Bio "Strics" on tub Dalzcll Farsi.
The Patterson 6 Bickey well, Dalzell
farm, w as completed Wednesday, tubed and
cased yesterday and commenced throwing
oil ut t'ia rate of 150 barrels per day. From
4 o'clock yesterday, when pumping be
gan, up to noon to-day (20 hour?) tbe well
had yielded by actual measurement 112 bar
rtle. At noon tt was gauged and found o
be yielding at tbe rate of 80 barrels per
Cj. It will probably fall off somewhat
jet, but may be safely estimated as a 40 or
60 barrel well. The well was put down
through tlWiij casing to a depth of C25
feet. It I'eVated near tbe Plumer road,
Mid abccey fyy rod above the Devlin
well. Try striking of this well Is causing
great excitement among tbe oil operators
iu this vicinity, and will cause renewed ac-
tiviajf in developing en that and atljoinlnir

A private dispatch to tills paper from

wrist cutting one of tbe large arteries of tbe
arm In a very t, ere mannor. The blood
flowed from tbe wound so freely tbat tbe Dr
bad fainted away before a physician arriv
ed. He is now somewhat better although
quite weak from the loss of blood, and will
oen be able to attend to his busiubss again
It was quit a narrow escape from bleeding
t death M the wound was a very severe
one.

Terriblo Boiler Explosion !
ONE MAX KILLED I
Tbe boiler In use at Pratber Bros. &
notch's saw mill, on Pithole Creek, about a
mile and a half blow Pithole City, explod
ed with terriflo force, at about eight o'clock
yesterday morning, entirely demolishing
the englna bouse, partially tearing down
the tiiil, and Instantly killing Mr. Abra
ham Clufler, the engineer in charze. Tbe
boiler was a 35-borse power one, and by
tbe force of tbe explosion was tbruwa C3l
feet from Its orlgioal bed. On its con no
tbe boiler went through a ten inch oak sill,
tbe slab pile, several good sized trees, and
across tbe creek striking a large rock at an
elevation of over 15 feet above it bed, and
about 431 feet distant, and tbence bounded
sideways and buried itself almost out of
sight in tbe ground about 200 feet beyond
wbere it first struck. There were six men
at work In tbe mill ut tbe time, and it is al
most a miracle that no more were killed or
scalded. A it was there were several nar
row escapes. Mr. Phillip Hatch, a mem
ber of tbe firm, was struck on tbe bead witb
a brick and quite severely injured, remain
ing insensible for some time. By tbe force
ot tbe explosion tbe upright saw was thrown
out of place and struck the sa wyer on tbe
calf of bis leg cutting it nearly off. Tbe
explosion was the result of utter careless
ness on tbe part of tbe engineer, who was
carrying too much steam at tbe lime.
When found tbe steam gauge Indicated 120
pounds, but as tbe gauge was old and rus
ty, the probability is tbat there was over
200 pounds of steam on. Mr. Clali'er was a
married man, resided at Oleopolis, acd
leaves a wife and tbrce children. Below
will be found tbe result of tbe coroner's in
quest, hold by Justice, Keenan of Pithole:

Stuaxoe Waspkrisos op a Bark.
Could tbe bark "Maria J. Smith" tell tbe
romance ol ber strange wanderings, says
the New York Times, tbey would prove as
marvelous, perhaps, as many of the "Flying
Dutchman" stories. Abandoned 00 the
Pacific coast, she was found by Indians safe
aad sound, near Bella Bella, almost five
hundred miles from tbe place where she was
deserted. It seems in credible tbat this
little ship could make this long voyage
alone, "threading ber way," dslhe Victoria
Colonist says, "without aid of helmsman or
compass, through intricate channels and
dangerous tiderips, to ber present harbor or
reiige;" and we may approve tbe comment
tbat "Marryatt'a phantom ship Is not to be
thought of at tbe same moment witb tbe
Maria J. Smith."' Not tbe least singular
thing connected with this vessel Is that
Ibis is tbe second time tbat she has been
abandoned,and tbe second sbe has saved ber
self. Sailors are superstitious; and there are
n'ready current regarding tbe bark tbat sbe
will not sink, and tbat it Is prop heeled sbe
will never no to Davy Jones' locker.
