OIL REPORTS FIJOJI BUTLER COUXTY
For those who have never seen a good
lively oil town in all of its youth and beauty
a trip to McDonald any day will never be
forgotten. The hustle, bustle and air of
business is something which one unused to
it can scarcely understand, while to the
natives it is a revelation fringed with a
silver lining, with a background of
mansions, coaches, coat of arms and
untold luxuries which before were
only seen in dreams. "Wonderful
stories of the oil country, oil princes, and
drillers had been borne to them bv 'xeuture
nime oungstcrs ho had wandered away
Ironi liome. To the children these tales
were as interesting as leaves lrom fairyland.
"When the real oil men, the operators, the
drillers, the tool dressers, the rig builders
and c en the teamsters appeared at McDon
ald they were received with a welcome bor
dering on cordiality. There was none of
the haughtiness or the spirit to hold
aloof against which they had to fight
at places along the southern bank of the
Ohio, but all entered heartily into the work
f getting out the wealth buried 2,000 feet
below. As a reult of this there are now 40
urilline wells within a radius of a quarter
of a mile from McDonald station. Each one
of these when completed will represent at
!eat So.OO't inve-ted. Many of thee
wells are in the back j.irdsof lott. on which
ere fine-looking homes. Even the church
lot was sacrificed, and a well i now being
drilled w ithin 100 Ject of the pulpit from
which the brawny drillers hear the gospel
reached every Sunday. Tiilly 200 men
eft the train which arrived at " McDonald
ation from Pittsburg a little after 11
o'clock j csterday morning. They scattered
almost instantly to look aiter their various
interests and were not seen again until the
train was due to bring then back to the city.
New dwelling houses, store rooms and
buildings for all business purposes are going
up on every side as rapidly as skillful
carpenters can erect them. The switches
a'ong the railroad track at the station are
crowded w ith freight cars, each one filled
with casing, tubing, or tools for the use of
the men engaged in the oil business. There
are no drones in the little borough. There
is work for all and all are busy.
"What the Drill Is Doing.
McDonald The Royal Gas Company's
Xo. 3 en the Sauters farm, which came in a
couple of weeks ago at the rate of 150
barrels an hour was not flowing a barrel
yesterdav. It had been drilled deeper
"Wednesday and Thursday, and the supposi
tion is that the drill went through the sand
and the slate and mud from below
plastered the hole, and prevented
the oil from leaving the rock. It was to
have been shot yesterday afternoon, but
when the shooter was running his measur
ing line it was stopped by parafiine. An
cflort was then made to clean the hole be
fore putting in the shot, and if this can be
done the well will be torpedoed tc-day.
Only a couple of hundred feet south
west of the Sauters 2fo. 3 is
the well of La Conite & Vallilce on the
Short lot. This well has been doing about
03 barrels an hour since last Saturday when
it was drilled in, and for a few hours run up
to 100 barrels. Yesterday afternoon it sud
denly took a spurt and went to !K) an hour,
which was its figure last evening.
"Whether it is drilling itself into
the sand or is drawing from the
rock around the Sauters 3 is a matter of
conjecture Clark & Bannister's w ell on the
ISutler lot, which was finished July 1, is
till doing 300 barrels a day, and the well of
lennings, Ferguson & Beeson, on the Bois
on and Henri leases, about 300 feet north
west of the Butler, is down to about 65 bar
rels a day. J. B. Samuel is drilling at 1,400
Ject on the Campbell lot, one location,
northwest of the Henri lease. Gartland &
llajs well, on the Miller tnrm, was making
05 barrels an hour vesterday. Their 2o. 2
is about on top of the Gordon and they have
already located three more rigs on the Mil
ler farm. No. 3 is 300 feet northeast of No.
1. Xa 4, east of Xo. 3, and .No. 5
north of So. L AV. P. Blaok
is drilling five wells at McDonald.
They are all located on a 43 line south
west ot the Sauters So. 3 and the Butler
lot wells. His So. 1 on the McNall lot is
down 800 feet; No. 1 George, about 400
feet, No. 1 Dr. Jamison is down 100 feet,
and No. 1 on the Mrs. Springer is spud
ding. The People's Natural Gas Company
i down 500 leet on the Davidson lot,
located 200 feet southwest of the
toauters No. 3. The Eoyal Gas Company
has a rig up for No. 8 Sauters, which is
located 250 feet west of No. 3 on the same
farm. The Boyal Gas Company's No. 1,
Mary Bobb farm, in the extreme western
edge of the field, is still the w onder and talk
of the operators. It was flowing by
heads yesterdav and putting out oil at the
rate of 40 barrets a dav. There is one well
drilling at present within 600 feet of it, and
this is the No. 2 Mongot of Finnegan &
Downinc, which is located to the southeast.
The Bobb wellflons about four times an
houi for periods of five minutes each, and
when at work sounds like a run
away express train. The well is
c puzzle to the producers in the
field, and none of them have the temerity
: predict which way the belt may
now go. Many of them, however, believe
that there are "two rich parallel streaks rnn
iiin: through the field. The well of Iscmau
& Co.. on the William llobb, 1,000 feetl
oflthwet of the Mary Bobb, was shot
vesterday. It was completed Wednesday,
but will not make more than a20-barrel well.
The well of Weixel & Co. on the Smith lot
just northeast of the Butler lot well is put
down as dry. There have been dozens of
reports about this well, and no one yet
seems to know just how deep they are. The
Shaffer Oil Company's well on th'e Smith lot
at the forks of the road is a small well in
the Gordon sand. Mechlin is down about
3M feet on the Peeble's-lot.
Another Gordon Well.
NOBLESTOWK Tberewas a ripple of ex
citement here and at McDonald to-day
when it became known that the well of
Gulley. Murphv & Co. on the Baldwin
larm.located about half a mile southwest
from the big Mathews well, was spurting
nil up into the derrick from the bottom of
the Gordon sand. For a time it was reported
that the oil came irom the fifth sand, but
his was found to be erroneous. The well
was shut down to await the erection oftank
.'sc before proceeding further. This well is
ibnut on a line between the Matthews and
the Mary Bobb. The Matthews well of
Gnfley, Jennings & Co. was tapped Thurs
day night and increased lrom 35 to
75 "barrels an hour. It was doing about 65
barrels an hour 3-estcrday afternoon.
The well of Greenlee A: Forst, on the Mil
ler firm, back of Oakdale, lias been drilled
iei-pcr, but will not be good lor more than
30 barrels a day.
Somo "Wells About Dnc
McCukdy Mellon & Wilson's No. 2, on
the Jane Biddle, should get the taud to-day
and their Dougherty No. 3 is due the first of
the week. It. E. Gillespie & Co.'sNos.5,
0 and 7, Jane Biddle, and No. 2, on the
Hall farm, will be completed the first of
nest week.
Drilling in the South.
A driller wiio has just returned from
Tulloiiuma, Tenn., said yesterday that a
company in which Messrs. Golden and Mc
Glung, of Butler, are interested, is drilling
a test well halfway between Nashville and
Chattanooga. It is down over 1.800 feet.
and drilling in the Trenton limestone which
they had struck at 1,300 feet. They expect
to go throughWK) feet of it altogether. There
is a black sand at 1,000 feet and salt water I
on top of the Trenton limestone. The black
j sand is believed to be the same as the old
Berkville shale which they eet in Jventncky.
The well is located on a 45 line from the
Pennsylvania fields.
Butler County.
There is not much attention being paid to
Butler county field news at present owing
to the greater attractions at Noblestown,
McDonald and other fields, but it is safe to
predict that old Butler will still be in the
swim after the great southwest pools have
passed into history. The One Hundred
Foot district that" has had its obituary
written a number of times is not ready for
its post obitum by any means as witnessed
by the constant com'pletion of good wells
in that rock. It is also noted where wells
have not been crowded together too closely
the staying qualities are equal if not
snperior to'white sand wells. This is ably
illustrated when a comparison is made with
Wildwood. When the One Hundred Foot
wells commenced to drop off from
their maximum speed it was freely pre
dicted that the utter dissolution of
the field would occur within a few months.
A number of the prodnccrs became fright
ened and sold out at low figures to put
Eiders. The majority of purchasers received
a good thing, as the wells are holding up
remarkablv well except where drilled too
thicklv. "Captain William A. Clark, of
Butler, is nbout completing his seventeenth
well, with good indications, on the Peter
lioder farm. Little has been said about
this property, but it has turned out to be
one of the most valuable properties in the
county. Having a large acreage, the wells
hate "been drilled with regard to plenty of
room Mr. Clark is to be congratulated on
his good thing.
Reports From Petersville.
Petbrsville Thompson & Dale's No.
2 on the Oswald Bader farm is making 200
barrels per day and is the largest well in
that part of the county. Johnston & Co. '9
No. 4 on the Blakely farm is 30 feet in sand
without oil. Stanfield & Co.'s No. 1, Wehr
farm, is showing up for 10 barrels per day.
Showing Rather Light.
Mar's Bolard & Cumming's No. 2, Ken
nedy, got pay Wednesday and has made
onlv 18 barrels in 20 hours and will not ex
ceed 25 or 30 barrels per day. This is rather
a disappointment after the excitement occa
sioned by the incoming of the No. 1.
Bti.lCnF.F.K Charticrs. and the Forest
Oil Company's No. 1 on the Wm. McKib
bin farm is making 120 barrels per day and
still drilling.
The Fire Out at List,
Calt.f.P.T After several hours of hard
work yesterday Messrs. June & Shetter, of
the National "Transit Company, succeeded
in putting out the fire at the well on the
Garvin farm, three miles west of this place.
It is the big 100-foot well belonging to
Lentz, Schlegal & Co., which was struck
last Tuesday and immediately took fire.
The oil is now being saved and one report
last evening was to the effect that it was,
flowing at the rate of 200 barrels a day, and
another that it was doincr 20 barrels an honr.
At any rate it is a. big well and will be anj
incentive for active work in that locality '
before many weeks.
How They TaTce It.
The drop in the market yesterdav to 50?
cents was Keenly lelt by the producers.
There were those among them who became
so excited as to advocate a Klu-lvlux policy.
Others talked long and loud about their--!
wrongs and what should be done
to avert a further reduction.
Some took the matter philosophically,
and refused to be interviewed, or say what
stand the producers' new organization would
take. Manv more were morose and thought
that 25 cent oil would be quoted before Sep
tember, while a few, indeed a very fewj
looked the situation in the face and smiled.
Personal.
James B. Goldsborough, a well-known
Iiroducer of Bradford, came to Pittebnrg
ast night to attend a meeting of the Pro
ducers' Assembly, and to consider plans to
get an increase in the price of oil.
W. P. Black, a popular operator in the
Southwest field, returned yesterday from
Chautauqua Lake, where he has been for
several days.
W. J. Young, President and general man
ager of the Forest Oil Company, is at the o
seaside.
PANIC IN OIL CITY.
Brokers Go About Crazy as Trices Slide'
Gradually Toward the Tortics.
Oil City, Aug. 7. One of the hardest
blows that the speculative oil market has
received in years was the panicky break
from 58c to" 50c to-day. On July C, 1882k
with the Cherry Grove field at itstopnotch,
and a production from all fields amounting
to 130,000 barrels per day, prices declined
to 49J.c That was the lowest price from
that time until to-day, althoush during the
bank panic of 18S4, forced by the strin
gency of money, many holders of long oil
sold at a sacrifice, "and prices touched
Cltc on June 24. The exact cause of to
day's panic would be hard to state. The
extension of the Noblestown and McDon
alds fields, and the improvements of the
old wells, together with the report from
Callery that the burning well on the New
ton Garvin farm had been extinguished and
was doing 20 barrels per hour, had nothing
to encourage a holder of long oil, or to ring
in any new buyers. The weakness of other
epeculatite commodities made its effects
felt in the early hours of the oil market,
and several good-sized selling orders were
executed without materially affecting prices.
Some of the longs tried to take advantage
of the supposed strength of the market to
unload, and the decline started, slowly at
first, but gaining ground by each thousand
barrels tliat were thrown on the
market on account of exhaust
ed margins. In the last five
minutes it became a veritable panic. Just
how excited and weak the feeling was may
be iudged by the fact that while oil was
selling at 54c one broker bid 50c for 10,000
barrels and got it, and that, too, after prices
had already broken 4 cents. Fifteen thou
sand barrels were sold bv the same broker
-at 50c, and more was offered at the same
price when the gong rang at closing time.
The feeling was a trifle better after the close
and 50lc was bid.
"Yesterday's Local Features.
Oil made another stride toward the-50-centi
line yesterday and brought up at 55Sc. This
was bid at the close. There were no sales
here. Phikerton sold 2,000 to Oil City. The
most of the bidding was done there. Tho
disposition to buy was duo to the equaliza
tion of premiums and the prospect of cer
tificates soon dropping out of sight. These
stii red up the shorts. The decline In refined
helped the downward movement. Refined
was marked down atXew Yoik to 0.75c, and
at Antu cip to lGf. It was unchanged at
London. Daily average runs wcie 60,639;
dailj average of shipments, 75,899.

Nrw Ioiik, Aug. 7. Petroleum tc-day
dropped 7fo on a barrel on sales that were
so small that $100,000 would have covered
tho entile day's business. There was no
buying borders in the market, however, and
it was said the selling was forced on account
of exhaustion of mareins. The market

rSrKCTAL TELEGRAM TO TITE DISPATCH.!
2Tew Tore, August 7. Special telegrams
to Brodttrcct't point to no increase or de
crease in the volume of general trade. The
demands for seasonable staple merchandise
are fairly active. Chicago, St. Louis, Kan
sas City and San Francisco report an in
creasing volume of business, but at Phila
delphia, New Orleans, Duluth, Omaha, New
York and Boston there has been no corre
sponding expansion, while at Cincinnati an
actual decrease is, reported. It is worth
noting that there has been a marked in
crease in the demand for pig iron at Eastern
centers.
Boots and shoes, which hove been more
active, are in slower request again, and this
reacts upon leather. Lumber at nearly all
the leading markets continues slow of sale,
and even at several enterprising "Western
distributing points some varieties of dry
goods, notions and clothing are not in active
request. Rugs are in better demand, and
some lines of shclfware as well, while gro
cery staples, excepting sugar, which has
ranged 3-lGc lower, are in only moderate re
quest but steady in price.
Business failures in the United States
number 218, against 200 last week and 155
this week last year. The total January 1
to date is 7,335, against 6,355 last year.
There is some improvement in the demand
for drygoods, jobbing being most notablv
active at New York and Boston, with cot
ton and woolen dre6sgoods chiefly in re
quest. Changes in prices are few.
COLLECTIONS CONTINUE TO BE GOOD.
Collections are good, except from the
South. Raw wool is in moderately fair re
quest, but the recent increased demand at
"Western markets has declined, with nearly
nil domestic grades lower than a year ago.
Raw cotton is dull and c higher'in price.
New Orleans reports some damage from
worms.
Crop reports generally are quite favor
able, with the exception that the esti
mates of the Loisiana rice output havo
been reduced. Recent rains have greatly
iavored Indian com in Iowa, Nebraska.
Missouri and Kansas. Receipts of winter
wheat at primary markets continue very
heavy, in spite of which quotations remain
fairly steady. Exclusive cable advices to
Bradstrectt' indicate that while domestic
stocks of wheat, both coasts, increased
2,141,000 bushels during July, by counting
stocks available in Europe and afloat there
fore the grand total increase last month was
2,469,000 bushels.
It is worth noting that thb extraordinary
heavy exports of wheat to Europe last
month served only to enhance stocks afloat
for Europe and in Europe 328,000 bushels.
During July, 1890, stocks of wheat here m
Europe and afloat for Europe decreased
363,000 bushels; but in July, 18S9, the ag
gregate increased more than in July this
year, 2,834,000 bushels. Available wheat
in the United States and Canada equaled
-J,n, uusuuis -o.ugust I, 1,(UU,UUU Dush
els less than a year ago, but 3,160,000 bush
els more than on August 1, 1889. Europe,
United States, Canada and the high seas
presented an aggregate of 85,864,000 bush
els of wheat on August 1, against 68,822,000
bushels a year before, and 69,132,000 bushels
two years bciore.
Exports of wheat and flour as wheat from
both coasts of the United States have in
creased fully 25 per cent, within a week,
equaling 4.030,000 bushels, a weeklv asr-
gregate unequaled since July and August, J
aooi.
SHAItE SPECULATION IS NABBOW.
Share speculation is narrow, and the
market has not been free from disturbing
influences. The condition of Union
Pacific's floating debt furnishes occasion for
a short depression in that stock. The general
market, however, has improved, and shows
a disposition to respond to the crop news,
the export movement and the continued fall
of European exchange. Sterling is 1 cent
on the pound lower, and gold imports ar"e
confidently expected within a month.
Money is abundant at New York, but lacks
confidence, and apprehensions of stringency
still make a close situation regarding loans
and commercial paper. The bond market,
though stagnant, has improved a little.
Bank clearings in July make a better
showing than in May or June, but remain 9
per cent behind the total for July, 1890.
For seven months the decrease is slightly
heavier. New York's July olearings are
12.6 per cent behind those of last vear, and
this, with heavy decreases at Philadelphia
and Boston, account for the net decrease in
the grand total. The decrease of the total
for other cities than New York, is- only 3.7
per cent The July total for 58 cities aggre
gates 4,420,000,000jand for seven months it
amounts to 31,681,000,000, a decrease of 9.9
per cent from the seven months total in
1890.
Dominion advices are more favorable. In
the Province of Quebec the general trade
outlook has improved, and in Ontario the
movement of staples has begun to increase.
"Wheat crop prospects throughout are ex
cellent, and Sradxtrcet'i advices are that the
Canadian surplus for export will amount to
22,000,000 bushels. The Dominion reports
29 business failures this week against 20
last week and 25 this week last year. The
total number, January 1 to date, is 1,140
against 995 last year.
CONFIDENCE IS "GROWING.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade
says: With business in many lines dis-J
appointmgly dull, the ieeling ot confidence
nevertheless distinctly increases. The be-l
lief increases that the country will be able A
to sell such vast quantities of grain and to
draw so heavily upon foreign supplies of "j
capital, that all home industries will be J
greatly stimulated. Monetary difficulties
are still future, for though at some Southern
points markets are light, supplies at West
ern centers arc adequate for legitimate busi
ness, and mere speculation gets less help
than usual.
Depression in some great industries con
tinues and is real, but may be traced to
causes obviously not permanent. Thus the
iron manufacturer is much set back by in
ability of railroads to make purchases, be
cause they fail to negotiate securities.
At Philadelphia in most trades there is
much complaint of slow collections; at
Pittsburg, manufactured iron is fairly
active and the glass trade good, but collec
tions rather slow. At Cleveland trade is
enlarging, with confidence, and at Cincin
nati the furniture trade is especially grow
ing, but at both cities collections are but
fair. Chicago feels the effect of great crops,
distinctly. Prices of commodities are going
down, and for the first time this year the
general level is lower than a year ago, hav
ing declined per cent the past week.
Financial prospects have not changed and
though money on call is cheap, commercial
loans are made with caution. Large fail
ures have occurred, but none threatening
financial disturbance. The tone abroad is
less strained and the Bank of France has 1
-gained gold'largely, but a pressure in
Europe must result if needs for breadstuffs
are as large as is supposed.

The above game shows how closely book
may be rouoweu, ana as Jir. stiuwagen
claims to be a non-book player, he certainly
followed Robertson's trunk for 23 moves,
and we tried variation 11 and he followed it
to the 18th move.and wo switcbedotr to vnri
tion 39, and left it after a few moves. So in
every case we made the departure. If our
friend does not study Robertson his play is
the same, and stamps our jolly attorney as
the finest non-book player in Pittsburg.
A. J. DUNLAP'S GOODBY.
July 31 ended the long career of A. J. Dun
lap as a checker editor. He hns tor over a
quarter of a centuiy ably conducted the
checker column in the Turj. It is much to
be regretted, his laying down his poa at tho
present time in tho midst ot the controversy
going on as to the championship of the
world, all owing to his rank decision in tho
Reedveisus Wyllie dispute. It will rob him
of much credit that is his due, for his long
and faithful services to th6 checker world,
owing to the lack of sympathy with the
above decision. Mr. Wyllie's ultimatum,
given below, shows the other side how far
tho thing is settled. There aie times when a
public man cannot retire from public life to
his credit, and in our judgment Mr. Dnnlap
would have served the interest of Dame th
better to have waited at the helm.until
some unity had been reached. But in tak
ing leave or our friend, we extend the hand
of fellowship and good will, and trust he
will And much pleasure in Ills retiremeut,
and in the little while that is left may he bo
able to solve the greatest of all problems
that on 1 etiring from this world it may be to
enter into an.lnheritanco incoiruptiblo and
undented and that fadetli not away, is tho
earnest wish of his friend, the conductor of
this column. Checker Editor.
"WYLLIE'S ULTIMATUM,
Mr. "Wyllie requests us to state thatuder
no consideration will he go to the United
States to play a match, but will allow .20
expenses for a match in Glasgow. Ho will
play amutctfwith Mr. Ferrie for the chnm
plonship of the world, unrestricted or re
stricted onenlnirs. as the latter mav please:
but if restricted, the openings not to bo
named or drawn until the day thoy are
played.
Wy
vllie will remain in London for some
two or threo weeks yet-and, as he intends
visiting Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, etc., on
his way North.it may be some time before
he reaches Glasgow.
Regarding his proposal to play Hr. Ferrie,
we heard tho mtter emphatically state that
he would never challenge the "Herd. Lad
die" he would leave hfm undisturbed to
wear his well earned honors. But it is a dif
ferent matter, wo fancy, when the veteran
challenges the Scottish champion. Glasgow

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The Turf, up to its close, has published
3,192 games, and many of the games had sev
eral variations and its problems reached the
wonderful number ot 1,710. Few ot the
checker columns of to-day have reached
that number, if any, under the management
of one man.
J. T. Denvir, in reply to The Dispatch on
the Scottish champion's position in the
.world as ajplaycn The great Northwest
wonder says there sire six snperlortoFerrie.
We suppose that thoro are three of those six
in Chicago, and Johnny himself is one ot
them. When Ferrie beat Reed 4 to 1 in six
gomes, where would tho balance in Chicago
be? James Wyllie says that Ferile and
Freeman are the two next to himself, and 1)0
fears Ferrie .the more.
The "Sailor on Shore" isthe title of an ex
cellent article In "Good Words" of May last,
from which wo extract the following: "On
my first visit to what may fairly be called
the Sailors' Home (since it is the parent of
all others), I peeped into the reading room
a lofty, spacious, warm, well-ventllated,
comfortably furnished, brilliantly lighted
chamber. On the mental fare provided for
them 40 brown and red mariners were 'feed
ing like one.' The low-bent heads, the mov
ing lips and the stubby forefingers stiffly
planted on the pages like the outstretobed
foreleg of a grazing horse, irresistibly sug
gest the quotation. In the recreation room
'down below, dimly seen through a mellow
haze of tobacco smoke (smoking only pro
hibited in those parts of the building in
which it would cause discomfort or danger),
Tlraugnt players were studying the next
move ae if their life depended upon it; brows
knitted, eyes Intently staring, " lips pursed
and chins resting on arms so widely
sprawled upon tho tables that the upper
Eortions of the players' persons were like
nge crabs peering above their folded claws.
There wero sets of chessmen also for those
able and disposed to use them; but chess, I
believe, does not find much favor with
Jack. Its various and far-roaching moves
bother him. He calls them 'wild steering,'
whereas the simple slants from square to
square at draughts he considers in accord
ance with the fitness of things, as reminding
him of larboard and starboard tacks.
"Draughts Board."
At headquarters. Home Hotel, there have
been several very interesting encounters
with the genial proprietor and one some
thing over six feet, known by his laugh. It
is one of those laughs that is rarely heard
outside of a circus, and only heard to its
fullest extent when his opponent has made
a blunder. The laughing gentleman has an
idea of his powers as a checker player, but
in the last few encounters he has been sadly
left, scircely being able to get a king with
the proprietor.
R. S. Hynde, writing in Mnnrtng Rays on
the amusements in East Africa, says:
"They have a game which may be said to be
like the gumo of draughts. They have a
board with fonr rows of holes, and stones
for the men. If there is no board they sim
ply make holes in tho ground. There are
two players, and the game consists (like
draughts) in one clearing ofl his enemy's
men by clever moving about. At this they
sit and play for hours." Bat Mr. Hynda

IN DEFENSE OF A FBIEND.
A Lady Says Mrs. McAIfresh Has Her Own
Story, as Yet Untold.
A lady friend of Mrs. McAlfresh,. who
had her husband, Dr. McAlfresh, before the
court on a charge of non-support last Sat
urday, yesterday complained that the issue'
of Saturday's proceedings put Mrs. McAl
fresh in a false light. The salient points of
the lady's correction were as follows:
In the first place, she said that when the
doctor married Mrs. McAlfresh, he got
some property with her, and dissipated it.
During the past year, she says, the doctor
has given his wife but SI for the support of "
herself and two small children. She says
that whereas the doctor swore that he had
only known the "Washington street
woman nine months, the same woman
went on his bond a year ago
last May. Further, that Mrs. McAlfresh
was forced to get employment on account of
her husband's desertion and undertook the
care of the tailor's house strictly on the
square, takiiigher children with her three
bovs. ranging in age from 12 to 21 years
and there was no cause for a breath of scan
dal. It is also stated that when the Wash
ington court sentenced the doctor to pay $12
a month to his wife he offered to pay 56.
Mrs. McAlfresh states that the younger
children will not become public charges, as
stated by a lawyer, as their mother's friends
would not allow it. Among these, she says,
are ex-Governor Pierpont, of "West Vir
ginia. It will be remembered that the Court
gave the doctor a month toprovide a home
Tor bis wife, but her friend states that he
I'offcrsTier one with the "Washington street
woman, and that she had rather die than ac
cept She also states that the doctor was a
iminister of the gospel before he turned
doctor.

"Tho Mean Koengo Taken by Some Who
Were Unbidden to a Feast.
Some malicious scoundrel or scoundrels
doubtless had some rare sport night before
last at the Cliff Mine hamlet, on the Mon
tour Eailway. There was a party, and a
very enjoyable one, at S. Jlar
sliall's house. Some person or per
sons, supposed to have been people
who had not been invited, went among the
horses of the assembled guests, during the
height of the festivity, and turned them
loose, and before the owners knew what was
going on, the animals were madly careening,
some in the direction of the city, others in
that of Turtletown and Clinton, and, in
short, toward all parts of the compass.
The country being rural most of the male
guests present had horses with them, and
as they were hitched to buggies or carts,
there was doubtless considerable wrecking
done, though not so much as there might
have been, in daylight when people were
out. Among those who were hunting rigs
yesterday morning were Dick Morgan and
