A NEW TURNER HALL.

The Allegheny Turuverein Is about to Build
nm Edii,e With the Largest Gymnasium
in the Two Cities.
The plans for new Turner Hall in
Allegheny are now being made by The
architect, and the first stone is to be laid by
April /.
The new hall is to be the property of the
Allegheny Turnverein, whose headquarters
were destroyed by fire about a year ago.
The cost of the new building will amount to
over $4,000, and it will occupy the site of
the old one on South Canal street, ALLIE
gheny. The material to be used in its con-
struction will be sandstone and brick.
The gymnasium hall will not only be the
largest, but also the most complete in ap-
pointments, in the two cities. The dimen-
sions will be 44x76 feet. 1t will also be
from 35 to 40 feet high. The ground floor
OF the gymnasium will probably be covered
with asphaltum, and the fittings and ap-
paratus are all to be new and of the most
novel designs.
The Allegheny Turnverein has the largest
class of children in the two cities, and, to
accommodate them all, is the principal rea-
son for making the gymnasium so large.
Outside of the gymnasium hall there will
be a very large room set apart for the sing
ing section of the Turnverein.
The hall proper, which is to be used for
dancing and theatrical purposes, will have
dimensions of 4Oy70 feet A large stage
will be added to that. and all the modern
Improvements are to be introduced to make
it suitable for these purposes.
Mr.. Josef StilIburg is the architect of the
hall, and the plans will be on exhibition
next week.

NO GAS IN CALIFORNIA.
The Inventor of Water Gas Tells How
Westinghouse Missed il.

The Inventor of wntcr Gas Tells How
Westinghouse Missed ir.
Prof S. c. Low, the inventor of water
gas, was on the Limited last night, bound
for California.
Mr.. Low stated that he had sold out the
use of his process to the United Gas and
Improvement Company. He reserved the
country west of the Rocky Mountains and
few places in the United States, but the
balance he granted to this country. West
inghouse opened up negotiations with him,
but before they were closed the other con-
cern stepped in and secured the plum.
Now Mr.. Westinghouse is dickering with
this company, so the professor says, to Sc
cure certain privileges which he could have
had originally from the inventor.
Professor Low is going to manufacture
fuel gas out of California oil through the
aid of his water gas process. He says he has
tried, and met with success. He has also
secured concessions from Mexico to make
fuel gas there in the same manner. Asphal-
tum has been found in the country, and
this is always precursor of oil. A COM
pany has been formed to bore for it. In
answer to question he said:
I don't believe there is natural gas in Califor-
mia. All the gas has been lost in remote ages
through the violent volcanic eruDtions l think
it is useless for Mr.. Ashburner to spend his
time locating wells there.

is II A BOoMERANG2

The Mayor of the City Admits That the
City Made Ugly Mistakes in the Amos
keag Engine Award.
Mayor McCallin yesterday fled his sepa-
rate answer to the bill in equity fled by h.
E. Stafford against the Board of Awards, in
the matter of letting the fire engine con-
tracts. After admitting the facts az set
forth in a number of the paragraphs of the
bill, Mayor McCallin says:
Iadmit that the effect of the specifications
was to exclude bidders, as charged in para
graph 81 Of plaintiffs bill; but had nothing
to do with the preparation of the specihca-
tions, and therefore have no knowledge as to
whether they were drawn with the intention of
producing that result or not.
admit that said contract had not been fully
executed at the time the bill in this case was
filed: but am informed and believe thar, after
the bill had been filed and restraining order
granted, the same was approved by the Select
Councils of the city Of Pittsburg, having pre-
viousiy been approved by the Common Council
of said city. do not know whether It has yet
psrtrnent Of Public Safety. :. -,
admit that the price at which the contract
for said engines was awarded to the Manchester
Locomotive Worksis exorbitant. Ivoted against
investigation, 1 ascertained that the Manches-
ter Locomotive Works had charged the city Of
Pittsburg more for engines purchased by 1t
than had been charged to other cities for the
same class and grade Of engines, and also that
the engines manufactured by the competing
companies were superior to those manufactured
by the Manchester Locomotive Works, and
could be bought for less money.
was not consulted in regard to the PROPOSE
tion for test, made in the name of the De-
partment OF Awards and had no knowledge of
it until after 1t had been submitted to the
various companies.
Mayor McCallin also admits that the
price TO be paid to the Manchester Locomo-
tive Works (S5,000) Is much greater than
the bids of Clapp & Jones and La France
companies, for engines of the same require
ments, corresponding to the specifications;
that the engines Of the two latter companies
were to be equal, If not superior, in every
particular to the Amoskeag; and that there
was no money appropriated for the payment
of the engines, but that they were to be
paid for out of the sinking fund. The
Mayor believes to be true the paragraphs of
the bill which set forth that the boiler of
the Amoskeag engine is a fue and not
tubular boiler as required by the specif-
cations, and for this reason the contract
should be set aside; that tubular boiler is
superior in every respect to fue boiler;
that there was a guarantee given by the
Clapp & Jones Company, as to the per-
formance Of their engines, but that no such
guarantee was given by the Manchester
Company; and that Clapp & Jones invited
the Board of Awards to visit their works
and inspect their engines.

FOUND UNDER THE ICE,
Mrs. Joseph Nossack, of MiIIvale, Who
Had Evidently Committed Suicide.

Mrs. Joseph Nossack, of MiIIvale, Who
Had Evidently Committed Suicide.
Yesterday two men cutting ice at the
head of Herr's Island in the Allegheny
river discovered the body of woman.
They took it out and removed it to Herman
& Ebbert's undertaking rooms on Ohio
street, Allegheny. 1t was known that Mrs.
Clara Nossack, wife of Joseph Nossack, of
Millvale, was missing. and Mr. Nossack
was sent for. He identified the body at once.
Mrs. Nossack had been missing from
home for some weeks, and a reward for in
formation relating to her had been offered
by her husband, who is respectable resi-
dent of Millvale. She had left home, after
threatening to do herself harm, and was not
seen again after walking out of the house.
An inquest was held, and verdict of
suicide was rendered. Mrs. Nossack leaves
two children, the eldest being 4 years of age.
The last seen of Mrs. Nasseck alive was
on the evening Of January z. She was
standing at the end of the Forty-third street
bridge, accompanied by her little dog. The
next morning, when her husband started to
hunt for her, the dog was still standing at
the bridge, aid this led to the conclusion
that she had committed suicide. Efforts
were Immediately made to find the body,
but without success.
