House with Kerosene with the Intsn-
ton Of Firing 1t.
READING, Pa, August 2.-The family of
Maberry Heffner had narrow escape from
death and cremation. The police found
his house onssNicholson street saturated
with kerosene from top to bottom. Every
thing had been turned topsy turvy and ap-
porently ransacked by thieves. The fam
lily were all under the influence of chloro-
form. They were aroused with great diff
Guilty. A search through the houss
showed that thieves had stolen watch and
500 The family knew nothing of what
went on in the house Saturday night
They retired Is usual, and until aroused by
the police, knew nothing more The po-
lice believe that the thieves either intended
to set fire to the house to hide the crime,
and were frightened away, or that they
prepared the house for the torch, intending
TO fire it only in case any of the family
died from the effects of the chloroform.
Heffner had charge of large coal office,
and the thieves probably believed that he
had large amount Of money in the house.
They used enough chloroform to kill twen-
ty men. No one has been arrested.

CIscINNATI, August 2.-Dr. Ernst Weis-
senbaues, professor of geology in Heidel-

days, after visit of scientific inspection TO

professor says that he found the vastness of
the gas deposits under Mndlay greatly un-
derestimated, and that underneath the
town at great depths lag mighty cavern
filled with highly infammable gas under
tremendous pressure. By means of expert
ments with delicats. instruments the pro-
fessor has come to the conclusion that at q.
distance of only one mile below the great
gas cavity, which lies under Findlay, fire
Is raging ct a temperature of nearly 5, 500
degrees. Not satisfied with the observa-
tions At one point he took several wells
with radious of three mileA and claims
bis first observations were completely
confirmed. He says that about LOO feet
below the city of Findlsy lies an immense
cavern. 1t 10 several miles long and in
some places more than half . mile deep.
This Is crowded full Of gas, which is under
pressure almost inconceivsble. Then
come several strata Of rock, perhaps one
mile in thickness and then this great inter.

adjourned until Monday, in consequences
of the absence of Mr.. Ford, who was called
away by the death of his sister, they are
still pursuing the subject informally. Mr.

identity, quietly observed the process Of
landing immigrants. He paid especial at
tention to the manner in which the immi-
grants were Questioned.

provides that every immigrant landing
here must show . certificate from the

barked, stating everything bearing ON his

the subject of immigration.
