There was a small sized exodus Of we'll,
known Republicans from this city for
Washington over the B, & o, road last
evening. The Chicago
express was nearly fifty minutes late
when it got in from the West, and the
cars were by no means crowded. In fact,
the conductor and porter Of the hand
some new Pullman attached to the train
were very respondent over the
condition OF things, as they had
been able to dispose OF only three
berths up TO this point, When the
train pulled ont, however, the conductor
was humming q gay air and the porter
had y four-by-nine smile chasing itself
over his C%ountenanCe as he hustled about
assisting the departing statesmen, and
others who had filled up the car, to dis
pose OF their baggage, with q view to
holding them all up for quarters in the
morning,
One section Of the car was occupied by
Senator N, b. Scott and Hon, 6, W, At

district, who are going on to confer
with some OF the chief heads, with
whom they have appointments for to-

The electric railroad track was fin
ished across the Main street bridge over
tho creek yesterday, and the rigger cal
went over and adj isted tho wires. The
approaches have been nicely paved with
brick, and the track, for such q crooked
piece, Is a workmanIike job. There will
probably DO D car run over the bridge
this morning as an experiment. The
loop arrangement cannot be ready for
operation, however, until the curves are
laid on tho South Side, and TO avoid In
terrupting the running Of cars this work
will have to be done ut night, and will
probably consume eight or ten days yet.

ing Manufacturers TO Investi-
gate-Not Far to Go,

A gentleman who has noticed several
recent references in the Wheeling press
to the desirability OF a new and reliable
natural gas supply nearer to the city
thaa the Hickory field, said to a reporter
yesterday that there is within a COM
paratively short distance OF this city an
abundant supply,
81 believe" said he, that gas can be
struck anywhere in or near Wheeling,
But that Is a matter Of opinion, and /
can tell you something that ought to
interest the manufacturers of Wheeling,
and which ! know to be a fact,
Before natural gas was introduced
into Wheeling, a company Of Pittsburgh
capitalists, among them many men Of
prominence, bored for oil on the Burley
farm, some distance north OF Mounds
vile. They did not reach oil, but they
did get a good flow OF gas, The well
was plugged with difficulty, One day
when the Pittsburgh stockholders were
down, l visited the well with them,
The plug was taken out, and a steam
gauge attached. screwed q heavy cast
iron cap on the top Of the three-quarteI
inch gauge pipe, and the gas blew II of
with force In q second. The flow was az
great as any Of the wells in the Hickory
field, and 1t has the advantage OF being
only about seven or eight miles from
the city, There is no doubt that an
abundance OF gas can be found there,
The works at Benwood are not four
miles from the supply"
The question was asked, and Is a peril
nent one, why Wheeling manufacturer
should not cease kicking about the pool
gas supply and go out into Marshal
county and investigate the field there
A little enterprise would give them ar
abundant supply, within easy reach
under their own control. II such al
opportunity was at The disposal OF al
Ohio or Indiana town, 1t would be pipet
and ready for use in thirty days.

New York, April 3,-The Musical
Union in this city is endeavOring to pre-
vent the landing here Of strolling bands
from Europe, Almost every incoming
German steamer has on board u score or
moro Of musicians, who have been in the
habit of coming here in the spring and
returning in the fall with the money
earned during the summer. 1t is urged
that such immigrants come within the
provisions Of the foreign contract labor
act, but heretofore they have es.
capped detention by swearing that they
came as individuals and not us bands
under leaders, When the steamer West
ernland arrived this morning from Ant
werp, Superintendent Simpson Of the
landing bureau at Castle Garden, dis.
covered that there were no less than
400 musicians on board, nearly all Of
them having spent the summer here for
years past. Many Of the leaders were
recognized. Representatives OF the
Musical Union learned Of the influx and
at once urged n strict investigation. The
suggestion is made that they can DO held
under the pauper act, II evidence snot
forthcoming TO warrant their return
under the foreign contract labor law. A
representative Of the Knights Of Labor
