broke out between 4 and S o'elocK tbla mor-t
niog in the American Hotel, which reaulted
In a dliaatroua conflagration.
The following buildings were destroyed:
Mrs. Sands' large new brick block, in
which was tho Oil Exchange office, P. A.
Tel. offloe, and twe restaurants, besides of
fices, As., in the second and third stories.

Allegheny Trust Co's bank.
The large new hotel owned by Byron
Taylor, was injured considerably by fire and

The books and papers of the Oil Ex

Several other bni. dings were burned.

The perlorinaoce given by the New Or

last evening, was favorably received by the
large audience In attendance. Miss Mande
Stanley is a fine singer and it possessed of a
very tweet voice. Her singing was fre
quently encored. Mr. Walter Wenlwor'.h
is fairly entitled to the cognomen of the In-
dia rubber man; as a contortionist be has
few equals. Mr. Hank Goodman, Miss
Nellie Gorton, John Keegan, West and oth
ers came in far liberal share of applause.
Hank Goodman's old man's song and Maudt

lFurooiKO Old Wklls A measure bas
been introdtced in the Looal Legislature by
Mr. Pardee, which, , if it passes into law
will have some effect on the oil producing
business. I; is well known that when bor
ing far oil, large veins ol Jsalt water are fre
quently met with. Th la has been found to
be one of the main difficulties attending the
enterprise, for tbt water sometimes pre
sents itsolf in such volume as to drive away
the oil, or' to oconpy tb pnmps to such an
extent tbat oil it not obtained In paying
quantities. Again, when wells are aband
oned, the effect i s to allow the water to
accumulate which, findiog its way into oil
veins, "drowns out" the adjaceut wells
The result is that oil territory Is often des
troyed lor the want 'el a little trouble and
expeuse, by which the water could bet but
off. Hitherto there bat not been any law to
meet this case. Tbt object of Mr. Ptrdto's
bill it to meet tbit want, to that when any
person bas reason to suppose tbtt bit wells
orbit property are. being Injured by water
from an abandoned well, application may
be made for power to enter upon the prem
ises and to that it off. It it proposed to
pltee this matter in the bands of the mun-
itipal council, who on application are to
appoint an inspector upon whose report the
oeotssary power may issue. Fetrolia, Ont.
