a GRowL.-Last night was about as
dark as II stack of black cats, and as a
matter Of course there was no gas.
People who were 50 unfortunate as to
be out late had to grope their way along
the streets as they best could at immi-
nert risk OF life and limb. This may
help make fat dividends for the Gas
Company, but we DOME understand
that it fulfils the contract OF the Com
pany with the city. 1t certainly is the
cause of a good deal of profanity for
which somebody will have to answer at
the Great Day.
