Henry Byrom, of Tltusville. The striking
of this well has stimulated operations t

nooui to unit two new wells, the rig for one
being already up. The land Interest of the

eaae the parties named above have bought
so-called patent right said to cover the
use or caalog In oil wells. Should they
succeed In carrying out their scheme the re
cult would be that every producer at peasant
using easing, or who may have used It n 0
wells in tlmss past, will be forced to pays
royalty, which would be en Injustice to
all, mora especially to small producers, who
oan ill afford to pay out mosey for the use of
outing. Meetings are called at Oil City, on
Itiday, July IJlft, at ID a.m., acd at
Parker's Landing, at 1 p. ra. the following
day Siturday, July 20th, to take measures
for defense tgainst the parties holding the
casing patent, sod to devise ' moara to pro

one of vital importance to them and the

Among tbs rest of tbo purchases made by
the notorious Geo. W, Rockwell, with the
money advanced by Mr. J as. S. McCrayi
lor carrying on the coal mining business'
was the Ellsworth House at Erie. Since
the partnership has been dissolved Rock
well has the cheek to come forward and ear
deavored to gain possession of that hotel.
It Is almost need .94 to add that Mr. JIc
Craywason hand and again foiled Mr.
Rookwell's endeavor to secure bis ill-gotten
gains. The Erie Dispatoh refers to the
matter as follows. The Dispatch is wrong
inooe respect. It was mainly through the
efforts of Mr. McCray that Rockwell was
defeated:
The motion by attorneys of G. W. Rock
well, for the dissolving of the preliminary
Injunction granted against him, restraining
him from Interference with Col. F. H. Ells
worth in the conduct of the Ellsworth
House, wae yesterday decided adversely to
the applicant, leaving Col. Ellsworth in
peiceable possession, but at tbo ssme time,
patting him swder such reltraint as will se
cure to the creditors their debts. The In .
junction against Rockwell Is to stand until
August 8 lb. Col. Ellsworth is in the mean
time to pay rent accrued and to give secur
ity for that to come.
There is a curious mix in the creditor-
ship, by which, as we are Informed, it was
a very ticklish matter lor the Colonel to
know to whom be should make payment
without being liable to repeat it. A part
nersblpxlsted between McCray and Rock
well, and the rental or the Ellsworth House
property was amongst the assets of the firm.
Mr. McCray did not wish to (oroe the Col
onel to payment, but Mr. Rockwell did an
forced bimsell into possession on Saturday
last, but was ousted by the preliminary in
junction on Monday. The partnership
busluess ol McCray and TRockwell has not
been one of unbounded mntual satisfaction
but we don't propose to go Into the merit
here. Col. Ellsworth declares that the
taking possession by Rockwell was an at
tempt to get control of property, ostensibly
to secure a debt of less than one-third the
value of that seized, aod he bis Instituted a
suit against Rockwell for damages. McCrsy
appears to bu keeping pretty well out of tba
Jght, but what little interference be makes
Is in behalf of Col. Ellsworth as against his
own partner. In the meantime the Colonel
s seeping a lip ton good hotel, and the
sympathies of Us numorous Datrona am on
.his side.
