- TransDInnted-A
story.
Sitting on a beam that projects from White
river bridge sat a representative OF the most
independent of American types-a tramp.
Between his teeth he had a corn.cob pipe of
undoubted antiquity. He was clad in evening
dress, but his Prince Albert had, chameleon
like, changed hues. for when the reporter be-
held 1t it was of the beautiful yellowish drab
which distinguishes the amateur works OF art
entitled Sunset on the River" He didn't
have a much of pantaloons to speak of but
what little he had he probably wore
for modesty's sake. AS the reporter
strolled across the bridge the tramp
hailed him and invited him to share his seat on
a board. Had the reporter a match? Ger
tainly; perfectly willing to accommodate him.
The match biazed for a moment, and then went
out. Could he be accommodated with another?
Three matches were contributed before "Old
Hoss" was satisfied. Then the reporter was
successfully asked to furnish chew of tobacco,
the time OF the day and a general synopsis of
the styles of labor performed at the police sta
ton, work-house and friendly Inn, respect

The tobacco was slowed away for an emer.
geney. When the hour was mentioned he
frightened his waist-belt-for it was nearly noon
and listened attentively to the description OF

The Prospect to Supply Chicago With Nat
ural Gas From Indiana.
FORT WAYNE, Nov. g. Especial. ! The
Hon. r. c. Bell of this city, attorney and In
diana director of the Indiana aud Illinois
natural gas company. in speaking tonight of
to-day's decision of the Indiana supreme court
holding it lawful to pipe natural gas
beyond the limits of the state said that Chi
cago may expect to see natural gas burning in
its homes within ninety days.
A company has been formed with a capital
stock of g, 100000; $1,000 acres of gas lands
have been secured by lease or purchase
the surveys have been made, and
with no further legal embarrassments in the
way the work will be commenced at once and
pushed vigorously to completion. 1t
is thought that it will only be
attempted at first to supply gas for
doubtless soon secure it. 1t is hardly to be
pected that the well pressure will be sufficient
to force the gas through 100 miles of mains, and
on this account one, and possibly two, pneu-
matte pumping stations will be required. The
line will run through Logansport
and Valparaiso and both will be supplied.
Hammond, Ind, is, by the articles of the asso-
citation, made the western terminal of
the line, but plans for leading the
pipes into the city are already well
advanced. The parties interested In the gigan-
tic scheme are mostly from Chicago and New
York. Mr.. c. NJ. Fay, at the head of the Chi
cagO gas trust company, is the president of the
Indiana and Illinois gas company. Other
Chicago gentlemen of wealth are also
heavily backing the enterprise. 1t is
said that the street franchise has been provided
for. The scheme of piping gas to Chicago has
been vigorously opposed in the Indiana courts
and it might exhaust the supply for use
at home Should the supDly prove insufficient
pected that Chicago could utilize the supply
in competition with places located much nearer
the wells. Besides this it is believed by those
best informed that the supply is practically as
inexhaustible as water.
