OIL LAND IN LITIGATION. A Law Suit That Intoltes SlstersvIIle Prop erty Valued at S300,O00-Ludwlg & Mooney Are tho Defendants Dry Holes in Butler County, and WoUs Dne at Mc Donald To-Day. An important law suit involving the title to oil property valued at 5500,000, located in the Sistersville field, is engaging the at tention of courts in two States, and a num ber of attorneys and operators. In 1S90 Lcroy M. Ludwig and "William "Werter took up 2,000 acres of leases in tho now well-known Sistersville field, mid com menced to drill the pioneer well in the field which has since found a place in tho history of oildom as the "polecat well." Alter drilling had commenced Werter was killed, leaving five children, four of whom wero minors. Lud wir was appointed administrator of the Werter estate in Putnam county, O., and the well was drilled down to the oil bearing sand, where it pioduced some oil and largo quantities of salt water. While tho well was in this condition, and after other wells in iho vicinity had com menced to produce oil in paying quantities, Ludwig, as ailminlstiator, on December 17, 1S9I, told the interest of the Werter estate to Daniel M, Bailey, an attorney of Ottawa, O. On December 18, the next day, Bailey con Tcyed the interest back to L'idwig as an in dividual, and on December, 20, 1891, Ludwig sold a one-quarter interest in tho well and lease to Robert E. Mooney, and Ludwig & Mooney sold about one-halt of tho leases to others. The plaintiffs in the case allege that tho sale Irom Ludwig, as administra tor, to Bailey and the translor trom Bailey back to Ludwig woie fraudulent, anil that tho Probate Court of Onto could not direct a sale which would pass title to lenses situated in West Virginia. Joshua Russell, tho West Virginia admin Istrator and guardian of the children of Werter, has brought suit, asking that one half of tho proceeds of the sale be paid to him. On August 30, 1892, an injunction was i-sued by Judge Jacobs, of Tyler county, W. Va., restraining the defendants fiom dis posing of the oil or encumbering the prop erty. The case was removed to tho United Mates Circuit Court by the defendants, and last Thursday Judge Jack son, of the Circuit Court, on motion of the plaintiffs, appointed C IL Shattuck, cashier ot the First. National Bank or Parkersburg, W. Va., receiver or all tho property, ponding litigation. This Includes 100,003 barrels or oil in the Eureka Pipe L,ine, whlcu has accumulated sinco the injunction was granted. John B. Chapman, of Plttsbnrg, is one of the attor neys for the plaintiffs, and John M. Bailey, or Ottana, 0., and Judge McClure, or Par kersburg, represent the defendants, Ludwig & Mooney.

Only Stock Speculation Suffers From Political Activity. GENERAL TRADE BARELY CHECKED And Continues to Be Enormous in Volume Almost LYeryvTliere. PIITSBUEG NINTH IN BANK BUSINESS New York, Nov. 4. E. G. Dun & Co., in tneir weekly review of trade, say: Even in the last week before a Presidental elec tion business has coutinued very active. Indeed, the volume is far beyond any prec edent for a similar period. Yet the com ing election has plainly diminished business in two ways: Multitudes have been di verted from trade to political activity, and many more have chosen to postpone trans actions until the political uncertainty has been removed. The fact that even under such circumstances trade has been enor mous shows how powerful is the impetus toward activity and expansion. The people arc clearly buying more goods' than ever before, and in some branches manufacturers are realizing a flight advance in prices. Money is closer at some Western points, but nowhere is stringency seen, and there is no apprehension as to the immediate future. Wheat Touches Rock Bottom. Wheat has touched the lowest point ever known in this market 73J4 cents receipts at Western porta being still enormous, though this,week averaginga little less than l,500,C0O bushels dally, txports havo much lncioasod, and a recovery in prico to 71 cents has resulted, but the decline for the week is still li cents. Corn has fallen 1 cent, with moderate mnvoment, but o.its are a cent highei. Sales of corn have amountod to moro Minn 1,000,000 bales, and the prito has advanced an eighth for Southern ac count, appearing to indicate a greater de crease in vield, and the receipts aie again comparatively small.

Special Judge Ferguson, of the Criminal District Court, who began a very enerttic cam paign against gambling, and who in Sep tember sucoeeded in closing all the gam bling houses and keeping them closed for a longer time than ever before, to-day an nounced to the grand jury his determination to keep it up. He gave the location ot a gambling saloon now in operation in Cus tom House street, and summoned the Chief of Police and captain of the precinct to know why it was not closed, and he an nounced that two members of the grand jury were themselves cognizant of the exist ence and location ot gambling saloons. Quoting the section of the revised statutes which requires a member to make known any infraction of the law coming to his knowledge, he suggested to the grand jury the advisability "of inforcing the -law against these delinquent members. The gamblers seem very despondent, and are inclined to believe that tne campaign -against them, the first thoroughly effective I e ver.maae, win do too much lor them. NOVEMBER 5, 3892.
