Springs Aggregation Complete Ar
rangement of Program.
A large meeting of colored citizens
to arrange for the celebration of eman-
cipation day, June 10, was held in the
colored Odd Fellows hall on North
Centre street last night. The San
Pedro Springs. aggregation and The
Riverside park crowd met together
for the purpose of effecting compro-
mise and making it a union affair, but
but both sides held out, each contend
ing that theirs was the place and no
reconciliation was affected and il is
very likely that they will celebrate as
at first scheduled-in two different
places. They will hold another meet
ing tonight, however, at which anoth-
er attempt at compromising will be
made.
At last nights meeting the Springs
faction adopted their. program and or
dered it printed. 1t will be ready for
distribution over the city tomorrow.
They will form on Milan square at 8
o'clock on the morning of June 19,and
march up Commerce street to Alamo,
north over Alamo to Houston and
west over Houston to Soledad where
cars will be taken to their destination.
The Excelsior guards will take part
in the parade. Upon arrival at the
Springs a salute will be fired by the
U. S. artillery, after which the Eman-
cipation proclamation will be read by
Gus johnson, Jr. He will be follow

MINORS OPINION.
San Antonio, May 25th, 1S9

San Antonio, May 25th, 1896.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of San Antonio:
Gentlemen: The proposed settlement
between the city and the San Antonio
by the finance and assessment COM
mittees, involving as it does matters
Street Railway company recommended
in litigation and said suits being in my
duty to inform your Honorable body
that the settlement recommended is
contrary to my advice.
1 believe that the claims Of the Street
Railway company against the city are
not valid. The contention that the
is equitably entitled to payment of
said claims is in my judgment with
out foundation, as they would not be
recognized in a court Of law or equity.
1 believe that the sums that the Street
Car company claim were wrongfully
extorted from it by Mr.. Callaghan,
were in fact rightfully required of said

A PREACHER POUNDED.

Rev. VIM. Smith, pastor Of the South
blackberry Street NJ. E. church, receiv-
ed such vigorous pounding from the
members of his congregation and Sun
day school last night that he will very
likely not recover for some time to
come-that is from the surprise he re-
ceived. The members took him by sur
prise at s o'clock and rushed in on
himself and wife, taking complete po-
session of his dining room table and
loading it down with delicacies until
1t could hold no more. The good pas
tor, after somewhat recovering from
his surprise, thanked them all for their
remembrance and then turned over
the house to the young folks who pro-
ceeded to enjoy royal good time for
an hour or so, when all departed
homeward, leaving the pastor and wife
to store away the good things they
had received.

SEWER WORK.

Sewers are being laid on Dawson
street. They are completed on North
Centre street to the Sunset track and
the trenches were opened on East
Commerce as far as the track this
morning. They are about finished on
Losoya street and the trenches are
being closed in. On Alamo plaza and
part Of Commerce street the mesquite
blocks are being replaced where they
were torn up, the trenches having all
been filled in. Avenue d and E are
torn up at the north end yet by the
sewers, but are filled in the lower end
near the plaza. The steam roller has
rolled, Avenue d down after the COM
pletion of the sewers near the post
office and as far up as Fifth street.

CITY TOPICS.
HOW THE CITY SETTLED WITH
THE STREET RAILWAY CO.

Among the transactions of the late
business mems city council the settle
ment made with the San Antonio
Street Railway company is one of the
most remarkable because of the siren
uous opposition of the city attorney;
for the reason that the action of the
council was had seventeen days after
the whole business had been carried
out by the mayor, On the Sth of May,
go, the following letter was addressed
to Mr.. w. II. Weiss:

company and that no sort of reason
exists for .refunding this money.
Again the city's demand against the
San Antonio Street Railway company
is good and valid liquidated demand
against said company and can and
will be enforced. The contention that
portions of said taxes (the 81 tax and
the tax levied for interest and sinking
fund.- are invalid, is in my opinion,
without foundation and there is good
reason to believe that the city will pre-
vail on these disputed questions.
1 would also call your attention to
the fact that claims such as those of
the Street Railway company, if valid,
cannot lawfully be paid out of the gen.
eral fund, nor can they be offset
against, or deducted from the taxes
due from the taxpayer those taxes be-
ing collected only in money. Respect

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf

Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-

stay in the county Jail until the

maintains his innocence, and Mrs.
Frayer-who is now in Stillw q ter

Neither had he shown any griei
