STEUBENvILLE, o., July 1.-THE scale
of prices for natural gas to private con-
sumers issued last Monday, created con-
siderable talk among our citizens, many
ofwhom think the cost too much.
The Jefferson iron works are running full
this week with the feeder nailers, the old
nailers having obtained places at Mingo
and Brilliant All about the mill presents
q scene of activity and hustle that would
lead one to think there had never been
such thing as a strike.
The rain storms of the past week played
havoc with many fine shade Gees in the
city and made gardens and flower beds look
as if a roller had passed over them.
The meeting of the Ohio Institute of
Mining Engineers was the event of the
week. Only few members were present.
but the papers read were of unusual i'm
portance, covering wide range of topics
of interest to manufacturers and others in
terested in the development of our miner
al resources. The papers of Andrew Roy
and J. &. Chamberlain were upon the So
cial and labor questions now agitating ev-
cry employer and wage-wOrkcr, and were
excellent expositiOns of the difficulties and
obstacles that lie in the way of advance
ment of labor. The members were de-
lighted with their reception and treatment
here, and many of them were astOnished
at the vast and varied industries of the
Ohio Valley. On Thursday night they
were the guests ofthe Royal Gas Company,
and were entertained with grand pyro-
technic display at the blow-off pipes oppo-
site the rolling mill. When the gas was
turned into the pipes there was such hiss
ing and roaring that one could scarcely
hear anything. When the gas was lighted,
the flames shot up at least two hundred feet
in the air with boom that sounded
like the roar of distant cannOnading. On
Friday the Institute visited MingO, Toronto
and East Liverpool, and at the latter place
were given complimentary dinner. About
forty citizens accompanied them, and the
inspection of the potterieS was extremely
interesting and profitable
The Knights of Pythias and their friends
who went to the Grand COnclave in Toron-
to. Ont, report the grandest time of their
lives and are infatuated with their Cana
dian neiChbors. They think Toronto one
of the most beautiful cities ever visited
and only wish they could have stayed
longer to enjoy the hospitality so gener-
ously proffered them,

st. Louis, Is making protracted visit to
Steubenyille, his old stamping ground.

salesman Of the c. o. ID. store, is enjoying
himself at his home in Indiana, Pa,
John Nays birthday party on Thursday
night was attended by small but select
circle of his friends, who enjoyed the ele-
CANT lunch and refreshments set out TO
them.
The Steubenville Base Ball club are not
meeting the success on their tour that
they expected. At GAINESVILLE on We'd
nesday the game was called in the ninth
inning on account Of rain with score OF
t-ten to ten, and they were badly defeated
on Thursday and Friday at Zanesvllle.
This is calculated to dampen the ardOr Of
the admirers of the game in this city, but
the club could not be expected to win all
the time as they won twenty consecutive
games. They should be encouraged and not
condemned as many are doing. The cause
of their defeat has not yet been learned,
but it was probably superior playing on
the part Of the Zanesvilles aud thsir
friends in this city should. be manly
enough to accept defeat when finally done.
The fire companies were called out on
Friday evening for the entertainment Of
the visiting engineers and got out in won
derfully short time. The laddies have
trained themselves and horses to a state of
efficiency that is simply wonderful.
