Dow Law Decisions.

We clip the following from the Cleve-
land Leaders Columbus correspondent
of the 10th:
Auditor of State Poe received rather
an amusing question relating to the
Down law this morning. 1t came from
County Auditor G. B. Metcalf, at Find
lay and asked: "Can temporary trans
fer of Dow certificate from room to q
lot on show grounds be made, or must
new place be opened?" The Auditor
telegraphed the reply: PARTY must
make application for new place and
assessment under their circumstances
cannot be less than $50. See section 8
of the Dow law" This particular
clause was engraved in the law to stop
saloon keepers from starting stands
upon fair grounds, etc., by simply
changing their certificates. In all
cases q new certificate will be required.

CHEAP FUEL GAS.
Pronounced Superior to the Nnturs

Pronounced Superior to the Natural
Artiole-Largo Plant at Kokomo. Ind.
KOKoMo, Aug. 1.-The Vulcan Gas
company, of Chicago, has purchased the
plant of the Kokomo Gas Light and
Coke company here and embarked in the
manufacture of fuel gas, by a recently
invented process. The company claims
to make gas of a quality far superior to
the natural article, and that it can be
sold at natural gas prices, which, by the
schedule in this city, is 81 per month fol
a cook-stove and $3.50 per annum fol-
heaters. AS matter of fact, the com.
pany is supplying patrons here at these
rates and making preparations to pipe
the city for fuel purposes.
The gas is made from crude petro.
leum, steam and air, gives a clear white
light, free from carbonic acid gas OF
sulphur, and can be burned without a
fue connection, leaving no bad odor or
poisonous gases behind it. One of the
company told your correspondent that a
large number of gas experts had exam
ined and thoroughly tested the new
fluid, among them Summerville, of In
dianapolis; Vandeweide, of New York,
and Stevens, of Chicago, and that they
all pronounced it the whitest, brightest,
cleanest light of any gas they had ever
seen.
The company has made arrangements
to pipe Kokomo, notwithstanding the
fact that we are in the midst of nat
ural gas war, and that three rival COM
panies are giving gas to patrons abso.
lutely free of cost, and have been for
three months, with a prospect Of the
fight extending through the winttr.
The company is sure it has solved the
fuel gas question, and is equally certain
it can supply clean, convenient fuel Of
, about one-half the cost of wood or coal.
There is a gigantic corporation at the
head of the movement, and they expect
to put plants in dozen or more cities
| yet this fall.

THREATS
Against the stecl Workers who Return

Against the stecl Workers Who Return
to Work.
P1rrsBURG, July 3d. Of the total
number of Homestead strikers who have
returned to work in the mill, about 1875,
it is said, every man received terrible
warnings of dire punishment if he does
not quit work. The men on going home
have found sandbags tied to their doors
every morning for week past, and re-
quests and warnings have been hung on
the front knobs. They have received
letters through the mails which contain
bloodthirsty threats Of punishment for
deserting the rank of strikers. In addi-
ton to this, committees of the strikers
have approached each man and person
ally warned him Of his peril in remain
ing at work.
These threats have been reported to
the Carnegie officials. who have promised
protection both inside and outside the
works. The strikers have driven six
foremen out Of the best paying depart
ments in the Homestead mill. The men
earned about $l2 day each. They were
told to leave off work under pain of be-
ing violently dealt with, but they stayed
for a week.
Then when one of them was caught
outside the mill he was severely beaten,
and he and the others were told they
would be murdered if they did not leave.
The six foremen left on Monday, and
were given by the officials ten days in
which to return or their fat positions
would be forfeited. Two returned, but
they came a day late and were not re-
employed.
Several incidents occurred recently,
going to show the temper Of the locked
out steel workers, and makes plain the
fact that the condition of affairs is moi
entirely changed. The withdrawal Of
so many troops has given some Of the

company claim the backbone of the

the strikers-skilled workmen-have re-
turned to work and that they will soon
have the mills running as usual.
The strikers tell different story.
They say the men at work are not COM
petent to do the work, and that the
company keeps the machinery running
more for bluff than anything else;
that but few of the strikers have re-
turned to work, and that they are conf
dent the Amalgamated association will
yet be victorious.
The strikers make threats as to what
they will do when the soldiers are all
called away They seriously object to
giving up their homes for which they
have worked so hard without a struggle
and hard one, too.
1t is generally believed that if the
Amalgamated association loses this fight
its days of usefulness are forever gone.
