ANOTHER NEW FUEL.

Pittsburg OIL and Gas Men Go to See a Test
of Oil and Water Gas-The Process Is
Simple and the Product Cheap.
Many of the oil and gas men Of Pitts
burg went to Greensburg last night to wit
ness a test of new gas which it is claimed
Is destined to replace the natural gas for
illuminating and beating purposes. Among
the Pittsburgers who witnessed the test
were George j. German, President of the
Mechanics National Bank; J. Mcdowell, Of
the National Transit Company; Colonel
Bardsiey, of Bardsley & Kerr; Captain
Thomas r. Kerr, Of the same firm; R Nc
Kenzie, of the Westmoreland and Cam brla
Gas Company; Lowrey Chieds, OF Mellon
Bros, and the Southwest Gas Company; T.
Malone, of the Southwest Company; w. H.
Truby and John Beatty, of the Phlladel-
phia Company, and Ben Upper, the
famous OLD scout of the Standard Oil Com
pany. The were also present capitalists and
gas men from Connellsville, Johnstown,
Harrisburg, Reading and Philadelphia
The test was made about o'clock. 1t
was remarkably successful. The gas is
produced by simple chemical process from
coke, oil and water. The inventor of the
process made his first test at Bellefontaine,
o. Only small furnace was used at that
time, and the Greensburg mandatory is
the first large concern of the kind ever con-
structed.
At the test last night it was demonstrated
that the supply of gas can be made equal to
the demand and the people of Greensburg
are jubilant over the fact that they are
within the week to have q substitute for the
rapidly failing natural gas supply. The
test was made through ten-inch pipe, and
even the experts said they could not detect
the difference between it and the natural
gas.
The Pittsburg people are negotiating with
the inventor for the right of his process for
this city.

ANNOYED HIS NEIGHBoRs.

A Rural Community Gets Tired Of the
Antics of James Hamler.
James Hsmler was committed to Jail by
Alderman McMssters yesterday afternoon
on two charges of malicious mischief and
two of surety of the peace.
Hamler lives in Baldwin township, and
it is alleged that for months past he has
annoyed the neighbors in every conceivable
way. He has been In the habit of spend
ing half the night in going from building to
building and throwing stones at the win
dows. He would also hide behind fence
corners and jump out at ladies and children
and try to scare them. Several times he
has threatened to kill persons who have
demonstrated with him. Of late his acts of
lawlessness have become so frequent that

ing the first of the week, and appointed
James l. Mckee to make information
against him. He is supposed to be de-
mented

LIKE A SPRING DAY.

Yesterdays Warm Weather Almost Reach
ed the Record of FL Years.
The unusually warm weather yesterday
was the source of much comment for this
time of the year. A visit to the Weather
Bureau developed the fact that it is not un-
usual, although the thermometer seldom
reaches the height it did yesterday, which
was 20 80, 300 above normal. On Decem-
Der 9, 1885, it reached 73o, the highest ever
reached in December in the 81 years that
the bureau has been in existence. Thirty
nine is normal, while yesterday it was SO.
In 1873 and 1875 the thermometer reached
$50, ranging from that down to zero in
other years.
The warm spell will be followed by rain.
which will probably turn into snow, fol-
lowed by cold snap.
The pudding department of Zug's mill
had to close down yesterday because of the
heat John Dams, employed at Howe,
Brown & Co. s Seventeenth street mill, was
overcome by cramps last evening and had
to be removed to his home on Penn avenue
in the patrol wagon. The heat was the
cause.

WALKERS WANT MORE ROOM.
Dissatisfaction at the Width of the Sixt
Street Bridge Sidewalks.

Dissatisfaction at the Width of the Sixth
Street Bridge Sidewalks.
Pedestrians who use the Sixth street
bridge are observing with some disgust that
the footway on the new structure is no
wider than it used to be. The roadway for
cars and other vehicles has been doubled
exactly In width, there being four tracks
instead of two. This seems to say that
while the bridge company admits that the
vehicle traffic between Allegheny City and
Pittsburg has doubled in the last 25 years,
and must have more room, it either does
not admit that there are more foot psssen-
gers or else it does not believe in giving
them room.
There has been a hot discussion in the
board of the bridge company as to the
width of the sidewalks, and at least one of
the directors has registered an emphatic
protest against the policy of limiting it to
the old line. This director saws that the
footway will have to be widened within a
few wears inevitably and argues that it
would be cheaper to do it now.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-11-21

Testimony differs as to the feeling of
the soldier on going into fight, and the
many experiences related by Grand
Army men to their always willing lis
teners show that in their war histories
there was no uniformity of either fear
or daring. The major of New Hamp-
shire regiment said: 81 always felt
timid when the shot began to reach us,
but as soon as we got into action was
carried away by excitement. am not
usually a profane man, and l have nc
recollection of talking roughly to my
troops, yet good many of them have
assured me that all through fight |
would swear like-well, like trooper. "
Another man, colonel, said: "It's
all nonsense to say thata man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of fight and all
through it, OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said of General Sum-
ner that he was the only man who grew
bolder as he grew older, but the only
man / ever saw who really seemed to
want to fight, and to enjoy it after he
was in it, was Custer. New York Sun.
