THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESfiAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1872 'GAS QUESTION, *ry of the National and Batual Companies, sent Mysterious Maneu- 'ing in the Council. ‘uetter to Mr. Cobb jrought to Light. *~, 'That Very Much Re- sembles Black-Mails story of the gas companies which sup- consumers of gas in this city with need- at, could it be written from the silent _sof those who were interested in it, uld disclose a volume of trickery and sharp practice for which no local institation could fur- nish & parallel. The wire-pulling and manceuver- ing which have been resorted to in order to place the gas companies in their present posi- tions toward one another, and toward the.pub- lic ; the struggle o gain possession ; the schemes to maké money, must render the name of car- buretter hydrogen 8s offensive to the moral nostrils of the people as the subtle substanca it- self is to our olfactory nerves. The subjoined sketch is notintended to include such & his- tory, but rather to call public aiten- tion to ‘the mysterions ncting of cer- tsin gentlemen, members of the Council, whe have hitherto borne a character for the strictest integrity, and whose individual upright- ness has never before been called in question; and tolet the people lkmow what schemes are being parpétrated by those who bave been elect- ed to rcpresent them in the City Government. O£ th3 war between the People's Gas and Coke Company, on the West Side, and the other com- ‘pany, which was supplying the city on the Sonth Bide, we suppose our citizens need no reminder. Tt may be summed up briefly in the opening words of this article. About a year and & half ago, three companies were Organized in this city, having for their pro- fessed object the furnishing of gas at cheaper rates than are now supplied by the South and ‘West Side compsnies. These companied ob- tained & charter, and were known, severally, as the Mutnal, National, and Mereantile Companies, with the names of several ‘well-known citizens, as stockholders. - They claimed to have a desire to obiain cheap ges in the city; to compete with the companies st present en- josing a monopoly, and to be perfectly just and upright in their dealings. The spplications of these companies for permission to lay their pipes in the city were brought before the Com- mon Council, and referred to the Committee on Gaslights of that body. The Committee con- sisted of some of tho best Aldermen in the Cotneil, among them Aldermen McGenniss and Battham. After long and tedious sessions, at which the Mayor and Corporation Counsel wers sttendants, the Committes drafted an ordinance whice covered the whole ground. It was worded with scrupnlons care, and provided, to speak Eanerflly, that if ‘the companies Tere onest ~corporstions, determined to act upon the principles they _professed, every opportunity should be given them to_secure patronsge, but if the propositions were merely a snare to secure permission to lay their pipes, and thus annoy the other companies for purposes of blackmail, they would be effec- tuslly prevented from achieving any such dis- honest and unworthy end. ‘The very first sec- :ion of the ordinance thus prepared reads s fol- lows 2 SECTION L That permiscion snd authority be, and the eame arghereby, granted o the Mutual Gas-Light Company of the City of Chicagoto lay its main pipes, feeders, and cervice-pipes on any of the nvenues, streets, highways, alleye, public parks, or squares Hhronghout the Giy of Chicago, Eubject, however, to gl terms and conditions of -this ordinance ; Provided, 1. however, that whenever the 2id Company shall lay down in'any one of these Divisions of said city,—the Eouth, North, or West Divisions,—any main pipe, it shall, within &ix months thereafter, loy down an amount of main pipe in the West Division, or in either the North or South Divisions, ‘which will make the smount of pipe leid in the West Division equal in smount to the amount laid in the North and South Divisions, This report, which was worded slike for the three companies, came up before the Common Council May 20, 1871, and has been on the list of * unfinished businees" or reports lzid over, antil 8 few months ago. At that time an amendment to the ordinances was present- ed, utterly sweeping sway the protective barriers _which & wise and capsble com- mittee had thrown sround the city's interests, and giving to the three companies privileges never asked for by the most presumptuous of corporations. Itdocked the ordinance of the first section, and all other conditions and pro- visions; gave the companies the privilege of tearing up any sfreets they thought proper; Iaying their pipes in every direction, in’cellars, under sidewalks, on private property, and, in fact, patting the tax-payers entirely at the mercy of the companies, and not the tax-payers only, but the other gas companies. This amendment came before the Common Council on Mondsy evening. No mnotico had been given of its revival; three or four Aldermen only appeared to have known of its coming up; it was sprung upon the Council in s minute, and took seven of them by surprise. Those who watched the manceuvering of affairs in the days of-* the nineteen,” s the reporters present had done, were struck with the similarity of the pres- ent movement, especially 85 the opposers of tho amendment were those whose action had entitled them to the confidence of the community. They were puzzled to find somo_Aldermen in favor of the amendment, who had hitherto kept their skirts clear. ..During the debate, Ald, Mc- Genniss referred to a letter which had been written on behalf of the so-called National Gas Cotpany, to Mr. Cobb, President of the Chicago Ges, Company, offering £o withdraw all claims to lay pipe, etc., on payment by the latter of a sum of money. ‘This letter was not produced st the time, bat will be found below. Ald. Daggy expressed -his determination to sbandon the enterprise hould the assertion of Ald. McGenniss bo substantiated. Ald. Holden pledged himself to & Slmilar course. A vote upon referring the ordinance for eugrossment resulted affirmatively, the vote being: Yeas—Alds. Daggy, Stone, Schmitz, Tracy, Hickey, Cullerton, Bailey, Powell, Bond, Sweet, Sherwood, Gill, Schmidt, Stout, er, McCaflrey, O Ai—515: Dison, Goss, MsGensis, Thompson, 2 Ao, s, s0m, Mc- Avos nd Bitchamet, R To arrive at the meaning of all this, one must go back a few months tmg look at the inside working of theso compsnies. The National, with which the present article deals, especially, proposed to furnish gas at a reduced price, by a ocess claimed to have been purchased f)y the ompany, of which one Brand was the agent. This process was claimed to furnish ges from naphths, or some other preparation, and to furnith it more cheaply than any competing compeny could do; and thus reduce the rates paid by consumers. As soon os the company had been organized, Mr. Brand and others waited upon Mr. Cobb, President of the Bouth Division Gas Company, and proposed a compromise. To this proposition noanswer was mede. Soon after the fire, Mr. Brand and the same gentlemen, representing the National Gas Company, came again to Mr. Cobb and sought . aninterview. They claimed that the fire had greatly injured the stock of the Compsany; that 1t was not worth 25 cents on the dollar, and that it was in the power of the National Gas Com- pany_to close them up forever. Mr. Cobb in- quired what they wanted, ‘and how this result mae il .

Truly yours, C. C, Braxp, To this letter Mr. Cobb made reply that the comprny might do what they plossed, that they could not injure him, and 8o forth, * Bince that date he has been approached a score of times, by various persons, and called upon to coms to terms. And, strange &s it mey appear, on Mon- day afternoon, & lnst _appeal was madeto Mr. Cobb, and the other officers of the company, to come to terms. In justice to the gentlemen whose names were appended to the list of stockholders, Mr, David A. Gage and others, it must be stated that they utlerly repudiate any such action. Their desire was for cheap gas. Mr. Gags, in his capacity of ‘hotel proprietor, is vitally interested in_the gas question, and he expresses himself a8 desirous of gecuring this alone. The names of such men. are eadger!y sought for by fraudulent concerns, to gild with respectability a corporation whose compositionia in need of soma such conceal- ment. The same intention, without doubt, ac- tuated the other gentlemen whose names are to be found in the list of stockholders. The passage of-thia ordinance would doubtless be a triumph for the company, and such s tri- umph seems to be inevitable. The Aldermen who 80 summarily voted for its reference for engrossment have openly declared war. They take it for granted that the Mayor will veto if, but are confident that they can muster enough (two-thirds of all the Aldermen present,) to pass 1t over his veto. < A reEorter yesterdsy endeavored to_extract from the Mayor his views concerning the sub- ject. He eaid, in_substance, that he was much Burprised to find West Side Aldermen voting for an ordinance which gave their constituents no sdventage. The West Side Company furnished gas st nearly a dollar a thousand feet higher rates than did the South Side Company; snd West Side consumers were debarred from the advantages of competition, supposing this Com- any _was sincera in it intentions. g‘or his part he could not understand it. As the latter remark was accompanied with one of his knowing looks, it may be mfi)puaed that he does nnderstand 1t very thoroughly, and is fully prepared to make himself pretty dia- tinetly understood. The reporter inquired whether he- would veto the ordinance in its zresant shape. He replied that his oath required him to protect the inter- ests of the city, and thet no effort would be spared by him to prevent the passage of any or- dinance detrimental to the interests of the citi~ zons. Gas was first introduced into this city in the ear 1849, the original works costing £50,000. e company which owned them then was the Chicago Gas Company of to-dsy, who at that date could scarcely have expected the many fights it has been called upon to participate in during the twenty-three yeara that have passed gince that time. "The opening of the gas works Tasa grest event in the young city, and people flocked from far and near to witness the incredi- ble phenomenon of * air burning at the end of & tube.” The first consumer of gas in Chicago was Mr. I. H. Burch, and carburetted hydrogen was used Yor illuminating purposes in his bank, the Chi- cago Bank, on the corner of Lake and Clark streets, in J. Y. Scammon's old_galoon building. Marvellous are the worksof time. Everybody uses gas now-a-days, or would if the rates were not too high for or&innxy mortals to meet on pay days. Bo great is the demand for gas that people have an iden that the Chicago Gas and Coke Company is coining money. Mr. Cobb, President of the Company, annonnces that for one week he will sell his stock in the concern at par, _The old grounds, corner of Adams and Frank- lin streets, are being sold at $800 s foot, and the new works are to be built near the Bridge- port locks. The grounds have been purchased, and docks are being prepared. The work of building will commence in the spring. _——— HOMEWARD BOUND. ¥ Complimentary Entertainment Tendered NMr. John Mahony Last Evening, Previous to His Debarture To-Day for Ireland. Last evening a large number of the friends of Mr. Jobn Mahony, who has been in this country the past six years (the greater part of which time he spent in Chicago), entertained him to a splendid supper, previous to his departure to- dny for Newport, County Mayo, Ireland. Over forty persons sat down to supper, which, having ‘been done'ample justice to, several appropriate toasts were proposed. Mr. Francis McMahon, in suitable terms,-and in & most complimentary manner, asked the company to drink the health of Mr. Mahony, &nd concluded by wishing him & eafe and speedy voyage across the Atlantic. Mr. Mahony responded in s vigorous strain, and his observations elicited lond applause. Mr Joseph O'Connor, in 2 happy speech, gave the toast: “The Union of Irishmen in Ameri- ca,” which was enthusiastically received and duly honored. At the request of all present, Mr. Leland Landers took the floor, and _recited, with ac- curacy and taste, those beautifal postical pieces, ¢ Henry of Navarre,” and “The Raven.” Several other gentlemen also contributed, by speeches and recitations, to make the enter- tainment doubly entertaining, after which Mr. P. H. Tensey (late of the Galway Vindicalor, Ireland,) rose and spoke to the toast of *“ Qur Absent Friends.” In his remarks, Mr. Tansey dwelt, particularly on his connection with Mayo ‘while assistant deitor and reporter on Tie ‘elegraph),-and said that—no matter how wide- 1y :ho-might be. separated from that fine old cotinty—he would always: cherish, with an ar- dent affection, the memory of the many pleasant days he spent in it, snd_the recallection of the ‘many warm-hearted and kind friends whose ac- quaintance he contracted there. He, too, sin- cerely wished Mr. ‘Mahony a safe and speedy voyage, and he trusted that when he.mingled once again with the companions of hls earlier days, he would not forget his Chicago friends, nor omit remembering them to those they know gnadwhm they 80 often think of) in the Old an Songs then became the order of the evening. and all who could at all-sing were induced to sing, Mr, Hogan, with much taste, sang “ Oh, wonid 1 were a bird,” etc. Ar. MacMahon ren- dered in excellent style that exquisite ballad, “And doth not a mééting like this make amends?” ‘Mr. O'Connor sang Longfellow's best, viz.: “I stood on the bridge,” and also *‘She wore & wreath of roses.” Mr. Landers sang * Her bright smile haunts me still,” and #The Irish jaunting car,” Mr. Tansey sang #The Home of my -Fatherland,” *Flow on, thou shining river,” * God bless the ‘friends we love,” “I cannot sing’ the old_songs,” * The Danube Riyer,” and *Besutiful Isle of the Sea.” ‘A nurmber of other songs having been rendered, 2nd all present having spent s most sgreeable evening, the company separated at a ;pretty ad- vanced hour,—all wishing Mr. Mahony a pleasant trip over Neptune's territory.

VALUABLE CATTLE: Public Sale of Animals from the Grassmere and Belleview Herds. Lexzington, Ky., and Franklin Grove, Tl., Short Horns Under the Hammer. . The recont publicsale of short-horn cattle from the “Grassmere Herd” of William Warfield, Esg., near Lexingion, - Ey., was quite an event in short-horn circles, The Warfields, father and son, are among the veteran breeders of the country, and the announcement that a draft of nearly the entire herd would be offered under the hammer served to attract buyers from all portionsof the country, and, notwithstanding the dey was an unpropitious one, the bidding wasan- imated, and the prices realized, considering the quality of the stock offered, were satisfactory. The animals sold comprised 61 head—19 bulls and 42 females. The bulls sold for 84,060, an average of almost $214, and ranged in price all the way from 850 for s Muscatoon calf of last April, from & miscellaneously-bred cow, to £650 for London Duke 8th, calved last November, and by the Booth bull Robert Napier, out of 2 cow belonging to the celebrated London Duchess family. The forty-twofemales gold for $18,090, au average of 2312. Of these, Ella, sired by the imp. bull Exile 486, sold for 8750 ; Lucy 18th, with a young bull-calf ‘at her side, by Muecatoon, sold for £775; Duchess of Sutherland, the only one of the popu- lar family offered, sold for $1,050, and comes to Illinois, J.

The catalogue embraced all the miscellaneously~ ‘bred animals of the herd, and savein the case of one male and one femsale, from the London Duchess family, and one female of tho Duchess of Sutherland family, the offerings did nob include representatives of any of the families which have given the Grassmere herd its reputation. .

The first annual salo of short-horns from the Belleview Herd " of William Stewart, Esg., Franklin Grove, Lee County, Il was Leld oa the 14th. This is a young herd, which appears tobein tho hands of an_ enterprising breeder, and contsins many animals of rare value, a8 those in attendanco at the fall fairs will remem- ber. The catalogue consisted mainly, however, of animals of fsir avorage pedigrees, 85 it usually the case, with & fewanimals interspersed of better breeding and blood. The day proveda stormy one—a violent snow storm and high wind all the time, which prevented many buyers from attending, snd seriously interfered with the comfort of those who did attend. For this reason the entire catalogue wasnot gone through with, many of the choicest2nimals not being of- fered st all, though everything called for was brought into..the ring. The number of cattle s0ld smounted to 97 head, of both sexes and all ages, bringing $11,235, an average of something over £303. Amopng the cows embraced in the catalogue ~was Violets Fourth, a very fine imported animal from afamous fami- 1y in the 0d Country, and her bull calf, upon ‘which Mr. Stewart stipulated for one reserve bid. These animals were brought into the ring, and run up to $2,000 for the cow and"$1,005 on the calf, when they were withdrawn on Mr. Stewart’s Teserve bids of 92,500 for the one and $1,500 for thladuther. ‘The following is a list of females sold: ¥ MMollie, calved 1861, ¥, Truman, Dixon, IL......... 8135 n(?u;:\ 3d, calved 67, J.

A Large Audicnce at the Unlon Park Coogre- gotional Church Last Evening---Points of the Lecture which Most Pleased the West Biders. There was snow on the ground and frost in the airlest night, and yet there was s large au- dience at the Union Park Church to hear the lecture by Josh Billings, tonching the ways and fashions of the cockroach, etc., and to see & men who did not spell well, and was not ashamed of it. There are many bad spellers in Chicago, and they turned out last night to see their cham- pion. The lecture in question, which was listened to with exemplary attention, interrupted by much tittering, frequent laughter, and occasional frantio applanse, touched in rapid succession upon cockroaches, game cocks, kisses, angle- worms, meadow moles, etc., and approached mors closely to & comic patural history anything else, except it be Josh Billings' comic almanac,. . Had the lecturer prefaced each dis- tinet snbject with *January,” * February,” ete., the-resemblance would have been perfect, and the andience would have at once known' what they were listening to. % Many of the sayings of the lectwlor would havo beén much better reccived or appreciated if they had been presented in their usuai garb of bad spelling. Most people take in the humor of these things by the eye, and not at all by the ear.” Many an individual has eat_through Po- cahontas and never seen a joke; if allowed to read the play he would seo's hundred. Those observations which were the best often passed utterly unnoticed,—there wasno time to work them out. A lecture of this sort, covering Eo many points, affords one sa apportusity of learning something_about an audience, by noticing what they most' fervently spplaud. Four things were especially cheered, and with those four things the people present must have been fa~ miliar,—all references to fleas, references to in- sects -which do infect the head, references fo kissing, and references to paper collars, Itis, therefore, to be' assumed that these things do chiefly abound in the West Division. ‘While the lecture last night was very smusing and all that, and plensed the citizens of the ‘West Side unmense!{‘,“ud added greatly to the popularity of the lecturer, yet all that is fleeting, —all bound to fade. Soon after this lecture has been delivered all over the country,—50 cents admission,—the comic almanac will appear. Those who heard the lecturer will buy it,~and they will find it is chiefly made ap of old lec- tures, and will become as irritated at Mr. Bil- ings as they would at a conductor who succeeda In collecting two fares for the seme jourpey. This will be 2 pecuniary success on the part of 1. Billings, but it will not_incresse greatly tho stock of happiness in the United States, for ev- erinne will be swearing he has been cheated. ast night, however, everything was lovely. The managers of the course were satisfied with the receipts, the lecturer with his reception, and the audience with what they heard, for while there were notmany things which greatly pleased all, yet there was something which pleased each, for “such lecture is liko & dinner made up of scraps and fragments, and bones with a Little meat on them, where each guest can find some- thing which suits his {gate.
