THE GAS SITUATION.
There Was a Material Improvement
in the Conditions YESTERDAY.

There Was q Material Improvement
in the Conditions Yesterday.
The City Gas Board and the Natural
Gas Company of West Virginia put all
available men to work yesterday, clear
ing the pipes of water, and by last
evening there was very material i'm
provenaent in the conditions. and last
night there was heat and light in many
residences. which were without
either on Monday. 1t will take
another day or two to cover
the whole OF the flooded territory, but
the work win be prosecuted AZ fast as
possible The number Of cases to be
attended to is very large. and some pa
thence will have to be exercised. as to
make needed examinations in all cases
in day or two Is sheer impossibility.

goods and stocks of merchandise re-

rise was coming up.
There is some water still in the eel
lars and on low-lying points, but the
river is again within its banks, and a
day or two CT sunshine will go far 20
wards restoring normal conditions.
Good weather was promised for yes
terday, and many hopeo for it, but
while the sun shone feebly once of
twice the day generally was a gloomy
one. particularly during the last half
OF the afternoon. Rain fell at inter
walls, and the weather last night was
particularly unsatisfactory, with no
very fair promise of anything better
to-day, as the barometer still ruled
rather low.
In the wholesale district of the city,
yesterday, the day was busy one.
There was great draining and pump
Ing out of cellars, and removal of goods
back to former positions, but late last
night there were still thousands of dol
lars worth of stuff along the sidewalks
on high ground, and it may be forty
eight hours before all of the exposed
merchandise disappears. Early in the
day Fire Chief Robert Cline was ap-
pealed to, and he ordered out three en-
gines for pumping duty. The big AT
lantic engine went to Hicks & Hoges
wholesale dry goods store, where it was
stationed on South street and cleared
out the cellars in that vicinity. The
Niagara was brought up late in the
afternoon and took station on Main
street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth, where good service was render
ed. The Wheeling engine, from the
Eighth ward. did similar duty on the
South Side. and the Vigilant was kept
in reserve. All the hose companies and
chemicals were kept in readiness to
answer any calls. and the department
was in no wise crippled by this extra
work, being ready at all times to an

men held on and the trouble of NOV
ing was obviated. AT the Niagara
house the water was over foot deep
on the floor.
AT midnight last night the stage of
water at the wharf was SO feet
and falling rapidly. BY this morning
the river will have shrunk very much
more, and will probably be down to
the rs foot mark or below.
The situation On the Island yesterday
was that usually following high water,
and has been duplicated in history
many times. BY daylight yesterday
morning the majority Of the inundated
streets were clear, but there was still
a navigsble condition on the south end.
During the day this water ran off rap
idly, and by dark last night the s:tua-
ton had very materially improved, and
this morning the Seventh ward will
be entirely free. Bright and early, in
that part of the city, householders were
