We print elsewhere the icsult of tho
Town election held Tuesday. There was
but little Interest manifested. Tho chief
contest was that of members of council
and tax collector. By referring to the
table it will be noticed that the democratic
ticket received tho smallest vote ; this was
because of an error in printing tho tickets !
they should have read two votes each
thus cvcrytlmc an elector cast a ballot it
would have counted two for the member
Instead of one. Only one hundred of these
tickets were printed at this ofllec, ami they
were a special order to be printed like copy
given, and the copy was. that of a ticket
prlutcd at another olllco where the tickets
were printed lor tiic uelealeu canuiuaies.
A bill was i'Uroduceu in the Penusyl-

General Committee Mr. Fritz suggested
that the bill bo so amended as to allow any
near relatlvo or friend of the contracting
parties to appear before tho Clerk of the
Orphans Court, or any Justice of the Peace
and make application for license, Parties
living a lone distance from the county scat
can, If the proposed bill becomes a law,
cither by themselves, or through a near
relative or friend, make application to a
Justice of peace, who will forward the
necessary papers to tho Clerk of the ;Jr.
plans Court. The licenso can then be
made out by tho Clerk nnd forwarded by
mail to the said Justice.

at tho cniiBO of the fright and then checked
up tho team, but not until ho had come in
contact wllh a steam pipe, crossing ue.
tiveen tho two buildings. Ho was caught
by this pipe aud squeezed between it and
the wagon seat so forcibly as to break ono

iu that way for saw-dust for his Ice but
never used tho high wagon before he
usually went with aisled.

When trains on tho Pennsylvania r illrond
pass tho llttlo hamlet known ns Urapcvllle,
thirty miles cast of Pittsburg, passengers,
unless they havo been over the road beforo
within n year, Invariably look around for
tho causa of n noise, not unllko tho sound
of escaping steam, that nrlscs apparently
from tho sldo.of the track, nnd, for n few
seconds, drowns tho din of tho fastest
trains. Tho strange sound enmo suddenly
In tho night almost n year agu,and U shows
no .sign of diminishing yet. It has tnndo
life In its Immedlato vicinity uncuduinblc,
but less than one-third of Its power sup
plies tho heat In manufactories forty miles
llstant that support a population of 10,000.
It has proven 11 gold mine to Its owners,
and n revelation of unknown power lo
thousand!. It Is n natural-gas will and the
most famous In the world.
Tho well Is tho property of tho West.
moreland and Cambria Natural Gns Co. It
s neatly 2,600 feet deep, and tho pressure
at Its mouth Is 7S0 pounds to the square
Inch. When the well was "drilled In," and
until the gas was controlled, It came out
of tho ground In n solid column, appar
ently, and with a roar that soon compelled
persons living In tho neighborhood to re
move to other quarters. As it comes from
tho well the gas Is so dunso that It can bo
seen. It has tho appearance of blue smoke.
Six feet from tho mouth of tho well tho
color Is almost white. At that height also
the column closes firm nnd the pas spreads,
but in the shape of an umbiella turned In
side out, and Is lost to tho eye. Tho pro
duct of this well Is from 10,000,000 to
20,000,000 cubic feet dally. For a tlmo nf-
ter the well "came In" Its owners did not
know what to do with It. Every nttempt
to control It for 11 long time was futile.
Plugs that weighed many tons wero blown
out of Its mouth ns If they wero pieces of
paper. Finally an Ingenious nppliance for
div'ding the pressure was Invented, and
the trouble was over.
At an expense of 81,000,000 the West.
moreland bnd Cambtla Gas company con
structcd a lino of pipe connecting tho well
with tho busy llttlo city of Johnstow,',
whero aro tho works of the Cambria Iron
company,tho most extensive combined Iron
and steel plant 111 tho United S'ates. The
pipe Is ten Inches In dlamct er for a dis
tance of 18 miles from the well; then there
Is 10 miles or 12-lnch pipe, 8 miles of 10
Inch and 4 miles or 24-tnch. Only a little
over oncthlrd of the uas produced by tho
well is turned Into this line, but the volume
of gas that reaches Johnstown Is more
thnn sufficient to furnish fuel, not only for
every department of the Cambria Iron
company's mills, but for every other manu
factory and private residence along the
pipe line.
The experiment of tho managers of tho
Id'cwild Cninpmectlng Grounds, about
mldwny between the well and Johnstown,
wilt illustrate in some degree the force of
the pressure of 280 pounds of gas. An
Inch plpo wns connected with tho main
line 1000 feet from tho entrance to the
ground. At the gate the size of tho pipe
was reduced to Mine fourths of an Inch.
From this pipe branches ot halMnch wero
carried In all directions, and nt a hundred
places through the grove were run Into the
air fifteen feet, the purpose being to secure
a good illumination for eight meetings. A
turn of a quarter of an Inch to the valve
which allowed the gas to enter the distrib
uting pipes from the luch main wns suffic
ient to cause the flame to shoot five feet
In the air from each of the hundred Btand
pipes, ns the branches intended for lllu
mluatlon are c dled. One evening while
religious services weic in progress the
valve broke and Ilia full pressure of gas
was turned into the s mn'ler pipes. Its
force blew out the Haines instantly and
from each of tho hundred pipes which but
a moment bjfore bad spread a mellow light
over the worshippers there came a sound
that resembled the shrill notes nf a factory
whistle more than anything else. Nothing
could be done before morning. The cot
tagers were afraid to light candles or lamps,
because, for all they knew, their houses
were filled with the gas and a speck of fire
might cause an explosion; they could not
talk to each other without shouting them
selves hoarse; could not sleep for the In.
fcrna! noise on every side, and, on the
whole, the nlulit was most miserable.
What the Introduction of gas has done
for Pittsburg cau hardly be stated Iu words.
In addition to hnvlng furnishul constant
employment for from 0,000 to 8,000 men at
the wo-k of pipe-laying during thu last two
years, it has kept eleven iron mills, em
ploying 7,000 m'.-n, nt work night and day
In the manufacture of pipes. The aggre
gate product of thesu mills during 1880 was
240,000 tons. Taking the average size of
the pipo manuf.ictiifed to be six Inches In
diameter, weighing twenty-eight' pouuds to
the foot, If tho product of these mills was
put together it would make a lino of pipe
3.000 miles loug. With these mills making
nothing but pipe-Iron, with tho quality of
tho product of all improved by the use of
gas for fuel instead of coal, and with the
cost of production greatly decreased, Iron
and steel manufacturers do not like to tell
exactly how much they have been bene-
filed. They aduilt, however, that tho total
output of the mills ot the district during
1880 was from 25 to 40 per cent, greater
thau during tho year 18S5, and that the
prospect for the present year Is equally
good. It Is an open sccict, too, that the
price of bar Iron was not advanced at tho
inciting of the Western Iron Association
in that city last week, because, with nat
ural gns as fuel, there is more profit In Iron
mado In that district at two cents a pound
than manufacturers in tho East can mane
selling nt two and cue-tenth cents a pound.
It may be said: "A pretty picture ; but
will this natural gas last?" That is a ques
tion that geologists and experts of every
description confess they cannot answer.
Tho men who have Invested if 14,000,000 In
the business of supplying natural gas In
Pittsburg and tho men who havo Invested
an equal sum In Nortwestcrn Pennsylvania
and tho men who during this year will In
orcaso tho total sum Invested In tbese
districts to probably $40,000,000, believe
the new fuel has come to stay. It Is true,
as has been widely heralded, that some
wells In tho Tarentuin aud other fields have
given out. But It Is a so true, and this
fact has for some reason not been so wide
ly published, that In every case tho failure
of a well has been found to bo due to somo
causo purely mechanical. It Is also true
and this Is another phenomenon that
staggers expert" that in the Westmoreland
and Washington county fields wells nrn
constantly growing stronger. Gauges tak
en last week showed that two wells In tho
Washington Held that showed a pressuro of
125 pounds a month ago now havo a press.
uro ot 250 pounds. New territory Is also
being discovered. The most Important
strike this year was at Lattobe, on tho
Pennsylvania Hallroad. Latrobe Is eleven
miles further east than the derricks aud
drillers matched last year. Slnco tho 1st
of January two big wells haio been struck
thcro and It Is believed that tho Lutrobo
Held will bo as rich ns any yet discovered.
' Even If tho supply of natural gas should
give nut," said ouo of the gentlemen, who
has at least $1,000,000 at stuke, "Western
Pennsylvania will never return to the use
of coal for fuel, I believe natural gas will
last for ages, but u substitute Is at band to
.bo utilized It tho necessity should ever
arise. 1 rclor to Iho gal from the 10,000
coke ovens In thcConnellsvlllo coke region.
Hundreds ot millions of feet ol gni am put
out dally from ibeso ovens. It costs notlw
lug, because the coko yields n good profit
on tho coal consumed, nicro never nns
been any question about tho practicability
of transporting tho coke-oven gas to Pitts,
burg and further If necessary. Tho chief
reason why this gas was not utilized for
fuel beforo tho valuo of natural gns was
known was that coal has nlways been chenp
nt Pittsburg, and tho plant for Iho distribu
tion of coke-oven gas would. have Involved
nn outlay otmllllons. Now the pipes aro
in tho ground, nnd 111 addition to the ml
vaninge In price, wo know how vastly
Biiperiur gas Is to coal ns ft fuel."

By the ground-hog rule,
Winter's back is broken. Before
the grass comes there'll be
thoughts of a carriage for baby.
Most of the newness this year
is in the body. If the upholstery
doesn't suit go up stairs, choose
what of silk or satin you like
and we'll fix it as you wish. So
of the bodies and running gears.
Pick those wheels, these springs
and that body, if you will ; we'll
put them together build your
carriage to your mind in fact.
You'll see all our cushions are
tied in. Take them out and lay
a pillow on the all-over carpet
ed bottom if vou care to. Can't
often get a carriage built that
way. Losts more to us but not
to you. Special coaches, up
holstered in satin and plush,
trimmed with good quality of
ribbon and fitted witn satin par
asols, $14-50, $16.50 and $18
each.
A good coach, $6. Wicker
body, strong and neat ; service
able rnnning-gears, comfortably
upholstered, some fancy work
and $6. That's the lowest.
Price climbs then to wherever
you say ; some first babies take
the price pretty high.
Nainsook Embroideries. Pret
ty little trifles unless you try to
fdilow the ins and outs, the ups
and downs, the twirls and curls
of the design. Pretty still but
not so simple. You begin to
wonder how it can all be and
but o to 30 cents a yard. In-
sertings to match.
Not much of a dress hat. vou
think, for Wronir. Perhaps
a trick of curl lacking in the
brim, mav be not nuite so fine.
but how can most of you tell it
from one for r ust as limit,
iust about as eood to wear. If
you pay the other $1 you pay it
mostly for style. Plenty, are
glad to; plenty more are glad
not to. For them the $4 silk

harder than ever to tell that it
isn't one of the finest.

Printed India Silk. The
simplest and plainest of hand
woven silks; always better than
it looks. You like it when old
and familiar ; you'll like it better
in the new and pretty designs.
Like stepping into a flower gar
den to pass near some of them.
And very modest figures also
Light and dark ground, 24 in.,

Bead trimmings will be the,
fashion. We've never before
had so much in bead things to
make a lady wild; never so much
in the grass mixtures, or in any
of the other somethings and
nothings that give the last
touches of loveliness and tone
to a costume. New things till
you tire of counting ; strange
things till you weary-wonder
what next.
There's a whisper that the
braid trimmings in Vandyke de
signs (all the pointed braid pat
terns are "Vandykes") will have
a run this season. They de
serve it. Hard to make a
worsted dress look so dashing
in any other way.
A taking newness is the grass

heading to match. All the grace
ol the "grass ' (made in a loom
as very narrow tape and given

Tho suit of Joseph Hess' executor against
Frank Hess brought a largo number ot
persons to town ns witnesses last week, and
occupied three days of the court. It was
n suit brou nh t to recover land In Jackson
occupied by tho defendant, aud his defense
wns that the land was given to him by his
father, whose representatives sought to
eject him from It by this suit. After hear
ing the testimony and thu. argument of
counsel, Judgo Green directed the Jury to
render u verdict for tho plaintiff, with six
cents costs, and six cents damages, on tho
ground that the parol evidence was not
sutllclent to establish a tltlo In tho defend
ant. In this case It Is n great hardship for
Frank Hess, who has put considerable
money Into tho property, supposing It was
his. but the rule of law that n contract for
the sale of land must be in writing, Is In
flexible. The moral Is that when one be
comes possessed of land, cither by gift or
purchase, he should be sura that his title Is
all right before he puts improvements on It.

thousands of cars havo been loaded a ith

runs to the Delaware river at Easton, from
which place "Y's" will go in the direction
of New York and Philadelphia. There
