CHICAGO SUED.
Gas Companies Claim s17O,OOO-Re-
suit of Fight Made By the City
Gas Trust

suit of Fight Made By the City
on the Gas Trust.
Chicago, Aug. 7.-Suits aggregating S7O,-
600 are begun against the city of Chicago
in the circuit court by the companies as
follows: Peoples Gas Light and Coke
&C mpany, $4,000; Hyde Park Gas company,
s25. 900: Lake Gas company S., 900; Subur-
ban Gas company. $4,000 The plaintiffs
claims are for gas furnished the .ity hall
and street lamps. The last appropria tons
for gas service was not sufficient to meet
the bills, and the city has no funds now
on hand to pay the claims.
The suits will be contested as it is
claimed the companies formed a trust and
the city is not obliged TO pay The filing
OF the suits is the direct consequence Of
gas trust last spring It was then that
the council passed an order prohibiting
the comptroller from paying any of the
back bills of 1893 from the gas app-o-
priation of 1894. In 1886 a. perpetual in
Junction was out restraining the comp
troller from applying the appropriations
of one year to the bills of hose previous
This INDUCTION was, however, disregarded
ard when, early in 1894, the gas COM
panies presented their bill for the last
quarter of 1898, amounting to some $780,
not to pay the bill until the matter had
been thoroughly investigated. This put
the administration on the two horns of a
dilemma. 1t could not violate the orders
of the council and the gas companies
threatened either to cut off the supply or
to refuse to. continue the 312 per cent
Of their receipts to the city, called for in
their franchise: However, the aldermen
claimed that the 31a per cent. was all a
bluff. They claimed that instead of being
paid into the general fund 1t was applied
on the bills for gas. which were always
enough in excess Of appropriations not
only to eat up the bonus, but to leave a
large amount to the wrong side of the
public ledger. in substantiation of this
claim statement from the comptroller s
books was made. 1t showed that in the
five years from 1889 to 1898, inclusive, the
three and a half per cent bonus amount
ed to S409,05S During that period the city
appropriated s2029. S20.21 and expended the
sum of s2,676,9S1,54, while all .appropria-
items and receipts amount to but $2,0S4-
$3.50, with the bonus added. This made
en- excess of 1892 1886. SO. of which the CITY
owed the amount of $4,000. Corporation
counsel held that the city, in reality got
nc benefit from the Sla per cent. bonus
and the council refused furth ar payment Of
back bills in conclusion. The suits will
have additional interest, for on the out
come will be settled the question at issue
between the council and the trust.

AS he dressed the tremblin' pris'n ep in a

Why he painted him all over in a hue O.

An he smeared his reputation with the
thickest kind o. CRIME,
Tell l found myself a wondr1n' in a
misty way and dim,
How the Lord had come to fashion SIGH
an awful man as him.
Then the other lawyer started, an with
Drimmin' fearful eyes,
Said his client was a martyr that was
brought to sacrifice;
An he gave to that same pris'ner every
blessed human grace,
Tell l saw the light O. virtue fairly shin
in from his face.
Then I own at I was puzzled how SIGH

The Barons Rothschild have once

the immediate neighborhood of Vienna

there that the emperors eldest brother,
Charles Louis, has established his sum-

time, and consequently not only num-
Der of other archdukes and archduch-

aristocracy have established themselves
in the neighborhood.
OF course, fat Baron "Natty'' Roths-
child was bound to be in the swim, and
built a superb chateau, the grounds of
which adjoin those of the emperors
brother For some reason a dispute
arose between the two neighbors about
some flowers, which resulted in each of
them issuing orders that the other was

$50 uncomfortable that the banker deter
mined on leaving the place.
With the object of doing this with as
much eclat as possible, and at the same
time rendering himself as unpleasant
las possible to his imperial neighbor, he
made an offer last year to form a hos
lpital for consslnptives of the chateau;
and, to make the offer still more point
ed, he selected just that particular char
liable institution of which the archduke
was president to carry out his scheme,
OF course, a tremendous row ensued,
and the proffer was declined by the
,archduke, who did not relish the idea
of having a. consumptives' hospital so
near his summer home and who in
Cured much popular odium for prefer

Nothing daunted. the baron has now
presented the chateau and estate, val

has awakened much enthusiasm in sail-

expressed in the army and in the press
that the archduke Will place no further
impeachment in the way of the generous

San Francisco, Aug. Ethel Leroy.
a dissolute woman, was murdered in
a shocking manner this afternoon in
a lodging house on O'Farrell street.
After a desperate struggle with
Frank Larrabee, whose mistress she
had been. he overpowered her and with
a razor cut her throat.
In the terrible struggle the woman's
cheeks. neck and breast were fright
fully slashed. Pushing the dying wo-
man from him, Larrabee then drew
the razor across his own throat in an
attempt to end his own life. The wo-
man very soon bled to death, but Lar
rabee will live. The murder resulted
from the womans threat to leave
him.
Larrabee is an electrician, who came
here from Chicago at the beginning Of
