Rumors were current in oil circles last
nlgbl of the striking of two Immense flow
lug well near Modoc City and Millerstown.
They were rated all the way Irom 400 to
3,300 barrels per day. In conseqoeooe oil
took a downward jump of ton to fifteen
Cents per barrel.
Tbe above rumors were verfled by reports
In the morning papers. One of these wells
is located oo tbe Harper tract, near Modoo
City, and Is flowing at the rate of from 20
to 36 barrels per hour. Owned by Van
dergrift A Porman, of Oil City; H L Tay

Another well on Starr farm, began flow

Tbe Boyer well struck tbe saod yesterday

a prominent oil operator, "tbo country bad

Tn "Bona i a or Bdtlsr." This is the
name applied to Mrs. Rebecca Snyder, who, j
In connection with a man named John W.
Foreman, attempted to poison her husband
and obildreo in Butler last week, full pel
licular! ol wbfeh we gave io our last issue.
On last Saturday Mrs. Snyder and Foreman
were taien before Justice Keek, In Butler,
and after a bearing were committed for
trial at Court. Tue evidence arzaimt them
is very strong, aod there ia acaicely a doubt
of their conviction.
Late developments establish the tact that
Foreman and Mrs. Snyder were crimioally
intimate, and it will also be provvu that
Foreman attempted to poison Soyder by
placing arsenic In a pitcher of water, wbil
tbey were working together in a bay Held.
Foreman get rid of bis wife by abusing ter

bad a clear field to carry on bis love affairs
with Mrs. Soyder. A sesreb in Forman's
bouse resulted io tbe discovery ot several
letters from Mrs. Soyder, which show that
bo was completely In Foreman 'a power.
Sbo signed some of ber letters "Your wife,
Rebecca Foreman. "
Snyder bad faith In bis wife until a short
lima eso. A circus visited Butler, and be
asked his wife to go with him to the show
She said she didn't want to go, but after
wards went with Foreman, and was seen
there by ber husband. From that time he
became morose aodjdowo hearted, aod oft
oa threatened to commit suioide. nil wife
and Foreman tried to save htm tbe trouble,
but tailed. Tho following letter from Mrs.

Discovery of Oil in Newark.
Yesterday, while several men were en
gaged In digging tbe sewer in Seventh aven.
ue, near High street, a vein of water strong,
ly .mixed with oil was struck about twelve
feet under ground. A large bole Was dug
underneath tbe stratum of earth containing
the oil, and a steady stream oozed out of Ibe
rocks and rapidly filled tbe exoavatloo. Bo
fore night over a barrel bad been collected,
aod still there wss no sloptge of tbo flow.
Justice Lambert visited tbe place and alter
testing tbe oil, found it to bo of a good
quality, though considerably mixed. Up to

precious though gressy fluid were collected,
and will probably be speed ily sent to a re.
