The Photographic News predicts the de-
struction of the gas company monopoly by
the introduction Of gas produced by i'm
ORIGINATING super heated steam with coal tar
1t is thus produced at an excessively low
price, and with great rapidity. 1t is found
to contain one-half less oxide of carbon and
twice as much bicarburetted hydrogen as
common gas, and is, therefore, twice as val
liable. 1t is also very durable. and after be-
ing kept for five months in gasometers, it
exhibited no change and left no deposit
One of its merits consists in its being en-
tirely free from sulphuretted hydrogen. Its
practical utility will soon be tested.

The contested election cases in the House
of Representatives will come on next week.
Mr.. Towards claims to the seat occupied by
Mr.. Cooper of Michigan, will be first con-
sidered, and will probably be decided in ia
vor of Mr.. Howard. This will be followed
by the case of Messrs. Blair and Barrett, OF
St. Louis. The majority of the Committee
on Elections report that MIR. Blair has pre-
sented such evidences of illegal and fraudu-
lent votes having been cast for Mr.. Barrett as
entities the former to the seat. In the case
of Messrs. Daily and Eastabrook, of Nebras-
ka, the Committee report unanimously In
favor of Daily. The case of Messrs. Ander'
son and Chisman is next in turn, and the
report is in favor of Mr.. Anderson, the sit
ting member. The case of Messrs. William
son and Siekles will probably go over to the
next session, as will also that of Messrs. Da-
Wis and Harris, of Maryland. 81
