day last that Mr., Kerlin, q foreman
Of the company, had an opportunity
10 show what could be accom-
plIshed by an experienced pipa'layer
under favorable circumstances, when he
layed over one.hali mile Of twelve inch
converse joint pipe in the short space OF
When 1t is known that Saturdays
work consisted in laying l65 joints
Of pipe, each weighing between seven and
eight hundred pounds, ina ditch four feet
deep, and that each joint was carefully
run with fifteen pounds Of molten lead,
ono can form an idea OF its magnitude
and the effort the Natural Gas Company
Of West Virginia Is making to supply the
people OF Wheeling with a cheap fuel as
early as possible. The company and the
employees deserve TO be congratulated for
the energy they have displayed in laying
their lines, now so near completion,
On Saturday, Thomas Cushing made a
wager OF suit Of clothes that his men
would lay $50 joints Of l2'inch converse
pipe within ten hours aud at the rate they
worked would have accomplished 1t had
the pipe haulers been able to keep pace
with his lightning.like work.
The officials Of the company at this point
have been busily engaged Tor two weeks
past closing contracts with manufacturers
and private individuals who propose tax
ing gas from the Companys mains, The
number that have been made up to date
fully realizes expectations and the princI'
pals In tho company feel very much en-
Couraged. As the people read and learn
more and more about this wonderful tuel
they begin to understand that the danger
arising from its use is no greater than
that when coal is used In the
CRATE. Realizing this, and making q com
parison OF the very low rates adopted tol
this city with those paid by natural gaE
consumers elsewhere, and making :
further comparison Of the cost OF gas with
that Of coal, taking into consideration the
smoke, SCOT and ashes OF the latter, 1t doel
not take one long to make up his mind Z
use gas. The number OF contracts madG
and that are being made, has caused
boom for the plumbers who are having
large run Of work in consequence. Thost
contemplating the use Of natural gas vii
