No GAs.-There is every prospect that the
city will be without gas for several days yet
as the pipes are full of water, which it requires
some time to pump out. The main tank at
the works which contains the gas is two thirds
gas and one-thrd water In the center is a
large pipe which connects with the mains
This water froze about the pipe and it was
rocked by the wind until it broke below the
sheet of ice. The water then poured ill., filed
the pipe and shut off the gas Yesterday some
10 900 feet of gas were allowed to escape, and
the fire steamer was set to work pumping the
water from the mains. On account of there
being no gas the Nick of the Woods perform
ancs was again postponed. Those who have
purchased tickets can have their money back
or keep them until the next performance,
they being good until that time. The next
performance will probably take place week
from Tuesday.
The proposed relief movement has also been
postponed, as there is no certainty of gas this
evening Mr.. Garrison telegraphs that he
will give his performance exposing spiritual
ism if he is obliged to use the headlights of a
locomotive. If he gives any dark seance
tricks gas will not be needed
THE LATEsT.-At IL o'clock last night the
APPEAL reporter learned that they had sue

though not certain that every thing will be
smoothly by this evening. and at all |

up against something, and hang me by the
heels, if the hollow of the tree hadn't stopped

happened to have small saw in my pocket,
and | sawed off the top of the tree and
stuck nay head out in open daylight. 1t took
me twenty four hours to saw that tree, and
the bear was getting so thin that he crawled
up about an inch an hour, and got out Just
in time"

Cary.
Mr.. Driesbach remarked that in getting
himself out he thought that he was in big luck.
II had just auch an experience once in
Kansas. " remarked Mr.. Cary. "But it ended
different. [ had the bear in the hollow tree
Just as you did, but after got down from the

After the explosion you should have seen that |
bear soaring in the sky. He shot up over
quarter of mile and while he was in the air |
brought my trusty rife to my shoulder and |
nailed him with half ounce ball. AS luck |
would have it, however, some half dozen
bear hunters in the vicinity saw him 60 up and
Ill blazed away. He had seven bullet holes
IN him when he came down, but the one be-

"What was your private mark I" asked the
District Attorney.

OLD MAN CANNON AGAIN.-Ye sterday after
Chinatown turning summersaults along the
street and trying to kick the roof off some
celestial shanties, They were arrested and
placed in the lock up on the charge of drunk-
enness When sobered up they said they had
purchased FIVE bottles of liquor from old man
Cannon, and attempted to drink the FIVE bot
ties between them. This man Cannon, of
whom the APPEAL has before had occasion to
speak, is disgrace to the community and
has been plying his nefarious traffic for a long
time. He has but recently served term in
the County Jail for the same offence and has
| been before the Police Court half dozen
times. He claims that he is prosecuted and
seeks to excite sympathy on account of his old
age and blindness His continued violation
of law has placed him beyond the reach of the
sympathy to which his gray hairs and failing
vision might have otherwise entitled him
He should be again arrested and served with
a sentence which will make lasting example
Of him.
SPIRITUALIsM ExPosED.-W. W. Garrison
will appear at the Opera House tomorrow
night in his exposure of the manner in which
spiritualistic mediums play upon the credulity
of the public. He claims to be able to dupll-
cate all the tricks of leading mediums. Mr.
Garrison was for long time associated with
Prof Baldwin, the famous spiritaalistic ex
nd hos trn nv
tigating the subject. He causes a pencil to
rise up on end and travel back and forth |
across slate without any visible agency, and |
when shut up in a sealed cabinet on the stage, |
appears again ia a few moments afterwards at |
the front door of the theater. He reproduces
and explains the Katie King naturalization
