KAHN Cor. Main plaza and West Commerce st. The CITY COUNCIL. ADOPTION OF THE SECOND AND THIRD WARD MAPS BY THE COUNCIL. Reports of City Engineer- -Nature of New Business Transacted stons Thereon- -Minor Items.

A regular session of the City Couneil Gentlemen- -Your commissioners, appointed for the purpose of making a surrey of that portion the Third ward bounded by East Commerce, Davis or Palmetto and Grayson streets and the Madre ditch, herewith submit the finished map of territory, and the following report: The map being self-explanatory, we have not thought it necessary to enter into a detailed statement of the changes made, which were rendered necessary by the circumstances of the case, as inspection of the map show these fully and olearly. Our first attempt was to locate the streets where they should be, as indithe official records, viz: The Hartnett map and plans, contained in portfolios, numbered one and two, city records; but finding these records lines conflicting, and the Hartnett map inaccurate, figured distances disagreeing and none of the streets in this large territory on the ground where the records would place them, this was abandoned as impracticable, improvements having progressed so far, we were compelled to take things as we found them and adapt the lines of streets to what actually exists. Our endeavor has been to restore the rectangular system, make the streets as near north and south and east and west as possible, and while preserving the required width and alignment of each street, at the same time give to each square or block its proper area with the least damage to either the city or property owners. This we have been able to accomplish in every case, except where retired property their owners have voluntarily lines and increased the width of streets. In such cases we have deemed it wise policy to retain these increased widths leave the streets 88 we find them.

An area greater than the records call for was found to exist within the described boundaries, due to inaccuracies in previous measurements. This excess was utilized in straightening the streets, restoring the rectangular system and preserving the integrity of the blocks, as 18 fully shown on the map. Owing to the inaccurate location of block No. 10, from appears most of the subsequent measurements were made, a small shortage was found to exist between Burnet and Grayson streets. This, however, had been already detected and the greater portion provided for by the property owners in their own subdivisions of the territory between Duvall and Grayson streets.

The small remainder of two and onetenth feet we have taken from the south side of Burnet street, and in this conneetion would recommend that when the property lines are advanced on Nolan was held yesterday afternoon in the Council chamber. There were present: J. H. French, Mayor, Aldermen Bolton, Belknap, Lockwood, Cardenas, Smye, Schreiner, Richter, Story Dwyer. Absent, Aldermen Hambleton, Pauly and Arnaud.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and Mary Joyce, for remission of license tax on wagon. Referred to Committee on Petitiona and Ordinances. Texas Saving Gas company, proposal to put governors on gas meters! for onehalf the gas saved. Referred to Committee on Water and Gas. Citizens of Medina county, asking that an ordinance be passed to have live and slaughtered hogs inspected and a record of marks kept.

Referred to Committee on Streets and Bridges and City Engineer. Ladies Cemetery association announcing their permanent organization, and requesting the employment of a laborer, by the city, to work in the cemeteries.

Schreiner moved that the Mayor appoint a man in accordance with the above request, not to exceed $10 per month. Cardenas moved an amendment that the man be employed for two months. Story amended that it be for six months. The matter was referred to the Public Improvement committee. Street Commissioner Russi suggested that Cherry street be lowered in order to prevent overflows from the Valley ditch; also that the proposition of the Sunset railroad company offering to fill up that ditch and build a track on it, be accepted, provided they keep the balance of the street in good repair.

Referred to the City Engineer and City Attorney. City Engineer, estimate for a bridge over Alazan creek at San Fernando street, $125. The amount was approprinted and the work ordered. City Collector, $13,451.64 collected for the month of May. Pound Master, $131.40 collected in May.

Dwyer, for the Finance Committee, reported in favor of postponing action on the resolution making the appointment of a park keeper. Adopted. Story, the Chairman, reported that they had examined the new Third ward may to Pine street, asked that it be accepted and perpetuated; also that suitable monuments at once put down.

The report of the City Engineer on the subject was also read, as follows: SAN ANTONIO, June 5, 1884. Hon. James H. Fret ch, Mayor, and City Council: Gentlemen- -Your commissioners, appointed for the purpose of making a San San Entonio, street, at the same time they should retired on Burnet and Hackberry streets, as shown by the blue lines on the map. The original maps and records show Mesquite, Barleson and Starr streets a6 continuous.

We find Mesquite street, from Hayes to Lamar, Burleson, from Olive to Pine, and Starr, from Hackberry to Olive, fenced in; we recommend that these streets should be opened so that lines of travel may not be interrupted in this rapidly growing district, and that the unsightly obstructions Olive street, between Starr and Crockett, be removed. scribed duty, from the importance of the While a perhaps no part of our prematter and looking to the future of your city, we would respectfully and urgently recommend that the large territory, embracing over 250 acres, lying between the cemeteries, Palmetto, Grayson and Pine streets be subdivided by your official action, so as to insure that the streets be made straight, of uniform width and corresponding in lines and direction with the system we have endeavored to restore. Under the pernicious system now prevailing of each property owner subdividing as his fancy dictates, without regard to what has been done by his neighbors, the result will be a collection of disconnected villages, instead of part and parcel of fl great and growing city. The importance of this action is obvious from inspection the map where three entirely dissimilar subdivisions are All of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS FRANKLYN, C.

DWYER. Adopted and placed on tile. Bolton said they had all agreed, although he was the only member of the Council who would suffer, losing feet off the front of his lot. He stated that there was still a controversy regarding Palmetto street, which would have to be determined now or hereafter, as there is a surplus of 55 feet. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously.

The Committee also reported in favor of adopting the new Second ward map. Adopted, and it was made the official map of the city. Story also submitted plans of sewer trap, to be located at the corner of Houston and Soledad streets, and sewers to the San Antonio river, amounting to $979.15, and recommended that the sum be appropriated. Adopted. The same Committee recommended the adoption of the new grade of the City Engineer on St.

Hays street was ordered plowed and scraped. King William street WAS ordered graded and grayeled, and referred to the Finance Committee. Martin street was also ordered plowed and graded. Sebreiner reported infavor of granting one permit to erect an iron-clad building. Adopted.

Reports of Sanitary Inspectors were examined and placed on file. A gas lamp was ordered at the corner of Johnson and King William streets. The Mayor was authorized to contract for water in the City park. Belknap reported aS follows: SAN AYTONIO, June 7, School committee desire to say to the Council: That together with the Superintendent they have attended the June examination in the different ward schools. That we have found the schools as a body excellently conducted, with teachers, active and energetic in their work.

The rooms are all over-crowded, the 35 classes averaging from 50 to 75 scholars in each. The children well behaved, bright, intelligent, neat and attentive, showing improvements over their standing of a year ago. 'The additional school rooms, provided by your Board, First and Third wards, and now building, will not be finished a day too soon for the numbers in excess of the accommodation last year. And within another year prompt steps should be taken for more accommodations in the Fourth ward. While in the Second the buildings are grounds improperly drained, and should be filled up at once.

Four rooms in the High school have been used this year to, decommodate these scholars. 'Those rooms in another year will be required for the higher and grammar classes, which are rapidly growing, and will need all available rooms in the High school. The second ward classes will then be crowded back into the small wooden buildings constituting the Second ward school. You will therefore do well, before another year has passed, to make larger and better accommodations in that ward. The experiment of holding a night school has been very encouraging.

Since its organization an average of 18 regular attendants each night, and without doubt in the coming year the attendance will be much larger. The larger portion of the teachers will remain with us during the next year. Their services are more desirable, and efforts to retain them should be encourand aged, for we find greater proticiency better order under old and regular teachers than in those classes where changes during the year are frequent. The High school should be mentioned, and its practical workings in its new and commodious building (which is a model of comfort and excelient ventilation). It has from the large increase in its classes, demonstrated the wisdom and forethought of the Council in supfor plying this much needed finishing school those who advance from lower classes.

We are satisfied with the workings of our schools under the direction of Superintendent Rote and his valuable assistante, and venture the assertion they will challenge favorable comparison with any. They are doing an excellent good work, of which we are justly proud. By Story: That the City Edgineer give the cost of sidewalks around Travis. park, streets class leading to the with cross walk Adopted. park.

By Lockwood: That the property owners on Avenue be ordered to construct sidewalks. class B. Referred to the City Engineer. Bolton: That the City Attorney be requested to prepare an ordinance requiring service pipes from gas and water mains to be laid within or to curb lines of streets prior to the permanent improvement of same by paving, and further, that the ordinance be presented at an early date for approval. Adopted.

By Bolton: That the City Engineer be directed to survey the ground east of Palmetto street to city boundaries and locate each lot or tract of land between Alameda and the north line of city lots 1 and 2, range 3, district 1, at us early 4 date as possible, and report findings to the Council. Adopted. Antonio Teras, Tuesday, June necessary. Adjourned. RECORDER'S COURT.

By Schreiner, that the City Engineer be directed to report all paoperty ownera on North Flores street who failed to construct their sidewalks as ordered by the Connell, and to report as soon 18 possible. Adopted. time By Belknap, that this is the proper to encourage labor and the employment of home resources, that committee to whom were referred the selection of a proper site and to consider the building of a city hall, be respectfully requested to begin operations without further delay. Referred to the Finance Committee. Cardenas introduced the following resolution: that this Council in determining to pave Commerce street unintentionally mentioned Rosendale cement, and that this Connell believe our home cement to be equal to Rosendale, if not better.

Mayor French stated the error had been corrected in the report, when action on the resolution was not Zaimanzig as the Irate Parent and His Son's Avenger. In the absence of the Recorder, who is in attendance n8 a delegate at the Fort Worth convention, Mayor French adjudicated upon the divers charges at the bat cave this morning. Carrie Webb, colored, was charged with keeping a vicious dog, the viciousness of which she strenuously denied. The Mayor took a lenient view of the matter and fined Miss Webb $1. Francisso Alvarez, for running a rock wagon with six animals without having a proper license.

This being a case of misunderstanding on the part of the defendant, he was dismissed. Santiago Delgado was fined $5 for being disorderly. Antonio Rendin was charged with cutting Augustin Rodriguez, both of them boys. that The smaller Rodriguez alleged Rendin wanted a whistle he had, and attempted to take it force and not being able to do so, stabbed him in the face with a pocket knife. Antonio denied, he saying they were all playing, and as tried to get the whistle away in fun, Rodriguez fell upon the knife he had in his hand.

The Mayor again took a lenient view of the charge and dismissed the case. Juan Gomez was lined $5 for being drunk. Henry Mella, alias warrant issued. Two charges against William Maibaum, one for carrying a pistol and another for discharging firearms, were continued until Saturday, when they will be tried by jury. John Miller had a $5 penalty inflicted for soliciting passengers on the platform of the International and Great Northern railroad.

Mr. Zalmanzig, was charged with using abusive language to Mr. Schwartz, who stated that he came into his house and called him hard things and then tried to brain him with about 30 pounds of rope, but this was too heavy for the old gentleman to lift, so he turned his attention to a half-gallon beer measure which he found too light. Mr. Zalmanzig said he was excited, owing to his grandson coming to him and saying come, they want to kill papa." When he came lie saw his son had blood on his neck and he might have used some hard names to them.

Judgment was deferred in this case until after the hearing of a charge against Schwartz. MATTERS CONGRESSIONAL. The Race in this District and Probable Candidates. The Congressional contest in this distriet is the subject of much discussion and debate now, but chiefly by the papers out of the district. Hon.

John Hancock's name has appeared prominently in all of these comments, and his fitness or unfitness for the place has been freely discussed. Among the probable dates most generally spoken of to succeed the Hon. John Hancock are Colonel Upson, of this city, and Colonel J. T. Brackenridge, of Austin.

Now following close upon the announcement that Mr. Hancock was soon coming home to look after his fences, comes the announcement that he declines to be a candidate for renomination. For this he is accused of political cowardice and is held up to the contempt of his constituents. A LIGHT reporter, in speaking of the Congressional succession in this district, met Colonel Upson 8 week or so ago, and alluding to his reported candidacy requested to know if he was really a seeker for the place. His reply was in the negative with the qualification that he would not decline, but had done nothing, nor did he expect to enter the field unless urged to do so.

Colonel Upson has represented this district in Congress before and his record is evidence of his ability and labors. He did not sit silent and content himself with inaction. His constituency heard from him and of him, and his course commends him to the voters of district as a fit representative of the Democracy and a thorough going representative of his whole constituency. He will undoubtedly be urged for the place, and it chosen will prove satisfactory to all. THE GULF ROAD.

A Meeting to Further the Project to build at Once. The quiet work which has been going on in this city for some weeks, to secure subseriptions to further the building of a railroad to the Gulf of Mexico, culminated in a meeting at Scholz hall last night, over which Mr. Theodore Roziene was chosen to preside. The object of the meeting was briefly stated and the announcement was made that some $178,000 had already been subscribed in the city and that $150,000 more could easily be secured out of the city, A great deal of enthusiasm was manifested, and it seemed as though some of the citizens at least, had finally been awakened to the necessity of building this road, which is so important to the trade and commerce of the city. Speeches were made and suggestions freely offerred.

The committee, which had been at continue work previously, was requested to its labors and use every effort to increase the subscription. Another meeting will be held to-night at the court house, and the citizens who have the advancement and interest of San Antonio at heart should attend, and by their presence at least show their concern. "Little Ladies Joker." approve of your smoking Light. ST. PAUL, June Theodore Roosvelt, of New York, spent Sunday in St.

Paul on his way to his Montana ranch. Speaking of the issues before the Chicago convention Mr. Roosvelt said: The platform is an admirable one, as strong as the party has had since the old war days. It will give 118 thousands of votes all over the country. There is scarcely a Republican or Independent of conservative judgment but must endorse it heartily.

The Democratic party must follow on our platform or give up the fight. I did not favor Blaine or Arthur. My preference was for Edmunds. Aside that would stick to him through thick from his own strength of 380. odd votes and thin, the "plumed knight" was the choice of two-thirds of the remaining delegates, and as they saw the nomination of their candidate WAR impossible and Blaine's nomination probable, they flocked to him in a body.

This is why no combination against Blaine was pos sible. Had not been so positively for Edmunds don't know, but I would have been carried away myself by the contagion and found myself throwing up my hat for Blaine. Blaine is the choice of two-thirds of the rank and file of the party. I have no personal objections to Blaine. I think you will find there will be will no be fatal elected.

Great excitement Was created on Main plaza shortly after 10 o'clock last night by the report that trouble was brewing between Billy Simme, of the Vaudeville theatre, and Captain Joe Shely and Messrs. Niggli and Wallace.

A throng soon gathered in front of the theatre and the advent of several police officers added color to the report. A LiGhT reporter saw Simms and got his statement of the trouble, but has so far been unable to meet Captain Shely. The trouble blew over without a collision or bloodshed, and no arrests were made. Simms' statement is that while he WaR standing at the White Elephant bar last night Wallace came in but said nothing to him; that his attention was attracted by Constable Bader catching hold of Wallace and saying: then "Here, turned none of that." He (Simms) and saw Wallace, of Medina county, whom he recalled as having been arrested at the Vaudeville a week or two back. He thought Wallace wanted to shoot him and soon left: that upon returning to the Vaudeville Shely, Niggli and Wallace soon followed, and he trouble.

The exact reverse is the truth.

The fact is, long before the Chicago convention Mr. Schurz told us that under no conceivable circumstance would he support and advocate the nomination of Mr. Blaine. What has happened of late has rather confirmed than weakened him in that intention. The Republican party will hear from him very soon.

INDIANAPOLIS, June Abe Buford, of Kentucky, committed suicide at Danville, this morning, at the residence of his nephew, B. E. Buford. General Buford came to Danville last Wednesday to visit relatives and attend the races this week. He seemed much depressed, which was visibly increased after reading the article in a newspaper giving an account of the decadence of the Buford family, written in connection with the return of Tom Buford to the asylum, a physical and financial wreck.

The General's fortune has also been swept away. He retired to his room just after breakfast this morning and had been there but a short time when the report of a revolver was heard, and he was found in a dying condition, having shot himself in the head. He died without a struggle. Two statements, one dated this morning, were found, saying that financial misfortune, death in his family and the trouble of his brother, Tom Buford, who killed Judge Elliott, were the causes of the act. His remains will be sent to Lexington.

SPRINGFIELD, Vermont, June village has been visited by another disastrous flood, the second in eleven months. Early in the evening two very heavy rain storms, one from the north and the other from the south, met here and the rain fell as if a mighty river was falling from the heavens, and the hill north of town that slopes to the Black river and east to a creek, sent a torrent of water toward the town. Warning was at once given, but so rapidly did the water rise that few had time to save anything, and were forced to flee for their lives. The channel of soon became filled with the wreekage of houses, fences and other buildings, which forced water in other directions. One stream plowed through Springfield house, another through Hart and livery stable, and another through Ellison Brag's stage barn.

The individual losses and damage to the highways reach at least $50,000. In some places the highways are gullied twenty-five feet deep, and some houses in the village have four feet of mud in them.
