A PosTOFFICE THIEF.
One Of Postmaster Lewis Appointees
in Cell

ATLANTA, GA, April 3.-Two weeks ago
Nelson ID. Martin, one of the negroes re-
Gently appointed by Gen. Lewis to posi-
tons in the Atlanta postofIice, was arrested
for robbing registered letters. His prelim-
mary trial before the federal commissioner
was postponed until to-day, when evidence
was produced to show that he had com
mitted several such robberies Martin,
pending his examination, had been released
on $500 bond, and when the deputy
marshal started out to enforce the warrant
issued he found his prisoner in the station
house, charged with drunkenness. The
deputy made no effort to interfere with the
city authority, but left Martin in the city
prison, instructing the officers to hold him
long enough for the government to get a
whack at him. The evidence against the
prisoner is said to be conclusive.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
VICE PRESIDENT BRYAN GIVES UP SIX
THOUSAND DOLLARS OF HIS PAY.
Illinois Central Tracks Are to be Run
Along the Lake Front in Tunnel.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Vice President
Bryan, OF the local Worlds Fair Associa-
tion, was some time ago voted salary of
S12. 900 per annum, on the understanding
that he would devote his entire time to the
work In hand. The reorganization of the
work under bureaus since that time has
rendered it unnecessary for him to give his
exclusive attention to Worlds Fair matters,
so he to-day announced that he had decided
to accept only $4,000 of the salary voted
him.
The chief question involved in the use of
the Lake Front Park for Worlds Fair pur-
poses has been the disposition of the tracks
of the Illinois Central Railroad. As at
present located, they make the use of filled
land beyond them impracticable, and thus
far it has been impossible to agree upon any
plan to obviate the difficulty. The abutting
property owners, the Worlds Fair directory,
and a committee of the Councils have finally,
however, agreed upon an ultimatum which
will be submitted to the Illinois Central.
The plan contemplates q subtelranean ar
cade right of way 800 feet wide from Monroe
street to Twenty-second.
The tracks are to be sunk until the top Of
the right of way, or arcade, shall be on a
level with Michigan avenue. This will put
them out of sight. The west line of the new
right OF way is to be contiguous to the east
line of the present right of way. The rail-
road company is also to be given the priv
ilege of filling in the submerged lands of
Monroe street to the government dock line,
and in consideration for this privilege the
company gives up its present right of way
to Twenty-second street and whatever claim
it may have to the three blocks of ground
lying west of Michigan avenue, between
Randolph and Monroe streets, together with
riparian right claims. This last provision
is the most important one, and the one to
which the company will doubtless object
more strenuously than to any other.

TO-DAY MAY DECIDE
The Future Prospects of the Gas Well
at the Exposition.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
A Gentleman Who Wants the City to Go
Into Business.
THE LATEST FROM THE OIL CENTERS

The Exposition gas well was not drilled
any yesterday and work will not be resumed
until noon to-day There is no little interest
centered in the result of deeper drilling, and
in the next "a hours the drill will in all
probability tell the story.
There is one other important feature in
connection with the we'll and that is the
B-foot vein of coal discovered at GAO feet.
In a conversation with F. L. Grubbs, of the
Oil Well Supply Company, he said to The
DISPATCH scout that in his opinion the
most important event connected with the
drilling of the Exposition well was the dis
covery of vein of superior Pittsburg coal
which evidently underlies the cities OF Pitts
burg and Allegheny and the river beds, at
4 depth that would assure the successful
working of 1t bv shaft at q nominal cost.
Continuing Mr.. Grubbs said: "What is
TO prevent the city OF Pittsburg from apply
ing to the Legislature for a franchise to
mine cDal laying under the three river beds
by sinking a shaft at the Point, and going
into the coal mining business on their own
hook. The franchise would obviate the ne
cessitv of purchasing the mining privileges
from the thousands of property owners in
the cities, and would give the Gas City the
right to undermine public domain"
This schemewas successfully carried outby
8 company on the YouG Ghlogheny river above
Connellsville some years ago, and to-day
that river is tunneed ior miles. Mr.. Grubbs
claims that his plan is feasible, and if oper-
ated on business principles, it would result
in great boon for Pittsburg. and would
not only be an important factor in liQuidat-
ing the bonded Indebtedness of the city, but
the revenue derived from the staple would
soon give Pittsburg reduced taxation, free
bridges and free water. This plan, of course,
would in no wav interfere with the develop
ment of gas In speaking of the gasser at
the Point it is but just to remark that the
Oil Well Supply Company are entitled to the
credit Of the discovery. These people, at their
own expense when the exhibition closed,
did not shut the we'll down, but continued
drilling. They were led to do so by their
knowledge of the geological formation OF this
vicinity, together with the record they pos
sessed of the old Haller, Beck & Co. salt
well drilled some 10 or 20 years ago Just
across the river from the Ex position grounds,
and in which flow of gas was struck suf-
aeient to supply their evaporators ever since.
