iu angry complaints Hundred Of families
had to resort to laundry stoves for cooking
purposes or eat cold meals. Several
factories suspended work, clerks in
business houses wore overcosts aud schol
ars of public schools where natural gas was
used were dismissed. The cause OF the
shortage of the supply is attributed TO 10
adequate pipesge, the demand being much
larger than usual on account of the cold
snap. The Gas Company will connect

bright red carpet lending an air ofcheeri-
ness and warmth to the hall, which had
been thoroughly renovated since last
spring, while a number Of desks iuclud'
ing that of the Speaker, were decorated
With flowers. Here and there groups oi
members stood chatting and laughing,
political snimositiss being set to one side
for the time being, while the members
took advantage OF the occasion to extend
their acquaintance among their older and
more experienced colleagues. Apart from
the exchange of cordial greetings, the
chief topic of conversation was the pro-
posed change Of rules. The galleries were
crowded, with the exception of the exec
utive galley, which was the only one par
tally filled. The majority Ofths spectators

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY MErsoR

1t Forms the Topic of Scientific
Discussion.
The large meteor which startled quiet
Washington county Sept 26 was the subject
OF discussion al the last meeting Of the
New York Academy OF Sciences. George
F. Kunz, mineralogIst for Tiffany x Co.,
read an interesting paper on the subject
He is collector Of stones Of various kinds,
and in the hope Of getting some parts of
the meteor, he assisted pecunlarily, the
researches Of Professor Tiugley, OF Ale
ghony College, Meadville. Professor
Tipgley spent three days in Washington
county, seeking information Of the inhabi.
tauts in regard to the meteor. he attended
the county fair at Burgettstown in bis
quest, and also instituted search of the
farms for meteoric stones But his search
was practically to no purpose. Nor have
the sensational reports of finding the great
stone any substantiation. The few cleWs
that he could gather were as follows:
At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Sept.
ember &c, many people heard the noise Of
the passing meteor, like the bursting OF a
boiler or heavy. blasting Of rocks. The
sky, perfectly clear lighted up as the
stone passed in southessterly direction
As it went over the farm of John Connor OF
Cauonsburg, the force Of the meteor was
nearly spent. He was 10 his barn at the
time, and since he apparently heard the
noise for longer space Of time than did
the rest of the people who were near its
track, the meteor was presumably going
more slowly. A young man FAMED
Richardson, who was at work iE the helds
on the farm saw the meteor. He first heard
a sharp Kissing noise, tnen what seemed
/ like peal OF thunder, as a dark object
few over his head. Richardson said that
the motion was then OF rapid decent
In this surmise he must have been mis-
taken, as the farm was thoroughly search
ed and no traces were discovered II
would be an easy matter to mistake the
distance OF such flying object and the
meteor probably fell at o long distance
from the young man in some Of the lonely
woods 60 frequent in that part Of Penn
sylvania. The quest will not be discon
tinued, as the meteor must have been o
enormous size, and, if found. will W, II re

A FIERCE CONFEDERATION.
Destruction of n Large Stove works-Fi
Firemen BADLY Injured.

Destruction of n Large Stove works-Fiys
Firemen Badly Injured.
CHICAGO, December The stove and
hollow ware works of Cribben, Sexton 4
Co., on Erie street, near Kingsbury, were
almost totally destroyed by tire which broke
ont at midnight and ragged without CHECK
until daylight The FIRE started in the
carpenter and pattern shop in the fve-story
warehouse. The principal front of the
warehouse was upon Erie street, along
which it stretched for several hundred feet
extending back to the alley toward Ontario
street. To the east of the warehouse
was the foundry, long low
structure, while on the west extended as
far as Kingbury street, the oil works of a.
Y. Page & Co. A strong wind blew from
the northweet, fact which was at ones
noted as fayorsbleto the pTospects for say-
ing the oil works. The iremen directed
their efforts from the Erie street front and
from the alley and a large force Of men, in
cluding Company No. 32 and part of No
II, was stationed in the alley. By one
o'clock, when the whole of the building
was on fire, the roof fell with crash, and
sent hundreds of spectators flying away
from what they believed to be an explosion
Following this. the east wall and section
of the south wall dropped outward over the
roof OF the foundry and into the alley where
the men were working.
The word went around that dozen FIRE.
men were buried under the debris and the
shrieks OF women aud the cries of men
were added to the general disorder. 1t
was found however, that the wall in its
downward course had steered clear of the
majority Of the men, and most of them
escaped injury. Not all, however. The
very edge OF the ruin compsssed detach-
ment working at one side and prostrated
them in q mass of brick and burning
splnters. Their comrades rushed in with
q reckless disregard for life to their rescue,
and in the agoniziDg half hour thai ensued,
dragged out the victims. They were:
JOHN HARNAN, Captain, badly wounded
about the scalp and shoulders and severely
scorched aud scalded.
JAMES LEFEvRE, pipemsn, right leg
broken.
JOHN O'DAY, pipemap. bruised intern.
ally.
Ed CUDNoRE, pipeuan, leg broken in
four places and other wise seriously hurt.
GEoRGE HAcKSETT, pipeman, bruised
and scalded.
All of the injured men have homes, to
which they were removed. Col. James A
Sexton, member of the firm, said that
the building was erected at cost Of $3O,'
900, and was insured for its full value. He
placed the amount of stock stored in the
building at nearly $4,000 stoves, worth
nearly 100000. They were insured for
about $l5O,OOO. A large amount Of valu-
able wood patterns, worth $4,000, would
be total loss. The insurance upon this
stuff was about $3.50 The machinery
in use was expensive and could not be
replaced for leps than $4,000, and was
fully insured. Nearly 500 men are de-
prived OF employment. The tenants OF the
frame houses across the alley escaped the
damage from fire which they at frat feared,
though many we're injured By water aud
some Of them we're exposed to the rigors OF
the cold.
