Sunday evening about five
o'clock the gas suddenly ceased to
flow. A rig was sent out to the wells
to ascertain tbe wbyfor, when it was
discovered that some vandal or van
dals had closed tbe valve at the well,
thus shutting off every particle of
gas. Somebody will be caught at
tbis devilisboess some day, and then
that somebody will learn what an ex
pensive piece of business it is to med
dle with things that are liable to
cause destruction to both life and
property. There wouldn't be much
mercy shown to tbe hell-hound who
Is thus caught.
Lyman Cook, with a crew of
eight or teu men, a couple of teams
together with all necessary parapher
nalia for doing the work, boarded a
coal flat at this place Monday morn
ing for tbe purpose of making ann-
ther voyage of river channel im
provement between here and Pitts
burg. Tbis trip is at Uncle Sam's
expense and the work will be very
throughly done, so that in very low
stages oi water Doals can be put to
market. Mr. Collins has beeu large
ly instrumental in getting the govern
menl't attention in this direction, as
well as in tbe construction of tbe dam
which is now well under way at the
mouth of the creek. These improve
incuts will be of inestimable value to
lumbering industries of tbis section.
Death of an Heroic Lady.
Ex-Sheriff George W. Sawyer
was last week summoned to bis old
home in Boston, by the death of his
sister. Tbe Charlestown, Mass., En
terprise of the 16th inst., contains Ibis
sketch of the deceased : Lucy A..
wife of Joseph 8. Bradley of Hud
son, and daughter of the late Seth
Sawyer of tbis district, died at her
home on Monday, of apoplexy.
bne was born in Charlestown in 1827
and passed her early life here, where
she will be pleasantly remembered by
many of tbe older residents.
Ao incident of her career at that
time speaks volumes for her courage,
She bad been on a visit to ber brother,
Henry Sawyer, who was consul at
Surinam, South America. She was
returning on a sailing vessel when it
sprung a leak in midocean, aud it
was with great difficulty that it could
be kept afloat. As the ship ap
proacbed tbe coast tbe weather be
came bitterly cold and stormy, and
finally the crew despairingly decided
to pump no more. Then Miss Saw
yer went to tbe pumps, began to
work them alone, aud by ber exam
pie aud judioious, kindly words gave
the tired men new hope and zeal. The
vessel came safely to port, but Miss
Sawyer had frozen both feet in ber
heroic work. Tbe board of insurance
underwriters desired to make ber a
present at the time, but she refused
tbe proffered gift.
Petroleum Statistics.
One of tbe most interesting public
docuuieuts ever sent out by the De
partment of Internal Affairs will be
issued as part third of Secretary
Stewart's anuual report. It will be
the annual report of Profemor Albert
S. Bolles, Cbief of the Bureau of In-
ustrial Statistics. Among other in
teresting matter contained iu this re
port i an elaborate historical and
statistical account of the production
petroleum iu Pennevlvauia, its
consumption and exportation. Scarce
ly thirty years bave passed since the
first barrel of refined oil was offered
for sale. Notwithstanding tbis the
exports rank fourth in the list for
alue, aud are surpassed only by cot
ton, breadstutfs aud provisions. For
the year eudiog June 30tb, 1864, the
total exports were 23,000,000 gallons,
Five years later tbey had increased
to 100,000,000 gallons; iu 1874 to
200,000,000 gallous and in 1891 to
700,000,000 gallons. The reduction
n the price of petroleum is quite as
noteworthy as tbe increase in produo-
lou, quantity and exporatioo. A
gallon in bulk cost in 18C1 not less
than 58 cents ; iu 1892 not more than
3) ceuts, or hardly one-seventeeuth
f the old price. Pipe lines aggre
gating 25,000 miles in length have
been laid, and 9,000 tauk cars bave
been built, which, if forming a single
train, would extend 65 miles. Be-
ides these cars, and a number of
bulk sailing and other vessels, 50
ulk steamers are now employed in
transporting tbe oil to foreign coun
tries. Tbe estimate of total capital
equired for tbe production, manufac
ture and transportation of petroleum
and iu products is not far from 8300,
000,000. Many interesting facts
might be taken from tbis report rela
ting to the early discovery of petro
leum. The account is truly an indus
trial romance. Tbe mode of these
iscoveries, tbe variety of them, the
umerous speculations, the faith ex
i bi led in tbe industry, tbe capital
uvested, tbe products obtained by re
iuing, the exportation to all parts of
the globe, the great diminution in
price, the entensive use of petroleum
and its by-products, combined, make
one of tbe most interesting stories of
tbe kind ever published. Uarrubnrg

The rarest American coin is tho dollar
of 1804. Not more than ton of them are
known to be in existence. The story
that is frequently told of one of them
being found and sold at a fancy price

ot allowance. This dollar has been coun
terfeited, but an expert can easily doteet
the fraud. A dollar of 1804 should be
handled with great circumspectiou and
regarded with a great deal of suspicion

A Chattanooga judge has surprised and
shocked Bocioty witli a decision that pro
gressive euchre and all games in which
prizes are the stimulants of skillful play
are gambling pure and outright and that
persons who indulge in them are answer
able to the law. The view is not a now
one, but it has not before been expressed
in this official manner from the bench.
Those who are inclined to follow and
preach a very dellnite and strict code of
morals have declared these prize games
as doubtful amusements for a long time.
But the verdict of "high society" from
the first placed the seal of popular ap
proval upon such games, and the lm
mense popularity of progressive euchre
and like games attostw to tbe general
agreement in this opinion.
In the trial of the prosecution of Val
entine Ochs, of Paint township, against
Austin Hess for cattle stealing Hess be
ing convicted of revolving stolen cattle
it was developed that Hess and several
others formed a secret society, which
they called "the cattle lodge," about fif
teen months ago for the purpose of steal
ing cattle. Subsequently, it is said, a
number of persons in surrounding coun
ties, with criminal proclivities Joined the
lodge. Each member thereof, on joining,
was required to pay an initiation fee of (3
and to take an oath to reveal nothing con
cerning any member of the society and
to do all in his power for tho reliof of any
member who should get into trouble in
"the cattle business." It is believed that
Hess was the leading spirit and origina
tor of tbe lodge and that through his con
viction its back bone has been broken.
