THE NATURAL GAS OFF.
a BAD BREAK N THE MAIN PIE
OF the West Virginia Company Beyond West
Alexander Causes Much Inconvenience
aud Almost Produces Same DIS.
astsrs-- Cold Dinners Common.

Wheeling had her frat experience yes
tsrdsy with failure Of the natural gas
fuel, aud the new substitute for the black
diamonds received decided set back in
the popular estimation as desirable fuel.
The gas failed about half past three in
the morning, and was not turned on
again until about eight last evening, For
a few hours in the morning, however
the Wheeling Natural G2s Company sup.
piled the other company with
gas. This was impraCticable al
first, as the great drain on
this compsny's mains prevented q
sufficient pressure In the mains at Bsllalre
and inthe south end Of this city. The OF
tiCers Of the Wheeling Company succeed
cd, however, In getting several large con
sumers, iron mills and others which could
shut down temporarily, to cease work iol
q short time SO as to permit the fuel L
accumulate in the pipes again. Finally
however, the drain threatened to cut Of
their own supply, and they were obliget
to shut it of.
The result was serious Inconvenience Il
all consumers. Gold dinners were thu
fashion, and people who have the gas il
their houses either went into their neigh
bors, who still burn coal, or made fires IL
their own houses with coke or coal,

CAusR OF THR TROUBLE,

The failure OF the gas was caused by the
parting Of two sections OF the main pipe
at the top Of Garrett's Hill, in Washing.
ton county, about seven milOs beyond
West Alexander. The supsrindent Of
thellne, Mr., Gushing, was the first to dis
cover the break. Ito found 1t about
o'clock in the morning, and from the
manner in which the gas was rushing
out it was evident that the pipe had Just
parted, He at once came to the city, and
the necessary articles and q sufficient
force OF men to repair the damage quick.
ly were dispatched at once t. the scene Of
the accident. Ths break was OF such a
character, however, NJ to require Consid-
cradle time in mending.
1t Ia supposed from the information OBJ.
tsinable that the pipe parted from the
weight and the settling Of the ground.
The impotence OF consumers was great,
Of course, but the olIiCals OF the company
were polite and as patient as they could
be. The expedients resorted to by pso,
pie, such as cooking over gus JETS
wrapping up in blankets and borrowing
coal would I'LL column II described.
The restaurants which used gas borrow
ed gasoline stoves or turned in the city
gas. Their trade was bigger than usuaI
owing 10 the fact that people were without
means TO cook mealg at home.

AT THE CENTRAL GLASS WORKS.


The Central Glass Company is one oil
the largest and most important consumers
this gas company has, and at it's works In
East Wheeling there was q very narrow
escape from heavy and disastrous loss, Il
being averted only by the hardest kind Of
work on the part OF almost every one
about the establishment, including the Of.
fee force. Notification ofthe fact that this
Manufacturer Company would no longer
be abe TO supply the Yves. Virginia Com
psny's consumers had scarcely been re.
ceived at the Central when the supply
was shut oil. There had blon no time for
preparation and the situation was q Beri-
GUS one. President Scott assumed charge

vided ut the time the natural gas fittings
were put in, to be used for pulling out.the
bricks in case Of au accident like this
and which it was supposed there would
never be occasion to use, we're at once
brought into action. The bricks being
torn out the gas fixtures we're next gotten

work Of getting a fire built on the CRATE

The Lady Operator.

There evidently is one kind of business
for which women seem to be we'll fitted,
Judging from the number engaged in it, and
that is telegraphy. Strolling about New
York and dropping into almost any teIe-
graph Office from Harlem to the Battery
there may be seen the female operator, and
as general thing she will be seen to be
young and pretty wide awake to her bust
ness. She will sometimes have about her a
number OF subordinates of the opposite sex
in the form of callow youths and messenger
boys, over whom she queens it with right
royal will and an air of authority that is
charming to behold. Generally these young
women are very pleasant and Obliging; only
occasionly will one come across a terror,
whose very look will freeze him to the mar
row. However, they all seem to give
satisfaction to their employers and
to attend well to their work,
and appear to be rapidly monopolizing
the telegraphic business. Far out on the
Western plains, wherever there is railroad
station, almost invariably the traveller sees
a pretty lace or muslin curtain at the win
dow, bird-cage hanging up alost, and
some Towering plants on the narrow sill,
or a vine trained up over the red door
theses stations all along the line are
hainted a dull dark redl. and other si0ns of

But would be very far from deduclng
from these two ideal marriages the con-
clusion that a young woman should not
marry under the mature age of %.
The terrible danger is in the early mar
riage of people in transition state, when.
before the wings have sprung from the
shoulders of Pegasus, he may be mated
all unknOwingly with the plOdding plow-
horse. Unshared aspirations, unshared
tastes, unshared acquisitions are
fatal to conjugal happiness. know, for
instance, man in high, official posi-
ton, educated largely by contact with the
world, by the very duties that have de-
yolved on him and the attention of every
days experiences, whose petty, empty
headed wife must shock him by her very
accent every time she opens her lips. He
does his duty manfully, this man-but does
any one suppose he would not be happier
with different wife.
Louisa M. Alcott writes as follows: My
reply to the question, when shall our
young women marry?" is from % to 25, as
few girls are ready for the duties of married
life before then, either physically or men-
tally. Many are never fit, owing to the
| serious defects in our modern education and
inherited ills.
w HeH SIltlI our young Ilou marry! IL
still more important question to my mind,
because the sins of the father visited upon
the children are too often the cause of that
feebleness which is usually attributed to
the mothers. When young people are
wisely prepared for marriage and taught its
sanctity, it will cease to be the leap in the
dark it is now to both parties, and the
beauty and vigor of youth will make ii
what it should be-safe and happy. AS
teacher, nurse, author, and contidante tC
young and old, have had many opportuni-
ties of looking behind the curtain, and am
convinced that books on the health of ouI
boys are much more needed than any adj
ditions to the library of advice our poor
girls are supplied with. Begin at the right
end, gentlemen, and do not visit upon
Ewes daughters the sins of Adams sons,
making it unsafe to marry at all.
