dress of Her Relatives.
Mrs. Clara Comssie, widow of about
60 years, died at 412 l. street last night, in
her own residence. David Wilkie, who
works for Charles Goddard, the horse
sheer, near by, has roomed in the house
many years. He says Mrs. Comssie left
a young girl, Mabel, probably between l.
and - years of age, who does not know
where her friends or relatives are.
Mrs. Comssie was a recluse, having no
intimates here, and no relatives in Sacra-
mento. She has friends or relatives in
San Francisco and MarysvilIe, but the
child does not know their addresses. Mrs.
Egan, a neighbor, took charge OF Mabel
last night.
Mr.. Willlie says the little girl ought to
have protection and care at once and
having no friends here he desires pub
licity made of the case, that those who
have an interest in the child may know
OF her need for friends.

Frank Cooley Shot.

UNIoNTOwN, Pa, Dec. 49,
The good news comes from Fair
chance this morning that Frank
Cooley, the leader of the worst gang
of robbers that this country has
known for years, was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded last night by
one of his gang. 1t is said that the
gang were having big time drink
ing and carousing at their noun
tain rendezvous near Fairchance,
when one of the men and Frank
got into row and the latter was
shot. The good people of south
ern Fayette county who have been
terrorized and robbed almost daily
and nightly for the past two years,
only hope that the shot may prove
fatal to the brutal coward, who
burned the feet Of an old woman in
order to get her few dollars. The
latest work Of the gang was to rob
David Morgan, near Brandonville,
w Vas and then attempted to
burn down his barn. Morgan shot
one of the men and almost beat
him to death, the rest Of the party
fleeing before his trusty rifle.

Christmas was appropriately COM
memorated by the churches. Special
services were held in the M. E.
church at 10 o'clock Christmas
morning. Gifts we're distributed
among the members of the Sunday
School Of the M. E. church. Ad-
dresses were also made to the school.
Revs. Enlow and Michaels were
present.
The services in the German Re-
formed church we're held Christmas
evening. The church was beauti-
fullv decorated with evergreens,
consisting Of festooning aud two
large Christmas trees. There were
also banners with appropriate in
scrlptions. The evergreens were
brilliantly illuminated by the lights
from the miniature candles which
had a dazzling effect. The pastor,
Mr.. Evans, living in Salisbury,
conducted the services. assisted by
the Sunday School officers. The
choir was composed Of Misses MollIe
Wegman, Lucinda Figgic. Fannie
Getty, Lou Kurtz, Lille Kurtz,
who was organist, and Mrs. Jennie

Santa Claus, impersonated by Chas.
Wegman who was disguised. an
nounced his arrival with the jing.
ling of bella and low m usterings in a
hoarse voice and entered tile church
house in a mysterious manner and
distributed the gifts as the names
we're called. 1t was very pleasant
and enjoyable occasion and should
be emuiated in the future, not only
by this church but by each and
every one. "Peace on Earth, Good
will toward men," is too much dis.
regarded at all reasons and at this
particular season especially, the
greatest Of all holidays. Self denia

GAS EXPLOSION.
j. B. Taylor Files a Petition to
Dissolve the American Co.
He Claims to Have Been Wrongfully Deprived
OF 10000 Shares Of
stock.
a gas war is ON.

A gas war is on.
The cat has jumped out of the secret
meeting.
The disruption limited at in THE HERALD
will explode tomorrow.
j. b. Taylor, who figured extensively in
the early history Of the Americsn Natural
Gas company and who took most of the
leases upon which the American natural
gas stockholders are thriving, is the cleo
trio eel that proposes to shock the incor-
poration by legal explosion.
1t has leaked out that Mr.. Taylor was
the disturbing element at the stockholders
meeting and the real cause for the clause
regarding secrecy. Taylor it is under
stood, walked into the meeting and de-
stock out of the 100000. This unexpected
demand created CONSERVATION among the
stockholders.
Taylor was seen On the street late last
evening by HERALD reporter, and asked
to explain his position
II have no position at all, according to
some of the stockholders but l will file a
petition Monday asking that the American
Natural Gas company be dissolved
"On what groundl"
1.-The company has never complied with
the organic act under which it was created.
The charter says that the directory shall
consist OF seven directors, four of whom
shall constitute quorum. Only three of
these have ever legally qualified
MIR. Taylor also claims that these direc-
tors have wrongfully deprived him Of, OF
refused to issue him 162, 900 shares of STOCK
he was entitled to, and that many of the
persons now holding stock and trying to
run things never paid for it. He charges
that many of the principal officers secured
their stock by the vote of an illegal di-
rectory.
