WHY SOME OF THEM ARE NOT PURE.

The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder is
fact not questioned by anyone but the questions fire.
quenty ased Why do not other manufacturers Also put
up pure baking powders free from lime alum and other
adulteants Is fact that the Royal is the only pure
and wholesome baking powder made3
There are three classes of these articles The cheap
powders which are made of alum and are conCededly
poisonous the phosphate powders containing from 70
Der cent of ime which ingredient of the phosphate
used in tem and inseparable from it, and the of
tartar powders.
The cream of tartar baking powders, to which class
the Royal belongs to be pure must be made from absO
lutely pure materials The ordinary of tartar of the
market contains lime The Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar specially refined and prepared for
its use by patent processes by which the lime totally
eliminated There is no other process by which of
tartar can be freed from limemade 100 per cent pun
quantities practical for commercial purposes Other bak
ing powder Makers not being able to obtain these chem
ay pure goods (Which are used exclusively in the Roya
are dependent upon the Of tartar of the market
refined by the od-fashoned methods by which it is i'm
.possibe to remove the lime and other impurities.
These are the reasons why the Royal is absolutely
pure while other baking powders contain lime oraum.
The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder not
only renders it perfectly wholesome but its freedom
from all exraeous substances makes it Of higher eayen
ing strength and effectiveness.

THB Third GAS COMPANY
Now Knocking at the city's
Doors for Admission.
THE RELIABLE AMITY FIELD
The Source of supply, and Factories
Only to be supplied-counciI to
DO Petitloncd this Evening
for Right of Way.

AT last the much rumored additional
natural gas company takes definite
shape. AT special meeting Of the
City Council called for this evening an
application will be presented by the
Citizens Gas Company for the right OF
way over the streets, alleys and public
grounds of the city for the pipes, to be
used to supply the manu- 'acturing estab-
lishments of the city with natural gas
for fuel. 1t is understood that Mr., II.
NJ. Russell, attorney for the company,
has drawn up an ordinance which is to
be presented tonight, and on which the
Council will be asked to take prompt
and favorable action, that the company
may not be unnecessarily delayed in
reaching with its gas the concerns
which it hopes to supply. This ordin-
ance is said to be in its main features n
copy Of the one by which the MaEufac-
turers' Gas Company was granted the
right OF way in the city, only differing
from that in emitting the names Of the
factories which are to be supplied.
The company has applied for charter
to Secretary OF State Walker, Of this
State, and the charter is expected to ar
rive here in day or two. The stock
holders are Philadelphia men, and are
said to have ample capital back OF them
and 10 mean business. They will pipe
the gus from the Amlty field, in Wash
ington county, Pa, distance OF about
26 miles, where they have purchased q
large tract OF tested gas territory.
Mr.. W. p. Logan, the active man otthe
COM apy, is expected here to-day. He
hus been here and looked over the field,
and is understood to have been very ia
yorably impressed with the outlook.
He Is the President OF the
ROYAL Gas company, which sup
plies SteubenvilIe with gas. The com
pany expects ii it meets with no delay
here to have gas in its pipes in Wheel
ing by September.
The company has a OhoicC Of two very
good lines for its mains from the Fields.
One of these will strike the National
road at Roney's Pointand the OtheratElm
Grove, Surveyors hRvahee at work this
week on the two lines, and eYerythlngls
ready for active operations when the
authorities here give the company per-
mission TO use the streets and alleys.
Itisto be presumed that no obstruction
will,be PLACED in its way by Council. The
people are eager 10 see competition and
will brook no unnecessary delay,

The Columbus Stale Journal has the
following to say about the game played
there with Wheeling on Sunday;
Columbus put up very ragged game,
while that OF the visitors was not much
better. The latter have been playing
poor ball for two weeks, and it was not
likely that they would keep it up in
definitely, and yet their exhibition yes
terday was enough to have cost them Il
defeat had their opponents played any
kind OF ball"

STREET WORK STOPPED
by tho Board of Public Works on Account
of Lnck OF Funds.

by tho Board of Public Works on Account
OF Lack OF Funds.
The City Board OF Public Works, at
its regular meeting last night, approved
bills aggregating somewhat over $500,
besides a pay roll Of 81, 1877. 1t was then
found that these sums deducted from
the Boards contingent fund, out OF
which they must be paid, would leave a
deficit of somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF $3.50, after paying the appropri-
alton made by the City Council at
its last meeting to meet the
shortage OF the appropriation for paving
Main street. The Council, it will be re-.
membered, directed that the paving OF
Main street from Tenth to Ninth should
be paid for out OF the Boards contingent
fund, the amount Heretofore appropri.
ated for the purpose having proved in.
sufficient. This reduced the contingent
fund so that the current charges upon it
will exhaust it and produce the deficit
named besides.
In view OF this fact the Board ordered
all street cleaning and repairs chargea.
BILE upon the contingent fund suspended.
This suspension includes the sewer now
being laid on Jacob street ut Fortieth.
The recent storms washed so much dirt
and debris upon the streets, requiring
immediate cleaning, that the Boards
contingent expenses were unusually
large. 10 meet this, the Board must
rely on the contingent receipts from
fines, ETC., and until the fund is re-
plenished from these sources no work

A slIrht collision.

The train on the Ohio River road ar.
irving here from Parkersburg ut $3.50
o'clock D. IN. was run into at Darlington
last evening by u train OF empty freight
cars, The collision fortunately caused
no damage, aside from smashing to
splinters the pilots Of the two engines
and Earring the passengers somewhat.
II Is said 10 have been caused by the
carelessness OF brakeman, who, after
fixing switch so that the passenger
train might back in on it so that the
freight could have the main track free to
the south, neglected to throw the switch
back, The result was the freight ran
in on the passenger engine.
