SOUTHERN BANNER: APRIL 16, 1878.
A Tramp who .Belonged to ! i!ii> «ra« is Burned are the Standsad,
the Fraternity. j Fit'lli Avenue, Walluck’s, Union
i Square, and Park Theatres, Delmoni-
A mted tramp, who has been in j tH) » H Windsor, St. James, Fifth Aven-
every Stat« of the Union, was before
a Court recently and was sentced to
7 be lockup. It has been rumored
that these old tramps are members of
-a regularly organized society, arid
havft a general understanding with
each other. The City Marshal W*s
uuthis office when this tramp appear-
ed, and, having heard of this tramp
.society and read something of its
ritual/ thought he would examine the
old fellow. The following angular
dialogue was the result, proving that
he-had caught a full-fledged member
of the tramp society :
“ Most noble and venerable tramp,
from whence came you
“ From a Aqwn in New York called
New Jerusalem,’’ ) •
“ What came.yott hero to do ?”
“ To learn to subdue my appetite
aud sponge my living by my wits.”
“ Are you a regular tramp ?”
“So taken arid accepted by my
brethren and known wherever I go.”
“ Where was you made a tramp?”
«A* a regular lodge of tramps,
sometimes called the lodge of the
vast wilderness.” > -
“ How am to recognize you ns a
tramp?” a»j.w-ooi» >
♦•By offering- rah a good square
meal, so that I need tramp no further,
at present, rind by keeping on pro
viding meals --
“IIow do you .know yourself to
uc, Buckingham, Metropolitan St.
Nicholas, Parker and Prescott Hotels.
The works are at Forty-fourth, Forty-
fifth aud Forty-sixth streets, and the
North river, and Mr. Francklyn, the
manager of the Cunard Line of
steamships, is the capitalist who has
supplied money for carrying on the
enterprise. It is said that $600,000
is invented. The concern, called the
Municipal Gaslight Company, has
been in active operation for more
than a year. A Sun reporter on Sat
urday met one of the directors of the
company, and asked him to describe
the method cf making the gas, and
the prospects of the enterprise. The
process was described as follows:
“ The foundation of the discovery
that water is convertible into burning
gas,” this gentleman said, “ is the ex
plosion of the old idea that water is
an original element. Water is a
composition of oxygen and hydrogen,
and by subjection to entense heat the
water is resolved into its original con
stituents, yieleding one volume of
oxygen gas and two volumes of hy
drogen. The process is a complica
ted one, but inexpensive, and the
water gas does not cost near so much
as the gas made from coal and kero-
sine. The first operation in the roan-
uiacture of this gas is to heat the
water, and next to superheat it to
about l,000dcgrees Fahrenheit. The
lie a tramp ?” r> ‘" r '~ J water is then passed into generators
“By seeking lood, being often j filled with anthracite coal, by incans
tired and often denied and ready and j of which it is decomposed into its
ETIWAKT
DISSOLVED BONE,
The highest grade . J
ACID PHOSPHATE,

cheapest' for (Jompoat.
Etiwan Crop Food,
A conoentraled combination of Potash, and
very high grade Soluble Phosphate, (pat cp in
barrels, 960 Iba. each.) ,
Nine years’ nse satisfies me that E*iwan pis
tol ved Bone is decidedly superior to,', and will
go further than, any other Fertilizer. Used
alone, or composted with Cotton Seed or Stable
Manure, furnishes the oheapest aud beat fer
tilizer for Cotton. !
Bone produces and ripens Fruit, will remain
in the aoil, if not cropped out, on account of
drouth, and be available m succeeding crops.
Bone is the only material a planter can afford
to purchase, and is indispensable.

*• How gained you admittance to
1 his city
“ By long and oft-repeated tramps.’’
“ How were yon received ?”
« By a brother tramp at the depot
door, armed with the proper imple
ments of his office—rum and tobacco-
who cautioned me against a .wicked
instrument called a “ billy,*? which
is used sometimes to break heads
with.”
“ How did your friend dispose of
you ?”
“ He gave me some liquid from his
bottle, then took me several limes
around the city, into the saloons at
the South and the West and the
East. Then the officer interviewed
me.”
“ What did the officer do with
)' ou? '’ * ,,nr V
“ He took me to the lockup, thence
to the Court, where a great many
questions were asked by the judge ”
“What did the judge do with
you?” "n * .
•• He taught ifie the way to. the
lockup in the Ehst'aiid advised me
to walk in au upright regular step
and tramp no more.’’
u Will you be off or.from?”
“ With your permission I’ll be off
mighty quick.”
*• Which way are yon*traveling?”
“ From the East to the West.”
“ Wfiy do yon leave the East to
travel to the West/’
“ In search ct work, which I hope

“ My friend, you are now at an in-
stitution where the wicked are always
troublesome and the weary are as

object of your search, you will now
be conducted U> the middle chamber,
by a flight of winding stairs consisting
of five or more. Instead of corn,
wine and oil, the wages of the
anoints, your# will be bread and

take a bee line for Rdekport or

Gas From Water.
IChrouicie & Constitutionalist)
Some days since we mentioned the
fact that a N^w Yorker Ksd discov
ered a process for making, gas from
water. It is now stated that some
practical men have erected works, and
for a year past liqve supplied gas in
that pity made from Crulcn water.
Among the eBtahlishments in which
original elements. The oxygen here
unites with the carbon front the coal,
and the products is carbonic oxide
and hydrogen. At this stage a crude
burning gas is had, containing sul
phur and carbonic acid. To remove
these the gas is passed through puri
fying boxes, which are immense sieves
containing layers of lime.—The sul
phur is deposited in the lime, and a
corbcnate is mad e by the acid. These
impurities removed, the gas next
passes into carhuretts—iron cylinders
encased in water jackets, on the glue
pot principle. These cylinders are
half full of naphtha. Tnc naphtha is
vaporized by the heat, and the gas
takes up this vapor and carries it into
the retorts. In the retorts the naph
tha vapor is decomposed, ami com
bined with the water gas, and the
latter is then burning gas, but not
ready for the markot. It is next pass
ed through condensers and washers
to remove any condensible vapors
The result is a clear white turning
gas, entirely free from odor or smoke,
and far more brilliant than ordinary-
coal ga«. Its illuminating power is
thirty per cent, greater than that of
coal gas.”
“ How much gas do you make
every day?” asked the reporter.
“ About 500,<W0 feet,* ,
“ Isn’t there about as much of oth
er kinds of gas in this mixture as 0!
what you get out of the Croton wa
ter?”
“ No ; the gas comes from the wa
ter. We treat it with nphatha vapor
simply io^ivu it illuminating ppwer.
You go and try this gas. Yon can
place a sheet of white porcelain with
in three inches of the flame, and there
will not lie a particle of smoke in
three months.” uvi
“ Are you selling it any cheaper
than the other companies f*
“ No; why should We? “We can’t
supply the deinnml for it. If <we
sought customers that would be a,
different thing. We’fcfc -ph** a Mf
profit from it now, and we intend to
do it.?’ a .
The gas, it is said, .costs the com
pany only 50 cents pert jiOusand feet,
and they sell it for $2. iciri
