WASHINGTON d. c., November g.
A pamphlet issued by the Geological
Survey on the production of natural
gas in the United States, says the total
value of natural gas produced and mar
keted in 1899 was $40, 024,S73, gain OF
$4.72S,060 over the previous year. Lit
tie new territory was developed during
the year except in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. The latter State made
the largest increase Of any Of the gas
producing States. There were four
large companies operating in the State
during the year, which conveyed the
product into Pennsylvania and Ohio
for consumption. They are response
Bile for the large increase in the natural
gas output of West Virginia. The total
number of wells producing gas reported
at the close of 1898 was S,453, and at
the close at 1899, 1888. This is an in
crease of $50 wells, or over ten per cent.
on the number at the close OF the pre-
ceding year. The increase in the value
OF the gas sold during 1899 was 81 per
cent over 1898. Of the total value of
natural gas produced in 1899 the APP
palachian fields supplied go per cent,
and the Lima, Ind, fields 81 per cent,
leaving but per cent. for the produc-
ton of all the other fields in the Unit
ed States.
The pamphlet says both the great
gas producing fields are approaching
exhaustion. All the fields show loss Of
pressure. The old field Of Trenton rock
gas in northern Ohio is nearly ex-
hausted That of Indiana is undergo
ing a rapid decline. Many of the old
fields have been practically exhausted
in Pennsylvania also. Were it not for
the fact that in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia the gas areas are more or less
separated by streaks OF unproductiye
territory, they, too, would have shown
the same conditions that are observed
in Ohio and Indiana.

ions at the close were 212Q5c inn

Wheat was a dull market through
out the session, save for brief period
Of agility at the start. Traders We're
disinclined to go into important de-
tails, and evening UP over the holiday
divided attention with betting haber-
dashery on the result of to-morrow's
balloting There was practically no
cash trade either here or at the sea-
board The market opened firm, De-
cember A@1ac up at 74c to 74Ac on
the advance at Liverpool and on the
statistics, there being a decrease in
worlds shipments and in the amount
on passage. The visible increased
259 600 bushels. Following the opening
December dropped to 73Bc on profit
taking, but later recovered and closed
firm A@Bc higher at 74@74hc. The
seaboard reported ten loads taken for
export and seaboard clearances in

ceipts We're 100 cars.
Provisions were dull but steady, sus-
tanned by lighter run of hogs than

small. January pork sold between

MARIETTA DEMOCRATS
Posting Money that Mckinley Will
Have Less Than BOG, 900 in Ohio.

Special to the Register.
MARIETTA, O., November 5.-Many
bets are being posted here on the eve
of the election. Democrats are wager
ing that McKinley's plurality in Ohio
will be less than thirty thousand, but
most of the betting is on the Congress
sional result in the Fifteenth district.
Hon. L. w. Fleetwood, of Marietta, is
the Democratic candidate against H. C..
Van Voorhis, of GAINESVILLE, who has
held the office four terms. Fleetwood
has $500 plurality to overcome, but he
and his friends are confident that he
will do it. gThere is great disaffection
in Washington county, many Republic
cans refusing to support Van Voorhis
under any circumstances.
The new equipment for the shops OF
the T. & o. c. E. railroad, which passed
under new management week ago, has
been received. New engines have been
ordered for all the regular trains and
the rolling stock will be completely
overhauled. The road has been a loser
for several years, but under the new
management has apparently taken on a
new lease of life The name has been
changed to the Marietta, Columbus d
Cleveland.
Thomas ]. Hadley has filed suit
against the Marietta Transfer & Storage
Company, claiming about five thous-
and dollars due on account for con-
structing their mammoth new stable.
The deeds by which the ground for
The new Ohio river dam at Marietta is
secured by the government were filed
to-day The total amount purchased
for the dam and material to be used
in it's construction is fourteen acres,
which cost the government about 49,
0O0.

They were buoyant from the beginning
10 the end of the session and dealings
were very heavy, although the buying
was not by the public but by profess
sional traders and on London and Ber-
lin orders. Bryan is hardly mentioned
here. The betting at Lloyd's is at odds
of to on Mckinley. Dealers-are ex-
pecting and preparing for very heavy
business on Wednesday, The stock ex-
change will be open at $3.50 instead Of
II O'Clock Considerable realization Is
expected from people who bought
some time ago at low prices and now
have large profits, but on the other
hand many are talking of buying more
when the result is known positively.
Money was in demand here this
morning, ard rates ruled from to IA

THE LEGEND OFTHEEAS
EGGS.

Cathedral BELLS with their hollow lungs.
Their vibrant lips and their braZen tongues
over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar.
Till the soaring notes 10 the are rolled
As he swings aloft in his path OF gold.
Dearest papa" says my boy to me
As lie mcrrily climbs his fathers knee,
why are those eggs that you me held
Coiored 50 enely with blue and gold?
And what is the beautiful bird that lays
such beautiful eggs on Easter daysg'
Tenderly shine the April skies
Like laughter and tears in my ohild's blue eyes.
And every face in the street is CAV;
Why cloud this youngster by saying nay9
So cudgel my brain for the story be beSs
And tell him the tale of the Easter eggs
''YOu have heard. my children. OF One who died.
Crowned with keen thorns and crucihed
And now Joseph. the wealthy whom Cod reward
Cared for the corpse Of the martyred Lord
And piously tomhed il within the rock
And closed the gates with mighty block
''Now. close by the gate a fair tree grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms Of blue,
And deep in the green trees shadoxy breast
beautiful singing bird sat on her nest
Which was bordered With moses like malachitc
And held four eggs Of ivory white
''Now. when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face 30 pale
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail
Her heart nigh broke with sudden psng.
And out Of the depth OF her sorTow she sang.
"All night long till the morn was up
She sat and sang in her moss wreathed cup
song Of sorrow. wild and shriu
As the homeless wind when it roams the hiu
So fun Of tears 50 loud and long
That the Gr9ci OF the world turned to song.
But soon there came, through the weeping
night,
slimmering angel clothed in white.
And ne rolled the stone from the tomb away,
Who're the Lord Of the earth and heaven lay,
And Christ arose in the clvcrns gloom
And IN living luster came IRON the tomb.
''Now the bird that sat in the heart Of the tree
Be!ieid the celestial mystery,
And its heart filled with I sweet delight
And 1t poured song the sobbing night;
Notes climbed notes, till higher. higher.
They shoot 10 heaven like sparks OF TIRE.
'When the slitterins white robed angel heard
The sorrowing song Of the grieying bird
AID heard the following chant OF mirth
! hat hailed Christ risen from the earth,
He said, sweet bird. be forever blcst.
Ihysolf, thy egss and thy moss wreathed nest
'And ever, my child. since that blessed night,
When death bowed down TO the Lord Of Light,
The eggs OF that sweet bird changed their hue
And burn with red and gold and blue
mankind. in their simple way.
Of the holy marvel of Easter day."
