Natural Gas Reservoirs on Fire
From Lightning.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 25.-The new
Edgar natural gas well, which the Manu-
facturers' company brought in last Satur-
day at o'clock. and which was set on fire
by lightning about three hours later, is
still burning, the flames reaching into the
air nearly 200 feet. No attempt has as yet
been made to eXtinguish the burning gas,
and it is probable that it will be left to blow
and burn for several days. The Duff well
in Murraysvine, which was also struck by
lightning on Saturday, is still burning, and
do attempt has been made to put out the
flames. Considerable fear is expressed in
Murraysville, since the Duff and the two
Philadelphia companies wells were set on
fire by lightning. over the McWilliams well
of the Hartier company. This is the well
that caused the terrible disaster at that
place some weeks ago. 1t has never been
ca sed off, and the gas escapes from the
hole in close proximity to a number of
buildings. The majority of the other wells
in the town not turned into the pipe lines
has been shut in completely, so that no gas
escapes.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Ald. Dixon to-day
secured the pardon of a young man named
w. II. Custer from the house of correc-
ton. He was among some unfortunates
arrested at Lincoln park ON Sunday for
picking flowers, and upon his failing to pay
a fine of 81, imposed by Justice Kersten,
was sent to the lookup to work out the
same. 1t turns out that he was young
man of respectable connections and a. mem
Der of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, and upon being fined wrote note to
the alderman asking his assistance. In
stead of the alderman being communicated
with directly, the note was mailed and did
not reach him until to-day, and in the
meantime the young man had been trans
ported. The alderman was very indignant
over the affair, as was also the mayor, and
at the next meeting of the council he will
introduce an ordinance prohibiting the
sending of persons to the house of correc-
ton, unless the fine imposed is in excess of
S., This, he says, is the first case in
which anyone has been sent out on 81
fine, and 1t will be the last if he can get
the council to act in the matter.

says he and Julius Goffner, the other negro

ALBUQUERQUE, May 25.-A special received
from Winslow, small town on the Atlantic
s. Pacific railroad, states that some of the
Aztec Cattle company's men, who have o
camp on the north line of the Apache reser-
walton, about forty-tive miles southwest of
Holbrook, report that the Indians are getting
reckless, and band have left their reserva-
ton, coming north. These Indians entered
the Aztec camp and stole some provisions and
ammunition. They were seen by the cow
boys, who followed them some distance and
had a scrimmage with them and recovered
the property. 1t is feared by the people of
Apache county that if these Indians come
north they may incite the Navajoes to join
them in a campaign of rapine and murder.
Maj. Warren, general manager of the Aztec
company, is very uneasy, and left for the
scene OF the trouble.

nation Tor safe Robbery.
ST. LOUIS, May 3D.. j, CAVITY, ex-
city clerk, and T. A. Canty, ex-city re-
corder, of East st. Louis. are now on trial
at Belleville, ILL.,, charged with misappro-
priation of the city's funds and the robbery
of the safe in the treasurer's Office. The
crimes are supposed to have been commit
ted about two years ago, and in the mean
time Thomas Duffy, lieutenant of police
has been tried and convicted of the latter
offense, and is now serving a sentence of
five years in the penitentiary. During the
proceedings in the court yesterday Duffy
was placed on the stand and made con-
fessOn, which, if it shall remain mistaken
by subsequent testimony, will undoubtedly
convict the CAVITY brothers. Duffy testified
substantially as follows:
In March, 1854, CAVITY and witness were in
Shea's saloon in East ST. Louis, when CAVITY
remarked that he had lost money at poker
and he wished some one would blow the Mar
ket house to hi. The next day he said if
we could
MAKE A GOOD HAUL.
CAVITY promised to have everything put in
readiness for working the job. Duffy then
got Clark and Egan, two of his subordinates
and so informed CAVITY. He told witness
Wnen CnitlSS were Teduy TO let MS DrOtner
Tim know. l first consulted Egan. and he
got man. At our last meeting CAVITY told
me to get in the vault and we could find the
safe door unlocked. The first time 1 saw
Canty after the robbery he told me to keep
from getting drunk and talking, and if I got
in any trouble he would back me up.
When witness was arrested. he said Hal
loran and Mayor Bowman had offered $500
to him if he would implicate the Cantys,
but he did not take the contract No one
offered to secure his release or decrease his
term of imprisonment in the penitentiary
for testifying against any one. Witness
told Clark and Egan that CAVITY had said
there was no danger to be apprehended.
When arrested CAVITY told him not to squeaI
and he would come out all right. D. j.
CAVITY was put OH the stand and denied each
detail of the above confession, after which
the court adjourned until to-day.
