The Town Which Has Taken an Im portant Fart in English Annals SISCE THE TIME OP TEADITION. Exents of Religions as Well as of More Worldly Interest, THE rEKSECD!IO OP TUE HEBREWS IWE1TTES rOB THE DISPATCH.: The first thing you see in old York is the railway station. English railway stations hare always two sides to them. You cross the tracks by a bridge over, or by a tunnel under. On one side you take the train for one direction; the trains for the opposite direction stop at the other side, like the ele vated road trains in New York. But the station at old York has a characteristic of its own. The road makes a great bend here, and the station a great roofed structure of glass and iron is built around the bend. You go out o! the station, and the first thing w Inch you come to is wall, the old wall; built by the Romans, many times battered down and reconstructed since then, the last time in the fourteenth century. The rail way and the wall, the new and the old, stand close together. You cross the handsome Lendal bridge and pass the fine building of the Yorkshire Club, and just across the street are the ruins of an old monastery, and close by is an ancient multangular tower erected by Roman soldiers. Oneisconstautlyimpressedin York by this conjunction of old and new. OiU of wide streets, well-p.ived and lined with substantial modern shops and houses, you liuy turn into little, old, crooked by-streets and alleys, where even body walks in the middle of the road, and where the gables of the mediaeval dwellings nearly meet over the heads of the passers-by. People can almost shake hands across the streets out of the up-stairs win dows. The ancient and the modern seem to be lorcver shaking hands across the streets oi York. A l'lace or Historical Interest. The Islatu of Great Britain has suffered three great conquests. It has been conquered by the Romans, bv the Saxons, by tha Nor mans. In each ot three great revolutions, York has had a place. York has been a town of some importance lor nearly 20 centuries. The Romans, when they came, found some kind oi savage settlement upon the banks of the River Ouse, and proceeded at once to set a colony of their own in the place ol it. Agncola made York a fortified camp, and built walls about it. The Sixth legion, suruamed "The Conquering," was sent to be its garrison. Presently, the town became the pleasant residence of wealthy Roman families. There was rood society there, the brilliant young officers making a bright and agreeable feature of it. Peo ple like to live there Along the banks of the river, and amid the shade of the great trees, handsome residences were built and furnished with all the elaborate and beauti ful furnishings and garnishingsof rich Rome. That was seventeen centuries ago. To-day iou can see the mosaic of the old floors and broken pieces of the old frescoes and the jewels which the ladies wore, and the daggers which the gentlemen carried, and the stone coffins in which they were buried. I especiallv remember a little broken altar dedicated to Fortune. "What a significant nnd pathetic memorial ! That was the only god they had in those strange times. The old religions had beendiscredited and abandoned, and survived only in the super stitions of the people. They had an idea that prarer and sacrifice might somehow be connected with good luck. And so they set up altars to the deity which more than all ethers represented their idea of the Al mighty Father the cod, Good Luck. But bad luck seems to have overtaken them for all that: the little altar is battered and broken. But seventeen centuries ago all was prosperity in York. Roman emperors came up to visit the prosperous colony. Constantine lived and died here. And here it was that Constantine, his son, the first Christian Emperor, was invested with the imperial purple. Little by little the new religion found hearers in the barracks and in the ball rooms, and in the year tliree-hundred-and-something a Bishop from York attended a council in the South of France. Tcmporarj Defeat of Christianity. Then came the second conquest. The bar barians descended upon the empire, and all the legions had to be called home to fight. York was left without a garrison. Down came the Picts and Scots, and all that fair civilization came to an untimely end. From across the watercame the Angles and Saxons. Christianity perished inthestrusde. What ever churches had been created fell with the fail of the villas and palaces. Gradually ilnngs settled down. York became a bar barian capital, the chief city of Uorthum bna. It was from Yorkshire that the En glish captives came whom Gregory looked at with eyes of curiosity and pity in the market place of Rome. And when he sent Aucumne and the Christian mission was preached in the South, in Kent, in Ethel bert's kingdom, it happened that Ethel bert's daughter married Xorthumbria's Kins. And when the bride arrived in York she brought Iier chaplain with her. Bishop Paulinus; and so Christianity came into York a second time. Years went by, and Edward the Confessor was King over all United England; and niter him came Harold. But Northumbria objected. The union of all England was a new thing, and up in York they were all eager for home rule, if not for independent sovereignty: and Harold bad to go up there with a stout army to reason with his re luctant subjects, and to persuade them by dint of vigorous arguments with sharp points and sharp edges. And he had just succeeded, and had said his devout thanks givings iu the cathedral, and was sittinc at ajsplendid banquet in tbe castle, celebrating his Tictory, when in came a messencer, bearing evil tidings. William the Norman bad landed iu tlip South. Evert body knows the rest of that storv. Harold met defeat and death at Hastings. AVilliam be came King of Enslaud. The third conquest was effected. But Northumbria was re bellions still. William visited York, and brought his soldiers with him. But, once his back was turned, the men of the proud town shook their fists in his direction. Finally William took a decisive step. Ee laid all Northumbria in ruins, and turned the country into a wilderness. For years, from York to Durham, the land lay waste without inhabitant. But the city came to life again. Its houses were rebuilded; the new cathedral crowned the hill in the old place; and to-day a round tower remains of the new castle which William built, as a reminder of the third conquest. The Most Prominent Feature. The castle and the cathedral are the two most prominent buildings iu York. They both have shared in some singular and characteristic episodes in the history of the town. One of these was about the time ot the coronation oi Richard of the Lion Heart. First iu London and then in a score of other towns, the Hebrews were plundered of their goods, and were lucky if they escaped with their heads. The Hebrews of York fled to the castle, carrving their families with them, nnd whatever money and gems they could crowd into their pockets, and barred the great gates against the mob. Every Hebrew who lingered oa the wrong side of the castle wall was at once hurried out of existence. And the multitude of rioters battered against the solid stones. They laid seige to the castle. You stand in the quiet streets to-day and think about it How tbe mob yelled, and pounded, and flung stones, and swore their pious Christian oaths; and how a priest of the town, clad iu his sur plice, stood from morning to night in the midst of the crowd of savages, and shouted, "Destroy the enemies ot ChristI Destroy the enemies of Christ!" until a great rock", thrown Irom the top of the wall, struck him in the head. What a suddea surprise the next world must have been for himl At last it became evident to the beseiged that they were lost They held a council. The rabbi presided. 'Brethren," he said, "it is plain that it is God's will that we should die, but He leaves us a choice of the way. Shall we 'all by the hands of the Christians, or shall we take our lives ourselves?" It was a fearful alternative, but it had io be met They put the question to a vote, and a majority voted for suicide. A Deed of Desperation. They gathered their treasure together and burned whatever would burn, and buried what was lett They prayed their last prayers and said their last farewells. And then thev cut the throats of their wives and their little children, and of each other. Last of all died the rabbi. Then the gates were opened, and in rushed tbe zealous Christians. And when they saw that the Hebrews weredead,away they hurried to the Cathedral, and they got the papers out which were kept there in tbe treasury, which showed their indebtedness to their Hebrew creditors, and made a big bonfire of them on the stone floor and burned them every one. You sit down in the great nave of York Minster and remember about that; the red lieht of that old fire flashes against the gray walls, and you see that strange sight which no Christian church thank God! will ever see again. The world does move. Tbe congregation which assembled in the Cathedral the Sunday I was there was a considerable improvement over the men who made that mad bonfire of Hebrew bills. This island of Great Britain, wHich has tbricc been conquered, has twice undergone a general overturning of things religious; once at the Reformation, again at the Protestant Revolution; and this old town of York has had its part to play in both. A ruined hospital and aruined abbey are among the sights of York. The old cloisters are still standing where the convalescents walked in the sun, and you can see where the great "ward" was, with a little chapel at the end of it The Abbey church has a side wall left, and a pillar or two of the supports of the central tower. The ivy grows over the broken walls and arches, and the old church is still beautiful, even in its ruin. Bene dictine monks lived in this Abbey, and the abbot was one of the great men of the land. He was possessed of several fine country houses, and enjoyed a residence in London. When he traveled, a great retinue accom panied him. He sat in Parliament, and wore a mitre like a bishop, and was called "Jly Lord." When the Reformation came, they pnt an end to all this stately living. The monks were turned out, and the Abbey was pulled down. Some of the stone tbey used to build a church, some to mend a jail, some they put into a lime-kiln, heedless of the fair carvings and turned them into lime. A Famous Battlefield. Half-a-dozen miles from York is a famous battlefield tbe battlefield of Marston Sloor. Chartes and Cromwell were fighting for the possession of this town of York. And when Charles lost York, he lost England and his head. They say that Cromwell turned the cathedral into barracks for his soldiers, and broke out the stained windows, and stabled bis horses in the nave. These are the chief entrances of old York into the history of England. You walk about the old walls, and over or under the old gates, or along the ancient streets where everybody goes in the middle of tbe road, for lack ot sidewalks, and you see one of the queerest old towns in tbe world. And you can stop at every street corner and read a page of English history. George Fox was once imprisoned in the castle. "Guye Fauxe, 16 April, 1570," is an entry on the baptismal register of the church of St. Michael-le-Belfrey in High Petertrate. "Robinson Crusoe" ran away from York to enter upon his extraordinary adventures. Mr. Richard Turpin, also, honored the town with his occasional resi dence; somewhat against his will, however, whereof his leg irons ard waist belt (still to be seen) bear eloquent witness. And so many princes, and cobles, and heroes, and king's have walked these streets, that the stontest memory of the most intrepid tourist is dismayed. And saints, too, eminent and many; of whom somewhat next week, when I come to speak of the crowning glory of the town, its Archeniscopal Cathedral. G. H. FIA.MES IK A THEATER, The Bijou at Minneapolis Completely De stroyed. Minneapolis, Dec 28. The Bijou Theater of this city, one of tbe most prom inent popular price house.: in the entire West, was burned at 7 o'clock this morning, involving a loss of from 30,000 to $40,000. The building wai on Washington avenue, near Hennepin avenue, was owned by Lambert Hayes, of this city, and leased by Jacob Litt, who has also theaters in Mil waukee, St Paul and Chicago. The ori gin of the fire is not known and all that is known is that it caught somewhere about the stage. Tbe theater will be rebuilt at once and the melodrama, "The Great Metropolis," which was to have opened for a week there to-night, is playing in tbe Lyceum Theater instead. Mr. Litt is now in TJlica, N. Y., with his new Swedish Company, "Yon Yonson," which had its initial performance a few nights ago. Tbe insurance on the bnrned building was $39,000, including 52,000 which Mr. Litt carried on office furniture and furnish ings. Of tbe remaining insurance $25,000 is on the rear of the building, $5,000 on the front of it and 53,000 on tbe liquor and con fectionery stock. AFTER THE KIDNAPERS. Protection for Persons Who May bo Illeg ally Locked Up. New York, Dec 28. The new Anti Kidnapiog League's National Committee will to-morrow issue an address to the pub lic stating that many sane persons have been proved in court lately to be illegally imprisoned in lunatic asylums, and that such imprisonment is easily inflicted with out trial and hard to escape from. Tbey say that rich people whose property is coveted and persons whose spouses wish to get rid of them are especially liable to kidnaping. The committee asks all who know of such cases, and all who feel them selves in danger of such incarceration to write to their Secretary, MissC. C. Lathrop. SMALLPOX QUARANTINE. Houston Shut off From Other Eallroad Towns In Texas. San Antonio, Dec 28. The officials of the Southern Pacific Railway here de clare that when the Commissioners of Fort Bend county quarantined against Houston on account of smallpox, the railroad author ities were not notified iu any manner; even the station agents knew nothing of it Passengers arriving to-day report lively times at Richmond, Stafford and other sta tions in that section. Those who wished to get off were met by armed men who com pelled them to remain on the train. The mails were delivered. Brighten up; you don't have to plank down a fortune; you can get Salvation Oil for 25c 1,000 Ladies Umbrellas at Sacrifice Prices. Those that sold for $3 50 and up to $6 each, all reduced to $3.

Sensational Rumors to the Contrary Notwithstanding All INDICATIONS POINT THAT WAT The Week Will le an Important One for tbe Independents. EEPOETS FROM THE YAEI0DS FIELDS The bullish aspect throughout the field still prevails, and nothing of a marked character transpired during the week. In Butler county, at Harmony and Callery Junction, there is considerable activity. So far, however, there is nothing at either point, as demonstrated by the drill, to cause the producer any alarm. At Callery the Goehring well, while a good one, and which is reported to-night as doing 250 barrels, cannot be figured on as being tbe forerunner of a large production there, if onr judgment is guided by the history of past develop ments. At Harmony matters are too era bryotie to forecast future operations or de termine the calibre of the territory. On general principles, however, taking the history of the Hundred-Foot district into consideration, it would seem there might be another pool opened up here with moderate producers, the order of things and big wells not in it The monthly report shows there are 20 rigs up and wells drilling on less than 20 acres at this place. Another sensational report was circulated Thursdav regardine a well on the farm of Dr. Hoover near North Washington. The well was said to be mating 1,000 barrels a day, but upon investigation the rumor was found to be another mythical concoction of the "smart Aleck," or the interested lease speculator. In the old Bakerttown field matters in general remain very passive. On the Rob ert Jack farm the Chartiers Oil Company completed the only well this month, which is good for fifty barrels. During the present week several inside wells should reach the sand, viz.: Crawford No. 2,NaturalGas Company No. 5 and the new venture on the J. Richards farm. Thompson & Dale No. 2, McKinney, at Petersville, came in a good well, and according to pipe line reports is making 140 barrels per day. The Rader Oil Company were also lucky in getting a 130 barrel well on the William Bleakley farm. In the vicinity of Little Creek new work has greatly slackened up, which may be attributed to the want ot territory. On Big Creek but very few good wells have been brought in dnring tbe month. The best of the lot is owned by the Weber Oil Com pany and is good lor 125 barrels. On the Peter Rader, A. Shidemantle and J. L. Dambach farms there were completed several wells ranging from 50 to 75 barrels. The monthly report will also show a fall ing off in new work and production, the lattsrbeing most marked. For a wonder Butler county has passed through one month without bringing forth some sensation by way of a real gusher, and the average oil man has about come to the conclusion that the glory ot this famous county is fast departing. Several wildcat wells of considerable importance are in various stages of com pletion in Alleehenp county but from the presen't status it is but fair to presume they will have no depressing bearing on the marked Independent Producers on the Move. The coming week will mark important events in the history of the .independent producers' movement The average pro ducer is alive to the real situation, and the resnlt of concerted action is looked forward to with interest and anxiety. The outcome of the present uprising cannot be forseen even by the most shrewd leaders in the Standard rank and anionc the producers. It is said that just scuh a movement as the pro ducers are now engaged in has for some time been contemplated by .the Standard Oil Company. To circumvent the independent efforts and protect their vested interests they launched into the producing business on an extensive scale, bought out all the big pro ducers possible, beside sending emissaries into every section of the country, who leased up hundreds of thousands of acres of pros pective territory. It Is further stated that when the producers took the notion to go into business for themselves, the Standard would throw up the sponge and say to them, "We will no longer buy your oil in fact, we will throw up our franchise as a pipe line company." The Standard will further say to the pro ducers: "We have plenty of territory by which we can soon raise a production to meet the requirements of our business." The producers meet this line of argument by say ing that the Standard Oil Company could not should they operate every acre of their leases, produce enough oil to meet the re quirements of the trade, and that they were just a little fouled on the great possibilities of West Virginia territory. An oher important organization is talked of among the contractors. They, too, are realizing the necessity of a combination for the protection of their interests. It is claimed that this class of the oil fraternity have made but little'money within the last two years, and in this respect are about on a basis with the producer. Tbe new order as now talked of is to be a secret organization, in which each member can carry an insurance of $2,000. The plan as now con templated is to thoroughly organize the whole oil regions, and every district will have its lodge, with the grand "lodge at Pitts burg. News From the Fields. Wildwood The Barnsdall Oil Co. No. 3 Kress is drilling neir the top of the sand, while No. 4 is from 10 to 15 feet in, with no showing of oil. Their No. lis making ten inches per hour. The McDevitt & Co. well, on the Guyton Tarro, 250 feet east of the Rmgheisen, was expected to reach the pay late Saturday night Phillips, Craig & Co. No. 4, on tbe Smith farm, is drilling in tbe sand 35 teet. The first six days' production of this well was about 900 barrels. Their No. 3 is still fishing lor a broken bit. The production ot the Wildwood field is about 8,600 barrels per day. A Troublesome Job. Maes Station The Forest Oil Com pany, on the Kennedy farm, are having a troublesome job getting their casing tight A Report Without Foundation. McCtjkdy It was reported Saturday that another well had come iu in the McCurdy district, but upon investigation the report was not well founded. Mellon & Co., on the Palmer farm, near McCurdy No. 1, should, with ordinary luck, reach the sand this week. A Bole Foil of Brine. Chaetiees The Fisher Oil CompanyNo. 1, on the Dnffiarm. is in the 100-foot, while Poisoned by Scrofula Is the sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in tbe lymphatics, which are com posed of white tissue; there is a period of ftetal life when tbe whole body consists of white tis sues, and therefore the unborn child is espe cially susceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hered itary or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsapanlla. which by lu powerful effect upon the blood, ex pels every tiace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the qnality and color of health. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all drupcists. tl; six for 15. Prepared only by C. I. HOOD fc CO.. Lowell. Mass. 100 Doses One Dollar the Elcho Oil Company, located near the Lemau well, is in the'100-foot, with the hole full of brine. The Fisher Oil Company on Saturday was seven feet in the sand on the Myers farm. Un fortunately they lost 'a bit in the bole, for which" they are now fishing. They struck a strong flow of gas, which necessitated moving the boiler. The well is regarded as important in this section of the field. To Start Drilling Again. Bbidgevim-e The Fergus wildcat well, on the Wright farm, four miles southeast of developments, which has been shnt down on account of a burnt boiler, will start drill ing again on Monday. An Important Well. Jackson County The Augusta Oil Company's wildcat well in Jackson county, "W. Va., located on the Bruin tract, is drill ing in the bottom of the salt sand. This is a very important well and will bear watch ing. Good for 40 Barrels a Bay. Cobaopolis The Mellon well, on the Beggs farm, is good for 40 barrels per day. The Gaily Bros., on tbe machine shop lot, is good for 15 barrels per day. The ' Augusta Oil Com pany No. 1, on the Curry farm, located one half mile sobthwest from the Neeley farm, is in and said to be good for 25 or 30 barrels. The best well in the field belongs to Mellon & Co. and is doing 100 barrels a day. While this territory as so far developed is not big, the wellsshow good staying qualities. A Very Fair Prpdncer Promised. Belmont Ackerly&Sammell expected to shoot their J. B. Green well yesterday. The well was showing up good at last re ports, and if glycerine has its usual effect it will make a very fair producer. Their No. 3 Charles Green will be due about tbe middle of this week, while their No. 4,same farm, has reached a depth of 1,000 feet These parties are numbered among tbe suc cessful operators of the Belmont field on the Ohio side. They have a large scope of ter ritory, most of which looks desirable, and thev already have a monthly production of 2,500 barrels. A Well to be Abandoned. McD.onaIiD But little interest is mani fested at McDonald at present The five inch casing has already been drawn out of No. 1. The same operation is being per formed with tbe six-inch, and the well will be abandoned; it was drilled to a depth of 2,500 feet. No. 2 McDonald made 12 inches in a 250 tank since the 10th of the present month. No. 3 McDonald, after being treated to a 40-quart shot, was not much improved in production, but there was a slight in crease ot gas. H. McC.
