NATURAL Gas SUPPLY
Ii Nearly Gave Out at One Ohio
Town.

Conneaut, O., Dec. S.-Nearly all Of the
public service corporations in this city
are temporarily crippled as a result of the
storm and recent bad weather. The sup
ply of natural gas furnished from the
wells at Jefferson came very nearly giving
out today, and no small amount of incon-
venience was caused TO those depending
upon the gas for heating their homes and
business places on account of insufficient
coupling.
There is break at the iuncture of the
Conneaut Water company's new and old
intake pipes and as a great deal of re-
fuse matter is being admitted it is diff
cult for the pumps to work. The pressure
Is failing slowly, but it is hoped that the
trouble viii not be serious.
On account of the stormy weather the
Conneaut & Erie Traction company has
been unable To get any cars to this city
from the east since Thursday of last
week and service on the city line has
also been slightly handicapped.

| court last Friday At that time the
| jury was selected and sworn in. To ac-
commodate the attorneys in the case the
| taking of testimony was postponed until
yesterday morning. Owing to the pub
licity given the suit, and the fact that it
promised TO be Interesting there was
, large crowd in Judge Dissette's room
when court opened yesterday morning
aside from the attorneys, principals, and
witnesses. Judge Dissette, approaching
the situation, ordered the room cleared
of all who had no direct interest in the
case. Mere spectators were not allowed.
The crowd was disappointed. When the
bailiff attempted to enforce the order
some remained but they were soon con-
WINGED that the court was in earnest.
Mrs. Wolverton, divorced a few years
ago, appeared first. She was neatly
dressed, and has an abundance of brown
hair and large, brown eyes. She was
accompanied by her attorney. Vernon II.
Burke, and few friends, who testified in
her behalf.
A few minutes later Mr.. Baldwin, ac-
companied by Attorneys S. H. Holding
and ". II. Boyd. appeared. Mr.. Baldwin
is a distinguished looking man. with sill
very hair. nose glasses, gray mustache,
and looks prosperous He is the owner
Of considerable city property, which sup
plies him an ample income. He is a club
man, and has bachelor quarters at No.
296 North Perry street.
The attorneys stated their respective
sides of the case. one claiming actual
breach of promise after an honorable
courtship and the other intimating an
idle filtration, which began before Mrs
Wolverton was divorced.
Several Cleveland women. who knew
both, and met them, frequently. testified
that it was generally supposed they were
to be married. Mrs John Mills a Chicago
widow, who was once upon the stage.
and left this city ten years ago, told of
the number of things that were said and.
done that indicated that their marriage
was but matter Of short time
When Mrs, Wolverton took the stand
she told of the first meeting, their later
friendship, Mr. Baldwin's promise of mar
riage, July II, 1896, the disco rery of an
other woman in the case, his trip west.
