HEARD FROM HEARD
The- Natural Gas Company of
West Virginia's President
WRITES TO HEALTH COMMITTEE
Bui the Tenor of lils Remarks Does
not Kntlrely Butt the Guardians of
the City's Interests?A Counter Proposition
to lie Mado by City SolicI
i?r -.tL-.iijjii/?in-m v-wuiuiiiitu
Makes lis Estimates.
The council committee on health met
last evening- for the purpose of further
considering the proposition of the United
States Fertilizer Comphny to take
off the cfrty's hands the task of consuming
the garbage. At a former meeting,
the committee had accepted the company's
proposition, which was that it
would take the garbage for the ensuing
two years at a charge of $1,200 a year,
and no charge after that period. In
exchange for this concession, the city
was to transfer to the company the
free gas privilege no;v extended to the
former by the Natural Gas Company of
"West Virginia In the way of fuel for
the crematory on Wheeling hill.
At last night's- meeting of the committee,
n letter was received from
President George H*ard, of the Natural
Gas Company of West Virginia, agreeing:
to furnish the United States Fertilizer
Company free of charge daily 10,000
feet of gas, In lieu of the agreement
* with the city to furnish the crematory
an unlimited amount of gas, and further
agreeing to furnish a "reasonable"
amount to the city again In the event
that the contract with tho fertilizer
con:rany should prove unsatisfactory.
That Utile word, "reasonable" was a
vtumMIng block with the committee.
Tiie trouble was there are so many
points of view from which to look at
things; for instance, a "reasonable"
amount of gas In the eyes of city legislators
might be most "unreasonable" in
the eyes of th* natural gas company. It
was slated that at present the city
crema tory consumes abou-t 60.0C0 feet a
day, so it Is obviously to the interest of
the gas company to encourage the letting
of the garbage consuming contract
to the United States company, for It
would mean a dally saving of 50,000 feet
of gas, or 59 a day at eighteen cents u
thousand.
The city solicitor was Instructed to
confer further ;vlth I'r??l<hnt Heard,
and Insist that. In the event of the
dry going fcacic to present crematory
methods, the city shall then stand In
the same position with reference to
free gas a? It stands now?In oth&r
words that the Natural Gas Companyot
West Virginia fi?rri?h nil the pas needed
to run the crematory. ,
The committee recommended to council
for payment bills aggregating $31 35.
Real E-taie Committe.
The council committee' on real estate
met last night and prepared its annual
estimate of the needs of the department
for the present fiscal year. After considerable
discussion th^ following estimate
was approved, and ordered referred.

Total $3.030 00
The committee instructed Chairman
Fnlr to purchase and have laid a suitable
carpet In the office of 'the pas
board. This Is an improvement that
has been needed for ssnv:? time and has
already been delayed too long.
The committee recommended for
payment bills aggregating 571 67.
Markets Committee.
The council committee on markets
met yesterday afternoon and visited the
two market houses, preparatory to
making the annual estimates for the
markets department. The committee
looks with favor upon the idea of closing
up the Second ward market house
sides, something on the order of the
Fifth ward house, thus Riving tha users
of stalls some protection from the
wintry blasts.
Committces'J^iiiglit.
The council committee on fire department
meets this evening to finish the
annual estimates for the department.
The committee if? unanimously in favor
of a new chemical for the Kast End,
but to have this addition to the department
It will be necessary to secure a
larger appropriation than was had last
VMf nnrl if rormlna l.t ho tvhi?thf?r
the finance committee will look with
favor upon the fire committee's increase/1
demands. There Is no doubt of
the n?d of the chemical for th? East
End district, and if the finance committee
can possibly accommodate the fire
committee with a larger appropriation
it will be had. The site of the proposed
new hose house is the corner of Twelfth
and McCulloch streets.
The committees on accounts and police
arc called to meet this evening.
FROM THE FROZEN NORTH.
A Scries of Interesting Photographs
from Sam Hugh llrockiinicr.
The Intelligencer has received a most
Interesting series of photographs made
by Mr. Sain Hugh 1? rocky nler, the
^Wheeling young man who, with Mr. E.
W. Stifel, is making his fortune In the
new gold field of western Ontario, in
the region north of Itat Portage. The
photographs show the Indians of the
region, sleds drawn by dogs, a sleigh
drawn by deer, the hIiuft. shops and
other buildings of the Virginia Mnllng
Company's plant, etc. In a letter accompanying
the photographs, Mr.
Brockunler says:
"Wo are beginning to look forward to
spring; in fix weeks the ice will begin
to go and by the middle of May spring
will be full upon us. There Is very little
Intermission or graduation between
winter and spring, or. In fact, between
any of the seasons. Someone has aptly
said that wc have hut t,wo seasons here,
July and winter.' "While this Is true to
'the extent of July being the only hot
. month, the weather is very pleasant
j from the middle of May until the midrj#?
of October."
IS A PIIIKK DRIIiI.
Knight* ofSt. George and Knights of
Pythias are to Figure.
For some lime there has been considerable
friendly rivalry between the
Knights of St. George nnd Knights of
Pythias a.f to which was the better
drilled. L.ist evening committees from
the two organizations met nnd arrangement
were completed for a prize drill
to come off In either May or June. The
contest will be for a purse, the amount
of which will be decided on later,
WHISKEY VS. MEDICINE.
.Under War Rcvcirao Law Only One
"Whiskey is Taxedfes a Mcdicine.
Under the new Revenue Stamp Law
whl?kle? are exempt from taxation,
but medicines are taxud. It is a notable
fact In connection with this vruth
that there is one whiskey which Is acknowledged
-by the government to be
a medicinal whiskey, and which Is,
therefore, Btwnped.
' This unusual exception la made In
the case of Duffy's rure Malt Whiskey,
the government recognizing Its medicinal
qualities, which do not belong to
anyjJther whiskey. It Is a complete
confirmation of what has been known
to the 'medical profession and scientists
for many years, namely that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey Js a medicinal whiskey,
as different from other kinds of
bottled whiskies as strong medicinal
waters are different from ordinary waters;
as different from other whiskies
as a medicinal preparation can be different
from a preparation containing
no mcdlclnal qualities.
It'Is'gratifying to know that people
who are not slo'V to take advantage
of all that Is meritorious are using
Duffy's Pure Malt for medicinal purposes.
and that It continues to accomplish
wonders.

A BOY KILLED.
Tcn-ycnr-olJ Jimmy Hammond
Crushc4 by an Elevator.
' |
WAS PLAYING "HIDE AND SEEK"
And Crawled in the Elevator Slmfl at
Niebergairs Ice House to Hide from
his Companions in the Dusk of
Evening ?A Search Disclosed his
Mangled and Brained Boily?Death
was Instantaneous. f
A sad fatality occurred in the lower
Eighth ward last night about 7 o'clock,
the victim being James, the ten-yenr-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Hammond,
and -the little fellow's life was
crushed out by an elevator in Louis
Nlebergall's Ice house, at the corner of
Forty-fifth and Eoft streets.
The boy was playing "hide and seek"
with some companions, and In hiding
from them he unfortunately chose the
bottom of the elevator shaft. He ran
through the Ice house door, which was
open on account of a rush, the Ice house
being open day and night just now to
receive ice for Mr. Nlebergall, who
conducts a butchering business. Young
Hammond lay down In the shaft unnoticed.
by,'anybody, and after the load of
ice had' been stored' above, the engineer
let the elevator down.
It was several minutes before the
poor little fellow's absence caused the
search to bo made for him. and his companions
and the men working about the
place were horrified to discover his
bruised and mangled tody under the
elevator. .Every spark of life had beeiv
crushed out. and his head, which came
directly under the elevator's edjje, was
i. frightfully mangled mass.
The body was tenderly removed to the
home of his parents, 2S Forty-seventh
street, and the shock to them was particularly
hard to bear. The boy was
their only child. Less than a year ago
he recovered from a severe malady by
skilled attention and his gallant fight
against the disease; in fact, ho had resained
good health only recently, hence
It was a tad blow* to the father and
mother to have him cut off while In Innocent
play. The accident occurred
lust about dusk, a fact partly accounting
for bis hiding place not being noticed
In time. The deceased boy was fanlliarly
known as "Jimmy" Hammond,
ind well liked by old and young. The
i'rr.pathy of the community is extended
;o the bereaved parents.
Coroner Schultze will hold a? Inquest
>vcr the body, likely to-day.
