the surplus was the proceeds OF the sale of GA
that some OF the surplus was probably invested
In U. 5. bonds. but that great profit resulted
from any such investment.
PROFITS AT 81 PER THOUSAND.
MIR. Mcllhenny estimated the average cost OF
gas at 80 cents per $1,000, and at the price Of
81 per 1000, the annual profits would be $50.
900.
Mr.. spooner thought that by Mr. MeIlhenny's
own figures, given last Monday, that estimate
was too high; that its cost was about So cents
per d,ooo, and that would yield profit OF
500, 900 year.
Mr.. Mcllhenny said he would like tn see
Congress adopt the English system, to allow Id
per cent profit and require semi-annual re.
Mr. Blackburn-"Yes, upon your capitaliza-
tlon and on your expense account"
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
zine gas men are as honest as those in any
business, and will not allow any man to say
they are not" retorted MIR. Mcnhenny.
Senator blackburn very coolly suggested that
Mr.. McIihenny would allow differences OF
opinion, and that perhaps he didn't mean what
he said when saying "he would not allow"
Mr. McIlhenny replied that he meant he
peached. To Mr.. Van Wyck he said the com.
pany had to tear up streets in laying new
mains, and this necessarily hurts the street
somewhat.
FIGURES DON'T LIE.
MIR. McIlhenny said MI. Blackburn's estimate
OF the cost OF gas was not correct; that in the
first place coal costs the company $3.50 per
ton, whereas in Blackburn's estimate it was put
at $3.50.
Mr.. Blackburn somewhat unsettled Mr.. Nc
Ilhenny by telling him that the figures in his
estimate were taken from the sworn statement
OF the secretary Of the company, who gave it at
pa. SO per ton.
MIR. Mcllhenny thought then the secretary's
statement must be wrong.
Mr.. Blackburn's estimate made the cost of
one thousand feet of gas at the market price of
Mr.. McIlhenny insisted that the estimate
was too low.
MR.. JAMES CRUTCHETT,
who has been engaged in the manufacture of
gas for fifty years, and who first lit Washington
with gas, was heard. He explained the cheap
ness of water gas, an invention of his own, he
said, Which he offered tree TO all companies
that would put the price down to fifty cents
and other places this offer was accepted; but
the Washington company went into it through
an infringement upon his (Crutchett's) patent
which they bought from Lowe.
Mr. Mcllhenny said the company paid
SIC, 900 for the use OF the Lowe patent.
MIR. Crutchett said he had Instituted suit
against the gas company for infringement of
his patent and the expert testimony ready to
be submitted In the case 10 that the Washing

A Brides Sad Fate.

St. Louis, Octocer ia special
from Houston, Mo, says: THE most
mysterious and diabolical crime ever
perpetrated in Sothern Missouri was
committed on Big Creek six miles
east of this city, last Friday morning
On that morning at three o'clock
Mrs. Ella Williams the bride of Rolf
Williams was lying asleep by the
side of her husband when some un-
known person entered the bedroom,
placed a pistol against her forehead
and sent bullet through her brains.
the report of the revolver awakened
Williams but he had been i'll for
some time and was unable to pursue
the murderer. Two men sleeping
in the adjoining room were also a.
| wakened and they Immediately went
to the room after procuring a light
As they entered most revolving
scene met their eyes. The young
bride lay motionless on the bed, blood
| streaming from her forehead and
her brains protruding from the
wound. The bullet had entered just
above the right eye and the organ
hal been forced from it's sockets and
was hanging by cord upon her
cheek The men Immediately made
search for the murderer but could
not find any trace of him and he is
still at large. No possible motive
can be assigned for the deed except
that some disappointed former
lover of the bride took this means
of revenge Mrs Williams before
her marriage was the belle of the
country and bore an irreproachable
character The couple who were
children of wealthy and respected
farmers had been married but two
months

ISSUE JOINED.

Now that both parties are in the
field, with the exception Of State
Senator, the inquiry naturally arises
as to what is the issue upon which
the battle is to be fought. We are
of the same creation and said to be
of similar flesh and blood and each,
entitled TO all the blessings, as well
as the re sponsibiities, Of good civil
government. In irrational point of
view, there is no division save OF
free trade and protection. On the
former, the democrats are badly di-
vided, according to Mr.. Hewitt, and
on the latter, republicans are not
more than fairly united. As State,
we want protection on wool, salt,
coal, iron, glass and queensware, etc.
That is natural and it will be impos-
sible in few years for anypolitician
to be elected, who will advocate free
foreign trade on these things Lo-
cally, the questions are the advance
ment of our public schools, the de
crease of taxation, no double.assess-
ments and the management of fiscal
affairs that will not burden the peo-
pie with unauthorized debt. If there
can be any dividing line upon these
poipts,as between the nominees, then
issue is joined thereon and the voter
can take his choice as lie believes
best, for his own and the general
welfare.

lures of bear, while the other is a

Der Of the firm that is publishing
Gen. Grants book, said last evening
that he had just handed to Mrs.
