Mayor Wyman's Quick Work.

There were just 20 cases at the hearing in
Allegheny, but none of them were sufficiently

drunks and street fighters and light fines were
imposed.

Sunday Morning Levees Well Attended by
Persons Who Stayed Up All Night to Be
Present-Remarkable Absence OF Quar-
reis for Precedence.
The magistrates of the two cities held Off
cial receptions yesterday morning. Unlike
the monarchs OF the etfete and emigrating
East, they did not demand that their guests
should be clad in purple and gold. In fact, the
more ragged the visitor the more likely he was
to receive royal honors, such as being granted
the right to inhabit one of the palaces provided
by thoughtful public, with servitors on every
hand to guard him from evil and the night air.

the residence OF the Prince of Wales,
was partly destroyed by fire this morn
ing. A postman crossing the park saw
smoke issuing from the roof. He gave
an alarm and local volunteer fire
brigade was quickly on the scene. For
a time it seemed As If the building was
doomed. Then gradually the fire
yielded, but for four hours the struggle
went on. The fire had started in the
upper part of the structure and was
prevented from working its way down.
But the second and third floors, the
roof and much valuable furniture were
destroyed and the rooms below greatly
damaged by water before the fire was
extinguished. The damage amounts
to f2o, 600. 4 spark from 4 heating
fue appears to have caused the fire.

NEW YORK. Nov. among the
passengers arriving on the steamship
Furst Bismarck, today, was a family
named Mueller. who came from Neck
lenberg, Germany. 1t consisted of the
mother, who Is about fifty years old,
a daughter named Margaret, twenty
two years old, two smaller children and
p young man who came with them,
but claimed no relationship. AS they
passed the registering clerks desk it
was noticed that the girl Margaret was
enciente. When asked who was the
cause of her condition she pointed to
the young man. Upon this statement
the whole family were detained. The
authorities would not allow them to go
unless they were married. This they
agreed to do and minister was called.
In answer to questions the couple gave
the name of Mueller and this caused
the dominic to become suspicious. He
questioned them both separately and
they both affirmed that they came from
different families. Upon this asser-
ton the ceremony was performed.
Later il became known that the couple
were brother and sister. The barge
Office authorities were furious when
they learned this fact and the matter
will be referred to the United S ates
district attorney. The family will be
sent back to Germany. The marriage
of course, is void, both legally and
morally.

Natural Gas Discovered

BUSHNELL, Ill, Nov. 2.-There was
much excitement here today over the
discovery of natural gas. The city
water system is obtained from wells six
and eight inches in diameter and 12O
feet deep, which are discharged into a
large, lightly covered reservoir. A
few evenings since the engineer lifted
the trap door OF the reservoir and
thrust in his lantern. Immediately
there was a terrible explosion, the
roof was lifted off the reservoir, the
cement walls partly torn down and the
engineer thrown fifty feet. Since then
the trap has been opened and there has
been strong smell OF escaping gas.
Yesterday one OF the six inch wells was
touched with torch, and the gas cs-
Gaping from it has been burning ever
since. It shoots strong, intensely
hot flame twelve or fifteen feet high
and is steadily increasing in force. Ex-
perts assert the brilliancy OF the flame
precludes the marsh-gas idea and ex-
press the belief that it is fine quality
OF natural gas.
