Judge Goff and Mr.. Lowndes Will
Supply the City With Natural
Gas From Their Wells in
This Section.
Artificial Gas System Will be Used for the pur
pose---Most Complete in the City-.-prices
Will be Reduced---Lively Competition

clarksburg Is to have another
natural gas system and the time is not
far distant 1t seems when fuel will be
virtually given away as the result OF
competition among the companies
operating.
The clarksburg Gas Company, in
which Judge Nathan Goff and R. t.
Lowndes are largely interested, will
take an important step In that direc.
tion, or at least it is so semi-ofilcially
stated. This company has the most
complete and largest pipe line in the
city. 1t has nearly every street piped.
1t will be an easy matter to convert
the system into a natural gas system.
The cost of making artificial gas is so
great that prices have necessarily had
to be high. There has not been war.
ranted profit in the operation of that
system. A natural gas system can be
operated much more cheaply and is
just as satisfactory, especially since
the company has its own wells and
pays so little for the cost OF produc
tion.
Since Judge Goff and Mr.. Lowndes
have been operating in the oil fields
and developing their own territory
they have drilled in several gas wells.
These wells are in the gas belt and
have fine flow and pressure. They
are OF convenient access to Clarksburg
and there would be small expense in
piping the gas to this city. These
wells number from eight to ten and
have an inexhaustable supply. Be-
sides these gentlemen own a vast
scope of undeveloped gas territory
almost within the corporation and
can look forward TO hundred years
to supply Clarksburg with natural
gas.
This movement will make gas cir.
cles quite active and will prove bene.
fetal in several ways to the city, one
of which will be large reductions ir
price.

BRUTES
Is What Aged Man Thinks of His
Assailants.
Warrant Issued fer Arrest of TWO
Miners.

John Meyers, an aged miner at
Ocean coal mines, made complaint In
Squire James N. Dayid's court Tues
day morning against Fred Covers and
George CARRIER, Americans, and a war.
rant was issued for their arrest.
Meyers alleges that the two men
came to his house before daylight
Christmas morning, broke in through
the door, and asked him for beer. He
informed them that he had none.
They began to abuse him and he or.
dered them from his home. They
then proceeded to viciously assault
him. They battered him up badly and
got him outside Of the house and down
In the snow. His wife rushed from
her bedroom in her night clothes to
rescue him. They turned upon her
and slapped and beat her.
The old man looked like he had been
very roughly handled. He had his
head bandages and his right eye was
IN a serious condition. His physician
thinks there is danger of his losing
the sight.
The delay in the institution OF Grim.
inal proceedings against them was on
account of the fact that it took him
some time to ascertain the names OF
his assailants.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of an officer to execute, but SC
far they have not been arrested.

rant for Miners.

Mike Blosko, the foreign miner who
got shot at Ocean mines Sunday and
who claimed he had been robbed of a
considerable amount of money, ap-
peared before Squire David today to
secure warrant against Joe and John
Kolish, Nick and Mike Domitroui and
a fellow named Joe. He says they are
the men who assaulted him. The
magistrate inquired carefully into the
case and found the situation such that
he did not believe the charge could be
sustained and, therefore. he did not
issue warrant.

Erect Fine Monument to his Memory y--MiII
be Very Handsome.

A specill from connellsyille says:
The friends of the late Floyd n.
Frnm, who died from hemoragic
smallpox in quarantine here two weeks
ago, will 5e compelled by the Board OF
Health TO allow his remains to rest in
Hill Grow Cemetery, where they were
buried urder such sad circumstances.
A beautiful monument, erected by the
relatives and friends of the dead, win
mark the grave.
1t has been the hope of Mr.. Frumss
family, ever since they sheard of his
untimely death, to take the remains
South for re-interment. The laws OF
the State would allow this at the ex-
piration q one year, If the body was
removed under the most strict SANTA
~ conditions The local health laws,
however, positively forbid the exhum-
Ing of corpse infected with smallpox.
Section 3of the Health Ordinance
of November 2s, 1893, says every
person WHO acts as a sexton, under
taker or cemetery keeper within the
limits of The borough, or has charge
or care Of any tomb. vault, burying
ground or other place for the recep.
tion OF the dead, or where the bodies
of any human beings are deposited,
shall so conduct his business and
shall so care for any such place above
named, as to avoid detriment or dang
er to public health; and every person
undertaking preparations for the
burialof j body dead from communiea=
BILE diseases, as hereinbefore enumerat-
ed, shall adopt such precautions as the
Board of Health may prescribe to pre-
vent the spread of such disease. No
dead bodies shall be exhumed and re.
moved between the months Of May
and October, inclusive, and no bodies
dead from smallpox shall ever be ex-
humed and removed. =
The passage of special ordinance
would be necessary in order to remove
Floyd Frum's body. His friends have
aoout given up hopes Of having him
buried at his home.
Instead, a movement is on foot
among the relatives of the dead man
and his friends and co.workers in the
engineering department. of the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad for the cree
tion of beautiful monument on the
lot in Hlll Grove cemetery where the
grave is-located. Superintendent Of
construc tin E. P. II. Harrison Of the
baltimore and Ohio railroad is at the
head Of the move ement and the me-
mortal win probably be a handsome
one:
