New YORK, December 27.-Judge
Martin to-day dismissed the indict-
meutS against DrS. Frank Ferguson ana
Irwin III. Hance, who we're charged
with unlawful dissection. The case
grew out Of the famous exhibition
given by Washington Irving Bishop at

ing which he fell into the trance in
which he died early the next morning.
The charge against the doctors grew
out of their holding an autopsy and

Wages.
PIrrsBUEG, PA, December 2T-In
regard 90 the readjustment OF wages at
Homestead, Beaver Falls, Upper and
Lower Union Pittsburg mills Of the
Carnegie Stee Company, limited, for
the year 1894, Mr.. Frick, the Chairman,
said this afternoon that the wages paid
at Homestead to-day we're those offered
the Amalgamated Association in June
1892 before the strike, the daily earn
ings hereunder being a higher percent
than those which prevailed be-
fore the strike While the re-
adjustment meant reduction In
tonnage rates, 10 business could be Sc
cured the radical Improvement in
machinery and methods would enable
the employees to earn much higher
wages than would be made at any 9TH
er works In this country. At the other
the wages paid to-day were those pre-
vailing in union" mills in this vicinity
prior TO the reduction made by the
Amalga mated Association ia 1892, and
the net earnings would be higher than
are now made IN amagamated mills.

NArunAL Gas ron caARLEsros.
Two Hundred Men at Work ON the Line
From the Wells to the City

Special Teleoran ~ tae Rs0ifis-
CHARLESTON, w. VA, December %.
The State capital is about to enter
upon a new era--an era OF natural gas.
The Charleston Natural Gas Company
expects to enter the city tomorrow
with pipe line which is being laid
from the natural gas beds about ten
miles east OF here on the Kanawha
river, where the natural gas beds have
been tapped. Two hundred men are at
at work laying the pipe and the line has
been extended from the gas field Ia an
incredibly short time. The company
expects to have from eighteen to TWEEN
" miles OF pipe laid through the streets
OF Charleston within the next two
months aud be ready then TO furnish
10 consumers.
hon. W. S. Edwards, one OF our most
public spirited citizens, has for The past
eight years been engaged In an effort TO
find the natural gas beds which he was
satisfied existed in the vicinity OF this
city. He has from time 20 time organ
ICED a number OF prospecting companies
which havs succeeded each other snd
carried on the work OF drilling expert
mental wells for natural gas. One after
another these companies have given up
the search for gas and dlsbanded. Mr..
Edwards. however. has never been dis
couraged, but has carried on the work
Of prospecting from year 10 year, aided
by first one company OF capitalists and
then another, until now he Is salts
fed that he bad determined the loca-
tion OF gas beds OF sufficient extent aud
power to justify the laying OF this long
line OF pipe. The company with which
Mr.. Edwards Is now associated In bring
ing this gas 10 Charleston are all prAc-
tical natural gas men, having been sue
cesSfully engaged In boring for aud
piping gas in other fields The fact
that these men all have practical knowl-
edge and experience In the business and
are willing 10 invest from Sl50,000 10
5000, 600 In the plant is sufficient surety
that the bringing Of natural gas 70
Charleston is no mere experiment, but
that practically inexhauStible bed has
been found, and that IL is OF sufficient
power TO supply the city for all domes-
tic and Industrial purposes.
The introduction OF natural gas Will
revolutionize things ia Charleston.
Cheap fuel will quickly bring manu-
featuring concerns here, the most ac-
cessible point 10 the iron ore OF the two
Virglnias. Clean fuel will eliminate
the dirt, SCOT aud smoke incident to the
use Of coal fuel, and thereby make
Charleston a much more desirable
place Of residence.
The people OF Charleston are waking
up to the realization Of 3 new era OF
personal comfort and industrial pros
perity.

from Washington. He was seen by an
Associated Press reporter al his resi-
dence shortly after his arrival. 10 re-
sponse to the query regarding the re-
ported compromise OF the Pollard
breach OF promise suit. tho Colonel said;
"The pretended report that there had
been any compromise Of the suit Is
a lie out OF the whole cloth without =
thread OF truth.
There has been no communication,
no negotiations or settlement, nor nave
| any idea where the plaintiff Is now.
So far as am concerned there has not
been at any time the slightest iounda-
tion for the report"
Upon being asked II be would be
candidate for reelection, he replied:
81 have Ia every form announced my
self as candidate and every man In
the district is so aware. Nothing but
death will end my candidacy until after
the nomination, OF which / am certain.
From the emphatic manner in which
the Colonel made this announcement 10
left the impression that be intended re-
signing should he win tho nomination.
Miss Pollard Is not Ia the city as re-
ported from Washington. Mrs. Hoyt,
her friend with whom she always stops
while here, says she has received no in-
tImation thSs Miss Pollard intends COM

To the Police Commissioners:
In view of the present financial strin-

pie, would respectfully suggest that
you give employment TO the heads OF
families in preference to single men, as
far as practicable. do not urge the
discharge Of single men without regard
to circumstances, but when changes
are made think it advisable that this
should be kept in view. 1t is possible
there may be instances where it would
be wise to make removals in order TO
provide for deserving heads Of families.
