MUST HAVE METERS.
The Philadelphia Company VIII Not Furnish

The Philadelphia Company VIII Not Furnish
Gas by Contract Any Longer.
The Philadelphia Company has determined
to put meters in the houses of every private
consumer, and there is agreat deal of lndigna-
ton in consequence. Some Of the consumers
made contracts which they thought would run
for year. but after a careful perusal of it dis
covered that it could be annulled by either
party by giving 80 days notice.
With view to abolishing the present system
and forcing consumers to use meters the fol-
lowing announcement has been made by the
Philadelphia Company and 30 days notice is
given:
The Philadelphia Company takes pleasure in an
nounCing to Its patrons that after long series OF
costly experiments, IL is now prepared to furnish
natural gas to domestic consumers by meter; ac-
knowledged to be the fairest safest and most
economical method Of buying and selling this
product.
Owing to the many kinds and sizes of houses
supplied, and to the constantly changing condi-
tons under which the gas is used, and of which 1t
is impossible to take account, 1t has long been
evident that no plan other than the exact meas;
urement of the gas actually consumed could
be devised which would be entirely equitable
and satisfactory. Several grave difficulties, how
The higher pressure at which natural gas is
used, as compared with illuminating gas, and the
greater volume required per minute for fuel pur-
poses as well as the different nature Of the gas It.
self, demanded meter not only unquestionable in
point of accuracy, but also of very substantial
construction ana, consequently, Ol greater COsb
than any heretofore in use. The meter now being
manufactured expressly for the Philadelphia
Company, is the result OF extended experiment.
and successfully solves all the problems presented.
1t is constructed of the best material, for press
far beyond what it can possibly be called upon
to resist and each meter win be tested by and bear
the official stamp Of the City Meter Inspector.
An official of the company, in speaking of the
matter yesterday. said: 1--WE do not intend to
compel any person to use meter, but will not
furnish gas to consumers who will not allow
us to put one in. 1t will be cheaper for the
consumer and will save us about so per cent in
gas, but our revenue will be considerably less,
as we are compelled to pay SIS or $50 for each
meter put in. One man who has had a meter
put in his house came to us to-day and said he
had saved s. 40 during the past month in his
gas bill by using a meter. When the people
understand this thoroughly / do not believe
there will be any objection to the meter sys-

BILE POISONED BLOOD,

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action of the Liver is interfered with, causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part Of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
ETC., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance of bilious symptoms. will remove
them and protect the system from probable
serious attack.

NEW YORK, June 14-Special kilograms
to BradStreet's continue to report only a
moderately favorable condition of trade.
The increased activity at Philadelphia, not
ably in lumber and iron and in general
lines, is due to the reopening of rail COM
munication, which was interrupted by
foods in Pennsylvania. There is also some
improvement in demand for and shipment
of staples at St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas
City, Galveston, Des MONIES and Memphis,
and at Louisville and Cincinnati business
is reported fair. Our low preliminary esti-
mate of S45, ,0O0, 600 loss of property by the
floods in four States is more likely to be re-
duced than otherwise. The wheat crop
propects have not improved since June l,
but the outlook for cotton is rather better
since the Louisiana drouth has been broken.
AT Baltimore, New York aud Boston
trade is quiet with country produce, naval
stores and furniture relatively most active.
Numerous inquiries have induced Brad
streets to examine the "Anti- Trust" legis-
lation of Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and
it is found that such legislation is not, as
has been widely and enormously published,
directed against mercantile contracts gen.
orally, but is aimed against contracts or
combinations designed to limit or control
production or prices.
Under the influence of renewed specu-
lative interest the New York stock market
is active and tends higher, attention being
rapidly transferred from one stock to an
other. Bonds are very strong under in
creasing investment demands. Money at
New York continues easy In spite of large
