CmcAoo, H., Jan. There were n
number Of yisiton today at the brewery
where natural gas has been discovered, but
they found no gas ON exhibition. Brewer
Cooke allowed the flame Of natural gls at
his establishment 10 90 out with tho old
year, after exhibiting II to thousands Of
spectators for ten days. Tho gas Is still
there, Of that there is no doubt Mr. Cooke
desires 10 rig up pipes and erect giso.
meter 10 catch the gas for practical utility.
SO he shut down the machinery which
pumped thc g.ls in from the lake, and the
erection Of pipes and q receptacle will take
about ten days, during which time no
water and, consequently, no gus will be
pumped. Mr.. Cooke feels confident that
when he resumes the pumping process the
gas will como ~ before. lie male several
tests before he decided 10 suspend gas
pumping for any length Of time by stop
ping the engines and allowing all the water
and gas 10 run out Of the supply pipes.
Each time tic gas came with the rcsump.
ton Of pressure, which establishes the fact
that the source Of the gas is at the end Of
the supply pipe TO stay. When the APP
parl,us for receiving the gas Ia perfected,
aud II the pressure proves sufficient, Mr..
Cooke will operate his boilers and ma
chncry with natural gas.

tion in the stable.

Yesterday being Sunday, and cold,
crisp one at that, for a starter on tho new
year, the festive politician did not make
himself oycrnumerous on the streets.
Hut thero was lots Of quiet work done.
Leading members Of the courthouse clan
met and discussed the situation over "a
jggcr or So" Squire Fat Winters Chased
himself around to where he had several
OF the "boys" located, TO hear reports Of
how the Citizens (?l ticket was getting
along. The reports were in keeping with
the weather, and lac received cold comfort.
IL was entirely too icy for Col Tom Ear.

Main aud buttonholc the wayiaring polit-
ical hcclcr. But from an aulhonic source
Il II learned that Col. Barrett held New
Years reception in the elegant parlon Of
the street car stables, ON Main street, for
several hours during the day. Whether
the consulting statesmen had free passages
on the cars or not, they got there all the
same. There were no debuianter invited
or admitted, but all the guests were old
time political firts-those who have rev.
eled in the honors and cmoluments
OF the old city government, and
have only prayed 10 live 10 see the day
when Il would bc nhabilitated and

were welcome. OF course, the usual chest
nuts, "Happy New Year" and "lts a
cold day" were passed. Thursday will
be cold day for TINT New Years party,
and don't you forget IT,
But the main question to be discussed
was, "whethcr that struggling monopoly,
the street railroad company, should not
only live In violation oi law, but have the
exclusive right-of-way oi the streets, and
pay nothing for t." IL was unanl.
mously declared that such was the right Of
the company, and, furthermore, the people
had no rights which the owners Of the
street car company were bound or should
respect. That any man was fool and an

The next topic was, "IIadden Must Be

suited the people too well, and was trying
10 do too much good for the city. "Whal

Of value in any ycontcst, and his conclusions

"The peoples ticket is going TO be elect

fact that Il Is a good ticket, nominated
by good men. and represents the cause Of

In other words, II represents the rights OF

Ills own Candidate.

To the Editor Of the Appeal
II may not be generally known, but II
goes without saying, that Mr. George Ar
mold has for some time been working up
the street railway, citizens and corporation
anti.IIadden ticket. Mr.. Arnold success
fully managed a number Of Mississippi
lcvee combinations and secured fat con.
tracts, but this is his maiden effort TO man
age u municipal contest for self and COM
pany. Long before w. J. Chase was
thought OF rs a iigurehead for the ticket
Mr.. Ar. Arnold II is asserted, approached
several leading business men with view
20 their becoming candidates on his ticket,
but they 10 a man declined 10 lead the
forlorn hope. Then Il was that Mr.. Chase
was taken up as a dcrnier resort, posi-
ton which he had held before In local
political contests, all Of which terminated
fatally for his Taxing District aspirations.
Mr.. Arnold did not originally intend
90 become his own candidate for position
in the board Of public works. Indeed, he
gave II ~ his reason that his compulsory
absence from the city would happen NJ
often, owing TO his large and numerous
levee contracts, that he could not attend
the general council meetings. should he
be elected TO the Office. But circumstances
aud combinations seem 10 have induced
him TO change his mind, and he has been
forced into II, No that by representing him
self and his railroad company, he is fairly
chargcable with not representing the pub.
lie nor the best interests Of Memphis.
Aside from the question Of his ineligibility
by reason OF interest In corporations, hav.
ing contracts with the city, L would appear
90 the ordinary lookeron that Mr.. Arnold
has placed himself in dilemma, although
his hackers may insist that lac is what the
poet described as
Ia beautiful thought,
Aud softly bodied forth"

The Holy Father Faints Twice During

RoME, Jan. L---Forty-oight cardinals and

at the mass, and II is estimated that there
were D,0O0 persons in the audience. The
Bope prayed for a long time in his private
chapel and then received the homage OF
the court cardinals in the Sala Ducalc.
While assuming the sacredo.al yestments
the Pope was overcome with emotion and
tainted. Strong salts were administered
and hc soon returned to consciousness. He
then assembled the gcstatorial chair and
was borne ON the shoulders Of the sediar,
attended by the cardinals, In 81. Peters
cathedral. Just before he was fully vested
for the altar he again tainted, remaining
unconscious few minutes. The mass oc-
cupied twenty-eight minutes. After pro-
nouncing the benediction, the Pope again
seated himself in the gestatorial chair and
was borne completely around the altar To
the Capella Del Saccmments, where he
offered up a prayer Of Thanksgiving. Dur
