AT WORK on THE RUINS.
No Clue Yet of the Author of the South
Wheeling Fire.

Wheeling Fire.
There is little doubt in tho minds OF
those conversant with the situation and
surroundings that the fire of Monday night,
which caused the destruction of Fishers
planning mill, was of incendiary origin.
While some quiet endeavOrS have been
made to obtain a clue as TO the guilty par
ties. the origin of the ire remains as much
"A mystery rs ever. and the author Of the
heniOus work still remains in the dark
A crew of men were busily at work yes
terday morning on the charred remains OF
the building under the personal direction OF
the Messrs. Fisher, who were themselves
among the hardest and most hopeful work
ers among the debris. The wreck Is being
overhauled. and the machines taken out as
fast as possible, when the ground Will be
Immediately cleared preparatory to the
erection of a new mill. There were some
thirteen or fourteen of these machines IN
the building at the time of the fire. and
they are probably so damaged by fire and
water as 10 be an almost total loss, although
one or two of the simpler machines, with
considerable repairing, may be made 10 do
second service. Mr.. 4. G.. Fisher,
the senior partner of the firm,
has been in the lumber and
planning business for the last eighteen years,
and with the experience al ms colhihdhu
will probably erect still more convenient
and c0mmOdiOus mill.
As an instance of the intense heat that
prevailed III the heighth of the fire large
iron rods and mauv metal tiXings in the
building, together with parts OF machines
were bent into shapes almost uurecogniza-
ole.
An incident of the fire which was not re-
corded yesterday morning was the fact
that Mr.. A. c. Fisher left his coat in the
building and it was consumed. In one Of
the pockets of the coat was a pocketbook
with SD in it.

Bridgeport.

As it Seems to be Administered Over In
Bridgeport.
During the early portion of Monday even
ing, Mr. Ed. t'itZsmmOns, Wheeling
hack-driver, had occasion TO pass through
bridgeport with fare and on driving
ND to the toll-gate, west of town, TO pay hi s
toll. he had the misfortune to come in COLI
sion with Martins Ferry gentleman, who
was out driving or riding with his wife.
The fault seems to have been as much that
of the Martins Ferrian as of
the Wheelingite, but the latter made
apologies, which were replied TO by the man
from Martins Ferry with some not very
choice epithets The Wheeling man drove
TO his destination, and on his return was
arrested by policeman. but the officials
frankly acknowledged that they had no
charge TO prefer a. that time. After an
hour or so spent in parley, the Wheeling
man came over 10 this side of the river, but
returned yesterday, with his employer,
when he was arrested on a warrant charg-
ing him with driving faster than five miles
an hour. the warrant appearing TO be the
production of an attorney. who had been
retained bv some one ION the other side.
Bail was asked and given, after the
defendant had returned at two o'clock in
the afternoon, by request OF the officials
but Just as the matter was supposed 10
have been settled, another warrant was
served on the Wheeling man, charging hin
with driving on the.left-hand side Of the
road. Bail in the sum of $50 was given in
his case, and the grave charges viii
likely come up for consideration in due
course.
The Wheeling man had good many
| friends during the course of the trouble
men worth in the aggregate So, 900 or $40,
| 600 going on his bond in one case, and offer
| ing to do so in the other. \ damage sui

Price of Natural Gas Raised.

The Philadelphia Company according TO
the Pittsburg Times, has raised the price
of natural gas for glass factories 40 per
cent. for the coming year, and the pros
poets are that the price will be raised for
other factories and private consumers.
The price of natural gas for glass factories
was $50 pot This has been raised TO $40
pot In consequence Of this rate there IS
a movement among some OF the glass
manufacturers of Pittsburg TO seek new
locations where natural gas is cheaper. 1t
is understood that several Pittsburg iron
firms are preparing to put in artificial fuel
gas furnaces on account of the decrease in
the amount Of natural gas and its increas-
inc cost
