Prom Friday's Dally Herald.
There was an Important called meet*
lap of the Olty Connell yesterday after*
noob. Several matters that are of la
tprest to tho pnbllo claimed attention
aud were disposed of.
It is remembered that several months
aso the prinoipal engine at the eleotrio
Upht station, a 185-horse-power Ball dk
Wood machine, went to pieces while
running. It greatly orippled the plant,
but as the summer season was at hand,
and It being tho opinion of the engineer
and eleotrlolan that "both ends oonld be
made to meet” with the two remaining
engines till the (all season, It was de
cided not to have the disabled engine
repaired.
U la apparent now, however, that the
ntw plant wilt not be in readiness in
time to relieve the pressure of the heavy
fall rush, and it Is necessary to make
arrangements to meet the dlfllonlty that
baa In oonseqnonon arisen. The olty
was advised by Messrs. Moore & Mc
Crary, its consulting ong.noers, that it
would be ndvlsuble to have the Ball &
Wood engine repaired, end it was de
cided at yesterday afternoon's meeting
to take this course. The engine will be
shipped at ones to the manufacturers
for n thorough overhauling. It will
probably taka sixty days to oomplete
the job ■, then the engine will be shipped
beok to Albany and reinstalled at the
old power house. With its help, the
publiodomand for lights oau probably
be mot without difllonlty until the
completion of the new system. It is
thought tlint the Ball & Wood englnecan
then be sold for an amount equal to, if
not greater than, the 'oost of repair
ing it.
A contract was also signed up be
tween Mr. J. IS. Moore, for Mooro &
McCrary, and tho City Council, for the
erection of the new plant and pole lines.
The oontroct is, in elTeot, as follows:
Moore* McCrary agree to construct
the entire polu lino, build tho powor
house and foundation for iron stack,
plaoe all oleotrloal and steam machinery
ready to operate, and furulBh every
thing not already contracted for, exaept
steam pipe, belting, transformers aud
poles. Moore * McCrary are also to
furnish all labor, to begin work us soon
as practicable, and pros,unite It daily till
completed. They will farnisd band in
the earn of ♦a,000, and aro to receive for

SOMETHING NEW TO HIM.
A« Alkeey Mae Discovert ■ Orest Meildee
■id Is Weeler-Streck.
A night or two ago Hr. J. 1. Gilbert
oame strolling down town leisurely after
■upper, and hie attention wae attracted
by some beautiful piano music as he
tuned from Commerce into Jefferson
street.
The sound of the music wee coming
from the direction toward whloh Mr.
Gilbert was walking, and ae the motto
grew louder and louder with hie ap
proach, he began to realize that it was
the mnsie of an artist. Every note was
dear, and never did a false note sonod
to mar the sweet harmony of the in
spiring selection. The technique was
perfect, the expression was beautiful,
and Mr. Gilbert thought that In some of
the nearby house some musical genius
Wee dieplaying hie eMUty to the delight
of a seleot musical gathering.
As Mr. Gilbert came nearer the sonnd,
he located it os coming from the parlor
of Dr. O. W. Arnold, on the oorner of
Brood and Jefferson streets. Mr. Gilbert
Wes eager to see who was making this
beautiful mualo, aud he looked in
through the open window.
There at the piano eat Dr. Arnold
himself, hie hands moving in front of
him and hie body swaying to and fro in
easy rythm with tho sweet strains that
the Instrnment ponred forth. Mr.
Gilbert looked. He rnbbed his eyes and
looked again. Then he looked np the
street and saw that the trees and fences
and everything looked perfectly natural,
to he looked in the window again, bnt
■till he saw Dr. Arnold sitting at the
piano, and still he heard ponring from
it the sweetest mule he had ever heard,
The neighbors were all sitting about
on their porches u nnoonoerned
though nothing extraordinary were
happening and Dr. Arnold seemed to be
the only person in his parlor, so Mr.
Gilbert jut deotded that it was a com
mon occurrence for Dr. Arnold to give
these oonoorta and fill hie program with
octnpositions from Wagner, Gottsohnlk,
Ueet and others.
Mr. Gilbert went on down town and
•topped in Mr. S. E. Bush's store on
Broad street.
"Well, Steve," he began, "I have
lived to see something I never expected
to see. I have been living in Albany all
my life and I never have heard that Dr.
Arnold was an expert pianist. I believe
he Is the finest pianist I ever heard.
Why
"What aro you giving me, Joe," broke
in Mr. Bash. “You oau’t work any
gag like that on me."
"That's no gag, man, that's a foot,
and if you don’t believe it I can take
you up here to the oorner and let yon
hear him play."
"Well," said Mr. Bnsh, "there isn’t
muoh doing tonight, so I'll jut shut up
the store and prove you in a Uo right
now."
So, Hr. Buh shut up bis store aud
the two men walkod up towards Dr.
Arnold's homo. Long before tlioy got
there they heard masio.
"That's him playing now," said Mr.
Gilbert.
When the two men walked up in
front of Dr. Arnold's home, they looked
In the window and there Dr. Arnold
•at at the piano. Neither spoke for a
few minutes, whon Mr. Buh broke the
■lienee by a few emphatio words.
"Well, I didn't know it was in him.”
Now It happens that Dr. Arnold pur
chased an ongelus some time ago, and
he is quite expert in working it, so it
was the angehu and not the dootor who
was playing.
If you see Mr. Gilbert or Mr. Bush
they wil< probably "put 'em," for their
friends say that treats are on them
And as for the Dootor—well, this scribe
will, jut have to dodge him for a while.

lzed for the Improvement of the water

ing whatever bids had been sabmitted.
Of the bids reoelved, none was satis-
faotory to Ooanoll, no bid for better

mitted. It was decided to reject all

wrote that satisfactory bids would be
submitted if the denomination of the
bonds oonld be mode *500 or (1,000 in
stead of *100 This is a matter, however,
wbioh Ooanoll has no power to change
A resolution was adopted at today's

that he will have no difficulty in so
doing, os local parties are anxious to se

VERY POOR GAME.
Albaay Deltaic* Sylvester by a Scare at
17 la 5.
From Saturday’s Dally Herald.
Albany and Sylvester crossed bats on
the ball park yesterday afternoon in one
of the poorest ball games that has been
witnessed in Albany in many seasons.
The Sylvester team bad been heralded
as a strong aggregation of ball players,
and a much more interested game was
expeeted by the large crowd which wit
nessed it. The game was with
out a feature, fall ot errors and bad
plays, and so one-sided that it was de
void of all interast.
In the first inning Albany scored five
runs, and the Sylvester team went to
prices, allowing the Albany players to
run around the bases nntll their tongues
hung out.
Wheeler did the box work for the
visitors and the Albany boys batted
him at will. Bnt had Wheeler received
better support, he would, undoubtedly,
have done 1 etter box work. Many of
the hits of the locals might have been
cat off by a swift fielding team.
L. Clark pitohed for Albany and the
visitors foand him to be a pnzzle they
were never able to solve, securing only
fonr hits dnring the game.
At tho end of the 8th inning the game
was oalled an account of darkness.
Only abont half of the orowd remained
to the end of the game, a great many
having beeome disgusted and left.
Osborne umpired the game and gave
no cause for kicking by either team.
He always umpires satisfactorily.
Tbe following is the score of the
game:
R H E.
Albany— 5 1 2 0 8 « 0 0— 17 10 S.
Sylvester— 0100108 1— 5 4 0.
The Sylvester team returned home
last night.
