The Peoples Gas Company.

The Peoples Gas company, through
their attorney, Oscar Bergstrom, Esq,
will present a communication to the
city council to-day, setting forth the
Objectionable features Of the ordinance
passed by that body giving the rlght-Of-
way to the company, and asking re-
consideration on the part Of the council.
The bond and cash deposit features Of
the ordinance are SO worded as TO place
the company much at the disposal ofthe
individual within OF the mayor, who,
might possibly be, a year hence the presi-
dent of the old gas company. These
clauses should be changed, not only as
matter Of justice to the new company,
but for the credit OF the council
itself. As 1t Is, the council occupy
the attitude OF hostility to a
new enterprise that promises good
results for the benefit Of the people.
The capital to put the Water-Gas COM
pany in active operation is already
enlisted without drawing upon our local
capitalists for q cent, but much depends
upon the action Of the city council. We
are authorized to say that unless the
action of the city council should amount
to positive prohibition the Wster-Gas
company will go to work in very few
weeks, as they have an apparatus, now
building, which VIII be put In position
to dem onstrate the practicability Of the
enterprise.

Repeating the Dose.
ON the Alamoner, May q.

From the Alamoner, May %.
THE ALAMONER's remarks on the pro-
ceedings of the city council in its treatment
of the Water Gas Charter were not made
without due consideration. The ALAMoNER
is not Ignorant OF the true inwardness of that
transaction, nor of the demonstrated value of
the patent possessed by the company. The
facts only need to be known to show the fai-
sity of the body of charges made against the
men whose only crime is that they have en-
deavOred 10 increase the volume of light pro-
vided by the city, at less than half the pres
ent cost. The agent of the water gas patent
came to this city in the interests of that COM
pany. He saw A. w. Clifford, of this city, and
others, and endeavOred to interest them i'm
the matter. Mr.. Clifford was willing to give
time TO the work, but not to connect himself
with the scheme as his time was fully OccU-
pied. The patent was offered to the old gas
company and TO some % other partiessbefore
the present company consented to take hold
of the matter. 1t was undertaken by them
solely because they were unwilling 10 let the
opportunity pass of providing 50 economi-
caliy for the lighting of the city. Ii was not
a speculative enterprise. All the rights dis
posed of by the patentee preclude any such
use of the patent From a positive knowledge
of the practicabllity of furnishing gas for
light and fuel at one-half the present cost,
still leaving sufficient margin for reason
dDlt pIbiJS VII lllt llOlleN lllNeSIeO, tle COM
pany purchased the right to manufacture
and use in San Antonio; and as guarantee
Of their good faith proposed to bind them
selves to furnish gas at certain fixed rates,
less than 80 per cent of those now charged.
If the capitalists of San Antonio think this
IS speculation, why did they not take ii up?
The opportunity was theirs. The same is
true Of the old gas company. There is no
question of the facts. The company Is bona
fide one. The company has capital; capital
enough to buy out the old company, put in
the new plant and have money left for other
city improvements. The gentleman associa-
ted with Messrs. Clifford and NewcOmb i'm
this matter Is capitalist who has been
brought 10 San Antonio by Mr.. Gifford's eff
forts on behalf Of the city The cry of black
mail raised byinterested parties in the coun-
ell, is a contemplate one. The only black
mail attempted has been by the old gas COM
pany, whose letters Of Intimidation and
threats of suits at law are too transparent to
deceive anyone. The council, that is a major
ity Of them, have deliberately throttled the
enterprise that seeks 10 give the city a yalu-
able plant. They have done il at the instiga-
ton of one of their own number, in the inter-
ests Of the old company, and for so doing
will have to reckon with the taxpayers OF
this city.

A Supposed Burglar Caught u

Mr.. Billhartz, who keeps saloon and
grocery at 1910 West Commerce street,
was aroused last night from his quiet
slumbers by terrific noise in his house
about the hour OF midnight. He bounced

six in one hand and a club in the other,
began search for what he supposed to be
a burglar. Imagine his surprise when

In connection with and previous to

Swiss Picnic.

The Swiss Helvetia verein held their
picnic yesterday upon the banks OF the
well-shaded SaladO, arriving in large
four-hOrse wagon about 10 o'clock. Flags
were flying and the party singing and
soon the grove was prepared for the
days frolic, and with fishing tackle and
boats, music and fair women the day
passed of delightfully."-. One OF the feat
ures Of the day which did not serve one
OF their number a very good turn, al
though it was quite mirth-provoking,
was the upsetting OF boat in the
Salado, which contained the flag
bearer, Mr.. G. Hoessler, who with
Swiss battleflag, started forth on the
"brimy deep" TO claim all the undisOov-
cred land in the name Of the Swiss ma
tiOn, and as he came upon the shining
back OF huge mud turtle basking in the
sun, he exclaimed, as in the act of plant
ing the flag upon this undiscovered
"land." "HOcus, pOcus, inspiratus."
The turtle gave a sudden lunge and
went to the bottom, and flag staff,
HOessler, white linen suit and ali
plunged In after him, much to the dis
comfort of the man managing the boat
and the chagrin of MIR. Hoessler, who
was compelled, after being fished out, to
retire a couple of miles up the creek and
play Indian while his clothes were dry
ing in the bushes.

A Picnic and Wagon Upset.

Quite an interesting picnic was held
at the head of the river yesterday, near
the Olmos. While the party were on the
way to the grounds an unfortunate acct
dent occurred. AS the vehicles were
going up a steep hill the harness Of the
ambulance broke and the carriage ran
down hill backwards and upset In the
edge of the river, In which was Mrs.
Hernandez, Mrs. Wefing and two gen.
tlemen, throwing the occupants out and
falling across the two ladies. All the
parties In the ambulance were severely
bruised and had miraculous escape
from being drowned. The acct
dent threw quite damper up
on the spirits and enjoyment
of the whole gathering. Among
the persons present were: Sophie
