A new phase of the gas question in this District has been introduced by the recent incorporation of anew gas company, and their clatm that the Comraisstoners of the District have the authority to grant them permission to lay mains and pipes In the streets without a special act of Congress, This company styles itself The United Tuminat- ing and Fuel Gas Company, and in order to as- certain what its objects were a reporter of Tis Sta called upon Mr. Wm. Dickson, whose name appears with Albert W. Fletcher, of Philadelphia; Henry E. Lane, of Baltimore, and Charles H. Par- sons and Jota N. Oliver, of this city, as the trus- tees of the new company. In response to a question Mr. Dickson sald: “This 1s the same company that applied to Con- ress during the last session for a charter. Since Songress adjourned we have been examining the law as to the powers of the District Commtsston- ers relative to the control of the streets, and, after advice from competent counsel, we have reached the conclusion that the Commissioners have the power to grant us permission to lay mains and ptpes tn the streets. We went before the Commis- sloners and informed them that we intendea to make such an application and what we proposed to do.” “What do you propose todo?” asked the re- porter, PAEWe propose, In the first place,” was the reply, “to manufacture a better gasthan is at present furnished, and at much lower rates. Our S, as we explained to the;Commissioners, will enable us to do this.” “What 1s your p:0 ves?” interrupted the listener, “It 1s what is known as the Lowe process. I don’t know as I can explain {t to you scientifically, but anthracite ¢o al 1s. used and naptha 1s Intro— duced as an illuminating material. {tis im use in twenty-three cities, mostly In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and it is also employed 1n St. Louts and in Baltimore. By this process the cost 9 f pro- duction 16 greatly reduced. We told the Commis- ‘sloners that we meant business, and that we were authorized to place a guarantee of $250,000 In U. 8. bonds that we would not only furnish a cheaper gas, but would continue to do so and not be bought ‘up.” “Did you name any price at which you would furnish gas?” continued the reporter. “Yes; we said that we could rurnish gas at $1.25 per thousand feet, We further sald that we would only run mains through the principal streets and supply the side streets by small pipes run under the sidewalks.” “What response did the Commisstoners make to your application?” asked the reporter. “They #ald that the question as to thelr powers in the premises was one that had not been con- sidered by them and they could not say What was the legal status. ‘They intimated that It would be referred to their attorney. We invited them to go to Baltimore and examine our process of manufacturing gas, and I think that Capt. Greene will go over next week.” “You ani your associates must have a lange capital to be able to offer such a guarantee?” sug- gested the reporter. “Oh, we are only trustees and representatives ot moneyed interests, and are.stinply acting as their agents, Some one must start this thing, and We are doing that and these interests are backing eons “For Instance,” he continued, “Mr, Fletcher represents large ‘interests in Philadelphia, and 18 acting for the proprietors of the Lowe process. Mr. Loane, of Baltimore,is a practleal gas man. He built the Canton works in Balumore, and 1s engaged In business there. Mr. Parsons was. for- merly deputy comiisstoner of “inzeraal revenue, and is the represen’ atlve of certain Interests. Mr. Oliver drew up legal papers and ald other work, hence its connection, I represent certain In- terests. We were fully authorized to offer this guarantee, and will make 1t good wien the time comes.” WHAT I8 SAID AT THE GAS OPFICP. With these sangutme words ringing in his ears, the reporter turned his steps towards the office of the gas company, and finding Mr. Bartol, the President, in his office, asked his opinion of this hew.enterprise, Se looked up at the questioner wif a smile and sald. “My dear sir, I don't know any thing about it, not a single thing.” “But one of these gentlemen fs sald to be from Philadelphia?” persisted the questioner. “I never heard of him before,” was the respons, “But,” urged the visitor, “they are represented as having started compantes in other cities.” “I have never heard of them,” protested Mr. Bartol. Mr. Bartol had nothing to say of the new com- Pawy or its prospects, but remarked,as he returned to IMs desk, “Young man if you wish to live happy and die in peace don’t have auytning to do with gas companies. The public will regard you asia wonster. Now, in Philadelphia where I ive I have some reputation andstanding. But now and then a friend of mine gets hold of a Washington Raper, and he says to mo, ‘Why how is this? What'are you doing down there in Washington, connected with a swindling concerat’ So you seé I gain a new kind of reputation.” COMMISSIONER EDMONDS’ OPINION. Leaving the gas office and the president absorbed in this melancholy train of reflection, the reporter Went in search of further information. Meeting Commissioner Edmonds, he was asked if an appll- cation for permission to lay gas mains had been made by the new company. He replied, “An ap- Plication has been made to us by a company for permission to lay gas pipes in the Distric.. They Say that they will guarantee not to tear up the streets very much, and that every other street would answer thelr purpose. They further say that they will furnish a better gas than we get at Present and at $1.50 per thousand feet, and they offer to give any reasonable guarantee that they will continue to do s0.” “What was the response of the Commissioners?” asked the reporter. “We told them that we had not acted on the ap- plication cf the present company to lay new pipes, and that we had not heard what the gas company intended to do in regard to our suggestion as to the reduction of the price of gas. He said that we ‘Were opposed to two gas companies if one would furnish gas at reasonable rates. They were further told that a new gas company would be expected to place their maximum price at the minimum rate now proposed for te present gas company, which 1s $1.50, thus placing the rate forthe new com- pany at $1.25.” ae did they say to that?” asked the re- Tr. Pertuey have that under constderation. Of course the question as to whether the Comiisstoners have the power to grant such an application has not yet been considered, and I am not prepared to express an opinion on that point, ‘This company, however, make @ very falr proposition. They offer to place @ sum of money in United States bonds with the Commissioners as a guarantee that they will do what they promise.” “Is the present gas company coing to comply with your Suggestion as to rates?” continued the Teporter. “I have not heard from them,” was the response. “I am surprised that Mr. Bartol should take so much time for deliberation. The position 1s a very plain one. Isatd to him that I thought the company was making too great a profit at the Present rates, and a-xed If that supposition was incorrect, tobe convinced from the books of the company. He refused to do this, and thereby left the inference that my supposition was correct.” “This case,” continued Mr. Elmonds, “is some- what similar to that ofthe telephone company when I assumed the management. ‘The citizens were complaining that the charges were too high and that the company was making immense prof- its. A great meeting was held, and fecling ran high. T said to the committee ‘of citizens, ‘You think that we are making a great deal of money; come and examine the books and see for yourself.’ ‘They examined the books, and the difficulty be- tween the company and the citizens was soon set- led.” “Now,” the Commissioner continued,“I am hold- ing the frst public office I ever held, and drawing my first salary, for what? For the purpose of hold- ing an office and drawing a salary? Not at all. I am here to do something; to administer the affairs of the District for the best Interests of the people. I pro to do that, and when I find that I cannot doit am not going to stay here; that isall It would simply be a waste of my time,” THE OFINION OF COMMISSIONER WEST. ‘When the subject of the new gas company was broached to Commissioner West, he said: “TI believe no formal application from the new company has been made to the Commissioners,but jam informed by the president of the board that they have had a conference with him on this sub- but it was informal, I believe.” “ft 1s an intricate question,” continued the Commissioner, after sitting fora few moments absor! in thought. “There is no doubt but that the sureete are owned by the, United States, but Btlll. there are some Inherent rights belonging to the eared ig ery eet = n- eo fattrond to lay. tracks of to make use i 3 28 ae not be torn up again. That looks as If they meant business and bad come here to stay. “T unink,"he went on, in all probability.” AN OWNER OF GAS STOCK TALKS. Meeting a large stockholder !n the gas company, the reporter asked him what the company was going to da, “We are not going to be bulldozed,” was the reply. “I have no doubt that in good time a proper reduction in gas will be made. But the company Will not be forced, Why, the people here are get Ung gas cheaper than In’ any city on the AUanlL seaboard.” “What has that to do with the question of ex- cessive profits?” was the rejoinder. “It the company makes large profits and at the same time furnish gas as cheap as other cities similarly situated, it is due to good business management and superior methods and knowledge In manufactgring gas. Now, who ts to profit for this business Sagacity and brains, the stockhol1- ers or the Cominissioners? I gay the stockhold- ea” ee REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON'S REVENGE. A Desperate Deed Induced by a Wife’ Untaithtuine: grace. The shooting by Representative Phil. B. Thomp- son, of Kentucky, of Walter Davis on a railroad train near Harrodsburg, Ky., yesterday, as an- nounced in an associated press di patch in Tae Star last evening, has been much discussed in this city by the friends and acquaintances of the Congressman, A telegram from Loulsville, tothe Philadelphia Press,says: “There was g: excitement in all the towns in Kentucky to-day When it was learned that Congressman Philip B. ‘Thompson had shot Walter Davis. Those who are Intimate with them have been expecting the trouble for some Ume. Walter Davis and Philip Thompson were bosom friends, they got drunk together and played cards together. Their fatu lies were wealthy, and from their boyhood up they have helped one another, politically ly, Davis became a distiller at Harrodsburg made money hand over fist. ‘Thompson di into politics and was elected to Congress, firs from the seventh district and then from the elgith. FRIENDS IN YOUTH AND MANHOOD, “Davis married Miss Livernta Herring, a step- daughter of Governor Robinson, and ‘Thompson married Mary Garnett, who was sald to be the belle of the Blue Grass region. ‘The two friends bought adjoining farms in Merion county, their intimacy continued, rincely home, and ts s 10,000 In Thomipson’s race against publican candidate, last year. Not a word whispered against ‘Thompson's wife tll L she went to Cincinnatl. Thompson went oa Washington, and Walter Davis and M mas variety th their debar ters in an opera ch In a disreputable house. TWO DEADLY SHOTS. “When Thompson heard of his wif Walton Davis ever met elther of them would have todie. Davis avoided him till this morning. Both men got on the train witch leaves Harrodsburg at o'clock, They met tn the smoking car. Without saying a word Thompson reached back for his pistol and fired tivo shots at Davis In rapla su cesston. Both balls took effect in Davis’ he His brains splattered the car seat, against which he was leaning. He died without saying a word. When Thompson saw that be had killed bis bosom friend, le threw the pistol on the floor and ex- | claimed: “This man took my wife to Cincinnati on sight. I hope T have done so.” He then ordered the train and debauched her. I swore to kil bi to be stopped and delivered himself up, A BLOODY BATTLE. “ This not the fitst time that Phil Thompson has killed his man. When a very youxg man bis fam- lly and the Davis family became engaged in a lawsuit over some land. They had a pitched bat- Ue In froni of the court-house at Harrodsburg. A father and two sons on each side, and all armed with knives and pistols, after a hand-to-hand con- flict that lasted for nearly an nour,the Thompsons whipped the Davises, killing the Tather and the two sons Phil Thompson shot one of them through the head andbis father stabbed the other two. “Phil was the cotnmonwealth’s attorney. ‘Littie’ Phil Thompson, as his friends affectton- ately called him, 1s one'of the most popular men, personally, in Kentucky. ‘The syinpathy here 1s decidedly in nis favor, and the prevalling opinion 4s that he will certainly be acquitted.” ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE SHOOTING. js A telegram from Harrodsburg last night siys: “Thompson and Davis had taken the train for Cincinnatl, but did not meet tll they came to Harrodsburg Junction, where both got into the smoking car. Thompson immediately began an assault on Davis, who tried to escape. As he reached the platform Thompson drew a revolver, and saying, ‘you'll not take my wife to Cinclanatl again!’ fired, and Davis felldead. Davis was a grocer; had Sold his stock, and was about to go to Chicago. Thompson got off the train and walked away.” THE CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING. Cincinnati dispatches say that from the hotel registers and other sources at Cincinnati, It 1s learned that Hon. Phil B. Thompson and wife took supper at the Burnet house, Nov. 27, 188%, with Miss Buckner, a coustn of Mr. Thompson, Mr. ‘Thompson went on to Washington, while the same evening Mrs. ‘Thompson went to the Bt. Clair hotel. ‘The next day the name of W. Davis, of Harrodsburg, appeared on the register, Mrs. Thompson hada weakness for I'quor which she acquired by its medical use. After Mr. Thompson left for Washington she met Davis on the street, and he supplied her with liquor and then took her to his room in the hotel. She was found in the mforning lying in the corridor in a drunken sleep. Mr. Thompson was informed of his wife's conduct, but nothing was sald about Davis, and he refused to recognize her as his wife. Last Tuesday, Mr. Thompson, returning from Waslington, heard for the first time of Davis share in bis wiie’s disgrace. Yesterday he met bim for the first Ume and Davis Spoke to him. ‘Thompson with an oath said, “How dare you speck to me,” and drawing a Istol fired a8 Davis was going through the car oor. He fell and rolled down the embankment. Mr. ‘Thompson left the train, and returned w Harrodsburg on the samo train with the body of his vietlm, “Goins to the court house he stated the facts to the judge and gave himself up. What is Said in Washington. This deplorable affair 1s an almost universal theme of discussion here in Washington, where Phil,” as be is popularly calléd, is generally known. Though not yet thirty-eight years old, he has served two terms, and was last fall elected forathird. He was secretary of the democratic campaign committee last year, and gave nearly all his time to the duties of the position. Though thus prevented from devoting his personal atten- tion to his own renomination and election, none of his competitors were strong enough to beat him. His record since the war presents a singular contradiction of his character as it appears In 80- cial intercourse. He is genlal, good-natured and gent He hasa capacity for making friends Which rendered him a tavorite in. Morgan's confederate cavalry command, of which he was a member during the rebellion. In Congress, among democrats and republicans, he Is most’ favorably regarded. It has always been claimed by his friends that Phil’s part in the Harrodsburg court house trageay, mentioned above, was forced upoa him; that he’ simply de- fendéd the livés of his father, brother and bim- self. Atany rate, public sentiment justified him, for it was aiter that scrape that he was elected to He 1s fond of com) any, 1s a jovial com- n, will stick to a.friend through thick and in, and 1s devoted to his children, two of whom. a daughter, aged about 16, and ason a couple of yeaTs younger, are at school in ‘that the gas company will act ina very foolish manner not to reduce the price of gas, because if they don’t there will be a hew company authorized by Congress next year, and a Trusted Man's Perfidy—A Beautitul Woman’s Dis- nd finanetai- 1 to have contributed fall, when, in company with her husband and Davis, Thomp- son, Who appear to have been cn terms of int- > Temained in the town.
