When the intoxicated individual heard the

THE APPLICATION OF GAS.
"Cold Shorty Chat about the Working OF
The New Fuel.

Gold Shorts" Chat about the Working OF
The New Fuel.
Gold Short" in his letter in the last is
sue ofthe St. Louis Age of steel, says:
Natural gas has been supplied to the
Wheeling mills and the experiences have
been most satisfactory and resultfnl. In
the Bellaire Company's steel plant the re-
suits have been very gratifying. After be-
ing subjected to the effects of the gas in the
soaking pit, the ingots rolled out rs softly
ms a sponge and as smoothly rs n sheet of
paper, the number of passes requisite be-
ing three less than by the former soaking
heat. At a merchant mill, the Standard,
the pressure in the steam hOilers was raised
from 500 to 800 in one minute and q half,
the gas pressure being two ounces. In 4
green heating furnace the first heat was
gotten out in forty minutes and 1t was de-
cidedly Il better heat in all respects than
has ever been procured by the Use of man
uiactured gas. When rolled into sheets
it manifested extraordinary sOttness and
s%moOthneSS. SO far natural gas has pro-
duced results much more advant lgeOus
than has been anticipated. 1t is claimed
that when coal was used i'll the boiling or
pudding furnaces that go new fire brick
were needed every two weeks for repairs;
with natural gas about 30 are required;
fifteen bushels of fire clay were required,
| with gas five will do the work.
Squares and stacks need no repairs, as the
gas heat does not reach or affect them. Or
course with the advent of the gas pessi-
mists are busy agitating the question as to
its p%ermanency. The best way to AN
swer a fool' might be according to his
folly"-to tell him that ''innards' of the
earth were burning up and passing off in
the shape of this gas. When they arc gone
we will have gone with them and the solu-
ton ofthe problem will not concern us.
Experience in the fields which have been
supplying Pittsburgh teaches us that 1t Is
cratic in flow, bat science, which is con-
stantly employing all of its aids accesso-
ries and accomplishments in investigating
this element, is daily giving strong assur-
ances that the supply will be permanent.

Said He wouId XIII Himself.

A drunken chap who had the next thing
to the jim jams, appeared in q certain
South Side drug store at noon yesterday,
and declared his intention of committing
suicide, He first wanted to secure poison,
but being refused by hedruggiSt, hepulled
a pop out Of his pocket and began waving
it around wildly. The druggist thought
if any shooting was to be done he would
take a hand in it, and proceeded to arm
himself, when the man with the Snakes"
subsidized, and left the store with the avow-
ed intention Of shooting himself. As no
such event has occurred the fellow has
probably changed his mind, but he will
confer a favor on the hungry reporters if
he will carry out his original intention.

They Call Upon the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly for Aid.

Call Upon the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly for Aid.
The band of misguided compositors who
are seeking through means the most deS-
picable and unmanly, to force the propri-
etors of the morning newspapers to acceed
to a scale of prices, based upon the same
sort of thing which prompts the road agent
to ''hold up" the helpless passenger or the
hichwayman to force the belated pc
destrian to turn his pockets in
side out, have come to the
conclusion that nothing shOrtOf brute force
can bring about the accomplishment Of
the ends sought to be attained, and have,
therefore, mOmentarily turned aside from
the regular work of maltreating newsboys,
b~oycotting boarding house landladies and
threatening ~salOOnists with loss of patron
aye their most effective weapon, by the
way to make an appeal for aid and en-
couragement to the Trades Assembly of
the Ohio Valley. This organization met
in Martins Ferry, yesterday,
and the principal business
transacted was the hearing Of a state
ment from q committee of Typographical
Union No. 49, conveying their side of the
strike, and calling upon the Assembly to
take up the cudgel in their behalf. What
action the Assembly took in the matter
could not be definitely ascertained last
evening, rs the injunction Of secrecy seems
to have been put upon everybody present,
but it was said last night that the assem-
bly, had agreed to champion the u OF
the printers, and had appointed q commit
tee 10 canvass Martins Ferry to induce
subscribers of the REGISTER and bteLi-
geaecrto withdraw their patronage.
Mr.. Louis Lepper, proprietor of the
TOIkSblOn has, from forces of circumstances
acceded to the exorbitant demands of the
printers and agreed to pay them their scale
of prices after Friday next. Mr.. Lepper
SAYS he signed the scale to avoid the trOu-
Bile consequent upon getting out his paper,
while the printers were on q strike, and 1t
is also understood that he could notsecure
enough hands to set type, which was one
reason that he was placed under the ne
cessity of aeeeding to their demands. He
/ will otherwise cut down expenses to make
up for the increased cost OF type set
ting.
If the columns of the EreRiRy BOycOHer
were the same width as those of the morn
ing dailies, Union rats who are working on
that sheet, would receive about $l.4O per
yard for setting the type. When long
primer type on daily paper becomes the
rule, we would suggest the use of the yard
stick as q means of measurement. 1t is a
much quicker method, yen know.

CHARLEsToN, s. c.. September "a.
Letters having been received from all
parts of the country asking whether the
period Of great distress in Charleston
had not passed, the statement is author
lied that the Relief Committee, through
the generosity Of their follow.country-
men, feel themselves in position to
furnish subsistence and temporary shell
ter to all who need it; but, at the same
time, the committee estimate that the
relief funds at their command or in pros
pect fall short Of the money needed
to put in an inhabitable condi-
tion the homes Of persons who
are unable to repair their
buildings without public aid. Govern
ment engineers have inspected 800
buildings out Of 700 in the city and esti-
mate the damage to those inspected at
$22. 600, 900. Their inspection, how
ever, covers most Of the costliest struc-
lures. The Relief Committee in assist
ing the needy householders to make
the residences habitable will deal first
with those whose losses are small, the
object being to make as many roofs a.
possible tight, foundations secure and
chimneys safe before the cold weather
comes. Homes Of widows and orphans
and other helpless persons will have
paramount claim. No loss of any per-
sons owning more than one house will be
considerdered at this time. The inten-
tion also is to disallow all claims for
plastering as not being indispensable to
reasonable safety and comfort. The
Subsistence Committee have supplied
nearly all persons requiring provisions,
and the number Of rations issued to-day
was the smallest since the commission
was established. The force OF clerks
and the working force Is being gradually
reduced. To-day was very quiet, no
shocks were felt here only slight tre-
NOR ct Summerville. Business ie active
and the merchants are hopeful.
