Through these months of protracted suffer

Attempting Robbery.

PHILADELPHIA, July 22.-Edward
Morstz, twenty-three years old, of 2l45
North Third street, was shot in the heart
and instantly killed this morning at 3;l5
o'clock by William BatteSby of 2l2I North
Eighth street. Battersby is Il "boss"
huckster, running about dozen teams, He
advances money TO the drivers every morn
ing to procure their stock in trade, and is
compelled to carry large amount. This
morning. on going to his stables, he was
seized from behind by man, who at
tempted to throw him in the feed-box
Battersby managed to break away from the
mans grasp, whom he recognized as
Morstz, a driver he had on many occa-
sions bciriended Battersby warned the
desperate to keep away, as he was armed,
and if necessary would resort to extreme
measures.
Watching his Opportunity the de-
termined Morsz sprang again at Batters-
by. He was thrown of, and the assailed
man drew his pistol. Once more Morstz
was entreated to leave the premises. lie
refused. Upon his renewal of the attack,
Battersby raised his revolver and fired.
The ball entered Morstzs heart, and he
expired without groan. Battersby de-
livered himself into custody. His inten-
ton, he said, was to fire over his assail-
ants head. The dead man was we'll
known TO the police as Il worthless, fight
ing fellow. He undoubtedly wanted to
get possession of the money which he
knew Battersby had in his possession.

Some weeks ago company of gentlemen
came before the city council with an ordin-
ance, which they wished passed, granting to
their company the exclusive right for thirty
years to furnish the town with natural gas.
In other words, they wished to have a mon
opoly for that period of time in furnishing
gas (providing they found it) to our people
for heating and lighting purposes. The
council very properly put its foot down upon
the monster, in the interest of the citizens
of the place. Since then the facts in the
matter have been misrepresented and dis
torted, and much injustice done the council
or certain members of that body. The city
council, from what knowledge we have,
would be quite willing to grant any company
the right to lay pipes and mains in the streets
and alleys, but not the exclusive right, which
is strictly forbidden by statute. This is a
matter of much importance to our citizens,
and if we have natural gas, the city council
will do we'll to guard against attempts to es.
tablish monopoly in our midst, or to Sc
cure exclusive privilege to any company
We understand company has been organ
lied thatit and is ready for business, and will
ask the privilege of using the streets and
alleys in case they are successful in finding
gas. Our council should readily grant such
privilege.
