CHEAPER THAN SUNLIGHT,
The Gas.Wells Of East Liverpool
The Fuel They Produce.

Correspondents Of the Cleveland Leader ]
East Liverpool ID beautifully situ-

southwestern part Of Columbiana

Cleveland and forty miles from

Its natural gas wells form one OF
the seven wonders of the world.
They are situated in and around the
city, and give continual supply Of
the finest light. The gas is almost
as free as the air. II costs practi.
cally nothing, and forms an illumi-
nator snd heater of the town. Tho
city is lighted by it, and the street
lamps blaze away at MONDAY as
well as at midnight. 1t costs moth
ing to let them burn, and it takes
trouble to put. them out.
Almost the entire fuel used IN the
town is this gas. 1t is conducted
into the CRATES and stoves in pipes,
and by it all the cooking and heat.

makes no dirt, is easy TO kindle, and
costs very little. Why, for instance,
the Dobbins House, where am now
writing, is q three story brick. con
tanning in the neig borhood OF fifty
rooms and q basement. Its light
and fuel for the whole house is com
posed of gas and costs only sl4 per
month the year round, and its light
is not the Pickering mockery OF
poorly manufactured gas, but a
fame which approximates in its
briliianey that of the electric light.
But the question is, how long will

to send forth their streams OF light.

turtles, or will they die away in the
course of short time ? This, Of
course, no one can tell. The pros
poets are, however, very good for
the future. The first well discovered
now burns as brightly as when it
was first opened, and for the last
twenty years has never tagged in its
brilliancy, and none of those now
in operation have ever shown any
signs of giving out. For years Liv.
pool used manufactured gas, never
dreaming of the rich supply that
was wasting away under its very
feet. The poor quality OF this
caused Colonel II. K. Hill, in 1889,
to experiment with and open the frs,
gas-well in this vicinity. A well
was dug, being some four hundred
and fifty feet deep. and pipe Land.
That well has been furnishing fuel
and light to several houses, produc.
ing the steam for large engine and
burning pottery kilns every day for
over twenty years. zt
The great beauty of the gas pipe
is the entire absence or smoke and
dirt, and when in an open CRATE play

A Girl Teamster In Boots.

For several months past, among
the many teamsters and wood-chop-
pers working for the railroad COM
many at and in the vicinity OF Poplar
Bluff, there has been one, trim, very
smooth-faced fellow especially no.
ticeable. He was popular with all
his associates, owing, perhaps, to his
ways and his straightforward bear
ing. He did not indulge in the use
Of intoxicating liquors. and night
after night, as the men were grouped
around the camp fire, his CHEEKY
voice, as he sang the rude ballads Of
his companions, made the forest ring.
About ten days since he fell vicrim
to the chills and fever, and while de-
lirious his attendant made the
startling discovery that their favorite
was not what he claimed, but w0-
man in disguise. At night, on the
return of the choppers to the camp,
the Information was impaired, and
the next day the girl was carried to
Poplar Bluff, where, under the care
Of the physician, she som recovered.
Her occupation gone. she found her
self nm object Of suspicion and curl
osity.. Unable to obtain work suit
able for her sex, few nights since
she donned her :'old Clothes" and,
rs we learn from Conductor Welsh,
came to Judsonia, where she is again
at her old occupation--driving
team. The girl, when questioned as
to her reasons for leading the life she
does, answered frankly that she can
not obtain employment suitable for a
woman, and that rs man she re-
ceives much larger pay than she
would as common domestic.-Ar-

Monroe Mich, Cor. Baltimore Americana
The Custer family live on the main
street, in large gray house with low
windows, long porches and creeping
vines, shaded by rustling poplars.
The interior is rich in things of in
terest. One room is furnished just
as General Custer had his room at
Fort Lincoln. The walls are covered
with stuffed bears, immense buffalo
heads, wild cats, coons, antlers, etc,
animals killed by the General. Over
the doors are the crossed swords OF
the General. his brothers and Lieu
tenant Calhoun. In one corner
stands their firearms stacked, in an
other an escritoire with the pens, ink,
writing material and books brought
from the fort. On top of the escri
toire stand two exquisite china vases,
the head of General Custer painted
on one and Mrs. Custer on the other.
Hanging on the wall, just beside the
desk and chair. is splendid picture
of Lawrence Barrett, and above the
desk one of Duke Alexis, both bosom
friends of the Generals. One could
remain in this room for hours aud
still find some new thing of interest,
some relic of the brave dead. In
the parlor, on the wall, hangs a
splendid bronze medallion. life size,
and beautiful oil painting of the
General in his early days. On al
most every fine day old Mr.. Custer,
tall, fine-looking old gentleman,
with snow white hair and beard, may
be seen riding the spirited blooded
horse that belonged to and was used
by the General. Mrs. Calhoun, the
sister OF General Custer, and widow
of Lieutenant Calhoun, is young and
beautiful, with a sweet, sad ex-
preston. Mrs. Yates, the widow of
Captain George Yates, daughter of
Colonel Minor Roberts and grand
daughter of Judge Gibson, OF Car
Isle, Pennsylvania, lives q short dis
lance frcm the Clusters in a cute lit
tie cottage, standing in larg e lawn
and shaded by huge apple trees.
Here, too, we find many relics-the
swords. firearms, cap and blood
stained gauntlets of Captain Yates,
and little fatherless children-three
little children born under the roof of
Fort Lincoln and nursed by an Indian
squaw. Although Mrs. Yates is still
in her twenties, her splendid suit
of hair is silver gray. She is highly
accomplished, speaks French and
Portuguese, is fine musician, and
has magnificent voice, trained al
most to perfection. She has also
great conversational powers, is ex-
tremely well read and witty, woman
that can adapt herself to circum-
stances, and one we'll fitted TO adorn
society. She is at present devoting
herself to the care and culture of
her little ones.

1T Is REPORTED from Wash

~ "1T Is REPOhTHD from aSh.
ington that inquiry will be made to
ascertain why the Cheyennes were
allowed to cross the Yellowstone and
Missouri rivers, on the way to Bit
ting Bulls camp, when General Miles
could easily have prevented II, and
possibly captured the hostiles. 1t is
not charged that Miles is to blame,
but the serious charge is made against
Gibbon that he neglected to use the
Information which be had, Of
the movements of the Cheyennes
aud inform Miles, who was not in a
position to ascertain for himself.
Army officers attribute Gibbons fail
ure in this matter to jealoasy Of
Miles, and reason that he did not
want Miles to gain additional laurels
by capturing the Cheyennes, who
had overridden their military depart
anents and evaded the pursuit Of all
the soldiers between Texas and the
yellowstone. Miles and Gibbon are
rival candidates for the next vacant
brigadiership, and it is expected
there viii soon be vacancy by the
retirement of either Nc Dowell or Ord.

republics used to be the people most
shot at and missed, but nowadays
amateur marksmen seem to prefer
kings. In course of time it may
come to be a matter Of generous
rivalry among sovereigns to be the
most shot at; and in view OF this
possibility, King Alphonso is to DO
congratulated on having scored one.
When the shooting is conducted as
it was recently at Madrid, nobody
has a right to say a word against it;
it dues not hurt the king, it amuses
the marksman, and it affords inno-
cent entertainment to very large
number of respectable people.

The wealth of meaning sometimes
conveyed by a single word of slang
spoken at the proper time, and the
popular recognition of its night
ness, were illustrated by an incident
that occurred at Mr.. Beecher's first
lecture in San Francisco. The lect-
ure was prefaced with a glowing
tribute to California hospitality.
Mr.. Beecher said he had "been as
founded at the great west, its people
and its productions but when his

of the Sacramento valley, and thun-
dered through the forest fields of the
continent towards the infant Colos.

AT camp meeting in Kenncsville,
Georgia, an old reprobate while half
seas over, went up TO the altar and
requested the preacher to put up a
special prayer in his behalf. The
preacher pnt it too strong in the con-
fessional department, reminding the
mighty that White was torn down
old sinner, would get drunk, and lie,
and swear, and break all the com
mandments. The old man didn't
like it, and by the advice of young
lawyer sued the preacher for defams-
ton Of character, and the too ardent
preacher was carried to court and
fined $4,000.

the murder instigated by the Public
Administrator of Sacramento to get

years old with whom he was in love;
almost simultaneously man in the

fire to house and committed suicide I;
finally, an old resident of an interior
county of California, after several
days of gambling and dissipation,
scattered strychnine over household
provisions and in water bucket in
the hope of killing his wife and son,
killing his daughter with hatchet
and then blew out his own miserable
brains with a pistol. To these acts
are TO be added the suicides of two
prominent San Franciscoans, one Il

the president of the French Savings

A GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

One of the most important meas
ures, that the next legislature can
adopt, is to provide for complete and
exhaustive geological survey Of Tex
as. 1t is absolutely and imperative
ly necessary, the development of the
State, the encouragement of invest
mcnts of foreign capital, and the in
torests of agriculture depend largely
upon it. The money necessary would
be the best paying investment that
the legislature could make.
There is such thing as being
penny wise and pound foolish and
nowhere Is the liability TO such folly,
greater than in the administration
of public affairs. The failure to car
ry out a survey of the state SO far, is
certainly an instance of that unwise
policy. Months ago the EXAMINER
did not hesitete to affirm from gen.
cral geological considerations based
on the character of the mountain
spurs that Jut into Texas, that the
Western part of the State is rich in
minerals, and also in despite of the
general belief that coal is not to be
found here, that il would probably be
found in large quantities. The first of
those predictions is being proved cor
rect, and the second will be. But
what we know about Texas mineral
resources is but an atom to what we
do not know. Elements of wealth
may be at our very doors unutilizcd
for lack of survey of the state, and
the future greatness of the state re-
tarded for years from the same cause.
Let us by all means have a COM
plete and exhaustive geological
survey. II will be Il better advcr-
Using appliance among capitalists
than a thousand million flaming dod-
gers, and reveal TO us the resources
of state, whose elements of wealth |
thirty feet below the surface, are al
most as mucl, unknown as when the |
indian pitched his tent where cities
low stand.
