mm Mwmtt Henry A. Parsons, Jr., Editor THURSDAY, AUGUST 0, 1877 Oil News. The railroad strike and the low price of oil has nearly demoralised the oil operations, and drillers 'in the Warren oil district, and for some days, thing looked decidedly blue. The new hundred barrel well of Hell it Co., on the Eggleston farm In Olade, lias created quite an excitement, nnd 'the putting up of more new rigs, nnd the drilling of several old wells to a greater depth, will be the order of ex ercises for the next ten days. The well on the Hosklns farm, a mile or two north-east of the Bell & Co. well, 1.4 full of oil, and as soon ns tanks can be erected, the last blows will be struck, when it is expected the fluid will gush forth In a satisfactory manner. This Is the most north-eastern well, nnd the most remote or outside well In thin district, and If the hopes and expecta tions of its owners should be realized, many new derricks will be put up in the neighborhood, and North Glade will again be the centre of attraction and business. At North Warren on the Asylum Grounds, the well of Struthers & Co. Is down nearly five hundred feet, and the show of both gas and oil indicates a first class well. Watson Co., on the Crull farm a few rods north of the Asylum grounds, have n new well down about four hundred feet. This well will no doubt prove another gusher as it is close to the No. 1 of same company, which has yielded so largely for some months. Dlngley & Co. have been pumping their well across the river in Pleasant Tp. for several days. The production is small but the company think the show suffi cient to j testify the putting down of another well a short distance south east, and they will commence opera tions in a few days on No. 2. The well on Coffee Run, a few miles from Corydon is down about 800 feet, and the drillers express great satisfaction with the present indications of gas and oil, and especially with character of the second sand in which they are at present at work. The striking of two new wells at Bullion, one of 800 and the other of 300 barrels-, has weakened the mai'ket in the lower district, and prices fluc tuated (Wednesday) morning the 8th between $2.50 and $2.35, but at eleven o'clock a sale of 5000 barrels took place at $2.41 J. The market will surely ad vauce, as orders are being constantly .received for the purchase of large quantities of oil, one gentleman of this place having been notified by tele- graph t purchase 100,000 barrels for Boston parties and 50,000 for Rochester parties. Oil is worth about 2,00 at Glade and 1.90 at North Warren There is ivo dilt'eronco in the quality or muse oils and' the difference in price i owing to pipe rates. Thos. Bell & Co. have started a new well on Kirbirger lease. Washington, Aug., 5. No action has yet been taken by the War De partment towards returning the Fed eral troops recently ordered to differ ent points in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Maryland and" elsewhere to the points occupied by them before the labor troubles commenced, and it is not probable the troops will be re moved from these localities for some time to come. A good portion of the President's message upon the reassembling of Congress will be devoted to the con a i deration of the labor question. At numerous Cabinet meetings, held within two weeks past, this subject has in several instances been dis- eussed, to the exclusion of all other matters. Several members of the Cabinet are known to favor the pas' sage of a law providing for the o-rganl zation of a commission, which shall have due regard for the Interest of all concerned producers, merchants, railroad employees and capitalists, so than on any questions a fair com promise may be effected. A member of the Cabinet, in a recent con versa' tiou, spoke of this, and argued that Congress has the right to pass such a law uuder the' clause of the constitu tiou authorizing that body to regulate commerce- with foreign nations and among line several States, and within the Indian tribes. Such commission might be vested with power to ex amine into the desirability of charter ing new railroads, and might require certain conditions to be fulfilled as to establish reasonable certainty that the projected road would be remunerative, and that the company would have means to pay for its construction, and thus avoid disastrous failures. New York, Aug. 5. A Pittsburgh dispatch notes the departure of several companies of regulars for Wilkesbarre The strikers on the Pittsburgh brand of the Baltimore and Ohio are sending threatening letter and shooting at men on the trains. Tom Scott wanted tb County Com mission ers of Pittsburgh to settle the claims for losses by the fires, but tney refused, holding the county is not liable. The Third division, Pennsylvania militia which has been dismissed by the Governor for apparent sympathy with the rioters, has asked for a court martial to examine its record during service. A young man who is evidently without pride of ancestry or tope of posterity is constructing a raft on which he expects next month to ride Dver Niagara Falls. The raft Is being constructed on scientific principles, but no doubt the young man will be drowsed in the common way. CY chmati gcuette. Headquarters Republican State Committee. Harrisburo, July 12, 1877 , By direction of the Republican State Committee, the Republican State Convention heretofore called to meet at Harrlsburg on the Sftth day of August next, is hereby postponed, to meet in Harrlsburg, nt noon, on Wed nesday, September 6, 177. This post ponement Is made nt the request of a large number of delegates elect, who have engagement to be present nt a triennial conclave of Knights Temp lar, which assembles nt Cleveland, Ohio, on the il'.'th day of August next. By order of the Committee, HENRY M. HOYT, Chairman. . WILSON NORRIS, Secretary. The First Shot at Pittsburgh. The testimony at the coroner's In quest over the dend by the Pittsburgh riot makes it evident that the first shot was fired by one of the mob, de scribed ns "a tall thin man, wearing an old straw tint, drawn down over his face, who had before resisted an at tempt to arrest him." This person seems to have been a particularly des perate scoundrel. "He loaded his gun on the sidewalk," said one of the wit nesses, "walked out into tne middle ot the street, kneeled down and shot nt the soldiers. Then lie walked over to the left and prepared his piece again ; ho followed them up; l saw mm nre two shots. Each of these shots killed n. Philmlelnhia soldier, and not until two of their comrades had ianen am the troops return the lire without or ders, it is true, from their officers. Another witness gave, in uie course oi his story, nn instance of the mob's brutality. One of the soldiers came running towards him, crying ns he fell on the sidewalk, "My God! take me somewhere;" I nm shot. The Witness stood over him ns he lny dy ing, "when a man approached us with a revolver In his hand: he was about to shoot the wounded soldier, when I persuaded him, nt my own peril, not to do so; the soldier begged for God's sake not to kill him; the would-be assassin then ran away, when others came up and were about to search the soldier; I again interfered, and said if there was any searching io oe uone t would do it ; at this juncture the regi ment came marching up." A Murderer's Bravado. OOINO TO II18 DUATU WITH JKKB8 OH Ills Lirs AS ASTONISHING SPKCTACVE. Lake Charles, La., July 23. Jole Guid- vcy, conuemneu lor me murtier oi juiiu lienlc, was hanged to-uay m J.aae c-uaries, on the square adjoining ine jau ue mouuted the scaffold al 1:40 o'elock this af ternoon, assisted by the Sueritf and a friend, and accompanied by Father Charles, Guidrey was sent to New Orleans ransh prison for safe keeping, because a rescue was anticipated, During his prison life he gave himself up to religious instruction. He arriveu here on me iit inst., since which time he bag borne himself bravely. He was firm, cool and determined; but constantly declared that he ought not to die for killing Beale, because lieale had seduced his wife and ruined bis borne and his children's future. On the callows Guidrey behaved m a desperate nnd daring manner. He ad dressed the cro-vd, saying that be killed John Benle, and would do so again to day that he ought not lo d tor it, but thai lio would die like a man. Father Charles said a few words ot -assenting. He then turned to nis lrienu on the scaffold ana aaia, ' l am nrm. i nm not afraid to die." He said what C. C. Dusen testified to in court ia not so. He continued talking loud to the crowd, de claring his lnuiUerence to acatn, ana mat lie woulu commit tne same crime ugaiu auu again ; that ne was jusuneu. Before he wur pinioned he took up the rope In his lianas- it was uangiing ironi a beam above him to his feet. He handled the rope and examined the noose, saying, the lall is not enough, i want a mean neck fall of ten feet." The sheriff length ened the rope to a fall of about eight feet, but this did Dot satisfy biuu He tried to n the knot to see if it worked easily. When the black cap was put over his heud he cried out, "Why, I ean see everything." The rope was adjusted and tne slipknot tightened. Ho said, "Not so light, but Dut the knot more on one sidu'of my neck." As the eherin toon up tne axe io cut tne rope he cried out jeeiingly, "I can tee you are going to- eut the rope-" In a few seconds more while the condemned man was saying be did not eare, the axe fell, he rope parted ana uuiarey uiea almost instantaneously.
