Gen. Bro,cn,s Fidelffu.

I Among the many admirable quail
tiles possessed by Gen. John c..
Brown, which distinguished him in
avery department: OF life, was his
fidelity to duty. In whatever po-
sition he was placed he had the
highest sense OF his responsibility
and devoted his earnest and ener-
getic nature to the thorough per-
Torrance OF his duties. He was
prompt, decisive, direct, systematic
and painstaking and what he did
be did well and faithfully. In the
army, as a soldier and commander,
he was always busy man, never
relaxing effort until every detail o!
duty for which he was sponsible
had been perfot med. His staff OF
fcers were kept constantly at work
every day until the minutest mat
tiers concerning the welfare and
safety of his command had been at
tended to. There was no commGn
der in the army who was more Is
borious in the discharge of his
grave responsibilities than Gen.
Brown. and none in whom more con
fdence was reposed by his superior
3officers and the officers and men in
command. The same fine and alcrl
3sense OF responsibility and scupu-
lous fidelity TO duty characterized
{him 10 politics and in high offices
of state. He could be implicitly
depended upon, and his career in
public office is illustrious and hon
orable. When he retired with hon
or from political and entered bust
ness life, the qualities which had
made him conspicuous in other
fields of activity enabled him to
make a notable success. He hat
the good judgement, the force and
decision of character, the method.
cal habit and the fidelity and id
tegrity OF purpose which compelle
confidence and made success easy

Mr.. IlIsley Predicts That Natural Gas VIII
Last for Years.
Mr.. W. E. Schmertz went to New York
last night on business of great Importance
to Pittsburg, so he said. He was provok-
ingly non-committal as to its import, but
will divuIge when he comes back. Mr..
Schmertz has in his possession the report of
Mr.. Illsley, who was sent out here by New
York syndicate to look into natural gas.
The gentleman, he said, was in the city
about three weeks ago, and when he lett
Mr.. Schmertz was afraid his report would
be unfavorable.
Indeed" said he, II was greatly sur
prised when read the report. 1t has never
been published. Mr.. Illsley says that
natural gas will not give out for years to
come. He visited all the known gas fields,
and is convinced that the supply is almost
inexhaustible. He argues that God when
he gives to, humanity is never niggardly.
This is true of oil and coal, which is still
found in abundance, and is true also of
natural gas. Mr.. Illsley holds that the
palmy days of gas are yet to come. l wish
that all Pittsburgers could read his report
and take courage.
"The PHILADELPHIA Company is putting
more gas in the city to-day than it ever did
before. On cold days, when the mills are
in full blast, it is proven that 33T per cent
more gas is consumed. This is why it gives
out in certain parts of the city. There is
really plenty of gas all the time, but not
enough to supply the increased amount
used. More wells should be bored. This
will avoid the shortage"

HARRISBURG, March 13.-Representa-
tive Dravo has received a letter from T.
Mellon, of T. Mellon & Sons Bank, of
Pittsburg, accompanying a remonstrance
against the 8-mill tax. The letter says:
Without f1attery, 1 think no one of
our members in the House better under
stood the truth of the economic principle
that all such taxes fall upon the uses
of consumer, as the case may be. You may
tax an industry out of existence. but if 1t lives
its patrons must pay operating expenses and
some profits to the stockholders, beside. A tax
on gross receipts is meant to tax where there is
no profts-to tax the weaklings out of exist
ence. and this is against public policy.
The letter concludes by stating that those
who feel themselves aggrieved by "such ex-
tortion" will try to protect themselves by
combination, land between this and the
next election for members and State officers.
try to open the eyes of the workingmen and
business men to the fact that the assertions
of demagogues to the effect that such tax
on soulless corporations is the sheerest nom
sense"
In harmony with the foregoing was the
accompanying petition, prepared and signed
at meeting of representatives of street car
companies and other companies and CORPORA
tions in Pittsburg, on March 9. T. Mellon
presided and George Follansbee was Secre-
tary. The petition is signed by

MANAGER JAMES MUTRIE, of the New

last night No one knows where he went, but
it is rumored that he has gone to see Mike
Tiernan. Mike has disregarded all requests
that have been made for his appearance in this
city, so it is said, and there is no doubt but
that the New York's manager has become un-
easy. 1iernan has made a demand for big
increase in salary which the club has refused

You see, he wasn't overworked last season,
like good many 2-year-olds we're, and there is
not an unsound spot about him. l don't pro-
pose to overwork him this season, either. and
unless some accident happens, he will be the
boss of the turf for some time to come. AS
have said before, l don't intend to start Knott
in the derby, because the training necessary to
20 that distance and carry the weight would be
too hard. He will start at Memphis, and per-
haps at Lexington and Nashville, but only
enough to exercise him. He will race here,
too, for that matter. but not in any of the big
stakes.n

IN A VERY BAD BOX.
Allegheny Councils May Not Have Quorum
To-Night-some Very Important Mat
fer. r eouirip1 Immediate Atfeutfou.

Allegheny Councils May Not Have a Quorum
To-Night-some Very Important Mat
ters Requiring Immediate Attention.
The meeting of Allegheny Councils to-
night will be one of the most, if not the
most, important held during the year. All
the business that is before that body must
be disposed of finally or it will be
dead. The session will be a
long one, as matters that cannot
be delayed will come up for consideration.
Among them are the appropriation ordi-
nance and the awarding OF the contract for
fuel at the water works. The former will
undoubtedly go through. as the appropria-
tions must be made before the close of the
fiscal year, but as the ordinance cannot be
passed in both branches of Councils on the
same evening special meeting of the Com
mon branch will be held on Monday night.
There will be trouble on the fuel contract
for the water works which may cause some
very strange complications. AS published
in this paper the other day the contract for
fuel was awarded to Charles Jutte, the coal
operator, his bid being 81 99per 100 bushels,
while the Allegheny Heating Company bid
S22, 900 for supplying enough gas to run the
works for year beginning April 1.
This Is an increase of $4,000 over
the cost of gas last year. The committee
objected to the advance, and recommended
the coal bid, which Mr.. Armstrong, Super
intendent of the water works, claims will
make the cost of the fuel S35, 900 year.
There was strong opposition to the move
ment to return to coal, but the motion was
carried by a vote of to 8, Mr.. Henricks
not voting because he is interested in the
natural gas company.
This action caused great deal of talk
among the Councilmen, and several of them
appeared last night and began to figure on
the two bids. Mr.. Mcdonald, who had
voted for coal, spent two hours time last
night in investigating the matter. He be-
ieves that coal will be cheaper, but COM
parison of figures with the expenditures for
fuel in 1885 when natural gas was intro
duced shows that coal cost SIC, ,349 OF and
gas for 109 days, s., ,283 IS.
At this time only 13,000,00 gallons of
water were pumped each day, and now the
capacity Of the water works is 20,000, 900
gallons day.
The report will go into Councils tonight
recommending the return to coal, but it is
said minority report will also be pre-
sented showing that if the contract is not
awarded to the natural gas company the
city will lose about S13,0

j. Wesley Kinnear, Esq, yesterday en-
tered suit in Common Pleas Court No. on
behalf of Daniel Humphries against the
National Benevolent Association of Indian
apolis, which has an agency in this CITY, to
recover 81, 900, the amount of a policy held
by Humphries. 1t is alleged that on Sep
tember II, 1887, HumphrIes took out poll
cy for 81, 900, to be paid, in case of acciden-
tai death or total disability occasioned by ac-
cident, the defendant agreeing therein to
pay full death benefit in case of total disa-
bility, such as would be the case if he were
to lose both hands or both feet or both eyes,
On June 15, plaintiff was struck in the eye
by chip and the striking is alleged to
have been an accident.
He had lost one eye some years previous
to taking out the policy and that fact is
alleged to have been known by the agent
who wrote it. After the loss of the other
eye plaintiff was totally disabled and with
in 36hours after, had to be led on the streets
and has been in that condition ever since
and is now entirely blind. Some time after
the accident, Humphries alleges, the agent
of the company told him there was nothing
due him under the terms of the policy, hold
ing that the sight of the second eye injured
had been lost on account of the loss of the
first, but that as a matter of charity he, the
agent, would give plaintiff $40 for surren-
der of the policy. He says. he gave it up
without knowing the effect and being
pressed by poverty, with sick wife and
number of small children on his hands
Since then, however, Humphries has made
up his mind that the agents reasoning was
fallacious and that the reason for non-pay
ment assigned is of no force, hence the suit.
The plaintiff lives in n boat house at the
foot of South Twenty-second street.
