The Gas Investigation.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In trial at law IL does not take a spec-
tator, who hears the questions of the law
yers. very long to decide who represents
the plaintiff and who the defendant So at
the recent gas investigation it was very
plain that the sympathy of several MEN,
bers Of the committee with the gas
company. Here are a few notes:
Several witnesses of the people were not
allowed TO testify for want Of time while
many valuable hours were consumed in
slowly re-reading the written-out testimony
of the gas experts. on the plea that they
wanted 10 correct any errors in their tcstl-
mony. OF course this work of correction
could easily have been done privately, but
then the effect Of the rehearing Of such
testimony would have been lost
As the examination proceeded, whenever
point against the gas company came out
II was generally parted by some remark
or question on the part of some member OF
the committee. For instance when Capt
Powell a District Commissioner. was on
the stand, he was asked: In your list
captain, i see number of small cities You
do not wish TO compare them with WASH
ington, city OF nearly $4,000" TO this
Capt. Powell gave an incautious and not
very audible assent. The absurdity OF such
a proposition is seen In the case Of a num-
Der OF cities. Take, for instance. Hamilton,
Ohio. in which tine writer's information is
at first hands. There private gas is 81, and
public lamps. lighted every night IN the
year, are only Sl5 a year, against over 81
here for only 800 hours. Now, N Hamilton
can light $50 lamps for only sl5. and at a
sufhcient profit to accumulate a sinking
fund for the payment of the cost If the
works, why is not the fact pertinent very
pertinent, here in Washington, where the
company has the patronage Of many times
this number of public lamps? The fact IL.

Again, the gas company had ma lie a

phalt streets. and the cost Of opening them

at word nearly the whole case OF the gas
company collapsed. Although the superin-
ten0ent OF tne company present was
strangely given the opportunity to crJss-

severely alone.
The feeblencss Of the argument Of the r.is

Warming.
signs of Its Coming.
Its Ravages Are Increasing. What
Can Be Done to Stay Its Progresss

During the month OF January Just past the raw
ages from pneumonia have been appalling. In the
city Of New York alone the deaths from the dread
disease lumber more than 600. and judging from
recent telegraphic reports doubt not that the
mortality has been correspopdingly large in other
psrts Of the country.
For reasons unknown to US, says the New York
Sun in q recent editorial the mortality from pneu.
monia has risen very greatly in recent times. Up
to two years ago the average annual number of
fatal cases of IT was under 1000; but in 1892 the
number 5.s41. and last year 6.4I6. The med
ical faculty ought to be able give
PLANTATION Of this serious fact, and, we should
think, might be able to find effective
means of dealing with the most deadly OF all the
maladies with which the city is afflicted. While
they engaged in trying TO discover improved
method of treatment people must strive to
their safety against the disease by ay Ji,ling
the causes Of 1t. SO far as may be possible II 1t
gets hold of the system there is danger in

Pneumonia results from exposure. change Of

A celebrated New York physician told the Trib-
une that pneumonia q secondary disorder, the
exposure and cold being simply the agent which
develops the disease, already dormant in the

In short. pneumonia Is but early Indication Of

The Gang Broken Tn.

The ingalls, affair gave the doughty leader
a more exaggerated opinion of himself tn an
he had ever before entertained, If such an
J exaggerat ton was possible. and he began
to lord 1t over his followers. He wanted
all the honors. emoluments and attentions
of captain of brigands. He gave them to
understand that he was a bandit chief. and
therefore his commands must be obeyed or
somebody must die. Bob Rogers refused to
ride his errands. and ''kiowa" declined to
groom Bits horse. The result was d dis
ruption. Bob. Rogers, James Turner Dyna-
mite Jack), and Henry Turner (kiowsp left
the Daltons without notice and returned
to the old rendezvous on Big creek.
Their advent threw the community into a
state of terror. Everybody became fearful
of them. The presence of an officer on Big
creek was looked upon as very periious
proceeding, and no one could be induced
for love money to entertain a marshal,
and no one cared to be seen talking to one
AS a result, the gang remained undisturbed
for some time. and they traded horses

mounts to be obtained In the meantime
the ranks of the gang had been augmented
by the addition of Willis Brown, who left
his fathers home at White Oak station, On

robbers. Bob Settler, a mere boy who had
