ADJUSTMENTS

The Leslie Davis Sea of Ice Co. appear
~ the Grand tonight. The Evansville.
Indiana Journal speaks the following:
The Sea of Ice received an ovation at
the Peoples last night. Long before Il e
curtain rose every seat was filled and
very little standing room could be OBJ
tanned. The company being a prime
favorite in Evansville, the audience was
one of the finest and most critical that
has ever assembled to witness a preSen-
tatiOn in this city and from the increas-
ing bursts OF applause this can idly eX-
press the evident satisfaction the per-
Torrance gave. The scenic effects were
very pretty and the rays Of the double
calcium light from the gallery displayed
in the most magnificent manner. The
prismatic fountain was as pretty an effect
as ever put upon the stage. Tt ere was
some trouble in getting the waste water
carried off and caused somewhat of de
lay, but nevertheless it received a. great
deal of favorable commendatOn.
Mr.. E. NJ. Crane as "CarloS" and Cbas
f. Eldridge as "BarabaS" demonstrated
careful training and are splendid actors,
the Interpretation of these parts, in fact
those of the entire company, was SPLEEN
didly received.
The Elmore children, aged respectively
four and five years, were introduced in
the first act in singing and dancing
specialtieS, which were accepted in such
manner as to warrant saying they are the
sweetest and clevereSt upon the stage.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.
WEST END Dec 1E

WEST END, Dec. 10, 1881.
When our extra session meets at Aus
tin, one OF its acts will become beneficial
to San Antonio The rate OF interest
from s 10 6 per cent will be clear gain of
9 per cent ia our favor. The city now
pays 8 per cent on borrowed money
to Mr.. Breckenridge for the current
expenses Of the municipal government.
Yesterday convinced US that the city
council should thave upheld Alderman
Lockwood to get BLACK Maria" A
sight at Soledad street was extremely
disgusting. Mr.. Lockwood succeeded
after opposition to get the IS hours labor
per day, cut down to twelve: IL was a
meritoriOnS move; we believe he will yet
succeed in the other.
Last night natures own lamp shown
brightly for all: before then, our electric

the one on Lake avenue, near Genl.

alderman reads this it will enable him to

company dock their bill for lights that
often do not burn at all, and sometimes

Recent events in BeXar County will

Texas but in some new one Of the present
generation. That 5.OOO strong Indignation
meeting of one week ago. that gathered
quietly, only to express their Indignation
and then retired to their homes, except a
portion that with the eXfrempn's band

| have been nearly 6 months at West
End and last night was the first time that
any one could have chance to find fault
with a conductor or mOtOrman of our
electric railway. This abundantly proves
the popularity of the road and does not
prove that the officers of the line still
know of any fault, for they may not. The
mistake, If mistake it was, was only an
error in Obliging patrons on 10th street
with Lake car. The car that persons
runs along the lake, the one at
every hour runs straight; last night two
were run in succession. one way and the
third only began the regular routes again.
None of the officials of the road were on
the car that was perverted from its regu-
lar course. causing the Lake car paSsen-
gers longer trip through mud than bar
gained for.
What other line in San Antonio can run
six weeks without flaw; ours runs six
months before the slightest one appears
and years before it ever shows an error.
People may lose greatness, just now our
lakes increase theirs. ).

What the People are Saying

INC ICObNc NEo NayN"&
Were it not that the people have
become accustomed to the extrava-
gancs and waste of the present city
administration. there would be some
alarm telt over that growing monstro-
city the new paid fire department.
At every meeting of the council
there is some new demand; more
engines nee ded; more engine horses;
more men to help the city electrician
hold down an expensive and faulty
fire alarm system.
Even the discarded chemical en-
CINE experiment Is talked of. Fires
occur and the houses burn down-but
the real estate is saved.

Handy Alderman Gregory has add
ed another laurel to his alabaster
brow by introducing resolution In.

Inc the city records.
=
The last amendment to the city

The people don't have to ask Mr..
Gregory or any one else for the priv
ilege of looking at the books; 1t Is
part of the city charter; yet Gregory,
ike his brother aldermen. seldom
looks at the charter, and no doubs he
though he was extending courtesy
to the publlc-pitching them chunk
of taffy.
What q picnic the people would
have looking at the city books!
Bruni, the market master, is reported
as having opened a bran new set
since the Fashion theatre fire. But
Gregory wants US to look at them.
So we will put on our glasses.
We see one item: Mayors contin-
gency fund; Now Mr.. Gregory, as
chairman of the fiuance committee,
we would like to ask you what be-
comes of IL? 1t is no part of the
mayors salary. 1t it also misap-
plied?.
And now we pass our magnifying
glass over the city council records and
make q discovery that perhaps better
be reserved for the attention of the
next grand jury.
