The Commonwealth's side of the case -was taken care of by John Ilobb, while Thomas M. Marshall and B. B. Scandrett conducted the defense. Detective Glenn and Superintendent Jfuth, of the Allegheny police, testified to the arrest of the prisoner, and finding on him a dinner bucket containing a full set of burglar tools. They also testified that the prisoner told them he was a burglar by oc cupation, but that he had not doneany work in either of the two cities. Mrs. Kate Lyons testified to her house being entered on the night of February 13, and a lot of jew clrv stolen. She was awakened by the rtoHe madf by the intruder, and got a good glance at him. Sh was sure that the de fendant was that man, his face having made an impression on her that she could never forget. AX Al.lnt TRIED BY THE TJEFHNSK. The defen-e tried to prove an alibi for the prisoner. Three of the members of the Zonic family, flith whom he lived in Alle gheny, testified that the prisoner was laid up in the house with rheumatism from Feb ruary 7 to March 1. The defendant also made the same claim He made no expla nation of the burglar tools found on him, and was vcrj reticent and guarded in what ever answers he gave. In the argument to the jury Mr. Marshall scored the police as usual, savins: th.it, notwithstanding the Glenns and Muths, O'Maras, Coulsons and Fitrgeralds, burglaries still go on and pris oners saw their wnv out of jails. Mr. Robb made a ery able speech, scored the defend ant unmcrcifullv and defended f olice offi cers in general and detectives in particular. Judge MrClung's charge was a very fair one, and the jury retired.

An Unexpected Scene In the Dnrr Divorce Hearing: Yesterday. There was a little scene yesterday that was not ai-i. ertised on the bills of the Durr divorce case. Frank "W. Smith, the com missioner to take testimony, was jogging along pleasantly, while C. F. Mclvenna for J. K. Durr, Philip G. Pendleton for Mrs. Lucy J. Durr and S. A. Ammon for Mrs. Jarrett were skirmishing for points in the triangular fight, w hen all at once a witness' tctiniony made the fight quadrangular and gave a fourth lawjer employment Harry "Wells, Jormerly a night clerk at Durr's Hotel, had come all the way from Montana to set Mr . Durr straight "on the record concerning certain allegations made derogatory to her by Mr. Durr. Wells tes tifie that Mrs. Dnrr had not given him a certain fancy billiard brush. No sooner had he made the statement than Mr. Durr quietly arose and walked out He returned shortly after with Al Hciner, from Alderman McMasters" office, and at the conclusion of the hearing Mr. Heiner informed "Wells that he wanted him on a charge of laiceny, and the two repaired without any demonstration to the alder man's office, and after a short pow wow, At torney Joseph M. Friedman came into court and went on Mr. "Wells" bond to insure his appeerance at a hearing -his afternoon. Up to tho point named Mr. "Wells' testi mony went to put Mrs. Durr in good shape as to the charges of cruel treatment, and he 3lso a erred that on one occasion Mr. Durr, during Mrs. Durr's absence, had given a supper to Mrs. Jarrett. It would appear that Mr. Durr proposes that it it be shown that Mrs. Durr did not gi e Wells certain property he shall ex plain the manner in which it came into his possession. The whole affair was so quietly conducted that some people in the building did not know a hearing was in progress. The case promises to make a large amount of grist for the lawyers. WANT THEIR LIBERTY. Agents or a New York Book Firm Demand the Bight to Sell. Petitions were filed in the United States Circuit Court yesterday to secure the release of C D. Nichols and "William Tyerman from arrest in Titusville, Pa. Both men are resi dents of New York. They state that "they are agents for P. F. Collier, of New York, publisher of On'X a Week, an illustrated periodical. The paper and books accompany ing it are published in New York and sold by subscription.

Their rights, they claim, have been violated, and they ask that writs of habeas corpu: be issued to bring them before the court The writs were issued and Octobar 10 fixed for a hearing. The question at issue in the case has been decided a couple of times in the United States Courts. It has been held that a city or borough cannot make any ordinance im posing a tar on or restricting the business of a corporation or firm of another State, it being a violation of the United States Con stitution and contrary to the inter-State commerce laws.

THE PLAINTIFF SWOONS, Bat Judge Stowo Orders the Case of J. P. Fisher Against the Monongahela Con necting Company to Go On The At torney Pleads In Vain for a Postpone ment. The suit of J. P. Fisher against the Monongahela Connecting Railway Company was placed on trial yesterday before Judge Stowe. The case is an action for damages for injuries received by Fisher, who was struck by an engine The case was tried twice before, and has been to the Supreme Court "When the case was called for trial A. H. Clark, attorney for Mr. Fisher, asked for a postponement for the reason that his I collcajrne, T. 31. Marshall, was engaged in the Criminal Court. Judge Stowe reiused the request, and remarked that the case had been postponed three days because Mr. Clark was" engaged in the Supreme Court. Had he known Mr. Clark had a colleague he would not have granted that postpone ment. The calling of a jury was proceeded with, but before the trial commenced Mr. Fisher, who was seated behind his attorney, fell back in a faint. He was carried into an ante-room, where he recovered sufficiently in a short time to be removed to his home. He had been complaining for some time. Mr. Clark at this again asked for a post ponement Judge Stowe agaia refused and said that the case had been tried so often that thev must have Mr. Fisher's testimony in writinsr. Mr. Clark wanted his client present and offered to get a physician's cer tificate as to the genuineness of" his client's illness. He did not want to go to trial withont clirnt or colleague present Judge Stowe replied: "I have no donbt you can get 40 certificates from 40 physi cians. About the only trouble I have with the attorneys is to get them to go to trial and keep them from postponing their cases all the time. Go on with the case." The trial proceeded without Mr. Mar shall's or Mr. Fisher's presence. It is still on trial. THEY ARE NOW SEVEN.

Price 25c THE PITTSBURG F0RTY:TW0 THOUSAND Barrels of Oil Produced Yesterday in tlie McDonald Field. SEVERAL WELLS DRILLED DEEPER AndThcy Fulfill the Greatest .Expectations of Their Owners. MANX BITS NOW ON TOP OP THE SAND The production of the McDonald oil field was greater yesterday than at aiiy time since it was opened. It reached the 42,000 barrel mark, which is just about half the amount of oil put out in any one day by tho celebrated Bradford field. The territory from which this great production comes is not a twelfth the size of the big upper country pool. The relative size of the wells is scarcely comparable. Such gushers as are now being struck were never known before. They are the wonder of the ase, both to geologists and oil operators. Everybody is guessing how long they will last As it is they have surprised even the most sanguine, and may continue to do so for some time to come. There has been nothing like the present activity in the history of the bnsiness. The only spot that might compare with it is the Bradford pool when it was in its palmy aays. unerry urove was siumi in compari son, and died a sudden death before it was scarcely three months old. One great difference between these pools and Mc Donald is that Bradford and Cherry Grove were each so far away from any city that the people . who went to these places were compelled to remain there. Conse quently people built houses, laid out streetsj established municipal governments and prepared to remain. Bradford proved to be a large and prolific pool, and is still a bustling city. Cherry Grove was a mush room, and the inhabitants of its two centers of population disappeared in a night. Mc Donald would be another Bradford only for the proximity of Pittsburg. The thousands of men who nre interested in the field live in Pittsburg and visit the town every day. Every train on the Panhandle bound for the place is crowded to overflowing. Standing In the Car Aisles. Yesterday morning the train which left Pittsburg at 10:30 was made up of six pas senger coaches, five of which were filled with men bound for Oakdale, Noblestown and McDonald. At Mansfield a large dele gation got on from "Washington, and when the train pulled out ot JUansheld there were 30 men standing in the aisle of the smoking ing car. It is the same of returnine trains, the main street of the borough of McDonald was as crowded as Fifth avenue on Satur day night. Teams are as numerous as the derricks, and all are busy. Any place which serves a meal for transients is always crowded from 32 to 3 o'clock each day. Under a snreading maple tree, at the intersection of Merrimac avenue with Main street, an en terprising upper country individual has put up a stand that would serve as a team shed at a country church. In this crude habitation he has a tobacco store, a soft drinks counter and a hotel and restaurant. There are two long tables, with two grizzled men, in shirt sleeves and top boots, to wait upon the hungry customers. The seats con sist of rnde benches nailed to the floor, and the motto for patrons seems to be "Heaven helps those who help themselves." The pipe line office is in a little 12x20 frame building that was put up in an afternoon. A tent serves for a photograph gallery. There are no saloons, but a sick man with a short club could not make a de monstration without striking a man with a bottle in his pocket. "Wells are located everywhere, on front yards, back yards, graveyards and onion beds, with some of them scarcely a yard apart Features of the Field. McDonald Among the wells yester day the increase in the production of a number of them went to make up the 42,00Q barrels production of the field From among these were Guflfey, Murphy & Co.'s No. 1, on the Elliott, which was drilled deeper and when visited by The Dispatch reporter yesterday afternoon it was doing '180, barrels an hour. Glenn T. Braden, General Superintend ent of the National Transit Company, was on the ground with a force of men laying a six-inch line to the well. It is located about 800 feet northeast of their No. 2 Elliott, which is small. Then to the north east a little over a mile is Guffey, Murphy, Jennings & Co. 's No. 1 Baldwin, which was also agitated, and its output went up from 125 to 200 barrels an hour. Gartland & Hays' No. 3, on the Miller farm, which came in at 75 barrels an hour late "Wednes day night, had increased yesterday after noon 150 barrels an hour. Their No. 1, on the same farm, which has not been dis turbed since Monday, was putting out 150 barrels an hour also yesterday, and some oil was going to waste. The great Mevey well of Greenlee & Forst is still a gusher, notwithstanding some reports to the contrary which were in circulation yesterday morning. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon it was producing 360 barrels an hour steady. There is no doubt whatever but that AY. P. Bend's well is quite a good one now in the Gordon sand. In the 24 hours, end ing yesterday at noon, it had filled a 2r0 barrcll tank, and is considered good for 125 or 150 barrels a day from this stratum. Liggett, Haymaker & Co.'s well on the Toward lot is in the Gordon sand and is producing at the rate of 200 barrels. On Top of the Sand. ' There are nearly a dozen wells hi the field which are either on top of the last sand or elscin the Gordon. Roland & Co. got the tools out of their well on the Mc L.ain lot late Wednesday night, and were on top of the fifth sand last night. They 'will drill, into the rock to-day. George S.

's No. 2, on the Bell farm, adjoining the Mathews farm, is shut down on top of the fifth sand on account of the lack of pipe-line facili ties to take away the oil. Their No. 1 Herron farm is doing 40 barrels an hour. The-shell of the fifth sand has only been broken through, and it will not be drilled in until they are sure of the oil being sated. Guffey, Murphy & Co.'s No. 3 on the Elliott farm is in the Gordon sand and filled up several hundred feet. Gart land & Hay's No. 4 on the Miller farm is through the Gordon sand, and their No. 5, on the same property, is on top oi tne ijoraon. tfuckert Steele's X o. 2 Mevey, located 700 feet north of No. 1, will reach the Gordon by Monday, and their No. 3 will be in the same formation by the middle of next week. Guffey, Murphy and the Oakdale Oil Company's No. I, on the "Wallace farm, will be in the Gordon to-morrow. Guffey, Murphy, Jennings & Co. were about through the Gordon sand in their Herron No. 2 when The Dispatch scout left the well yesterday afternoon. It is only 300 feet southwest of the big Matthews well. Davis & MeClurg were on top of the fifth sand on the Ewing lot yesterday afternoon and shut down. Their well is making 125 barrels a day from the Gordon, and they will not drill into'the fifth until the oil can be saved. The People's Gas Com pany tubed its well on the Davidson lot yesterday. There was first-class fifth sand in this -ell, but on account of its proximity to the Koyal Gas Company'sNo. 3, Sauters, and Lecoriite and ir-ii:iA clinf lftf -ll : : t-i: jl-. Vallilee's short lot well, it is believed that tlieTOck was drained by these two gushers. tiuHey, JMurpny ana ine Uakdale Oil Com pany's No. -1 Sap Sturgeon, and No. 1 Sturceon arc both in the Gordon and show ing up well for produceis from that sand.

Wednesday evening the boiler at the Smith well," in .Florence, Washington county, blew up with great force. The well is located on the Stephen Smith farm on the edge of the village, and visitors are fre quent At the time of the accident a num ber of young people were at the well, a crowd of bois being only a few feet away from the boiler. The bottom was torn out of the boiler, and the main part blown a distance of 90 feet up the hill, and was left in exactly the same position it first stood in. Coaf was thrown a couple hundred yards and the boiler door was blown about 100 yards. Strange to say, no one was hurt. The cause of the explosion is supposed to be because the water was allowed to get too low. The well is about due. Twenty Cents for "Waste Oil. The Beaver refinery, of Washington, is paying 25 cents a barrel for the waste oil from the McDonald field, which escapes down the creek. In consequence at least half a dozen residents along the run have built dams and tanks, and are pumping the escaping oil into the tanks. One man is re ported to have secured 3,000 barrels. The refinery sends its tank cars after the oil. Ohio's Production Falling Off. St. Marys, O., Oct. 8. A thorough re view of the Ohio oil fields shows that the production from this formidable field will fall far short of that of last yc,ar. This is attributed greatly to the decrease in pro duction of the famous Allen and Wood county fields, and the great St. Marys reser voir pool alone has saved the production from a far more disastrous decline. In the reservoir field wells are coming in daily at the rate of 200 to 400 barrels each, though this field also received a blow in the strik ing of a dry ho e on the Blew farm, in the very center of whafwas supposed to be a lake of oil. The average daily production of the Ohio field is now about 55,000 bar rels, but 15,000 more than the new Mc Donald field iniFennsylvania. Buns and shipments from the Ohio wells amount only to 28,000 barrels, while oil now in tanks here amounts to fullv 25,000,000 barrels. Features of Yesterday's Markets.
