customers, whose business Dickinson
was in the habit of looking
after. They denied that they had
given Dickinson orders to purchase the
stuff He was brought before the receiver,
and, it is said, confessed in the presence of
four witnesses that he had made the trades
for himself and charged them to the GUS
toners accounts. Dickinson was asked to
surrender his membership TO partly liquidate
his indebtedness, but this he refused to do.
Threats of having him expelled from the
board failed to move him, and charges of
dishonOrable conduct were accordingly filed
with the directors. Dickinson Immediately
flied elaborate charges of swindling practices

and specified individual cases, giving
names, dates and figures where Gus

Pittsburg's Gas Supply.

PITTsBURG. Sept. 22.-The reports cur
rent iii the East that the natural gas supply
of Pittsburg was diminishing and would
soon fail, are pronounced entirely without
foundation by the officials of the various
companies. Three hundred and ffty-four
million cubic feet of gas come to Pittsburg
every day, and the supply is still increas-
ing. In the case of at least twenty wells
owned by different companies and which
have been shut off for periods ranging from
two to thirty days, the pressure has been as
great when the wells were reopened as
when they were shut down. The gauges of
the wells at Murraysville show from $50 to
to $40 pounds. and many of these wells
have been used since the Philadelphia COM
pany began operations in 1884.
