WELLsBuRG, December l0.-The readers
of the REGISTER who ore acquainted with
the use of natural gas in Wellsburg, were
doubtless much surprised at an arucie IN
this mornings issue Of the paper headed
The Invisible Fuel &C." None were
more surprised than those knowing the
ac.uol facts on the subject discussed, and
probably no town or community has more

It is true there was q scarcity tor

for all purposes and q surplus was allowed
10 escape at the waste pipes under pres
sure of fourteen pounds to the square
inch: since that time our factories and
citizens have had an abundance OF gas
and are not using coal or other fuel.
Il is true. that like all gas territories
the supply of gas at Wellsburg is diminished,
This is accounted for in several ways,
some claiming decrease in the reservoir
By the sinking Of 30 many wells tnat 1t lie

Others say that the saline substance com:
ing from the gas bed, rock or shaie and
from the salt water collects against the
porous rock or shale from which the gas
comes and closes up the pores and pre-
vents the gas from escaping, except when II
collects in sufficient quantities TO torce an

Of virtue. 1t seems that she, short time

and up to this morning could not be found,
Nov tt turns out that Swayne, laat night,
was united in marriage TO Miss Maud,

bride and groom, with brother,
arrived here early this morning on the

but Swayne, who, it is supposed, was fear,
ful that the deserted victim would be on
the trail, proceeded to the outer depot,
where he intended to board the train, but
the officers were on the watch. The fellow
ran for dear life, but was captured after
severe struggle. He fought the officers all
the way to the jail, where he was landed,
while his bride of one night was carried
away on the train which pulled out on
time. The anxious young wife, who
watched in vain for the appearance Of her
husband, was almost frantic when the train
reached Belpre, where she was duly no,i-
fed by telegraph Of the tate of her hus-
band. She was prevailed upon by her
accompanying relations TO continue the
Journey, with the understanding that the
iIl.!ated husband would follow as soon "a

The Federation of Labor Unions Consider
the Resolution Favorably.
WAsHISGTw, December l0.-The FEEDER
alton of Labor Unions resumed it's session
to-day and took up Tor consideration q res
olution providing that the eight hour rule
shall take effect from May /, next. The
question caused general debate and de.
yeloped diversity of opinion ns to the best
method of accomplishing the desired re-
suit. Some Of the delegates favored q
gradual change. some proposed line for
working over hours, others favored reducing
wages with the hours, Others urged that
double pay be exscted for extra wor K and
others advocated general consultation
with employers in order to secure united
action. An amendment which provided
that thorough canvass should be made In
special trade for the purpose OF securing
the co operation OF as many as possible In
carving out the resolution, was adopted
Before q final vote was taken upon 'he
resolution, it was explained that its adop'
ton did rot compel any organization
which did not feel strong enough to carry
into operation the eight hour Law. The
intention was not to force strike or to
compel an organization to do what they
did not feel able to do With this under
standing it was said that all the delegates
were in favor OF the resolution. 1t was
thought that the resolution in its present
form did not convey this intention as
clearly IS it should and it was referred to
the Committee on Resolutions for revision.

Frederick GIatzer and Frederick Sum-
