For a number of years Mrs. Caine had been a semi-invalid and unable to take much active part in social life.

Deprived of much that she would have enjoyed had her health been more robust, she yet retained through all her physical weakness a sweet and uncomplaining disposition. Five weeks ago her health became much worse and she suffered repeated attacks of heart trouble, but was not considered in any immediate danger.

She sat up in her chair most of the time and could move about the room, but not able to leave the house. Wednesday she seemed better and was quite comfortable until a few minutes before six, when she had an attack of heart weakness, and expired in about a quarter of an hour.

ALL MEMBERS SATISFIED EIGHT-YEAR CONTRACT, 40-YEAR FRANCHISES, $75 LIGHTS, EXTENSIONS. After nearly four years of war. the city and the traction-electric interests arrived, on Monday evening, at, a settlement satisfactory to both parties. A struggle in the Courts ha been averted, and friendly relations between the municipality and the public service corporations have been established.

The settlement followed the submission, by the companies, of a proposition so unexpectedly fair that every member present voted in favor of its acceptance. Evidently the companies, like the city, had become tired of war. Briefly, the terni3 of settlement are these: The New Castle Electric Company gets an eight-year contract at $75 per light for 200 lights and $70 per year for subsequent lights installed within five years; lights installed after five years to be paid for at $75 per light. The company to waive, at the end of eight years, claim to exclusive right to sell light in New Castle. The company Immediately to instal enclosed arc lights.

The company to furnish light, to a specified amount, to City Hall, the patrol building and fire departments, free of charge. The eight-year contract to begin on December 1, 1901. The city to pay the New Castle Electric Company $3,000 for light furnished in the Seventh ward to March 1, 1904, and $.10,000 for light furnished In other wards to the same date. From this amount there shall be decucted, when paid, the amount of $2,812.50 from the Seventh ward light bill. The New Castle Electric Street Railway Company to' build the Pittsburg and West Washington street extensions under 40-year franchises, and to begin work on the same within 60 days of the ratification of the agreement.

The company to pay the city $4,000 in discharge, of its claim for street cleaning. The city to keep, for 13 months, an accurate record of the cost of street cleaning on streets on which the company operates cars, the company to pay 36 per cent of the same; and the average for the thirteen months to be. come a basis for the fixing of the amount thereafter to be paid by the company, unless agreement should be mutually agreed to. The companies to place their wires in the city conduits within three years on terms mutually agreed upon, or, failing agreement, to be fixed by arbitration. The New Castle Electric Company to make no increase in the rates for commercial lighting during the contract period.

The corporation's proposition fixed the price of arc lights at $75 per year for the first 225 lights, but Messrs. Mc- Vey and Akens assented to the terms above named, instead, at the instance of Councilman Fenton, Sixth ward. Mr. Dean, while avowing his distaste for 40-year franchises, expressed himself a3 satisfied with the terms of settlement in the main.
