The work of extending thc Bridge approaches

Judge Lawrence has granted an order directing
,be Dcpartment of Public Works to make out
the necessary permits. The "pcrhaps III the
case depends upon the amount of business Mr.
Thompson has on hand az present. If his duties
as Nh Clcvclands representative on the Nation

probably have no time to conjure mp any new
trick 10 hinder the Bridge Trustees III this nee

ON his page. disposcs of the whole matter sat
isfactorily. He shows that Mr.. Blaine's recent
letter to Mr.. H. :. Bundy was strictly true and
that those who have maliciously accused hln OF
having recourse to falsehood as glaring as IT
was unnecessary have not only done hlm rank
Injustice but have imposed upon the credullty
of the public. These scandal-mongers cannot
tell the truth about anything Their lalsehoods
are as reckless as they are unprinciplcd.

The matter was up again yesterday at the

The expansive enthusiasm of the Democratic Or
gans the display Of German support for Cleve.
land is interesting. Let 1t be remembered that Q
great proportion of the German voters in this city
have always been Democrats that their number IS
so large that mere fraction Of them would at any
time fill any hall In the city, and that there has
not been election for twenty years in which the
out-and-out Democratic Germans, if specially
invited, would not have turned out as large q
crowd as was gathered on Monday night. The
Cleveland people are catching at straws They re-
oce to find that part of their regular vote Is still
left.
The Tammany nominations for city offices do not
delight the British free-trade organs They press
the fear that Tammany may concentrate its atten-
tion and efforts upon the city ticket, and lot the
electoral ticket take Of itself. Still. we love
him for the enemies he has made" said General
Bragg OF the three Democratic organizations in
this city, the County Democracy has been branded
with the shameless corruptiOns OF Mr.. Thompsons
ring the Irving Hall Democracy has to bear the
load of Sheriff indicted for official rascaty, and
the Iammany organization is the only one that has
not notorious crime In city misgovernment to an
swer for. Governor Cleveland, with a sure in
stinct. chose the County and Irving Hall rings to
be his supporters and masters, and affronted Tam
many Hall by the appointment Of unworthy men
merely because they hostile to that faction.
Chickens of that sort generally come home to
roost
Science is seeking to ,.raw practical lessons from
the recent sessions Of the British Association. 1t
advises the American Association TO group the
papers read at the annual sessions. and also to ap-
POINT set subjects for discussion. assigning the
leaders of the sections to the duty of opening and
conducting these special debates 1t also recon-
mcnds the appropriation Of grants of money to
committees for special scientific work during the
year, and the reduction of the printing account
These excellent suggestions based upon the
experience Of the Older and pros
porous Association. Only five of the
papers read at Montreal will be published
without abridgment in the official volume of the
proceedings. The American Association. with
fewer papers and q membership only One-half as
large. issues az bulky volume every year. Money
ought to be saved in the printing bills and used for
the specific purpose of promoting scientific invcst
cations.
With tho disappearance of gas from many of the
city streets and the substitution of tho electric
lights, the good old custom of putting the names OF
the streets at every corner Is also vanishing. The
globes of the electric lights would make excellent
foil for the street names, painted in bold letters or
figures.

THE GREATEST WE'LL ON EARTH.
An Immense Geyser of Gas Struck ~
HeIiNbuFE Yesterday.

An Immense GeySer OF Gas SIrucR ~
HeIisbuFE Yesterday.
The gas we'll of the world was struck
At Wellsburg, yesterday morning, at
O'Clock, and at this writing is spouting
with force that deties 81. efforts to con.
| troll it. This we'll is known as the Barclay
| No. 3, and is situated between the first
we'll and the river. The town is all torn
up over il, and dispatches dew over the
country, yesterday, announcing it the
greatest gas strike the world ever knew.
On Monday evening" work was suspended
on account of the belief that gas was near
at hand and it was desired to reach 1t early
in the day. Accordingly, early yesterday
morning, the men went to work with the
| expectation of soon reaching the gas, which
expe Citations were shortly realized. About
s o'clock, The drills struck into the grea,
natural reservoir and burst ofIyas followed
that struck fear into the heart OF every
| man at work. When the tools were with
| drawn, the flow was terrific, and small
fragments of rock and earth'dust shot ny
| like blown from a cannon. An attemp'
4 was maze 10 cap Ln6 plpei puL suCu wa
| the force, it was abandoned for The time
being. A large rock was thrown over til,
mouth, but was flung up into the derrick
| like pebble.
Comparisons show the new we'll to be
twice as strong as the first one, and an ex'
perienced gas we'll artisan says it is one
nslf stronger than the famous McGugin
| we'll in Washington county. One of its
| greatest advantages is that it is entirely
dry end free from the salt formations
| which impeded the former one. 1t will b.
| come cted with the town gas pipes and fur
nish enough gas for a city nearly hun'
| bred times Wellsburgs population. Tht
| company will at once clear out the trsl
we'll and the two wi he used jointly. Gas
| stock has t.ken a wepderful boom up Their,
snd manufacturing interests are sure to
follow.
If that well, sa;dAa visitor yesterday
were located that near to Wheeling 1.
would be worth over $500, 0O0."
Wellsburg now stands out with undoubt
| ed manufacturing advantages, and it is the
| General belief that in the near future &
numter of new in6ustries,will locate Their

rhree flowing wells there and two more il
