NATURAL AND POLITICAL GAS.

One of Quay's Men Overcome by the
Former and Aroused by the Latter.
WASHINGTON, April 25. - Boss Quay
came very near losing one of his most valu-
able deutenants last night After pro-
longed conference with Senator Quay as to
the best method of electing Quay delegates
to the state convention, David Martin, col
lector of internal revenue and deputy boss
for Philadelphia, retired to his room and
shortly went to sleep turning out the one
gas JET then burning. A servant had incau-
tiously turned on another gas jet which was
pouring out unlighted gas into the room.
Fortunately the transom over the door was
open or Mr.. Martin would have been
asphyxiated.
AROUSED WITH DIFFICULTY.
As it was, when bell-boy went to wake
him for an early breakfast in order that he
might keep an engagement with Senator
Quay, he had great difficulty in arousing
him. However, he was all right after a
bracing interview with Senator Quay, and
went home this afternoon apparently none
the worse for his narrow escape. Owing
to the name the report of Mr. Martins ad-
venture caused many inquiries as TO the
health of Mr.. Martin of Texas, who cele-
brated his arrival in Washington by blow
ing out the gas.

A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
The House Committee Opposed to the
Australian Ballot System.

The House Committee Opposed to the
Australian Ballot System.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is possible
that the Hoar republican caucus committee
will strike out of Mr.. Lodges election bill
the Australian ballot feature, perhaps
adding superfiuous permission to the states
to adopt the Australian system if they see
fit. The majority of the republicans of the
House are opposed to the Australian ballot
system usually for no better reason
than because ex-President Cleye5
land favors it, The bill which the Hoar
caucus committee will probably adopt will
be a scheme providing for federal control
of federal elections by the appointment of
election officers, differing from Mr.. Hoar's
bill, which puts all power in the hands of
supervisors. The republican leaders count
on the caucus to bring the party together
in support of some bill.

ade, ''ale," and ''gin' figure He did not

THE DIVORCE MILLS GRIND.

Lot of Grist Turned In and Some of it
Turned Out.
F. c. Pitcairn, commissioner in the di-
vorce case of George B. Michel against
Anna B. Michel, filed his report yesterday.
The couple were married in 1881 and lived
in Beaver Falls, and shortly after began to
disagree. The wife refused to wash the
dishes, and he ate off unwashed ones. She
took their infant to a tailor shop
where he worked and left it in
his care, refusing to mind it at
home. When he demanded that she care
for it, she tied it to pump on the street
and left it there. In the fall of 1888 she
let him, accusing him of intimacy with
Mrs. Hufnagle. In her testimony the wife
alleged that her husband was in the habit
of kissing girls in his employ, even in her
presence, and on one occasion he held both
herself and Miss Annie Geisler on his
knee at the same time. The wife did not
object to his actions while done in spirit
of fun, but when he was in earnest and ran
after the girls and hugged them, then she
entered protest.
A divorce was granted yesterday in the
case of Ellen Highlands against Alexander
Highlands on the ground of desertion. A
suit for divorce was entered yesterday by
Elizabeth Lucas against Scott R. Lucas.
The plaintiff says they were married on Feb
ruary 4, 1880, and that he has since imposed
certain indignities upon her, compelling her
to do manual labor. Suit was also entered
by Sarah Jane Lintz against George W.
Lintz for divorce. 81. T. Watson was ap-
pointed commissioner in the case of Ida J.
Mullen against Joseph Mullen, and D. F.
Reardon in the case of Caroline Whitehead
against Richard Whitehead.
