\ DILEMMA.
10 the Coz.

Treasury Officials In Quandary Concern
ing Certain Appointments.
WASHINGTON, August 30.-The Capitol
saws: The accounting officers OF the Treas
ury Department are in some doubt as to
what they will do with the accounts OF
certain public officers who have been ap-
pointed by the President since Congress
adjourned. They are those whose nOmi-
nations were not acted on by the Senate
II is understood to be held by the Repub-
lican Senators that Section So of the Tenure
of OffiCe Act prevents the reappointment
of man appointed to fill
vacancy before the late session of the Sen
ate whose nomination was not acted upon.
The President, has, however, reappolntcd
a number of men who were in that stu
alton. 1t is understood that he eNamln-
ed the law in the case carefully before
doing so and that he rests his right TO
make these appointments upon the last
clause of the second section of the second
article of the constitution, namely:
1.-The President shall have the power to
fill up all vacancies that may happen
during the recess of the Senate, by grant
ing commissions which shall expire at the
end of their next session
The construction put upon the words,
THAT NAV happen" by the President, IS
understood to give them the effect of the
words, that may happen to exist. 4" This
has been held to be their real meaning by
the Department of Justice under
several administrations, since the
tenure of the Office act was
passed. But some of the accounting Off
GERS of the Treasury are not quite certain
that it would suffer them to approve
the accounts of officers Of this class under
section 1862 revised statutes, which pro
vides an imprisonment of not more than
ten wears or a fine of not more than SO,
600 or both for allowing the accounts oil
persons appointed contrary to the provisions
of the tenure of Office act.

Going for a Quarter:
PTTSBURG, August 3O.-Rcturn tickets
to Cincinnati over the Pittsburg. Cincin-
natl and St. Louis railroad were sold on
the streets here last night and to-day for
twenty-five cents. This is the lowest rate
ever known to Pittsburg, the regular fare
to Cincinnati being $3.50, and is the result
of a fight between the Il. q o. railroad
Company, and the Pittsburgh Cincinnati
and st. Louis The former company ran
an excursion from Cincinnati to this city
on Saturday, the round trip being sold for
$50 and from Columbus $3.50. The
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and 81. Louis did
the same yesterday, and these two roads
brought into the city upwards of two thou
sand five hundred people. The tickets
are good to return until tomorrow, but
about One-thiId of this number does
not want to 90 back so soon. They had
business here or further east, and took adj
vantage Of the cheap rates. As cOnse-
uuence there were several hundred return
tickets for sale The ticket brokers puc-
chased all they wanted, and the remainder
went begging for sale on the street. Some
were sold as high as s., Others for - and
some could not be sold at all.

Two Girls Are the Cause of Man Losing
His Life.
BEVERLY, MASS, August 3O.-Harry
ID. Smith, aged II, son of a Boston mer-
chant, who was spending his vacation with
his mother in Hamilton, went to Lake
ldlewild, Wenham, to swim. He was
taken with cramps and called for aid to
his mates. They supposed him to be fool
ing, and simply laughed. He shouted le-
peatcdly that he WAS not shamming, and
implOred them to save his life. Near BY
was a boat in which two young men and
two young women We're rowing. The
former started to row toward Smith, but
were restrained by their female compan-
ions.
"IOu shall not, YOU shall not, " they
screamed, take that naked man into this
boat The young men were Obliged to
low ashore and land the bluShing girls
before proceeding TO save Smith, and when
they again reached the spot he had gone
down for the last time. His body was re-
covered in an hour, but all efforts at re-
suScitatiOn proved futile.
While the body was being recovered,
mother was suffering severe hyS-
terics on shore, requiring the attention of
= physician and Others to prevent her from
rushing into the water and TO stifle her
At the same time one of the two
modest young women was pacing the depot
platform biting her lips and occasionally
dashing away tear with her delicate jew
eled hand.

THE COMPANY'S LINES.
An Immense Amount of Work Completed
in Short Time.

in Short Time.
The length of the Wheeling Natural
Gas Companys line is twenty-five miles
from its beginning at "Flinn City, in the
Hickory field, to 'GilleSpieville," which
is one and a half miles above the extreme
north end of the city. The former place is
named as above in honor of President
Finn and the latter place in honor of
Superintendent Gillespie. This pipe is all
twelve-inch main.
Two of the other valve houses along the
route are to be named respectively evil
Transport, ~ in honor of Secretary Williams,
and 'ElliOttvillc, " in honor Of Col. Bob
Elliott, one of the directors. The line be-
tween Finn City and GilleSpieyille was
completed last Friday and the gas turned
on that evening, it being allowed to escape
at the latter place.
The line crosses the river at the Laugh
lin mill, and from there to the lower end
of Bellaire it is five miles in length,
being all of twelve-inch pipe. On this side,
from Gillespicville to Hobbs Brockunier
&CO. s Glass Works, there are eight miles
of ten-inch pipe laid, making thirty-eight
miles in all. The pipe was all furnished
BY the National Tube Works, of McKees-
port. What is known rs the Converse
patent Joint Is used on the whole line,
which is the longest natural gas line now
in operation.
Work on the main line was begun on the
18th day of May last and was completed
last Friday, which is remarkably quick
work The first well began boring on the
10th day of May, and came in at depth
of J, 200 feet on the 2Sth day OF June.
There are now five wells in the Hickory
field owned by the company, the pressure
of which runs from $40 to Go pounds.
This will furnish the company with suffi
cient gas, but the terms of their leases call
for the sinking of additional wells, and the
work Of drilling two more will be begun
at once. Besides these six more are drill
ing on the line between Greene county and
this State, three of which are expected IN
hy the middle of September.
In the work of laying their lines the
company has employed between six and
seven hundred men steadily, and some
1000 or 5000 at various times. From
forty to sixty teams were constantly en-
plOyed, and all the men who worked on
the West Virginia part of the line were
local wOrkmen.
1t is learned from a gentleman well
posted in the matter that the Wheeling
Natural Gas Company had its origin
through the enterprise of J. VI. Guffey, the
brilliant natural gas king of Pittsburg,
who at the suggestion of Prof /. c, White,
the well known West Virginia geOlcgist,
leased up 400, 900 acres of territory along
the great oil and gas belt from Washing
ton county, Pa, to Burning Springs, on
the Little Kanawha river. This property
was turned over to the Wheeling Company,
and was the main spring Of its formation,
so that the city is indebted primarily to
Mr.. Gufey for the presence of a competing
gas Company in our city.

Act of Suiciding.
NEW YORK, August 3O.-Anarchist
John kylian, who is under arrest for being
the prompter and moving spirit in the
kahout incendiary murder in East Sixty
fourth street, for which the Kahout broth
erS were sent to sing-Sing prison for life,
one innOcently and the other really gull
ty, tried to cheat the hangman out of a
job yesterday at police headquarters. Po-
lice Sergeant Milegie caught him in the
attempt, evidently TO his great disappoint-
ment When the Sergeant opened the
door of Kylian'S cell, he saw the occupant
standing near the grated window. The
anarchist made "a quick movement as the
door swung open, rs iftO conceal something,
OF as If interrupted in some project in
which the window played part. His
action did not escape the detective. He
called Officer Hanley and with his assist
anee forced the prisoner into another cell.
Then the one he remained in was subject
Ell To thorough search. Between the
mattresses of his bed the officer found
concealed q moose, made Of a strip torn
from blanket and twisted into rope with
a slip knot. Kylian had evidently been
examining the. window bars with a view
to attaching the end of the rope to one
when disturbed by the officer. He was
questioned about it, but took refuge be-
hind his inability TO speak much English.
and merely shook his head sullenly in an
swer TO ali inquiries. A watch was then
set upon him until he was taken to court
and committed to the Tombs.

The story il DisbelIeNell.

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The wife OF
Pavmaster Clerk Myers, of the United
States ship Iroquois, who left. his vessel
two months agoat Callao, Peru, with about
81, 900 belonging to members OF this crew.
Yesterday received Cablegram notifying
her of the death OF her husband. The
cablegram was dated at Lima, Peru, and
WAS signed by sailor on the lrOquols. 1t
stated that Myers was murdered by guides
whom he engaged to conduct him across
the mountains back of Santiago. The VII
ter of the dispatch claimed to have received
the information from the United states
Consul at Lima. Little confidence Is gwen
to the story at the Navy Department; Inc
impression is that it is a device OF Myers
to nut his pursuers off his track.

HOW THEY DO IT.
A A DESPERATE STAND By IRISH TENANTS
AGAINST EVICTION.
4 House turned Into q Fort and Hives Of Bees
and Scalding Water Dumped Upon
Soldiers and Bailifs.

LONDON, August O.-The struggle be-
tween the constabulary and the tenants on
the Marquis of Clanricarde's estate, which
has been going on for the past few days,
has Just terminated in the success Of the
police. The estate of woodford is in the
southeast corner Of Galway, near the lovely
and picturesque Lough Derg. A tenant OF
the name of Sanderson was ordered to be
evicted for non-payment Of rent; but
encouraged by the warm sympathy Of the
whole OF his acknowledges, he deter
mined to resist, and placed his house in =
state of siege. Not content with plough.
ing up the roads in order 10 prevent the
approach of the eonstabulary. trees were
ielled for the purpose of making barbados,
and bridges were destroyed. The amount
of unpaid rent for which Sandeson has
Just been evicted at such large cost To
the State does not amount 10 $50. The
parish priest expresses the warmest SYM
pathy with the tenants.
The scenes ut Woodiord yesterday were
of
THE MOST REMARKABLE NATURE.
4 force of $50 police were engaged, besides
q small army of bailifis and emergency
men. The house WAS occupied by num-
Der Of countrymen, armed TO resist tho
eviction. The roof was loop-holcd and the
storming of the place was n most exciting
affair Scaling ladders and shed, like
Al 4 u Al. IA Ia,
approaching the walls Of bcseiged town
to protect them against the defenders, were
used. After desperate struggle the house
was carried by storm and the police, jump
ing in through the roof, made prisoners OF
twenty of the men. Inside, number Of
the bailil-s emergency men and members
of the police force were injured by scalding
water poured upon them.
A SWARM or BEES
was also Jet loose against them, hut il
does not seem 10 have given them any
trouble. Just before the operations were
begun an estate bailiff of Lord Clanricarde,
named Page, created a sensation by pub
licllly rcsigning his oflicc, and In token
thereof handing over his double-barrelled
gun TO the experimenting priest, who
raised il alot amidst the
intense excitement Of great
crowd. On the police entering the house
q most extraordinary scene was presented.
There was q large fire in the kitchen, with
three pots of water placed over II, aud
bag of lime was lying close at hand. The
water in a boiling condition WAS handed
from the kitchen up 10 the men, who stood
