THE PITTSBTJRGr DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 189a

'IwasrT t Necessary for HM
to Modify His Economi
cal Resolution
IN ORDER TO HAYE IT PASS.
Any Amount of Fun Afforded Both
Sides of the House.

Xincty-Five iiemlers Who Stood Up .Against

DICKEXS OX THE FLOOR OF TEE HOUSE
"Washington, D. C., Jan. 13. The
House of Representatives of Ihe Fifty
second Congress has declared its' emphatic
Inutility to subsidies, bounties and laud
grants, and pronounced in favor of rigid re
trenchment in the appropriations of the
Government. The Holman resolution in its
entirety was to-day finally anopted by the
House, hut not until after its author had
ensented that it should be interpreted in a
mse "broad enough to permit any and all
appropriate and legitimate legislation." ,
The advocates of the "World's Fair appro
priation are to-night finding great comfort 1
in the interpretation, and even the friends
of the mail steamship subsidies and sugar
bounty maintain that the pledge of the
Government having' been once passed, ap
propriations to fulfill those obligations are
bat "appropriate and legitimate legisla
tion." Holman Heady With Another Surprise.
"When the resolutions were rcached.in the
order of unfinished business, it was gener
ally expected that Mr. Holman, who had
himself Yesterday entered a motion for the
reconsideration of the order lor the previous
question, would consent to an amendment
modifying the sweeping character of the
second resolution. But the Chairman of the
.Appropriations Committee surprised all but
a fear of bis confidants by refusing to do
anything of the kind.
"Mr. Speaker," said Mr. Holman, '.last
evening I entered a motion to reconsider
the vote by which the previous question
bad been ordered. On reflection, I desire,
fl am so authorized under the rules, to
"withdraw that motion."
'That can only be done by unanimous
conwnt, " said the Speaker.
"Then I ask tor unanimous consent," said
Mr. Holman, and no one objecting, bis
motion was withdrawn,
rienty of Latitude Concealed.
"Upon a careful examination of the sec
ond resolution," resumed Mr. Holman,
asd after consulting with gentlemen whose
lodgments are entitled to great respect, I
have reached the conclusion, for myself at
least,that the resolution is broad enough to
permit any and all appropriate aud legiti
mate legislation "
"Like the Chicago Fair, for instance?"
inquired Mr. Heed." Laughter.
lo this query Mr. Holman returned no
answer.
"As I said." resumed Mr. Holman, "it is,
I think, broad enough to coverall appropri
ate ainJ legitimate legislation, including all
legislation like private pension bills and
the like, as they all belong to departments
of the Government. The three great de
partments of the Government cover the
whole field of Government administration."
"I would lilw to vote for the first resolu
tion, but not for the second." said Mr. Hen
derson, of Iowa. "I ask that it be divided."
A Division of the Resolution.
Th Speaker pro tern, decided that the
resolution could be divided.
Mr. Dingley, ol Maine, inquired whether
it would be in order to move to commit the
resolution, with instructions to report back
ii's resolution read yesterday, broadening
the cop? of the declaration, but the Speak
er ruled tiat it would not, as one motion
had already been yesterday made to com
mit. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, after consulta
tion with Mr. Dingley, withdrew his de
mand for a division of the resolution, but
Mr. Traeey, of New York, at once renewed
the demand, mi the question was taken on
the first resolution, which leads as follows:
Bosomed. Tint m tlie judgment of this
'ton tin graiiunjr of subsidies or bounties
i"fcmHT, in money. puMic lands, bonds,
Vln indorse ment or by pledge of the pub
i credit. t promote spcci.il private indus
T'ick or pnttniris-e-, or corporations, inde
jiencVi.t of the question of the constitu
tional power or Consre-s to make ouch
grants, l unju-t and impolitic, and in raanl
:fit conflict with tlie spirit of our repub
lican Institutions. a it directly tends to
create ana footer the wealth of favored
cies at the expense of tlio whole people
wio bear the burdens of government, and
manifestly furnishes undue cnl.irgcment "of
great private estate- a policy which a gov
runient of tlie people cannot justly or
! ly rncourage by any form of favoritism
mi legislation.
This was adoptedyeas, 227; nays, 41.
Intrle-ting Vote on the Stcond Hair.
The question was then taken on the
fseeond resolution,. Mr. Lvnch, of "Wiscon
sin. iiiat.,ig a vain effort to present a sub
rstiiute. The resolution is as follous:

3Ir. Jloluian Talks ot She Matter.
An Associated Press reporter asked Mr.
Holman whether lie enr.sidcred that his
resolution would pieclude an appropriation
or loan for the benefit of the World's
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
"Tim: will depend," said he, "upon the
construction placed upon the legislation
that we have already had in regard to the
"World's Fair. I liave not the different acts
sufficiently in mind to be able to express
any opinion on the subject It will depend
to what extent the Government has been
committed to the World'. Fair. "Whatever
appiopriations arc made in confonuitv with
those resolutions have got to be made lor
public purposes. Appropriations can be
made for a public object, and the "World's
Fair appropriations will depend upon pre
ceding legislation."
After the adoption of these resolutions
the House took up for consideration the re
ports of lue Committee on Accounts, assign
ing cletLs to the various committees of the
House, and a diseussion ensued as to
whether there was not extravagance in
these assignments.
Mr. Bfcfcerson, of Kentucky, ouoted
statistics to' 3how that there was undue ex
penditure in this respect, and favored the
HOLMAN
minority report, cutting oflseveral of these
clerks.
Ttaara's Son and His Bounce.
In advocating the report of the committee,
Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, incidentally re
ferred to the investigation of the Pension
Office during the last Congress, and said
that since that investigation it had come to
be known that Commissioner Eaum's sou
had sold places in the Pension Bureau, and
for that offense had been removed by the
Secretary olthe Interior.
Messrs. Bbatner, of Louisiana; Moses, of
Indiana; Snow, of Illinois, and "Wise, of
Virginia, favored the majority report of the
committee, and Mr. Mansur, of Missouri,
favored the minoritv report.
Mr. Cummings, of New York, rebuked
the House for voting -regularly for the ap
propriation for a clerk to every Senator, vet
now proposing to cut down its own commit
tee clerks. He maintained there was not a
man in the House to-day who was not pay
ing out of his own pocket from 50 cents to
51 a day for postage. For what? For the
business of his constituents. Now it was
proposed, in addition, that the chairmen of
committees should be compelled to do their
own committee work.
Bnntelle Draws a Farallel.
Mr. Houtelle, of Maine, began an amus
ing spe?eh on the situation by the exclama-.
tion: "Wl:a: a comical old humbug the
Democratic partv is?" Year after year, he
said, foiigress after Congress, there had
bveii he -amc old tune on one string. He
had s-n here vetcrday and looked upon the
reirara'-ie spectacle presented by the gen
tlemu'i from Indiana (Mr. Holman), who
aiiiiiiii!su-rd to the brethren around him
in allop.ihie doses the medicine of retrench
ment and reform. There was something
familiar about it, and he had tried to recall
what it was. Hehad at last been able to do so.
It all came back to him. It was very simple,
history was repeating itself. The perform
ance was simply a repetition of the por
trayal by Dickens and the caricature by
Cruikshack, who had depicted that famous
event when "Mrs. Squeers" gathered the
boys around her and administered to them
with a long spoon their dose of retrench
ment ana reiorm in tne snape oi uruuwum
3nd treacle for the purpose of breaking
down their appetite and saving provisions.
(.Laughter).
Now, according to the prearranged form,
"Mr. Pecksniff" arose, and, with taffy in
one hand and an amendment in the other,
undertook to follow the great onward cause
of retrenchment and reform. Then the
other friend, the "Eev. Chadband,"of Kcn
ucky, (referring to Mr. Breckenridge),
came" in with "Bless you, my children,"
and pronounced his benediction. Laugh
ter. Ilockery Too Frctty for His Tarty.
There was a gentleman from Missouri
(Mr. Dockery), a gentleman who was
haunted all the time by the nightmare of
apprehension that he was too good-looking
to be taken for a Democratic statesman, and
therefore felt obliged on all occasions to
keep up the assurance of Democratic party
orthodoxy. After all this came the "Deus
ex Machina," the gentleman from Indiana
(Mr. Holman), undertaking to start the re
fcrm machinery by protestations; undertak
ing to deal with public affairs as if they
were a nickel-in-the-slot machine, and even
then attempting to cheat the machine by
dropping in a bogus nickel. Laughter.
Mr. Boutelle then proceeded to inveigh
against the Democratic party for its lack of
patriotism, saying that in the last six months
lie had heard once of one patriotic remark
being made by a Democrat, and that Demo
crat was a w. oman. He referred to the esti
mable wife of the present Governor of the
great State of New York. That lady, on
visiting the Executive mansion, which for
two terms had been occupied by Democratic
batchelors," had in an interview with a
newspaper correspondent alluded to the
necessity of refurnishing the house.
.America a Fine Shopping Plnce.
She had said on that occasion that it was
not necessary, in order to put the Gover
nor's mansion in order, to go beyond the
confines of the American republic. Ap
plause on the Itcnublican side. She had
further said that in order to buy herdaught
er's trousseau she had found little occasion
to go beyond the shops of "Watertown. "When
the -firms there did not have the article
called for she would buy them of the manu
facturers or the importers. (At the word
"importers" the Democrats burst into
laughter, as if the ladv's remark strength
ened the Democratic view of the situation.)
Mr. Boutelle then quoted further from Mrs.
Flower's interview, in which she states
that she is an American through and
through, and that she has yet to find a bet
ter and cheaper place in which to shop than
in American stores. Apnlause on Repub
lican side.
Mr. Boutelle said in conclusion: "The
people of this great country are going to
have a happy and a prosperous new yar,
in spite of the Democratic partv, thegen
tleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman) and his
little slot machine" Applause on Repub
lican side.
American China for the 'White House.
Mr. Compton, of Maryland, commended
to 1'resiUent and Mrs. Harrison the good
advice given by Mrs. Flower esijeciallv in
regard to the purchase of china. Laughter
and applause on Democratic side.
Mr. C'immings, of New York, wished to
add to the speech of the gentleman from
Maine this fact: That under the two Demo
cratic administrations of the State of New
YorH the State debt had been reduced
?7,000,000, and that 53,000.000 had been left
in the Treasury when Governor Hill re
tired that treasury having been empty
when Grover Cle eland entered into office.
Applause on Democratic side
Mr. Fnloe, of Tennessee, said that he had
also enjoyed the debate of yesterday and
the very harmless debate of to-day, and he
enjoyed them much better than he enjoyed
seeing the representatives of the people
marched out of the hall 12 months ago by
the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Reed) "un
der parliamentary law." He thought that
the resolution of the gentleman from In
diana (Mr. Holman) might be characterized
as the outburst of public conscience. It was
broad enough to let in the Chicago Exposi
tion and anything that related to the carry
ing on of the Government.
Tables Turned by tho People.
The gentleman from Maine (Mr. Bou
telle) had spoken of "Mrs. Squeers," and of
the fact that she had administered brim
stone and treacle to the boys. If the gentle
man had read the story further be would re
member that after a time the Students had
overturned the administration, and takinr
the long spoon, compelled her to take the
brimstone herself. That was exactly what
the people had done. Twelve months ago
th.e Republicans had compelled the Demo
cratic party to take brimstone and treacle,
but the people had overturned their ad
ministration, and the Democratic party was
now giving brimstone to the Republicans.
Laughter. He did not think it was
courteous in the gentleman from Maine
(Mr. Boutelle) to read a newspaper inter
view with a ladv whom he claimed for a
friend, and who was the wife of the Gov
ernor of New York. But as he had done so,
he should tell the House where the last set of
china bought for the "White Hotibe had come
from, and whether it was not of foreign
manufacture. Laughter on Democratic
side.
Wanted to T"Iap His Wings.
A Republican member, rising to a point
of order that Mr. Enloe was not addressing
himself to the question under consideration,
Mr. Enloe expressed the hope that the pre
siding officer would allow him to flap his
wings a little. In the last Congress the
Czar had chopped them off with a hatchet, '
and he had to go to his own State to seek
that freedom of debate which belonged to an
American citizen. Laughter.
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, withdrew his
amendment, and although Mr. Raines, of
New York, was seeking the floor, Mr. Rusk,
of Maryland, demanded the previous ques
tion. Mr. Reed, of Maine Is the effect of that
to chop off debate? Laughter. Drly
"We will have to goto our own States in
order to have that freedom of debate which
belongs to an American citizen. Laughter.
Tiie minority substitue, providing for 24
clerks, was defeated yeas 84, nays 164
aud the niajority report, which provides for
37 clerks, was agreed to.
Mr. Fyan, of "Missouri, who hss been ob.
1
sent on account of sickness, was then
sworn in, but his health was so feeble that
he was obliged to take the oath of oflico
from his seat.
Bills Introduced and Referred.
Mr. Hatch, of Missourri. introduced a
bill amending the Presidental succession
act so as to add the office of Secretary of
Agriculture after that of Secretary of the
Interior. Referred. Then, oa motion of
Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, the House
adjourned until Monday.
The following bills were introduced to
day and referred:
By Mr. Newberry, of Illinois To test
the methods of spelling in schools, and .ap
propriating 100,000 to establish a spelling
school at the World's Fair.
By Mr. Lane, of Illinois Placing salt,

FORCING THE ISSUE.
rnlI.ADEI.FUlA TO WITHHOLD TAXES
FROM THE STATE.
This Action to Be Taken to Compel the
Commonwcaltb to Come to Timo in tho
Litigation Growinc Ont or the Bardsley
Business An Embarrassing Position.
Pnn.ADEi.rniA, Jan. 15. After several
months of inactivity the committee of Coun
cils to investigate the affairs of ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley met to-night. The
meeting was principally to clear up the
business of the committee prior to the draw
ing up of its report. The final report of
the experts investigating the use made by
Bardsley of the public funds in his private
business was presented. Ihe report con
tained practically nothing that has not been
public property a long time.
A short report was also presented, snow
ing the alleged overdrafts of the Keystone
National Bank, but the experts who made
the investigation can't vouch for its ac
curacy, owing to the manner ill which the
bank's books were manipulated. Mr. Smith
crs, a member of the committee, said his at
tention had been called to the fact that
the State, pending the litigation arising
from the Bardsley defalcations, was with
holding money from the city dnc it, and
tlie city was doing the same to the State.
By the methods pursued by the State it
would probably be long before the litiga
tion just.ended shall have repaid itself. In
view of the situation, Mr. Smithers intro
duced the following resolution to be sub
mitted to Councils:
That the Mayor be requested to take such
steps as will result in tho payment by tho
State of monev duo and to become due by it
to the citypendinjr the litigation between
tho citv and State concerning the defalca
tion of "John Bardsley, and that until such
results are secured the City Treasurer be re
quested to withhold pavment to the State of
the fund3 paid into the Citv Treasury for tho
benefit or the State, and that the Mayor be
further requested to endeavor to secure an
amicable settlement of the differences be
tween the city and the Stato arising out of
the above-mentioned matters.
It was suggested that the resolution would
place the City Treasurer in an embarrass
ing position, as he acts 33 fiscal agent of the
State. Tf he refused to rav over monev
( collected by him for the State the Common-
wealtu might deiauit nis bono. .air. omitn
ers said he recognized this, but he wished
to force matters to an issue. The resolution
was adopted. The committee then ad
journed and will report to Councils.
IMPORT RATES A BUGBEAE
That the Katlroads Are Trjlnc to Make One
of Their Pets.
New .York, Jan. 15.' Special There
was a meeting to-day at the Trunk line
office to discuss the question of import
rates. It was the first meeting of the
kind held in a long time, and was
attended by the New England roads,
Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk and many
roads as far south as Newport News, which
have seaboard terminals. The fact is that
import rates have been cxtremclv low for a
long time,.and, although the inter-State
commerce law will not permit import traffic
at lower rates than the inland rail
rate from the seaboard to the
point of destination, yet it was felt
that this was being evaded bv several com
panies, and particularly by the Chesapeake
and Ohio, which has been building up ex
tensive traffic from Newport News to the
"West.
As usual, the roads all agreed to main
tain full tariff rates on all important
frieghts, and the steamship lines from
Montreal to Newport News will be asked
to go into a regular agreement to maintain
rates in connection with the roads.
SUING A MILLIQNAIEE ESTATE.
A Chicago Man Claims He "Was Cheated
Out of 8750,000 at Detroit.
Dktkoit, Jan. 15. A suit involving a
large amount of money in connection with
rthe Hammond estate, was begun in the
"United States Circuit Court to-day. 3t 31.
Towle, the plaintiff, of Chicago, was at one
time a partner of G. H. Hammond in the
meat packing buEinesi. "When Towle ex
pressed a wish to retire in 1882, Hammond,
it is alleged, bought him out, the price paid
being about 5250,000.
The present cla"im of Towle is based upon
the charge that at the time he sold out the
property" was very materially undervalued,
and that his interest in the business, a
proved by subsequent litigation, was much
greater than the price he was paid. This,
he claims, was rendered possible through
Hammond's exclusive control of the boiiks
and, finances. If be had had his deserts at
that time, Towle claims, he would have re
ceived at least $1,000,000 or 5750,000 more
than was paid him.
JUDGE B0TKIN ON THE STAND.
Tho
Murderers of Sheriff Dnnn in the
Kansas War on Trial.
Liberal, ICax., Jan. 15. Judge Botkin
was the first witness this morning at the
preliminary hearing of the nine men charged
with implication in the murder of Sheriff
Dunn. His testimony revealed nothing
not already published, except the fact that
he had no legal evidence as to who the out
laws were.
1L P. Laribce, Under Sheriff, who was
with the Sheriff's posse, told the story over
again. Someone, he said, addressed tho
leader of the mob as "By," who is
supposed to have been "B." Y." Orner,
one of the prisoners. Mr. Laribee said
he recognized "By" Ornor in the party.
F. R, Rogland, County Treasurer of Seward
county, testified that he saw J. J. Leach,
'"By" Orner, Rowan Chase and San Minton
come out of the canvon just after the firing
ceased. He said lie knew them well and
positively identified them.

Chicago, Jan. 15. The Brush Electric
Company, of Cleveland, manufacturers of

4FTER A NEW TEIAL.
James N. Taylor's Attorneys Anjue
for Another Hearing In
THE BOWMASTER KILLING CASE.
Tiro Indictments ire Found Against Ex
Jfayor Fearson.
MATTEES IN GENERAL ABOUT COURTS
A motion was made yesterday in Crim
inal Court for n new trial in the case of
James N. Taylor,convicted of manslaughter
in the killing of Harry Bowmaster, at Du
qnesne. The motion was argued by J. R.
McQuaide and "W. S. Nesblt for the de
fendant, and opposed by District Attor
ney Burleigh. Mr. McQuaide sub
mitted tbree points as the basis for
his argument. First, he said the verdict
was against the weight of the evidence and
was not clearly beyond a reasonable doubt;
second, he disputed the theory advanced by
District Attorney Burleigh in the latter's
address to the jury that a man shot through
the heart will die instantly, and third, he
claimed to have later evidence that Tay
lor's life and home had been threatened by
the deceased. Mr. McQuaide went into a
detailed explanation of the circumstances
under which the shooting was done and
claimed that the jury must have held Tay
lor to the strictest possible account for his
actions.
Kcminded of Previous Itemarks.
Judge Porter here reminded Mr. Mc
Quaide that he had expressly charged the
jury that if they found that in Taylor's
mind, there was an apparent necessity to
give him the benefit of it. Mr. McQuaide
then referred to the strike at the Duqucsne
Steel Works last July, during which Taylor
had chosen to continue at his work, but by
so doing had gained the ill-will of many
fellow-workmen and especially of the mem
bers of the labor organizations, and several
times had to be escorted to and from work
in the care of deputy sheriffs. From that
time on he was apprehensive of danger, and
when he saw Bowmaster at his window he
thought he or his family was in danger.
"W. S. Ncsbit followed, taking up the
question of the extent to which an attorney
may depart from the evidence in a case, anil
build up a theory of his own in his argu
ment to a jury.
Verdict on the Argument.
He claimed that the District Attorney
had by his skill worked up a theory of his
own, apart from anything brought out in
the evidence, and tecured the verdict ou
his own argument of .the case. He also
claimed that Mr. Burleigh had made a mis
take by arguing that death must have been
instant because the deceased bad been shot
through the heart.
Mr. Burleigh only spoke a few minutes,
but maintained his original theory of the
case. He. too, claimed to have additional
testimony in the case, that he secured since
the trial was completed, and he thought Mr.
Taylor had better be satisfied with the way
it stands now.
Judge Porter reserved his decision until
to-day. Counsel on both sides of the case
seem confident the matter will be decided
favorably to them, but Judge Porter's
comments on the case during the argument
did not seem very favorable to a new trial.
EAST END BTIBGLABS SENTENCED.
Scott Gets Four Years and Young Kicliard
gon Two.
In the Criminal Court yesterday Robert
Richardson and George Scott were tried
and convicted of burglary for robbing the
house of John Hazlett, on "Ward street,
Oakland. Scott was also convicted of enter
ing the house of tho Rev. David Shnnalian,
of Allegheny. "When called up for sentence,
both men were asked if they had ever been
convicted of crime before. Scott said he
had not. "When questioned he denied hav
ing served a term in the Joliet penitentiary
for robbery. At this, District Attorney
Burleigh had brought over from jail a
prisoner named Courtney. The latter had
told in jail that Scott had told him he had
served a term in Joliet. "When placed
under oath, however, Courtney denied that
Scott ever told him this.
Richardson admitted having been con
victed before Judge Magee for robbery and
sentence had been suspended. Judge Porter
sentenced Scott four years and six months
to the penitentiary, and Richardson two
years and six months to the penitentiary.
John O'Donnell pleaded guilty to break
ing into the office of the Valley Coal and
Lime Company on Forty-seventh street
January 1, and stealing 10 cents worth of
tobies. On account ol O'Donnell's youth
and previous good character sentence was
suspended.
John Slattery, convicted of two charges
of felonious assault and battery, was sen
tenced six years and six months to the
penitentiary.
"William Billups was tried and convicted
of felonious assault on Mamie O'Leary.
Both live in Sharpsburg.
Churches' Want Free Gas.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
the M. F. Church of Sewickley and the
Sewickley Regular Baptist Church against
the Independence Natural Gas Company, of
Sewickley. The plaintiffs state that in the
ordinance granting the defendants the right
to lay pipes in the borough, is a considera
tion that the gas company is to supply '"all
buildings used for public and divine wor
ship" with gas free of charge. The gas com
pany accepted the provisions, but recently
demanded pay for all gas used by the plain
tiffs up to April 18UA They threatened
that in case the bill for gas was not paid,
they would shut off the plaintiffs' supply of
gas on January 1G. An injunction is there
fore asked ior to restrain the company
from so doing, and a decree to compel them
to comply with the provisions of the
ordinance.
A Curative Act Test Dismissed.
Judge Stowe yesterday handed down an
order dismissing the bills filed by C. S.
Gray and Noah Rubright against the city
of Pittsburg. The bills were brought in
Common Pleas No. 1 and were among the

Damage to an Ocean Steamer's
Steering
Gear Caused by a "Wave.
New York, Jan. 15. Special. A cu
mulative wave several rollers merged into
one caused the Hamburg-American steam
ship California , to put back into this
port to-day with her steerage gear
badly damaged and her cargo
shifted. She sailed for Hamburg on
Thursday, with 204 cattle in pens on deck,
and a general cargo. She ran into heavy
cross seas, caused, Captain Doescher thinks,
by a merge of two storms. The great wave
rolled aboard the ship about 8 o'clock
Thursday night, when she was 60 miles east
of Sandy Hook. It" struck her just abaft
amidships, coming over the starboard side,
smashing several cattle pens and setting a
dozen cattle free.
The ship was forced nearly on her beam
ends, and when she recovered she had a list
often degrees to port, and her steering gear
was broken so it was useless. The ship was
headed for Sandy Hook as soon as possible,
with jury steering geat. She anchored out
side the bar, in a blinding snow storm, and
when the air cleared she storted in. She
signaled for tugs, -aud the Palmer, Stevens
and Millard escorted her up the North
river.

St. Joseph Capitalists Will r.rect a Biscuit

St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 15. "When the
American Biscuit and Manufacturing Com
pany obtained possession of the two large
cracker factories in this city the local man
ager protested strongly that it was not a

one of the lactones, and tho price of soda
crackers was raised 2 cents a pound.

Light Wells Developed and the Pro
duction Is Off Once More.
NO NEW DRILLING BEING DONE.
Quick Change of the No. 4 Elliott From a
Gasser to a Producer.
TWO DRY HOLES FINISHED IESTERDAI
The McDonald field has taken a fresh
start on the downward pathv For several
days it has been slightly inclined toward an
increase, and some wells have been finished
up which gave to the field some of its old
time interest. Patterson & Jones No. 0
on the Kelso gave the territory an added in
terest when it came in at 100 barrels an hour.
No new territory has been opened up, how
ever, and a succession ot gushers of the
kind which were drilled in July, August
and October are not looked for. The field
has been defined. On the line from Mc
Curdy to the Jumbo mines, below McDon
ald, "it has been thoroughly drilled over.
Along the sides and edges enough wells
have been put down to cover all of
her oil producing rock. If there are
more paying pools the wells which are now
being drilled will certainly enter them.
There are now few new rigs going up, and
in fact the rig builders who crowded the
field a few months ago have now nothing to
do. It is only where the operators have to.
drill to hold their leases that new wells are
being started.
There are now 305 producing wells in the
field, and the estimated production of these
wells yesterday was only 29,000 barrels, or
1,500 barrels, less than the day before. This
makes an average of only 95 "barrels to the
well. According to the gauges given be
low 18 of these 305 wells are making 14,310
barrels a day, or almost half of the daily
output of the entire field. Notwithstanding
the fact that the McDonald field is
rapidly declining it is still by 10,000 bar
rels a day, the biggest white sand poo ever
discovered. The most remarkable feature
about it is that it should hold up as well as
it does. It exceeded by 25,000 barrels the
expectations ot its most enthusiastic admir
ers, and it now holding out with a tenacity
that challenges the admiration of its
enemies.
Light Wells the Rule.
The wells completed yesterday were all
light. None were reported big and only
one well came in which could be classed a3
n producer. It is Guckert & Learns' on the
Bailey. Last evening it was reported to be
flowing at the rate of 200 barrels a day. It
is in the Gordon sand only and does not de
velop any new territory. The Forest Oil
Company drilled its No. 0, on the Herron
farm into the fifth sand yesterday and got a
dry hole. It is located" south of the old
Baldwin well about 1,000 feet. It was good
for nearly 40 barrels a day in the Gordon
sand, but owing to the deeper drilling this
has been reduced to eight or ten barrels a
dav.
The Northficld Oil Company, which
is the producing end of the Royal
Gas Company, finished up its
No. 4 on the McDonald Bros.' farm. It
was drilled to a depth of 2,285 feet, or 25
feet below the bottom of the fifth sand.
Only a slicht showing of oil was found in
the Fifty Foot and the Gordon sands. The
fifth sand was of a very poor quality, and
the well has been given up as"
a dry hole. Mellon & Gartland
were four or five feet in the
fifth sand at their No. 2 on the
Taylor farm last night, but had failed to
strike a pay stream. Jennings, tiuuey 3i
Co. expected their No. 2 on the Matthews
heirs' farm to.reach the sand last evening,
but at a late hour it had not been heard
from. The Forest Oil Company's No. 2 on

expected. The drillers thought they were

shut down, but when they started to drill
the well in yesterday they found that in
stead of the sand they had entered a shell,
and late last evening they had not struct
the pay.
Changed From Gas to Oil.
The No. 4 Elliott belonging to the De
vonian Oil Company made a quick but
gratifying change early yesterday morning.
LaterThursday evening it was drilled into
the fifth sand, and developed into an enor
mous gasser. It.put out the gas at astonish
ing rate for several hours, when without a
moment's warning it changed to oil, and
yesterday afternoon it was doing 25 barrels
an hour. It is located near the Miller farm,
and is 150 feet southwest of No. 1. The
same company's No, 5 on the 'Elliot
has just been cosed with 6y
casinz and their No. 1 Joe Robb is
down 900 feet Learn & Burson have the
last casing in their well on the McKinney
lot back of the station at "Willow Grove.
Guckert & Steele have a rig up for their
No. 11 on the Mevey farm, and are building
a risr for No. 12. Learn & Bur-
son's well on the Patterson lot is
making 500 barrels a day. The Forest
Oil Company's No. 4 on the 'Shaffer
farm should get the fifth sand to-day. Their
No. 1 on the Sam Sturgeon, which is known
as the "hurry up" on account of it having
to be drilled within 34 days after being
started, was in the Gordon sand last night.
It is located northeast of Oakdale and is
being put down with the expectation of
hitting an extension of the Agnes Kemp
pool.
The Forest has started to drill Nos. 3 apd
4 on the Jane McGill farm, and is building
a rirr for its No. 1 on the Sarah MeVey lot,
and for No. 2 on the James "Walker. The
"Wheeling Gas Company has the Jast casing
in its No. 2 on the Moo'rhead farm, a mile
southwest of McDonald. The second string
of casing has been put into its No. 3 Moor
head. They are shut down at their
No. 1 on the John J. George farm, while
waiting for a new cable. The same com
pany's No. 1 on the "W. J. Kelso is down
1,400 feet. Their No. 3 on the David Mc
Clay farm, located three miles west of
"Washington, is drilling near the fifth sand;
No. 1 John McClav is near the Gordon
sand, and No. 1 on the McClay Bros. prop
erty is 600 feet deep. Learn & Burson have
started on the Banscott lot, at "Willow
Grove. The well drilled-by the Liberty Oil
Company on the Cunningham lot. at Wil
low Grove, was purchased at Sheriff sale by
"William Guckert.
Took Fire Trom Gordon Gas.
Early yesterday morning the rig at Hersle
& Co.'s No. 1, on the Fife farm, took fire
from gas in the Gordon sand,
and a tool dresser who was ic
the derrick was slightly burned. The
driller did not know he was so close to the
Gordon, from which the Oakdale Gas Com
pany gets its gas in this vicinity, and had a
coal fire burning in the derrick stove.
When he saw the gas coming he shouted to
the tool dresser who picked up a bucket of

intention of extinguishing the fire.
The gas in the meantime had filled the
derrick and a terrific explosion occurred.
Both men were knocked down and stunned.
"When they jumped to their feet, the roof of
the derrick was on fire. Luckily a hose was
handy and the flames were soon subdued.
The connections had previously been made

A Detective for Dr. Qraves Says Mrs. "Wor
rell "Killed Mrs. Harnaby.
San. FKAuciscd Jan. 15. Detective
"Woods, of Denver, is in the city, claiming
that he has been employed by the friends oi
Dr. Graves, now under sentence of death at
Denver. ' He says that he has affidavits
from people in this city showing that Mrs.
Barnaby was not poisoned by Dr. Graves.
These affidavits, while not making direct
charges, insinuate that Mrs, Worrell, Mrs.
Uarnaby's nurse, did the poisoning; that
Mrs. "Worrell is known to have purchased
poisons here. Detective "Woods further
says that he has discovered that strychnine
was purchased here, ostensibly for Mrs.
Barnaby, the purchaser stating that it was
wanted to poison rats.
As Mrs. Barnaby boarded at hotels all
the time it is not probable she would use
strychnine for such a purpose. The detec
tive claims' he knows the party who
purchased the poison. Another affidavit
is from a servant at Arrowhead Springs
Hotel, San Bernardino county, where Mrs.
Baranaby stopped. It is stated that this
servant heard Mrs. AVorrcll say she wished
Mrs. Baranaby would die; that she was a
great trouble to her, and that the only
reason she stayed with her was in the hope
thai Mrs. Barnaby would leave her some
money in her will

A Frightful Freight Train "Wreck In Ohio
Which Cost Two Lives.
SPRlNGriELD, O., Jan. 15. Last night
there was a destructive wreck of a coal
freight train on the Ohio Southern Railway
in a wild, hilly, sparsely-settled part of
the country near Storm's station, Ross
county. The train was coming down a
steep curving grade alongside of a rugged,
rocky, wooded hill. The brakes failed to
work and the heavy train ran faster and
faster down the incline. At last the en
gine jumped the tracif into a ravine, and 21
loaded cars came jumping one after the
other on top of it.
"W". "W. Cochran, the engineer, has not
been seen sjnee the wreck. It is supposed
lie lies buried under the mass of cars and
coal. Fireman Harry Long, of Jackson
Court House, had a leg broken. Brakeman
Harry Ruse was killed. No other casual
ties have been reported. The two men who
were killed lved in Springfield. The loss
is not less than $20,000.
