There is no special rush but steady
flow of emigration of parties who have
money, and they come from all direc-
tions east, north and south. Three par
ties came from St. Paul lately, bought

men with money, but persons who have
to depend on their labor only for liv-

widowed mothers residence, and was
accompanied by over one hundred per

river kept sharp lookout for youno
Allmono's body. When about q mile
this side of New Castle, they noticed a
terrible sickening odor which seemed
to proceed from the thick reeds along
the shore. Thinking perhaps that the
body might be concealed in the reeds
the boat was headed for the shore, ana
after search 1t was finally found a.

the water and placed 1t in an ice box.
In the meantime Mr.. Almond sent
word that the body was found to DR..
Shortidge, James 81. Beggs, A. Il. P.
Barr and Thomas Lawson, and they
drove directly to New Castle. Upon
their arrival they were met by County

Natural Gas va. Coal

In his testimony in damage suit a
Pittsburg, Wednesday, General super
|intendent Gillespie, OF the Philadelphis
Natural Gas Company, gave some strik
ing figures in regard to the rapidity
with which natural gas is supersed ins
coal in that greatmanufacturing centre
He gave the opinion, from best data
that could bs obtained, that there are
displaced daily in the city Of Pittsbure
z6o. 600 bushels of coal by the use OF
natural gas. At the time of the intro
duction of natural gas he estimates
there weI from 10000 to 1S0, 900 tons
of coal used daily In Pittsburg, Ale
gheny and the surrounding towns, In
1888 one or TWO mills in Plttsburg COM
menced using the new fuel, and since
the consumption has gradually increae-
ed in such degree that all the COM
panies engaged in the business have
been kept busy laying pipe to supply
abe demand. In Mr.. Gillespie's jndS-
ment there will practically be no coal
used In Pittsburg within two years, for
the reason that 'gas is cheaper fuel,
very much cleaner and more convent
ent in every way" Mr.. Gillespie does
not seem to contemplate q possible ex.
haustion of the supply Of natural gas.

A story of = spaith.



Ex-Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury Coon told this story to group ol
friends at the Fifth Avenue Hotel lasi
evening: "When the Joint High
Commission was sitting in Washing
ton few years ago, the proceedings
were held behind locked doors; and
the greatest pains were taken to keep
the proceedings strictly secret. In
spite of this many of the most import
ant results of the discussions leaked
out and found their way into print.
Scott Smith, the well-known Wash
ington correspondent, was known to
be telegraphing the news to a syndi-
cate of newspapers. and Secretary oil
State Hamilton Fish was terribly
worked up over the matter. He
brought several detectives from New
York to Washington, who were ,in.
known to the department officials, and
placed them to shadow Smiths house
and office to ascertain, if possible, who
It was that was furnishing him with
the information.
The vigils were truitless and the
news continued to be ps,ntct ls.th
daily regularity. Unable longer to
conceal his annoyance, the Secretary
sent for MIR. Smith and told him that
his course was unpatriotic
Nonsense" said Smith; "it is all
true, isn'tit? 1t is news, and that is
what l am sent here to get." But he
did not tell the Secretary, what was the
fact, that he regularly met q member
of the commission every morning at 10
O'Clock, from whom he obtained de-
tailed account of the previous day s
proceedings. Finding that persuasion
was useless, the Secretary finally said
''Smith, have got nice foreign
consulship worth $5, 900 q year. which
| wish to offer you, and to offer which
was my main object in sending foI
you."
Cant accept it, Mr.. Secretary
couldn't afford to do So"
'Whatp exclaimed Mr.. Fish in
amazement, can't afford to accept a

pen. To speak plainly, Mr.. Secretary,
/ could not afford to take your place
and work for the salary you work
for
"Mr. Fish looked at Smith with pro-
found amazement," added Mr.. Coon,
"but his views of the value of the ser
vices of trained newspaper writers
poobably soon afterward underwent a
change"

The President yesterday signed the

signing it the President says:
