Political Movements Nominations for
Conservative Councils, Etc. Etc.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEaRAPH.1
BALTIMORE, January 25.- The nominations
which were made at the primary ward meetings
last night of candidates for City Council and
delegates to the City Convention, to nominate a
Mayor, by conservatives, are generally unsatis-
factory. There was large attendance of the
rough element at all the wards, laud considerable
disturbance.
The whole movement seems so unpalatable to
the better portion of our citizens generally, that
town meeting will probably be called to take
the nomination out of the hands of the old
hackneyed wireworkers. The excitement is
very intense and intensifying. The cOnserva-
tives apprehend they will be outwitted by the
radicals, who do not propose making an open
party nomination, but hope to get their men
elected under the garb and patronage of the
conservatives.
Governor Swami will be made United States
Senator to-day.
Baltimore will be in whrlwind until after
the pending election of Mayor and Councilmen.

Inventor of Gas LiEht.

The credit of originating lighting by gas is
generally supposed to belong to the English, but
there is no doubt that they took the hint from
a French source. Philippe lie Bon, an ingenious
engineer of roads and bridges in France in 1855
adopted the idea of using, for the purpose OF
illumination, the gases distilled during the COM
bustion of wood. He labored a long time in the
attempt to perfect his crude invention, and it
was not until 1893 that he condded his discovery
TO the Institute at Paris In September, 1900,
ne took out a patent and in 1901 published
memoir containing the result of his researches.
From 1899 to 1902 lie Bon made numerous eX-
periments at Havre, but, as is generally the
case with new discoveries, his thermo lamps met
with but little favor from the public, and he
finally retired to Versailles, where he eventually
died in extreme poverty.
The English soon improved upon and put in
practice the crude ideas Of Philippe lie Bon.
In 1904 Windsor patented and claimed the credit
of inyentlng the process of lighting by gas. In
1905 several shops in Birmingham were thus
Illuminated, and among those VINO used the new
light was Watt, the inventor of the steam engine.
The FIRST use OF gas in London was in 1916, and
il was not until 1878 that this brilliant discovery.
or invention-really OF French origln-was ap-
piled in France.

General Amanda, the Liberal commander at

Information has reached here OF the loss of a
Steamer en- route for BraZos Santiago, loaded

were paid for in Carvajal bonds, at such a rate
Rhat each musket cost $3.50. II is estimated that
