OUR BASEBALL PLATERS AT BALLARAT.
Tnere were two great attractions among
the local sporting people yesterday as a
"starter" for the young and, comparatively
speaking, undefined new year. The two
magnets referred to were the pedestrian con
test at the London Theater and the female
bicycle contest at the Central Bink. Unfor
tunately, however, for the latter, the con
testants could not secure the rink until 7
o'clock last evening. The "newsies" were
being dined in the building. This really
prevented the public from seeing some ex
cellent holiday sport However, the ladies'
struggle is referred to elsewhere in this depart
ment of the paper.
The pedestrian contest, as a result of the
above reasons, occupied the public attention
more than twice as lone as the female race, and
the former certainly gave the public the worth
of Jheir monpy. The race was chiefly a strug
gle between Moore and Guerrero.
riSOFESSIOKAL ENMITY.
Tho enmity between these professionals,
that is professional eninitj, is exceedingly in
tense. As a result they started in yesterday's
race with a determination to run each other off
the track. When the race started the building
was crowded and Guerrero moved off ina lively
manner. The other starters were: Moore,
Hart and Englcdrum. Before the race had
progressed far, Guerrero soon gave everybody
to understand that ho was -out for the money."
When 12 miles had been co ered by him, he
was nearly a mile ahead of Moore. The latter
was in front of Engledrum. and he was a few
laps ahead of Hart, who was sadly out of con
dition. The race went on amid the excitement of a
packed building, and toward C o'clock Moot e
began to reduce Guerrero's cad. Mnore's ef
forts, bojrever, began to affect himself con
siderably, and when U o'clock was reached ho
perceptibly went to pieces. Guerrero then
"flew round the track aud settled all results as
far as the w inner was concerned. Engledrum,
who was not far behind Moore, then made a
bid for second place, and a fine struggle fol
lowed. Hart was ont of it then, because of his
poor condition. Guerrero was extroinly lo
quacious. HE SETTLED SIOOKE.
When he knew that he had Moore settled he
repeated his offer to run anj body in tho w orld
21 hours for SkUUO a side.
The race, undoubtedly, was a desperate one,
and the winner earned everything he got in
the way of prize money. Whether or not the
best 12-hour pedestrian won is another matter,
however, ana will only be determined by a
match race which will assuredly take place
somewhere between Moore and Guerrero.
That each man tried to win yesterday there is
no doubt whatever, but Moore, it is safe to
say, has not the fieetness of foot to defeat
Guerrero in a 12-bour-per-day race. He may
have, but he must prove It. Last evening
Guerrero really showed some remarkable
sprinting on the bhort track. He displayed
qualities of speed and style that would make
him a general champion had he the grit and
stamina.
Moore, of course, is not satisfied with yester
day's result, and claims that he can defeat
Guerrero. When and where a race between
tween the two will take place is not known, but
they will run, as Guerrero states he can find a
stake.
During the afternoon George Xoremac's at
tention as drawn to a statement in a paper
to the effect that be was a kind of a hippo
dromer. The veteran was hurt at this, and
justly. It is now stated that a more honest
race was never run in this or any other coun
try than that of last week in this city. There
is really no fact to show that the race was
otherwise, and any man who can produce any
thing at all like reasonable evidence to show
that Noremac, that game old war horse of the
tracks, was not beaten fairlv, can havoSlOO by
submitting the required evidence to the office
of this paper. Tnj money named will be paid
by a gentleman interested in the race.
When the race nnished at 12 o'clock Guerrero
was an easy winner. Dunne the last two or
three hoars he had the race won and took
several rests. The following was the score at
the finish.

THE GUN EXPERTS.
Hcrron Hill CInb members Unvs Some
Exciting Contests.
There was some excellent sport out at the
Herron Hill Gun Club grounds yesterday, and
the contest will long be remembered. The
members and friends had two exciting matches
and two sweepstakes that were just as hotly
contested. Without doubt the Hcrron organ!
za'tion can at eyen a week's notice produce
just as fine and as close a day's shooting as
lovers of that sport will wish to see. Yester
day more than 300 people were on the grounds.
John Kajlor was referee and gave every satis
w faction. Colonel Lloj d furnished an excellent
Juncb and received the good opinion of every
body present in return.
The great feature of the day was the excel
lent shooting of Elmer E. Shaner. He was
among the winners in all four contests. His
skill can be estimated when it is stated that out
of 46 shots he made three misses. The wind
was tronblesbme, which fact makes Mr.
Sinner's performance all the more remarkable.
Following are the scores:
First match, ten blue rocks, entrance $1: First
prize, alligator gnn case. E. E. Shaner broke 9:
second prize. 500 10-gange shells, George Sny
der. 8; third prize, pocket knife, T. P. Cum

Grace Redeems Himself.
rsrrciAi. teixoeam to the dispatch.
New York, January L Jack Grace re
deemed himself this morning by knocking out
Dave McGrath, or the Fourth ward, in a round
and a half. The lads fought in this city in the
presence of about two dozen persons, for a
purse, with skin gloves. Grace was much
heavier than McGrath, and had everything his
vown way. He was hit only twice, once on the
jaw and once on the right side of the head. He
banged McGrath all over the ring, and at the
end of a minute and a half, in the second round,
landed bis right on the point of David's jaw,
and Dave went over on his back all at once.
The lallen fighter lay like a dead man for 20
seconds, and it took a minute more to bring
him around so that he could speak.
Dnnkcrly Wao'j a Mntcb.
James Dunkerly, of this city, called at the
office of . this paper yesterday and left the fol
lowing challenge: "I will wrestle the winner
of the match between Cook and the unknown
at Steubenvillc best two in three falls, catch-as-ratcb-can
rules, for 100 a side. I will meet
either of the parties at The- DisrATCH office
at any time mentioned through this paper."
The Champion Shots.
Among the minyiocal shooting contests that
took place yesterday of more or lessimportanee
was a "turkey shoot" at Wallace station in
-which some prominent shots took part. The
chief winners wre: George Hodgdon, who
won five turkeys; George Moore, who won four
..and twice second money; John A. Huggins,
the champion, won two.
THE BOYS AT BALLARAT.
Ten Thousand People Sco the American
Ball Players Perform A Serious Balloon
Accident Anson's McnjWln a Game.
BALLAKAT,Dccembcr31. (Copyright)-The
weather has been against tho American ball
plajers for the past few days. Ten thousand
people assembled at St. Kilda this afternoon to
see them play, hut at the last moment a heavy
rain came up and tho grounds were soon so
soaked that playing was impossible. Much re
gret was expressed by the assembled thou-'
sands, who seemed to feelas bad for the players'
as for their own disappointment. This after
noon at Ballarat Prof. Bartholomew was
seriously, though it is hoped not fatally, hurt
while making a descent from a balloon. He is
a rival of Bahl win, who created such a furore
in London by descending from a balloon a mile
high by means of a parachute in the presence
pf the Prince of Wales and many thousands
of other spectators. Bartholomew joined the
American patty as a tourist at San Francisco,
and intended making ascensions and leaping
from his balloon while it was in the clonds in
connection, with the ball game. Ho made a
very successful ascension to-day, but in de
scending by the aid of his parachute he fell
against the roof of a house. If he has sus
tained no internal injuries it is hoped he will
recover. It has been decided to play the last
game in Australia next Saturday and to sail
next Monday by North German Strait to
Columbo.
January 1. The American baseball teams
played a game here on the cricket grounds
to-day. It threatened rain, but nearly 2,000
people were present. Tener and Anson were
the batteries for the Chicagos and Crane and
EarlefortheAll-Amcricans. The batting was
sharp and good throughout the game, but in all
sat c the sixth inning the fielding of the All
Americans was hardly up to the mark and was
far behind that of the Chicagos. Following is
the score:
Chicago 3 2 S 0 0 1 3 0 014
AU-Amcrirans 1 100410007
It was intended to play another game this
afternoon with a nine composed of local players,
but a rain storm prevented. The fact that the
great Flcmington races were run in opposition
to our games xrcatly reduced the size of the
crowd which assembled to see the game. Tho
Interest in baseball continues unabated and the
American national game is sure to obtain a
footing in the Antipodes. Happy N cw Year to
all baseball lovers.

LAWYER'S PICNIC.
Ho Scores nn Easy Handball Victory Over
Conrtney.
ISrECIAt. TELEGRAM TO Tin DISPATCH
New York, January L The second part of
the series of 15 games of handball was to havo
been played to-day at Casey's handball court iu
Brooklyn between Conrtney and Lawler. for a
purse of $100. The games were started, but
owing to Courtney being ill, he was compelled
to forfeit the match. The first 7 of the 15
games were plajcd on Christmas Day, and re
sulted in Courtney winning -1 onttf tho 7. To
outsiders it seemed a sure victoryforConrtney,
and the betting was in his favor 10 to 7, even
after the men had appeared iu the building.
One glance at Courtney w as enough to tell that
it was foolish for him to attempt to play. Still.
he persisted in going in, and he went. Lawler
was not in good condition either. Lawler won
three stra-gbts with ease, Courtney becoming
worse each game.
It was now pretty certain that Lawler would
win the match, for his total victories In the
series was six. to his opponent's four. When
the third game had been finished Courtney
went to his dressing room. Ina few minutes
Tom Meeban. his backer, stepped into the
court and said:
"Mr. Courtney is too sick a man to play any
longer, and is forced to forfeit the match. If
the backers of Lawler think that he is the bet
ter man, I will back my man for S200 a side."
A rush was made to the dressing room to see
the man. By the time that the spectators got
there Conrney had decided to try to play
another game, and there was another rush for
the gallery. In this last game Courtney got
only two liands, while Lawler simply ran away
from him. When Lawler scored his fourteenth
ace Courtney gave up altogether. He said it
was impossible for him to go on, but that ho
would meet tawler in two months for S250 a
side. The men shook hands on it. An exami
nation of Lavler's hands after the game
showed they were so swollen as to look like the
E alms of boxing gloves. Courtney had t oof
is fingers so badly injured that it was impos
sible for him to handle the ball with bis right
hand at all.
EXCITING WHEELING.
The Ladies Cnnse the Wildest Enthusiasm
in the Central Rink. .
Although the female bicycle contest at the
Grand Central Rink did not commence until 7
o'clock last evening more than 3,000 people
witnessed the race before midnight arrived.
Probably there never was more public enthusi
asm displayed in any contest of the kind than
there is in this one no w going on. It is safe to
say that the enthusiasm is all prompted
by the fact that Miss Lewis, a local
contestant has so far been in the lead. Pitts
burgers, like all other people, are doubtlessly
imbued with the thought that charity begins at
borne. The desire to see a Pittsburger defeat
cither a national or an imported champion is,
therefore, great. Miss Lewis certainly sur
prised many people la3t evening, and so did
MissOakps. Tho latter gave an exhibition of
bicycle riding that probably no female can
equal. She went two miles in a way that cre
ated cheer after cheer from an immense audi
ence. She gained on Miss Lewis, but the latter
stuck to her work, and at 10 o'clock was still
well ahead.
During the evening Miss Von Blumen. who
was injured on Monday, was presented with a
handsome bouqnet amid cheers. She responded
by riding one ol the quickest miles ever seen on
the track.
Miss Lewis, "No. 2," made her one hundreth
mile at 7:51 and the house was nearly "brought
down." "No. 4" followed with her century
nearly an hour later, and "No. 5" reached tho
100 miles at 9.-07. Following was the score at
midnight:

A BIG CHALLENGE.
Gnu Gaerrcro Offers to Rnn Any Man a
25-Mile Race.
After the conclusion of yesterday's foot race
Gns Guerrero issued the following challenge:
"I am prepared to run any man in America a
ten-mile race, bar Grant, of Boston; or I will
run any man, bar none, 15, 20 or 25 miles for $500
or 1,000 a side. I will be prepared to make a
match before I leave this city if I am requested
to do so. I make this challenge because of nu
merous remarks made in public and private re
garding me. Now is the opportunity for these
ten-mile runners."
A Worthy Tribute.

shall ever remember Mr. Davis and Pittsburg
people. George D. Norehac,

Sporting Notes.
Rain prevented the New Orleans races yes
terday. Guerrero Is a "phenom" when he has a
sure thing.
Guerrero will probably get about 5100 as
bis share of yesterday's race.
It mat be that a (Way straight-away pedes
trian contest will take place here shortly.
There was a jovial reception at the rooms
of tho Pittsburg Rod and Gun Club last
evening.
Moore states that ho and four or five other
pedestrians will contest in San Francisco in
February next.
'Pittsbtjrg Pun," accompanied by two or
three business friends, will leave the citv to
day for California to try their luck at book
making. It is a question of England, Germany and

Convention oi Colored Catholics, composed
of delegates from nearly all of the colored
Catholic churches and societies throughout
the country.began its session this morning in
the St. Augustine Colored Catholic Church
in this city. Every scat' in the church was
occupied when at 10:30 o'clock Father
Talton, of Quincy, III., the only colored
Catholic priest in the United States, began
the celebration of solemn high "mass. Im
mediately iu front of, and beneath the pul
pit, sat his Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons,
who delivered the sermon. He was clad in
the scarlet robe of hisoffice. At the con
clusion of the sermon the Cardinal welcomed
the delegates.
This gathering, said he, will mark an era
in the history ot the colored people of the
United States, for never before had colored
Catholics of the country met in convention.
He trusted that the deliberations of the
convention would be marked by modera
tion and discretion. The action of the con
vention would be watched by the country,
not with the kindly eves of friendship, but
with the sharp ones o'f criticism. He sug
gested that the convention discuss educa

tion necessary to the life of the Republic.
Temporary organizations were effected by
choosing as President, William H. Smitb.
The President's greeting was responded to,
among others, by Messrs. S. F. Hardy, ot
Minnesota; A. F. Rcbmson, of Georgia;
Joseph Wilkinson, ot Missouri; and Nicho

A committee on permanent organization
was also appointed. At this moment Car

unity," said the Cardinal; "in non-essential,
liberty; in all things, charity."
Everyone then bad 3n opportunity to
kiss the Cardinal's ring. The convention
then adjourned until to-morrow morning.
A CHESS-PLATING SULTAN.
The Present Ruler of Islam a Lover of the
Pleasant Game.
London Court Journal.
The present Sultan is one of the most en
thusiastic chess amateurs in Europe. He
will play the game for hours without inter
mission, and will not allow any matter of
State to interfere with the problem in which
at the present he is engaged. His Ministers
often find themselves unable to approach
the Imperial presence, for the reason that
the Sultan is deep in a game. They and
their statecraft have to wait until the Sul
tan has checkmated his adversary or decid
ed upon the next move.
Abdul Hamid has his own court chess
player, a Hungarian, who receives a hand
some salary fer letting the Sultan win a few
games off him each day. It is said that the
present court chessman's predecessor was
dismissed from the office because he ungen
erously insisted on profiting by his superior
skill, and checkmated his imperial antagon
ist every time. The Hungarian master
therefore plays a very poor game to the Sul
tan, and makesa point of looking crestfallen
at each defeat, whereat the thirty-fifth rep
resentative of the House of Otham crows
with delight and claps his hands.
Its Fatal Remits.
Andrew Billok, one of the men injured
by the powder explosion at Valley Forge,
Fayette county, last Suhday, died at the
Homeopathic Hospital yesterday afternoon.
The boly was taken to .the morgue, where
an inauest will be held this afternoon.
John Dnalz, another of the injured men,
was not expected to live until this morning.
John Kenvinsak is also in a critical condi
tion. An Excellent Entertainment.
A musical and literary entertainment was
given by the Everett Council, No. 854,
Royal Arcanum, in Arsenal Bank Hall,
Lawrenceville, last evening. A very fine
programme had been arranged and a large
crowd ras in attendance. Among the prin
cipal performers were Prof. George Sleetle
and Miss Agnes and Mr. Joseph Vogel.
A Bnd Beginning.
The Limited Express was one hour and
15 minutes late arriving at the Union station
last night. A short distance west of Phila
delphia the air.brakes refused to work and
the trainmen had to use the old hand brakes.
This necessitated running the train very
slowly.
A New Year's Party.
Dr. C. B. King, of 97 Arch street, Alle
gheny, gave a party last evening in honor
of bis daughter pina. It was a select affair
and only 20 conples were present. Gernert
& Gnenther furnished 'the music and
Kennedy was the caterer.
The Seventh Vear.
'Squire Leslie, of Lawrenceville, gave his
seventh annual New Year's reception at his

Indianatolis, January 1. Indianapo
lis people gave themselves up to oeial
festivities to-day to an?extent not practiced
here for many years. They were favorei
with pleasant weather. The morning was
full ' of sunshine, . but in the after
noon it clouded up a little. Busi
ness was almost entirely l suspended
and the streets were filled with pleasure
seekers. General Harrison passed much of
his morning in his library, but managed to
take his usual walk. The General's mail
continues so large that Private Secretary
Halford and Stenographer Tibbot iound
it necessary to devote the entire .day
to work. The President-elect had no polit
ical visitors to-dav.- Senator Henrv M.
Blair, of New Hampshire, arrived to-day.
and called upon General Harrison this
evening. He is here, however, on a lectur
ing tour, having engaged to deliver five
lectures in the State.
NEW ENGLAND TOR BLAINE.
He talked freely with the correspondents
about' his several bills in Congress and on
political matters, stating among other
things that in his opinion a large majority
of the Republicans of New England were
desirous of seeing Mr. Blaine at the head of
President Harrison's Cabinet. He was not
going to specially advocate Mr. Blaine to
the President-elect unless the latter re
quested his views.
An unusually large number of prominent
ladies of the city threw open their doors
this afternoon. The most notable receptions,
however, were those held in the afternoon at
the residences of General Harrison, Hon.
John C. New and at the New Dennison
Hotel at night.
SiThe handsome parlors of the Harrison
residence were decorated with flowers and
plants, but not to any elaborate degree.
Mrs. Harrison was assisted by her daughter,
Mrs. J. R. McKee, Mrs. James Bradshaw,
Mrs. Edward McKee, Miss Lina McKee,
Miss .Newcomer and Miss Riley, ot Harris-
burg. General Harrison received with the
ladies, and Mr. Russell B. Harrison par
ticipated for some time in the reception.
p ENTIRELY INFORMAL.'
Promptly at 2 o'clock the callers began to
arrive in large numbers. General and Mrs.
Harrison stood in the front parlor and
greeted their friends immediately after they
entered the house. There were no intro
ductions, and guests dispersed throughout
the house, and many lingered for an hour or
so. By 3 o'clock the scene in front of the
bouse was an animated one, rows of car
riages blocked the street and hundreds of
callers came on foot.
It was noticeable that a goodly proportion
of the callers were workingmenj accom
panied in most instances by their wives and
daughters. Fashionable society came also,
and all degrees of social life could be found
within those hospitable doors at all times
during the afternoon. The guests were
invited to partake of a little lunch. Mrs.
McKee presided at the handsome table
spread in the dining room, and assisted by
her cousin, Miss Newcomer, she refreshed
the guests with the tiny cups of coffee, tea
and chocolate.
General Lew Wallace, ex-Governor A.
G. Porter and other resident people of dis
tinction were among the callers, as were
also a. large number of clergymen of all de
nominations. It is impossible to state how
many.people passed through the Harrison
parlors during the six hours, but the stream
was a constant one, and a moderate esti
mate places the number at nearly 2,000.
Gen. Harrison to-night attended the in
stallation of officers of George N. Thomas
Post, G. A. R., of which he is a member.
He arrived about 7 o'clock, and made a
brief address. He referred to the fact that
many men had gone into the army and gone
out of the army, and that he was about tobe
mustered in again. This reference to his
approaching assumption of the high office
of Commander-in-Chief of the Array elicited

THE GREATEST HONOR.
He said he felt that it was a great honor
that the privilege had fallen on them of de
fending the flag, and it was an honor
that should be valued above all
other honors. They had not only de
fended the flag of their country,
borne and bnntized in the blood of the
Revolution, but also defended and pre
served the ideas and principles of free gov
ernment as theywer handed down to us
from the patriots of old.
He then spoke briefly upon the subject of
a free ballot and a fair count. He feared
no interference from foreign nations we
were at peace with the world neither did
he fear or apprehend civil dissensions. He
closed his address with a touching farewell
tribute in very nearly the following words:
"God bless you, everyone. May God
bless your homes and your families, and
finally may we all be reunited and
marshaled in that Grand Army above."
As the General spoke his farewell words
slowly and pathetically many of the veter
ans were wceDing, and a silence reigned in
the big hall for several seconds after he con
cluded. Then his comrades filed past him,
and each man shook his hand cordially.
But few of them trusted themselves to speak
as they passed by and grasped his hand,
and the General was equally affected by the
solemnity of the occasion.

What a Close fetmve Means A Rather
Dangerous Operation.
San rranclsco Echoes. J
Do you know what a close shave means?
I never did until I looked at a face the other
day through a microscope which had been
treated to this luxurious process. "Why,
the entire skin resembled a piece of
raw beef. To make the face perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal
of the hair, bnt also a portion of the cuticle,
and a close shave means the removal of a
layer of skin all artulnd. The blood. vessels
thus exposed are not visible to the eye, but
under the microscope each little quivering
mouth holding a minute blood drop protests
against such cruel treatment. The nerve
tips are also uncovered, and the pores are
left unprotected, which makes the skin ten
der and unhealthy. This sudden exposure
of the inner layer of the skin renders a per
son liable to have cold, hoarseness and sore
throat.

THE TAEIFF ML
To Resume Its Grind To-Morrow In the
Senate River and Harbor Bill in tho
Honse Appropriation Bill to
' beHps'tlcd.
Washington, January 1. Under the
agreement made respecting the tariff bill,
the Senate will meet to-morrow morning at
11 o'clock and continue to do so until the
vote is taken on the passage, of the bill.
After the miscellaneous business is disposed
of the consideration of the tariff bill will be
resumed, and it will have the right of way
over all other measuses until action is taken,
on the 21st inst. Mr. Chandler gave notice
before the holiday recess that immediately
upon reassembling be would can up nis
resolution directing the committee on
privileges and elections to investigate the
generator State elections in Louisiana and
Rhode Island, within the past year,- and to
investigatcthe general election in any other
State if the committee deem it necessary or
desirable. The resolution will therefore
come up to-morrow, but the opposition will
in all probability cause a postponement
its considcraton at least until the tariff bill
is out of the way.
The prospects are that, when the House
meets to-morrow morning, after the holiday
recess, it will immediately proceed to the
consideration of some of the appropriation
bills now on the calendar. The river and
harbor bill reported, the House has the
right of way of appropriation bills, and
Chairman Blanchard will call it up for fur
ther consideration the first thing to-morrow.
He intends to push its consideration, and
will try to secure "an early vole upon it.
The unfinished business is the bill to incor
porate the Nicaragua Canal Company,
which has been favorably reported to the
House with amendments rom the committee
of the whole. The friends of the bill will
call jt up on Friday, and try to secure a
vote on it. Should 'opportunity offer this
week Mr. Crisp, from the -Committee on
Elections, will call up the South Carolina
contested election case of Smalls versus
Elliott. The settlement of this case will
leave only one other contest to be disposed
of, that of Sullivan versus Tilton, of Cali
fornia. SOME SfBANGE FIGHTS.
An Unusual Number of Candidates for Alle
gheny Councils.
It wonld be a difficult matter and would
require a great deal of space to mention the
names of all the aspirants for seats in Alle
gheny Councils. The only ward in the city
where there is no contest for the chairs in
the Select branch is the first. The present
Councilmen, Daniel T. Mnlvey and Ed
ward Hartman have refused to accept the
position if elected, and the only persons
named for the vacancies are Dr. Charles W.
Neeb, of the Freiheit's Freund, and Arthur
Kennedy, Esq.
There are over 20 candidates for the 8
seats in the Common branch iu the Third
ward, and almost as many for the 7 in the
Second.
There will be a queer fight in the Fiith
ward for Select Council. The present in
cumbents are James Lindsay, of Lindsay &
McCutcheon, and W. "W. Speer, the plow
manufacturer. The latter always had op
position, hut always won without soliciting
a vote. This time, however, the mill men,
that is, the employes of Lindsay & Mc
Cutcheon's mill and the La Belle Steel
"Works, have put up George "W. Harner, the
boss roller in the latter mill. They
declare that they will support Lindsay and
Harner and elect them. Other residents of
the ward say they will bring out Mr. John
Smitley, of Reymer Bros. & Co., and ex
pect to elect him and Mr. Speer. The fight
will be an interesting one and no one can
predict the result. There will be another
interesting contest for Select Council in the
Third ward. The candidates are the present
incumbents, Hugh Renwick and' Thomas
Brown, also Emanuel "Wertheimer and
"Wm. Wettaeh. Two 6f them will of course
be defeated, but the indications are that the
present members will be returned.
A politician who heard the names of
almost all the aspirants for seats in the
Common branch, said last night that there
were 133 candidates for the fifty places,
with more to hear from.

NEW OrEEATIONS.
Tne new work at Taylorstown is nearly
all in the northwestern addition. "Within
the last 100 days over $60,000 has been paid
out in bonuses. John McKeown has 11
wells on the 200 acres of the "William Knox
farm, for which he paid $20,000 bonus, and
the Buffalo Oil Company has 8 wells on the
100 acres of the same farm for which thev
paid $10,000 bonus. The Union Oil Com
pany has taken 60 acres of the Robert Knox
farm, at $6,000 bonus, and have an option
on 50 acres more at the same price.
The sale by James Preston and James
Ellsworth of their interests in the Taylors
town oil field hs been consummated. The
price paid was $90,000. The purchase in
cluded a seven-eighths interest in the Hilton
farm, six wells, with a daily production of
270 barrels, a one-fourth interest in the
Hagerty, Thompson Cleland and Bohert
Knox p'roperties, which aggregate 400 acres
and have a daily production of 500 barrels
from five wells, and leases on the Miles' and
Coffey farms.
all will paeticipate.
The "Well Drillers' and Tool, Dressers'
Union at this place has a membership of
100, nearly all of whom will participate in
the distribution of the 588,000 realized from
the sale of the 1,000,000 barrels of oil dis
posed of a few days since. The profit on
the oil was $190,000, but large sums which
had. been advanced by the Producers Pro
tective Association had to be returned.
The C. D. Bobbins rig, which was used to
drill the dry hole on tne Shields farm, is
being movea to the Eamsey farm. Mur
phy Brothers' well has quite a nice little
pay streak in the fourth sand and is pro
ducing 40 to 50 barrels a day. The Mar
shall Oil Company's Crothers 3 was slfot
Monday with 15 quarts and responded
niceiv. it is good for 75 barrels a day.
The W. C. Grimes well of Eeed, Alexander
& Co. is completely through the Gordon
sand without obtaining oil. The gas is
weakening materially. The well cannot be
put down to the fourth sand without an
additional string of casing.
The McKenna Oil Company are rigging
up to commence drilling a well on the Cof
fey farm, just north of the Baltimore and.
Ohio Eailroad track, to the west of Coffey's
Crossing. This is getting pretty far south
and as the well stands .on a line with the
Kobert Knox gnsher and the Cleland fail
ure, with the latter midway between and
from one-half to three-quarters of a mile
distant from each; the Coffey is re

For a Number of Valuable State Docu
ments Interesting Report of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth
WhntHe'd Liko.lo Have.
rsrzeuu, telxouam to thb dispatch. i
Hareisbdeg, January 1. The Secretary
of the Commonwealth has prepared a very
interesting report. It shows that sinde Jan
uary, 1887, there have' been issued 4,592
commissions to civil officers, 432 to military
officers, and that 407 railroad and coal
and iron policemen have been ap
pointed. During the same period
there were 1.12G charters issued to
corporations of all sorts, not including rail
roads; of this latter kind, there were 184
issued in various shapes. There were. 135
requisitions; 10 death warrants; 19 respited;
47 pardons and 3 fines remitted; 18 pro
clamations were issued, besides various cer
tificates. The Secretary complains of want of
space and want'of help in the performance
of the great labor of the office, and calls at
tention to the fact that original papers of
great interest and value are loosely de
posited in the office of the Deputy Secre
tary, and are being worn out by con
stant handfog, and are becoming .illegi
ble by Exposure to light and
otherwise. Among them are the deed from
James, Dukeof York and Albany, to Penn;
several deeds from certain Indian chie's for
the purchases made from them; the agree
ment between Lord Baltimore and Thomas
and Richard Penn, settling the boundary
line between Pennsylvania and Maryland,
and many other documents of little less
vaiue or interest.
There is also stored the original charter
from Charles II. to William Penn; the wax
seal from the old charter, now broken and
liable to destruction and loss; the volumes
of the early provincial laws, some of which
have become too badly decayed for further
handling.
These, like all the archives of this depart
ment, which embrace all the official recoids
of the laws of the State and colony, and the
official acts of the Governor, are kept in or
dinary wooden cases, in a building that
makes no pretension to being fireproof; and
in case of a conflagration, the inevitable loss
would be beyond any possible measure or.
estimate.
A SUBSCRIPTION LIST.
now an Office Clerk of a Newspaper Got
Into Tronble.
Detective McKelvy was at the "Union sta
tion last night with James L. Sansom, a
deaf mute, who was wanted in New York
City for stealing a subscription list from the
office of Fnnk & Wagnall, publishers of
the Voice, a leading prohibition paper of
the country. The detective turned Sansom
over to Robert J. Cnddihy, the business
manager of the company, who took the
prisoner to New York.
Sansom, it is stated, was persuaded to
steal the list by a rival publishingcompany,
who paid him for doing the work. He was
a clerk in the office of the prohibition paper
and had no trouble securing the list. Two
other clerks in the office, it is alleged, were
in the scheme with him and one of them
informed the proprietor. Sansom heard of
the confession, and immediately disap
peared. He was heard from in Mononga
hela City, and Mr. Cuddihy captured him
in that place. On the train he gave his cap
tor the slip, and escaped.
Sansom then went to Braddock, where
Sergeant Madison captured him yesterday
morning. He was brought to his city, and
turned over to Mr. Cuddihy.
The prisoner is a deaf mute, and it is said
was induced to steal the list by the offer of
a large sum of money. The list was valued
at about $17,000, and its whereabouts is un
known. I1IPK0Y1NO THE PLAZA.
The Lake Erie Itnllrond Doing Its Duty by
CoraopoIIs Sqanrely.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway
Company is improving the plaza of Coraop
olis. Some of the Iowlanders in the town
cannot tumble to the necessity of drainage;
but they seem to appreciate the advantage
offilling-up notwithstanding the fact that
the majority of them profess to be Prohibi
tionists. It is a relief to be able to get out of the
mud, however,once in a while, even if one's
tastes are aquatic, and now that the people
of the borough can walk several miles on
dry ground at all seasons of the year they
begin to appreciate that something more
than mud scows are necessary to the fnll
appreciation of nineteenth century civili
zation. Gum boots will not always supply the
place of pavements, nor lanterns that of
street lamps.
SE3IPLE---BAKEWELL.
The Ceremony Is Pleasnntly Celebrated at
Sewickley.
The marriage of Miss Lida Semple, of
Sewickley, and Mr. Dale Bakewell, of Cali
fornia, was pleasantly celebrated last even
ing at the residence of the bride's father,
Mr. Frank Semple, at Sewickley. The cere
mony was perlormed at 6 o'clock.
Only the relatives and the immediate
friends of the contracting parties were pres

ingly pretty. A wedding supper was served
during the "evening. Gernert & Guenther's

Mr. Bakewell was. formerly a resident of

Western home last evening.

DR. GEEEN KEEPS COOL
Says the Snit Against the Western
He
Union Amounts to Nothing!
New York. January t Dr. Norvin Green,
President of the Western Union Company,
says his corporation is not disturbed by
the action brought by Attorney Gen
eral Kirkpatrick, of Pennsylvania, to
forfeit the property of the Balti
more and Ohio Telegraph Company, recently
purchased by the Western Union. The ground
of the action is an alleged provision in the Bal
timore and Ohio charter against the consolida
tion of that company with another or the sale
to a competitor.
Dr. Green says the two companies have not
been consolidated, tbat the Western Union did
not bay the portion of the Baltimore and
Ohio's line operated nnder tbo Pennsylvania
charter, and that the United States laws, and
not the laws of Pennsylvania, govern the case
anyway.
MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE.
A New View of this great Question which
shows how Ladies may retain the Love of
their Husbands.
No woman who is unattractive in person,
mind, or disposition can hope to interest or bold
men. Bad complexion, dull eyes, a listless
nature never did or can attract mankind. On
the other band bow many women with clear
skin, beneath which the blood can be seen throb
bing with health, bright eyes and life and ani
mation in every movement, make the world a
blessing to their hnsbands, brothers, lovers or
friends. The secret of clear skin, bright eyes
and animation is good circulation of the blood.
When the blood is slow tho person is stupid.
Keep the blood'moving. But how? There is
only one way and that is to help Nature by a
gentle stimulant.
Exercise is asplendid stimulant but it is almost
impossible for ladies to take the kind of exer
cise tbat will produce health and beauty. But
the blood must be kept moving, and the dis
covery which has done more to add health and
beautv than any other known cause is Daffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey. This great remedy stimu
lates healthily. It is not an intoxicant. Thou
sands of women who were once tired, depressed
and discouraged are now in perfect health and
beauty entirely through its' use. Many promi
nent temperance ladies have given it their
hearty endorsement, and clergymen and priests
in every prominent city use and recommend it.
Great care should be shown in buying only
the genuine, for no other bottled whiskey nas
the wonderful qualities which aro possessed by
Duffy's.
When ladies are kept bright and attractive
and husbands are considerate and kind, few
marriages will be a "failure." ja30-w
