but It Immediately became the
subject of all the talk and the sensation of the
hour, drawing half the town to La Salle street
after tea. The lights were distributed as follows:
B Flake & Beem, four, one outside;
R. II. Trask, one;
G. Gehring, one;
Osman & Hapcman, one;
Scott Bros. & Co., four;
Ottawa Starch Works, four.
The machine was under charge of Mr. (.uim
by, representing the makers, and worked splen
didly, in spite of its being the Initiating night.
Bright as it was expected to be by those wbo
had seen this light before, and as hard on gas
set opposite to it, yet the difference between the
electric light and the gas was marvelous. The
former was bright and clear, of the delicious
color of bright moonlight concentrated" a
globe of water with a soul of Are;" the gas was
dark, thick and yellow as ochre. Stores that be
fore had been brilliant as day apparently, lookt d
dead filled with a soft-coal flame.
Every night since Saturday the houses named
above have had the light. Fiske cv- Beem have
changed the location of one lamp to distribute
the light better; while Osman & Ilapeman, find
ing one insulllcient, on Monday had a second in
troduced. All these stores are now beautifully
lighted. Its effects are mo6t beautiful where
there is much color in tho rooms lighted, or, as
at Trask's, flashing on silverware. Every color
'3 as clearly defined as in broad sunlight, so that
jiictures in colors, decorated walls and ceilings,
rows of books, Ac, are even more beautiful by
uight than by day. It is a light that not one of
the houses using it would now dispense with un
der any consideration. Every night it works
steadier and is more admirad. There yet remains
to make it perfect the attachment of the indica
tor. When this is introduced into the circuit,
individual lights can be shut oil" from one up to
twelve in number, leaving the rest burning, the
indicator giving the resistance to the machine of
one or more lights as they are shut otr by the
switches.
Those who lived west of the side-cut, or lateral
canal, who had their eyes open on Monday eve
ning, will cordially vote for the electric light for
street purposes. The clouds were black and
heavy, and the night was Intensely dark. As
Late as seven o'clock, at least,'not a street lamp
was burning. At that time one of the four of
the Starch Co.'s lights was hanging outside the
building. No direct rays fell on west Main street,
yet that street and the next one south were il
luminated by reflection as far west as Clay street,
about live blocks distant from the Starch Works.
It would seem that the darker the night the more
useful the light Judging from this effect, we
would venture the opinion that 10 lights, or a
machine similar to that now in use, would light
Ottawa better than it has yet been lighted.
There is now a geueral disposition to take the
light among our business men. It has been
proved a success. There was not a little risk in
introducing the light, but the firms taking it had
the nerve to take the risk, and now the light is a
success it must be but a short time before it is in
general use.
We find there are now four electric light com
panies: The Brush, the Weston, the Fuller and
tbc Edison. The Edison Is not on the market,
tjeicg bound up la law suits. We find on Inter
viewing Mr. yuimby, the Iectriclan who has
been doing the work here, that the Brush and
tie Weston lights are really the only ones now
practically in operation. Of these he considers
the Brash the better, of course. Hi reasons,
however, are good ones, the superiority of the
irjsh consisting chiefly in the lamp. The gen
eratora of the fluid In all are much the same,
though iu tho Brush tho workmanship on the
machine is considered better than In all others,
there being few parts liable to wear and these
are cheaply replaced when worn out. How long
they will wear without repairs is not yet a set
tied fact. The points of vantage, however, are
In the lamps, which are briefly summarized as
follows: By the Brush system any or all ot the
lumps as a circuit nitty be switched off (or put
out) without injury to the generator, the indica
tor offering the resistance of the lumps as they
are switched off. By mo of this switch ulso the
cundles in one ot more lamps may be renewed
without disturbance to the other lamps of a cir
cuit. In other systems should half the lamps be
put out, the uiuchlne would soon be burned up,
there being no method of controlling the surplus
electricity. In each of the Brush lamps Is an au
tomatic switch, so that lu case of accident to
individual lamps, as burning out of candles, the
automatic switch throws that lamp out of theclr
cult and preserves it from Injury. When the
cause is removed tho lamp may be again thrown
into the circuit and the light resumed by simply
moving tho switch back, throwing the fluid to
the carbon points. In other systems when one
light goes out all the lights go out. Again, the
Brush lamp alone Is made a double lamp so that
one lamp will burn without renewal of carbons
with perfect safety for 13 or 14 hours. By such
a lamp the lights may be started up say at (5 in
the evening; at 10 unc-half may be turned off,
leaving the rest burning all night as night lumps
in stores. The Brush light Is controlled by a lo
cal company, who, we understand, are ready to
furnish lights for all who wish them at a stated
rental, though at what definite cost we are not
Informed. We believe it would be slightly high
er than the cost to those now using the light
here, though still much less than gas.
Kkmemhkk, tnat we put on sale to-day 100 la
dies' black union beaver cloaks and dolmans at
prices ranging from $1.50 to 5.00. Persons de
siring such garments will find tho prices ex

The rumors of a serious row on Wednesday
night, come to this city, which we find exceed
ingly bard to trace to a fountain head. The par
ticulars as far as we can obtain them are these:
On Monday night two men named Slingsby and
Corcoran attacked Jack McCormlck, livlngnorth
west of this city. Between McCormlck and the
Slingsbys there has been an old feud, aud on
Wednesday nlght,as McCormick was going home,
from Ottawa, the two men named above waylaid
him and after stabbing him with a knife and
pounding him, left him on the road for dead. So
far as we can learn Jack is seriously hurt; but
though several persons in Ottawa are credited
with knowing all about it, it Is like getting blood
out of a stone to learn more of the facts than as
stated above.
Photograph albums, in great variety, and
lower than they can be found elsewhere. Be
sure and see Ocman & llapeman's stock before
buyiug.
