The name of Eureka gas is given 10
new illuminant. expected to rival acety-
lene. This gas, as described In Invention,
and originated by NJ. Hector dc raw oi
Montefascone Italy, is obtained as foi-
lows: Lime, as pure as possible Is en-
ployed as y base colOphony and calcium
carbide being added-1,0Oo parts OF the
mixture ready for use consisting OF w
of auicklme, 50 Of colophony, and 90 OF
calcium carbide-and there is said to be
no liability of explosion by mixing with
air: no heating OF water, and no special
burner is needed. One thousand parts
of the mixture give sixty litres OF gas AT
a pressure Of thirty-five millimetres or
water; and the photometric intensity OF
the flame Is stated to be &.4 candle
hours, while the same amount Of calcium
carbide employed slngly would give only
eighteen candle hours. Thus, II Is es-
serted, the new gas is 90 per cent. cheap
err than acteylene, or that at equal cost
Il will give half as much more light.

Fatal shooting.-Charles Howard,

Fatal Shooting. Howard, a
colored man, about twenty-seven years of
age, who resides near Colesville, this county,
was brought here on Monday and lodged
in Jail on the charge of having shot and
killed Edward Butler, also colored, near
Spencerville, on Saturday night last.
The shooting took place at dance of the
colored inhabitants of the neighborhood of
Spencervlle, and Howard was not caught
until Monday. when he was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Samuel Jones. Butler was
shot in the stomach, the bullet from 80 cali
Der revolver passing through his body. He
fingered until Sunday morning, when he
died from the effect of the wound. There
are several versions as to the cause of the
shooting, and it is doubtful if the true motive
will ever be known, as there was no one
present when the shot was fired except
Howard and his victim. Howard says that
the shooting was done purely in self-de-
Tense, and only after Butler had fired shot
at him. He says he heard some one quar-
reling in an adjoining room to where the
dancing was in progress, and that he went
into the room to quel the disturbance But
Ter was engaged in quarrel with another
man, he said, and when he attempted to
separate them Butler turned on him, so he
alleges, and wanted to fight The accused
man states that he refused to have any trou-
BILE with Butler, and returned to the dancing
room.
Later in the night Howard had occasion
to go outside oil the house. He says Butler
followed him, saying that he intended Civ.
ing him good thrashng. They had some
words, 80 Towards story goes, and Butler
drew his pistol and fired at him. II was
then that Howard drew his pistol and fired
the fatal shot.
Howard has been working for Mr.. Ed
ward Davis, near Colesyille, and bears a
good reputation. 1t is said that Buffers
reputation was rather unsavory, and that
he was always looking for trouble.
