LEGISLATORS WILL SEEK A KEMEDI
The sub-committee of the State Itoad
Omniission will meet at Harrisbnrs on
TuesJay, December 9. 1890, for the purpose
ot preparing the draft ot an act of As
temblv forthe improvement ot public roads
and hichwavs in Pennsylvania. This bill
will be presented to the Legislature at its
forthcoming session in the winter.
The sub-committee appointed by the com
mission lor this work is composed of Messrs.
John G. .Foicht, Chairman, JIancr Dale,
"Westmoreland countv; Cyrus Gordon, Clear
field, Clearfield county; K. Stanley Good
win, Bethlehem, Northampton county; H.
3C. Sloan, Indiana, Indiana county; A. D.
Harlan (ex officio), AVet Chester, Chester
county; Charles i Ettla, Philadelphia,
Secretary.
This will be the final session of the Itoad
Commissioners. The general commission
will not he called together to hear the report
of the sub-committee, but that report will be
made out in two copies, one for the Gov
ernor and the other for presentation to the
Xecislature. "With each will be messaged a
copy of the propoed law.
OLD TACES MISSED.
It is unfortunate for the cause of road im
provement that two members of the Eoad
Commission, who were members ot the
House of Representatives at the time of
theirappointment, will not be among the new
members of the Legislature when it assem
bles in January. They were defeated in the
recent election John G. Foight, of Manor
Dale. AVctmoreland county, and John E.
Faulkner, of Bradford county, are the two
unlucUy gentlemen. Mr. Foight is chair
man of the sub-committee which is to meet
next month to frame a law, and had made
quite a stndy of the subject Being a
jarnier himself, he was able to bring to bear
on the matter an experience with country
roads stretching over many years. Mr.
Faulkner, ot Bradford county, was also full
of practical knowledge on tlie question of
road building.
The remaining House members on the
ISoad Commission are Dr. W. H. McCul
lough, ot Allegheny county; Johu L.
ShillitP, of York connty, and J. T. Griffith,
of MrKean county. They were all re
elected to the Legislature. The Senators
on the commission are A. D. Harlan, Chair
man, and Hannibal K. Sloan, of Indiana
county. The Governor's appointees were
David McCargo, of the A. V. K. E., of
Pittsburg; Mr. Gordon, of Clearfield county;
Superintendent 1L S. Goodwin, of the Le
high Valley Kailroad, and Mr. Downing, of
Cuester county.
THE NEW LAW.
All of these gentlemen have, at the vari
ous meetings during a vcar, contributed
ideas and plans for the draft of a law. These
were always referred to the sub-committee,
which at its meeting will digest everything
of this character. Although forthe start of
eome permanent road improvement law it is
not thought best by the commission to in
troduce a bill making startling innovations,
ret it is desired to have its provisions based
on good law and common sense engineering
principles. Therefore, no suggestion to that
tud has been thrown awav.
Complaints are comms to the members of
the Commission from all parts of the State
about the horrible condition of the roads.
even this cany in the season. The rain of
n month ago stirred up the mnd to such an
extent that wagon wheels were not long in
reaciiinc a hub depth in many places.
Commissioner McCargo, of this city, has re
ceived a letter iron) .1 well-known farmer
near Parnassus, in "Westmoreland county,
explaining the peculiar method by which
road repairs are attended to by supervisors
in one of the townships of that neighbor
hood. He will forward the letter to the
Secretary of the Commission. Secretary
J.ttl.i has carried on a tremendous lot ot
correspondence with farmers all over Penn
M Iranians to the conditions of roads and
the latest mcihods to improve them. He is
engaged at present in tabulating the replies
tor use by tue Commission.
INDUSTRIES AEE SCFrERIXO.
On several of the railroads centering in
Pittsburg the effect of bad country roads
lias been noticed already this year. The
amount of freisht received at the stations
nil along the line has diminished because
"the roads are setting bad" and teaming
becomes more difficult. A reporter of The
Dispatch, waiting for connections at a
Mnall country railroad station, quite re
cently, a told by the ticket agent that he
was leceivingon an average of three wagon
loads of freight per day less from the in
terior than during the previous winter.
"Farmers are waiting to see if the roads
will dry up," he said.
It that average of three wacon loads per
day at a sincle station would be kept up all
along that line, it would mean a big diSer
ence in the railroad freight business of
good-road seasons and bad-road spells.
Oil drillers from every section 01" Alle
gheny, Butler end "Washington counties
tend in reports of clogged operations on ac
count of the early embargo of mud this
year. The roads have been so niity the last
lour or five weeks that they have difficulty
hauling their lumber from the railroads to
the rigs. Teams are nearly always doubled
now, and in the more hilly sections they are
tripled.
SOME SOCIAL INCONVENIENCES.
The farmers wives have begun their last
round of calls prior to hibernating lor the
winter. "The roads are getting so bad,"
they explain, and at everv house they are
bidden sarewell until spring. Their forced
j-eclusion is onlv made bearable by one lux
ury, and that is a couple of dozen "nanks"
of Germantown yarn and a case of Pitts-burg-made
knittinc needles. Bad roads al
ways cause an overproduction of home-made
mittens and socks.
The country churches are beginning to
thin out in attendance, and, as the pastors'
salaries get lower and lower, they, too, will
cuss "the bad roads of Pennsylvania."
On the whole, the clamor for that sub
committee to frame a prettv stiff law on De
cember 9 is general all over the State.

What Mr. Slellon Knows of a Kansas City
31 uuicipal Sensation.
Mr. Thomas Mellon. Piesident of Mellon
& Son's Bank, yesterday made the following
statement to a Disi-atch reporter: "I see
by the Kansas City papers that an investi
gation committee has been appointed bv the
Council to investigate the charges o boodle
contained in an incline plane pamphlet
published in that city. I Intend to make a
lull statement of all I know about it, if
called upon to do so, but have not been noti
fied of it j et. It called upon I would go out
there, in case my health permitted, but just
at present I could not do that. I could
send my sworn statement, however, of all I
know.
"No money was used or paid to any ot the
councilmen, because I would not permit it.
But the story is too long to enter upon in
detail, and I do not care to make any state
ment if not called upon officially, or by
those having the right to require it. Be
sides, I hist yet be called on, and therefore
would prefer delaying any statement which
might seem premature."

THE OIL SITUATION.
LOW PRICES AND BAD ROADS ARE HAV
ING AN EFFECT.
Many Indications, However, Point to a
Better Market" In tho Near Future The
Latest Reports I'rom the Various
1'ields.
The past week has to some extent been
favorable to the producers and bull element
of the trade. There has nothing of import
ance transpired in this section of the field,
and the present indications are encouraging
tor a better market. The inflated reports
from the 100-foot district during the week
had a tendency to produce a depression, but
in no instance have the wild minors ma
terialized into a reality. Guskert & Steele's
No. 5 Humphrey so far has turned out a
bucbear, while the Jacob Dambach well
has been overestimated, both as to
production and its importance upon new de
velopments. The Roach Ran well Is scarcely
heard of any more, while the Jefferson Center
Oil Companv's No. 2 dry hole on the Konrumpt
tract and Hartman A Son's duster on the
Uyrely farm, both of which are located in the
Saxonuurg field near the former company's big
well, bas somewhat dimmed tho futnre pros
pects of this pool presented with the advent of
the famous cusber. The low mice of oil. to-
cetherwith the deplorable condition of the
roads, is to a considerable extent curtailing
operations. The production is also declining,
and. upon the whole, Butler county will in all
probability present a bullish report on the first
of the month.
From an impartial view, as Wildwood now
appears, it nonld but be natural to conclude
that this pool had reached its zenltn. To this
conclusion tbero is one objection offered and
that is the possibility of a further extension to
the southwest ot prolific territory. As pre-
ionsly noted in The Dispatch, the bis wells
in this section are steadily declining, and
within the last 43 hours have a decided drop
off. Gnffy & Queene and the Forest Oil Com
pany No. 2, Rolschouse SO acres, Is from 14 to
16 feet in the sand, and when drilling pro
duces y Inches, or about 11 barrels an hour.
Jennings fc Co. No. 3 Kretzer, at 20 feet in the
saud, found a small showing of oil, and shut
down to more out the boiler, and to-morrow
the well will be drilled in. Tho Kan
awha Oil Company's Vogel farm well
is drilling in the sand between
80 and 90 feet, with no further improvement
from our last report: It Is showing for from 10
to a 25-barrel v 'U The Keifer well is said to
be in the sand, with light showing of gas and
oil, and is again shnt down. Amm, Jennincs fc
Co. did not get their No. 5 Harbnsh in batur
dav. as was expected, but will do so Monday.
Patterson and the Forest will also get the tirst
pay to-morrow in their Young No. Z
The Mellon u ell, on the Scott farm, at Mans
field, will not have a demoralizing effect upon
the markets, unless it improves greatly with
deeper drilling. The well is about 12 feet
deeper in the sand from where the tirst
oil was struck, and is making about
100 barrels a day. The McCurdy is still
doing 400 barrels a day. The Fisher well, in the
Bridgcrille field, is not showing up very well.
There 1$ a light show of black oil In the hole,
and at present indications for a well are not first
class. The Hickman well, in the same locality
hasbeen tubed, and will be pumpedithe venture
looks liko a 20 nr 30-barrel well. The experi
ment well belonging to Gutty & Queene. lo
cated 2 miles north of bhjpsburg, is reported
In the &and, but the information on this point
is meager and not safe to gamble on. The pro
prietors just at this critical stage of the game
are not seeking newspaper notoriety, and pro
pose to know first what they have got before
the snap is given away. The impression left,
however. In discussing the new venture with
those who are connected with it is that it is
thought the third sand is no good. This fact
to other operators seems to convey altogether a
different story. H. Ma
G. A. H. MEMORIAL ON SUNDAY.
Col. J.B. Clark Post of Allegheny Remem
bers Deceased Comrades.
The annual memorial service of Col. J.
B. Clark Post 1C2 G. A. K., of Allegheny,
was held yesterday afternoon in Carnegie
Hall. It was in memory of the three com
rades of the post who died during the year,
Joseph Donaldson, of Company I., Sixty
seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers; Thomas
S. Dabney, Acting Assistant Paymaster
U. S. X., and Henry Bothwell, Company
G, One Hundred and Twenty-third Penn
sylvania Volunteers. Every seat in the
house was occupied and many crowded the
aisles and doorways. There were in attend
ance Patterson Post No. 88, Lysle Post 128
and the ladies' organizations connected with
these bodies. A squad of, picked men in
uniform from Nevin Camp 33, Sons of Vet
erans, acted as ushers. A choir oT 12 voices
led the music and Professor B. Mayer pre
sided at the organ. Three vacant chairs
draped in monrning occupied a place on the
rostrum.
The ceremony was according to the ritual
of the Grand Army, and after a chant by
the choir Commander Irwin opened the post.
The records of the dead were read by Ad
jutant John S. Nichol. The floral tributes
were offered by Past Commanders Scott,
Caldwell and Burchfield, in brief addresses
eulogistic of their deceased comrades. Chap
lain Munroe and the choir conducted a re
sponsive service and Ber. "W. J. Robinson,
D. D., delivered a most earnest and fervent
prayer. An address was made by Bev. J.
S. Hutsoc, of the post, who delivered a vary
strong lesson on the beauty of love of country
and selt-sacrince. Alter the hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Soul," the services were closed
bv the Commander.
A CONTUMACIOUS "WITNESS.
A Board of Trade Man Refuses to Testify in
a Railroad Case.
Chicago, November 23. Charles Conn
selman, a Board of Trade man, was brought
before Judge Blodgett to-day to show cause
for failing to answer questions before the
Federal grand jury, as to whether the Bock
Island and the Burlington have been

He refused to testify on the grounds that
it might incriminate him. The Court will
decide Monday.

CATARRH
Is a constitutional and not a local disease, and
therefore it cannot be cured by local applica
tions. It requires a constitutional remedy like
Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through
the blootf; eradicates the impurity which causes
and promotes the disease, and effects a perma
nent cure. Thousands ot people testify to the
success of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for
catarrh when other preparations had failed.
Hood's Sarsaparilla also builds up the whole
sjstem, and makes you feel renewed in health
and strength. All who suffer from catarrh or
debility shonld certainly give Hood's Sarsa
parilla a fair trial.
A Perfect Cure.
"I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for
the past four years at intervals. I was troubled
with catarrh, and the medicine effected a per
fect cure. I take it now vi henover I feel debil
itated, and it always gives me immediate
strength, regulates the bowels and gives an ex
cellent appetite." Levi CAMPBEIX, Parkers

Finding that I cannot give the necessary
amount of attention to two stores. I have de
cided to dispose of my Smithfield street
store and afterward give my entire atten
tion to the store at 3(j Fifth avenue. Both
establishments have large and complete
stocks of goods usually carried in first-class
jewelry establishments. The consolidation
of thetwo stocks would be too large for one
store, in consequence I have decided to close
out my stock at 533 Smithfield street, at
auction, and have secured the services ot
Colonel J. M. Eutherford, of Philadelphia,
as salesman. My stock is composed of over
$75,000 worth of strictly first-class watches,
diamonds, jewelry, silverware, clocks,
bronzes, etc This stock must be closed out
as quickly as possible. All goods are guar
anteed. I am not retiring from business.
After disposing of my Smithfield street
store, I will be located at 36 Fifth avenue.
Sales begin Monday, November 24, at 10 A.
