A PAPER ON GEOLOGY.
Arch Cummins Gives a Few Interesting
Facts on the Local Formation.

Arch Cummins Gives a Few Interesting
Facts on the Local Formation.
Another paper on local geology was read
last night before the Academy of Art and
Science by Mr.. Arch Cummins The SUBJ
iect was: Erosion; Position of Our Rocks,
Natural Gas and Coal Areas" Mr.. Cum
minis said that from New York to West
Virginia there is fall of 1000 feet. At
Tarentum the Upper Freepoyt coal is about
80 feet above the river here it is 265 feet
under the river The Pittsburg coal bed is
1856 fee: above the river, and at Jollytown,
in Greene county, is 800 feet beneath the
streams. In the SO miles between Pittsburg
and Jollytown the coal has fallen 792 feet,
or between Jollytown and Tarentum /, $50
feet in 20 miles. The group of oil and gas
rocks lie 1,S0O feet beneath the Pittsburg
coal bed. The conglomerate rock at the
base of the coal measures and $50
feet below the coal has furnished a few
gas wells at Ca, ,nsburg and Cochran's
Mills. Calculating from the data, the
original contents in gas of the various fields
were as follows: Murraysville, 302, ,016, 0OO,-
900 cubic feet; Grapeville, 122, ,642, 657 ,29O
feet; Canonsburg, %, O39, $500 feet; Maple
Creek, S,363, $40, Dob feet; Tarentum. $685.
200 feet; Bakerstown, Wildw ood, Per-
rysville, Glenfield, Sewickley, Coraopolis
and Vanceville, %, ,000 900, 200.
The nature of the Pittsburg coal bed was
described and in conclusion he said the
value to the community of a coal output of
10000, 600 tons in wages, royalties and freight
is fairly put at 81 90 ton or S15, 900.
The total value of the output of the 437
square miles at the same rate is

A TRUNK FACTORY BURNED.

Davis Old Trunk establishments on Sew
enth and Bedford Avenues Totally De-
stroyed-Baher Eryir A'so Loses Reav-
ily-The Loss WIZ Not Exceed $4,000.
The trunk factory of John Davis, at Sew
enth and Bedford avenues, was destroyed
by fire shortly before midnight last night.
The building was an old two-story brick,
filled with made-up stock and material. 1t
is total loss although the damage will not
exceed s., 600. In the front Of the building
Steele & Hall, the contractors, had an Office.
1t is damaged about equally with fire and
water
J. Brvar has a bakery adjoining the
building that was destroyed Considerable
trouble was experienced in getting Bryar,
his wife and two children out of the house.
None of them were injured, however.
The families In the remainder OF the row
on Seventh avenue, named Maloney, Sher-
man, Donneily and Eagan respectively,
were frightened out of their homes, but no
one was hurt. The rear ends of these
buildings, as well as the one on the lower
corner owned by the Globe Manufacturing
Company, were all more or less damaged.
At 1920 the roof OF the trunk factory fell
in AMI one of the walls Several members
of Engine Company No 15, that was sta
toned in the alley. were caught in some OF
the rubbish and bricks. All but Edward
Croco extricated themselves readily. He
was pinioned in among rafters, and had it
not been for the instant assistance of his
companions he would have been injured.
The trunk factory building was owned by
the Dennis Mcknight estate, as were all of
the other houses. 1t could not be learned
whether there >was any insurance on the
building, but the contents were partly in
sured Mr.. Bryar's loss was about 81, 800,
but he is fully insured
The cause of the fire is unknown.

DRINK AND JEALOUSY
Cause Christian Klenk to Send a
Bullet Through His Head.
THE DOCTORS SAY HE WILL DIE.
His Wife Tells the Story of Their Domestic
fribulationS.
QUARRELS FROM THE WEDDING DAY

Christian Klenk is lying at Mercy Hos
pital awaiting death with bullet in his
brain. 1t is the old story of jealous hus-
band, who ever thinks his wife is giving
her affections into the keeping of others.
To drown his sorrows he plunges into
drink, but even liquor will not allay his
sufferings, and as a last resort he tries to
end his miserable life by the suicidal route.
Klenk is about 2S years of age, and lived
with his wife and 5-year-old boy at Steven
son and Ann streets. Until about week
ago he was employed as waiter at the Du-
quesne Hotel. At that time he resigned
his position, saying he was going to Phila-
delphia and then to Europe. The reason
stated for leaving was that his home life
was not pleasant, and he wished to get as
far away as possible The real facts'of the
story were told by Mrs. Klenk last night
She said:
jealous From the Wedding Day.
"The whole trouble is my husband was
Jealous, and his Jealousy dated back from
the time of our marriage, over six years
ago, WHY he was 1 cannot say, for I al
ways tried to make our home life happy
ohe- " men we moVeu bito Iuls houso
we took in some gentlemen room
ers, as the building was great
deal larger than we needed. My husband
was in favor of these schemes to lessen our
rent. Soon after their departure, Klenk
became Jealous of me and some of the ROOM
ers, and we had little quarrel. After this
time. he started to drinking considerably,
and of course did not approve of that.
Last week he left the hotel and began to
drink heavily I demonstrated and he be-
came irritated. He decided to leave me
and said he would take the boy with him.
l objected to this but he was very much
under the influence of liquor and L saw my
appeals would be of no avail, so he took the
child to Philadelphia and left him with
some of his relatives.
Incidents of the Tragedy.
'About o'clock in the afternoon he
came home and asked me to get him some-
thing to eat. 1 said we had nothing to eat
in the house, and then he wanted me to go
out and get something, but [ refused.
Klenk then said he would lay down on the
lounge and sleep for awhile, but 1 in
sisted that it was too cold for
him to sleep there, and asked him TO wait
until 1 built fire 1 left the room to get
bucket of coal and had hardly got out when
1 heard pistol shot Rushing back to the
room l found my husband living on the floor
with a bullet wound in his right temple and
still smoking revolver in his hand. -
81 got medical aid as soon as possible, and
afterward had the man removed to Mercy
Hospital. 1 just came from there few
moments ago, and when 1 left my husband
was conscious, but there isn't much chance
for recovery. He told me he was sorry for
the act, and had he not been crazed by
drink he would not have committed the
deed. -

PATRIOTIC CHILDREN,
Exercises Given in the Allegheny Schools in
Honor of Washington

Exercises Given in the Allegheny Schools in
Honor of Washington.
The pupils in number of Allegheny
schools held interesting exercises yesterday
in celebration of WashingtoG's birthday,
the entertainment being arranged yesterday
because of a general entertainment to be
given on Monday at the Cyclorama hall.
For months the teachers have drilled
their classes in recitations and singing, un-
til it would be difficult to designate a class
that could not take the palm for efficiency.
The little ones were interested and proud
OF what had been accomplished.
Specially entertaining were the services
in the First, Second, Fourth and Tenth
ward schools. Prof Laclley had charge of
the ceremonies at the First ward, and con-
siderable enthusiasm was stirred up.
At the Second ward school, on Irwin
avenue, Prof Farrar presided, and had
class of very little children that won the
admiration and applause of the audience
The smallest child, Harry Luty, gave
recitation, III which he said that if the lit
tie fellows couldn't speak they could cheer
the flag and the 'StarS and Stripes
At the Fourth and Tenth ward schools
similar interest was manifested, as was the
case in several other buildings Monday
night delegations from all the ward schools
will meet with the High School students at
Cyclorama Hall to have combined enter
tainment.

TIE sOUTHSIDE EXCITED
Because of the Rumored Removal of Its
Leading Glass Factories.

Because of the Rumored Removal of Its
Leading Glass Factories.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED in
on the Southside last night over the circu-
lation of rumor that all the tableware
houses belonging to the United States. Glass
Company are to be removed from that side
of the river and located up the Mononga-
hela. The report is not authentic so far as
carrying oith it the verifcation of the Off
cials is concerned
1t is said the company has an option ON
1000 acres of land up the river upon which
it is proposed to locate the factories, and as
a result from 5000 to 1000 men with their
families would in all probability leave the
Southside to locate in the new town. The
land secured will be laid out in building
lots and the place will have population Of
upward of 10000 to begin with, provided
the scheme is carried through.
The factories affected are George Duncan
& Sons, Ripley & Co., King Glass Com
pany, Bryce Bros, Adams & &C., Doyle &
Co. and O. Hara & Co., the latter located in
Lawrenceville. Workmen on the South
side, while having heard very little about
the plans, felt reasonably sure that such
deal is on
