A MARVELLOUS FLIGHT.
A Pittsburg Homing Pigeon Makes 2OS
nIilna In QoS Minurea

Pittsburg Homing Pigeon Makes 2O3
Miles In 325 Minutes.
In view of the fact that the bird had, with
his fellows, been confined in baskets since
Saturday morning last, that was remarka-
BILE flight of Jacob MOTIFS S-year-old carrier
pigeon Shepherd, which arrived at its Grant
street home loft in this city. just before noon
yesterday, making an average of LOO yards
minute. Although Mr. Motz wasn't feeling
very well physically, when he saw reporter
last evening. his smile was so warm and his
manner as jovial as If he had heard he was heir
20 q fortune in New Zealand or Kamschatka.
The diamond pendant from his pigeon-on-the-
wing scarfpin glistened no brighter than Ja-
cob's eyes when he told about it, even If he did
have bad headache.
Here are the facts about the fight: 1t was
the second Pittsburg ng-dlstance race OF the
season. On Saturday the ten birds went in
baskets to Springfield, O., 203 miles west air
line. They could not well be liberated at an
earlier day on account Of bad weather; so were
set free from their baskets at $50 A. N. yester-
day. The first one got in at 1855 A. NJ. 1t was
Shepherd, belonging to Mr.. Motz and the only
bird he had sent. 1t had to stop clock to en-
ter the loft here, so that the exact minute was
recorded.
The second and only other one to arrive was
one of William Hillebrecht's seven birds, which
arrived at his loft at l2:45 p. NJ. having aver
aged 9SS yards a minute for the flight, which
Mr. MOTIFS bird made in 325 minutes. Neither
OF Jacob Haupts two birds got in.

THEY WILL PROTEST.
Natural Gas Consumers Of Mount
Washington Up in Arms Against
THE PHILADELPHIA GAS COMPANY,
And Nay Order the Corporation to Shut OF
the Supply Of Fuel.
OBJECTIONABLE METERS THE CAUSE

The consumers of natural gas in the
Thirty-second ward, Mount Washington,
are up in arms against the action of the
Philadelphia Gas Company, who have
ordered them to put meters in their houses.
A meeting has been called for Saturday
evening, when they will protest against it,
and decide whether or not they will go back
to the use of coal. The meeting will be
held in the schoolhouse, if that building
can be secured.
A careful canvass among the consumers
shows that fully nine-tenths of them will or
der the gas shut off if the company persists
in what the consumers call "one-sided, ,un-
lawful extortion." The company has sent
notices to the consumers annulling their
contracts and stating that if they want them
renewed they must apply at the Office. There
they must sign an agreement to put in the
meter, which will cost the consumer S.. In view
of the fact that the rates have been raised
twice since the gas has been put in, the con-
sumers object. They claim that if they put in
the meters there is nothing to prevent the COM
pany from again advancing the rates. They
might then decide to order the order the gas
shut Oh, and they would then be out the So
which they paid for the meter, but which does
not belong to them.
At the meeting there will probably be two
propositions adopted for submission to the
company. One is that the consumers will sign
contracts from July at the same rate; they are
paying now, and allow the company to put in
the meter if they wish to do so. The other is
that the company pay for the meter, and
chances will be taken in regard to an increase
in the rates. In no event will the consumers
pay for the meters.
One of the most indignant consumers has
been collecting statistics as TO the cost of the
gas where meter is used. One Southside man
who has meter in his house says he pays at
the rate Of $50 so per year for one cooking
stove. he burns 800 to 1000 feet Of gas In ten
hours, which he has figured down to cost 10
cents. This was for the month of April when
he did not burn the gas anywhere else but in the
cooking stove. Another expert on the South
side has figured it down to cost him 81 40 for
the month for one stove.
The majority of the consumers are afraid
that if they put in the meters they will have
to order them out again. The tenants say the
landlords should put the meters in, while the
landlords think they should not be compelled
to do so without raising the rent. The tenants
refuse to have the rent increased, and cannot
give any assurance to the landlords that they
will not refuse to continue taking the gas If
rates are raised by the use of the meters.
Nearly everybody on the hill uses the gas and
is interested in the matter.

WOMEN AT WOODWORK.

A New Departure for Females at California
Normal School,
Prof. J. NJ. Luckey has just returned from
the California Normal School, and in his re-
port of the institution is particularly fatter-
ing as to its prosperity. He says that there
are between 400 and 500 students attending, and
the accommodations are insufficient, many
having to room and board outside.
They have in successful operation the wood
work school for both ladies and gentlemen, and
he says the girls handle the plane and saw with
great dexterity. He delivered two talks while
present on Educational Progress" and
Methods of Teaching" Colonel Parker, of
the Cook County Normal School, was there two
weeks ago while Dr. Brooks entertained and
enlightened the students last week.

Tie stockholders of the Monongahela
Navigation Company met yesterday to de-
eide whether they would appeal or not from
the decision of the Board of Viewers in con-
demning lock No. z. They adjourned with
out coming to any conclusion.
An opinion from Attorney Carnahan was
read, in which he held that the directors could
appeal without consulting the stockholders.
Mr. Carnahan said that the directors held most
of the stock anyhow. A create deal of it belongs
to estates, ana the holders have no desire TO
litigate Mr.. Carnahan could not say what the
directors would decide to do.
He explained that a dam is an uncertain
quantity until it is tested. There is always the
danger of leakage, and small stream working
through part of the dam will soon enlarge the
opening. For this reason he thinks that lock
No. Z is worth more than S209, 200, though he
admits that the Government working by the
day and not by contract would spend more
money in building similar structure.

Build an Electric Road.
Rip Van Wrinkle has shaken off his
reverie and decided that the island must
and shall be improved, just as ii would have
been = score Of years ago had not some of the
population been asleep.
Mrs Joseph Walters states that a drive 90
feet in width has been laid out through the
center Of the island leading from the bridge at
the upper end to the lower end near the center
of the village OF Coraopol,s The Island has
the same fall as the river except in one place,
where there is a rise of perhaps 20 feet and
this would be the only grading required in a
drive of II miles from Lashel station, opposite
the center of Sewickley, to Pittsbbrg There
is just enough fall to shed water.
There are between 500 and loo signatures to
. petition asking the Court for bridge at the
lower end to connect with Coraopolis
It is not expected that Neville Island will be
cut into 20 foot front lots but that it will, ere
long, be the prettiest suburb in the county.
There is also little doubt that an electric rail-
way win soon be built to connect all that coun-
try with the CITY.

EXPLOSION IN SCHOOL.
Natural Gas Leak Creates CONSERVATION
Among Children.

Among ChiIdren.-
In the Seventeenth ward school natural
gas explosion occurred yesterday morning
that caused considerable fright to the chill
dren in the schoolroom.
Miss Munnis, one of the teachers, lit a fire
soon after school opened, and throwing match
into the stove an explosion occurred. The
stove was knocked into the middle of the room,
the wall was bulged out and a number of win
dows were broken.
Fortunately, however. no one was hurt, but
the children were all badly frightened, and
miss Munnls tainted. The latter fact created
great excitement among the children, almost
more so than the explosion, but soon all
fears were aIlayed and school resumed.
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by a leak in one of the pipes.
