Discovery Of Natural Gas in England.

In his lectures on Gaseous Fuel" (since
published by Messrs. Whitaker 4 Co.,
Londonl Mr.. Thwaite gave it as his opin-
ion that beneath the salt beds of Cleve-
land, Cheshire and Ireland, both natural
gas and oil would be found At Mr. Yer
din's request. according to Industries,
London, Nh Thwaite elaborated his
theory, which was in due course
submitted to the Salt Union, with the
result that the Salt union decided to nut
theory to the test of the drill, and borings
have been proceeding simultaneously in
Cleveland and Cheshire IL is reported
that in tine former district natural gas has
been struck and issues in great volumes.
The discovery is of great national inn
portance, as it may mean the con-
ferring by nature on Cleveland
of all the patural advantages pos
sessed by the great iron center OF Pittsburg
and district, and prove of enormous adj
vantage to the metallurgic and chemical
industries carried on in the north York
shire iron field. 1t is hoped that the test
in Cheshire may be equally satisfactory,
and thus confirm to the full Mr.. Thwaite's
predictions.

WOMEN IN STREET CARS.
They Are Not as Courteous as They Might
MINNEAPOLIS Journal.


1t was on a Fourth-ave. car that it hap
pened. The recent snow storm had made
the traffic unusually heavy, and the line
was only running single cars. The men
on the car had all risen but one, and he
sat next the stove unmoved. The other
side of the car had been filed by ladies,
most of whom had been given seats by the
prompt sacrifice OF the men, who now
filled the aisle. The ladies were loosely
distributed along the seat; one sat side
wise, gazing out of the window; another
allowed her child room enough for a good
sized man by clambering around with his
face to the pane; third, dressed in silk,
sat az though afraid of the touch of a
woman next to her.
A lady entered and looked around for a
seat and there was none The men all
looked at the man by the stove. He was
a stout, hearty fellow, growing just little
old. He SAT still, apparently unconscious.
All the ladies across the aisle looked at
him the lady in silk glared. He didn't
move. The lady moved up opposite him
in the car and took mold OF strap and he
sat still.
Madam, said he at last, courteously
enough, but In a voice heard plainly all
through the car, Madam, l do not feel in
cined to give you my seat when so many
of your own sex on the opposite side of
the car make no move to make room for
You"
And may be there wasn't shuttle on
the other side Of the car. The lady in silk
jammed up against the plainly dressed
woman, the child was hastily deposited in
its mothers lap, and the woman who gazed
out the window saw something TO attract
her attention straight ahead of her. The
lady who was standing and two elderly
gentlemen occupied the room made

Schley Was tly.
n. Y. Tribune.l

Commander Schley, according to a story
now being related in the Washington
club-rooms, received among his boyhood
Christmas presents a handsome bible
from rich aunt After a moments re-
Election, they say, he exclaimed: Pm up
to that dodge" and began examining the
volume eagerly leaf by leaf until he
reached the sermon on the mount, where
he found a SO bill pinned to the page.
1t seems that Schley had read a story OF
the bad little boy, away at school, who
took with him a similar gift. When he
came home for vacation his mother ex-
amined the bible and found the 81 bill
which she had placed between its leaves.
Thus did she know that her boy had not
read the holy book.

TO ENFORCE THE TARIFFS.
Executive Oficer of Transcontinental
Association in Seattle.

Association in Seattle.
J. W. Spencer, of San Francisco, the Pacific
coast executive officer of the Transcontinental
Association is in the city, stopping at the Grand
hotel. "This association" said he to a Posi-
INTELLIGEYCER reporter last night, sis made up
of the railway companies handling transconti-
mental freights. They have formed an associa-
ton like the Western Traffic Association for
enforcing the regular tariffs
''My present business is to look after the bill
ing of freight in Seattle, and appoint inspectors
TO see that the shippers and the roads live up to
the tariff. The main trouble is with the roads,
for unless the railroads eonniye at underbilling
the shippers cannot very well avoid putting
their goods under the proper classification.
There is, however, a tendency where roads are
competing for traffic to allow a shipper to class
ify freight pretty much as he pleases so long as
the freight is secured. For instance, you will
sometimes see machinery billed as castings,
which are carried more cheaply, and SO on
through all the list.
81 do not know that there have been any i'm
portant evasions OF the schedules in Seattle, but
the San Francisco merchants insist that as they
are competing with the Sound cities for trade,
they should have the same freight rates from
Chicago or New York. These merchants COM
plain that the roads running into the Sound
country are not enforcing the tariffs strictly,
and that in effect the merchants here get lower
rates.
awhile much of the complaint is without
good foundation, still it has been deemed best to
appoint an inspector here The man chosen is
J. II. Reynolds, OF Burlington, who has had
much experience in this work under the West
ern Traffic Association.
''I am responsible to the chairman of the
Transcontinental Association, and my duty is to
see that agreements are lived up to and that all
shippers and all roads get due justice. II the
tariffs are not carried out, then one city has an
undue advantage over another, and In the same
town one shipper has an undue advantage over
another. We want justice for ALL

STARK MURDER CASE.
Difnculties OF Getting n Jury-They All
Read the Papers.

The Stark murder case was called in Judge
Humes' court yesterday, and the entire day was
taken up trying to empanel q jury. special
~enire for twenty-four jurors bad been issued,
but that and another for twelve was exhausted,
and court had to adjourn without getting the
panel complete. Judge Humes ordered another
venire for twenty-four new jurors from which
TO select enough to make up the jury. Twenty
nine jurors were examined yesterday, and all
but eleven were found disqualified. Most OF
them had formed opinion from reading the
PosT-INTRLLIGENcER's reports of the trial.
In passing upon the question as to whether
opinions formed by jurors from reading news
paper articles were to be considered, Judge
Humes said that ordinarily the opinions formed
from reading newspapers were not such as to
disqualify men from sitting on juries, but in
cases like this, where the testimony was taken
from the mouths OF the witnesses and reliably
reported, he thought that men from reading the
newspaper reports Of the case could form such a
good idea of the case that they would not be
able to go into the jury box with their minds
