Pittsburgh Industries Receive a Body Blow.
THEY MUST RESUME THE USE OF COAL.
The Gas Company Announces That Herealter TheyEill Furnish Gas to Private Consumers Only —
Their Reasons * * *
THE MOVE A SUDDEN ONE. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 25. — An annonncoinont that will ho made this morning by the directors of the Philadelphia Gas Company will create a sonBatiou iu tho iron and steel world hero, such as has not been experienced since the discovery of natural gas. At a mooting of tho ollicors of tho company Friday afternoon i» #as decided that hereafter no puddling furnaces In tho city or vicinity should receive natural gas as fuel. No date was mentioned, bat it is said the order will take effect very noon.
There are 1,000 puddling furnaces In this olty, and oror one-half of thorn will bo shut off as tho result of tho order, This wlli necessitate an enormous expense in tho changing of tho construction of tho furnaces so that coal can bo used. In addition to this there will bo a hoavy added cost, owing to tho higher prion of coal, as most of the furnaces had contracts with tho company for gas at prices marvelously low. llosides, it is feared thitt something in prostlgo will bo lost by this suddon and awkward move, an Pittsburgh has long boeu known as the hoad and center ol the greatest natural gas bolt in tho world. Tho manufacturers prefer tliis as fuel abovo all others owing to Its intense heat It is peculiarly adapted to the use of puddling furnaces, and this has givon Pittsburgh an imuionse stride forward in tho iron and stool business.
At tho otlioo of tho company, howaver, it was stated that the movo was not made on account of the scarcity of gas, but because tho gas could be usod to greater advantage in prlvato housoS, as the price paid thoro is many times greater for the same amount of gaB than when used in the furnaces, as in tho latter it has been found impossible to place meters of anv description, and, as a result, there is an enormous waste.
The Philadelphia (las Company at present furnishes natural gas to 750 different manufacturing establishments, including furnace.-. glass factories, etc. also to -Jl.OiiO houses as per the secretary's report January 1. JSS'.t. This number has grov.n immensely since that time, as the company has been steadily extending its lines, but even at thoso figures the daily consumption was 500, 000,000 cubic fuel per d\v. This is equal to 25,001) tons of eoal per day. Tho consumption now is far greater, as tho company claims it ha 11:010 gas than evor, but that tho demand from that valuable source of income, tho private residences, is also Kir greater.
Tho company also decided to go into tho illuminating gas business. This will he done on a scale never beforo at tempted here, as the Philadelphia company has a capital of Si5,000,000, with George Westinghouse at its head, and will push into this new industry at once.
These two cases combined, the shutting oil of gas from the furnaces espec ially, will give an almost incredible impetus to the coal business of this vioinltT, which has lain dormant since tho llnding of natural gas. Many mines have been abandoned, others are working on but half time, and altogether the trade has been in a bad w:\y. Tho new move, however, Will stimulato operations at once, and tho only fear is a scarcity of miners, as tho poor prospects have driven so many oway that even now men can not he scoured to work what mines are running.

An Iowa Judge Instructs a Grand Jury — An Important Liquor-Law Decision. BLOOMPIELD, la., Oct 25. — In his instructions to the grand jury Friday Judge Leggett said that under the deolsion of tho United States Supreme Court it was not a orime to soil liquors' Imported from another State In tho original paokages until tho Wilson bill was passed by Congress and became a law, but that after that time it was a violation of the laws of this State to sell any liquor without a proper permit, whether imported and in tho original package or not lie declares that the action of tho inferior United States courts in other States on this subject was not binding on tho courts of this State, and that until the question is finally settled by tho higher courts it is tbo duty of the grand jury to consider the law valid and to onforce it against all violators, whether by originalpaokage sales or otherwise that if tho urors had cases before them of sales before the Wilson bill became a law they should follow tho latost decision of the Supreme Court of this State in deciding what constituted an original package that bottles of liquor imported from another State, if sold in tho bottles as received, were original packages as declared by tho court and would not render the sellor liable to tho law before tho passage of tho Wilson bill.

THE "RIPPER" AT WORK.
Another Brutal and Mysterious Murder In London — The Victim an Abandoned Woman.
LONDON, Oct 25. — The "Jack the Ripper" scare has again caused a sensation among the police and the residents of the South Hampstead locality. Friday night in a secluded part of the neighborhood passors-by were shocked by finding in an obscure alley the dead body of a woman whose head had been nearly severed, while her body showed evidences of kicks and bruises in themselves sufficient to cause death. While up to the present time no knowledge has been obtained as to who the victim was, it seems evident that she was a woman of low repute, and this was sufficient to start the cry that "Jack tho Ripper" had been at work again. The police actively began operations in a search for the murderer, but thus far no arrests have been made. * * *

In Their Second Century.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct 25. — "Aunty Baldy" is tho name by which the oldest lady in Terra Haute is familiarly known. She celebrated her 101st birthday anniversary Friday at the Old Ladies' Home. Neither kith nor kin has the pleasant little body to enjoy tho day with her, but hosts of friends called to congratulate her. On Octobor 24, 1789, at Saratoga, N. Y., wes born a child named Ann Pixbury. She was the only daughter of a family of seven children, and her parents were of the humble farm folk of that section. Twenty-four years later Ann was married to John Baldy, and in 1819 she and her husband emigrated to Indiana. They settled in Terro Haute just three years after the place was founded. Those were days of flatboating, and a short time after they came here the husband loaded a flatboat with merchandise for trading, bid his wife good-bye and started to float down the Wabash. He expected to float down to the Ohio, thence by the Mississippi rivor to New Orleans. He never returned, and the gallant little wife has heard not one word of his fate from that day to this.
Whether he was drowned or murdered by Indians will never be known. Since that time the widow has made Terre Haute her home. Up to a few years ago she read the daily papers and told incidents of her past life to friends, and did her own housework. Time has borne heavily upon her recently, and her faculties have been very much impaired.
John Dawson will celebrate his 102d birthday anniversary November 15. Dawson is a pioneer in this city and State. He was born in Stafford County, Va., and was but 10 years old when the death of Washington occurred. The universal sorrow and regret throughout the country reached even his rural home in Virginia, and he remembers it well, he enlisted in the war of 1812, and at its close removed to Indiana. The man is hale and hearty for one of his years and has an inexhaustible fund of stories of his youth. Dawson's youngest, child is 65 years of age. The centenarian is a large man, although spare, and one can not but wonder what a magnificent specimen of humanity he must have been when in his prime.
