Illumination to Celebrate the Introduction
of Natural Gas Streets damned
Natural gas was formally introduced
into Wheeling with appropriate Ceremo-
MES on the night Of Monday, August 80,
lust past. The event had been eagerly
awaited, and the people turned out in
great numbers TO see the dark night lit up
for the tlrst time with the precious vapor.
Never before had Wheeling seen such q
crowd assembled In her streets. On the
corner Of Fourteenth and Market Streets a
stand pipe ninety,Gvs feet in height had
been erected, and al the base Of 1t COM
modious platform in the form OF q square,
reaching westward on Fourteenth and
northward on Market street on the outer
edge Of the sidewalk, accommodated the
speakers, band and distinguished Cttizens,
Almost simultaneously, at s O'Clock, the
Vas was ignited at this corner and from
similar stand pipes not quite 80 high at
the corner OF Main and Eighth streets, at
the Crescent, at Hobbs, BroCkunier 4
Go. q glass works, and in Bellaire, Bridge
port, Ntnavills and Martins Ferry. The
gas was turned on ut that time, and as II
escaped from periorations near the top OF
the pipe, the gas was ignited by balls shot
from Roman candles. Az the flames
sprang up the murky sky reflected the
rays, and il seemed as II the whole valley
were one glow Of fire. The reflection from
the different pipes was visible all over
town, aud the sight viewed from a COM
manding position on the hill was striking
and beautiful.
Long before the gas was turned on at
the central stand pipes the people had be-
gun to Copgregato In thousands on the
streets about the locality, and the win
doYa which offered q view Of the place
we're packed with heads.
In addition to tho big Jet oil gas at the
mouth Of the pipe, three side arms with
four Jets each, and round light had been
arranged ut a convenient height above
! the platform tn illuminate 1t. The light
furnished by this arrangement and the
great volume Of gas ut the top was won
derlul, The buildings for hall square In
all directions were as brightly lighted Rs
! II in the broad sun OF noon.
The congregation oil people momentari'
| ly increased, until by eight o'clock Four
teenth street was dense Jam OF human
forms for more than square, the crowd
packing the space from wall to wall far
beyond Chapline street. On Market the
people reached along the sidewalks to
Sixteenth street, and above to Twelfth
while the space ut the intersection Of the
two streets was as tightly wedged with
people as a box with sardlneS, 1t was
literally crush OF humanity for six
squares. The crowd, as usual, was vari
ouBly estimated, A conservative guess il
10000 people.
Besides those on the streets, the varioul
rooms in the Reilly block were packed
the hundreds Of Windows in Pollock'l
flour mill were taken advantage OF; the
Pubic Library was invaded by hundreds
OF ladies, not q tenth Of whom could gel
to window; Gormania and MWnnerchol
halls were occupied, and all the offices

pRINGINl IN a GAS WE'LL.


An Interesting ProreSs-'rhe Gas Locked In
the Earth.
The process, slow at best, tedious and
annoying when attended by accidents, Of
boring hole down deep into the earth in
search Of oil or gas, is more or less familiar
the world over. The work Of finishing q
well which proyea q heavy gas producer
is more novel. BY their own records, Ii
they have bored other wells, by others ex'
peTience II not, the arrival ol the gus can
be ioTeknoWn several hours by operators,
For some time before the drilling is finish
ed the signs OF gas increase, When work
begins on the morning q gas well ia "dus
in" the well Is carefully measured with q
tape line. This measuring process finish
ed, the tools are swung aud started down
the deep hole at lively clip. Prior to
this, a close fitting top piece has been
screwed on the outer large casing and the
smaller inner casing. Whether the hole
is free from water ia aEcertalned by allow
ing a tester to hang in 1t all night, This
is arranged to fit the hole 80 tightly that II
even teaspoontul OF water exists in the
hole 1t will catch 1t.
THE GAS INCREASES.
A little gas was escaping from the well
generally before the work oil drilling in
was begun, The drill pounded away on
the hard crust, producing apparently lit
tie impression, Gradually, however, the
cloud Of fine dust blown from the hole
grew denser, and water thrown down to
wet the cable YVES sent up in q tina mist
which went half way up the derrick, An
inexperienced observer would be apt to
think there was already something Of Q
gasser, but the officers OF the company and
the drillers pay no attention, but keep
pounding away, In an hour the gas is
hlssing from the hole; In two hours the
rise and fall OF the tools la accompanied by
hard, coughing sound, like . towboat
pulling with q heavy tow. When the
drill Is drawn out to screw on another bit
the sound becomes roar, like nothing
but the continuous and understandable rush
OF tho waters At Niagara. Still the well Is
only approaching the end.
After some further drilling white peb'
bles aud dark fragments OF stone ranging
from the s!Zs OF a pea up to u quarter
ounce piece, fly from the hole and jail in a
shower on the derrick floor, The roar in
creased. The drillers now employ u long
stick to turn the drill back aud forth, in
stead OF the short handle. When tho men
happen to step near the hole their cloth
ing llutters in the current OF gas.
PROTECTING THEIR TYMpANUMs.
Gradually tho roar grows louder until II
becomes deaiening. The spectators move
up the hill and the men drilling the well
stuff cotton in their ears to deadOn the
sound. II this preCautlon were not taken
the rush OF gas would ruin their ears. La
ter even this proves not sufficient, and the
workmen wrap towels and handkerchief
