Gtaertl Sporting N.ws of the Day.
Now that the dog show is over the local
admirers of sporting events are turning
their attention to the great tournament
which commences in this city next Monday
afternoon. That it will lca great affair
there is not the least doubt, as it is for the
championship of the State A tournament
of this kind lias never taken dace m tbis city,
eo that it will ainong other things be a novelty.
'1 here is no branch of sport or recreation that
has mads more or as much pi ogress, in Pitts
burg during the last two cars as billiard play
in. It has become quite fashionable among
our wealthy citizens to have elaborate billiard
rooms in their 'residences, and this means that
the patrons of the game are increasing in num
ber at a very rapid rate. This is very pleasinc
because there is no game more refined or more
elevating than 'billiirus. In view of these
facts the coming tournament is snro to be
patronized byatcry large number of ladies
and gentlemen iho a car or two ago would
not have even given the mattera thought.
George Meyers, who is the chief promoter of
the tournament, has gotten arrangements all
completed. The interior of the Grand Central
Rink, where the tournament is to be held, will
be fixed up in a way that will be highly com
fortable to the ladies and gentlemen who will
witness the contest, and the seats will also be
arranged in a way that all the visitors will get
a good view of the tables. There will be 15
cames plaj ed: that is, three games perdavfor
three das. and two names per day durincthe
balance of the week. Mr. Mejcrs will pair the
contestants at the start, and it is likely that
llesrs. Clme, of Philadelphia, and Dodds, of
Pittsburg, will play the inaugural game.
TheFhilauelphiaplajers, .Messrs. McLaugh
lin. Harris and Cline, will arrive here to morrow
morningana will be located at the Monoucahcla
Houe. Of course, they will be in great form,
particularly McLaughlin, who has just finished
plasing in the Chicago tournament. The three
Pntsburiers. Mcs-rs. Uushirt, Walker and
Dmlds have been practicing steadily for the
affair, and Mr. Douds is playing in excellent
form. His friends think that he will make a
capital show in the tourney.. Messrs. Bushart
and iValkcr have been somewhat handicapped
in their practice because of not having a
suitable table. Their business has also been so
pressing ihat.they have been prevented from
devoting the necessary time to their practice,
but they expect to civc a good account of them
selves. The tournament is sure to add con
siderable popularity lo the very classical and
fashionable game.
CLOSED THE SHOW.
A Large and EnthusiHstic Crowd Sees the
Last of the Local Canine Exhibition.
After four extremely successful days the
local dog chow came to a close last evening.
Everj body connected with it seemed highly
delighted and no complaints could be heard.
The Committee of Management thinks there
will be a handsome financial balance as the
result of their maiden exhibition and they are
already looking forward to their next show
which they expect to be on even a larger scale
than the one ju-t ended.
The judges in the show just finished have
done their work well if the absence ot kicking
on the part of owners of defeated dogs is any
proof. There has really been no dissatisfaction
on tbis point, and that is a very pleasing
feature. Many of the dogs accompanied by
Ibeir keepers left the city last evening to at
tend oiher shows. The bAlanco of the dogs
will be taken aw.i to-day. It is worthy of note
that during the show tne local fighting dog Sul
livan has been a veiy great scourcc of attrac
tion. Thousands of people have crowded to
see this vers fine and courageous ten ier. He
has a great record, but he was not contesting
lor any prize. Up to the last minute of the
show there w-as an enthusiastic crowd around
the kennel of the costlr and noble SirBedivcre.
He will be long remembered by those who saw
him.
Although the weather was very inclement
yesterday the rink was crowded with visitors
all day. Prol. Parker and his trick dogs gave
three performarces during the day and were
greatly appreciated.
STJEFR1SED THE SPOUTS.
Burke's Strange Defeat by Pritchard Causes
the Talent to Talk.
IBV DUXLAr's CADLE COlir-AXV.l
London, March 13. Great disappointment is
felt in sporting circles over the defeat of Burke
in last night's encounter, with Ted Pritchard.
Tbey cannot understand how he came to be
whipped so easily, and say that he did not seem
to be the Burke of old dajs.
His friends supported lnm heavily, and even
when in training they were buoyed up by his
manner, which seemed to indicate that he con
sidered polishing otf Pritchard rather an easy
job. On the ither hand, rntcharu's friends
think him good enough for the heavy-wcicht
championship, argumg that Sullivan could not
stop Burke in five rounds while in the first
meeting with Slavin the "Irish Lad' fought a
draw in eight rounds. It is probable that
should be defeat Fnzsiiumons, Ted will take a
turn at the heavy-weights.
S'.avm backed Burke, and when he was
knocked out he tore up Burke's colors and
trampled them under Ins feet, Slavin's action
caused great indignation. Pritchard will fight
Bob Fitzsimmons for the championship belt in
any club in England or America that offers the
largest pure. Pritchard awaits Fitzsiminons'
reply. Burke admitted to-day that after fight
ing 13 j cars he had met his Waterloo.
SECURED NEW GEOUNDS.
Association Magnates Continue to Console
Thcuiseltei Down at Cincinnati.
SrECIAL TELtOUAM TO TUK DISrATCIt.l
CINCINNATI, March 13. The American As
socialioti magnates are one by one leaving the
ity. They claim that lhcj have finished their
?ork and that their proDects ire very encour
aging. To-day they claimed to have secured a
site for a ball ground, but the site is not very
well located. Billy Barnie will remain here two
w ccks to look after the interests of the Associa
tion, and there will probably be a lively time.
An Association magnate said this evening:
"We are in Cincinnati to stay, and we will have
a first-class team here. We can get all the good
men we uaut, and we mean to let the League
see w here it is w rong."
Despite the above it is generally understood
that the Association people think "they have a
hopeless cause heic. They cannot get a team
tnh Id its own against the old p!acrs. Mike
Kelly is also acting in a very mysterious wav.
Yesterday he received a telegram from Al
Johnson, and it is surmistd that the telegram
is advising Kelly to "keep his hands oil" and
get back into the League. At auy rate Kelly
has disappeared from the city. The Associa
tion outlook is very dismal.
To-Nlghl's GIoe Contest.
The scientific glove contest between Charles
Gillespie and Ed smith, of Denver, will take
place in the Palace Hmk at Bradaock this
evening. The contest will probably be one of
the best that has taken place in this vicinity
for a long time. It is to consist of six rounds
and both men are m excellent condition ac
cording to report, hinith comes here with a
great reputation and it will be Interesting to
sec how he fares with the sturdy coal digger
from Mansfield. The price of admission will be
low enough to give working men a chance to
see the contest.
To-Day's Team for rittshurg.
The Pittsburg Football Club will be repre
sented by the following team in their game
against the Eureka club at Recreation Park
this alternoon: Goal, Cyril de Wyrall; backs,
A. Mcpherson and George Macpherson; half
backs, Damson, Botes and Palmer; forwards.
Annesley, Child-, Woods, Smith and McEwen.
Captain Horn is unable to play, and Aleck
Macpher-nn will in all likelihood take charge
of the teaiu. '
Teemer and Ilanlan.
Toronto, March 13. There is a prospect of
& race between Ned JlaoUn and John Teemer.
The ex-Pittsbnrger has written that Lo accepts
Hanlan's challausc to row him at the Point of
Pines course. May CO, and If he defeats lilin he
will row any man liwug a three-mile rape. Han
lan has been advised cf Teemer"s proposition,
and all that now remains is lor them to post the
amount of stakes and sign articles.
SCHAIFEE'S LAST OFFEB.
He Is "Willing to Play Slosson In New York
for the Kmblem.
New Yoiik. March 13. Slosson received a
telegram to-day from Schaefcr advising him
that he will play him for the championship em
blem and the usual $300 a side if Slosson would
allow him $250 Jor traveling expenses, the
match to take placu between April 20 and May
L This seems to point to another contest in
this city between these, billiard experts, and if
no unforeseen obstacle intervenes it is likely
that the thousands of admirers of the game
may again be delighted with their coming to
gether. Nothing should occur to stop the
match, and taken in connection with the pro
posed balk-line tournament, which may take
place in this citv in Jlav under the supervision
of Maurice Daly, a crcat treat may be in store
for billiard lovers. Slosson says that he cannot
leavo his business now to go to Chicago to meet
the champion, and so in the interests of the
gaiie he may make all possible concessions re
garding traveling expenses and other matters
necessarily allied to a match.
JOEH TEKEB RELEASED.
The Chicago Club Allows the riitsbnrger
and liirlo to Go.
Chicago. March 13. The local club yester-
dayreleased Howard Earle. who was under
contract, and John Tencr, who was under
reservation, to the club. Earle has been wanted
by Minneapolis to play first base and captain
the learn, and unless some League club puts in
a bid far his services he will go there. He is
in excellent condition and will strengthen al
most any team. Tenet's ball days are about
over. Last jear he did not have speed enough
to fool anvbody, and as ho has a good position
in Pittsburg he will hardly dabble in the game
again.

(SPECIAL TELEGHAM TO THE DISrATCH.l
Jeannette, March 13. The high wind
that prevailed here all morning finally
turned into a hurricane which did a great
deal of damage in this and surrounding
towns. At the Fort Pitt Glass "Works a
fearful accident was caused by the wind
blowing down one of the walls. At about
11:45 this morning the workmen within the
building grew rather uneasy at the con
tinued trembling of one of the outer walls,
which grew more pronounced as the wind
increased. At the hour named, without
further warning, one of the walls iwas sud
denly blown down.
The following persons were taken from the
wreck: Daniel McCunu, leg broken and
liruised;Joseph Moore, one eye destroyed hy
a firing piece of 'timber; Harry Campbell, arm
broken, and otherwise bruised: Tom Lenharn,
feai fully burned by red hot brick from the
glass lurnace; Night Boss Eheriiea,thy, buried
under falling walls, and terribly bruised and
crushed. It is thought all will recover, unless
Mr. Eberneathy is internally injured, which is
hardly likely. Other damage luflicted by the
storm was in the way of fences, bill boards,
sheds, eta, which were blown down.
At Scottdalo considerable damage was done
by the storm that raged there tbis afternoon.
The roof of the casting house of the Charlotte
Furnace was blown otf and totally destroed.
It is feared that great damage has been done
in the outlying coke districts.
A dispatch from McKeesport says: A. wind
gale struck this town at 2 o'clock tbis afternoon
and blew about 49 miles an hour. The heavy
roof of the Winkievass tobacco factory was
lifted off the building and carried 100 feet
through the air, and it was deposited on the
root of another building. The big roof was
lifted off the building as if it was a feather, and
sailed through the airwith tremendous force.
Signs, shutters and anything else that could be
loosened were blown through the air. One of
the immense trees fell against a telegraph pole
strung with electric wires, which kept the tree
fiom crashing into a large business block. Re
ports from the country are coming in to-night
to the effect that several large buildings were
leveled to the ground.
THE HICELY CONSPIRACY CASE.
Warrants Now Out for the Father and Other
Relatives of tho Murderers.
Ifrr.CIAL TELEHRAM TO TUK DISPATCH. 1
Greensboro, March 13. The hearing in
the Nicely conspiracy and larceny case at
tracted widespread interest here to-day. The
defendants, Joseph Roach. Joseph Ambrose
and Buffs Shaffer were present, but Detective
Camp was unavoidably absent. Probably two
dozen witnesses were heard, the most important
for the prosecution being William Thomas, of
Ligomer. and John Hay. of Jennertown.
Thomas testified that the pocketbook given to
him by Joe Nicely on the clay ot tne arrest was
not the one produced at the trial. Hay swore
that Roach told him in Jennertown before the
trial that Roach had everything fixed and
would hang the Niceljs.
The defense, however, brought a dozen wit
nesses who contradicted the statements of the
prosecution. When Mr. Cessna accused John
Hay, a witness, ot being arunk, and hinted
that he was a fugitive from justice, a very
lively sceno followed, and Justieo Keener was
unable to suppress the fiery cminsci for tho
prosecution. Mr. Hay, in the midst of the bat
tle, accused Mr. Cessna of being a political
Hopper, and then Justice Kecno.- insisted on
order being restored. 1 he evidence agiinst the
defendants has not been very convincing. Tes
timony was produced showing there was no
monev in the pocketbook when Roach secured
it. The arguments will be heard in the morn
ing. Constable Reach, of Jcnner's Cross Roads.
Somerset county, has made information
against A. A. Nicely, father ot the doomed
boys; George Nirely and Watson Mennher, all
of Ligonier, charging them with being acces
sories alter tlu fact to the robbery of old man
Umberger, who was murdered by the Nicely
brothers, and also with receiving stolen goods.
The warrants for their arrest have been issued,
but w ill not be served for a day or so.
THE SCRAHT0K BLACKMAILING CASE.
Sutherland to Be Arrested for Violating; the
Postal Law.
FFICIAL TEL2QUAM TO TUK niSrATCKI
Scranton. March 13 Marshal Barring re
turned from Pittsburg to-day and some develop
ments in the Sutherland alleged blackmailing
case may be expected before lone. Barring
says he has a letter from the Post office Depart
ment at Washington, complimenting him on
his work, and stating that the department will
stick by him to the end. Yesterday Barring
appeared before the Quarterly Conference of
the Central Pennsylvania Methodist clinches at
Sunbury. and stated the case to the 150 minis
ters present, with Bishop Fowler in the chair.
The feeling against Rev. Mr. Donelioo for
settling the libel case, even for tho large
amount given him, was very strong, and the
Bishop stated that under no circumstances
should he have settled the case against Suther
land fora money consideration, butshouldhave
pushed the matter in tho courts. Mr. Barring
also stated that Mr. Sutherland was soon to be
rearrested and tried berore a United States
Commissioner for violating the postal laws, as
the postal authorires had decided to take a
hand in the case. There is certain to be a hard
fight for the 810,000 note which Sutherland
signed, and which was to be divided between
Detective Barring and Rev. Mr. Donehoo.

don, testified to the unlawful actions of the
strikers, and said the men at work, had every

thp evidence, and the defendants were held In
5BT0 bail each for the June term of court.
All the defendants furnished bail.
TWO IMPORTANT CRIMINAL CASES.

lFrECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
EBENSBUitG. March 13. In the Braden mur
der case the District Attorney and the counsel
for the defense compromised, allowing the Judge
to decide. To-day the sick juror recovered so
far that he was taken to the Court House in a
closed carriage, but he was not needed, as by
that time the jury had been discharged. The
jury in the Hoofnagle case brought in a verdict
of acquittal.
As the decision of the Braden case was left in
the hands of Judge Fnrst, to-night he sentenced
Braden to a term of five years and six months
in the penitentiary. It will be remembered
that Braden is the man who shot his wife not
long ago in Johnstown, jealousy being given as
the cause, though insanity was one of the picas
of defense.

NEW YORK'S CARNEGIE HALL.
It Was Informally Opened With Music and
Speech Making.
New York, March 13. That New York is to
have a new music hall in keeping with the
times was demonstrated on the occasion of
the opening of a portion of the new Carnegie
Hall, on Fifty-seventh street.
It was but an informal affair, and consisted
mainly in a rehearsal of the Oratorio Society
in its new rehearsal rooms, but a few in
vitations had been seut out to the directors and
friends of the society, and this audience be
came so enthusiastic in its demonstrations of
approval at the general beauty and excellent
acoustic qualities of the elegant little audi
torium that the affair resulted in little short of
an ovation for Messrs. Carnegie, Reno, Dam
rosch fc Co.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Mr. Morris Reno
stepped to the stage, and, with a few well
chosen words of welcome, IntroducedMr. Wal
ter Damrosch, who without further word or
comment began his rehearsal for the festival,
taking up for the work his father's oratorio,
"Sulamith."
During the rehearsal Mr. Carnegie and a
party of friends entered the hall and took seats
near the stage in the left alcove. His appear
ance wasthe signal for a bursr of hearty ap
plause, and at the conclusion of "Sulamith,"
"Carnegie! Carnegiel" resounded from all parts
of tho auditorium. The millionaire hall Duilder
was forced to leave his seat and step to the
stage, and there receive the continued cheering
of the audience.
He spoke of Mr. Theodore Thomas' great
work for tho advancement of music and of Dr.
Daiurosch's indefatigable efforts. He also al
luded to his young friend, the present con
ductor of the society, before liiin, and for whom
a permanent orchestra was being organized.
Ho said a word abont the hall and hoped for
its success as a shrine for the best offerings to
the loveliest of arts. ,
It was not so much what he said as the way in
which he said it that seemed to whet the appe
tite of his bearers for more, and Lot until he
bad dragged to bis side Mrs. Damrosch, the
mother of the young director, the director
himself, Mr. and Mrs. Reno, Secretary Tuthill
and Trcasnrer Knevals, and had said a word
for each, that he was allowed to return to his

Prices Still Move Upward; With Decreas

TAB KESTK1CTIUN OF COAL A FAILURE
'FFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIBPATCTL1
New Yoek, March 13. The movement
of general trade throughout the country has
been somewhat irregular, as reported to
Jiradstreet's. The most striking gain is
noted in pig iron, the production of which,
owing to strikes, heavy rail rates and a de
clining demand, lias been curtailed 5,000
tons weekly, as compared with the output
three months ago.
At Western centers the late revival of the
demand continues, and there is increased
strength at Philadelphia and New York. No
special advance appears likely in the near
future after the enormous output of 1890,
and with prospect for only moderate rail
way extension. Steel rails are firmer now
that the mill which refused to combine on
prices has been consolidated with its prin
cipal competitor; but the anthracite coal
combination to restrict output is one which
does not restrict, as 1,451,833 more tons had
been mined and shipped bv March 7, 1891,
than in a like portion of 1S93.
A Bright Side to the Strike.
The industrial situation is' quiet, especial
ly in coal mining, though fewer miners are
idle than last week. The coke strike is not
expected to continue long, as irotf producers
rather enjoy its effect, now that demand is
slack. The building trade ontlook is less
tavorable at Chicago, Philadelphia and
Milwaukee.
A contest is promised in the clothing trade
at Rochester. Leather and hides are firmer
at Boston, ami the latter are higher. Lum
ber, too, is more active, and rubber prices
tend upward. At Philadelphia woolen
spinners report an improvement in the de
mand. At New Orleans the movement of
staples has been active, notwithstanding
high water, threatened Hoods and washouts
of railways throughout Louisiana. Kansas
City reports a brisk movement in wholesale
lines, while Omaha merchants are evidently
cautious to prevent overstocking by their
customers?.
Hog products have been in active request
and prices are higher. At Western live
stock markets cattle are 10 cents and hogs
12 cents higher. Refined sugar is off one
fourth cent, duty paid, beiug in less active
demand.
Business Failures and Bank Clearings.
Business failures in the United States
this week number 200, against 231 last week,
and 209 this week last year. The total from
January 1 to date is 2,953 against 2,967 last
year.
Bank clearings at 56 cities for the week
ended March 12, are 5999,787,548, a decrease
from this week last year of 10.G per cent.
New York Citv's clearings are 16.1 per cent
less than for the like period last year. At
55 other cities thegain is 7-10 ofl percent.
Marked dullness, accompanied by im
provement in prices, prevails in share specu
lation. There is no activity, but a better
feeling regarding the foreign financial situ
ation and the favorable outlook in regard to
the crops and railroad earnings tends to
sustain values. Money generally through
out the country is moderately active, with
rates not materially changed from last week.
Reports to Brddstreet's from 12 chief
wheat producing States east of the Rocky
Mountains and 3 on the Pacific coast indi
cate a probable total of wheat in farmers'
hands two weeks ago ot about 104,000,000
bushels.
Smaller Stocks of Wheat Available.
This points to smaller stocks of visible
and invisible, 5,000,000 bushels less than on
March 1 iu any ot the preceding seven
years. It is also calculated that only 37,
000,000 bushels of wheat remained for export
and reserves, both coasts, March 1, alter
allowing 118,000,000 bushels for home re
quirements to July 1 next.
Gross railway earnings for February show"
a gain over "February last year, iu spite of
the reduced tramc ol tne trunk lines, smaller
cereal crop movement and foods on several
Central Western roads. All Pacific roads
but one show gains, and account lor 50 per
cent of the total gain. Eastern roads have
done lairly well, as have Southern lines,
which carried large quantities of cotton.
The total gross earnings of 138 railroads for
February aggregate 532,731,314, on a total
of 87,686 miles, again of 4.4 per centln earn
ings and 3.3 per cent. in mileage.
R. G. Dun & Co 's weekly review says:
Foreign influences have again disturbed the
market a little and increased tbe prevalent
conservatism ot feeling. Directly, the effect
here should be slight, but it is impossible to
say how the already strained condition at
London may be affected, and serious pres
sure at London would be felt in sales of
securities here.
Poor Railroad Building Prospects.
The piospect for new railroad building,
and consequently for rail production, is not
helped by the monetary situation, and stocks
have beeu considerably weakened, but there
is more active speculation in breadstuffs,
pork products aud cotton, which have all
advanced, and the outlook for farmers
has rarely been belter at this season
than it is now. Of the great
industries, nearly all areexpanding and em
ploying labor fully, but the coke strike aud
other causes have produced a remarkable
shrinkage in tiie output of iron. The weekly
output of nil furnaces in blast March 1 was
but 134,526 tons, a decrease ot 15 per cent in
a month. So great a decline would be a
sign ot impending disaster if it were not
properly attributable iu u large measure to
temporary causes. The belief that the coke
strike will soon end in cheaper supplies of
fuel, while the railroads west of Pittsburg
have just
Agreed to Bednce Their Charges,
prompts consumers to expect lower prices
soon, and though the market here has a bet
ter tone, Northern No. 1 is quoted as low as
517 and Southern at 516 2. The rail com
bination has at last beeu formed, but the de
mand is small. Bar iron is weak, but in
structural there is more activity.
The prospect for thefbuildiug trades is
rather dull here, but at olber cities, particu
larly at the West, it is remarkably bright,
with the siugle condition that threatened
labor troubles do nut iuter.ere. The wool
manufacture is doing remarkably well,
though the price of goods, do not advance.
The mills engaged on dressed goods and knit
goods are especially active, and tbe worsted
works are on full time with fair prices. Iu
tbe boot and shoe industry shops are lairly
employed, and some new works are going
up, but a speculative flurry in bides and
leather has made business less satisfactory.
Reports from other cities are fairly favora
ble. From the Leading Trade Centers.
Boston notes more buyers of baots aud
shoes from all parts of tbe country, but their
dealings are very cautious, and they refuse
any advance on last year's prices. Some
kinds ot leather are higher again, but do
mestic hides are more freely ollered at lower
prices. Wool moves steadily; lumber is
lairly active, and coffee strong.
At Philadelphia the wool trade is active
with light supplies. At Chicago, the dry
goods sales considerably exceed last year's
at the same time, but the payments are not
so good; as was expected, and in clothing
and boots and shoes the situation is ,'thc
same. Building, permits this year exceed
last year's to date by one-third. Wool re
ceipts are larger, wheat much larger, aud
cured meats show an increase compared
with last year. Hides, oats and rye are
about the same, but 'in flour, corn, barley,
lard and butter decrease appears, aud iu
dressed beef, a decrease ol one-half.
Tho State of Trade at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg notes no change in iron or rails,
but tome improvement in window glas
At Cincinnati whisky advances wilh good
sales, and sales of tobacco are heavy.
Cleveland notes hopefulness for the spriug
trade, and Detroit observes a prospect for
great activity in building.
West of Chicago heavy snows and bad
weather have had much influence, impeding
the lumber trade at Minneapolis, though
prices are good and the ontlook excellent,
and at St. Paul tbe jobbers are satisfied. At
St. Louis distribution iu all lines is retarded
by the weather. At Omaha trade is quiet;
at Kansas City average, and at Denver
slightly improved in spite of heavy snows.
Reports from the eutire South are a shade
brighter, because cotton has recovered
slightly iu price. Baltimore reports trade
ahead of last year's. New Orleans finds
cotton receipts moderate, sugar dull and
rice firm. Savannah deems the prospect
bright, and at Atlanta the better price of
cotton helps; but at Memphis depression
continues, and at Louisville trade is slow.
Western Collections Still Slow.
At tbe South little is said of collections,
but throughout the West complaints of slow
collections grow more frcqueut, and tbe
money markets, though now here positively
stringent, arc geuerally firm with a more
active demand.
The volume of business continues larger
than a year ago, but the range of prices,
farm products included,, is over 10 per cent
higher, and has advanced 1J per cent dur
ing the past week. Wheat rose i cents,
but reacted about 1 cent vestcrdav, sales for
the weik being 56,000,000 bushels. Con
sidering that Western receipts steadily
exceed last year's, while the reports of
foreign scarcity are not sustained by ex
ports, which still fall far behind last year's,
the speculation is venturesome. Cofn has
advanced 4J cents and oats 2 cents for the
week on rather larger sales than usual, and
cotton has risen cent. But all the specu
lative markets have to rcckou with the pos
sibility of scarce money before long, as the
drain from tho city to the Interior cou-ti'nues.

A New Pool Possibly Being Opened
Wildwood's Production Still Not Im

ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCrf.l
Elizabeth, March 13. The attempted
boom of the Elizabeth well by a morning
paper so far has resulted in a boomerang.
The unkind words intended to throttle the
freedom of speech concerning the status of
the well might very appropriately be ap
plied to the gifted genius who in
spired tbe story. It was claimed in
the fairy tale that tbe well had
200 feet of oil in the hole, which was
lound in tho top of the sand, with a gas
pressure of from 60 to SO pounds,, and yet tbis
was not strong enongh to throw this small
amount of oil out of the hole. This is a great
song and dance to give the trade.
To-day a scout whoso veracity is unimpeach
able, visited the well and found the latch-string
of the derrick door hanging ont. Stepping
inside he made a careful examination and
failed to find any indication of oil on tbe cable,
tools or bailer, and, in fact, could not even de
tect a smell of nil. He said tbe well had a gas
pressure from 100 to 150 pounds, which escaped
through the lead pipe against a tree, and even
here be could not tlnd the least evidence of the
ZOO feet ot oil alleged to have been in the hole.
The dispatch representative asked the scout
what be thought ot the well and the chances of
it making a producer. He replied by saying:
"I don't take any stock in it, whatever, and if
the owners have got all tbe territory they want,
which I understand they have, I don't see why
they don't open it."
Another prominent scour, whose locks havo
grown white in the service, said to-day: "1
have no faith in the territory." One of Pitts
burg's heaviest producers, and a gentleman ot
wide experience in tbe oil business, also said:
"When I heard the report about tbe Elizabeth
well 1 sent my best and most trusted scout to
the new venture, and from. his report I con
cluded to make no investments in that quar
ter." What deeper drilling may bring forth in
this much-advertised well cannot be predicted,
but from the above reports it looks as if the
venture, in its present condition, will never
amount to much as an oil producer.
No Improvement at Wlldwood.
Wildwood Upon the whole Wlldwood has
made no grand showing to-day. On the con
trary, several of the advance wells in the sand
which were expected would set things bowling
again, have rather detracted from its brilliant
record. Tbe Kretzer is 25 feet in tbe sand, and
there is no perceptible increase since tbe pay
was tapped. in tne past oo hours
the well has made 36 barrels and
drilling was resumed to-day at the
McGinnls 4 Co.'s August Kyle well, which, at
this writing, is three bits in trie pay with no im
provement. The venture Is flowing bv heads
and during the last a hours ha made loO bar
rels oi oik The Beers Dnva well to-night is
35 feet in the sand and makes a little spurt now
and then, but there is no increase in production.
Rnnga No. i is drilling at seven bits in tbe
sand, with 700 or SOU feet of oil in the hole. The
well has made no flows. Kress No. 13 is three
bits in, and a personal gauge makes its produc
tion 25 barrels an hour. W. E. Griffith & Co.'s
old Whitesell No. 2 is producing 709 barrels a
day, which well, without question, is the great
est stavcr in tne field. The same company's
No. 8 Whitesell is iu tbe sand and flowing five
barrels an hour.
Kress Nos. 10 and 11 are still drilling in the
sand with no change from yesterday's report.
No. 7 Ringheisen Is through the sand. Its ca
pacity is light. No. 2 Alston is drilling, and
No. 2 same farm is rigging up. The Roth Oil
Company have started drilling No. 2 Feepble's
heirs'.
A New Pool Barely Possible.
Waxfokd and Mt. Nebo The territory
northeast of Wlldwood and south ot Brush
creek is being pretty well developed, and oper
ations in those localities at present are becom
ing interesting. Present work will develop a
large scope of land, and before the summer is
over it is possible a new pool may be brought to
light.
On tbe Pepper farm Balman & Co. have a
well In tho 100-foor. with considerable oil in the
hole. The show is sufficient to justify the
owners in tubing the well and give it a thorough
test, which, if not satisfactory in this Ievel.they
will go down to lower formation. To-morrow
or Monday tbe Giange Syndicate will case
their well on the Colo farm. Itis reported that
J. M. Patterson t Co.'s venture on the Brecht
farm is a duster. The well was shot yesterday
with 00 quarts ot glycerine, but there was no
response. These gentlemen have finished drill
ing the centennial sand on the Morrison farm,
but the result was not satisfactory and they are
now drilling for the third sand.
On tbe Rigley farm, in this same locality.
McGrew Brothers will bonnce the drill in a day
or two, and Young & Carnihan, up Lowries
Run, on the Reed farm, are drilling in the 100
foot with a good showing of oil. They will
make a test in this horizon. Tbe Granger's
wpll, on the Cole property, is looked upon as a
very important venture, and in the event of its
proving a paying investment a considerable
amount of new nork will follow. Adjoining
the Cole farm Fritz A Co. are bnildlng on the
Jmeway property and expect to start the drill
soon.
Patterson Again In Luck.
McCurdy John M. Patterson, to whom be
longs tho honor of opening the McCurdy fifth
sand pool, was to-day again rewarded by find
ing another big well. His new strike is located
on tho Lloyd farm, about 430 feet a little north
or cast of the old McCurdy No, 1. The pay
was tapped this afternoon, when the golden
fluid Sim: forth at the rate of 40 barrels an
hour. Unfortunately the tools are lost iu tbe
well.
Advices from McCurdy this evening say that
the report last night that the Scott well No. 2
was doing bO barrels an hour was not' well
founded. My informant says the well is doing
400 barrels. The Dougherty is expected lu to
morrow. A New Strike at Zelienople.
ZELiESOPiE-A slight appreciation was
caused iu Zelienoplo stock yesterday by tho
new strike of McNally, Lockwood & Co., at
tboirNo. SFrankert farm. Tho well is about
one mile north of Zelienople and in tbe neigh
borhood of 800 feet west of their No. I, which
has for some time been allowed to remain
dormaut, although it is asserted by tbose who
Erofes to know that it would have maae 25
arrels a day had is. been opened. Tbe
new venture, while only 18 Inches in tbe sand,
started off at a 25-barreI-an-hour gait, but has
since declined considerably. The fortunate
owners of this well have secured quits a scope
of territory in this immediate vicinity, and Con
template more new work. They have also
iiurchased a three-fourths interest in the
daich lease, which is located adjacent to their
new find. Aside from the Lockwood it Co.
striKe, the aggregate production of Zelienople
is about ICO barrels a day.

Coraopolls, on the Getty farm. It has been re

100 barrels a day. The same company's No. 3
Neely, recently completed. Is rated at irom a
Ave tba 10-barrel pumper.
W. .U Mellon is building two rigs on the
John Parry farm, one 200 feet and the other 800
feet southwest of the Forest's Getty farm well.
Mr. Mellon is also drilling two wells on the
TjOgan farm, which are down from 1,200 to 1,400
feet, one on the Chess farm, at 1,600 feet, and
another on the Beggs property, just started.
Very Dull Times at Harmony.
HArmoNY Nothing has taken place at this
antiquated, town within the past week to revive
the interest which prevailed here a short time
ago. The sum total of production here is 235
barrels a day, wtilch comes from ten wells,
while the Hovis & Co. and Sutton fc Co. wells
each make 60 barrels of tbis total. Scnlegal &
Co., at 58 feet in the 100-foot, found a showing
of oil. This well is 600 feet south of No. 1, H.
M. Zeigler.
Wells Due at Jefferson Center.
Jefferson Cester Several important
wells will be due here in a few days, which will
have qnito a bearing upon the future of this
pool. T. W. Phillips has two wells nearing the
sand, which", judging from their location,
should be paving investments. A conservative
estimate of Jefferson Center's production is
about 1,000 barrels a day.
Petersville Has a 100-Barreler.
PETERSVILI.E Frazicr. McBride & Co. havo
recently added another good well to the com
pleted lists in this district, Tho well is located
on the Ray farm, and ismakinga round 100
barrels a day. In a few days Rook & Co. will
cut the meiou on theMcKinncy lot.
Interest Revived at Callery.
Callery Tbe recent strike on the Staples
lot by the B. Forst Oil Company has, to some
extent, revived interest at Callery. The welt
started off at 30 barrels an hour.but has dropped
considerably from this figure since struck.
The Price of Tlona Field OIL
The price of Tiona field oil has, been raised
from $1 12K to 51 15. This is an advance of
about 40 cents over tbe present market price
of ordinary oil. The Tiona oil is of a peculiar
color and has delicate properties which make
a demand for it. Tbe Eclipse Refinery at
Franklin, Pa., uses a carload of it every day.
