8 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY. APRIL IT, 1891. MJEPEW'SDiLEMA Kailroads,Cannot Obey the Laws of Connecticut and Kew lorfc, KEQUIEIKG DIFFERENT HEATERS. He Explains Bis Jocular Smarts on tho Tnnuel Dlsastar. E41LR81D WRECKS AEB TERI COSTLY. Chicago, April 16. Chauncey Depew, accompanied by Cornelius Vanderbilt, H. McK. Twombley, E. V. B. Kossiter and President Ledyard, of the Michigan Central, arrived in Chicago tbiafterncou on o spe cial train and drove at once to tbe Audi torium Hotel. "We shall leave to-night for the "West," Elid Mr. Depew, "going as far as Denver via Omaha. We shall visit Leadrille and return via Kansas 'City merely a tonr oi observation, that is all. We shall complete it nod be back in New York one week from next Saturday night" Concerning his arrest in connection with the tunnel accident on the New Haven road in New York City, Mr. Depew said: "The case will be usetui in this nay: It will set tle whether a director of an inter-State road can be convicted for disobeying the laws of s State through which the road runs while he obeys the lavs of another. Hard to Obey Two Masters. "For instance, the law of New Haven de clares that a certain kind of heater shall be used. In New York the law says that roads of 0 miles in length shall not use that kind. Bather hard tu obey both. It is the same as if iour of the eight States through which the road tuns should compel one kind of heater to be used and the other four make it a misdemeanor to use it. A di rector on such a road would have to be in prison and out of it all the time unless he were cat in pieces." Referring to his reported jocular remarks about the accident, Mr. Depew said : "It is a mistake to think I made them with reference to the victims. Despite a great feeling that is growing to the contrary, a railroad manager does not liEe an accident, and he is as sensitive as anybody over the Mifferincs of the wounded. To judge from what iomo people say, one wonld think I like nothing so much as an accident. How foolish 1 We never have an accident of importance on the New York Central HailroiJ that does not cost us SoOO.000. In the first vlace. there Is the destruction of property, then tbe damages pay able to the injured, then,"' Mr. Depew sighed, "the checks paid to tbe many suffering from f hocks. A railroad .shock is the most peculiar mjaiy imaginable. Cured by a Generous Check. "In a recent accident a man in a Wagner car was asked if he bad been Injured. 'No,' he replied, "and a peculiar thing abont it is that of four dozen eggs I had m a kjasket beside me, cot one was cracked.' A little later ainntual friend called anu said the man had received a shock in tbe accident that prevented his col lecting his tboucnt? or sleeping. I related the egg incident, but that did not matter. He pare certificates trom two prominent New York plnslcians, statinc the truth of his claim. I gave him a check for J7.EO0L Tbe man crumbled because it was not enough to yield him a life income. lint he took the check, vent South, returned in three weeks and re sumed business, and has not had a sick day since. Queer what a panacea a check often proves." INDEPENDENTS ARE MUM. THEY AEE OATH-BOUND NOT TO BEVEAL THEIE SECBETS. W. L Mellon Discredits linmorj of Ills Good Luck on the Wrst Virginia Lino Wild cat Wells in Clarion and Butler Counties A Boom expected. A prominent member, add one of the leaders of the Producers' Protective Associ ation, was approached yesterday by The Dispatch scout, but very little informa tion could be gained as to what the inde pendents are doing.

A Greene County Well. Greexe County It was rumored in olj circles that W. L. Mellon had struck a 150-bar-rel well in Greene countr. near the West Vir ginia line, which was a wildcat pure and simple. Tbe oil was said to have been found in tbe "Bis Injun" sand, and tor a time the report created considerable nneasiness among tbe producers, owing to the tendency to bear the market. Sir. Mellon was interviewed upon his new find, and disclaims all knowledge of his reperted good lack. He said to begin with, he was not drilling a well at all in Greene county, bat bad been trying to cctaweil down for the last three years in West Virginia, near tbe Greene county line. He further stated he had no information that they lnd fonndoil in his well, and was in clined to discredit the story. Wildcat Wells In Clarion.
