Can natural gas anywhere be relied
upon as fuel ? A few days ago the
stoppagc of the flow of the great Jumbo
well at Somerset, Ind, was announced.
Next day the news came that the gas
well in the Grcensburg district, In
diana, were peterng OUT and now
come reports from Pittsburgh, that has
been rcveling for ten years in the
abundance of her natural gas supply,
thai just as winter is setting in, the
flow from natures big alembic is sud
denly running short. 1t is admitted
that the only hope of keeping up the
supply at Pittsburgh lies in the open
ing of new territory.

THE RE-RATING SCANDAL,

The scandals and complications
growing out of Corporal Tanners brief
but brilliant career as a surplus
smasher are apparently as yet only in
the earlier stages OF unravclment.
Secretary Noble, in his cndcavors to
probe them 10 the bottom, arrived Il
few days ago at a point which con-
WINGED him that Tanners action was
worse than stupid laundering that,
in short, il was corrupt. This was so
evident in the case of the clerks in the
pension Office itself, who he found had
entered into conspiracy among them
selves by hard swearing to increase
the pensions Of each other, that he
decided on Thursday, at one stroke, TO
dismiss seventeen of them as clearly
guilty, and as many more are in pro-
cess Of investigation with their official
heads hanging by thread.

Frances f.. Willard is not only a host
in herself in the temperance army,
but has taken up the cause of dress re-
form with equal vigor. Inyeighing
recently against what she called "the
cyerlastingly befrilled, bedizoned and
bedraggled style of dress among fash
ionable ladies of the day, she exclaimed ;
Catch Edison and construct him in
side IA wasp waistcOat, and he sure
you'll get no more inventions: bind a
hustle upon Bismarck, and farewell to
German unity: coerce Robert Brown
ing into corsets, and you'll have no
more epicS: put Parnell into petticoats,
and home rule is lost cause.
On the whole, it would look rather
queer to see the gentlemen named in
such a rig.

Another caS,s celebye will probably
grow out the murder of Stephen Pet
tus, in New York, on Thursday, by Il
Mrs. Southworth. 1t is another case
of the fury OF "a woman scorncd. ,
Pcttus was a wealthy business man
with an invalid wife. He had form
ed an acquaintance with Mrs. South
worth a gay and dashing young widow,
inyeigled her into an assignation
house, where he drugged and dcbauch-
ed her; and in revenge the woman, in
the midst of the moving crowd, in
Fulton street, at 10 o'clock in the
shot him dead.

The people of Western Central Hi
n0is, who are suffering previously
from plague of rats, that are eating
fields of corn and destroying corn
cribs, attribute the phenomenal abun-
dance of rodents to last years mild

winters, why is not the whole south
overrun with rats, where the winters
are ALWAYS mild?

Chicago had dark day last Thurs
day. The weather was damp, cold
and foggy-(be careful not TO drop the
-" at the end Of the word damp.
About II o'clock A. N. IL was dark rs
ordinary midnight, so that people on
their way down town turned about
and hurried home, believing the end
of the world had come. A group of
terrified ladies on the Madison street
bridge were paralyzed by an ancient
lady with gold spectaclcs quoting to
them blood-curdling passages from
Revelations, but who was finally
silenccd by an old colorcd mau, with "A

cause Of the extraordinary observation
was, that Chicago had suddenly be-
come "A storm center, which would
soon pass ovcr-as it did. Perhaps the
strongest effect of the darkness was

the time was testifying in the Cronin

Cronin to his death, was a dapple grey,

Now that Brazil has quietly lifted
Dom Pedro from his thrown and
shipped him to his kindred across the

more looms grandly upon the Spanish

Chicago is about to change the name
of La Sale st. to Crerar street When
old millionaire Brown dies and, like
Crerar, gives the city couple of mil
lion, the name of Washington street
will probably be changed to Brown
street. La Sale discovered and Wash
ington gave freedom to the territory
that has made Chicago; but what is
such service compared to the gift of a
couple millions of dollars?

The question in Montana seems to
be a very single one. The democrats
have majority, consisting of MEM
beers whose election has been certified
to by the various county clerks; the
republicans have a majority consisting
of members whose election is certified
to by the State returning board. The
latter board was created for the sole
purpose of canvaSsing and announcing
the vote Oh the adoption of the consti-
tuition under which Montana could be
admitted as IA State. The members Of
the legislature were elected under the
territorial laws, which knew no return
ing board, but made the certificates Of
the county clerks the sole evidence of
their election. Tn" authority of the
returning board is to act &c post tdcto,
which is no authority at all.
