What the Prospect for Finding Natural
Gas II.
The natural gas men are all agog again
and it looks as though something were going
to move very shortly. The experimenters

and Albert hcIatirs will opoa bids tomorrow

II. Frey is organizing a company with p. p.
Mast, John Foos and Others to start well
on his property about 1000 feet above the
original find. The arrangements are by no
means complete NJ yet bat the pr, liability
is that all the PARTIES interested will "chip
in to pay for the boring OF the first we'll,
which will I've put in either on the original
claim or Oh Frey's property. Those interest
ed in the matter are becoming more con-
'inced every day that they have struck it

menters digging all week to try to strike the
vein and find the most appropriate location
Tor the we'll The testing of the gas by PROT.
Smith is still 10 process. So far he has
found SO per cent. of pure marsh gas, the sub
stance which forms the bulk of the gas iu
the Pit,sbnrg wells. The other ID per cent.
are foreign substances, and they are now lest
ing for entholine, which furnishes the illumi-
mating qualities, Those who have studied
the matter agree on the theory hat the po-
s'tion OF the rocks at that point was caused
by an eruption and not by the wear OF water.
II such is the case, there is no certainty where
they will strike rock in the boring.

Mr.. Oil er s. Kelly and Cbss. W. Con stan
tine, committee OF the Jail hill pro,estants TO
bear the protest to Washington aud present
the matter to the government officials there,
returned here last evening from performance
OF that mission and report that they accom-
plished every object they had in view in &C.
ing to Washington to their full and entire
satisfaction. They were provided not only
with the formal protest, signed by thou
sands OF our Taxpayers and citizens
generally. but with large charts
and maps OF the city, showing
the several lies proposed tor the new govern
ment building, and their relative situation as
regards the business districts and most thickly
inhabited portions of the place. The COM
mittee was well received at the treasury de-
psrtment aud their business referred TO the
government supervising architect, who exam
ined their papers and listened attentively to
statements made. The substantial and prac-
tica, result OF these interviews was that the
government authorities agreed to send IN ex-
pert special commissioner to this city some
time within the next two weeks. He
will personally inspect the sites
proposed and hear arguments and
evidence in favor or against them,
all hill included, after that making his
recommendation to the government, which
will probably he accepted as final. This is all
the committee from here asked or desired a, d
they return jubilant over their success, which
is also cause OF no small qualification to the
large mass Of pro,esters. The Springfield
gentlemen called the attention Of the author-
tiles to the West and adjoining property,
southwest corner Market and High streets but
it was stated to them that not abov. s2O, 900
of the 100000 appropriated could or would
be devoted to the purchase OF the lot. As
S65,000 is asked for the required ground
at that point the balance over $4,000 is
rather more than can be raised by private
condemn land for such purposes the chances
for securing that site are rather dubious.
Mr. Kelly and Mr.. Constantine are greatly
please d " 18th the manner 10 which they were
received at Washington and the facilities
given them Tor ,ransacting their business
prom pity, and while nothing was said indi-
eating the sentiment of those having the
final disposition OF the matter, they are conf
dent such a showing Can be made TO the
special commissioner as to influence decision
in favor OF a more central and accessible 10.
cation than the Jail hill lot.

over $500 Worth of Clothing stolen from
Tailor Shop.
Quite an extensive burglary WAS commit
ted during last night at the tailoring estab-
lishment OF II. Willenborg, on West High
street, just a few doors west OF Market. When
Ar. Willrnborg opened his shop this morning
he discovered that the window in the rear OF
the room was opened aud all the made.up
goods on his rack we're gone. The job had
evidently been deliberately planned and exc
cuted by gang of men who came provided
with wagon to remove the goods. Be-
ing the shutters OF the rear window had
been closed. the window let down and stick
placed as a brace between the lower sash and
the top. However, space OF . few inches
had been left open at the top OF the window.
The burglars bad pried of couple of stats
from the shutter and unfsstened it; had
climbed upon store-bOx at the window,
reached in, removed the brace and opened
the sash at the bottom. The multiplicity of
tracks in the back yard showed plainly that
at least three or TOUR men had assisted in the
operation. They had driven their wagon in
the alley in the rear and climbed the back
fence to get to the window. Once in, the
goods had been handed out OF the window
to parties on the ou side who had carried
them TO the wagon. Mr.. Willenborg thinks
bis total loss will aggregate over $500.
Among the goods missing are ten. pair, of
pante, fun suit OF blue, three coats, vest,
and tour almost new bolts OF cloth not yet
made up. Willeuborg comp lained to the po-
lice at once aud Officers Norton and Mast
went down to look over the ground The
officers have no definite clue as yet TO the
perpetratOrs.
