COMMISSIONERS’ COURT.
Again Callaghan’* Few Disagree
and Wrangle.
The commissioners met at IP o’clock
this morning and a lively snappy time
was had. The first matter brought before
the body was the election of a superin-
tendent for the convict camp. The fol-
lowing named candidates were placed be-
forethe court: Fred. Hildebrandt. Emil
Reck. Modesto Torres Frank Dalcom
and Wm Umscheid.
The fun then started. Callaghan
and Dwyer had it: hot and heavy
and an agreement Could not be made.
Twenty-two nallots were taken and still
they did not agree. After the tenth ballot
a motion was made that the election be
postponed but. was not carried. The re-
snltof the first ballot was Hildebrandt. 1.
Bock 1 Torres 2 and Dalcom 1. The
twenty-second bollot stood exactly the
same wav and wasso during the entire
bailoting.’excepting twice when Fmcheid
was voted for. Commissioner Jonas was
weary over the matter at the end of the
twenty-second billot and made a motion
to the effect that the election he posponed
1 until next Monday. A second was heard
in an instant and when put to a vote the
motion carried.without a decerning vote.
Judge Callaghan was even anxious to
say “L”
The sheriff was ordered to receive bids
for new water closets for the courthouse.
The sheriff’s report for the month of
December was found correct.
Then* were several small bills approved
after which the body adjourned.
That Hunting Party.
In the last issue of the ’'American Field
and Forest and Stream” appears letters
from Mr. I. F. Meyers of this city de-
tailing the advantages of the gulf coast
for shooting and fishing and inviting
hunters and fishers of repute to join the
big hunting party that leaves-hero for the
gulf Coast during the month. Mr. Meyers
guarantees good sport a courteous recep-
tion and hearty welcome and there is no
qqpstion that the guarantee will be fully
satisfied. Response to those letters are
coming in daily from all parts and there
is no question that the hunting partv will
be a good and cheap one. What is more
it is probable that this party will be the
fore-runner of many others of a like
character and cannot fail to be of benefit
to San Antonio and to Southwest Texas
generally.

To Open or Not io Open.
Chicago Jan. 3.—Tbe question of
keeping open tho World's fair on
Sundays will be argued before Judge
Toley today. The application tor the
injunction to restrain tbe World’s
fair directors from closing the gates
on Sundays is based on the assump-
tion that Jackson Park is public pro-
perty a place of resort owned by the
whole people. The park commis-
sioners it is alleged hold thia pro-
perty in trust for the people and have
no authority to debar the public from
it on any day in the year.
It la further alleged that since
they have not tbe right to
bar out tbe people they have not tbe
right to delegate to any other body
the right to close the grounds on
Sunday. It is claimed that under
tne charter citizens and. taxpayers
have tbe right to visit Jackson Park
on any day in the year without pay-
ing admission. In tbe application for
the injunction the question of charg-
ing for admisaion is formally waived.
Tbe movement Is backed by promi-
nent business men.
PRICE $5 a Year
MORE SIREET RAILWAYS.
Transportation Facilities tn be In-
crea-rel in Mt-virai Quarters.
It is highly probable that within less
than sixty days the Alamo Electric rail-
way will lie in active operation in all of its
branches with possibly the exception of
that portion extending from North Flores
street to Beacon hill. A forewef men is at
w<«ak now cleaving and repairing the track
winch lias not been used for over a year
and it may take about that length of time
to get it in order. If it is not operated
soon it will loose it’s franchise and those
who donated liberal Ixmusses to have it.
ounstructed: are insisting on the opera-
tion of the Une. It’s course may be some-
what modified so as to. make it a
belt line which will give it greater
length and. if it becomes necessary on
account of heavy travel during the hold-
ing of fairs it is likely that it will be
double tracked from tho Mill bridge to
tbe tair grounds which would more than
quadruple its transportation capacity.
In case khat the franchises asked of the
city council are granted it is probable
that there will be two. or possibly three
new railways built here by next fall in
time for the accommodation of visitors to
the next fair. One and probably two. of
them will been tho west side of the city.
Tho tracks of the street railways on tbe
east side of the city are now undergoing
extensive repairs and especially at Smith
Heights and oa*tof the cemeteries in the
Newman addition. '
San Antonio already has greater street
railway facilities than any other city in
Texas and she also in this respect excels
many of the larger cities of the older
states but she will probably eclipse many
of the great metropolis in this respect at.
an early day.
