An Kxplanntion. Many of those who went out lo see the gas well yesterday were, unable to understand why it could not be gotten under better eon-tro- The reason why It could not was that w lien it caught lire a few days ago the valve was warped with the heat nnd the packing burned out of it. The seepage comes from some distance above tlic bottom of tho well where there must ho a leak lu the pipe, through which the gas escapes and forces the mud and water to tho surface. A new valve will be put on tho pipe today, and an attempt to stop the seepage by piling rocks and sand bags about the pipe. !ome hund-reds of loads have been used already and more will be, until tho spouler is under com-plete control. Ifenrd of It In the F.nst. t.'nlil a week or two ago the secretary of the chamher of commerce had been receiv-ing very little mail, but within the oast few days he lias reeeivi A dozens of letters. The writers are ail anxious to know about na-tural gas. In the correspondence reeeivi d today there were letters from tho gasr'gious of Findlay and N'orwa'k, Ohio, Pittsburg, Pa., Noblesville and Kokomo, Ind. The writers suid they had seen tho dispatches concerning tho gas discovery and they were now desirous of obtaining tho full particu-lars. To llore for Another (iuslier. The machinery which was used to put down the big gas well will bo moved today to a point about midway between the two railroad tracks where the new well is to be started. Driving will commence Just as Boon as the pipe arrives from I lie east. This Is to be the largest holo yet put down. It will bo commenced with a ten-inc- pipe which will be gradually reduced ns may be found necessary, so that hen it reaches the gas reservoir, the hole will be at least six inches in diameter. Make a Flambeau of It. When the big well is gotten under con-trol the public is going to be given an op-portunity to see It on lire after dark. Pre-parations aro being made now for that pur-pose. A new valve will bo put In aud the surface securely sand bagged. A stand pipe will then be run up forty or fifty feet in the air nnd the thing set on tire like a huge flambeau.

Jlnrnaby's Washerwoman Mentions Threats the Ooctur Made. Denver, Iec H At the rhirnahy-Crravr- s trial Edward Hcunett was recalled to tliu stand. He identified several letters which passed betw een Mrs. Barnaby and Mrs. Mor-rel- l and Mrs. Baruaby and Dr. Graves. In one of Craves' letters to Mrs. Burnaby tho former said that ho would collect tho rent from Mrs. Barnaby'i tenants and deposit it in a bank, and hoped that he would soon re-ceive a large payment, for he had a chance to make JID.Oiw for her. His wife. Mr.. Bennett, was now called to the stand She remembered the visit of Dr. and Mrs. Graves with Mrs. Burnaby to her home iu tlic Adirondack. Durum her first visit Mrs. Banmliy said that iio left Dr. (iraves S."ii,O(0 In her first will. She thought this too uiuib. Mrs. Il.irnahy often received letters from the doctor. Witness remem-bered that Mrs. Barnaby received a letler lu which Dr. (iraves threatened to appoint a guardian for her. Witness had heard Mrs. Barnaby complain to Dr. (iraves. hut he told her that she had not complained. Mrs. Itlckey i f l'rovi(b'iiee, who was Mrs. H:irnaby' washerwoman, fa d that she had known the Barnaby family over Ihirly years. Mrs. Barnaby lived in a small house by her. self, nnd, when her husband died, she told wiln.iss that he had left, her but J.'.MH) per year, but she was satisfied with this. Shortly after she became acquainted w ith Dr. (iraves and seemed to have b"cn faeinated w ith him. Soov. after Mrs. Burnaby said that Dr. (iraves advised her to con I st her husbands will; that he wanted her to sign a paper that Maud Barnaby was not Mr. Barnaby's child. Wit-ness advised her Hot to do such a thing. Again Mrs. Barniibv told witness that, if Batn-ib- eou'd give JiOO.liOO to his mistress, she should ha'vo her rights. Dr. (iraves told her that. Ilarnnby left his money to his mistress. Mrs. B.irnabv wa. very suseepli-bl- e to flattery, and by this means (iraves had gained control over her. In April last w it. lies and the doctor hid hot words about the property, lie said that he would bring her insane, and you need not bo surprised it you hear some day that Mrs. Barnaby bus had a shock. Win n Mrs. Barnaby was in California the doctor told witness once that he understood Mrs. Baiiisby was coming home to gel her money and give it to the Bennetts. If sho attempted snything of the kind ho would have her sent tonrruzy house or have a guardian appointed for her. Henry (t. Triekey, correspondent of the Boston (tlnhr, testitlcd as to his Interviews with Dr. (iraves, who had told him that Mrs. Barnaby had informed him ho was a bene-tleiar-in her will, but lie did not know the amount. He told witne-- s lie had taken charge of her affairs only upon her earnest solicitation. Ho also reflected upon her character, and declared that he was sorry he ever became acquainted with her. ilLAXK AND ELK INS. HOW THE LATTER'S ELEVATION WILL EFFECT THE MAN FROM MAINE. Talk of Contesting the Scuta of Senators ' illlli Hrlec mid Wlilto Other News 1 tenia From tho Nation nl Capital. Wamiinoton, Dee. IS. The W (hit morning, in commenting on lUc nomination of Stephen B. i:ikius to be secretary of war, saya: "Klkins was offered the portfolio las spring and la st summer, but declined both tunes, my ini- - that hi) could not accept it while doff was unprovided for; that the lat-te- r should be recognized for the time and money spent by him in endeavoring to pro. mote the Interests of tho republican party lu West Virginia. A few weeks ago he was again tendered tho position, coupled with assurances that Golf would get tliu circuit judgeship. Ho then went to call upon Mr. Ulaine. " 'What effect,' aaked Klkins, In the course of tho talk, 'w ould my appointment have Upon your presidential chance next year V "'Absolutely none,' was lllaine's reply; 'as I feel at present that I shall not bo a can-didate for tho nomination. However, if there should comu to me from the rcpuh. lie an party an overwhelming expression, de-manding that I accept the nomiuulion, J may be constrained to put aside my personal feelings and accept tlic nomination. In that case, Mr. Harrison will be for me, and there will bo no Impropriety lu you being my ' friend also. On tho other hand, should Mr. Harrison to tho nominee, I will not be In the race, and, therefore, you will bo bis friend. 1 cannot see how your acceptance or declination will change, tha condition of things In tho slightest degree, and 1 would advise you to accept the appointment.' "Whereupon Klkins accepted.'' ltuuioreit Senatorial Contests. A published statement that the republican e ii a tors had virtually decided to contest the scuts of (senators Hill, Brice and Whlto at-tracted aome attention among tho senators today. Careful Inquiry failed to disclose anything like an organized movement in that direction, and iu fact, It appears that the republican senntors havo as yet given tho subject little thought. A republican senator said the contention In regard to (iovernor Hill's case would he nibstaiitiully as follows; That hi continu-ing to hold after tho 4lh of March, lll, (when ho was entitled to be a senator,) an olllee admittedly Incompatible w ith the sen. atorship, operated as a renunciation of Hie latter, and that it had already done so. All important question presented was as to how long a person thus situated could hold the governorship aud keep the simutorship posi-tio-vacant. In regard to tho story as to Briee, all tha t has been done was conliued to the remarks made by fcnator Sdicrmuu when his creden-tials wero iHvscntcd. As to Senator White, 11 cannot be h arried that there is any inten-tio-on the part of tho republicans to make a contest. Flares Saved for Hill. As Senators Hill and Vance have not yet tikcu their scuta iu tho Senate, the commit-tee places Intended for them are temporarily assigned to other senators, with (he uti h th:it they resign Ihem In favor of the absent senators when Ihcy appear.

The newly appointed house eommltt ie on rules has not yet had a meeliug, but expects to get together before the house reconvenes Saturday, to agree upon a resolution fixing tho membership of tho committees.
