SANDUSKY'S BIG GUSHER.
1t Is Ignited by Buckeye and
Causes a Devastating Fire.

UPPER SANDUsKY, O., Sept. 21.-The
work of the National Gas company, OF
this city, was rewarded Tuesday last in
striking a gushing gas well. the most
powerful in this entire region. 1t
was impossible to entirely stop
the flow of gas, and since the
find was made work has been going
forward to tap the monster below the
surface and utilize the fluid for light
and power in the city. Hundreds Of
persons have come to inspect the well,
and this evening visitor, more ven
turesome than the rest, approached and
tossed lighted match toward it. for
the sole purpose of seeing the blaze.
The gas was instantly ignited. and
sprang upward in flame that quickly
enveloped the great derrick and sheds
adjoining. In a few moments they
were reduced to ashes and great
stream Of burning gas sprung up.
The light can be seen for many miles.
The strip of woods near the well took
fire, and as it is very dry the flames
there are raging furiously, and scores of
men are busy trying to prevent it from
spreading further. If It gets beyond
their control great damage will GER
tainly be done. No means of stopping
the blaze at the gas we'll are at hand,
and absolutely nothing can be done to
check it. The community is terri bly,
excited and in great fear that a deyaStat-
iDgfire will eUSue.

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-No additional

jOurnment Lawyer Donahoe renewed
his motion, made some time ago on be-
half of his client, Kuenze, that ne may
be given some information. directly or
indirectly, as to what evidence is against
the prisoner. He had, he said. no more
information now than when the court
appointed him, and desired that the
states attorney be directed to give the,
information. The matter was argued
at considerable length, and finally
taken under advisement by the court.
MIR. Forrest gave notice that he would
on Monday ask for modification of the
order of the court directing the states
attorney to permit experts of the de-
Tense to examine specimens of the blood
stains, furniture and other articles
taken from the Carlson cottage, and to-
submit the blood stains to scientific
analysis.

of any Chicago detective being on

states that the Chicago police notified
him several months ago that Heffernan
was supposed to be in this city, and
that he investigated the matter at that
time. He found Heffernan and Sc
cured evidence showing he could not
have had any connection with the muir
der of DR.. Cronin, as he was in San

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The Times to-

consideration, which. If consummated,
will afford satisfactory solution to the
Northwestern railroad problem by re-
moving the cause of all the recent trou-
bleS. The presidents of the Chicago d
Northwestern, the Chicago. Milwaukee
d St.Paul and the Rock Island have been
in the East for week working for the
success OF the plan, aided by Drexel,
Morgan & Co., Kidder, Peabody 81 Co.
and the large European Interests. Con-
trary to general suppOsitiOn, the pro-
posed deal does not involve the absorb
ton of the Chicago, Burlington d
Northern by the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy. 1t cOntemplateS the entire sep
aration of the two roads. There
is no secret about the principal
owners of the Burlington d North
ern being in the directory of
the Burlington & Quincy. The new
llan is for the Chicago 81 Northwestern,
or Milwaukee and st. Paul, or both, to
secure control of the Burlington 81
Northern and operate 1t in the interest
of their own companies. 1t has gone
so tar that the terms of the deal are
said to be paI tly settled. The basis is
the turning over to the Burlington Il
Quincy of the Milwaukee q st. PauPs
line to Kansas City; or if the deal be
with the Chicago IL Northwestern, the
barter will be for the latter's branch
lines south of the Platte river in Ne

THE RAILWAY WORLD
The Secret Out Regarding His
New Funding Plan.
STICKNEY'S SCHEME.


President Stickney's peace policy is
inside cut. That is, there is no longer
a secret as to the inwardneSS of the
new funding scheme, circular to the
bOndhUlders of the Chicago, st. Paul 81
Kansas City railway of recent Issue by
Robert Benson & Co., of London, and
Hope q Co.. of Amsterdam, banking
firms that fioated the first mortgage 8
per cent bonds of the Minnesota and
Northwestern, and Chicago, st. Paul d
Kansas City roads, inviting them to
fund the six next maturing coupons
into a per cent sterling priority
Dond," maturing in 1884, but subject to
redemption on six months notice at
105. In other words, bOndholderS are
asked to forego three years interest
either as penalty for the past effects
of the Suckney policy or to enable that
policy to be perpetuated with its
legitimate effects. The object of
funding, it is stated by the
Stiekney people. was to place the COM
pany in a strong position to face the
''era of low rates in the Northwest"
The company had been doing well, and
was earning the interest OH its debt, but
the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
road was forcing other roads to meet its
cut rates or lose their business. 1t is
claimed that the plan has been accepted
bya majority of the bond holders. The
plan, if carried out, will place the funded
coupon bonds ahead of the interest pay
able when earned on the income bonds,
and ahead of possible dividends upon
the stock. A late copy of the Frank
furter Zeitung, just received, speaks sar-
castically of the company's proposition
in view of the brilliant prospectus is
sued in 1888. when the bonds were
fiOated, and notes the effect of it in de-
cline in the price of the bonds from S71a
$50. Should the plan above outlined
fail, the road will have to be placed in
the hands of a receiver, as there is no
money with which to pay the interest
on its bonds,

THE SOCIAL PROBLEM.
Or. Josiah Strong Makes Some Sensible
Remarks on the Subject.

Remarks on the Subject.
Rev. Josiah Strong, d. D., of New
York, secretary of the Evangelical Al
lance for the United States, addressed a
large audience in Central Presbyterian
Church last night on City Evangelical
tion" DIR. Strong spoke under the
auspices of the Evangelical churches of
the city. DR. Jacob Todd introduced the
speaker, who said in part:
The average mechanic of to day Is far
more intelligent than the baron of the
middle ages This increase of knowledge
makes increase of wants. Only a CORE
spending increase of means can satisfy
their wants; but while knowledge has
been popularized, wealth has been cen
tralized, hence this wide discomfort, their
unsatisfed wants. If this is the explana-
tion, 1t is only temporary. We are on the
eve Of important notifications in
our civilization. Here is new oppo-
sition to the churches of Christ, an oppo-
sition of the age Does she see it2 Does
she grasp it2 How much is the church
doing to mould it2 What is she doing
for men that never cross her threshold?
One half of our population, upwards OF
80, 900, 900, are habitually non church
goers and very significant is the fact that
this class, so nearly comedies with the
discontented class.
1.-THE non church going class is made
up of workingmen, the church going
class is well to do and rich. One of the
fruits of the spirit seems to be good
bank account. The class so discon-
tented is that not reached by the in
iuence Of the church. In this class Is
included the paupers, the criminal
classes, the saloon keepers and anar-
chists. If all could be permeated
with the gospel, does anyone doubt
that the problem would be solved. The
great problem is how to bring to bear
the gospel ON the multitudes. The neces-
sary conditions are: First, the necessity
of arousing the interest of the church.
know of a church in the Mississippi val
ley, where the pastor discouraged work
ing girls who applied for membership in
the church. Whom an officer of the same
church was approached by reformed
drunkard in regard TO uniting with it.,
the officer said he believed
there were no vacancies in the
church just then. Churches move up
town in large cities, because the class for
which they exist, move. The church
needs to value men as men and labor for
them the same as did Christ who died for
them. The second condition is TO arouse
interest by knowledge of specific facts.
II the heart is right, all that is necessary
is to give knowledge. Third, bring
Christian men and women in personal
contact with the work.
At the close of DR.. Strong's address a
meeting Of ministers was held and Il was
decided to invite Rev Frank Russel1 ID
d., OF Oswego, N. T., to address a mass
meeting on the same subject, in this
