The most recent and exneditims nroe

The most recent and expeditions proc
ess in tanning, according to The Revue
Scientiflque, consists In passing a cur
rent Of hydrogen gas or a current Of
some gaseous compound Of hydrogen
containing certain quantity Of arsenic
through the liquid in which the hides
are immersed. The hydrogen Is obtained
either from the action Of commercial
sulphuric acid upon zinc or iron or from
that Of steam upon iron, the calculation
being, III fact, that in this case the by.
drogen obtained will contain sufficient
quantity Of arsenic. The gas, collected
under pressure in gasomcter, is intro
de,ed into the bottom of the tanning
vat through pipe provided with se-
ries OF apertures, and after bubbling up
through the liquid 1t flows ont through
another pipe affixed to the cover Of tho
vat Watts Of very large dimensions are
employed, and the tanning proceeds very
rapidly.

Death In the Flood.

A great rain storm burst over Pitts.
Sc-g and vicinity, deluging territory
several miles in extent, swelling the
streams into torrents, sweeping away
bridges and sending score of human
beings into eternity. The storm is
attributed to the approach Of cool
wave from the Northwest. Great dam.
age was done by water in various parts
of the city. The streets were covered
by debris, car lines tied up and tracks
blookaded. At Dehaven, small town
near the Wildwood oil well, six people
were drowned.

scending and aiming directly toward
them. Terror overpowered them,
bound them to their seats and prevent
ed their fleeing. But fortunately
while the mass of molten metal was
100 feet from them it burst, and the
fragments scattered with q report like
a cannon, the kissing sound which had
been growing in intensity eliminating
in a last dying gasp. No fragments
could be found.

Stock Company to Be Organized to Pro
mote the Big Meet.
Mr.. w. f. Roach, who is inter-
ested in the promotion of the
National l.. A. W. circuit races to
be held in this city June 5, is meet
ing with every encouragement in
the work OF soliciting stock sub
scriptions. The plan is to organ
ize stock company of $1,000 capt.
tai stock, the shares to be worth S.
each. Mr.. Roach has been at work
three days, and already has 5000
subscribed. The race meet is now
an assured event.
The Arkansas Pass railroad has
agreed to put on one-fare rates
from all points on the road over
100 miles from San Antonio, and
one and one-third fare from points
within this limit. Favorable in.
dications have also been received
from the other roads.
Some of the principal merchants
in town have promised to close
their stores on the day of the races
to allow their employees an oppor.
tunity to attend.
The original date was June 6
but on application to Geo. d
Gideon, chairman of the national
racing board Of the l.. A. W., it was
changed to the more convenient
date, June 5.
About forty national riders are
following the circuit, and a large
number of state riders will be
present. The meet Is an assured
success, and the promoters promise
a fine entertainment for the sport
loving contingent. Lee Richard.
son, the famous trick rider, is fol.

exhibition here.

TO ICE CONSUMERS.

1t is a well known fact that since

the public have reaped the benefit
of q reasonable price for that nee.
essary commodity "ice." Volun-
tarily on their part they set the

turers come down to a reasonable
figure.

The Feast Of the Ascension.

Today is Ascension day, being
the Thursday following the fifth
Sunday after Easter. The day is
celebrated by the church as the
one on which the Lord assembled
after the forty days sojourn on
earth after Easter.
1t is said that at noon on this
day the Savior led his disci.
plesand 300 witnesses out OF
Jerusalem along the road to Beth
any and there, before the eyes of
one, ascented to pleasure.
In the early days of the church
1t was customary to have a pro-
cession each Thurday in memory
Of the ascension Of the Lord, and
it is thought that these professions
were commenced for the purpose
OF preventing the people from at
tending the pagan procession on
this day in honor Of Jupiter.
In the Catholic church, the
paschal candle, which is lighted
on Holy Saturday, and which rep
resents Christ risen, is extin-
guished sym bolizing that the Saw
our on this day as the light of the
world, went up to heaven.

Natural Gss In Wheeling.

The city should be fair 10 the Natural
Gas Company OF West Virginia, fair to
the Manufacturers Company and fair to
its own people. The Mau4tacturers'
company wishes to be allowed to en-.

The West Virginia company obJcc.s
on the ground that 1t has an exclusive
franchise which bars the other company
out OF the privilege 1t asks. and that 1t
has paid we'll for It's exclusive franchise.
It is very improbable that :he exclusive
franchise would stand an assault on It.
AS to the price paid. that Is In gas ftr-
nIshed to the city without charge. Not
20 much Is furnished as in earlier days
of the company's operations in this city.
The amount furnished has been consid-
ernbly reduced. But that Ices not touch
the real point.
II the interest OF Wheeling from the
point OF view OF Its business life demands
that two companies Instead OF one shall
furnish natural gas here, then It would
BE- better to give up 50 much as remains
OF the free gas supply To the city direct

For that matter the city and the West
Virginia company may as we'll open

QUESTION OF FAIR PLAY.
Free silver Democratic Organ Accepts tho
ltesult Gracefully.

Netnit tsTnCrInlly.
ST. Louis Republic, CFrec Silver
Dcm.): 1t Is not to be doubted that the
Republicans In Congress are entitled to
the control OF legislation without any
obstructive opposition. Tho people
have declared by nm unprecedented ma
jority in favor OF the application OF the
principles and policies OF the St Louis
platform to the work OF restoring the
prosperity OF the country. This decision
is binding upon all parties. The Repu6-
lIcan victory was honestly won. after
one OF the most vigorous and cNCkinS
campaigns in our history, and 1t Is the
duty OF those who were beaten to ac-
ccpt the situation in good faith. 1t Is n
question OF fair play, OF giving the VIC
tors full opportunity 90 put their doc
trincs and purposes to a practical test.
II they are right, then the times Will
improve and everybody will be benefit
ed: and II they are wrong, then the p0-
lltkal advantage will 90 to the other
side, and the popular judgment Will be
reversed at til, next election. This Is
the theory OF our system OF govern
ment. The verdict OF n majority OF the
people carries with It the idea that the
thing decided upon shall have n Just
and reasonable trial. All kinds OF fac
t!ous and spiteful proceedings thus be-
come in a sense unpatrlotic, and there
Is no justification or excuse for them.
The Republicans ask In this instance
only the chance TO show what they can
do for the promotion 90 h general
welfare, and 10 stand or fall by their
success or failure in that respect II Is
gratifying to observe that several or
those who have heretofore figured as
obstruCtIonists are now disposed to
pursue n better course. Congressman
Newlands,o on OF the free silver leaders,
says he Is opposed 10 placing any OBJ
stacles In The path OF tia Republicans
20 far rs legislation for the relief Of
the government Is concerned; and Sen
ator Penec says: LET them have full
swing. and then It will be easy 10 fix
the responsibility" The Republicans
nrc entirely willing to'take the rcspon.
sibili;J. They have perfect faith In
the sOundnesS md efficiency Of the plan
by which they propose to make the
country prosperous, Is Il used TO be
when they were IN power. II is their
right to expect from their opponents
the unemharrassed use OF the facilities
provided for the enforcement Of thu Will
OF the people. They are willing TO have
their measures thoroughly discussed,
and to observe all reasonable rules for
the protection OF m!norlties. 1t Is not
their desire to do anything In an arhi-
,rary or unreasonable way. hut only to
have the privilege OF carrying out tho
wishes Of those whom they represent,
without any OF that parliamentary an-
~tnSonism which blocks the wheels OF
legislation. and makes II impossible for
the majority to take decisive action.
