the breeze increased for some time. The
second heat followed quickly and was won
BY Teemer and Gaudar, the others being 50
far behind as to make it no effort for the
leaders to win and thereby
secure positions in the first race. The third
heat was the best of the score, owing to
the improved condition Of the water Six
men started in the race and all pulling so
close together that it seemed anybodys race
until the stake boat had been turned and
the struggle on the home stretch showed
several stIagglerS. Priddy, who had shown
wonderful rowing qualities before turning,
secured the lead at the buoy and main
tanned to the finish; time 20 minutes and
40 seconds; TenEyck second, in 20 minutes
and so seconds, and WeiSgerber third, in
q minutes seconds. 1t was growing dark
and the winners of the last heat were dis

the race this evening. as they were tired
while all the other contestants had rested.
The referee finally gave them 40 minutes
tor rest, and at eight clock the final race
was called. The six winners above named

certainly it was one of the best contests
ever seen on American Waters. The only

station and an the village of Evansburg
Fights and robber:es were reported and in

The Natural Chs Belt.

1t appears shat the boundaries of the belt
to which natural gas is confined is purely a
matter of conjecture. The average depth at
which it is encountered is about two thou
sand feet. although ssme wells are much
'ess in depth. Valuable wells have been
discovered almost within the city limits OF
Pittsburg; and at Apollo, Tarentum, Bril-
liant, Welsburg, Wheeling, Washington
and MqKeesport At many of the indus
trial establishments Of Pittsburg and vicin:
ty manufacturers are fastening to avail
themselves of this ecomical and invaluable
fuel. Many of the. leading works are con-
sidsring the RELOCATION of their plants ;others
are Fastening to, secure pipeline connec-
tisn with the wells. 1t bids fair 10 reHoiI-
tionize the present means OF producing
glass, iron and many other industries, and
may yet prove the death of distilled gas for
illuminating purposes. Your rival must
use it if he desires to compete. with YOU in
cheap production Wherever wells have
been discovered capital is Immediately at
tracted and thrift is sure to follow.-Ex

A NEW HEAD
To be Put on the Salvation Army From
McKeesPOrt.

b1cheeSpOrt.
The Salvation Army is to receive a new
commanding officer in the person of Capt.
Blackburn, who comes here from McKeeS-
port, Pa. On Monday night the Army at
that place had grand farewell meeting,
and the barracks was thronged with eager
listeners and anxious wonderers. During
the exhortstion of Captain Blackburn three
persons walked forward to the platform and
expressed themselves as being under con-
yiction. One of these in a very few mo-
ments cried aloud, GLORY, glory, praise the
Lord | am savedm and was soon sur
rounded by persons extending congratula-
tons, and offering words of encouragement
to the new recruit. Whatever may be said
about the queer pranks' Of the Salvation
folks upon the streets, their meeting was a
most solemn and effective one, the hand,
shaking and leave-taking, the kissing aud
wall wishing as gone through With " the
officers and soldiers and r.1iany citizens
would have done credi!;; to the honor of an
old fashioned Methodist camp meeting
Capt. Blackburn will be succeeded at Nc
Keepsport by Capt. Kryson, who is said tc
lie lady of much tact and ability and Of
many Christian virtues.

TINE DEMOCRATIC BIRDS
Win the Presidential Pigeon Race at
Pittsbury. .
Cleveland and Hendricks Both Get There
Ahead of Blaine and LOgan---
A Fine Straw.

The pigeon match came of at Pittsburg
yesterday morning and resulted in VIC
tory for the Democratic bird, Cleveland
and Hendricks" both coming in ahead Of
'Blaine" and Logan The history of the
affair, as given BY Pittsburg paper is as
follows
Shortly after the Democratic nomins-
tons were announced Mr. j. c. Hume, OF
East Liverpool o., wellknown fancier of
homing pigeons had occasion to visit this
CITY. One day while in conversation with
Mr.. J. NJ. Gusky, the clother, Mr.. Hume
said that he'was going to have political
homing match between four OF his swifteSt
pigeons two,to represent Blaine and Logan
and the other two Cleveland and Hendricks.
Hume expressed his determination not to
accept any wager upon the result of the
match. Mr.. Gusky promptly offered to
double the sum of S25 on the result, the
amount to 90 to some charitable institution
in this city. City-controller Morrow, Re
publican, and .City-assessor Larkin, Demo
crat were prevailed upon to fly the birds
In the event Of either the Republican or
Democrat birds winning these gentlemen
were to name the charitable institution to
which the purse should be given.
The birds arrived at Pittsburgh yester-
day morning, and were four beauties. Red
ribbons with the candidates names on were
tied on the Republican birds legs, and
white ribbon with the Democratic names
are the other two. All being ready, Con-
troller Morrow, Assessor Lark;ns, Mr.
Gusky, the reporters and the crowd throng-
ed to Gusky's open lot, with Mr.. James
Moore as timekeeper. Controller Morrow
held James G.. Blaine" and VIM. STATE
John A. Logan" while Assessor Larkin
handled "Groyer Cleveland and SQUIRE
VIM. Lindsay Thomas Hendricks" AT
1890 Mr.. Moore counted one, two, three,
and away went the birds. They
shot up into the air amid
the cheers Of the crowd and
made bee line south. At first they flew
toward Duquesne Heights, but then, seem
ing to know they were wrong, commenced
TO circle upward in wide gyrations until
they had attained considerable height, when
he four paused for an instant and then
shot eff to the west straight as an arrow.
Betting had been emphatically discouraged
and in every particular the race was an
honest competition. After the birds had
disappeared the crowd melted away, save
those who fingered around the bulletin
watching for returns. These did not come
until nearly one o'clock, when the following
telegram was received:
EAST LIVERPOOL, o., l2:3OP. NJ.

j. NJ. GUsXY:
All the birds arrived The first was at

the second at six minutes, the. third at IL
