INDIGNANT HOMEsTEADERs.
A Public Meeting Held, and a Natural Ga
Company Is Roasted.

A Public Meeting Held, and a Natural Gas
Company Is Roasted.
The citizens of Homestead held an indig-
nation meeting Wednesday and appointed
a committee to wait on the Low Pressure
Gas Company at its Office in Pittsburg.
When the committee called it claims it was
snubbed by the company's officials, and told
if the people of Homestead did not want to
pay the price for the gas it would be turned
Off
As result of the snubbing another indig-
nation meeting was held last night. In dis
cussing the question the fact was developed
that the Low Pressure Gas Company is a
distinct company from the Charters Valley
Company to which the franchise of all right
of way privileges were originally granted
through the streets and the Low Pressure
Company are trespassers in the borough. A
resolution was adopted for presentation to
Councils requesting an immediate investi-
cation. 1t also transpired that the
Pittsburg, Homestead and Munhall Street
Railway Company, applying for right of
way through the borough, is composed prin-
cipally of the same stockholders, who own
and operate the Low Pressure Gas Company,
and their application for a street railway
franchise will likely be refused.
The gas consumers not only propose to
shut off the gas, but fight the company to
the bitter end, and Hon. J. F. Cox is in
hearty sympathy with the movement, and
the people are depending on him as lawyer
to see them through.

The death of John Ormsbv Phillips on
Thursday came as great shock to the older
families of Pittsburg and to his many
friends who knew him as manly man. He
mad been suffering from erysipelas for some
time and 1t was believed he was recovering,

end.

his life in Pittsburg. He was the eldest
son of Captain Elias Phillips and Mary

mothers was fourth in the line of descent of
the Ormsbys in Pittsburg One of his first
successful business ventures was in 1856,
when he became member of the lum-
Der firm of Walton, Phillips &
Co. Though Mr. Phillips had gone
into other branches of trade he was
still in the lumber industry at the
time of his death. He was also an exten-
sive shipper of coal to Southern ports and
operated a number of mines. along the Mo-
nongahela river. Beside this he was
member of the Phillips Glass Company
and was director in the Marine National
Bank. In the business world he was known
by his associates as a straightforward man,
honorable in all his dealings. As brother
he was steadfast and true.
Mr.. Phillips leaves wife and five chill
dren to mourn the early demise of loving
husband and kind and indulgent parent.
