SHROUDED
In Mystery is origin of adamston
Fire.
unknown Man Acts susp,eiously
In Matter.


A mystery surrounds the burning of
the Ms. Mary Banks house at
Adamston last Tuesday night. It
appears that the Dire was not caused
from gas from the Mountain State
Gas Company,s lines rs At nrst re-
ported. A half hour before the nre
was discovered m unknown man was
seen entering the house and when the
fire was discovered one Of the trainmen
in the yards there on his way to the
scene met . man with his hat pulled
down over his face. The trainman
asked the fellow TO 60 back with him
TO the IRE and help 20 put It out but
the stranger uttered not . word but
hurried onward.
Mr.. Lightner left the house the
morning before TO 60 to the tin plate
mills, where he is night Waterman.
He says that he turned the fires all
on as well as the lights and that there
was therefore NO gas burning in the
house.
From this state of facts it would
seem that the mouse was set afire by
an unknown fire-bug and not by
natural gas. There is no idea as to
who the fellow is who did This
malicious deed.

SET AFIRE
Was Gas In Mountain State Com
pany's Line.
Track of TWO Men Discovered al
the Scene.

Between II and O'Clock Christmas
morning the Mountain State Gas
Company's system experienced anoth-
er fire. It was at the same point,
where the explosion occurred on the
Steaiey farm Monday night, after
which the reducing valve and regula-
lator burned.
Word reached William Harrington Of
the field force about Liz o'clock and
he and some OF the hands went i'm
mediately to the scene to ascertain
the trouble and to make repairs
When he found out what the trouble
was he summoned more help and
went to work in earnest to get :the
system In operation again
The break in the line had been re-
paired and temporary connection
made, but at that point some gas was
esc.ping but not OF suricient quantity

They noticed tracks leading TO and
from the fire as II two men bad been
there and set IL afire. Their suspic-
ions were aroused and the company's
officials are inclined to believe that 1t
was set afire but fail to understand
why any one should be so malicious.
Their suspicious are strengthened by
the fact that the street light at the
Bacchus bakery 1000 feet distant was
the nearest light and had 1t caught
from that an explosion suf,icient TO
tear up all the country in that section
would have ensued. This, however,
was not the case.
The break was repaired by IL o'clock
but not until there had been consider
able inconvenience. 1t was repaired,
however, with all dispatch possible.
The company received Christmas
afternoon 800 pounds OF steel and iron
by express from Pittsburg, consisting
of new reducing valve and appliances
and in day or so a permanent con-
nection to the well win be completed.

WATER To BURN.

The present century promises to be
one OF the most important in history,
when the wonderful inventions nov i'll
view are considered, Among these
mus. be placed IN invention 81 Il de-
vice whereby water may be used Ms fuel.
To burn water sounds like a paradox.
But that. it is claimed, is now heirg
done by MIR. John A.. Montgomery, Of
Wialliamsport. now IS years old. Ac.
cording to n special dispatch to the New
York World. it has taken the inventor
thirty-ive wears To perfect his device.
In 1863, we are told. while studying
chemistry, he learned .hat perfect heat
is derived from the combustion Of one
part OF oxygen with two parts OF by
drogen. Then he recalled that water
is composed principally of Those two
elements i'll the above preparation.
-Why. then. should water not burn: he
asked himself. Ever since he has been
trying to construct a simple and prac.
teal apparatus that would cou,lense the
latent heat contained in water and
make 1t percepible, and now he says
he has succeeded. While flowing
through the pipe that serves rs a feeder
the water becomes separated and con.
densed into gases, which, coming to-
gether at a right angle, form IL combus-
ton which is continuous aud unvarying.
\ friend Of the inventor describes the
new centrivance ~ tullows: In the
room was a single heating stove. There
was no tire i'll it, but instead a metal
tLbe curled out from under the CRATE
and protruded Us high as the stove,
terminating i'll IA funnel. Drawing IL
pdilful OF water from the kitchen ny
drant. the inventor began to pour it 10y
the dipperful into the funnel \ white
blaze shot up from the CRATE, producing
intense heat. The water burned per-
fectly.' Mr.. Montgomery adds:
This is what may be done in any
stove, when my invention is patented"
There can then, be no cause for anxiety
on account Of any future shortage of
fuel IN the earth. There will he light
and heat as long as there is water.

ruE IRnrGArIoS BILL.

The following from the pen OF All
Chartz throws considerable light upon
the irrigation bill. now pending IN the
Legislature:
The legislature has been thrown into
a sort OF spasm over Il bill intended To
aid and assist the general government to
carry out the provisions OF the so-called
Newlands Irrigation Bill. As the mem
bers begin to recover from this condition
their first inquiry will probably be to
what extent will vested water rights be
conserved or affected by tie proposed
measure to give the control over their
property to officers OF the general gov
ernmeut? Under the present order Of
things, the farmers know that they can

amount Of water as ma have been de-
creed to them by order OF court, after
years Of costly litig ton, il they require
that much. aud they can 10 that with

They further know that they can turn,
within their vested rights, as mnch as
they deem they require for the proper and
and speedy irrigation of the lands, and

tain their rights under the new law, or

favor Of the bill it Is urged that the far
mers must be patriotic and meet the
government halfway, and help to make
the deserts blossom as the rose, and that
very little can be accomplished by the
general government without such legis-
lation on the part of the States. II
might be answe red that water is prop
erty, worth money. The farmers are
the owners thereof. Why does not the
