sary that the State should make proper
provision for the care of the insane, it is
necessary that the condition of admission
to the Asylum shall be made more rigid
than they are at present. Owing to the
large increase in the number of colored
patients it will soon be necessary, if it is
not already necessary, that permanent
provision shall be made for the establish
ment of a separate asylum for the colored
insane, and, as Governor Richardson
suggests, the question is sinply as to
whether this separate asylum shall be

During the past year there has been a
healthy increase in railroad building in

Richardson makes sundry recommends

commission, which will no doubt receive
due consideration from the Legislature.
The point of fmost general interest, how

the recommendation which he makes in

NATURAL GAS Enough

City, Found
AND WAITING FOR THE PIPES.
Strange Way in Which an Abund'
ant and Assured supply is Being
Overlooked by Those nav
Seeking Gss for Wheeling.

The INTRLLlGEScER some time ago
called the attention. OF those interested
in the movement to- secure an accessible
and reliable supply Of natural gas for
Wheeling, to the fact that on the Burley
farm, In Marshall county, not over eight
miles on a bee line from Wheeling, and
not over four from the Benwood indus
tries, a gas gusher had been struck
which was reliably said to be as strong
in flow as the average well in the Hlck'
DRY field,
Yesterday Mr.. G, S. McFadden, OF
Moundsvllle, was In the city, and an In
T~ELLldEECRR reporter asked him what
he knew about the Burley well, He
said:
'That well was abandoned aud the
casing pulled, The spot has been plow-
ed over and corn raised right on the
well, and yet II you 80 there to-day aud

present when the well was gauged-or
rather when an effort was made to
gauge 1t, The plug was in
duCed TO stay in only with diff
Guilty and after a dozen expedients
had been tried, Then the gauge went
spinning around till 1t indicated several
hundred pounds pressure, and the tube
below the gauge burst. That settled
the business, aud no further attempt
was ever made to test the well. The
company that boredit was alter oil and
had no use for gas.
NJ can tell you Of a better gas well Just
Us convenient to you, 1t is on the Riggs
farm, about a mile and a half southeast
Of the Burley well. Eight miles Of pipe
would bring that gas here. The owners
tried to test 1t with a 800 pound gauge,
but the pressure blew the gauge out In q
few seconds, Then a thousand pound
gauge was secured, and u one.minute
test taken, The result has been kept
secret.
"Those farms can he leased cheaply.

Moundsvlllei but there Is 4 great chance
for Hellaire or Wheeling"
All reports as to these wells agree that
they are good producers. They certain

possible results under the circumstances
would be obtained. He recalled the
trouble early in the year in awarding
garbage contracts, Granting that the
contracts were not fulfilled to tue letter,
he wanted to know II a better state OF
affairs would be brought about by for
letting the contracts and the bonds2 The
present contractors were hauling more
garbage new than their predecessors did.
Take away their contracts, and under
the ordinances there would have TO
be advertisements for new bids
for the removal OF garbage, published
q certain length Of time in the papers,
and the bids would hayeto he reported
70 Council and approved by 1t. BY the
time this could be- done there must GER
taiply be q sWeetscented collection Of
garbage In the city. DR., Campbell
would admit at any time that there
there might be great improvement in
the garbage system Of this city, but such
q reform would require new ordinances
and action by Council, and until these
were secured he questioned the wisdom
Of breaking down contracts that run till
next April, leaving the city in a bad
hole at a bad time OF the year. The
best that could be done was to see that
the contractors did the best they could,
and this he had e%ndeaYored TODD. With
reports Al to complaints such as asked
from the Health Officer, this work could

Jerome Mccormick, the Whitaker
mill employee who was accused Of making
two very peculiar attempts to wreck an
Elm Grove train Wednesday evening,
was arraignsd before Squire Davis yes
terday afternoon for a preliminary hear.
ing, Prosecuting Attorney Howard ap.
peared for the State and Capt. Dovener
for the defense, There was a big crowd
present, and u number OF witnesses
were examined. Conductor Kindle-
berger and the fireman on the train
both testified TO seeing Mccormick stOop
on the track with his back to the train
as It was backing west after finding the
tie on the track near Seibert's curve,
He was at a joint In the rail Just oppo-
site a tree standing south OF and near
the track, and they both declared they
saw between his legs, and saw a spike
in his hand, which he placed in the
crack Of the rails,
Col, A, A, Franzheim said he saw Nc
Cormick STOPPING on the track, but saw
no spike, Neither did he feel any Jar
as the car passed the spot where the
spike was supposed to be, It was after
this was passed that Mccormick board,
ed the car,
Mccormick told the same story he
told reporters Wednesday night, He
denied hayingstooped on the track at all,
The engineer and conductor both testi.
fed that the former told the latter lust
before reaching Mccormick, as he step,
ped of the track, that Mccormick had q
big stone ln'his hands, and was doubt
less going TO hit the conductor with ii,
In view OF this information Kindleber'
ger stepped in the car between two rows
OF passengers when he passed McOor-
mick, Others testified that Mccormick
held astone in his hand.
After hearing the evidence and argu,
ments Squire Davis held Mccormick in
$500 bail, and In default Of the bond he
was remanded to Jail, He expected to
give bond by this morning and resume
his work at the Whitaker mill.
An Elm Grove train hand said yester'
day that he had been one OF a party that
carefully examined the joints Of the
track where Mccormick was seen to
stoop, and there was not one where a
spike could be inserted, nor was there a
sign Of a spike having been In any joint,
