DECETTFUL GAS.
A Disastrous Explosion at sharPsbarg,
PennSylVania.

A Disastrous Explosion ut SharPsbarg,
PennsylVania-
PIrTsBURG, January l9.-At 3 quarter
after ten o'clock this morning Moorehead
Bros. & Co storehouse and mil, situated
at Sharpsburg, took FIRE from sn explosion
Of natural gas. The mill has not been run
ming for over FIVE months, and recently the
proprietors determined to put natural gas
in their works, and for this purpose they
laid pipes down Main street to the mill.
This pipe was laid under their office, which
is at the eastern end of their works, and it
was in this Office and mill store that the
gas FIRST exploded N. 7. A. Reed,
the shipping clerk, was in the
Office at the time and at the hour mentioned
he noticed small blaze, the gas having ig.
nited at the store. He Immediately started
for the door, and had almost reached it
when the explosion occurred. The force OF
il was sufficient to shake the building so
completely that the roof fell in, and Mr..
Reed made his escape just in time to save
his life. Bricks, sticks of wood, and other
portions Of the building were thrown con-
siderable distance, while the window glass
in almost all the stores in the neighborhoOd
we're shattered by the shock. immediately
following the explosion the building caught
fire, and it looked very much as if the
entire property would have be destoyed, but
word was telephOned to Pittsburg aud Al
legheny for assistance. Fortunately the
wind was blowing away from the mill prop
erty, and this and the eXertions Of the fre
men saved the mill proper, but the building
used for the store and Office, two story
structure about sixty feet square, was soon
burned to the ground There were about
$4,000 worth of goods in the store, and
these, together with the building will foot up
. loss of about $4,000 or $4,000. The
firm was insured for S95 900.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the citizens
were holding an indignation meeting, and
there were threats made to tear up the COM
pany's pipes. 1t is stated that when the
pipe was put down in the street the work
men put wrought iron pipe over hre IN
order to bend it, and that weakened the
pipe. which caused the leak. Some time
ago the borough councils gave the Westing-
house company leave to lay pipes over Clay
ana Canal streets, but subsequently resclnd-
ed this action. Mr.. Geo. Westinghouse, who
was at the scene of the explosion, does not
think the explosion was caused by the bent
pine referred to above. He states that
a very small leak would be sufficient. 1t is
the companys intention to replace their
pipes with double pipes hereafter and thus
prevent the possibility Of explosions. He
also stated that fault Was partially due to
the fact that the workmen had turned on
too strong pressure OF gas into the pipes
about four times as much as it was intended
the pipes to carry.
The citizens Of the borough are very in
dignant at the Councils action in allowing
the gas company to lay the pipes through
their streets, an1 threats were openly made,
BY good responsible citizens, Of tearing up
the mines.

Nellie C. Bailey, the beautiful siren, for the
murder of Clement Bothemly in the Indian
Territory, on the 18th Of October. 1884. be-
gan Yesterday and damaging case is being
made against the fair prisoner. Owing to
the wealth of the murdered man, the cold

of the defendant the case is the sensation OF
the hour. Nellie Bailey is brunette, now
about twenty-five years old. She is well ed

Bailey is accused OF killing, was wealthy
Enghshman, and'a member OF the British
association. 1t is said that his relatives,
also very wealthy. reside in London. He
first met Mrs. Bailey in St. Louis, became
infatuated with her, and they lived together
as man and wife he was several years her

continued the relations existing between
them for the purpose only OF getting pos

assumed his name and represented herself
as his sister. About the lsf OF October,
1883, Bothemly and the woman started over
land for Texas with 1000 head Of sheep and
two teams, accompanied BY William Hod-
SOD, a man whs had been hired by Both
emily to help drive. That was the last heard
of the party, but the evidence showed that
on the 7th Of October, while
they were travelling through
the Indian territory, she shot Bothemly and
buried his body at Skeleton ranch. She
then took possession of his trunk, contain
inc iewelry and diamonds valued at 81 900,

Mrs. Green's Relations with the Failed
Bankers of New York.
NEw YORE, January l9.-The deposit
which Mrs. +. II. Green, the richest woman
in America, sought to withdraw from John
J. Cisco & Son, the bankers, was not 81 ,500,-
900, as reported, but only 100000. The
statement is made upon the authority Of
gentleman who is wei acquainted with the
affairs Of the firm.
Mrs. Green and her father, from whom
she inherited her wealth" said the inform
ant had kept an account with Cisco Il Son
for many years. When she heard the ru.
NOR as to the firms solyeEcy which was put
ahoat two weeks ago, she at once wrote to
the firm from Bellows Falls, VT, demand
ing the transfer Of her account to another
bank in this city. The Clscos wrote IN
reply that they could not paw out 100000
in cash on such short notice without preju-
dicinv the intrests of other creditors. They
asked for time, and said all would be right.
She wrote back, insisting upon haV-
ING he money st once. The
firm wrote in reply informing
Mrs. Green, it is said, that her husband
owed them about $SOO,0 900. She refused to
recognize this claim, and threatened to
bring suit at once for her money. Then
the krm made an assignment so as to put
all their creditors on an equal footing.
This is the true story Of Mrs Green sre-
latious with the firm. If she had not been
30 unfortunate for her money, the house
would probably not have been obliged to
suspend. Mrs. Green is very wealthy
woman. She is worth shout $4,000, 900,
and there are $26,O00OOO worth Of her
securities in he Cisco vaults. Of course
they are not affected by the failure, as they
