The many friends of City Father Florence McCarthy, presented him with so elegant policeman's badge, be having been appointed chief of the night police. The bidge Is Id the form of s shield, about the slxe ol dinner plate and composed of solid tin with an elegant plating of copper. Vo le John Hulbert made the presentation peech, alter which rematks were mad by Aldermen King, Dodge, our reporter aod Quartermaster Myers, of Petersburg. Mr. McCarthy retorted la a few happy remarks, In wbioh he defined lbs duty of a policeman aod what he Intended to do In tbe way of reforms. He proposed to work radical te lorms such a abolishing the lockup, put. ting up at convenient points dry goods boxes ol suitable length to accommodate weary pilgrims marching through this Tale of tears, aod tbe drilling of several water wells lor tbe benefit of the atbiraty. At the conclusion of his remarks, on Invitation ot Commissary Snowdea, tbe entire party partook of aTldioule drink composed o Oild water, and tnuseodod a pleasant oca alon. It may be well enough to state Ina Policeman McCarthy was on duty last night. Telegraph Jispalobes reoaiveii this more Ing anuouuoa tbe striking of a number of new ells in toe lower dlstrlot which are flowing immense volumes of oil. The Overy a Brawley well, a short die tanca north of tbe Troutinan well, struck lb stud yesterday and commenced flow lug oil In large quantities, estimated as high ss forty bsrrels an hour. A new well is reported on tbe MoClellaad farm, which is reported as flowing 200 br' re Is per day. Four or Ave more new wells will soon be completed in tbe veigbborbood of Modoc Ciiy. Tbe sand was struck In tbe Preston well, on tbe Brnbart farm, near Millerstown, yesterday morning. Tbe gas caught Are and two mon named Ma looey and Good rid were fatally burned. Tbe Are was put out, and tbe well Is estimated at 250 bar reU daily. , .. Tbe Greene well, on the Johnson larm, two miles soul b of M il lerstown, w h Ich has been drilling In tbe third sand for several days, began Sawing yesterday morning at tbe rate el 600 barrels per day. Tbe above completes the lift for one day, and us a matter of course tbe market is weak and has a downward tendency. We pi-mi lot lower rates yet. Tbls will be the oaro until tbe producing of oil Is regulated by tbe law ol supply and demand. lu tbe meantime small producers must be oonteot to wail' 'watch aod pray" until the bottom is reaebsd which will not be long. May that time come soon Is the wish ol the operators hereabouts. Suversl more of our oitiztns led tor the Buffalo rices fiis morning. Parts City is the latest down river oil jown. , Iowa lamier complain ol a scarify ol Ir borSrs. Three dollars a day will not bring Ihem halp enough to attend to Iheir crops. And yet (tie cities are lull of idlers. A swimming contest between ladies df lighted a good maoy New Yorkers last Sal urday, at tbe loot el Fitty-fifth street, Fas' river. There were four con 'estaofs Misses Katie Allen, Ellen Allen, Mary Cuuning bam and Frederika Sands. "They swam," we learn from tbe Times, "a distance of about 100 lengths, breas'.iog tbe rough wa ters with snob eourage as lbs swimmers o tbe sterner sex. They were attired ls or-! dinsry batbing suits, and when tbey came out ol tbe water were very anxieua to koow whether they had betrayed symptoms or fright, or bad presented a ridiculous appear. auce. Upon being assured to tbe contrary, I like all woman kind they were greatly pleased. Miss Kate Allen, who has never yet been beaten In a race, was tbe winner; but she magnanimously declined tbe gold bracelets offered her, and at Iter request tbey were presented to Miss Ellen Allen, who bad won deserved plaudits from ber graceful movements In the water. Mis Sands was awarded tbe earrings for ber per. formanoe, aod Miss Wstkins was highly complimented. A force of policemen were present lo preserve order, but everything passed off very plsnsantly. The sports aps pioprlately ended with dancing to tbe mu sic of a baod on the platform near tbe bathing-bouses." Probably this, too may be mentioned as progress; bat tbsre is a cal1 for argument. Drownbd On Tuesday night last, a beater at tbe mill named John Jenkins, while very drunk, was drowned while cross ing tbe. river at tbls place. He bad came to town aod got very drunk on water, of course and on bis Jreturn tell outof tbe skiff wjjb tbe above result. Ua leaves a wile and five children, to mourn his death. Who sold that poor lellow tbe whiskey that cost blm bis life? A terrible responsibility rests with some ooe. Axotmr. On Saturday evening last, a a little daughter of Widow Anderson was crossing Black Fox Creek above Ibis plsee on a log, she fell off and was drowned. The stream was high and il was some time bo fore tbe body was discovered. East Brady Independent, One Albert V. Welobaus was arrested In Lanoaster, P., tbe other day, charged with cruelty to animals In having "twisted oil tbe tails of five pups at the first joint." On the trial tbe defsnoe set up was that, though tbe defendant bad done that very thing, Il was an aot of mercy to tbe dogs There wss a great deal ol evldeooe, aod some of It rather confused the magistrate, who brought up all right, however, io oonoluding the case. ''There cooot," be said, "be any doubt that tbe method adopted of twisting tbe eods off at tt first joiot and pulling out tbe nerve is, under ordinary cirouuistaoces, tbe Infliction of nnneoessary pain, and therefor. oruelty within the not." And yet, there was one slight drabackw in the magistrate's coaolusions he was not, apparently, alto gether clear in bis mind. "But the testi mony before me," be finally remarked, "was that the puppies did not maoifestaoy sign of pain did uot seem to mind It." And so he dismissed tbe oase, with caution to tbe prisoner that tbls would not be considered precedent, as the magistrate might "Changs his mind" II tbe obatge should be renewed. Aod now lei us loqulre if dogs are put lo unnecessary pain by twisting off tneir tans at tne nrst joiot, ana wnetner, on ins wnoie it wouia oe apt io nun inein to have their necks used in that manner. The Oil PituatloR The present unsettled condition of the oil beoi market, with a tendency lo still lower prices, may well excite tbe alarm of produo ere, and business men generally, for we are all In ooe boat together. There is a remedy but t hat remedy Is unattainable. It is lo brlog down tbe production until it Is no greater than tbe demaod. It Is unattaina ble, because there can be no concert of ao- tion among so many producers, nearly all of whom are forced to pump to meet the de mands against them. But, aside Iron tbe oalnral tendency to low prices which an ex oess of any article always produces upon the market; therein speculators whose In terest It is to keep up tbe present depres sion. It tbey can ruin tbe business of tbe producers tbey can buy up large portioos ol tbe territory at a small figure. The produo. er is therefore betweeo two fires; ooe caused by over-production, and another by ipecuy latore, representing a large capital, wbo bear the market and create panics. Tbe end of Ibis must come soon. Pro duction must stop, either by concert ol ac lion, by prices becoming so low that nooe but the lew larger wells oan be kept work tog, or a general smash up aod salea by the Sheriff One or tbe other of these things must happen, or anew outlet for oil must be round that will make tbe demand at least equal to tbe supply. f Greenville Advaoos.
