ance for all time,o for a specified time,
could DO made upon a matter of that
/ sort. Even the price OF -four could not
De regulated for term of years, be-
! cause extraordinary circumstances
might arise. Mr.. Heard thought
sliding scale OF prices To consumers,
contingent upon the supply of
| gas, could be arranged, but Dr. Caddle
thought such an arrangement would be
like the handle Of a jug-all on one side.
Mr.. Riley, who had been out OF the
room, here came in, and asked how IL
came that the price OF gas was involved
In the discussion on the compromise.
There was already an agreement on
that point and no stronger agreement
/ could be made.
DR.. Caddle-U the Company is re-
| Iieved, would the price of gas still hold?
Mr.. Riley-Why, certainly. The
/ agreement now existing is only changed,
/ by agreement as TO certaia thing-to-
/ wit: free gas. IL the contract at pres
ent existing, as to the price Of gas, is
not binding, l don't know how you
would go about making it stronger.
After some further discussion the
committee went into executive session,
and fell to discussing, among them
selves, the various aspects Of the case,
aud what the city had better do about
/ 10. The talk soon drifted off upon the
late trip to Pittsburg, however, and
several incidents, productive of a good
! deal Of hilarity, and not intimately
connected with natural gas, were re-
counted. The statement Of Mr.. Noise
was then taken mp and discussed, the
| investments Of the Company, its capital
stock, etc, all being gone into, as was
the financial situation Of the School
Board, Mr.. Riley stating it would cost
| the Board 5000 or 500 per year 70 burn
| coal. Finally, the question Of a report
to the full committee came up. Mr..
Jefferson and Mr.. Riley suggested that
facts be reported.
Mr.. Jefferson said he was perfectly
willing to vote on his opinion, but he
| thought the committee would be ex-
ceedlng its authority to make recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Farrell-We have the facts. We
asked for the opinion OF the Solicitor,
and there it is.
Proceeding, in reply to question by
Mr.. Jefferson, Mr.. Farrell said he was
in favor OF the Company furnishing gas
to both the crematory and the water
works, seven months IN the year.
Mr.. Jefferson thought the representa-
tiveS OF the Company were sincere in
what they said, that they couldn't do it.
Mr.. Farrell said he didn't despair Of
the other Company (the Loudensville
Company coming in. II the suo-com-
mittee was only going to report the
facts 70 the full committee, il was hard
ly worth while TO canvass the matter.
The ultimatum of the Company, and
the question Of how far the suo-com-
mittee was empowered TO 90, was dis
cussed for quite time, and finally the
committee agreed to defer action, and
adjourned, M. Forrell undertaking to
notify the abSentees for the next meet
ing.

ment and properly taken care of. In
about an hour after the sad affair &C.
Cured Mr.. VIII Fisher, accompanied
by Mr.. Frank Caldwell, arrived in
cab and were driven to links, where
Mr.. Fishers body was lying. They
were soon followed by other relatives.
Word was sent to Mendel 81 Co., who
arrived about 1890 and conveyed the
remains to the family residence.
The deceased was born in Delaware
county, Pa, May 81, 1929, and was,
therefore, 60 years of age. His father
dying while the subject of this sketch
was very young, Mr.. Fisher, at the age
of twelve years, started out to make his
way in the world, and securing employ
ment In Pittsburg nail mills he learned
the trade OF mailing. In lS45 he
came to this city, with Messrs.
E. NJ, Frederick E. and George w.
Norton, his half-brothers, and at the
age of twenty-five was stakeholder in
the Belmont mill. During the war he
was manager of the Benwood nail mill,
leaving the Norton Iron Works, where
he was cashier, to take this position.
Selling out his interest in the Ben
wood mill about 1864, he engaged
with the Riverside iron works.

A Sensational Elopement Case up at
WellsburR.

A Sensational Elopement Case up at
Wellsburg.
Joseph Macy, of Wellsburg, French
man by birth and coal miner by occu-
patton, went to the City Hall, yester-
day, and unfolded tale of woe which
brought him the active sympathy Of all
the official force and such plain ordinary
citizens as happened to be at the build
ing at the time.
Macy said that on July 18th, last, he
was married to Miss Annie Stevens, OF
Steubenville, and went to live at Wells
burg. Last week man named William
Mcknight was released from the Ohio
penitentiary, and appeared in Wells
burg, where he at once began TO make
love to Mrs. Macy. The latter seems
to have been not averse to his atten-
tions, as the two were caught BY the
husband In rather a compromising at
titude. He swore out a warrant for
Meningitis arrest, and he was taken
before a Justice of the Peace, but was
discharged, as there seemed TO be lack
of convincing evidence.
Matters ran along in this way until
Tuesday evening, when Mrs. Macy and
Knight disappeared together, and up to
a late hour last night the two had not
been located. Macy applied for a war
rant here, but was refused, the Justice
assigning as reason that he ought to
get the paper in Brooke county.
Macy was all over Martins Ferry,
Yesterday, before be applied to the
wheeling authorities. but could get no
trace OF the fugitives. knight has
served two terms in the penitentiary.

Although not making much Of a stir,
the manufacturers Of the justly popular
brand Of Royal Flour have steadily in
creased their sales from the beginning.
This increase has been so rapid that
Bedllion Il Co. have largely increased

new and improved machinery, and the
Elm Grove Roller Mills can now turn

Because of the faith and high grade Of
the Royal Flour it commands the high
est market price.
The corn meal made by the Elm
Grove Mills is a speciality with Bedillion

ufactured as to retain all the nutritious
elements of the grain.

charge of selling liquor on Sunday.

FUN In THEC0UNCIL.
Two Very Hard Questions to Set
tie Tonight.

Councilman SIckeIs' Charges VS..
Engineer Lemon and the .EIec-
tiOn of a New COunciIman--An
EastsIde Petition.
Two interesting matters will probably
come up for consideration at the meeting
Of the city council tonight For several
weeks the charges of Councilman Sickels
relative to the work of City Engineer
Lemon have been held in suspension;
much to the dissatisfaction of those most
interested. 1t is quite probable an effort
will be made tonight to force this matter
to an issue, and either have the charges
tried or dismissed. The claim is made
that the council is a tie on the question of
Mr.. Lemons competency, and hence some
interesting impromptu speeches will pro-
badly be made.
Another important question will be the
selection of an Eastside councilman to fill
the vacancy cansed by the resignation OF
r. A. Ford. S. p Wiman and ]. R. Patti
son are the two candidates in the field.
The council cast one vote at the last meet
ing for the new councilman but tied.
A numerOusly signed petition from the
Eastside will be presented tonight asking
the council to select Mr. Pattison.
