ANOTHER GAS SUIT.

This Time 1t Is the Shoenberger Mill
Against the Equitable Company-An
Application for an Injunction to Pre-
vent the Shutting Off of the Fuel.
A bill in euqity was filed yesterday by
Shoenberger & Co. against the Equitable
Gas Company. The plaintiffs state that
they have been using natural gas for fuel in
their mills, and all their furnaces and
machinery have been adapted at a great
expense to the use of gas. In July, 1891,
they entered into an arrangement with the
defendant whereby they agreed to subscribe
for $50, 900 worth of the stock in the Gas
Company and were to be supplied with gas,
paying for it at the rate of % per cent
higher than they had paid the Philadelphia
Company. The defendent company, it is
alleged, have been furnishing them
partial supply of gas.
At times the supply was deficient by rea-
son of an illegal preference allowed other
parties. They have been notified that there
is not sufficient gas to supply other persons
who have precedence over them, and that
therefore their supply would be stopped.
The plaintiffs assert that the company has
no right to give others a preference because
they are stockholders and directors. The
claim that to shut offtheir supply and COM
pei them to return to coal would do them
great damage and cost them at least S50, 600
to change the furnaces, machinery, etc.
An injunction was asked for to restrain
the company from shutting off their supply
and prevent them from giving any prefer
ence to others, the company, it being
claimed, having plenty of gas.
The Court granted preliminary injunc-
tion fixing December % for a hearing.

A MAYORALTY CANDIDATE.

W. G. Griffith, the welI-Known Allegheny
Will BE Supported by the Veterans.
Allegheny has new candidate for Mayor.
He is w. G. Griffith, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Pittsburg Steel Gong and
Hollowware Company. Mr.. Griffith
was a candidate for nomination against
Mayor Wymsn, but pulled out of the
fight. He is an old soldier and has been
chaplain of G. A. r. Post SS for six years.
While not prominently identified with
politics, he is acknowledged to be strong
man. He was manager for BOggs & Buhl
for seven years, and if the ladies of ALLIE
gheny were given the right of suffrage, no
others would need apply for any Office in the
city. He is a brother of w. E. Griffith,
the wealthy oil man.
Mr.. Grifith's candidacy, although hith-
erto kept quiet, has been the principal
reason for continuing the veterans clubs, as
mentioned in yesterdays DISPATCH. He
is connected with all the soldiers organiza-
tions and was one of the most prominent
men in the Gregg and Morrison campaign.
Another man who will benefit by the vet
eran campaigning is Senator Rutan. AL
though not prominently connected with
soldier organizations, he did active service
during the war, and in order that the yet
erans' clubs may be consistent, it is said on
good authority that they will indorse him.
Mr. Rutan enlisted for three years. but at
the end of the first year was sent home on
account of sickness and discharged. He
served throughout the Pennsylvania CAM
paign.

Used to CO. A banquet and demonstration
of some kind will be given in their honor.
The representatives will be shown over the

selves how much money is needed. Mr.
Dickinson said that the departmental build

October, and they will be dedicated on the
10th, 11th and 10Th. The affair will con-

A banquet will be given in New York
