Natural Gas.

One of the last bills passed by the
Legislature was to charter the Hop
kinsville Petroleum and Fuel Co.
1t is stock company and has been
granted the exclusive privilege of
furnishing natural gas to the city for
30 years. The incorporators are Il.
4. Petree, Jno. G. Ellis and Henry
III. Alternately, of this city, and z. U.
McElroy and NJ. Ii. Crump, of Bowl
ing Green. The capital stock will be
100000. The company is now bor-
ing for gas at Bowling Green. They
have struck gas at depth Of 800 feet
but not enough to supply the city,
AS soon as they complete the sinking
of wells there they will begin work
here. 1t is believed that gas can be
found at both places in abundance.
The company proposes to utilize the
gas for fuel as well as for light. This
is being done in many places and
everywhere with the most satisfac-
tory results.

P. T. BARNUM IS COMING.
The Combined Shows. Nyriads Of
Attractions and Features.

The present season forms the sixth
in the compact that binds together p.
Il. Barnum's Greatest Show on
Earth and the great London Circus,
the two biggest shows this country
every produced and now and forever
more from this time out verbally one
inseparable enterprise under the firm
name of p. 4. Barnum & Co. In
presenting the magnificent combina-
ton this year, it can safely be said
that everything Of any value as an
object of pleasure, source of amuse-
ment and laughter, or that produces
delight, affords instruction, causes
wonder, creates establishment or in
any way conduces to the innocent
recreation of the public is this year
to be found within its mammoth
tents. 100000 has been expended
in purchasing novelties, features,
wonders and marvels, which, added
to those already possessed by these
monarchs of the show world, renders
the exhibition truly an immense one
in each and all its many departments.
To enumeratc its myriads of surpris-
ing features would be to occupy too
much space; suffice il that the show
consists of triple circus with three
big rings, elevated stage performan-
ces, a Roman hippodrome for the
exposition Of the numberless thrilling
races, a museum of living human
and other wonders, two monster dou-
BILE menageries of the rarest wild
beasts, birds and reptiles, all ele-
plant pavilion containing herd of
those big animals, besides clown ele-
plant and others, all trained. The
huge canvas has seating capacity If
10000, and covers fully eight
acres of ground, while the other tents
are simply numberless. -Four trains
of cars are necessary TO transport Il
stock, cages, and material; and the
pay roll contains the enormous nun.
Der of 800 names-truly a mammoth
show. 2l0 persons are employed in
advance in various capacities, and
300 is stated as the number of its per-
formers, who are to be seen in 100
acts of startling character. The
great free street parade will take
place the morning the shows aT.iv,
after which two performances will
be given, at 2 and s p. NJ. The entire
show will be here on June 3.

Maxwell, alias Brooks, the st.
Louis trunk murderer, has made a
statement that is virtually confess
sion. He says he killed Preller acct
dentally while administering chloro-
form to him at his own request, in
order to perform a delicate surgical
operation. After he saw Preller was
dead he got on drunk and does not
know what lie did while in that con-
dition. He packed him in his trunk
and left while crazed with liquor.
The story is decidedly diaphanous
and Maxwell ought to hang. His
trial is now in progress.

A QUEER DOCUMENT.
Brooklyn Crank's Novel and Startling
Memorial.

Brooklyn Crank's Novel and Startling
Memorial.
A queer document was laid before the
Senate recently in the shape of me-
mortal from M. Krauskopf, of Brook
lyn, urgingthat the Governm ent shall
establish a newspaper at every first
class post-office in the United States, to
be published at public expense and for
public use; such papers to be for the
publication, free Of all advertisements
OF the people and of the utterances and
opinions of the people who may choose
to avail themselves of the columns of
the Government newspapers. The
memorialist sets forth that the only
tyranny existing in this country is that
OF the press; that the press is power
full dynasty, and unless this despotism
is checked and overthrown it will SUBJ
vert the Government The only power
competent to grapple with the tyranical
press is the Government, and he urges
that Government papers be established.
The memorial covers thirty-six pages
OF legal-cap paper, and the opinions
and grievances of the memorialists are
set forth in the minutest detail.-Csn-
