"Much Ado Aboat Nothing."
It seems that the novice who runs the
"SI. Petersbugb Progress" does not like the
sound advise given blm by the Ricord.
"Move's tbe pity," for il be ever succeeds in
the newspsporlal Held be will have to beed
It.
Tbe fact Is, less sensitiveness snd tearful
ness and mora bopefuloess and cheerfulness,
wlff give bis little sheets more spicy flavor,
and oloser attention Improve its typography.
Printing newspaper Is a very different
business from gauging tanks, and while tbe
knowledge of arithmetic Implied la the lat
ter must be very useful In making sucb su
perior reports as be glvos us, yet It may
bonestly bo doubted whether a fair under
standing of English grammar, and tbe
usages and conventionalities of newspaper
Intercourse, coupled with good manners snd
good sense are not better qualifications for
so editor than to depend on a gaugers .man
ual and an itob for soribbltog.

As tbe osmpaign advances political dis
cussions grow bolter. Take our advice,
gentlemen, and keep perfectly cool. Quar
reling about your favorite candidates wll1
not ioflnenee the election one way or tbe
other, aod only creates bard feelings. ,
For our part we hope the beat man may
win, If II will only raise tbe crfce of crude
petroleum and lighten up tbe money mark
fit, which Is very tight at present. Who Is
1o be tbe next President Is not of half so
tnaeb importance as an advanoe In tbe prise
of crude oil would be at present.

this alterooon, on the grounds of tbe former
dob, 1b largely attended aod passing off qui
etly. . Tbe Senecas are neatly and tastefully
dressed in blue pants, white shirts, white
caps and red stockings. Tbe superior play
ing of the Seneoas plainly indicate them to
be tbe banner club of tbe oil region and of
Western Pennsylvania. E-peclally fine is
tbe playing of the pitcher aod catcher.
- At this bour (3:10) three Innings have
been played, and the fourtfl la on. At the
end of tbe tbird Inning the score stood
Senecas, 12 runs; Petrollas, 1 do.
At this writing 4:00 p. m the sixth

Later. Tbe seventh Inning is now on
4:16 p. m. At the end ol the sixth inning
tbe score stood Senecas, 38; Petroliaa, 1.

Tbb Racks. There Is also a large nunu
ber ol people from Rousevllle, Columbia
Fatm, Kane City and Intermediate points,
in attendance at the race course on the Dal
zeli Flats, this afternoon, to witness the
race between sorrel John ol Rousevllle and
sorrel Frank of Petroleum Centre, tor a
purse of $200.
The first beat was called on by tbe judge
at 2:30 p. m., both horses starting off in
good style. This heat was declared off by
the judge, on account ol the rider of sorrel
Frank railing off tbe horse when about half
way over tbe course.
Time was called on tbe next beat shortly
after the first beat was declared off. Sort
rel Frank waa held back by tbe rider, who
evidently misunderstood tbe call for start
ing, consequently the Rouseville horse took
the lead. About tbe middle of tbe course
sorrel Frank bolted tbe track, allowing tbe
Rouoeville horse to come In ahead. Judge
decided la favor ol Rousevllle horse.
gjTbe other beats were both claimed by tbe
Rouseville men, but it la understood tbe
bsokeis of Sorrel Frank "will not have It
that way," aod up to tbe bour of going to
press, it wss thought tbe last to heats
would be ran over again.
Masiow, tbo Jamestown brewery murder

Uacbmaon with stryobnine, and afterwards
used the hammer at tbo instance of bis wife
and. ber mother.
His wife saw him at half-past eleven at
which time she shed tears profusely and
said "Charlie, I forgive you but do not be

Some two or three hundred people were

In our report or a new well on tbe Lewis
Campbell farm, near Petroiia Cltv. an er
ror occurred In regard to tbe ownership
our inrormant gave tbe well as owned as fol.
lows: S. A. Woods, two thirds of the work
log aod land Interest, and Frank Tack and
S. W. Moorbeadthe balance. It should
have been S. A. Woods, ' one-fouttb; A.
H. Tack andS. W. Moorbead, three fourths;
and the land Interest owned by Mr. Lewis
Campbell; Auotber error also occurred.
The Moorbead, Tack Co., well, is pump
ing 100 barrels per day instead of flowing
200, as stated In tbe Brat Item. This cor
rection is made In justice to Messrs. Tack
and Moorbead, and tbe mistake was unin
tentional on the part of our reporter. Tbe
Adams well near tbe above Is flowing from
150. to 200 barrels per day, and this proba
bly acoouota lor tbe error or tbe part of our
informant.
rOnr old friend, Air. Mjeis,;iate one of the
proprletora of tbe Adams House, St. Petew
burgb, was in town a day or two ainoe, rid'
ing behind a spanking team of Iron gray
horses. He says be has not "sulpped away
many barrels of greenbacks" lately, but in
tends to make a raid before long. He lias
not the appearance of a "bloated ariatoorat"
even if he did ship away car loads of green
backs. We only wish be bad them to ship,
as be Is deserving of a pile If any one is.

You will remember that Mrs. Drake Mills
fell from a fourth story window In Washing
ton a few days since, and was filially linj ir
ed. Thereby .bangs a tale of lutercri.
Drake Mills was a retired merchant of New
York, wealthy and of high social position.
She wss born In Williamstowo, Mass., , was
connected with tbe first New England fami
lies, and after ber marriage, a bright light
la society. They had an only daughter
named Alice, who poesssaed many ol tbe
brilliant social qualities of ber mother.
During tbe war, to the surprise of her friends
and tbe intense disgust of her mother, she
beoame enamered with Fernando Wood,
tben a widower. In time they were mar
ried, and an alienation In the family result
ed. Tbe lather took tbe part of Fernando,
and when be died be disinherited bis only
son, Henry fedward, or bis hostility to
Wood. Henry thereupon bad his name
changed by a legislature act from Drake to
Sutton, tbe maiden name of bis mother.
Melher and son kept wholly alool from Mr.
Wood and bis wife, and .steadfastly refused
to recgn!z9 tbem. Mis. DraKe spent her
winters at tbe capital because of ber fond
ness for Washington society, but always
Ignored Fernando. She poeerseed a large
property, and up to ber death lived In roy
al style. Now comes the remarkable part
of tbe atory. Prior to ber death she made a
will, which cootains the following provis
ions: I. It stipulates that tbe portraits and
paintings of every description shall be giv"
en to an institution in Washington, in or da1
that tbey may not be desecrated by tbe
hands of Fernando Wood.
2. She bequeathed one gold dollar to be
daughter, )is. Wood, and oue to each o
ber children.
3. Tbe interest on all ber property) Is to
be given to ber eon Edward during bis life
time. 4. Upon Edward's death onefourth of
ber property is to be given to ber lawver.
ooe-feurtb to a son ol Mr. Mills by a former
wife, and one-fourth to Williams College,
Massachusetts, all in lull possession.
o. rioauy, oer executora are enjoined by
the will to be published in lull In the New
York fleraid as an advertisement.

Tub Blffalo Races The seventh an
nual meetiog of the Buffalo Trotting l'aik
will be given In that city next week, com
mencing on Tuesday the Ctb. Tbe track of
the Buffalo Park is conceded to be the best
in the country, and many Improvements
have been made in it this year. Tbe
amount of premiums offered this yeat ex
ceed any ever belore offered, footing up
$G0,000 and Including four purses ol $10,000
each. Such prizes have attracted tbe speed
iest trotters in tbe country, and the entries
closed with $46,000 paid for entries. Tbe
purse for all horses will be contested for by
Goldsmith Maid, American girl, Lucy and
Henry, In wbioh it Is expected that the best
time on record will be made, If noteclipsed.
Other attractions besides fast horses will be
presented, and It is confidently expeoted
that this meeting will surpass In bri lliancy
all Its predecessors. Lovers of tbe turf
should not miss tbis trotting meeting.
To PnsvgNT Boiler Ikcrtstatiox. At
the extensive shops of the Oneids Commun
ity, where many! boilers are constantly In
use for beating purposes and to furnish
power, a great deal of, troubio was exper
ienced from incrustation for several years.
To prevent this, a heavy expense was In
curred In building soft water tanks, but this
was only partially successful, other exper
iments were tried wbioh resulted in demon
strating that tbe admixture of a small quan
tity.of taonate of soda with water would
wholly obviate tbe difficulty. Hard water
Is now used altogether, and repeated ex
aminations have shown tbat tbe tannate of
soda keep the Inside of tbe boiler perfectly
clean and wbnlly free from scales.
Lord's Boiler Powder, advertised is a
much better preventive than tbe above. It
not only removes tbe Incrustation, but pre
vents It forming afterwards. Mr. A. J.
Hawley is tbe Agent for the sale of this
compound, and we would advise 'every oil
man to call on him and examine It.
