Afraid cf Natural Gas.

We take the following from
the Lancaster Eagle, of last
week:
Logan is again aeitating the
question Of drilling for mai nral
gas. They started a we'll down
there several years ago ana went
down several hundred feet struck
a small pocket of the vaiu. bic
fluid. 1t frightened the wits out
cf the haweaters, although Aow-
ing only about twenty-five OF
thirty thousand cubic feet per
day, and they abandoned the
we'll and took 10 the woods.
OF course, now. when the ques-
tion is again agila,ed IL finds
many oppossrs, and it is quite
evident that The citizens of the
Queen City Of tic Valley" will
be content 10 Law in their winter

pine knot, for many years 10
come. Brace up brother Green,
70 who has been DUBBED the
man afraid Of natural gas" and
sound that clarion voice of yours
through the columns Of the Sen.
tinsl in favor of enterprise of
this class. Teach AcGinty Pur-
cell also that he was badly mis-
taken in declaring in his famous
sp ech before the Citizens Gas
Meeting, that "lhe gas boom at
Lancaster had proved 10 be gas
and nothing but gas"
Of course we are afraid OF
natural gas. In a moment Of
weakness, before the citizens
gas meeting. We argued IN favor
of an adventure of discovery.
We had Columbus in our mind.
and thought that Logan might
by . venture discover something
TO her good. We were counted
out by Davenport and PurseIl,
and pigeon hoIed by Wsldy aud
Vickers.
We are aYaid slrce thss knock
down, of natural gas. If we had
natural gas it might be the
means of giving some Of our
people work. 1t might induce
the coming to our town OF more
people. 1t might result in the
ef more houses. Worse
than ali ii might result in giving
ns light and fuel at one half less
than We are now paying.
Our nelehboring town Of Mel
built upon 4 coal mine, |
from which we get the coal to |

We pay 81. Certainly We are
afraid of natural gas and electric

in two years. we will pay the |
sum Of $25. 900. The gas business
is the only paying business We
have in town, at this time. 1t

newspaper may be started but
no competing gas can be permit

PARNELL'S IRREGULARITIES.
The Great Irish Leader Very Super
stttious About Some Things.

An anonymous writer in one Of the London
papers gives some curious and little known
facts about Mr.. Parnell It appears that the
Irish leader is eminently superstitious in trivial
matters. He refuses to remain in room where
three candles are burning, and he regards
green as . peculiarly unlucky color. so much
SO that when the freedom Of the city of Dub
lin was to be conferred upon him be requested
that the lining Of the casket should not be
green but purple, the latter being his favorite
color and considered by him as very suspicious.
His chief relaxation is machine making, and
''if he reads at all he is student of specialist
writer is an enthusiastic admirer of the un-
crowned king and regards him as pre-emi-
nently the right man for his post, his very limi-
tations being in the writer's eyes only addi-
tional proofs OF his fitness for leadership. To
his other oddities he adds the inability to dis
tingush one tune from another

British and Irish noblemen now living on

while few are earning their living. The re-

FOR A FREE BALLOT.
Mr. Chalmers Says a Federal Election
Law Is Needed.

Hon. J. r. Chalmers of Mississippi made an
argument yesterday before the House commit
tee on the election Of President and Vice Pres
ident on the subject of the necessity of fed
eral election law for the state of Mississippi.
de declared that he did not come before the
committee to assail the white people of the
south, but merely to ask protection for the
white republicans of the south The negroes
we're able to speak fully for themselves. He
said that he would trust his life with south
ern democrat, but he declared that when
they stole or robbed the ballot boxes at
elections they thought they were doing God a
service. Congress should pass an act to en-
.o:ce IN the south the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution. 1t has been said that the
rtecrth amendment could not be enforced In
the southern states. This was a serious matter
'4d .eIJIfed attention. Congress had the
right he insisted to provide a federal election
law. IL was not necessary to apply the remedy
where Is was not needed, but where it was
needed there 1t should be applied. The super
vlsors OF elections would answer all purposes in
places where the elections were conducted
fairly, but where they we're not conducted
ialrly some other means must be at hand for
ms purpose. He thought a law might be
enacted providing that whenever a certain
number OF citizens asked for registration by
United states officials such request should be
granted.
Csn. Chalmers favored the bill introduced
by Representative Kelley of Kansas, with some
NOTIFICATIONS. as measure that would tend to
meet the needs which he insisted existed in
mississippi OF "a fair ballot"

THE RUNAWAY MONTANIANS.
They Are In st. Paul, Undecided Be
tween Canada and Montana,

Two fugitive democratic senators from Mon
tana arrived in st. Paul Tuesday evening o.
tensibly en- route for Canada. They are Sena-
tors Mcnamara and C. W. Hoffman. They reg
istered at the Ryan hotel upon arrival and they
have remained since, faltering between the in
structions Of their party leaders to 60 to Can
ada and the advice Of their friends to remain
where they are or return to their state and
their positions in the senate chamber. In
structions has been telegraphed them from the
leaders Of their party in Montana to start at
once for Canada, and avoid possibility OF arrest
in this country. 1t is asserted that Gov. Toole
wired them to use all possible haste to get out of
the country, it being the only shadow Of hope
to secure the seating of the two democrats in
the United States Senate. The forlorn hope is
that by preventing any legislation in Montana
there Is shadow of a chance that Clark and
McGinnis may secure the place they seek in
the United States Senate. The absence of all
OF the eight democratic senators from the state
Is absolutely necessary to prevent the legisa-
ture from transacting any business. The re-
port that they are to be arrested for perjury in
having violated their oath to support the con-
stitution of the state and that of the United
States, has reached them and they are consult
ing attorneys as to the proper course to pursue.

Brief COurtship.

The romantic marriage Of Miss Annie Lillge,
daughter of the Baroness Won Lindeman, to
Paul Baum, . waiter at the Duquesne club,
took place last evening at the baroness apart
ments ON Grand street, Pittsburg. The invita-
tons, which were issued few weeks ago. num-
bered about fifty, and the assemblage of guests
was very select Since the Baron Won Linde-
man some two months ago deserted the baron
ess and her daughter they have been living in
the greatest seclusion. His disappearance was
entirely unexpected, and while the baroness
was for time overcome with modification she
speedily regained her serenity of disposition
and is now said to congratulate herself that he
adopted the policy he did. She summoned to
her side her beautiful daughter Annie. who
heretofore had been living in Chicago, and it
was not long till the fair girl was betrothed to
MIR. Baum. who was fellow waiter of the
baron's at the same club. The baron, his wife
says. Is now working at the Hotel Lafayette,
Philadelphia. The baroness is a large, hand

THERE MAY BE LITIGATION
The New Orleans Exposition May Have
a Sequel I'm Court.

Apropos Of worlds fair matters it may be in
teresting to note that there is promise of a big
fight over some of the things which were left
undone when the New Orleans exposition came
to an undignitied conclusion. To aid that ex-
position Congress appropriated 81, 800, 900, with
the distinct understanding that if there was a
surplus when the show was over the money
should be turned into the United States treas
ury. BY the terms Of the appropriation an ac-
counting was to be rendered by the responsible
managers Of the affair, and because of their
lax business methods it is stated it looks u
though there was going to be trouble. A firm
OF lawyers has suggested to the Attorney Gen.
eral that the government Golfers might be en-

THE REVENUE MARINE.
A Report Advocating the Proposed
Transfer of the Service to the NAVY.

Representative Cabot Lodge has prepared a
report to be submitted to the House in support
Of the bill authorized to be favorably reported
by the House naval affairs committee transfer
ing the revenue marine service from the Treas
ury to the Navy department. The report re-
views the history OF the service and shows that
from the date of its organization 1t has always
been treated as a part of the naval service of
the country, though attached to the Treasury
department. Its organization is upon naval
basis and it has always been provided that the
officers and men of the service as well as the
vessels might, in case of necessity, be trans
ferred to the active naval list The service has
always taken an active part in war and fire.

THE MARYLAND MARSHALSHIP.
The Attorney General Reminded That q
Democrat Fills the Position.

Attorney General Miller was reminded yes
terday that democrat 10 still United States
marshal tor the district Of Maryland. Men and
endorsements combined to force this fact upon
his attention. Two of the Attorney Generals
callers were Marylanders and republicans. One
was the Hon. Daniel L. Brinton, who was de-
feated by Rusk in the last congressional fight
in the third district The other was Mr.. VIM.
F. Stone Of Baltimore, who expects to be the
next marshal. The Attorney General was in
formed that Mr.. Stone is president of the
seventh ward republican association Of Balti-
more, the oldest republican organization in
that city; that he is also member of the re-
publican city executive committee, Of the re-
publican state central committee, and that he
represents the first legislative district of Bal
tlmore In the republican state executive COM
mittee. Republican organizations have been
liberal in their Endorsements and these docu-
ments, in company with letters from merchants,
lawyers, clergymen and veterans of the GA. R.,

in an imposing heap. Nobody knows Just when
the change will come, but the friends OF Mr..

POSSIBLE SOUTHERN IRON STRIKE
W0rkmen Make Demands That May
Close q Dozen Blast Furnaces.

Dispatches to the Chattanooga Tradesman
from the Alabama mining region indicate that
general strike is threatened throughout the
state, involving thousands of coal miners and
causing fifteen or twenty blast furnaces to
close down. The Tradesman representatives
have closely investigated the situation and
state that the strike inaugurated few days
ago, when 500 miners of the Debardeleben
company quit work, threatens to be the COM
mencement of a general strike. The Debar-
deleben miners quit work because the company
declined to accede to their demands: First,
that they be furnished posts, ties and rails;
second, that no boy under seventeen years of
age be permitted to work in the mines; third,
that the miners committee be permitted to
regulate the working hours in each mine. The
miners have referred the matter to the state
committee Of the Knights Of Labor and await
their decision. II they are sustained it is
thought the miners at Cahaba, Pratt mines,
Coalburg and other points will join in the
strike. The company seems determined to re-
sist their demands.

one of the most terrible volcanic eruptions in
the recent history OF Japan: Mount Zoo, near

confusion. Soon the top of the mountain was
lifted of.
There was din equal to dynamite explo-
sion and sand and stones we're belched forth,
falling in the neighborhood of Fukuyama,
where smoke and fire were also blown by the
wind. At the entrance of the town the ground
was covered with sand and earth to a depth of
