The Council Committee on Ordinances
met last evening with the expectation OF
formulating an ordinance, under the reso-
luton introduced into Council. last Tues
day evening. by Mr.. Waterhouse, and
passed by that body, the terms of which
call for an ordinance repeating the ex-
listing franchises of the two natural gas
companies now doing business in this city
and throwing the bars down for each to
do business where, when and with whom
it pleases, upon condition that the COM
panies pay into the city treasury sums of
money based upon the business done. \
representative of the Manufacturers
Company was present. but no one appear
ed on behalf of the West Virginia Com
pany. The representative of the Manu-
facturers Company asked for delay, rs his
Company was not prepared TO 20 into the
matter. and after some discussion the
Committee agreed to adjourn until Friday
evening Of this week. but a resolution was
adopted notifying both companies that
they must be ready at that time to enter
into q discussion of the proposed measure.
as in default tho Committee would pro-
coed with the preparation of the ordin-
ance. II is understood that the measure
is TO be introduced into Council at the
next regular meeting, and members said
last evening. at the City Hall, that it
would be pressed 10 its passage with all
possible speed.
There is some public anxiety upon tho
subject, largely arising out of the fear
that if the bars are thrown down." as
is proposed. the limit will be
token of the price charged con-
sumers. among other things. and
that then the two companies. by
agreement. may put up the price to twenty
cents net or even twenty-five cents. con-
sumers being powerless to prevent such
action.
When the Committee meets the discus
sion will very probably be full of interest
for citizens generally. and it looks as
though another big gas fight was about
to be put on the boards.
Meanwhile. gas is sllase.

DIED FROM LOCKJAW.

Yesterday afternoon, Earl, the six
teen-year-old son of Henry Shiyely,
pressman at the Stats Zeitung, who
lives at No. 81 Zane street, died OF
lockiaw. About two weeks ago he ac-
cidentally ran a rusty nail in his foot.
The matter was not given the proper
medical attention at the time and in a
short time afterward the wound heal
ed up sufficiently to permit the boy to
90 out and walk around. There was
no thought that the matter would term
mate seriously, but several days ago
he was taken very i'll and physicians
sent for. He grew worse. however
until a few days ago his Jaws became
perfectly locked and rigid. Not a par
ficlo of food could be passed through
his mouth and death came as reiiet
to his sufferings.

Considerable surprise was OccaSioned
here this morning when it was learned
that Humphrey Williams, who has for
the past four years been doing business
i'm the Commercial Block. on Hanover
street. had made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. The papers were
filed with the PROBATE Court at St. Glars
vile. at twelve o'clock this morning, and
i'm them Z. +. McCombs. Esq. is named as
assignee. The creditors are principally
Wheeling parties with whom Mr.. Will
Iams did business. most important
among whom are Speyer Bros, wholesale
dealers in notions and gents furnishings,
the Delaplain Dry Goods Co, and Kraft,
Frcuk & Co. proprietors of the whole
sale notion house at l3l5-11 Main street.
The immediate cause Of the failure was a
Judgment for $3.50 gotten out by Spcyer
Bros. at ST. Clairsviue Saturday. upon
which immediate execution was ordered.
Sheriff Darby was present ut twelve
o'clock this morning to levy upon the
goods. but not having possession Of tho
key TO the property this could not be sat
isfactorialy accomplished, and legal en-
ENGAGEMENTS may arise i'm consequence.
Mr.. Williams has been in the dry goods
business here for the past twelve years,
but the last three have rendered it i'm
possible for him 10 keep up expenses and
subsist upon the small margins and dull
trade. The books show credits to the
amount of SJo0. most Of which is collect
able. General regret is expressed at the
business misfortune.

One of the boldest and strangest rob-
berries occurring in this city for long
time past was reported to the police
last Saturday morning by w. R. Dud-
ley, whose commission house is located
at the corner of Market and Twentieth
streets.
When the place was opened up Satur-
day morning, it was found that a win
dow had been broken during the night,
through which an unknown party had
entered the house, and that the safe
lock had been broken and the small
money drawers pried out with a hatch
ct, in search Of valuables. A good
sized wagon load of Malaga grapes and
other property had been carried of.
The police at once went to work on
the case, and after a good deal of trou-
BILE Lieut.. Ingram fixed upon certain
party who is possessed of a team, and
at once procured buggy and started
for St. Clairsville, where the suspect
was supposed to be. Before he got
hold of the party, however the officer
was stopped by another man, who said
the matter was all right and would be
settled. and settled it was, without
publicity, the issuance of a warrant, or
other proceedings usual in cases Of
crime.
The police were put to a good deal
of trouble and some expense, the latter
being paid out of their own pockets.

Prehistoric Egyptian Giants.

In 1881, when Prof. Zimmerman was
engaged in exploring the ruins Of an
ancient temple of Isis on the banks OF
the Nile, sixteen miles below Najar
Djfard. lie opened row of tombs in
which some prehistoric race Of giants
had bccn buried. The smallest skele-
ton, out OF some sixty odd which were
examined during the time Zimmerman
was cxcavating at Najar .Djfard
measured seven feet and eight inches
in length and the largest eleven feet
and one inch. Memorial tablets were
discovered in great numbers, but there
was no record that even limited that
they were in the memory of men of ex-
traordinary size. 1t is believed that
the tombs date back to the year 10A3

Auaavious Mountain Lions.

ANtaSfouS hAOhhtll'i i-iphH'
The following extracts from private
letter, received a few days ago from Mr..
Foreman OF White River City, will
prove interesting reading especially
to those interested in range matters:
1.-The dry weather is driving all the
mountain lions from the hills down to
the river and woe to the calves that are
left down in this lower country. They
are also as fond OF mutton as they are
of veal, having killed Eve of my little
flock of pet sheep, and they are so bold
about 1t. thought that bells would
have some effect TO scare them away,
but one night little while ago they
caught the old eve wearing the biggest
bell while my dog was barking as loud
as he could, and dragged her doYn with
in two hundred feet of the house to eat
her. l supposed it was lynx or wild
cat and set some small traps to catch it.
| had four set around the carcass and
the lion was cute enough to take it out
to another place to eat without spring
ing trap. l persevered, however, and
the third night l caught one and an
other sprung another trap and got
away. went to the traps TO look for a
bobcat and finding one OF them gone,
took my gun to kill the game, and sud
denly heard ferocious growl within
ten feet of me. The brush was too thick
to run in and had to shoot and shoot
quick and true. l sent the bullet into
the left eye and broke the Jaw and neck,
SO there was no use for knife.
THAT old story about lion not eat
ing anything that it does not kill is all
bosh. | attempted to burn the carcass
but only roasted it and another lion
came and ate it. Sunday night another
lion took a lamb and Ncnday night 1
took another lion. think can stand
it if they CAM
In addition to the above County As
sor Hayes informs us TINT lions have
become so numerous in The Thurman
creek region that it is almost impossible
to raise colts on the range in that Sec
ton. We believe it wouli pay ranch
men and stockmen living il the country
tributary to White River City to hire a
professional lion hunter % clear the
range of these stock destro,ers.
