THE HARVEY GAS PROCESS.


Make "a start sunday.
The Encouragement Of the Harvey
gas-making plant. at the city gas works.
is approaching completion. and il is
hoped by Mr.. Harvey tina a start at
making gas upon large scale can be
made Sunday.
This long delay has been caused by
the necessity of putting i'm iron retorjs
instead of the clay re-orts at first used.
The clay rltorts cracked soon after
they were started up. and il was seen
az once that they would not answer.
As result another complete outfit had
to be erected sud wrought iron retOrts
put in place. This work has been com
pleted, and there only remains the adj
justmeut CT some small details. The
new r5t0r.s are of wrought iron. 20
inches in diameter by half an inch
thick and il is believed and hoped they
will answer the purpose perfectly. The
oil and carhonz2d air, both from the
sam on side tank. are admitted to
these retorjs by different sets Of pipes.
but both under The same pressure. and
in the ietort. which is kept a, tenn

is formed. This gas passes directly to
the FasOmeter. but before leaving the
building condensation Hberates q large
quantity OF oil again. In The form Of Q

qualities from the oil originally used.

tanned from the Whitaker Iron COM
pany. The tracks were laid upon this
land six years ago, but no formal deed
had ever been executed The terms
upon which the conveyance OF TINS
right of way has been secured, and
which included a nominal money con-
sideration, are considered FAR ana
equitable. With the exception of the
right of way through the property OF
the Wheeling Steel and Iron Company
on the Benwood extension, the only
pending litigation affecting the Com
pany's right of way is proceeding re-
Gently begun by the Reymann Brewing
Company. to assert a lien amounting TO
about So, 500 upon our right Of way on
the bank of Wheeling creek, near the
brewery. This claim, as yet undeter-
mined, is based upon an alleged verbal
agreement with the former President
of this Company. r. II. Cochran.
1T is deemed advisable to replace
during the present year portion OF
the timber lining in the Mount Wood
tunnel with a permanent brick arch.
The expense of this will probably not
exceed $4,000. Other than this, no
other unusual expenses are contem-
plated for the Improvement or main
tenance of the COmpanys property
which has been kept in a good state Of
repair
1T is gratifying to report that the
relations Of your Company with con-
Meeting roads at Wheeling have con-
tinued friendly, and there is reason to
show a considerable increase over those
of last year.
From the report of superintendent
Taussig, it appears that the passengers
carried in 1895 numbered 15,5l7, as
against 20.724 in 1894. a decrease of
5,207, a fact largely due to the labor
troubles at the Wheeling and Lake
Erie mines and the smallpox scare.
The number of loaded freight cars
transferred in 1895 was Al .293, as
against 25.953 in 1894, an increase Of
1880. and the number of empty cars
transferred in 1895 was 22720, as
against 1888 in 1891. an increase of T.
SS2 This shows a very marked in
crease in the freight business Of the
Company. The number of foot passen-
gers crossing the Terminal bridge in
1895 was 62,972. as against 64,8S6 in
1894, a decrease of 1914. which was
brought about by the cessation of travel
owing to smallpox.
During the past year 2.421 feet of new
siding was constructed. and the total
mileage now owned by the Company is
1885 miles With the completion Of
the BenwoOd extension there will be
an additional large increase in the bus
mess of, the road in this direction. and
the outlook for the Companyfs bright

METHODIST CHURCH CONFERENCE
Time for Election of Bishops Fixed
for Thursday.

Cleveland, May lin the Methodist
Episcopal general conference today the
routine business transacted was disposed
of with as little effort as possible. The
most important question disposed OF was
the fixing Of the time for the election 81
bishops. The election will begin on Thurs
day of this week and continue until all che
officers are chosen. Resolutions were pre-
sented favoring the oDIlteration of the
color line in the election of bishops and
condemning lynchings, both of which were
referred to appropriate committees with
out action. Another resolution, proposing
a reduction in the salaries of conference
officials because of the hard times, was
also referred to a committee.
Bishop Walden presided. Rev. B. Z
Wittierspoon of southern California pre-
sented a resolution declaring that color
and caste do not enter into the conference
and the election of bishop Of African
descent should be viewed solely in the
light Of ability. 1t was presented for adop
ton, but the conference referred it to the
committee on episcopacy. The committee
on freedmens aid reported on the applica-
ton of the Delaware conference to change
it's name to the Southern Education Socie-
ty. The report was in favor of retaining
the old name. After debate the report was
adopted.

an appeal from the decree Of foreclosure
signed by Judge Hanford and states that
it will carry the matter to the circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco. sn-

within 30 days.
While the Seattle, Lake Shore & East
ern appears as appellant, the Northern
Pacific is said to be responsible for the
appeal In fact. their counsel represents
the Lake Shore In the appeal proceedings
The Northern Pacific wants to own the
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern, but It is
said that as the road is just about to be
reorganiZed 1T can not raise $3,O0O0OO or
100000, the sum necessary to figure on
at the sale Of the Lake Shore, and conse-
quently the appeal from the decree Of
foreclosure has been taken in order to
gain time. 1t is expected that by the end
of 80 days the Northern Pacific will he
in a position, and if not another play for
postponement will be made.
The Northern Pacific owns majority
of the stock in the Lake Shore and sale
of the property at the present time would
result in an enormous loss to the trans
continental line, as it is not believed suf-
fcient money would be realized to pay the
bondholders more than so cents on the
dollar.

r.. William F.. McKay's Widow
Seeks Special Pension.

Washington. D. c., May 1O-Few of
those entitled to call themselves pioneers
OF the Pacific northwest, now comprised
in the three great states of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, were unacquainted
with the late DR.. William c. Mckay Of
Pendleton, Or, whose widow is now seek
ing special pension from the United
States government of $40 month. Dr.
Mckay was one Of the earlier heroes of
the Pacific northwest and did probably
more than any other one man to save
the settlers from the savages during their
outbreaks. He served with United States
troops in various capacities, and while
never regularly enlisted, at one time drew
the pay and allowances of a second lieu
tenant of cavalry. The Oregon legisla-
ture memorialized congress to pass this
bill, and Senator Shoup voicing the senti-
ment of the senate committee on PEN
sions. has made strong report in it's
favor.

SPAIN IS BETWEEN TWO FIRES
London News Says the Spanish Ought
to Distrust Their Own FerOcity.

London, May l0.-The Daily News Will
say in an editorial tomorrow regarding
the cases Of the Competitor captives IN
Havana:
The serious news from Cuba places the
Spanish government between two fires. 1t
is difficult to see how either side can re-
cede. If the Spanish government sacri-
fees General Weyler it will probably have
to be prepared to sacrifice its own life.
Public opinion In Madrid is hardly well
informed enough to profit by the Virgin
ius case In 1873. The Spanish ought to
distrust their own natural ferocity IN
cases of this sort. The butchery OF the
men of the Virginius. which many OF
tfem applauded at the time as fine ana
spirited act, was received with horror ana
execration throughout the world.
