PROPHESYING CALAMITY.

Scientific American, August 10.
In the Scientific American of July 6
appeared a paragraph in which J. E.
Thickton expresses similar apprehension
in respect to drilling the earth and ex-
hausting the natural gas as is expressed
by the following professors in a recent
issue of the Popular Science Monthly.
Professor Joseph F. Jones assumes the
earth to be a hollow sphere filled with
gaseous substance. called by us natural
gas, and he thinks that tapping these
reservoirs will cause disastrous explo-
sions, resulting from the lighted gas
coming in contact with that which is eS-
Gaping. He compares the earth to a bal
loon ffoated and kept distended by the
gas in the interior, which, if exhausted,
will cause the crust to collapse, affect the
motion of the earth in its orbit, cause it
to lose its place among the heavenly
bodies, and fall in pieces.
Another writer thinks that drilling
should be prohibited by stringent laws.
He. too, thinks there is possibility of an
explosion, though from another cause
Should such disaster occur, 'the cOun-
try along the gas belt from Toledo
through Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky
will be ripped up to the depth of l, 200 or
l,0Oy IoeU anu HOpptu over uho d pau
cake, leaving a chasm through which the
waters of Lake Erie will come down, fill
ing the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, and
blOtting them out forever"
Still another theOrist has investigated
the gas wells with telephones and deli
cate thermometers, and he announces
startling discoveries. He distinguished
sounds like the boiling of rocks, and esti
mated that mile and One-half or so be-
meath the Ohio and Indiana gas field the
temperature of the earth is $500 degrees.
The scientist says an immense cavity
exists and that here the gas is stored;
that mile below the bottom of the cav
ity is ii mass of roaring, seething flame,
which is gradually eating into the rock
floor of the cavern and thinning it.
Eventually the flames will reach the gas,
and a terrific explosion will ensue.

The Reserved Players Refused to Sign Yesterday.
Arson Was the Only Man Who Took the
OOntact-Jack Rowe Talks Signif-

PTTsBTRe, PA, October 21.-The man,
agemsnt of the Pitlsburg Base Ball Club
officially notified the players reserved by
them that they would retain their ser.
vices for next season, and were ready to
execute the agreement. Rowe and Sun.
day refused to accept the document until
they had satisfied themselves as TO its con-
tents. The others took the notice with
ont comment.
Rowe, in speaking of the matter, said
II don't propose to allow the League to get
the drop on me, if can help it. They
violated faith with the Brotherhood boys
once before relative to the salary business,
and we don't Intend getting the worst of i.
again if we can help it." When Sunday
was paid his money, he WAS asked 10 sign
q contract, but refused to do it until after
tbs League meeting, on November 12 One
of the players said that the Brotherhood
would hold a preliminary meeting about
November 4, when they would formulate
their demands and lay them before the

BEN HOGAN'S MEETINGS.

Another Successful One Last Evining.

Another large audience assembled at the
Opera House last evening to listen to Ben
Hogan, the reformed gambler and pugilist,
talk. In fact he down stairs was crowd
ed, and very large number of those pres
ent were non church going people, such az
Mr.. HOgau's meetings always draw to-
gether. Mr. Hogan gave one f bis chsrac-
teristic talks, and all present we're deeply
interested.
Mr.. Charles Sawyer, who is a well known
evangelist, and the fret man Mr.. Hogan
ever heard talk religion, also delivered an
address, which was very interesting
These meetings will be continued through
out the week, and doubtless they will re-
suit in much good, as both gentlemen are
evangelists who do not only depend on
words to save souls, but they work
among such men ss are striving TO
reform, and often warm pressure of the
hand accompanied by cheering word
does more than anything else can do.
The house will be warmed up nicely to-
night, an organ has been secured and the
Young Mems Christian Association will

Sawyer will both talk aud all are invited

CR0NIN CASE.
A Man Who Connects English Free Masonry With
the Crims-Bsggs Has Coniesssd-Eyidenea
Against Kunzs-Ths Jury IS
All But Formed

CHICAGO, Ootober 21.-Tbe Morning
Ners says a young man called at Judge
Longeuecker's Office yesterday and asked
to see him. He was informed that LOnge
necker was not there. To the man IN
charge he said that he had important reyel
ations to make. When questioned, he
said that be WIS a Free Mason, and had
bsen sent from England on mission con-
nected with the OrOnin case. He con-
nected the English branch of the Masonic
order with the murder, and said that ''it
was in an Engligh lodge that the scheme
was first cOncOcted. IfLOngenecker wants
my story be can have it. " he continued:
1.-THE English Freemasons and the Amer
lean Clan-na-Gael are ruled by men who
work together. The men at the top here
are traitors and get money for giving Sc
crets away; but I'll not say any more,
can tell it all to Longenecker."
has BEGGs CONFESSED?
The Globe says the attorneys for the
State in the CrOnin case are now in pos
session Of two confessions which probably
clear up the entire plot to murder DR..
Cfoniu. One is from a man who belonged
to the Inner Circle Of Camp 20-JOhn +.
Bgggs-and was Senior Guardian of the
camp, and consequently the head center
of the Internal secret executive that or
dered Dr.. Cr0nin's murder; the other Is
mau at present unknown, who was con-
nected with Coughlin, Sullivan, Burke
aud Others in executing the order. The
latter was not indicted with the five men
low on trial, and therefore could not be
placed on trial with them. II his infor-
nation proves correct ne will save his
neck. The informer knows nothing of the
murder beyond the order of the Inner
Circle OF the Camp, and for bis iutOTms-
tiOn, if it proves reliable the States At
torney will ask nOle on his behalf jus.
before the case is given to the jury.
THE JURY LACKS ONE.
Five different times to-day the CrOnin
Jury was complete unless the talesman on |
the stand at that moment was subjected to !
a peremptory challenge. Three times the !
prosecution intepOsed and twice the de-
tense (Beggs). Tonight the Jury was
SIM incomplete, lput jurors haNluk Jel w |
be sworn in, but with three of the four
practically accepted By both sides.
EVIDENCE AGAINST KUNZ.
VIM. L. James, son of a prominent
British American lawyer, B. A. James,
said to-day in an interview that the |
suspect Kunz was one Of the men who oc-
cupied the flat on Clark street where the
furniture of the Carlston cottage is sup

The Minority to Have Little Meeting Of

The Contest Committee is now a very
much separated body. Judge Maxwell re-
turned yesterday, and during the day
gathered together some further notes that
he desired. 1t is understood that the
Judge will leave to-day to 20 out TO att nd
the Ritcbie County Court. If be makes
this move it will doubtless mean that the
Republican part Of the committee has ad-
iourned to Richie where the air is good and
board is cheaper, and that the two gentle
meu will occupy their time in fixing mp
their little minority report. But what
bothers the Judge is that he wants to get
hold of the majority report before he does
aything toward writing the minority re.

Liyely's daughter, whose illness has kept

WASHINGTON, D. @, October 21.-The
Rev. W. r. johnson (colored), OF the Sec

here yesterday in which he likened the
negro to Samson and told the members of
his race to secure homes in the South and

every inch of land must be defended with
Winchester rifles. "The negroes" he
continued, "bas been building for the

Of the nation, and if undistur6ed will do
no harm, but if stirred up may grasp the
pillars of our civilization, and, like Sam

The Rev George w. Lee, also colored,
of the Fifth Baptist Church, preached on
"Southern outrsges," ard advised the

can learn there is no abnormal demand for

paying more for bonds than you are at the
