1TY COUNCIL MET .TRANSACTED IMPORTANT BUSINESS MATTERS YESTERDAY APTBRNOON. w, recked Bill ft Wood Eiglie to be Sell Beck to Pectorjr Per Repairs tod Used it Ike Old Station—Contract For Building tad Equipping New Station. m IL m <k 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 the carrying ont of tho oontraot the sum of 10,500. Mo other imixirtaut basilicas was transacted. TIioumhiiiIh Kent Into iCstle.

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.

Drug Oo., Sal e-Davis | 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. GIRL HAD ELOPED And Her Supposed Murderers Were In s West Virginia Jail. Benwood, W.
