ship last summer to cut hay and are
said to have had trouble over their
transactions. The Pinkerton detective
represented himself as administrator
of Doyle IS estate and asked Pingel
whether he had any claims.
Pingel presented receipt for 1925,
and Doyle IS share in the hay deal. He
said the money was sent as a money
order to Doyle by relatives in Della
ware.
The New Auburn postmaster denies
having received such an order.
Pingel is said to have been seen be-
tween 8 and o'clock going in the di-
rection Of Doyle's home with a shot
gun.
There is much speculation whether the
authorities will connect Pingel with the
mysterious murder Of Doyle.

LIGHTNING BY ELECTRICITY.
Gas No Longer Ranks as the Most
General uluminant H. This
Country.

The public is accustomed to
think, says the Electrical World
and Engineer, of gas as still the
leading illuminant, but while this
is probably true in EUROPE. i'm the
United States the scepter of light
has definitely passed to electric
ity. The figures just issued by
our census Office are, indeed, start
ling. Gas had nearly 20 years.
start over its competitor, but it
now appears to be decidedly in
second place. Yet there is no de-
nying the fact that the introduce
ton of the brilliant electric light
has stimulated the 5 of gas.
There are now close upon 1000
electric light central stations in
America, but by the census of 1900
there were only 877 gas plants, and
the number was not growing per.
ceptibly. The gas plants were
earning an income of $75,000,0OO.
Last year the central stations
earned $S5, OOO, 900. The cost of con.
structiOn and equipment of both
was over $500, OO0, 900. Gas en-
plOyed 22,400 men and electric
light 23,3OO.
But this is only half the story.
1t is estimated that there are over
$4,000 isolated electric light
plants in this country, and that
they represent as many lamps as
do the central stations. New York
city has 1000 of them and some
like that in the Waldorf-Astoria,
would run many an ambitious
western city. Hence the figures
against gas are doubled in many
respects. The 10000, 900 incan.
descent lamps burning nightly be.
come 100000, 000. The 100000 are
lamps-Shelley's "insistent sis
tiers of the day"-becOme 800 1000.
Were it not for the universal use
of the gas stove and the prevs'
lence of the gas engine one mar
wells what would have become Of
the illuminant of our fathers.
Such is the pace at which we
live to-day that, while millions Of
people in this country have not yet
got up to the stage of "civiliza'
ton" represented by the use Of
gas, but when they encounter II
casually employ it suicidally, 9th.
err millions have outgrown and
discarded it and will have none OF
it, even for a curling iron or o
chatting dish, let alone for lighting.
To put it briefly the use of cleo
tricity for lighting in New York
state alone has increased over
1000 per cent. in ten years, and
the use of electricity for power
also from central stations, has in.
creased in the decade nearly 1,2OC
per cent. And yet electricians are
inclined to think they have only
just started in.

The eX-senator and Chair man Gourley of the state committed have been credited all along with hay ing purpOsed to commit the New Jer. sey delegation to the national conven. ton to Mir. Cleveland as the candidate for president. but it was said that MT. Cleveland has resolutely set his face against the use of his name in that connection.
 The story of the lobby is that Mir. Smith came to Trenton with assur- ances that Mir. Cleveland would ac- cept the noplination for the governor ship if it were rendered to him.
 Members of the two houses with whom Senator Smith conferred refus- ed to say what the purpose of his visit was, but winked significantly when asked whether it had reference to MT. Clevcland's nomination for the gov mouth that the senator is ready to put MT. Cleveland before the state con- vention.
