Alderman Ktiglesby thought the report was not made in the pioper manner. The proper waj lo do would be lor the com mittee to decide on what they wanted and repot t to the Board. Then tne committee should advertise lor bids. He (lid not question the tint that the proposition was cheap 1 ii L it was not the way to do busi-lie-s Aid. ftiiati Johnson read a li-t of rates charged by companies in oilier cities and said that the plans weie made by the commute,-'! he thought the lemarks ot Alder- m li.

Aldet man Sutton said that the commit tee had taken all the means necessary to arrive at a just conclusion in relation to the matter. They had ascertained the price charged by companies in other cities ami decided that the rates offered here were reasonable. Aldei man McKillip thought if the com pany would allow the city to locate the ligh'ts that, be would favor the commit tee's report. President Kennedy of the Klcctric com pany then upon request ((ddresscd the Board. The cost of delivering electricity to 1.1 lights according to the hist proposi tion was jW',, cents per lamp and 00 cents was the juice asked. In lehition to the quality i f the lights he would say that he was instructed by the company to mnke propositions for lamps of llrst-class final ity to lie run at full power. As to the var ious plan-, he could not say which would be the most successful. The best way to do would be to tiy a .small number and then having the option to ehaugo, the city could adopt which ever plan should prove best. Aldermnn Kuglesby's motion was then put and lost. Alderman Peirce thought it there was to be a meeting ot the City Council the IiiM of this week the commit tee might be able to make a fuller and more satisfactory report. Alderman Sut. ton thereupon moved that Alderman Kn glesbyV motion hs reconsideied, and it was passed without a dissenting vote.

Mr. Benedict estimates the value of the estate at over $100,000. This would make Miss Kolsom's share about 430,000 ; and although none of the colonel's li lends who could he seen was willing to admit that bo made a niw will, it Is thought Irom t lie many exhibitions ot allec tton lately shown by him tli.it she had been better cared lor.

JIAXWlil.t, CON'I'lIsSi:-,. How He Disposed of Ills rriend lM-ellor, St. l.ofls, May il." A detective who caused himself to he ai tested and imprisoned next to Maxwell has obtained a confession from the hitler, beginning with his flr-t acq laintance witli Pieller on ship board. He noticed that Preller had in his possessliou a large amount of money. They separated in Hoston, Preller going to Philadelphia and Maxwell coming to St. Louis. The de fendant in this confession said that on Fridav night, after Preller joined him in tills cfty he told Maxwell that it would lie impo-sihle for him to pay the defendant's way toAuckland, whither they had ar ranged to go together. This, said the de fendant to the witness, angered him greatly, and he determined to "tlx him for his liicnunes-." On the billowing night lie nnd Preller were sitting in the former' room when the latter complained of seveie pains in his side. "Oh, I can tlx that right ; I have treated such cases be fore." He then injected hypodermlcally into his triend's arm a stillicteut amount of morphine to render him unconscious. After lie had been in this condition tor some time, lie bound a cloth completely saturated with chloroform about his friend's head, and this, lie confessed to the witness, "ended the business." He then secured all of Prellcr's money, about iisl)() in all, besides most of his valuable personal cli'cct.s, and planned his escape, the details of which are so well known.
