89. BURNING GAS BY METER I She cost WILL IT BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BY THE OLD PLAN? Interviews -with Nine Consumers who Have Had Meters Set f-jr a. Month or CMore--Three of Them are I with the New System, Three Think It will be More Expmuve, Three are Uii'ieciile'l. A question of general interest through out the city just atj present is, what is the expense of burning fuel gas by meter at the established rate of 24 cents per thousand feet and will it be more expensive during tke winter months than the old rate per month per cook stove burner and per burner for heating stoves? A HERALD reporter has investigated the matter somewhat, but finds it is yet rather early to attempt to answer the question. From a list of gas consumers -who have had meters set tor a month or more, was selected at random the names of several persons for interviews on the subject So far as they have been seen they talked about as follows: Mr.

John of 44 Wayne street, one of the promoters of the cheap gas movement last 'spring, is of the opinion that burning gas by meter at 'be present rates will be more expensive than by the month as heretofore. His gas last month by meter cost 82 16 for one cook stove. He has a family of seven and they used all they wanted last month but were not extravagant. If the gas by meter averages more in cost than the old monthly rates Mr. Messer says he will have his raster ordered out and burn other fuel.

Mrs. W. P. Branch of 41 Coleman street burned SI -68 worth of gas by meter in one cuok stove during the past month. She lias a family of six and had to economize in order to keep the bill down so small.

The stove had been used for general domestic purp taining to a family of that size. thought tbat in the winter it would more than 64 per month. William Kerr of 65 Washington street is well satisfied with burning fuel by meter at 24 cents per thousand feet. Last month the bill for gas by meter consumed in his cook stove was 81 08. He has a family of five and the gas has been used for all domestic worK including laundry, etc.

For a small house and family Mr. Kerr is of the opinion that with gas by meter at the present rate the cost will not average as much dui- ing the winter months as the rate per month. He says he will be able to keep his house of six good sized rooms comfortably warm from October to March inclusive with gag fuel in one heating stove, and a cook stove, using all the gas needed at an average cost per month not exceeding 84." Mrs. H. Playford of 6 Coleman street, notwithstanding greatly economizing her gas fuel in a cook stove for the past two months, the cost came to $3.15 for the two months.

The gas was sparingly used for general domestic pui- poses for a family of six. Mrs. Playford says that if it comes to more than per month in the winter, and she feels quite contidect that it will, will have it disconnected and burn other fuel. Mr. J.

J. Yewdall of Winters avenue that gas by the meter at the present rate is a decided advantage over the old rate per month. In July his bill for gas by meter for a cook stove was in August it was but 65 cents. He has a family of three. The extremely low rate in August is explained by the fact that there was no laundry work done with the gas that month, but otherwise all the gas needed was used.

W. S. Wilkinson of 90 Clinton street does not think people can complain of the meter system at the present rates. Duricg the month of July he burned by meter 9,400 feet, using gas in a cook stove and furnace. He is well satisfied with the meter system and he thought, if burned economically it would be a saving the year around over the burner eystem.

A. C. JBussler of 192 State street does not think the meter system will allow of a saving the year around what would be saved in the summer would be made up in the winter. During the past two and a half months in his cook stoye, using fuel for general domestic purposes pertaining to a family of four, 15,000 feet of gas had been consumed. George Kelsey thought that judging from the test made so far with bis meter his gas would cost less in eight months of the year but the other four months it would average about double the former rates.

P. J. Savage of 70 First street is disgusted with the meter system at the 24 cents per thousand rate- He said that from the 20th of July to August 20th for ore cook stove his cas bill had practiced economy. Jtrom August 20th to September 30th his eas bill jr the same stove was SS. He says has used the cas very carefuuly and is confident that during the winter months he will be unable to stand the se and he is now preparing to burn FPANKLINVILLE FAIR.

5ays He as As anltecl. About 7 o'clock Monday William Shuliz, 1he IS year old eon of J. G. Shnltz. proprietor of the Cleveland hotel on street, was found lying on the ground mar his father's place apparently dead.

He svas carried to his home Folk-It wa? summoned and a rorne labor refu? itated the lad. He nad recovered sufficiently this afternoon to tell a rather disconnected story con- the cause of hi? strange condition. He he vra5 a-saulted by some man with intent to rob him. He had no valuables person arid if he was attacked for money or spoils the would-be highwaymen were unsuccessful. He is now rapidly recovering and will probably be all right in ajfew days.

Buffington is dead and four others are still in the mine, which is now a mass of flames and cannot be approached from any direction.

Fifty-five other workmen had a narrow escape from imprisonment, suffocation and death. This is the most disastrous mine known in the western anthracite coal field. It is feared the inside workings will have to be flooded to extinguish the fire, which will mean months of idleness to nine hundred employes. FELL FROM A BALLOO'-J. Young Giil Killed at FranldinTllle S.iiur- day Afternoon.

Beatrice Von Dressen, the young lady balloonist, made an ascension on the Franklinville fair grounds Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and when over 1,500 feet from earth she fell from the balloon, and was instantly killed. She had a parachute and was either trying co loosen it and lost her balance, or became unconscious. When she struck the ground it was indented ne-irly a foot with the imprint of her head, shoulders, hip and arm. She was but 17 years old.and ha'd been in the business three years, making in all nearly twenty ascensions, coming recently from the New Hampshire fairs. She made two ascensions at the Rochester fair last week.

Her father and mother were on the grounds, and she was their only child. Rain prevented her from going up Friday, and Saturday there was quite a heavy wind, but she told the crowd that she would risk her life to please them. She was born in Franklinville, but harl lived in Frankfort, N. for several years. She was a handsome, vivacious girl, and her horrible death has cast a deep gloom over the entire community.

Petersburg says a sudden change for the worse has taken' place in the condition of the Czar. The minister of war has ordered prayers for the preservation of the life of the Czar, to be offered up in all garrison and regimental churches. Court dignitaries and high Eussian officials have hurriedly starred for Livadia, It is reported that fainting fits have supervened and sn operation is immediately necessary. It is questioned whether in his present enfeebled condition the Czar can recover from the shock of an operation. What His Physician Oct.
