A Rockawsy Beach telegram OF August
4fh says: A most thrilling escape from
drowning and q courageous rescue by Mr..
w. G. Donaldson occurred here Tonight.
Shortly after dusk Miss George Floyd, OF
-. Louis, In company with two lady
Trends, was seated on the outer end OF the
iron pier. As she turned her head to look
oeeanward she lost her balance and fell
into the surf. Mr.. Donaldson, who was
standing near the ladies', without a mo-
nunts hesitation leaped after her, aud sue
ceeded In grasping her by the arm as she
was sinking FOR the last time. Ropes were
hurriedly thrown them, but toe tide had
carried them far beyond It's reach.
A catamaran was launched, and after
considerable bufleting with the surf it sue
ceedod in reaching them and bringing
them ashore. Both were unconscious.
DIR. Charles S. Mann restored Mr.. Donald
son. II was feared that Miss Floyd was
beyond help, but Miss Kane, who accom-.
panied her, said late In the evening that
she was cut OF danger. The greatest ex-
element prevailed during the rescue, az
The couple were out Of sight. owing 10 the

A Pittsburgh (Ps.) SPECIAL Of the sth
says: After continuous drilling for thirty.
one days strong flow OF natural gas was
struck this afternoon At the we'll Of Parks
Brothers X Co., in the central p,rt OF the
manufacturing district Of the city. This
company owns one OF the largest steel,
works In the United States. When the
well reached n depth Of 1900 feet last
Saturday . vein OF salt water was
struck. Several feet lower the drill
entered gas sand, and dow OF
srIth a pressure OF eighteen pounds,
eusued. This is equivalent to q pressure
Of IT'S pounds when the saltwater flow is
stopped. When lighted, the gas burned
upsevsral feet. This strike IL looked upon
As Of great importance here, as it demon
straies the fact Of vast deposit Of natural
gas underlying the entire city. Parks
Brothers works have been operated BY
natural gas piped eighteen miles from But
Ter county for six months, with very salts
factory results. Several other msnufaeto-
1es have commenced drilling, and about
twenty more derricks will be erected shis
week. As yet there are but two other
wells in active operation IN this county,
and both are several miles from the city.
