Gas and Oil.

PlrrsBURe. September 22.-The7 numer-
ard Oil Company of rival natural gas com
panies have confirmed to q certain extent
the statement published some time ago
that the Standard Oil company was nego-
tiating for the purchase of a sufficient
amount OF gas company stock to give it a
practical monopoly OF that industry. In

The former company belongs to the Stand
ard, and il this consolidation is effected the

WASHINGTON, September 22.-Workmen
engaged in tearing the plumbing out of
Secretary Manning's private office, found
in a little closet in the corner a pipe four
inches in diameter, besides several smaller
pipes leading to the sewer without any
trap or continuance to prevent the sewer
gas from coming into the room. These
pipes strike the sewer at it's head where the
greatest amount OF gas is founl. When
the doors and windows we're shut the air
was most oppressive and sometimes in
cold weather Mr. Manning was forced to
open the windows. His physicians pro.
nounceh his disease blood poison from sewer
gas and says it was brought on beyond a
doubt by his sitting in that little room.
