BHOOKLYN'S GAS WAR
Fulton Company Announces a Re-
duction to 90 Cents Per 1000.
May Force Rival Concerns Into
Liquidation.
First Cut VIII BE Made to NINETY
Cents on July 1.

The Fulton Gaslight Company, OF
Brooklyn, which Is practically owned by
the STANDARD OIL Company, has started
what promises to be a bitter fight against
the other gas companies OF Brooklyn.
1t announced to-day that on July ! 1t
will reduce the price OF gas. for which at
present It Is charging 81 per 1000 cubic
feet, to 80 cents.
On Sept. 1t says It will make another
reduction to rs cents per 900. and that
again on Jan. /. 1895, another reduction
to so cents per 1000 will be made. pro-
viding the other companies do not mean
time go into liquidation.
The other gas companies are receiving
at present sl.25 per 1000 feet. and the
fight promises to be q most interest ting
one.
President Jourdan. OF the Fulton Com
pany. said to-day that his Company was
making the best and cheapest gas any
where in Greater New York. and that it
proposed to give the people of Brooklyn
the benefit Of It,
From other sources, II was learned
that this is only the beginning Of big
gas war in Brooklyn.
The Fulton has all the latest improve
ments for making cheap gas by the
water process at a great saving Of coal,
and uses the refuse naphtha product
OF the Standard on Company over again.
thus producing a frst grade gas at small
cost.
With these facilities 1t is the ultimate
intention to absorb the gaslight busi-
ness across the river by cutting prices
until the others cannot longer manu-
facture at profit, and then force them
to sell or go out of business.
The other companies claimed, when
the Legislature took action In regard to
gas prices in large cities last session, re-
quiring them to sell gas at 81 per thou
sand. that they could not do so at a
proht II this Is the case they will have
hard work lighting IA company thai is
ready and willing to reduce even TO SO
cents per thousand feet.
The Fulton's pipes now gridiron Brook
lyn and Its men are busy extending
them away out on the island, where
people have formerly burned oil. Why
the STANDARD oil Company should manu-
facture a cheap gas TO take the place Of
It's own oil In these localities is an en-
sma TO most people. The Fultons can
vassers are now out soliciting new busi-
ness at 30 cents a thousand.

wALWlTZ HANGED.
Ne was the Murderer of the state Prison
Keeper.

TRENTON, July 21-Joseph Walwitz
was hanged yesterday for the murder Of
Deputy Prison Keeper JamesB B. Lippincott
The drop fell at 1889. The body shot into
the air and dropped back. There was no
struggle and death resulted quickly.
Just before going to the scaifold Walwltz
made long rambling speech aud repeat
ing his old story that he did not fire the
fatal shot and that Lippincott was shot
by Deputy Keeper Leonard.
Joseph Walwitz was a worthless and
dangerous member of society, and was
sent to state prison in Trenton TO serve a
twenty years sentence for robbery. The
prison was a loosely managed institution.
Walwitz, who is a skilled mechanic, laid
careful plan to escape. He secreted
| tools from the prison shops to his cell.
He made himself a coat of armor out of
soft paper, and club like bass drum
stick out Of wood and rags. Then he
sawed through the bars Of his cell, and
two hours after midnight on the morning
of March 2 appeared before Keeper Wal
ters, who had charge Of the corridor He
overpowered Walters and took away his
| pistol. Then he hit him with his club and
| left him unconscious The next step to-
ward freedom was TO 20 into the main
hall, into which all the wings open.
There Keeper Lippincott and Deputy
Keeper Leonard were watching. Wal
witz rang tho electric bell aud Keeper
Lippincott answered it himself, opening
the heavy old fashioned door to see VIII at
Walters wanted, There stood Walwitz
with Walters pistol in one hand and the
club iu the other.
Now, from this point on the stories con
fct. Walwitz says that Lippincott see
ing what the matter was, ran out shout
ing for help. As he ran he half turned
and fired once, the bullet making wount
over his right eye, from which the blood
began to spurt He says that this wounC
maddeued him and he fred once, but. a,
be thinks, at random.
At any rate Lippincott had his back ful
towards him. Walwitz goes on to say
that just as Lippincott burst out of tn,
doors into the main hall two shots sounded
in that hall and Lippincott stumbled for
ward and fell as if he had been killed
Deputy Keeper Leonard, who was in tn,
main hall, says that he saw Walwitz fir
twice, and that these shots were aimee
at Lippincott, and that after them Lip
pinoott fell, and as he fell Walwit
struck him on the back of the head will
