Cent Gas Ordinance.

Chicago May Enforce Seventy five
Cent Gas Ordinance.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-Judge Peter S.
Grosscup in the United states circuit
court yesterday dismissed The amended
bill of the Peoples Gas .ignt and Coke
Company asking for an injunction
against the city Of Chicago restraining
ii from enforcing the 1o-cent gas ordi :
nance on the ground of want of j,tiis-
diction. y demurrer TO the amended
bill was sustained and an appeal by the
company allowed to the United States
supreme court in bonds OF 100000. The
court considered the jurisdiction ques-
ton and cited a decision in a similar
case in Detroit. The appeal of this case
to the supreme court marks the most
important step in long and bitter
technical battle by the city of Chicago
against the Peoples company to secure
cheap gas on an ordinance regulating
the price of gas at IS cents q thousand
feet. The company now charges 81 and
claim the right under it's charter to in
crease the price.

Narrow Escapes From Death

Los Alamos Aug. 1.-Altho no more
experienced here since 1880 last night
the people are all panic stricken. Many
of those who have not already fled from
their homes are prepared to leave in
case the seismic disturbances continue.
The damage already done is Narlously
estimated at from $4,000 TO $4,000. 1t

most of the buildings been built of
wood Several narrow escapes from
death are reported. Parties from Lom-
poe and outlying districts have reached
Los Alamos with stories of havoc in
the hills. Great landslides occurred,
carrying down hundreds of tons of
earth and burying the roads many feet
deep. The oil wells around Los Alamos
seem to have suffered considerable
damage.

he advised the residents to quit Los

also suggested that doors in all the
houses in the affected district be left
open so that those inside could escape
when danger threatened. His advice
was at once acted upon.
