to-day. Montooth has only to keep quiet
to get second place, and the .Major is

. Haebisbubg, June 21. Delamater's
friends struck a decisive blow to-night when
they broke the Philadelphia delegation.
This is alleged to have knocked one of the
principal props from under the Hastings
wigwam and materially strengthened the
Crawford county house. It assures Dela
mater's nomination not later than the sec
ond ballot of to-morrow's convention.
The Philadelphia delegation has all along
been the bout of Hastings. Mayor Filler
has carried it day by day untouched and
compact for the Center county candidate in
spite of Quay's intercession for individual
decision on the part of the delegates, yet it
was frequently hinted that Filler's control
would not be strong enough to take the 30
out of the 39 delegates into the convention
for Hastings after they had slept a night in
Harrisburg.
Quay Controls the Delegation.
The events of this evening prove this pre
diction to have been true. The Philadel
phia delegates met at 8 p. m. in the State
House. The pnblic supposed it to be a
caucus to test the Hastings strength. Officers
were elected and State Committeemen
named, and then a motion was made to
adjourn.
Private Secretary Beitler, of Mayor Fit
ler'a office, was just about submitting some
paper from the Mayor in regard to passing
resolntions for Hastings, but the motion
to adjourn was carried. That alone
was counted by the Delamater people as
the best evidence of a friendly feeling
toward him by the Philadelphians. They
argue that had they been very anxious to
stick to Hastings they wonld have caucused
for him, but they avoided ashow of strength
in order to leave them free-footed for to
morrow. Manifest Sign, of Treachery.
Dave Lane, one of the political leaders of
the Quaker City.understood to be a Hastings
man, appeared in the meeting with a Dela
mater badge on his coat. A few of the other
delegates wore Delamater badges. After
the meeting these facts created a sensation.
Delamater men claimed that al
though no poll had been taken at the
meeting they were sure of 25 delegates from
Philadelphia, giving Hastings only 14.
This is probably an extravagant claim.
More reasonable men in the Delamater
camp said the split meant only 24 Phila
delphia rotes for Hastings instead of the 30
they had expected, and 15 for Delamater.
On this basis they claimed they would
have from 85 to 90 votes on the first ballot,
and there being 103 required to elect, they
would easily gather the remainder from the
field on the second ballot
cAt 11 o'clock I talked to Secretary
Brown, of General Hastings' headquarters.
He said they still expected 30 Philadelphia
votes. General Cobura, one of the mana
gers of Hastings' campaign, told me that
the General would lose no ground in the
Philadelphia delegation for reasons which
ne Knew, but could not state.
That Wonld Kettle the Fight.
-He, however, admitted that if the Phila
delphia delegation should slip away it was
all up with the General, but he anticipated
no snch slippings. He intimated that
Hasting's friends would surprise peo
ple by some things at the con
vention and once more expressed
his confidence in the situation. At mid
night the supporters of Hastings made the
HUu..j oeepinC ciaim that they would
count 29 Philadelphia votes in the conven
tion, and it is said Collector David Martin
so telegraphed Mayor Filler.
I asked Major Montooth awhile ago for
his final estimate of his strength. He said
VDstill have 30 votes that I know nf ti- J
;giay nave been accessions to-day to this but
jgip,not know of them in here. I feei aK
swell aatisnea with my canvass as I have
1 WW .
'Ton are still a candidate for Governor,
Major?"
Tea, sir," he replied.
"And not for Lieutenant Governor?"
t "I am a candidate for first place on the
ticket," answered Major Montooth. "That
is all I am thinking of at present. I am
here for the purpose of pushing my claims
for Governor. I am not bothering about
anything else until that is settled."
In Con.nltallon With Andrew.
At midnight Major Montooth spent fully
a quarter of an hour in State Chairman
Andrews room on the other .side of the
Lochiel. It was said the conference was
about "admission tickets for the Major's
friends, but as a gentleman put it, "that was
an awful long time to spend in simply talk
ing about the tickets."
It need not be a surprise to anybody to
see Montooth eventually made the nominee
for Lieutenant Governor on the Delamater
ticket. A scheme is on foot to nominate
either Montooth or Hastings with a rush
and a hurrah to-morrow, withont con
sultation or consent Everything
pomta that way to-night. Major Montooth's
own statement to me wonld seem to imply
that he first wishes to fight squarely ana
fairly for first place. After that is settled
on its merits and he is defeated, of course he
would be free to consider any other con
tingency that should arise.
Viewed in this light the action of tha Al
legheny county delegates, in their meeting
this evening, in deciding to vote for Mon
tooth for Governor nntil there is a nomina
tion, would not conflict at all with the after
plan to nominate the Pittsbnrger for second
place.
nnsllno Willing; to Flay Second Fiddle.
It is said Hastings himself would willing
ly accept the second place if he should be
defeated for first, and the other should come
to him in such a spontaneous and unanimous
manner. But acceptable as he would be
to the party leaders Montooth is the pre-
lerrea man oy the same leaders because they
believe harmony demands it Thev still
are anxious to conciliate Pittsburg and Al
legheny for the nomination of Delamater if
it is successfully accomplished.
Of course all this trafficking in the sec
ond place is just a trifle unfair to Martin
Watres and Passamore, who have been
making a recognized canvass for months for
Lieutenant Governor. Bnt that verv rare
quality in politics, "harmony," calls for
many sacrifices among its devotees.
Candidate Stone and Candidate Osborne
wound up their quiet little canvasses to
night with the usual estimates 15 dele
gates for the former, nine for the lat
ter. There is a story to the effect that,
in the event of a protracted struggle for
the first place on the ticket in convention
that Mr. Stone will ie chosen as a com
promise candidate. This seems to be the
general impression, and one that gives satis
faction. Bumors of a Combination.
Early in the day General Hastings, Mon
tooth and Congressman McCormick held a
consultation, and there were rumors of a
combine in which the fieR would inmn to
Hastings on the second ballot Some of
the Philadelphia men S3yifthis is done
they will consider themselves free to
act as they please and will vote for Dela
mater, which weakens the combine at once.
It is said to-night that one of the surest
signs of Delamater's strength is the fact that
the Allegheny county delegation will be al
lowed to vote for Montooth on each ballot
This means that Quay, while counting
from 1 to 12 of the 16 men from Allegheny
county as wflling to obey his call if he was
to give it, will not need them to nominate
Delamater. He has enough with
out "Walter Lyon and the rest of them.
Senator Qnay did not come to Harris
burg. His son Dick, however, is here as a
proxy delegate from Beaver county, holding
Colonel Sam Moody's credentials. This
afternoon an attempt was made to influence
country delegates for Delamater by telling
them that Dick Qnay had brought orders
from his father that Delamater must be
selected. Thomas J. Stewart will be nomi

The Hastings Boomera Show Dp.
About noon the Hastings clubs began to
arrive, the first division being a most im
posing body of men, in high white hats and
with handsome badges decorating their
breasts. This divisions included delega
tions from Bellefonte, "West Chester, Al
toona, Tyrone, Huntingdon and other towns
along the Juniata. The Lebanon
clnb, about 100 men, is commanded
by George D. Boss, who is a warm
Jriend and supporter of the .Center
county candidate. There are also Hastings
clubs and delegations from Pottstown and
Carlisle. A large club arrived from Lan
caster about 11 o'clock and cheered vocifer
ously for Delamater and Martin. Senator
"Watres, the popular Lackawanna candidate
for Lieutenant Govrenor, led the Central
Bepnblican Club ot Scranton this afternoon
with 150 members to do its level best for
him, and the Scranton people will be rein
forced by delegations from Wilkesbarre,
Carbondale and other points in the coal re
gions. Secretary Stone is not making much of a
splurge on the demonstration business, but
his friends are sawing wood with an indus
try that is commendable. In addition to
those named are the Edwin H. Fitler Asso
ciation, of Philadelphia, Chester County
Delamater Club and the Osborne Club of
400 from Luzerne. '
The city blazes, with red fire to-night,
rockets are shooting skyward by the hun
dreds and roman candles send their fitful
flashes over the house tops on every princi
pal thoroughfare. In finite of the rain thnt
is falling and the lightning that is unusually
vivid, the night is one of political glory and
and spectacular sights.
A Big Delamater Demonstration.
The Delamater clubs had prepared early
in the evening for a grand demonstration at
quse. At was arranged in three divisions,
officered as follows: Meade D. Detweiler,
Chief Marshal; George Kunkel, Chief of
Staff; Assistant Marshals, John "W. Bing
land, Ed Feisley, James Delansy, "W. H.
Brenneman. Alfred T. Black, A. Koenig,

"Win. Crownshield, Boss Coover, Charles
Andrews, S. C. McDowell, Linn Hartranfr,
Charles P. Ettla, George E. Vickers, A. P.
Shenck.
A similar street parade was planned by
the Hastings clnbs from Bellefonte, Tyrone,
Altoona, Huntingdon, "West Chester, Lan
caster and other towns. It was to go to the
depot and escort up town the "White Bose
Hastings Club, of York. Dr. James Dale
was chief marshal of this line. Both
parades started at about 830. For the next
three-quarters of an hour Harrisburg was
pandemonium itself. Delamater's line had
the numerical strength, but Hastings'
legions had the strong lungs. Delamater's
line was lengthened by the addition of the
various Passmore and Martin clubs and the
Penrose Club, of Philadelphia, but un
doubtedly Hastings' clubs exhibited greater
enthusiasm and aroused more applause.
The two processions marched and counter
marched until they got tired. Frequently
they wonld meet at the Lochiel Hotel.
Then the Delamater men would pass down
Third street, while Hastings' would con
tinue straight along Mirket. Fireworks
furnished by the two candidates were shot
off on both sides of the hotel.

Dunbab, June 24. The Hill Farm mine
still holds its 31 prisoners with a cyclope
dean grip. "Get the men," is the cry, and
"why don't they get them?" is the query
being raised in every quarter. The rescuing
parties are working manfully, but to-night
the miners could give no hope of an imme
diate rescue.
The truth is that the Hill Farm mine has
not been reached, as they supposed this
morning. The men are still pursuing their
painful way through piles of "gob," every
now and then striking a little coal which
deceives them. Those on the outside are
becoming frantic with the terrible suspense,
and, for lack of somebody else to jump on,
blame the engineers for not giving the
proper cause. A great many people agree
with them, and they demand to be told the
objective points.
HOPE STLL ENTERTAINED.
These charges have been made so often
that apparently it would be well to call
other engineers of reputation to lend their
assistance. In snch an emergency men
should stop at nothing to attain the mnch
desired end. If the men are all at sea In
side, as some declare, they shonld be put
right while there is ret hope that the en
tombed men may be alive. If the air is not
impure and they have not been killed, there
is still no reason to believe that they are
aeaa.
The opening struck this morning, which
the miners thought was the Hill Farm pit,
was anything bnt that. "Said Inspector
Evans this evening: "I think we are fust
on the line now, and we were not in the
Hill Farm before. 1 feel sure that by to
morrow or the next day we will know some
thing definite."
The proposal of District Master "Work
man Kerfoot to call a convention of the
miners in the region raised a furore. The
inspectors in charge of the work were wroth,
and Mr. Jenkins in particular used some
sharp language in talking to Mr. Kerfoot
about it
by the Executive Board of D. A. 4, K. of

Haekisbtjeg, June 24. There was a
striking scene at the Lochiel Hotel this aft

Young Men's Tariff Club and Americns
Club, were marched up Market street from
the Union depot. They haa arrived 20
minutes before. The Montooth Brass Band
in front was playing "Hail to the Chief,"
and behind them the line was headed by
General A. L. Pearson and Colonel Allen.
In the next rank marched "William Flinn'
Captain Batchelor, Sheriff McCandless',

the second rank followed H P.Ford, Coun

to the marchers. Several rousing rounds of
cneers were given.
Fhllndelphln Clubs for Delamater.
Immediately behind came the Penrose

band. Their banners floated Delaaater's
name to the breeze. As they came up Sen
ator Delamater sopped ont on the othe'r end
of the same balcony to acknowledge their
plaudits. At the same time the Montooth
Club countermarched to the side and started
back toward the hotel. ,
The movement created some confusion
and Major Montooth, with his inherent gal
lantry, quickly stepped ont ot sight, so as
not to detract from the attention which

the distribution of the surplus in the

Secretary "Watchorn, of the United Min

he went down to the face, where he intends

In contracts the bnyer, which in this caso

In all of these points which have been re

to a large majority of the members of the

As was reported in these telegrams several

advisable to report it at once.
The truth is, a quiet canvass of the anti
free coinage men has been in progress since
Saturday, and the leaders of the movement
agains't free silver were satisfied last even
ing they bad a majority and could safely re
port the bill. It is considered to be quite
certain that the vote to-morrow will support
the committee and that the Senate amend
ment will not be conenrred with.
AN IMPORTANT FEATURE.
Then Speaker Beed will appoint strong
anti-lree coinage conferees, aniinterest will
center in the appointment of the conlerees
by the President of the Senate. Naturally
Mr. Morton is supposed to tiympathize with
the Secretary of the Treasury and the bank
ing element, but whether he will have the
conrage to appoint conferees who will op
pose Iree coinage and act in harmony with
the Honse conlerees, in view of the solid
majority for free coinage in the 8enate, is a
waucr oi cooiecture.
Many think that he will ignore the gen
eral vote of the Senate and be guided by
the fact that more than two-thirds ot the
Bepublican Senators were opposed to free
coinage and select the conferees accordingly.
If the latter course be adopted the confer
ence will be short nnd the report will be an
agreement to eliminate the vital part on the
Senate amendment The Honse will doubt
less accept such a report at once but the
Senate may instruct its conferees to insist on
the adoption of the amendments and so pro
long the fight
CAMERON'S POSITION.
Senator Cameron takes the criticisms
heaped upon him with great good humor.
He declares thatie acted only after due de
liberation, and because he was thoroughly
satisfied that the most liberal treatment of
silver would be of the greatest benefit to the
country.
Soon after the House assembled to-day
Mr. McKinley, from the Committee on
Bules, reported the following resolution:
Besol ved. That immediately after the passage
of this resolution the House proceed to con-

The question was further aK ed by
Messrs. Kelley, Struble. Whefer and
Bartine, the latter stating that he felt it his
duty to vote for any measure that pointed
in the direction of free silver. It is not
probable that any of these able speeches
changed any votes, and the question will
go to vote with the lines closelv drawn.

A STRINGENT MEASURE.
CHANGE MADE IN THE ORIGINAL
PACKAGE BILL.
It Will Now Cover Olromirgnrlne and All
Other Prohibited Articles The Only
Proviso I That No Discrimination Shall
be Made Agnlnst Non-Reildenn.
Washington, June 24. The House
Committee on the Judiciary, after having
under consideration for four meetings the
Senate original package bill, has decided to
report to the House in its stead a substitute
agreed on by the committee this morning,
with one dissenting voice. It is broader in
scope than the Senate bill, inasmuch as its
provisions apply to all articles of inter-State
commerce, whereas the Senate bill only ap
plies to intoxicating liquors. The substitute
is as follows:
Whenever any article of commerce is Im
ported into any State from any other State.
Territory or foreign nation and there held or
offered for sale, the same shall then be subject
to the laws of snch State, provided, that no
discrimination shall be made by any State in
favor of its citizens against thoso of other
States in respect to the sale of any article of
commerce, or in favor of its own products
against those of like character produced in
other States, nor shall the transportation of
commerce through any State be obstructed ex
cept In the necessary enforcement of the health
laws to such state.
Bepresentative Beed, of Iowa, will pre
prepare the report on the bill and Bepre
sentative Adams, who voted againt the bill,
will probably make a minority report

Washington, June 24. President Har
rison's latest veto, that of a bill to authorize
an Arizona county to issue railroad bonds, is
likely to become one of the sensations of the
day. A vigorous effort is to be made to pass
the bill over the veto, with fair prospects of
success, a large number of Bepublican votes
having been already pledged for this pur
pose. The men who are here urging Con
gress to override the veto make some start

allege that the bill in question was vetoed by
President Harrison at the request of C. P.
Huntington, of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, and that Huntington reached the ex
ecutive ear through General George B.
Williams, of Indiana, who is known in
Washington as the President's closest
friend, and also as the regularly retained
attorney of the Pacific Railroad.
The bill had passed the House almost
without opposition, and the Senate by only
three dissenting votes. There was such a

Dunbar, June 25. Mr. Robert Watch
orn.Secretary of the National Miners' Asso
ciation, at 12 o'clock has just returned from
the mine. He spent four hours there and
was accompanied by Peter Wise, of his
order. Mr. Watchorn will remain
until the men are found. He said:
I came here at the request of the President
of our order. I had heard the rumors con
cerningtbe delay of the work. I questioned
District Master Workman Kerfoot and others.
I have gone over the maps with the inspectors
and the engineers. I havo been down four
hours with the inspectors and Peter W i.e. and
measured the distances according to marks on
their maps. They made as straight a line from
the place where they commenced to draw it
over as it was possible for them to make. The
work is ot the most difficult character, and
dangerous, too, and the distanco they have
gone is simnlr marvelous. T am fniitr nn.
vinced that everything that skill and energy
can do has been done, so much so that if I had
relatives entombed I wonld not find fault with
ino-e naving tne work oi rescuing in hand.
While I was in there I dug out two posts and
some rails, which lay athwart the way tbey are
driving. It only requires a person to seethe
astonishing work done to be convinced. I
went in the mine f ally prejudiced. The picks
don't stop for a moment. The men could not
dig harder if they were digging for their wives
and children. The engineers are doing right.
It is nonsense to talk ot cutting away the hill
over the Farm mine. -1 don't think any of tbe
men will come out alive. If the greatest care
and skill is not used, there will be a second
catastrophe.
Inspector Black said if he saw the slight'
est danger he would stop operations rather
than run lurther risks of those who are in the
rescuing party. "This plan adopted by the
inspectors is the only possible one to reach
the entombed miners. I do not think the
men will be reached this week."
This statement sets at rest all the talk
there has been among certain miners who
were dissatisfied.

FUI.Ii AND FAIR DEBATE.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, also deprecated
the practice ot controlling legislation exer
cised by the Committee on Enles. He said
that before the Speaker was Speaker he had
always been in favor of full and fajr debate,
but now he found it easier to do business
without it He feared that under this rule
the Coinage Committee would come in with a
cut and dried programme, which wonld pre
vent the House trom voting on free coinage.
Mr. McKinley said the purpose of the
resolution was to seenre definite and speedy
action upon the subject of silver, and he
was surprised at the opposition from the
other side. They had charged that the Be-
publicans would smother the silver bill and
prevent legislation. To-day he had given a
direct refutation of that statement The
Republicans had brought the bill back
almost at once. They invited the House to
concur or non-concur in tbe Senate amend,
ments.
The special rule was adopted without di
vision, and the'n Mr. Conger, Chairman of
me milage vummmee, presented the re
port of that committee. -It simplv recom
mended that the House non-concur 'in each
and all of the Senate amendments to the
silver bill and request a conference on the
same.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE BLAND.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, moved that the
House concur in the Senate amendments.
With these motions pending the debate be
gan, Mr. Conger taking the initiative. He
defended the action of his commit
tee, saying that it had reported a
wise and conservative measure. His
judgment had not been influenced by the
action of the Senate. That body had not
debated nor considered the bill it had
passed and sent back to the House. If tbe
bullion redemption features were stricken
ont, then the Government was placed in the
position of bnying gold and silver bullion
and paying for it in silver coin for that
was the only money provided for the nnr-
pose. Now free coinage rdeant that a man
might take $100 worth of silver to the
United States Mint and. take away (130.
It meant a profit of 13,000,000 a year
to the bullion owners of this country. It
meant that we should say to the world:
"Bring us your silver and we will give you
30 per cent more for it than you can get any
where else."
Xn conclnsion, Mr. Conger said he was
for some sort of legislation, and if it should
come about that there was no silver legis
lation, the responsibility would rest upon
tbe advocates of free coinage, because the
delay up to this time rested largely npon
their shoulders. They had an opportunity
now Jo secure legislation bv agreeing to this
motion.
NO SILVER LOBBY.
Mr. Bland knew nothing abont any
lobby. He had not seen it, and had never
heard of it except if it were called a lobby
for gentlemen to print documents, make
arguments before committees and give all
the information in their possession upon
this important subject. To that extent
Congress was always pursued by lobbyists.
The speculation in silver did not differ'from
speculation in iron and other products.
The only way to stop this speculation was

SPECIAL TZLIOltAlt TO THS DISPATCH.1
Ottawa, III., June 24. David Moore,
of Omaha, Neb., a widely-known traveling
salesman for the T. B. Scott Lumber Com
pany, of Merrill, Wis., was murdered and
robbed of nearly 512,000 in Allen Park, in
this city, last night He leit his hotel at
9:30 o'clock. Not UDtil his body was found
in Allen Park this morning was he seen
again. Little Mattie Brown, son of the
keeper of the park, was sent to look for tho
cow, and a moment later ran shrieking into
the house to alarm his parents or his dis
covery of a well dressed man lying in a pool
of blood beneath a tall tree, tbe head appar
ently battered to a jelly.
The dead man's clothing was in great dis
order, the pockets having been turned in
side out On the ground near him lay an
old-fashioned coupling pin covered with
blood and human hair. Up tbe hillside
was a woman's purse containing $2 05 and a
blood-stained handkerchief. The body was
identified as that of Moore, and taken to
the Clifton Hotel, where, after the blood
had been washed away, it was seen that hia
sknll was broken into fragments.
A HORRIBLE TRAOEDT.
The terrible wounds had been inflicted
upon the back of the head, each puncturing
the skull. The right temple was crushed
and the right side of the face beaten to a
pulp. When Moore was last seen he had a
fine gold watch, several diamonds, carried
SI. 100 in money, all but $140, which bad
been placed in an envelope and pinned to
the inside of his vest, was missing.
Police and depnty sheriffs were sent ont
in all directions to apprehend the mnrderer.
Finally Deputy Sheriff Beed noticed an ex
cited woman rnahing about in the vicinity
of the hotel. Becoming suspicious he ar
rested her. She proved to be Mrs. Ford,
the wife of a laborer. It was remembered
that she had been seen tearing a paper into
bits and casting it into the gutter, near tho
Court House.
gJThe bits were recovered, and being put
together by State's Attorney Blake, proved
to have been the maps of Moore's route.
The wdman was searched and a bloody
handkerchief was taken from ber. She was
placed in jail, and her hnsband, with his
partner, Calvin S. Crrr, was also arrested.
A COMPLETE CONFESSION.
The woman broke down and made a clean
breast of the whole affair, which has but lew
rivals in the State of Illinois. Moorr, it
appears, had met Mrs. Ford at tho north -end
of the Illinois, river bridge, and made
an appointment for a meeting at 8:30 o'clock
in the evening. She noted his fine apparel.
diamonds and watch, and believing him to
be a man of wealth, told her husband she
had a "snap" for him. Ther planned to let
Calvin S. Carr and Billy O'Brien into tha
affair, so that they might make a sure thing
of it
It was arranged that O'Brien should get
a girl named Minnie Wenderling, and that
while Ford, his wife, O'Brien and the
Wenderling woman walked across the
bridge at the appointed hour, Carr should
go down into the park and await them.
Toward evening Ford got an old-fashioned
coupling pin, and wrapping it up a in paper,
awaited the hour whin Moore came to the
meeting place.
Ford walked away and the woman beck
oned Moore to go with her. They went into
the park, and Moore and the woman sep
arated from O'Brien and Minnie Wender
ling. A moment later Ford rushed out
from behind a clump of bashes, and seizing
Moore, demanded that he either give him
$50 or suffer the penalty of death.
WOULD NOT BE BLUFFED.
"You can't bluff me that way," said
Moore, "I won't pay you a dollar."
Ford knocked him down, but in the scuf
fle which followed Moore was gaining the
mastery when O'Brien ran up and struck
Moore a terrible blow on the temple with
the coupling pin. Moore fell, but the men
continued beating him until they were sat
isfied life was extinct They then seized
the diamonds, watch and pocket-book, and
ran out of the park. When fairly out of
sight of their victim they began quarreling
about the spoils, O'Brien wanting tbe lion's
share and getting the pocket-book. Carr,
who had taken no part in the mnrder
other than an onlooker, was given the
watch, while the Fords took the diamonds.
Armed with tbe evidence furnished by
the woman's confession. States Attorney
Blake caused the arrest of the Wenderling
woman, and at 7 o'clock succeeded in bag
ging O Bnen, tbe wielder oi the coupling
in. The watch was recovered from Carr,
ut O'Brien and the Fords bad, up to. a late
honr, refused to divulge the hiding place of
the diamonds and money. Intense excite
ment prevails throughout the city, and talk
is heard that the bodies of the murderers
may yet adorn the trees.

Wheeling, June 24. In the Supreme
Court ot Appeals to-day a decision was
handed down in the case of Duffy and Mur
phy versus Hukill, on a writ of error from
the Circuit Court of Monongahela City,
which will be-of widespread interest to oil
operators, leasers and farmers npon whose
lands drilling operations are being con
ducted. Tbe decision has an important
bearing upon leases in oil and gas territory,
as, tending to settle the points regarding the
forfeiture of leases when the wells have not
been sunk within the specified time, nor the
rental money in lien of development paid.
In the case in point 30 acres ot land in tho
.Monongahela oil held was in controversy.
The land had been leased for 20 years,
which lease was on July 10, 1889, assigned
to Hukill. Then on July 11, Wise, the
owner, leased to Begin Calvert for 20 years,
who assigned to Gufly and Martin.
Hukill began operating on May 1, 1889,
and in November obtained large quantities
of oil. Hukill took possession and began
to bore for oil, with the knowledge and
consenfof Wise, the owner, acting on the
idea that the other lease had been forfeited
because of the operation of a clause which
declared: "A failure on the part of tho
lessee to commence operations or pay $133
