Damala's Death Due to Over-Eating of Nor

PARIS, Aug. 25.-Only by the death OF
Damala do the public learn what Sarah
Bernhardt had to bear with him In the last
three years. 1t is an open secret that his
death was brought on by overdoses of NOR
phine and cocaine. Berbardt has done her
best to wean her husband from this habit,
even employing mesmerist to put him to
sleep at night after returning from the the
ater. But Damala, while protesting to his
wife to be cured, bought drugs in secret.
Quantities of them were found In his bed
room after his death. They robbed him OF
all his strength of body and mind. Sarah,
after a public funeral. had a real funeral,
according to Greek rites. The dead man
was dressed in full evening costume and
placed in an arm chair. around which were
lighted candles. Large numbers of prayers
for the dead were recited by the arehi-
mandrite, assisted by four priests. The
only persons present were Sarah Bernhardt,
her sister, NM. GregOrie and Cooper,
friends of the deceased, and the police in
spectOr of the district.

AS to- this matter Of regulating the over
head service IN the city, | may say that an
investigation Of all the wires overhead, III.
stituted since | have been connected with
the work of the authorities III charge OF
electrical matters here, by the inspectors
appointed after a rigid examination, fOand
competent for the purpose, has shown
that a great deal of very bad and unne-
cesSarily dangerous work has been done
in New York, and that q reprehenSi-
Bile and fnexcusable condition Of overhead
wires is the principal, if not the only cause
Of th8 clamor for underground service.
In addition to this, an enormous quaint
ty of wire and a large number of poles not
in use at all exist, amounting, as has been
Vari0usly estimated, to from a half to two
thirds Of all the wire and poles in the
city.
One has no idea of the aerial freeboOtins
that is and always has been going on
with overhead wires. until he spends some
time seeing what there is overhead. The
condition of wires in this city is simply
outrageous.

the poles, but will chop off wires owned by
others without notice. Tn telephone peo-
ple object to the electric light wires on ac-
count Of the induction. Where there is
q line of light wires on their side OF the
street passing close to their poles, hey
will not allow them to be made fast. The
result of the necessity thus made for ex-
ira poles is sometimes four lines OF poles
on one side of the street. Hence most OF
the wires swing close to or against the
other poles to which they are not attached,
and line-men, in climbing them, have to
crawl through all the other wires which
are not fastened to cross arms.
Among the cases of dangerous wires and
unnecessary distractions found by the IN
sppctors are full lines of large poles rX-
tending over miles Of streets, filed with
wires which are 'topen' and out OF use,
but left standing to save the expense Of
removal, long lines of poles left standing
to preserve right of way, are light day
circuits within reach and with the insnla-
ton dropping off, and lunches of dead
wires hanging from house tops, etc

"The Woolwich Infant

The growth of the "WoolwiCh Infant'
has been remarkable. 1t is not so long
since the 81-ton muZzle loader, with MS
breech protected by wrought iron easing,
aStonished the world. The latest develop
ment is the 110-tOn rifled breech loader,
made of the finest steel throughout. rms
gun is forty, three feet i'll length, and can
carry u Palliser shot of 1000 pounds
weight % distance of over seven miles.
The tube is protected by jackets OF steel
from end TO end. It has several of these
castings at the breech, tapering Oft to only
one at the muzzle. Formerly 1T was con-
Sidered unnecessary to encaSe the guns at
the muZzle, but on one occasion When a
great Gun was being ~eXperlmentally hred,
the tube cracked, and it was therefore
decided to prevent the recurrence OF SUCH
an accident by protecting the guns WIN

ture. These guns are forged by means
of the great Nasmyth steam hammer,
which weighs no fewer than 40 tons, ana
has a striking force equal to IOOO tons.
This monster tool i'll operation presents Il
spectacle of weird magnifcence. The
adjacent furnace being opened, a Scorch-
ing glow is thrown over the wOrkmen and
the SnectatOrs, and a great mass OF white
hot metal is revealed amid the fierce flames
within. The wOrkmen, accustomed to
defy the heat, approach the furnace and
afix the claws of a giant crane to the
glowing metal. Then the fiery mass is
lifted into the air and gently deposited
bv the crane upon the anvil beneath the
great hammer Crash The building trem-
bles, and the very earth shakes as the
hammer descends, and a shower OF sparks
fly from the glowing steel, which yields
like putty to the blows. Not many
strokes of the Titanic hammer suffice to
beat the metal into the requisite shape

GOOD NEWS FROM THE PARK.
The Ore and Bullion 0utput-Trade at
Home and Abroad-Real Estate
And Building.

The commencement of the work or the
big hotel was the big event Of the week.
The selection of the corner of First East
and Third South as the site for the struct-
ure has shown how real estate can be sud
denly advanced in price-how it may jump
from 500 to S40G and $500 foot in the space
of night. The erection of the hotel will
surely be followed by the springing up OF
business houses in the vicinity, and who
knows but that before many years have
passed First East will be second Main
street
The real estate business now being done
is simply phenomenal, and there are daily
indications that the present boom is but
the advance guard of an. excitement that
will double discount the furry of the spring
of 1885, We hope not. The present steady
stream is preferable to roaring, raging
torrent.
There is no cry of hard times in Salt
Lake. There is not a merchant, contractor,
builder, mechanic or professional man but
who has all the business he deserves. Even
the croakers are silenced for once. Speak
ing of the produce and shipping business,
Mr.. E. E. Rich, who is an authority on the
subject, says there has never been time
in the history of the city when everything
was so prosperous and promising. The
only trouble, he says, is to get in enough
goods to supply the demand.

Natural Gas a Wild Mineral.

The question was involved in the case of
the Westmoreland Natural Gas company
VS.. De Witt ct al, decided recently by the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, whether
the possession of certain gas on leased land
went with the possession of the land. The
compliments had put down well which
had tapped the as-bearing strata, and it
was the only one on the land. They had it
in their control, having only to turn on a
valve to have it flow into their pipes for
ready use. The court held that the fact
that they did not keep it flowing, but held
it generally in reserve, did not affect their
possession any more than mill owner af-
fects the continuance of his water rights
when he shuts down sluice- gates. The
court said Water, oil, and still more
strongly gas, may be classed by themselves,
if the analogy be not too fanciful,
as mineral fer8 natur8. In common with
animals, and unlike other minerals, they
have the power and the tendency to escape
without the violation of the owner =
They belong to the owner of the land and
are part of it so long as they are in 1t and
are subject to his control, but when they
escape and go into other land or come
under another's control the title of the
former owner is gone. Possession is not
necessarily possession of the gas. If an
adjoining, or even a distant owner drills
his own land and taps your gas, so that it
comes into your well and under his control,
it is no longer yours but his. And equally
so between lessor and lessee. In the present
case, the one who controls the gas has it in
his grasp, so to speak, is the one who has
possession, in the legal as well as the ordi-
nary sense of the word.
