WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1890V 3 "V&aJPSHsr" :vr" NEW OIL TERRITOKY In West Virginia Being Developed by Pittsbnrg Capital. RESULT OF A WILDCAT VENTURE. Csptain Moore Enthusiastic OTer His Xew Fonnd Gusher. KOT WILLING TO SELL I1IS BOXAXZl Captain "Jim" Moore, one of the best known men about town in Pittsburg, re turned from a trip to the new oil field in Ritchie county, West Virginia, yesterday. To say that the Captain is enthusiastic orer the prospects of that section is putting it mild. He is fairly boiling over with glowing reports of the territory, and says the excitement down there can only be compared to that which rnled the old oil country years ago. Some time since the Captain, who has had considerable expe rience in the oil business, went into partner ship with a gentleman named Allen, who lives in Buffalo, aud a well-known gentle man of Pittsburg, for the purpose of de veloping some territory in the State men tioned. Headers of The D'spatcii will remem ber that a few days ago an item was pub lished ic these columns to the effect that a big oil well had been brought in at Penns borough, Kitchie county. This was a wild cat venture on tbe part of the Captain and bis companions, and the first they bad made. CONSIDERED A GREAT STEIKE. In speaking of the well yesterday Captain Moore said: "Every expert who has seen the well declares that this is the greatest strike ever made in the State. We have plugged the well three times now, but every time she has blown out. X just received a telecjram saying that she blew out again last night. The Cow will be up into the thousands of barrels a dav beyond question. You never saw any thing like tbe excitement there is down there, btanaard Oil people, scouts and oil men gen erally from all parts of tbe country are flock ing in tbere. "We have already had offers for the oil 25 cents a barrel above the ordinary price from in dependent refiners in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Tbe samples that have been tested are pro nounced supei lor to an j thing ever strnefcm tbe btate, being of a better quality than that lound at fee Man's." "How mli territory have you under lease? ' "Well, vt e have one strip nearly six miles unz,which Is located on both sides if the Penn sylvania and Ritchie Railroad. You would have laughed bad you seen tbe oil men w hen they got into the territory. They were simply duuilounded to find r.s with so many leases, and actually accused us of wanting the earth. It things pan out as well as they look now, we will bave a little Dit of it before we get through. THEY DO SOT PEOPOSE TO SELL. "Our first venture is located on wbatis known as the Wilson farm. Mr. Wilson owns an eighth interest, and he was made a bona fide offer of 50.000 for it. but promptly refused tbe same. We bave also had some big offers, but do not -want to sell. We think we are strictly 'in it.' and propose to stay. We have a big gang of men at work building tanks, and will lav a line of onr own to tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, about three and a half miles distant. Are vou making arrangements to do more drillinc?" "Just as rapidly as possible. Timber is already on tbe ground for more derricks, and we will put down wells as rapidly as possible. "We drilled 1,817 feet for the one now in. Aside from our leases many more have been made bv various parties and rigs are going up all around us. To show you what tbe oil men think of the prospects. I will tell you of the F erguson farm that joins the Wilson farm. Ferguson was offered 51,000 down. $1 a month per acre for the farm and a quarter interest, with an agree ment that he should be paid an additional SLOCK) when tbe first IE-barrel well came in. This is as true as gospel." I "What is tbe nearest developed field to your" The nearest is at Cairo, aud tbe nearest well is seven miles distant." Tbe Captain tells some rather amusing stories of his partners, wbo are entirely new to rouch experiences of tbe oil country. They aU live at a small and modest farm bouse some distance from the scene ot operations, and do cot taKe very kindly to gum boots and country mud. The water down tbere is good, however, and by spring be thicks they will be rugged enough to eat bay. Tbe Captain will return to tbe field on Thursday to be absent for a long time. He was being numerously congratulated about towu y esterday. "Weakly infants, the mother's care and solicitude, are made strong by Mellin's Pood. It is rich in muscle and bone-forming constituents in the form which is adapted to their digestive powers. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. Substantial and Useful Gifts Are the Ones Most Appreciated.

A Coroner's Jury Holds Two Road Supervisors Responsible for THE DEATH OP ANDREW CAUGBEY. Prosecutions of tbe officers to be Hade bj Beceased'3 Fathor. COST OP KEEPING DP YERT BAD E0ADS Coroner Heber McDowell yesterday con cluded the inquest in the case of Andrew D. Uaugbey. The jury found that the man's death was dne to the negligence of Frank Bryan and William Gast, road supervisors of Stowe township. As a result, John Caughey, father of the deceased, will make the road supervisors answer to a charge of manslaughter in the courts. At the inquest, Jonathan Aiken, William Aikin, D. L. McGeary, A. P. Cleaver and a number of others of the best known resi dents in Stowe and Bobinson townships, testified that the road was in such a condi tion as to be a constant menace to life. One of them had seen men on the road fill up the chuck-holes with mud, into which the wag ons sank as soon as one of these places was strnck. THE COST OF A BAD ROAD. Frank Bryan, one of the supervisors, said about $7,000 of road taxes were collected each year. He said he had never been noti fied that the road was in bad condition, but be had not been over it since September. Another witness said there bad been a broken culvert on tbe road over since last April and tbe supervisors had been notified, but did not fix it The verdict returned was as follows: "An drew D. Caugbey, aged abont 9 years, came to bis death on Friday, December 12, 1S90, about 6 o'clock p. if... while driving a fonr-borse wagon through Stowe township, noar Cleaver's farm. From all the evidence, the jury find said acci dent was due to negligence on tbe part of Frank Bryan and William Gast, supervisors of said townsbip, in not giving proper attention to said roads, and wo recommend that legislation be procured making it compulsory unon all tax able persons to keep their reads in repair under direction of a road commissioner appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania." Immediately after the inquest John Caugbey asked legal advice on tbe matter, and wben he learned that the commissioners could be held criminally responsible, he decided to make a charge of manslaughter against them. Con cerning the matter Mr. Caugbey said: THE FATHER WELL SATISFIED. "I am well satisfied with tbe verdict, and I will have the people who allowed the roads to be in sucb a conaition pushed as far as I can. I believe tbey are responsible for the death of my son. bnt that is not all. The lives of every body wbo travels over these roads are in danger. We must make an example of these men." Coroner McDowell said the verdict was a good one. Said he: "In these days of rapid transit we roust expect violent deaths in the cities, but now, wben almost every month we are called on to inquire into the death of men who are killed on the country roads.it is appall ing, and it is time that some change be made in tbe method of making roads. I hope the Legis lature nill act in tins matter, for the present country roads are dancerous to life." The general road laws of the State plainly set foith the duties of supervisors, and hold them liable to indictment for negligence. Where loss of life has resulted from negligence on the part of tbe road supervisors tbe Supreme Court has decided tno sunervlsors were criminally responsible. The law also de clares it is not necessary to give supervisors notice to repair a road, the condition of the road itself being considered sufficient notice.

THOMAS DEEG AN. del-34 CHOICE PROPERTIES. mniTioi, lulus i It is our business to collect rents, manage and rent prop erty, look after taxes and mu nicipal liens. We Have Been Many Years in This Business, We ought to be, and are, better able to manage your property than you, yourself, just as you know more of your own particular business, than we do. We know how much rent the property should bring, and how and where to get good tenants for it. We have frequently found owners getting only about one-half the proper rental for their property. We issue thousands of our rent lists in season, daily, mailing them free to all applicants until they are suited. We make no charge for ad vertising your property on this list. We are responsible; any bank or "old citizen" will tell you all about us. Owners have as much diffi culty in collecting from some agents as from the tenants; fortunately there are not many such agents. If you own renting prop erty it will pay you to call on us.
