A curious case turned up at the county
iail last night. Shortly after dark rea-
sonably well-dressed man applied at the
door for admission. The bolts were
drawn and the stranger walked in, an
nouncing as he did so that he had come
to deliver himself up. The jailor thought
he was Joking, but an evident look of
earnestness on the face OF the visitor
soon dispelled that idea. He was man
seemingly about 45 years old, short, and
somewhat heavily built. His hair has
not vet begun to turn gray, and alto
kether he seemed like well-to-do man.
The taller asked him to explain him
self, and he briefly announced that a
warrant was sent out for him on a
charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
He gave the name of Peter Walters and
then seemed to consider that he had said
all that was necessary.
The taller did not know what to do
with this strange visitant, and he sat in
the Office for quite while. He finally
drew from him that he has family
living at Santa Monica, and that the
crime with which he says he is charged
was c0mmlJUeu Jnere lOur years ago,
since which time he has been in Chile
and the Argentine Republic, ,and recently
has been working on an island off the
lower Californian coast in mine.
He said that he has family growing
up at Santa Monica, and that he has de-
cided that it is better for him to go
through with the matter and have it
settled, rather than have it hanging
over him and his family in the future.
When questioned by HERALD re-
porter about the crime and the name Of
the man he says he is accused of assault
ing he declined to say anything
about it.
He talked so sensibly, although
briefly, to the jsiler that he concluded
to keep him at the Jail all night and in
vestigate the case today.

Bad BOYS and a Turtle.

The boys have been keeping the fire
department busy of late. Some boys
caught turtle and poured oil over it.
near the city's house for storing naphtha
on Dwight street, then set the shell on
fire. The turtle ran up to the door of
the house, and in an instant the whole
interior was in flames. An alarm was
sounded, and the department worked
over two hours before the flames were
subdued. .-Holyoke (Mass.) Cor. Spring

MINISTER EGAN has, in accordance
with the instructions of the authorities
at Washington, made a demand for
reparation from the Chilean government
for the murder of American seamen.
No answer has as yet been returned,
The later Investigations prove the cow
ardly violence of the mob. Another
American sailor has died as a result oi
the riot at Valparaiso, and on investiga.
ton it was found that there were
eighteen stab wounds on his person,
principally in the back. 1t is not an
agreeable subject to contemplate. What
between the laundering of our own
government and the brutality of the
Chilean mob, Americans are thor
oughly disgusted. A good fleet in those
waters seems to us necessary to get Min
lister Egan out alive. The lower class OF
Chilenos are poor respecters OF Jaw, in

tions of nations would stand very little
in the way of a Santiago mob if the no.

Campbell is 4 pleasant talkcr when tho

After Natural Gas...whntq

In communities which have enjoyed
the convenience OF natural gas there is
now much ucasiness over the prospect
for the near future. There will DO an
end OF natural gas drawn from the pres
cnt source Of supply. This much is GER
tain. for nature is not making the gas rs
rapidly rs u is using it.
What most interests Wheeling is to
know how long natural gus will be avail
able in the field from which shc is sup.
piled, and after that supply is exhaust
cd whether VIC shall have to return to
coal for household and light manuiac-
turing uses. The Natural Gas Company
Of West Virginia gives assurance that
there will be gas enough for the uses to
which it is now devoted. After that
what?
The natural gas consuming commune
ties went tho more readily into the cx-
penditure forpiping because OF the very
general belief that when the natural gas
failed the heavy investment in great
plants would induce their owners to
supply 4 satisfactory substitute in fuel
gas. This hope, not abandoned, still
gives consolation to the housekeeper,
who would reluctantly 80 back to the
dirt and Inconvenience OF solid fuel.
Experiments looking to the substi-
tute have been going on with an eye to
the time when Il good substitute would
pay. Success is said to have attended
some OF these experiments, and tho
Low Pressure Gus Company, which sup
plies somc OF the borouchs zeal Pitts
burgh, gives notice that it is about to
put one OF the methods into use in the
lines laid for natural gas.
The process is q combination OF coal
gas and petroleum, the latter being
used TO enrich the product ior illumi-
mating purposes. 1t is claimed for this
gas that under the most favorable con-
ditions it can be made for five cents a
thousand cubic feet. An expert in the
employ OF Carnegie, Phipps & Co., who
visiteda plant OF this description at
B%elliontaine, Pa, reports:
Started ut 1876 a. H., stopped ut $50 p. H., gas
