Garvey's station, just this side of the
Horseshoe curve, Kellen ran out on the
platform before he could be prevented by
Melvin, and jumped off 1t looked like a

lay still. The train had been stopped and
the traiimen and Sergeant Melvin were
searching for the deserter's body. They
failed to find him, but before they gave it
up Kellen got up and walked to Altoona,
where his wounds were dressed in hos

MAYOR KENNEDY'S VACATION.

He Goes Away to Fish With Justice shir.s
"A Successful Negotiation With the
Pleasant Valley Company-Devotion to
City Business.
Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, will leave
this morning for fishing trip on the Up
per Peninsula Of Michigan. In company
with Justice Shiras, who is already there,
he will spend two weeks angling for the
frisky trout. The fishing camp is situated
about IA miles inland from Marquette. Mr..
Shiras and MI. Kennedy have been fishing
there since 1864, the Mayor having missed
only two summers in these 2S years. George
Shiras III. also goes to this preserve, but
his favorite time is in the winter, when the
deer shooting is prime, and when fat black
bears are abroad in the thickest forest
Mayor Kennedy is an ardent sportsman
and has spent many seasons hunting in the
Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, Montana
and Idaho. His residence on Cedar avenue
is adorned with the heads of the larger game
of the United States. All were brought
down with. his own rife; He has not yet
added grizzly to his collection, but looks
forward hopefully to the time when he will
be able to do so.
Yesterday, before his going away, he had
a number of animal heads conveyed from
his home to his snug little Office in the City
Hall, where they now grace the walls. The
heads include one elk, two deer, prong
horned antelope and q fine specimen of the
big horn or Rocky Mountain sheep.
Before departing on his vacation the
Mayor had the pleasure of concluding an
arrangement with the Pleasant Valley Com
pany which will be gratifying to many
people in Allegheny. He has succeeded in
persuading the company to remove two of
its four tracks on Federal street, between
Ohio street and North avenue. When this
company opened its line west ON North
avenue it already had on that part Of Fed
eral street the two tracks of the Perrysville
avenue line. Instead of using them between
Ohio street and North avenue for the other
branches it laid two additional, thus occu-
pying all of Federal street for three blocks.
1t has now agreed to take up the two out
side tracks, and use the central tracks for
all it's branches
The Mayor on his return hopes
to see the police magistrate ordinance en-
acted. so that the burden of municipal work
will be taken from him. A meeting of
Common Council will be held next Thurs
day evening, and it is likely that the magis-
trate ordinance will then pass that body.
1t has already passed Select Council

NATURAL GAS GALORE.

The New Fields Being Opened Show More
Of the Famous Fuel Than All the Other
Territory-1he Snee Well at Elizabeth
Purchased.
Pittsburg is again great gas city. Never
since the early days of natural gas has this
precious fuel been so abundant. The pre-
diction by THE DISPATCH at the discovery
of the Pinhook field that there was an
abundance of gas for ten years has more
than been fulfilled. With the additional
discovery of the new field at Eliza
beth gas experts claim the outlook was
never brighter. The Philadelphia Company,
1t is said, is even reaching out for contracts
from manufacturers, a thing it has not done
for several years.
The men best posted claim there will be
more gas in Pittsburg this winter than any
time since the palmy davs of the Murrays-
vile and Grapeville fields Though gas is
again plentiful the value of it is thoroughly
understood. The prices now paid are the
greatest ever known in the history of the
business The famous Shee we'll has
been purchased by the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, Limited. The exact amount paid by
the company for this territory{is not known,
but the price asked by Mr. Snee for his
famous well and the lease OF 3, 800 acres of
land was $150,0O0.

Pittsburgers Going to New Orleans for the
Fights-Army Reunion at Nashville.
As the time ior the pugilistic encounters
in New Orleans draws near, the interest in
the slugging matches in Pittsburg Is
rapidly increasing. 1t is surprising how
many people are going to Louisiana c.
A. Baird, travelling passenger agent of the
Queen and Crescent road, was in the city
Yesterday and completed arrangements
for carload out of Pittsburg. They will
occupy a special Pullmal car, and as the
hotels will be crowded they expect to live
in the sleeper at New Orleans The Queen
and Crescent road has agreed to locate the
car in convenient place. The Pittsburg
people will leave here Saturday evening,
September 3, and are scheduled
to arrive in New Orleans at
noon on Monday. Mr. Baird says his
line is offering greatly reduced rate. The
Pennsylvania declined to make a rate out
OF Pittsburg. The various roads interested
have been assigned sections of seats for the
fights to sell to their patrons. The Q. &
c. has left section B. and the seats can be
had by applying TO john Staley or Superin-
tendent of Police Roger O'Mara, who are
members of the Pittsburg party.
Another event of interest in the South is
the reunion of the Army of the Cumberland
at Nashville September Is and It, The
railroads have made rate of one fare for,

number of people from Pittsburg and other
parts of Pennsylvania are going. The lines

asserting that he had gone to Pittsburg as
the agent of an anarchistic plot, contrived
in Vienna to finish the work Berkman
failed to do.
The Plot Originated In New York.
''The story was told with good deal of
detail, and said that the plot had been re-
vealed to Otto Eberhard, the Austrian Vice
Consul here, and had been communicated
by him to the police of both New York and
Pittsburg. The New York and Pittsburg
police contradict this report, as far as it re-
lates to them. Evernard is noncommittaL
At the Pinkerton agency it was said that
they had no doubt that Aaronstamm had
engaged in such a plot. In their opinion
the plot had not originated in Vienna, but
New York.
superintendent Byrnes said that he knew
nothing regarding the subject matter of the
dispatch from Pittsburg which states that
an Anarchist named Aaronstamm had left
this city Q couple of days ago with the
avowed intention of killing II. c. Frick.
The dispatch in question says that
the second plot to kill Mr..
Frick was revealed to Mr. Otto
Eberhard, Austrian Vice Consul in
this city, who communicated it to the
police of this city. Superintendent Byrnes
said he had not seen the Vice Consul nor
heard from him concerning any plot to
kill Mr.. Frick. He added that no informa-
tion had come to him from any source re-
earding the man Aaronstamm. Superin-
tendent Byrnes places little faith in such
q person having gone to Pittsburg to kill
Mr. Frick'

new crisp dollar bill to Assistant Cashier
Harper and Mr.. Bickel. the teller, asking
their opinion as to its genuinenesa With
out hesitation they pronounced it good
money but the visitor declared it was coun-

buy all he wanted at $50 per 81, 900. When
the officials looked second time at the
bill they noticed that the silk thread which
runs across the face of all United States
greenbacks was missing. The stranger said
he was a Government secret service detect

counterfeiters who were doing such clever
work.
United States Marshal Harrah says the
man is fakir. If the Government was

Ordinance Clerk McKenna viGiIant In
Tracing Down Hucksters Who Take
Advantage of a Charitable Resolution
That Exempts War Veterans From a Tax.
The vigilance of Ordinance Clerk Nc.
Kenna in tracing down the hucksters who
have taken illegal advantage of the old sol.
diers' free huckster license resolution was
rewarded Yesterday, and James Doyle, a boy
of 20 years, is in the Central police station
as result
A resolution was added to the huckster
license some three wears ago exempting vet
Grams from paying the license upon making
affidavit in court to the effect that they
were dependent upon peddling for liveli-
hood. The resolution was taken advantage
of several times, and short time ago Ordi-
nance Clerk MeKenna decided upon put
ting a stop to ii.
James Dovle was found peddling under
the free plate that was issued TO Thomas
McSlone last May. The father of the boy
has two license plates for which he paid at
the same time. He uses one upon a wagon
in Allegheny and the other upon a
wagon in Pittsburg. In tracing
down the case Mr.. McKenna found that Nc
Slone, in whose name the plate was issued.
is now and has been for some time past in
the Soldiers Home in Dayton, o. As
the license plates are not transferable
under any circumstances, Mr.. McKenna
made q complaint affainst the boy, who was
arrested by Officer Sterck, and will have a
hearing to-day.
In speaking of the case Mr. McKenna
said in the majority of such cases the plates
would be issued under the resolution aud
then would be sold to hucksters at a much
lower rate than they could be purchased for
in the regular way. "There has been a
number of such cases"' he concluded 'and

is now practically supplying all the
Philadelphia Company's lines. From
this one we'll is drawn the supply
for the Brilliant and Heron Hill pumping
stations and all the towns along the Ale
gheny river from Tarentum to Pittsburg.
Notwithstanding this tremendous strain it
is claimed 20 per cent of the gas is blowing
off at the well. 1t is like the early DAYS of
natural gas when the pressures were SO high
it was impossible to hold the
full volume in the lines. A remark
able fact in regard to the Pin
hook wells is that they have been con-
stantly increasing in pressure since they
were first drilled. This is especially true
of the Pinhook wells that have been drilled
near Milltown. They now gauge double
what they did when completed.
The Hess well is now acknowledged the
largest gas well and greatest volume well
that has ever been struck in any field.
This is proven by the fact that it supplies
nearly all the Philadelphia Company's
lines. The we'll is actually doing more than
any six wells the Philadelphia Company
ever had in either the Murraysville or
Grapeville fields were ever able to do. At
O'Clock on the evening of August 5 there
was line pressure Of 9S7 pounds at the
well.
The Enormous Limo Pressure.
The Philadelphia Company has never
had q line pressure equal to this
since the days when the Murraysville and
Grapeville fields were at their height.
The drill has proven the enormous ex-
tent of the Pinhook field, though it has as
yet set no limit to its richness. 1t is from
10 to 20 miles long, and no one vet knows
how wide. With this field and the one at
Elizabeth at the big Snee we'll, it shows
more gas in sight for Pittsburg from these
two new fields than ever before.
Though the Philadelphia Company was
unable to come to terms with Mr. Snee, it
purchased farm in fee simple close to the
Carnegie lease One portion lies SO close
to the Snee we'll that the company is now
putting up rig within 125 feet of the
great gasser. The supply already assured
in Plnhook with what is expected there
puts not only this company but the Peo-
ple's company in as good condition as ever
they were.

and partly not. The brother went on lit

Malarky, and while inebriated sold Vale a
horse and wagon that belonged to his
huckster brother for IS. The latter went to
Vale and asked for his property, but was
refused. Malarky pleaded, but Vale was
firm. Malarky resorted to the law, and
Vale was arrested. He will be given an
