THE GAS QUESTION. & Yow Bpeculations and Some Interest- ing Statistics on a Subject of General Importance. How Chesp Can the Iluminaling Materi- al Be Furnished Were the City to Own the Works ? From All the Facts that Can Be Gathered!

The portions of those works which have survived the ravages of war and invasion, the mordant tooth of time, and atmospheric cbanges, bring conclusive testimony to the skill of their architects and boitders. Tus bighwass throughont Iraly were also built at the expense of the public treasury.—the most repowned, the ‘Appian way, etill remaining in s state of excellent prescrvation. The excavations made x5 Pompedi in lste years hava developed the fact that over almost every door- portal in that city was a crane for the parpese of holding a2 oil-lamp to be Litat night for the ezfety and protestion of those whose business or inclination called thom out after dark.

In modern times the Governments of all civilized countries have taken nuder_their con- trol all pubhe roads and highways. Tne means necessary for their mainteosuce are raised either by collecting a moderate toll from all who uee them. or else by direct taxation—in the lat- ter case making them free to all.

Aithough it is conceded by all’ who have given the sabject any study, thut gas as well aa water and improved Btreets and highways, should be supr by municipal aathority, and a respectable minority of tbe Aldermen and oven the gas men themselves concur therein, it i8 questionable at the present time, if it be safe or pradent for the city to embark in an enter- Drigoof 60 much maguitude. The figures given above are based on & maximum cossumption. Should tho consumption be of only a medium character, it is evident that the city could not operate the works except at a loss, which woald bava to be provided for in the annual tax lovy. A Locomative Sidewalits New York Trivune. QOneof the most singular objects to be dia- played at the Contennial Exhibition will sbe a vection of traveliog sidewalk, sn American in- vention for solving the problem of rapid transit in cities. This traveling sidewalk, as it is gon- erally callod, bat more properly an eudless rail- way train, will be half & mile in length, oparated by stationary eogines, and run at & spoed of from 15 $0 20 miles an bour, The transfer seats, sod all ather apphiances, will be of the same sizo 23 those intended for general use, by which Ineans passeneers may get on or off ile train with case and eafety without slacking the spoed of tho train. A company is_organizing in this city, with s capital of 3100.000. for the purpose of displayiog thia uniquo machine. Among 1ts corporators are Peter Cooper, George Hofiman, Samuel G. Courtney, Capt. Spencer, and R. A. Teibune. The whole work is expected to cost =bout 878,000, and will bo operated for exbibi- tion, with a charge tothose who ride upon it. This novel modo of traveling has attracted mach attention of Iate, and charters for puttiug it in- to practice in New York city were twice passed by both branches of the Legislature, but vetoed by Gov. Dix as beiag a0 experiment. It is the purpose of the Compauy, after the close of the exhibition, to transport tho road and exhibit it in London and faris, and other cities. — Freach Daels, ‘Thers are many reasons why duels rarely end fatally.

The Line to Be Pursued to Break Down Reed’s Testimony., XNothing New Goiten Out of the Wit- nesses, Judge Hopking' court-room was crowded to suffocatiou yesterday morning to hear the testi- mony in the Kibbo-Hill case, which sesma to ahow great rascality somewhers, which is being expoeed much to tho edification of the large number of persons present, among whom were many legal gentlemen, some of them of con- siderable noto. As it looks now, 1t seems that tha case will occupy fully six weeks yet in hear- iog evidence alons, aa over forty witnessca are to be examined ou the Kibbe side in rebuttsl, besides the numbor yet to be calied by Hill. The proceedings were manly re- mariable yesterday from.the fact that Mru. Reed wes most- eritically cross-oxamined by Mr. Ketwham, who put his questions with great force, James Reod was alsa recalled, and his manner and bearing were cool, yet he was considerably put out at times by the scorching questions put to kim by Mr. Ketchum in the recrogs-examina- tion, and his rediroct examination changed no ' material points heretofore produced. Judge Hopkins, too, listoned to the logal points ralsed during the exawination of witnesses, and could not but have been bored by the quibbles aud objections raiged, which oftentimes bad no bearing on the poiats in dispute. THE PROCEEDINGS were opened by recalling Mrs, Reed, who was cross-examived by Mr. Ketchum. She was somewhat shaken from the testimony she gave on the pravioua day. Thoo she siated that ber Visit 10 New York was ostensibly to soe Turner, yet yestorday sho testified that ber husband had left Philsdelpbis suddenly, and at nudnight, when the Sherif from Cooper County, Mo., had called upon him to take him on a requisition from that Stato to auswer cortain chargos of forgory. In refutation alse of tho statoment that ho bad plenty of money to go to New York on, it was sbown that his funds were g0 low that holiad Lo prma bis watel, tho puwn-ticket being produced in court. The theory of the evidence produced was to show that ~she had not goue to New York to soe Turner, but her Lusband, who was then sailing undor the alias of Joseph Wright. Io rebuctal, Mr. Darnum re-axamined the wituoss, during which A LETTER was prodaced in which it was stated by her hus- band that she was to come here to tostify to tire truth, * it or miss,” and was signed ** O'er the tulis and far awsy,” which counvol for the de- feose thought very poetic indeed. In her re- direct examinsation, sho also stated that she bad recoived three letiora in i, aud no other tele- grams than these produced on the stsud Fri- day. _ JAMES REED was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Ketch- um, who asked him the following questions, which are given since they appear to outliuo the policy of the prosecution whea it comes to brenk- ing down Rsed’s testimony and that of lus wife : Q.—)r.
