Gas From Petroleum.

United States Consul Britain, at Kehl
Germany, in a report to this government
says that at an exhibit at the recent meet
ing of the Society of German Plumbers con-
siderable attention was attracted to an in
vention of Chemist Blau of Augsburg for
the manufacture of fluid gas from the re-
siduum of petroleum and heavy mineral
oils. The inventor says this gas may be
manufactured very cheaply where there is
an abundance of petroleum, and that It
may be transported from one place to an
other in cylinders as easily as carbonic acid
gas. The gas may be used for lighting
churches, halls and detached buildings, and
small tanks may be used in lighting auto
mobiles The Blau gas makes very brill
liant light for street lighting and is very
difficult to explode.

SENSATION AT MONTGOMERY.
Dead Robber Proves to Have Been q
Society Man.

A dispatch from Montgomery, Ala, last
night says: Overtaken in a twfnkling by
an awful fate, which surprised him under
conditions in which he would doubtless
have welcomed death rather than discov-
cry, the body of James H. Hendricks.
member of one of the oldest families in
Alabama and a leader In the younger So
cial set, was found on the veranda roof OF
the American National Bank building at
daybreak.
Near the body, which was clothed In the
uniform of the Montgomery Grays, the
crack local militia company, of which Hen
bricks was q member was a complete SET
of burglars tools. Directly under the limp
hand which hung over the roof was a pair
of pliers such as are used in cutting wire.
1t was apparent that death had come
upon Hendricks while he was In the act
of severing the feed wire leading to the
electric arc light which illuminated the
safe in the main Office of the bank That
Hendricks should have been caught In such
hensfbIe, in view of the fact that he was
recently graduated from the Polytechnic
Institute in Atlanta, where he learned
much of the principles of electricity. The
instant he affixed the pliers to the live wire
he was electrocuted. current of $500
voltage shot through his body.
In this city and throughout the state
where the Hendricks family is best known
news of the young mans death and the
manner of it came with astounding force.
Intimate friends and relatives were COM
pletely overwhelmed. The police are max
ing a rigorous investigation in the belief
that more than Hendricks are concerned
In the tragedy. He was twenty-five years
old.
The supposition is that Hendricks was
accompanied by a confederate He was
seen yesterday in company with a strange
man who had been spotted" during the
day by Chief of Police Gerald. This man
is believed to have been an expert cracks
man who in some way had won the con-
fidence of Hendricks.
Entrance was to be gained through the
rear of the building, but 1t was necessary
to extinguish the arc light In order to
darken the Office where the safe was stu
ated. It is believed Hendricks climbed to
the roof of the veranda to accomplish this
difficult task. There he met his death.

tempted Robbery.

A dispatch from Cody. Wyoming. last
night says: An attempt to rob the Fist
National Bank at $50 O'Clock this after
neon resulted in the death of the cashier,
I. o. Middaugh.
Two armed men who have been hanging
around town some months rode to the bank
and entered the front door. They were not
masked or disguised in any way. When
they ordered the cashier and his assistant
to throw up their hands the plucky officials
fired on them so hotly that the robbers
left the bank without securing any money.
Cashier Middaugh followed them to the
street and emptied his six-shooter at them,
wbereupon the smaller of the two men shot
Middaugh in the breast, killing him in
startly.
In the meantime the town became aroused
and shots were fired at the robbers from
every direction. They returned the fire,
