ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY DOMINATE LIFE OF BEAUTY.

The Countess Maria Nicolaievna

Kja for t:ie death of Count Kamarowsky, who adored her. The trial reveal

e(i a plot, seldom found outside of fiction. 'The Vampire", as the countess is called, came from an obscure family. She was beautiful and, when seventeen years old, she was stollen by Count Tarnowska. who married her. They had two children. One evening the countess, in the presence of her husband, kissed a young man who had been paying attentions to her. The

count shot and killed him. He was aciuitted, and secured a divorce. The countess then pinged into the vortex of unrestrained passion. She wrecked four happy families and many individuals. Maximillian Prilukoff, the richest lawyer in Moscow, spent his fortune and finally stole 60,000 rubles for her. He also deserted his family. Count Kamarowsky, a rich nobleman, begged her to marry him. She refused repeatedly, but finally consented after he promised to make his will in her favor. He also insured lm life for $250,000. Then came the plot. A young man named Naumoff was road-

for that purpose, this committee insists that no such condition exists on either the mechanical or business side of the city plant. We find no lack of adequate knowledge by the proper city officers of its physical and financial condition. The plant is under the same non-partisan business management that it was eighteen months ago. when it was thoroughly overhauled and investigated by the joint committee of twelve business men. assisted by experts, both electrical and financial. That committee was composed of men opposed as well as those favorable to municipal ownership. It made a most tnorough examination into the cost and needs of the plant, tne kind and condition of the machinery, the man'un- of keeping the accounts: their accuracy, not only as to footings, but also as to proper division of disbursements, and the general condition of the plant a a business investment. The committee made a unanimous report in which they found that the plant proper was in good condition; that the books and accounts were correct and iu good conditiou; that the

Tarnowski, is now being tried in Rusand to the individual citizens. The boiler explosion was an incident liable to happen to any power plant, and m Ihis was covered by the $20,000 of boiler insurance carried on the plant, this incident cannot justify any real public distrust, nor furnish any real

excuse for such a "campaign of ed- ened a wepk's engagement. The proucation" as is nronosPd h tbnBP who duction had a trimming of comedy

have an ax to grind. Your committee finds from personal investigation and from reports of day, than it was when vindicated by the former committee The plant made a net profit last 'er over expenses, repairs and interremained over $15,500 of net profit; but if the accounts were properly kept, as they were, there would be, and was, a net profit as above stated of $29,000 for the year. From this, however, should be deducted $10,000 for depreciation, leaving $19,000 in round numbers as the net profit of the plant enough to pay S3 per cent, of the street lighting account. The profits for the past eleven months of this year over expenses, repairs and interest were $23,525.19. Of this amount $22,931.15 was paid as the balance of purchase money on the new unit; and there was paid on the building and equipment account for the same period $11,342.75 showing an annarent deficit for this neriod of $10,74S.71, the difference between the total receipts and the total disbursements. This simply means that the profits of the plant lacked that amount of paying the balance of about $23,000 due on the new unit, after all deduction is made for both the expense and building and equipment accounts. In conclusion, your committee cannot refrain from expressing their distrust of this proposition and the motives that seem to have inspired it. ing cannot honestly be made from the , . ... . facts, will not deter those whose own investment is in jeopardy, from mak-

opposed to the city becoming a party

to any such a prograu. The city records are public property, and if the Light. Heat & Power comDanv as a taxpayer, wants the truth and not a hubbub, it can investigate the reports of the city control- ( lers office, examine all bills and vou-' chers showing disbursments, and make public through an over-friendly press any facts and file any charges ;tbat such facts shall warrant. Hut when everything is prosperous, and ! everybody is satisfied with the city j plant except those whose interests are ! avowedly antagonistic and their straw ; stockholders and hired agents; when nobody has filed any charges, and no reputable person dare do so, it would appear to be the height of folly for the city to join in such a crusade the whole purpose of which is to c reate . discord among our people, to depreciate our plant, and while the confusion is at the highest, to get possession of our property at the lowest possible price. If these gentlemen "must have the city plant" as they cay, let them try to buy it in an o:en an honorable way. Let mem recognize uie vam of the franchise and add to that the cost of the plant, and offer such sum to the city. Then it is up to the voters to say whether or not it shall be sold. Hut in the name of common sense, common fairness and common decency, let us accept no more invitations to join in a "bear" attack upon our own property, or to make an assignment of our intelligence and business capacity for the benefit of our competitors.
