The report of the geological survey
shows the remarkable growth in the

ted States, the output having risen
from s2l5.OOO in 1859 to s54.64O 600 in
1908. or 25l times the value 2s years
ago, This is a tremendous increase.
But the question will be suggested TO
many minds whether such enormous
consumption of natural gas will not
soon exhaust the supply. In fact. in
one or two localities there have been
complaints that during Che cold waves

DEALS DEATH ON TRAIN
INTERcEDEs - GETS A
BULLET THROUGH HEART.

Wilmington, Dcl.-An exciting battle
In which three men were killed, occurred
on q Baltimore a Ohio railroad train this
afternoon. The fight began at Newark.
Del, and ended in this city. Several
persons were wounded in the ARRAY.
The triple tragedy was the result Of
an alteration between Bethea, who was
. passenger, aud Williams, the porter in
the Pullman parlor car
Bethea Shoots Porter.
Bethea, who had been drinking heav-
ly, shot the porter through the heart,
killing him instantly. When Conductor
wellman saw the porter fall he ran to
the scene TO demonstrate with the pas
senger, who still held the revolver In
his hand. Bethea fired second shot
into the Negroes body. Then without
word Bethea shot wellman through the
heart.
The conductor fell dead in his tracks.
Before the passengers could interfere the
iouble murderer barricaded himself in
the toilet room Of the Pullman car and
threatened TO kill the first person who
approached. Meanwhile the train reach
ed Wilmington. When IL came into the
station hurry call was sent TO the po-
lice station. A squad OF patrolmen, re-
inforced by park guards and posse OF
citizens and trainmen, ran TO the scene.
Opens Fire on Police.
The police called upon Bethea 10 sur
render. As an answer he opened the
door of the toilet room and opened FIRE
at the police and the crowd from an su-
tomato pistol.
Bethea is believed TO have had az least
100 rounds Of ammunition, for he sue
ceeded in holding the posse at bay and
also held up the train from 5;i7 until
6.35. During this time many shots were
fred on both sides, until finally all the
windows of the car were riddled.
When the battle had lasted about an
hour. the police realized they would be
unable to drive the man from cover. A
call was sent to a local fire company.
The firemen responded with their engine.
Attaching a high pressure hose to q fire
plug, and with the fremen earricaded
behind trucks and boards, a stream OF
water was played upon the windows OF
the toilet room.
The desperate fired number Of shots
at the firemen, but they were not in
tred. Subsequently, Bethea. drenched
with water, staggered to the platform
and the police once more called upon him
to surrender. His reply was several shots
in quick order from his revolver.

again, but Sergeant Kelcher sent in a
shot and he fell dead.

passengers who fed when The train
reached Wilmington that the desperate
was insane, other passengers said he APP
