The Wollsburg Herald of last week says:
Gas from Washington county was turned
in the manufacturing mains oHhe Daliell
Bros. A Gllmoreand tho Venture glass
factories Saturday, and In the Wollsburg
company's pipes tor prlvato families
Thursday, Tho abundant supply of gas
In addition to that from tho Wollsburg
wells, greatly exceeds tho demand. The
manufactories now using gas are the Illy
erslde, ll??el, Vonture and Dalzell Bros.
A Gllmore glass factories, and the 0.
George paper mill and sack factory. Tho
now prescription bottle home will use It,
as will also probably the Harvey Co. pa

is placed at 480.

The Natural Gas Company of Wost Vlr-1
glnla on Haturday last chartered a train
from the Baltlmoro' A Ohio llallroad Com
pany to tako a force of workmen, number
ing over one hundred, to West Alexander,
where they are completing tho connecting
link between their wells and tlili oily.
Tho company was unable to secute suit
able accommodations for so large a force
of workmen at that point, and have com
pleted arrangements with the railroad
company to dally transport the men under
Contractor Healey's employ, to and from
the city until their line is completed. The
Held men of the company hare boon de
layed lu their worlc by reuou ol the ina
bility of the pipe mills to furnish a sutti
dent amount ol pipe to meet their dally
requirement*, and it was not until Satur
day last that Ur. Keriln, a foreman
of the company, had au opportunity
to show what could be accom
plished by an experienced pipe-layer
under frvorablo circumstances, when he
layed over one-half a mile ol twelve inch
converse joint pipe in the short apace of
six hoars.
When it is known that Saturday's
work consisted in laying 105 joints
of pipe, each weighing between seven and
eight hundred pounds, in|a ditch four feet
deep, and that each joint was carofullv
run with fifteen pounds of molten lead,
ono can form an Idea of its magnitude?
and the ellort the Natural Qas Company
of West Virginia is making to supply the
people of W heeling with a cheap fuel as
early as possible. The company and the
employes desevre to he congratulated for
the energy they have displayed in laying
their lines, now so near completion.
On Saturday, Thomas Gushing made a
wager of a suit of clothes that hia men
would lay 1150 joints of 12-inch converse
pipe within ten hours and at the rate they
worked would have accomplished it had
the pipe haulers been able to keep pace
with his lightning-like work.
The oilicials of the company at this point
have been busily engaged for two weeks
past closing contracts with manufacturers
and private Individuals who propose tak
ing gas from the compauy's mains. The
number that have been made up to date
fully realises expectations aud the princi
pals In the company feel very much en
couraged. Au the people read and learn
more ami more about this wonderful fuel
they begin to understand that the danger
arising from its use is no greater than
that when coal is used lu the
grate. Kealitlog this, and making a com
parison of the very low rates adopted for
this city witli those paid by natural gas
consumers elaewbere, and maklug a
further comparison of the cost of gas with
that of coal, taking into consideration the
smoke, soot and ashes of the latter, it does
not take one long to make up his mind to
use gas. The number of contracts mule
and that are being made, has caused a
boom lor the plumbers who are having a
largo run of work in consequence. Those
contemplating the use of natural gas will
be furnished all desired information by
calling at the compauy's uflice on Twelfth
street.

Saturday's demonstration of1 organized
labor tinder the auspices ol the Ohio Val
ley Trades and Labor Assembly was the
most imposing display ol the kind,' 11 not
o( any kind, over witnessed (n the city.
Over 3,000 men were in line, ami tbey
stuck pretty well over the long line of
marcb, notwithstanding the dust and the
burning sun. After the procession had
formed at tho south end o( the Fifth ward
market bouse, and been on the marcb for
some time, an actual count showed that
there were still In line nearly 3,000 men.
The trades represented, embraced almost
every industry in this city and vicinity;
the ranks of the various lodges were gen
erall very full, the marching of the mem
bers was excelleut, the order almost per
fect, and the enthusiasm of the men and
spectators all that the most ardent could
wish.
The Interest taken In the affair by the
public was noticeable. Alt along the line
of march private residences and places of
business were gaily decorated with Hags,
bunting, evorgreen, and appropriate mot
toes, while the sidewalks and oiteo the
Btreets, were so crowded that it was with
difficulty ths platoon of police which
headed the column could clear a sufficient
space to admit ol the Ireo marching of the
line. The display was witnessed all along
the route with admiration and frequently
with enthusiasm. Tho following shows

The afternoon was dsvoted to a picnic
on the Htate Fair Grounds. The largest
crowd ever teen there at a picnic, by all
odds, attended. From reliable data it is
estimated that fully 12,000 people were on
the grounds at ono time or another. The
principal thing In the way of amusements
was the same of base ball betweon the
Bteubenvllle and Wheeling nines for a
purse of |2fi. The visitors won by a score
of ten to nine. The horse race was amuse*
ins, the entries being all local steeds. It

As the Mingo mill workers passed the
residence of Mr. Hjrnaal Laughlin, Presi
dent ol that concern, in the procession,
they slopped and tendered Mr. Laughlin
a serenade, the Toronto band rendering
some nice music well. The Washington,
Pa., hand, which accompanied the print
era' delegation, serenaded the newspaper
o Ilk us in the afternoon. They made good
music.
From beginning to end the demonstra
tion was creditable to all concerned. It
made a deep and last impression, not only
by its imposing proportions, but us well
by the class of men who mode up the
ranks. They were all good citizens.
Wheeling is to be congratulated on the
possession within her borders and lu her
neighborhood of the thousands of sturdy
and intelligent tollers of whom these were
but a respectable representation. Only a
fraction of the working population turned
out, but it showed well and unmistakably
what manner of men they are and what
proportion of the community they corn
pose.
