THE CONSUMERS' GAS TRUST
Full Statement of the Trusfoe3 Con
cerning the Work Accomplished
Amannt of Sinner (MlectPtl on -Stock and
Expenditures Made in Creating the Plant
An Increase of Capital Ordered.
The trustees of the Consumers' Gat Trust tub
mlt the following concerning the work and
financial condition of the company:
To the stockholders cf the Consumers Gas Trust
Company, eni the rntllc:
It is dae to the stockholders and the publio
that an official statement should be md, show
ing the progress of the work which the Consum
ers' Gas Trust Company has undertaken to per
form. rYben we were feleeted it trustee to act for
the 4,700 stockholders who pledged their support
to the enterprtf e, we were aware that the ob
jects of the company could not be carried oat
unless the management of its affairs was placed
in good hands, and its business was so conducted
as to commsnd tad approval of the Etockholders
and tb publio.
In selecting the board of directors, it was our
desire, as far as possible, to give a representa
tion to all the varied business interests in toe
city; ana It is due to the directors to state that
the work committed to their charge has been
conducted with the same energy, sagacity and
prudence which has enabled them to achieve
success in the various pursuits in which they
are engaged. We are also glad to state that
from the beginning of the work in November
last to the present time there has been perfect
accord between the board of directors and the
board of trustees; and we are Informed that
every act of the directory has been the result ol
the unaolmoas approt al of its members. Ia the
beginning the work w&s so pressing that it was
necessary for the board of directors to hold fre
quent meetings, and the records of the proceed
ings show that each of these meetings has been
attended by all the director who were in the
city, except such as were detained by sickness.
The public is familiar with the difficulties and
doubta that surrounded the enterprise in its in
ception. When the capital stock was subscribed
it was not Itnown that a supply of gas could be
obtained within a reasonable distance of the
city.' The amount of money required for pro
curing leases for gas wells, for right of way, and
for pnrchs9ing and laying pipe could not be es
timated even approximately. But we felt sure
that n enterprise which depended for a pros
perous termination upon the publio spirit of our
citizens, who had come forward so generously
in their subscriptions to the capital stock, would
succeed, and all that was needed to attain suc
cess was to satisfy the supporters of the enter
prise that the money supplied by them wss eco
nomically and judiciously used for the further
ance of the end proposed that end being the
procuring for, all of our citizen of a supply of
fuel at cost at the earliest practicable moment.
We are now abla to state that in tho hands of
the board of directors the enterprise has been
conducted with a prudence, economy and suc
cess that has exceeded our XuOgt sanguine expec
tations. The promptness with which thp sub
scribers have paid the stock subscriptions has
enabled tho board of directors to proceed with
the work without ary delay for lack of f ands.
It was not anticipated by us nor the publio that
the objects of the company could be folly real
ized by the use of the capital stock alone, and we
hare always felt assured that when it became
apparent that the means at the command of the
company would not be sufficient to complete the
enterprise, and the stockholders and public were
satisfied that the money expended had been
wisely and economically used, we could appeal
to the public once more for such assistance as
would be necessary to make the enterprise a
speedy and absolute success.
The directors of the company, through their
committee on finance and auditing, haTe made
to us the following report:
Ojtick or thx Cox suuxas' Gas T&?st Co.
To the Trustees:
Gentlemen In compliance with yonr request, we
beg to submit the following report, based upon eon
tracs and estimates. It is as nearly correct as can
be made at this time.
It includes the eost of the wells, field work, line
Fipe to the city, high and low pressure, city systems,
rom Twelfth street north, to Morris street south,
Peru and Pine streets east, to Mississippi and Blako
streets west. We confidently expect to do xanre this
season, but this will depend largely npoa too condi
tion of the weather and the force that can be ob
tained to forward the work.
Our estimate of the annnal income to the company
ia the territory mentioned is $300,000 to $400,000.
From the report it will be seen that about 10.000
will be necessary to complete this a ;.non's work. Ue

Those certificates are due on or before March 1,

tire high-pressure system, including the wells,
the main lines to the eity, andjiish pressure in
the city, have been bought and laid with the ex
ception of a small amount of unfinished work
which is now in progress in the southern part of
the city. The eiehty-five miles of low-pressuro
pipe needed to fill in the territory bounded by
Twelfth street on th north and Morris on tho
south, and Peru and Pine streetson the east and
Miss ssippi and Blake streets on the west, and
tho service pipes and connections necessary to
reach every consumer within those limits, hare
all been purchased, excepting about seventeen
miles of low pressure pipe, and we are informed
that the contract for what remains to be pur
chased will soon be consummated.
The fact that nearly $100,000 worth of pipe
end material have been void to the company on
fite years' credit evinces the confidence that
manufacturers of pipe have in the ultimate suc
cess of this enterprise; and w may state here
that these manufacturers, who hare been ro
generous in extending this credit, bavi don bj
after a careful examination of th cm CeKl sod
an lnv9'.i?ation of the plans of tho board of
director tor carrying on the work. They have
also made Inquiry as to the publio feeling in re
rrd In the ettt'rprtf. and have been assured
tb&t the peorU who inaugurated this work
would stand by it and make it successful.
It is due t "the directors to sUte ihatther
have given their time and laore to this wrk
without charge, rail the result shows tnat tney
have done their work with the same prudence
and energy that they have disnlared in the
in an r.g me r.t tair own personal bnsinejs in-
t rests. Owing to the stato or the market, ar.d
the credit of the companr, they have been en
abled to purch-ve p"iiM an i other matsnals at
rate far telow the lowest estimates that have
been made.
Considering the mscnUude of the work, tho
trustees became satis tied at the annual meeting
that an increase of the cr.pita! stock should be
authorize i. acd anthority was eiven for it in
cre?e lrm tho present amount of sv00.0(0 to
tl.l'OO.OOtf W have authorised the directors to
tpn luhicriptiooa at once for, and to iisce,
f JuO.OOO of this increased stock, which aruount
wilt be abundantly sufficient t complete all the
work that can be done this lesion; that is, to
trne gs to the projerty line of every fuel con
sumer in the city within the limits of the high
pressure hues which have been laid and are cow
going down.
We have no donbt abont the aocomplishment
of the work. The people have shown an admir
able spirit in inaugurating the enterprise, and we
venture to say that no rity in th country can
famish an instance where a work so great and
important, sustained sinmly. by the generosity
and publio spirit of its ci .near, has attained to
such success.
We are confident that vh contemplated work
can be completed in time to bring a topoly of
fuel to every coaiumer btiora the cold wemher
will becin. We believe that the people are
read? t respond promptly to the request for
the proposed additional subscription to the com
pany's stock.
We, therefor, make this appeal to the stock
holders and to eueh of our citizens as have not
yet identified themselves with the enterprise, to
repcnd generously and promptly to the call
wnich will soon be made npon them by the di
rectors for subscriptions to the capital stock.

Ed Tsps a Razor on Ms Throat, tat What
Horfd 11 im to tho Deed Xo One Knows.
David Emdcn, a Hebrew, forty-two years of
age, committed suicide at the Circle House yes
terday morning. He was a eousin of Jlichael
Emden. of No. 105 South Illinois street, and
had been a resident cf the city for nearly a year
and a half. He had trouble with his wife, who
lives in New York. He Is reputed to be worth
at least $00,000, and had an insurance policy of
$30,000 on his life at the time of his death. Ho
leaves two children a boy of ten, who is in this
city, and a girl of eighteen, who ia now on her
way from New York city. She is expected
this moraine, and is as yet ignorant
o! her father's self-killing. It was a
telegram from her to her father, notifying him
of her purpose to visit him, that led to the dis
covery of the deed. About 10 o'clock in the
morning Adolph Kahn received the telegram,
and was taking it to Emaen, who has been a
regular boarder at the Circle House. Emden'a
key was in its usual place in the office, but his
door was found open. He occupied a double
room, tho sleeping and sitting-rooms; separated
by but a thin partition. Upon entering the bed
room Emden was seen lying on the bed, scantily
dressed, and covered with blood. His neck was
slashed from ear to ear, a bloody razor, closed,
being found on the bed. Coroner Wacner was
called, and by his orders the remains were re
moved to Kreelo's, where they were embalmed
in the afternoon. An inquest will be held this
morning.
Emden was known as one of the most con
genial men around the hotel, and of remark
able willingness to take a joke. He seldom bo
came angry, ( but was subject to spells of melan
choly. He was a frequent player of poker, but
was rarely known to indulge in drink. Of his
married life but little is known. He has not
lived with his wife for nearly two years, and
circumstances seem to point to an unhappy
career prior to that time. He left two lstters,
one to his daughter, which is in possession of
the coroner, and one dated July 3, to his cousin,
Jlichael Emden, which ran as follows:
Do not be surprised when you are informed of my
last deed. 1cm tired of living in suspense. All I ask
of you is Ui cend my remains Eat. Telegraph to S.

A Factor n Insurance.
Natural gas, in the opinion of a leading under
writer of the city, will reduce the rates of In
surance. Some of the insurance men have been
led to believe that its introduction here would
ioereass the risk on all property, hut he does
not think so. A great number of Area iu dwell
ings are the result of fire pepping ont in the
rooms from stoves and fire-p aces. Cases of this
kiud will be entirely eliminated by the intro
duction of ga, and an important saving will oo
the result The only case where gas is like y to
increase the risk, at least the only one that ex
perience has shown to be of inn h conse,ju-nce,
i? in heating chimney and eracking th-m. no
et being present to protect tfeetn. On the
whole, holster, he thinks ao important saving
may be made to policy-holders here by the use
gas.

Why Mr. Wljn Supports Harrison.
To the editor of the Ir.dlananoiis Journal;
II. J. Watjen, a drugeist of this city, was a
soldier under General Harrison. He enlisted in
Indianapolis Aug. C 18C2. in Company A,
commanded by Captain Harrison, of the Seven
tieth Indiana. Mr. Watjen was promoted from
private to aesistan t surgeon before the close of
the war. What makes him remember General
Harrison with a gratefulness that cannot be ex-
presed in words was a disinterested act of kind
ness he rendered Mr. Watjen during a severe
attack of sickness. Just below Gal
latin. Tenn. , at Drake's creek, while
enarding a bridge Mr. Watjen was
taken serionsly ill with typhoid pneumonia.
Unknown at the time to Mr. Watjen, bis com
mander, General Harrison pased throoeh the
Cn on lines and secured a place in a farm-house
nearby for the sufferer lie was then taken
there and cared for through his si.knes, and
restored to health. He aaya that to-dy he owes
hi life t th:s tbongntfulnesn and kindness of
General Harmon. Mr. Watjen regarded him as
a strict disciplinarian, but very Kind to bis men.
II is for Harneon first, last and all the time,
and will do hi utmost to secure hi election to
the high office of President of the United
States.
