London, Jnly 12. Up to this evening
(he Conservatives have elected 210 mem
hen of the new House of Commons, the
Liberals 179, the anti-Parnellites 35, the
rarnellite? 3 and the Unionists 31. The
net Liberal gain is 37, while the party only
Wanted 34 in order to extinguish the Govern
ment majority.
The 7?me says it is not manifest that Mr.
Gladstone will have an easy task in com
pelling the Government to resign. Lord
Salisbury '""111 be perfectly entited to await
the issue of the attack. The Government
is opposed, not to one party, but to two, if
not three, which mnst ally to form a major
ity. It remains to be seen whether Mr.
'Glndstone is able to form such an alliance.
Tbe Daily JTtza' sprcial from Edinburgh
says: In view of Saturday's fatigues it
was decided in council at Dalmeny Park
that Mr. Gladstone should dispense with
the cxrriage tour and go to Penicuick by
train, but hearing of the profound disap
pointment of the villages he was expected
to visit Mr. Gladstone determined this
(Monday) morning to pretace his speech by
a 20-mile drive. Les bunting than usual
was displayed along the road owing to
changes oi programme and the shorter
route taken, but there was a repetition of
the ovations witnessed last week, including
tbe presentation of numerous bouquets and
the running of crowds along with the car
riage. Mr. Gladstone Speaks In a Cliarch.
On the arrival of the party in Penicuick,
an old man of 85 who had walked five miles,
was rewarded by being introduced to Mr.
Gladstone. The party took tea in the manse
adjoining the United Presbvterian church,
where the speech was delivered. The edi
fice seats 700 people, but tickets had been
issued for 900. It wai one of the most in
telligent audiences Mr. Gladstone has ad
dressed in the present campaign.
The Heckling incident to-day, in the
absence of the implacable brewer, lacked
the humor and picturesqueness of the Cors
torphine episode. The audience listened
impatiently to the long-winded questions,
and rose to cheer Mr. Gladstone on his
departure.
Mr. Gladstone returned to Dalmeny on a
special train. Large and enthusiastic
crowds were to be seen at every station as
the train flashed by.
Mr. Balfour addressed the Midlothian
electors at "West Calder vesterdav in snn-
port of Mr. "Wauchop. He said under Mr.
Gladstone's plan of retaining Irish repre
sentation at Westminster, there would al
ways be a body willing to bring pressure for
Jti own purposes. Though good for them,
this would not be good for the country. It
is a profound mistake to suppose home rule
would remove the necessity of coercion.
The ofienses with which the coercion act had
to deal were more likelv to be committed
under a Home Eule Parliament than under
the Imperial Parliament. By granting
home rule tbey would add to the difficul
ties. .Appealing to Fcottlsh National Pride.
The people of Ulster are of the same race
as the Scotch themselves, and if the story of
Scotland in the last three centuries means
anything, it means that they are a race
that would not submit under any circum
stances to tyranny in the government of
Ireland.
The election in which the greatest interest
is felt is progressing in Scotland to-day.
This is in the Midlothian district. Partv
feeling in the district is raised to fever heat,
and the polling was never before known to
be so heavy. In 1885 Mr. Gladstone had a
majority of 4,631 in this district, and in 1880
he was returned without opposition. This
year, however, the Liberal Unionists de
cided toput a candidate in the field, and
Colonel Wauchope was nominated to oppose
the Liberal leader. He has made an active
canvass of the district, as has also Mr. Glad
stone, and the Colonels work is evidently
bearing fruit. So far as can be judged from
polling at this stage of the election there
promises to be a large reduction in Mr.
Gladstone's former majority.
The Unionists are working determinedly
with the sole object of reducing the major
ity ofMr. Gladstone, as not even the most
sanguine of them have any hope of defeat
ing him. Vehicles of all descriptions are
conveying voters to the polling places.
The Result Unknown Until To-Day.
The churchmen are voting for Colonel
"Wauchope. The Irish vote, which Mr.
Gladstone lost in 1885, is now solidly Lib
eral. The 14 polling places in the district
are widely scattered. The exact result of
the contest will not be known until to
morrow, as the conning of the votes does
not begin until 10 o'clock to-morrow morn
ing. The ballots are all counted in Edin
burgh. The personal character of a candidate en
ters more largely into the canvass in the
Forest of Dean division, Gloucestershire,
than in any other place in England. The
Liberal candidate in this division is Hon.
Charles Dilke, who some years ago was
compelled to withdraw from pnblic life,
owing to the revelations in the Crawford
divorce case, in which Sir Charles was the
co-respondent.
This year he evinced a desire to stand
again for the House of Commons, and, ac
cordingly, he is a candidate in the Forest
of Dean division. His opponents con
voked a meeting to-day, at which it was ex
pected Mr. Stead, the former editor of the
Fall Mall Gazette, who his been particularly
active in attacking A immoralities of Eng
land, would appear and attack Sir Charles.
Many of the friends of Sir Charles attended
the meeting, bat Mr. Stead did not appear.
Social Purists Condemned as Unchristian.
Instead of an attack being made upon Sir
Charl", Itev. I. George made a motion,
c0DJemnin2 the unchristianlike conduct of
the social purity party in assailing Sir
Charles, and the motion was adopted amid
hearty cheers from supporters of Sir
Charles.
yesterday at a Liberal meeting, a resolu
tion was adopted, declaring that electors of
the district desired only a man of high
moral character to represent them in Parlia
ment. Serious rioting has occurred at Kilrush,
County Clare, Ireland. A band of Par
nellites made an attack upon Simon's Tem
perance Hotel and completelr wrecked it.
Several houses, including that of a Jady
who is not identified with either of the sec
tions of the Irish party, were also wrecked.
B. Maguire. the Paraellite candidate Jn the
"West division of County Clare, had a nar
row escape from a shower of empty bottles
which were thrown at him while he was en
tering a hotel.
At Kilrnsh yesterday there was a riot be
tween Parnellites. and antl-Parnellifes.
Sticks and stones were freely used, and
many were badly beaten on both sides.
rrospce-a for a Reunion.
In connection with the suggestions rela
tive to a reunion of tho Irish party, John
Dillon, speaking at Gort, in Galwny, said
the McCarthyltcs are winning all along the
line, and he'trusts their old friends will
join the majority in the battle for the lib
erty of their country. John Bedraond, at
Mayo, said he U anxious to stop the auarrel
and restore peace, but is unable to attain
this and, as Mr. Dillon would not stand on
tbe same platform as the independents,
even on the qnestion of political amnesty.
These and other similar speeches show
there is some chance of tbe Irish-American
Peace Committee smoothing matters over,
although the antl-Parnellltas declare they
don't expect any amicable result from the
negotiations. Several of them say it is
oniv a waste or time to discuss tbe matter.

DEATH OF A WAIF.
Found Suffering With Typhoid Fever In S
Stable Taken In Charge by the Homeo
pathic Hospital, He Dies Without Ulv
Ing a Dint or His Past History.
There died yesterday morning at the
Homeopathic Hospital an 18-year-old boy
named William Scott, whose death was
particularly sad from the fact that little is
known of him. On Wednesday of last week
Mrs. John Gamble, whose husband keeps a
saloon on the corner of South Twelfth and
Bingham streets, was notified by one of her
children that a boy was lying in the hay
loft of their stable who required immediate
attention or he would die. This was the
first intimation that Mrs. Gamble had of
anyone being in the stable, and she hastened
to the boy's aid
Stretched on a bundle of straw in the loft
Mrs. Gamble found the boy, who was al
most burning up with fever. Mrs. Gamble
applied all the measures she had at her
command, and after some trouble succeeded,
with the aid of Examiner Hoffman, of the
Department of Charities, in getting the boy
quarters in the Homeopathic Hospital,
where he lingered until yesterday morning
when he died from typhoid fever.
The only thing known of the boy is that
his name was William Foster and that he
came from Cincinnati, O. His parents
were dead. Soma time ago the boy, who
appeared to be pretty well run down, ap
plied to Mr. McCoombs, a Carson street
tinner, lor employment and made such a
Eiteous appeal that Mr. McCoombs took
im in and cave him work. He proved to
be not only a good boy but also very intel
ligent, and he was such a willing worker"
that Mr. McCoombs was prepossessed in his
favor. On Thursday of last week the boy
complained of feeling sick and left Mr.
McCoombs' store. The next thing heard of
him was his discovery in the hay loft of Mr.
Gamble's stable. The body of the unfortu
nate boy was buried yesterday at the
county's expense.
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Many Bills for Improvements In Allegheny
Dliposrd Of.
The Allegheny Finance Committee met
last night and transacted considerable rou
tine business. The Controller's report for
the month of June showed the receipts to
be 5183,443 31; the expenditures, $165,
894 93; leaving a balance in the appropria
tion of 445,829 94. The sum of 75 was re
funded to the Mayor's Clerk for the rent of
Carnegie Hall. The clerk gave his check
for the amount in order to secure the hall
for a benefit for the Titusville and Oil City
sufferers. The petition of tbe Little Sis
ters of the Poor to be exempted
from (payment of the assessment
for the Church avenue sewer was referred
to the" City Solicitor. The resolution in

class was referred to a sub-committee con
sisting or Messrs. Dahlinger, Henderson,
Mercer, Gerivig and Simon.
The bill of Prothouotary John Bradley
for $593 for election expenses was referred
to Councils for approval.
In the matter of the ordinance submitted

ordinance for the presentation to Councils.
The Committee on Parks and Water met
and approved pay rolls and bills.
Delegates to the Window Glassworkera1
Assoelation of America formally opened L
their sixth annual convention yesterday
morning in the new Turner Hall, on Thir
teenth street, Southside. The meeting was
called to order at 10 o'clock. President
John Eberhardt ocoupied the chair, and In
a brief, ringing address welcomed the 168
representatives present. The delegates
come from 18 States in the Union, and the
representation at the convention is based on
one delegate for every ten pots.
The first business upon the programme
was roll-call and all other matters trans
acted at the morning session was simply of
an informal nature. President Eberhardt
reau me nnanciai report showing the ex
cellent standing of the organization. It
was an exhaustive paper consuming one
hoar of the brief session. Just before the
noon adjournment Committees on Organi
sation and Credentials were appointed by
the Chair. At 2 o'clock the delegates re
assembled in the hall. The afternoon
session was devoted to appointing various
eommittees and preparing resolutions.
The regular hours for the sessions hereafter
will be from 9 until 12 in the morning and
from 2 until 5 in the afternoon.
The Programme for the Convention.
As was prearranged, President Eberhardt
will preside during the entire session, and
William Springer will act as Secretary.
The delegates appointed by the Chair to
act as Vice Presidents were Thomas E.
TXnkg, of Pittsburg; Joseph Biggins, of
Bridgeton, N. J.; H. Landgraff, of Cleve
land, and W. H. Campbell, of Fostoria, O.
Hugh Swearer, of "Pittsburg, and Frank
ocott, oi Jeannette, 'were appointed as

ing, J. A Genning; Duties of Officers,

Hammett. At 6:30 o'clock a motion to ad
journ was carried, i;
President Eberhardt was seen immedi
ately after the close of the meeting. In re
ply to several questions concerning the
future action of the convention, he an
swered: "I have nothing whatever of any impor
tance to make pnblio in connection with our
meeting, and even if I bad our ironclad
rules are of such a nature that I would be
prevented from saying anything as an indi
vidual. A Press Committee has been prac
tically appointed, and its members will be
authorized to give out such statements rela
tive to the business of the convention as
they may deem proper. The convention
will last eight or ten days."
Every Manufactory Represented.
When pressed further for some statement
regarding the delegates and the present
convention, President Eberhardt said:
"There is one thine I'would like to nnrf
that is this: Never, jn;the history of the
Glass Workera Association have we had a
more favorable convention than" this. There
Is an exceedingly large number of repre
sentatives here, and as they have all been
instructed by their lodges our work will be
greatly facilitated. Anotherthing, every fac
tory In America engaged in thefnanufacure
of window glass is represented. In other
words there is no factory in the country not
a member of the Union. On this account
we claim one of the most complete labor
organizations of the world."
The Turner Hall has been gaily decorated.
uu us piauorm especially presents an in
viting appearance. There are tropical
plants, ferns, palms and other foliage in
E refusion and it is plain that every effort
as been made to make the surroundings
comfortable for the many visiting delegates.
FIXING LABOR'S PRICE.
Pittsburg Manufacturers Have a Confer
ence With the Wage Committer
Several Important Departments In the
.Amalgamated Association's New Ecale
of Prices Discussed.
The conference between the Pittsburg
manufacturers and the Wage Committee of
the Amalgamated Association was resumed
yesterday afternoon. The session lasted
three hours, but nothing of apositive nature
was accomplished. At 6:30 o'clock the
delegates adjourned to meet again this after
noon. During the conference on -Monday
the entire time was devoted to the discus
sion of the basis of the scale, but no con
clusion was reached and the point remains
practically unsettled.
It v a? "thought very probable that tbe
bash would again be considered at yester
day's "meeting, but after the committeemen
had been called to order it was arranged
that the afternoon would be devoted to the
discussion of tbe scale proper. The first
point taken up was the muck or puddle
mill prices. After debating a short time
upon this particular branch of the new
scale, the committee took up scrapplntr and
busheiing, knobbling and heating slabs and4!
shingling. This constituted the day's
wort To-day the conference will first act
upon the bar mills, and if they have time
the guide, ten-inch, hoop and cotton tie
mills will be taken up.
One of the members of the WageCommit
tee,after the meeting.said: "The conference
will, from now on, devote the whole time
to the consideration of the scale proper.
The memoranda of argument has been
virtually adopted. One foot note is yet to
be adjusted. This will not be touched upon
for a couple of days, but there will be no
trouble about settling it when it is ulti
mately taken up. The price for boiling Is
also hanging in the balance. From present
indications, however, the manufacturers
will make a concession in this particular
case. It is almost certain that an entire
settlement of the new scale will be effected
before long."

The Mayor of Corning, N. T., Issues a
Strange and Unwelcome E1lct.
Delegates to the sixteenth annual conven
tion of the American Flint Glassworkers,
which began in Cornin, N. Y., Monday, are
much exercised over an edict issued by the
Mayor of that town. At the close of the
opening session the 350 delegates, together
with 2,000 local glass blowers, took part in
a parade. Memorial services were also held
in St. Mary's Cemetery in honor of the 14
glass workers who were killed in a railroad
wreck at Bevenna, O., over a year ago.
The Mayor has notified the glass mtn
that he will not permit any further demon
stration of a public nature. This is owing
to the divided feeling which exists on ac
count of a lockout in Corning a couple of
years ago. The Mayor's sympathies are
said to be with the employers and It is said
he took this measure to snow his exaot po
sition in the matter. The union men do
not take kindly to the edict and many say
that it will not be obeyed.
JABBING AT GRIPJIEN.
Orangemen, Rockets and Politic.
A party of enthusiastic Orangemen in
half a dozen carriages created a sensation
about 11 o'clock last night as thev drove
along Smithfield street, Fifth avenue and
other crowded thoroughfares, discharging
rockets, Boman candles and fire crackers
and shouting at the top of their voices for
Cleveland. The cheers for Cleveland were
re-echoed with a will from the sidewalks,
and, as the party passed down Fifth avenue
the affair took on the dignity of a Demo
cratic demonstration.
7O0B KOBE 8IGNAI0BE3,
Firms That Have Signed the Iron Scale for
the Ensuing Tar. ,
Including the list of iron and steel sheet
manufacturers. -71 firms had signed the scale
up to a late hour last night. Four new firms
were added yesterday. They were the Find
lay Boiling Mill Company, the Anchor Iron
and Steel Company, the Western Natural
Gas Iron Company and the White Biver
Iron and Steel Company. Tbe first named
concern is located in Findlay, O. The
plant was built in 1887 and first put into
operation August. of the nm ...
The company has twa heating furnaces and
one 10-inoh train of rolls. . The product is
merchant bar and chain iron, with an an
nual capacity of 10,000 net tons of iron and
250 tons of coll and cable chain. Nearly
200 men are employed. . .
The Anchor Iron and Steel Company has
offices in Cincinnati and Its works are sit
uated in Newpon, Ky. The plant, which
is an old one, was rebuilt and fitted with
new maehinery in 1874. The firm has five
single puddling furnaces, four heating
furnaces, two scrap furnaces and four train
of rolls. The product is bar, sheet and
?Iate iron with a capacity of 6,000 net tons,
he mills are operated in connection with
the American Bolt and Nut Works which
are also owned by the company. They
give employment to several hundred men.
The Western Natural Gas Iron Com-
Eany is located in Marion, Ind. It has four
eating furnaces and two trains of rolls.
The plant was built in 1890-1 with machin
ery from the abandoned Prospect mill at
Cleveland, O. The annual' capacity is
11,000 net tons. It employs 1C0 men. The
White Biver Company's works are sit
uated in Muncie, Ind. The mill is new
and the maehinery and capacitv has not
been rated yet. It employs about'100 men.
Men on Parade Test Their Swords Angered
at the Breaking of Their Column Con
ductors Blame a Folios Officer for Be
fusing to Arrest the Assailants.
Twogripmen on the Citizen's Traction
line were cut by Orangemen yesterday, who
became angered at them for crossing between
their line. John Morrisy, gripman on car
113, of the Butler street branch, while cross
ing Sixth street on Liberty avenue about 10
o'clock yesterday morning broke through
the ranks ot the Orangemen. Thev became
angered at this and a number ran after the
car. When it stopped on the other side of
tbe street they Jumped aboard, and tried to
get into the gripman's cab. Failing in this,
one ran around in front, and jumping up on
the guard, thrust his sword into the win
dow. The blade penetrated Morrlsy's
shoulder, passing upward, coming out at
the neck and narrowly missing the jugular
vein.
The man hastily withdrew his sword and
started to run, but Conductor Smith jumped
off the car and caught him, and called on the
policeman at the corner to arrest him. This
the officer refused to do, evidently fearing
the crowd, who made threatening demon
strations, and the man, whose name could
not be learned, 'escaped. Morrisy took his
car through and then left and went to Dr.
Clark's office and had tbe wound dressed. It
was aggravated by not being attended to at
once, and may result seriously. Morrisy
resides on Matilda street.
James Hani, gripman on car 202 of the
Penn avenue line, was cut at the same
place, under the same circumstances shortly
after. Hapz was not badly hurt however.
The sword severed the lower button from
his vest, cut through his pants, and inflicted
a flesh wound in the leg below the knee.
He was not obliged to quit work. As in
the other instance, it was stated by the ear
conductor, the policeman refused to arrest
the one who did the cutting.
Under a blazing sun yesterday morning
Allegheny county's Orangemen traversed
Pittsburg's streets in honor of the anni
versary of the Battle of tbe Boyne.
This annual occasion so well loved by
these sons of Erin was commemorated by a
parade, followed by a picnic at Hulton sta
tion on the Allegheny Valley Railroad.
From every corner of the county, save from
Homestead, the gallant Orangemen came.
Up there the organization has a lodge of 72
members.
The sympathies of those who had to slay
at home were with the commemorators of
the Battle of the Boyne. Likewise were
the feelings of those that gathered on Hul
ton's green sward yesterday toward the
workmen of Homestead. Indeed the ma
jority of the feeling was expressed toward
the men up the Monongahela.
In Sympathy With the Homestead Men.
In the groups of friends, which com
pletely dotted the pretty picnic grounds,
the sole topic of conversation was of the
battle which is now being fought between
capital and labor. William, Prince of
Orange's victory was a minor event in the
minds of the celebrators yesterday, and
even when the speakers arose, they, too,
had but one topic the welfare ot the
Homestead workmen.
James Johnson, of Pittsburg, William
Graham, of Allegheny, and R. A Patter
son, of Pittsburg, were the speakers of the
day. Their one hope was that the work
men of the Carnegie Steel Company,
Limited, would win their cause. Each
speaker commented In a glowing manner
on the victories so far won at Homestead.
One gentleman said that if their brothers '
needed the assistance of the Orangemen, the
organization stood ready to lend aid in
whatever lawful way it would be called for.
He hoped, however, that matters would not
take such a serious turn. Comment was
then made on the Governor's action in send
ing troops. The Pinkerton men were given
a very liberal turning down-
How the Day Was Spent.
The speeches were the only entertainments
arranged tor, and after they" were over the
2,900 people present enjoyed themselves in
many different ways. The best of order
prevailed during the day. Lovers by the
hundred wandered up and down along the
banks of the Allegheny river, or sought
secluded woodland spots to tell each other
love's story. Others hired skiffs and spent
the afternoon rowing over the waters of
Ohio's feeder. The older members of the
party were content to sit or walk under the
protecting shade ot the forest trees, meeting
old friends and making new ones. What
ever their conversation, was in the begin
ning, before it closed the topic had been
drifted to the situation at Homestead.
Sunset brought to a close their pleasant,
yet to a certain extent sad celebration of so
memorable event as the battle of the Boyne.
Tbe four sections of the Allegheny Valley
train were soon boarded, and snortlp after 8
o'clock the picnickers were landed at
Union station.
The Splendors of tbe Parade.
No civic parade in Pittsburg was watched
with more interest or presented a more
beautiful sight than did that of the Orange
men as they paraded yesterday morning.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the members com
menced to pour into New Granf street, the
place appointed for the forming of the
parade. The short and narrow confines of
this thoroughfare were - soon found
to be too small and Seventh avenue had to
be. appropriated. Chief Marshal W. J.
Kyle found it no small task to form his
men, bnt by 10 o'clock he had them all iu
line. His aides were: Adjutant General,
John Gardner; Chief of Staff, Hugh
Wilson; Aides, Hugh Jackson, George
Carlisle, John Mitchell, R. J. Thompson,
Samuel Edgar, Robert Dodds, Samuel
Herron, R. R. Gaw,-Robert McClarin,
William Powell, George Sloan, James
Sands, John Woods, John Cousins, Henry
Booth, R. J. Patton, Robert Gamble, John
McCalla and Timothy French. The staff
was mounted.

of Pilot, Vermilion county, III. He says:
"Two years ago two of my family, a young
man and a girl, had very severe and danger
ous attacks of bloody flux. The doctor here
was unable, after a week's time, to check or
relieve either case. I threw the doctor
overboard and began using Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrbcea Remedy. Im
provement was seen very soon and my chil
dren arose in a lew aavs from what I feared
would be their deatii-bed. It is a grand,

A Snag In tbe Proceedings to Get the
Wltherow Steel Plant in Shape.
The meeting of the James P. Witherow
creditors of Pittsburg at New Castle yester
day for the purpose of perfecting the ar
rangements for the organization of the
stock company to operate the ftoel plant,
developed an obstacle that was altogether
unexpected. The report of the secretary
showed that only ?9,200 of the stock re
mained unsubscribed, and during the five
months that Mr. Alexander Thomas has
been serving as assignee he had collected
15,500.
According to a recent decision of the
court.the stock company is empowered to
proceea to periect me organization and
operate the plant, and they- were abont to
carry out this plan when Mr. Thomas stated
that his salary as assignee would be 525,000,
and that upon payment of this sum he
would step out and turn the plant over to
the reorganized company.
The meeting was at once adjourned, the
creditors taking the view that Mr. Thomas
demanded such an enormous salary in the
effort to block the proceedings of the J. P.
Witherow Stock Company.

course of erection at Diamond and Smith

They stated that Daily was not employed

display the Orangemen had ever made. Tbe
uniforms never shone so brilliantly as yes

made by the w,omen. They turned out in daz

everywhere the colors of America were
floating, and they were the most prominent

The Woodland Oil Company Gets a Good
Well Southwest of McDonald The
Grernlee & Font McLean Well Dry In
the Gordon Butler County (Veils.
There was quite a surprise sprung where
least expected, in the southwest yesterday,
wbep the Woodland Oil Company drilled
its No. 2 Crawford into the fifth sand, and
it started off at the rate of 50 barrels an
hour. Subsequently it declined to 35 barrels
an hour, but it is generally believed that it
can be made to increase its production when
drilled deeper. The most that had been
looked for at this well, in addition to the oil
from tho fourth formation , was a slight in
crease from the fifth. It Is altogether prob
able that this unexpected find will stimu
late operations in that quarter of the field.
The additional production of this well and
added to It the increase of several others al
ready in the list swelled the total produc
tion or the field to 2LO0O barrels.
Greenlee & Fnrst drilled their No. 1 on the
McLean lot at Noblestown through the Gor
don yesterday, but found no oil. They will
drill it to the fifth.
In the northeast end of the McCurdy field
and south of Fleming Park the Philadelphia
Gas Company drilled its No. 2, on the Sprer
larin, into the sand and will have a producer
good for 60 or 75 barrels a (lav.
Tho showing at this well further confirms
the belief that a fifth sand pool of some
magnitude will bo opened up in that quar
ter. This company and the Forest Oil Com
pany arc drilling several moro wells in that
locality that will be Important tests.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 1 Wallace,
an Important test well to the east of the
Meise pool, will get the Gordon to-day or
to-morrow. This wells located farthest to
tho east In the Meise pool, and will, in a
measure, define the width of the pool.
Spang & Chalfant have started tosnudnt
their No. 1, on the Bradford farm, southeast
Of the Wildwood field.
The well is drilled with a view to finding
gas.
Butler County Op-ratloni.
T. W. Phillips was agreeably surprised to
day by striking a 53 barrel an hour well on
the Gottleib Wolf farm, Herman district,
where only a 20 barrel well at best was ex
pected. The sand was tapped at 5 o'clock
this morning, the bit only penetrating about
six inches, when the well began flowing
strongly, the oil going on the ground
until 9 a. it. A gauge of the out
put from 12 o'clpck until 3 p.
M. showed 36 inches. The well is nearly
surrounded bv small wells and has no partic
ular importance outside its surprising large
ness. It is not likely it will hold np at these
figures any length of time, although it has
shown no signs of Weakening this evening.
The rest of the Butler fields are compar
atively quiet
At Mars tbe Coonskin Oil Company's No. 5
Douthett heirs farm is plugged and has a
string of tools in It. No. 4 was plugged and
the rig moved and No. 5 drilled to the sand.
It is a hopeless case.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 3 Whltmlre
has a string of tools stuck with little or no
prospects or getting them out
Johnson & Bark are through the sand on
No. 1 Marshall and will shoot to-day. The.
sand is not very good.

A LADY ADVISES LADIES.
A Few Secrets From Ber Own Experience
Which Can Be Frjfltably Adopted by
Others.
1 know a charming lady who knows more
beautiful and attractive women than any
other la dy in this city. In conversation re
cently she said: "I often feel very sorry
when I see at many beautiful women so deli
cate, and suffering so much, and! have often
asked myself what the reason is? I think
ladles do not exercise the proper care. Tbey
do not eat nourishing food, tney are careless
of their feet, their necks, their chests. In
this way they open the door for diseases and
those thousands of troubles which so often
afflict womankind, but worse than all they
allow their life and strength to run down to
a low ebb. How many women we see con
stantlv in this condition. They need help
they need something to depend upon, some
thing that will assist them, some friend In
need. I know this, largely, irom my own ex
perience, for I was once in tbe same condi
tion myself. I thought the matterovercare.
fully, iind decided what I would do. I knew
1 needed a gentle, constant stimnlant, some
thing that would assist my vital forces, keep
my blood throbbing and act as a tonic. I
decided to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
and Its effect has been simply wonderfnl. I
do not know what pains, sickness or weak
ness are and I am satisfied ladles generally
could be in the same happy condition by
proper nse of the same means."
This lady's remarks are entitled to tbe
greatest consideration, for tbey are an Indi
cation of what hundreds of ladles have
found to be a necessity. It should be borne
in mind, howover, that it is only pure
whiskey which should ever be used, And
that Duffy's Pure Malt is the only one which
receives the endorsement of scientists and
the recommendations of physicians. Do not
allow any druggist or grocer to induce ynn
to take any other. who
