Inc UnAutAuQuA Scfsicos AooeS'
In the afternoon of yesterday Rev. &. +
Randolph spoke upon the growth of our
country, illustrating the statements made
by maps. The subject is one Of great in
terest and will repay careful study.
Few know the extraordinary character OF
our progress, and nothing 40 indicates our
great future as the changes OF the past.
In the evening Rev. Dr.. T. j. Leak, OF
Allegheny City, delivered lecture to
large audience on the subject, "O'er the
Leas." No more charming address has

the scenes and delights of summer jaunt
to Europe. His style is picturesque aud
entertaining, and the people listened with
great pleasure. Before the lecture Mrs.
Ella Shinn, the daughter Of Mr.. Thomas

ouisitely executed piano solo.

Arguments Finished, and tho Matter Left
In the Hands Of the Court.
Judge briggs, Of the Belmont County
Court of Common Pleas, has not yet rem
dered a decision in the case Of Rodefsr
Bros, of, Bsllaire v. the Wheeling Natural.
Gas Company, an action to continue the
mandatory Injunction against the Gas
Company, granted in the Probate Court q
month or so ago, and there is little proba.
bility that q conclusion will be reached,
for several days, at least. There are four
Of these cases in all, the plaintiffs being
respectively the Belmont Glass Company,
Rodefer Bros the Etna Glass Company,
and the Elson Glass Company, TIE case Of
Rodefer Bros, being taken a. test by
which all will stand or fall. The
arguments were heard on Wednts-
day, the attorneys being limited TO
an hour and quarter on each side, and
the case was opened by James G. Tallmap,
for the plaintiff. Hon. Ross. ]. Alexander
submitted written argument. and the
case was then continued for the defense
by Captain D0vener, of this city, who
made an elaborate argument for the Com.
pany, claiming there was neither equity nor
right on the side Of the demands made BY
the manufacturers. He said there was no
question about the fact that the supply OF
gas was ut present much less than Il WAS
when the contracts sought to he continued
were made, and this being 20, Il was
wholly wrong 10 attempt to compel the
Company 10 furnish fully supply of exs
70 all It's old patrons. The thing was an
impossibility. The Company was entirely
willing that its patrons should amicably
agree among themselves a. 10 which of them
should be the recipients of the gas they had
for sale, and this settled, feel would be
furnished In abundance for the number OF
manufactures the O. mpany would agree n
place upon its lines, but 30 long - al the
old companies wer, kept upon the mains
there would not be enough gas for any one.
II was Just like . man who, having dairy
OF twenty cowa, naturally contracted
TO supply given number Of custo.
mers with 60 much milk. Thsn, II
one third or one half If tb<
cows went dry, and it was impossible "a
secure others TO take their places, some Of
the customers would have t0 drop or
while the price Of milk to those remaining
would have to be increased, for the reason
that, although 50 many cows yielded nc
milk, still it cost ~ much % ever 10 carr
for them and feed them. The csc wal
closed by Judge Kelley, who made forci
BILE argument. The glass companies wer,
represented BY Judge Kelley, james @
Tallman and Gallahsr h woodbridee.
This case Is one of considerable interes
Tor the manufacturers Of this city and Vi
cinty, and the decision Of the Court vii
be awaited with no little anxiety.

A STATEMENT
BY the Natural Gas Company of West
Virginia.

Virginia.
The NATURAL GAS COMPANY OFF
WEST VIRGINIA,
PITTsBURG, Pa, June 18th, 1888.
To tie Editor OF the Register:
SIR:-Recent discussions as to our rates
for the supply of natural gas 10 the citizens
of Wheeling assume that we are asking
more than we are entitled to, or should
properly charge, and it has been broadly
stated that excessive rates have been made
to enable us to pay dividends upon capital
stock not represented by bona fide prop
erty.
These aspersions are most unfair and en-
tirely unwarranted by the facts. 1t is not
necessary for us to refer to the circum-
stances and assurances which drew us into
supplying natural gas to Wheel.
ing, as they must be familiar to
your citizens, but we do say, that
in all points, we have done as we agreed to
do and in no case have we ever charged
nor do we propose to charge even as much
as your city gave us the right to charge
and on the basis Of which we made our in
vestment. To any person who thinks diff.
ferently, we are ready at any time to fur
nish gas by metre at the rate per NJ assured
us by the city's ordinance. We are at a
loss to know why we should be assailed by
some of your people, as We have been re-
Gently.
The charge that we have to provide divi-
dends upon capital stock not represented
by bona fide property, is shown to be
simply ridiculous by glance at the fol-
lowing figures. Our plant cost rs to 3lst
March, 1888, actual money outlay for
every dollar Of which we can produce legit-
innate vouchers-$s56, 272 60; our leases
stand on our books at 1898, 735 II, fol-
which stock was issued, making total Of
81, O9O, OOs.3l. This amount Is represented
as follows:

Arrested as One of n Gang of Counter.
f~eiters-Other Grimes Charged.
PfTTsBURa, Pa, May IA wholesale
arrest of counterfeiters took place at
Lloydsville, near Altoona, Pa. The raid
was planned by Detective Simpson and
a deputy United States marshal, and
was entirely successful. The names
of the men corralled are Isaac Edmund
son, Daniel Garman, John Myers, and
two others named Estep and Will
hanson. Myers was recently ap-
pointed postmaster at Lloydsville. He Is
charged, in addition to counterfeiting,
with tampering with the mails. He has
heretofore borne a good character. A
large. amount of counterfeit money, dies,
etc, were found in possession of the pris-
oners. When arrested the men were
pouring metal into the mold. Edmund
son at once made a full confession, i'm
plicating several other persons, who will
be arrested. The gang has been oper-
ating in western Pennsylvania for a year
or two, ana according to Edmundson's
statement has put at least $40, 900 of
counterfeit money In circulation.
