m. Gas Companies and the FrrS""Fe''
The IsrELLla RNCga has regarded as un'
wiae the effort to plsc, low limit on the
natural gas pressure in this city regarding
it, indeed, as better for Wheeling that no
limit be declared by Council until it can
bo said with more confidence how much
pressure ia necessary and how much is
Iaio.
Tho ISTGLLlaEScER also deplores as ex'
trenely unfortunate at this time the con-
Ii,ion of a!!slrs in Council concerning this
mater, We cannot regard 1t otherwise
than as mistake to refuse to listen to men
who,e capital, ssgacity and enterprise
contribute to tho prosperity Of Wheeling
We think the gentlemen who opposed a
hearing erred, and hope that on another
occasion they may take more liberal
view. At the came time the INTELLIGENT
CIR does not impugn the motives OF every
man who does not aSrec with 1t, recogni'
ling that it Is possiblsto be wrong without
being wickedly wrong.
An impression has gone abroad in this
community that the West Virginia Natural
Gas Company has desired to have the
pressure limited TO fifteen pounds. This
seemed 60 absurd that it hardly needed
the pointed denial Of Colonel Thomas
O'Brlen. Vice. President OF that company.
In his card, printed elsewhere, Colonel
O'Bhen rays: ~ do not think | orr when
| ray that tho Natural Gas Company OF
West Virginia has not intertered in this
matter directly or indirectly, and | am OF
tho opinion that il the West Virginia
Company exprCasesitg opinion on the sub
ject Of pressure, It would be that twenty
live pounds or even thirty Is not danger.
ous and should be allowed"
Colonel 0'Brien is not only an officer Of
the West Virginia company, but a citizen
Of Wheeling interested in her prosperity,
a careful man and public spirited man.
Such statement, made by such q man,
ought to silence the rumors which have
implicated his company in an incompre-
hensible schume TO disable itself for tho
mere fun OF tying up lis rival. There is
business enough here for both companies.
Wheeling needs them both, Is glad to
have them, and her people dcOire to treat
them both we'll. Nobody ought to want
to see these companies engaged in any hot
contention in the City Council, and 1t is
to be hoped that nothing OF this kind may
occur OF any time.
Colonel o'Bhen gives tho assurance
that war has not been doclaredby his COM
pany, and that there Is no disposition to
begin hoOtilities. Let US all resolve to
help the gas companies in every right
way, get the gas in use as soon as we can,
and begin to realize oul dream Of largely
increased prosperity.

A boycott El,d.::In suicide,

Chicago Dhpdich,
A boycott resulted in a suicide in this
city Yesterday. Anton kaboCk, q Hun
gsiion, started bakery on Cottage Grove
avenue last spring. His business grew
rapidly and continued profitable until
very recently, when he had trouble With
his workmen. They were careless and
spoiled some OF his bread, and he wished
to make the men pay for the resultant
less, and in the dispute which arose the
union sided with the men. kaboGk was
nsgged in various ways, and became
worried and Respondent, While he was
alone In the shop yesterday morning a
shot was heard, and his vile, running In
found that KahoCk had blown his brains
out. The suicide left pititul letter adj
dressed to the public, saying that the boy
colLing notice published in the Arbeiter
Zsiiung the Socialist newspaper, was the
last straw, and that he could endure his
troubles no longer. The man leaves u
widow and family Of children. The wo'
man was scarcely lees worried than the
man by the persecution, and her con-
dition sinca his suicide is such as to make
her death not unlikely,

IncnmIng Interesting.

A Review OF the Wcck-ThO League NncG
IiccOmIng Interesting.
The League race, so far as the Detroits,
Chicagos and New York are concerned, is
becoming quite interesting. New York
has been coming up with rush, and had
1t not been for unexpected defeats at the
hands Of Boston, St. Louis and Kansas
City would now have been on level
with the leaders. AS 1t 10, only three
games separate the Detroits, ChiCagos and
New Yorks, aud from the way tho big
Eastern team has been moving, 1t Is liable
to step into first place any time. The &C.
QUESTION Of Dunlap by Detroit has not
rendered them impregnable as wa1 ex.
pected, while II does seem they got o
Jonah when they got him. The Browns
have not lost single game during this
trip OF the Eastern clubs and keeps forg-
ing farther and farther away from It's rivals.
Louisville has strong hold now on Sec
ond place and Is liable 10 stay there.
Pittsburgh has recovered third and will
have all abe can do to hold that place, as
Brooklyn and Cincinnati arc right behind.
The Athletics, Baltimores and Nets wind
up the race as usual.

Successful Enterprise which Has Added
New Rolling stock.
Yesterday afternoon the Lancaster and
MillersvilleStreetR Railway company received
a new summer car for their line from the
Dure company, of Wilmington. The car is
larger than those in use by the company,
being higher and much wider. 1t will COM
fortably seat almost fifty people, while a
great many more can be crowded in. The
car was placed on the street at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station at 4 o'clock. Upon
invitation of Jacob Peters number of gentle.
men were given ride in the new car to
Millersville and return. The party included
Mayor Morton, City Treasurer Myers, Coun-
Gilman w. 7. Cummings, Charles DeEues
and A. Nj. Frantz, esqs, Samuel Bausman,
DIR. Thomas Ellmaker, representative of
the lNTELLIGENCERa and others. The trip
was made to Millersvilie in safety, but it was
found that the new car, on account of its
width, ran much closer to the trees by the
side of the track than the others. The party
arrived at Millersville at 5 o'clock, and the
new Car created as much excitement as new
band wagon. An examination of the car
stables was made by the Lancastrians and
they found everything in the best OF order
The company now has five large cars and use
fourteen horses. Seven trips are made to
this city and return every day, aud business
is big on the line. The car company also
runs q stage from Millersyille TO Safe Harbor

Larceny Cases

VIM. Holworthy, charged with the larceny
Of a pair of horse-clippers, the property of
Charles McNay, gave bail for a hearing be-
fore Alderman Deem on Tuesday evening
next. HolwOrthy was formerly in the en-
ploy OF Mr.. McSay, but was discharged
some time ago. The latter missed the clipper
and Investigated the matter. He found that
Holworthy had sold them to another man,
telling him that they were his property. The
clipper was not recovered, "a the third party
sold them 10 a Harrisburg horseman. Mr..
McNay thinks that Holworthy has been
guilty of stealing more than The clippe rs
from him.
A few evenings ago robe valued at g.
was stolen from the front door step OF the
residence OF Geo. w. Killlan, East New
street Constable Barnhold was.n0tiiied and
from information received swOre out search
warrant against Mrs. Catharine Cunningham,
residing Mt No. COZ North Queen street. A
search OF the premises was made, Mrs. Gun
ninghsm appearing to be very indignant
that she should be suspected of stealing.
Nevertheless, the stolen robe was discovered
hanging on the shutter-fastener on second
story back window OF her residence. She
was taken before Alderman Deem, who held
her for hearing.

a PROHfBITIOS LEADER'S VIEWS
Joshua L. BaIiy Speaks slighting,y OF the lie
publican Declaration.


Joshua l.. Baily is one of the leading
spirits in the Prohibition movement in
Philadelphia He thinks the Republican
platform has not been strengthened by the
insertion of the Prohibition plank.
alt comes too late to accomplish what It
was intended to du' said Mr.. Baily,
"for at the Republican convention of two
years ago the temperance organizations OF
the state asked for a declarations in favor of
the submission of prohibitory constitutional
amendment TO a vote of the people, and
that request was refused. The legis-
lsture following was largely Republican,
and Notwithstanding that petitions
were presented asking for the sub
mission OF the proposed amendment
they were rejected. Now that Mr. Quay
sees the rapid capitalization of the young
and vigorous party OF Prohibition, like a
shrewd leader he tries to head OF the advsnc-
ing hosts by having the convention adopt
the plank in question. The Republi-
can Legislature Ot New York, al.
though pledged TO favor constitutional
prohibition failed to make good its
pledge. After the people OF Rhode Island,
by a three-tifths vote OF the electors, adopted
a prohibtOry amendment the Republican
Legislature, being required to provide tor the
execution OF the law, appointed as the
chief administrator a man who had
made himself conspicuous in denounc'
ing the law, thus nullitying the will OF the
people. Would it be wondered at II Prohi.
bitonists should ask themselves the gues
ton whether the Republican party OF Penn
sylvania promises to be any more reliable
| than the Republican parties OF New York and
| Rhode Island? We have in Pennsylvania
| laws to restrict the liquor traffic but in Phil
| adelphia, which has been in the almost un
interrupted control of the Republican party
| for a generation, no effort whatever deserv
ing the name of an effort has been made t
enforce these laws
