A lady of this town lately under
took to do a job of carpet cutting and
missed it sadly—having had to buy
almost an entirely new carpet. To
cut, a carpet is a very simple matter
wb«B you once understand it. The
lengths must be cut from any part of
one figure to the same part of a simi
lar figure, and afte/wards, if they are
too long, trim to the proper length, al
lowing an inch or two at each end
for a turndown. In buying a carpet
it is best to first measure the length of
your room across the boards, allowing
for turndowns if you intend buying a
Brussels.

; Five Burglars .4 rresied HI Oil
j C'ity as»«l I.mlgeri in the
Mercer Jail.
I Mercer was aroused from her mid-
I summer lethargy ou Tuesday of last
! week by the arrival of five "knights
! of the skeleton keys" securely hand
cuffed and escorted by Detective Nel
i son and Constable Boies, of Greenville.
I The strangers were at once shown to
j safe quarters under surveillance of
Sheriff Kile.
I The morning papers had already an
i nounced the fact that they constituted
I a desperate gang of expeit cracksmen
I The earliest trace of them that can be
obtained was at (jlreenville where
they appeared on Saturday afternoon.
From what quarter they came is not
known. They carried several carpet
bags which were left in a grocery
store until 10 o'clock at night. The
afternoon was spent in wandering
about the streets. After securing their
baggage it is supposed they immedi
ately went to work to rob the safe
in the Union Express office. They
were well equipped for their profession,
as an excellent kit of the finest burglar
tools was subsequently discovered to be
the principal contents of their valises.
An enterance into the express office
was effected by boring a hole through
the front door, Dear the lock, and
forcing the bolt with a jimmy. The
daring character of tbe burglars evi
denced by the boldness of their deed,
as the express office is situated on the
principal street of the town. The
safe was a new one and claimed by the
manufacturers to be burglar proof.
The knob of the safe door was first
broken off and then a hole made with
a diamond drill just below and little
to one side of tbe knob. A punch" was
then inserted and tbe combination so
disarranged that tbe door readily
opened. They left and were arrested
at Oil City.
Ol the prisoners, the "old man,"
who registered at Corry as Pat Flaher
ty, is the oldest and the leader of the
gang. He is apparently about fifty
five, heavy set and weighs over 180
pounds; his hair is grayish but has
betu black He has a keen, shrewd
look, and would be taken for a smart
business man. His movements are ac
tive and denote a jjervous, wiry, ener
getic man.* The whole gang prusents a
a rather Due appearance being respect
ably dressed, and, three at least, seem
to be men of more than average in
telligence. The remaining four range
in ages from twenty-four to thirty-live,
and all ace, iij looks much above the
ordinary criminal, and only one pos
sesses what would be considered a
bad countenance.
They are believed to be the same
crew that robbed the Mercer postof
tice aud broke opea numerous other
safes recently iu that county. All
these jobs bear the marks of skillful
cracksmen. In style of work and size
of holes drilled aud iu the manner of
executing their designs a striking
similarity is recognized.
A Itegiilar H
A Mr. H. W. Wise has left here
for parts unknown and defrauded a
number of our citizens. He was en
gaged iu furnishing railroad ties to the
Pittsburgh & Western Company. For
this purpose he purchased timber of
several farmers ; had the ties sawed
by contract with the owners of several
saw mills; had thepi delivered on the
track of the road, and then bad them
inspected by the ageut of the road and
taken off his bands. About ten days
ago, it is said, ho received from the
Company about §14,000.00 for a large
number of ties thus delivered and in
spected, and instead of paying the
honest owners aud laborers for their
timber and toil, he has run off and is
attempting to cheat them. He had
promised to pay as soon as he received
his money from the Company, and
many of those he owed were in need
and anxiously awaiting their bard
earned money. It seems that this is
not the first game he has played ip the
matter of furnishing railroad ties and
the matter should be investigated by
all ways possible. Warrants have
been issued for him arjd it is to be
hoped that he may be followed up and
brought to justice. He said became
from Lebi<jb county this State. He
is called It. W. Wise, but whether
that is his real name or not is not
known. His last place of staying
while in this county was about Har
mony and the report says that he
ensnared a young lady of that place
to go away with hiip.

Th'? great success at the Sheide
mantle well ha-? again revived the oil
excitement I ere. Last Thursday the
i sand was reached and the well began
to flow. This Was at the depth of
154S feet. Drill.ng, however, e u
tiuued on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day about 32 feet further into the rock,
the sand still increasing in good quali
ty and the oil increasing in its flow,
tLe tools stiil remaining iu the well.
Its flow from then to this time, as near
as can be told, is about 210 barrels per
day. When the tools are removed and
the well tubed, old operators predict,
with confidence, that the flow will bo j
largely increased. As it is, it surpass- !
es tbe Simeox & Myers well, being |
considered a better one iu all respects, j
The most favorable fact as to this
territory is the natrre of the sand rock.
It gets better as it deepens. Its thick
ness is from 40 to 50 feet and the grain
increases in coarseness and productive
ness towards tbe bottom. This insures
long lasting wells. We are told it is
different in the great Warren and
Bradford fields. There the best or
most flow is had upon the top of the
rock, and the rock often not more than
10 or 15 feet in depth. Hence the re
sult has been, and will be, that the
wells soon flow out and the territory
exhausted. The depth and Dature of
the Bald Ridge rock gives every
promise this territory will last for a
much longer time than the upper ter
ritory.
The Sheidemantle is on the Smiek
purchase, John Weber farm, »ud about
a hundred rods nearly due south of the
Simeox & Myers. The well drilling
by Mr. Smick himself is about 20 or 30
rods still further southward of the
Sheidemantle. Mr. Smick has no
doubt of it also being a good one. He
is an experienced operator and consid
ers the character of that territory as
now established.
Tanks are being erected and pipe
connections already made. The only
draw back is the low price of oil, but
as soon as it rises we look for lively
times in the Bald Ilidge and adjacent
territory. Between Butler and there
no doubt is left that good wells cau be
obtained whenever wanted.
LATER —Latest news from the
Sheidemantle well is that she is in
creasing in flow and production.
Several other wells drilling in the Bald
Ridge are expected to reach the sand
within the coming two or three weeks.

Parker Phu»nix, July 2».j
On Friday night last, a mean, low
lived sneak, under cover of darkness,
deliberately set fire to one of J. I'.
Parker's wells and destroyed the rig,
tanks, several barrels of oil, etc., en
tailing a severe loss to Mr. Parker's
creditors. This makes the second
time the torch has beeu applied to Mr.
Parker's property withiu a week,
'{'here js not a respectable mail in the
whole neighborhood who uouutenanoes
such contemptible and villainous pro*
ceedings. The guilty party should be
hunted down and made to pay dearlj
for his hellish deed. This is supposed
to be a Christian country, composed of
law abiding persons and yet would-be
assassins parade the streets and prattle
what tljey will do, etc., and the mid
night vandal applies the torch. If
matters arc not allowed to proceed ac
eording to law and justice, a vigila n ce
committee will be formed and woe un
to the devils in human form, if they a-e
caught. When the first well was fired
it was deemed best to quietly submit,
but the last dastardly outrage has
placed many a man, though he be a
financial sufferer, on his metal to see
that right be done by all.
We are requested to say that some
seven or eight of the registry lists of
voters of this county have not been re
turned to the County Commissioners'
office. The law requires these returns
to be made to the Commissioners office
before or by the first of August, in
order that thqy niay he copied and put
up in the several districts 30 days be
fore the day for payment of taxes by
the voters. Those assessors not hav
ing yot returned their lists should
therefore do so immediately.

A not unimportant element in the
consideration of the Egyptian question
is the value of the Arab as lighting
material. Of the courage of the
wretches who beat the brains of .-o
many Europeaus caught by surprise
and unarmed in the late Alexandria
riot-, one may judge by tin incident
whitih to( k place in the course of
them. On the great square of Alexan
dria some ioO of thece patriotic pro
testors against the rule «>f the foreigner
were engaged in hunting Europeans,
when four attendants cf the tribunal
ru-ihed out of the sanctuary with drawn
swi rds, and the whole 200 took to
1 precipitate liight, leaving tbe square
j empty of all but the dead and wound
' ed and the four messengers of justice.
| Without some firm assurance of mus
j tafiz or nizam it is quite certain that
none of tbe rabble would ever have dared
to raise a hand against a foreigner.
A kourbash is quite enough for the
courage of the Egyptian on ordinary oc
casion. As a soldier the bloody
regime of Mehemet Ali has given him
a prestige which, like tbe "scent of
roses," lingers long after the orgau i
zation is shattered. It is true that
once Egpytian soldiers defeated
Turkish . but the latter were in a
much lower state of dicipline than
now, while the former were ruled
with a vigor of which the following
incident related by a veteran who re
membered Mehemet Ali, will give an
example. A milkwoman came to the
Pasha one day complaining that one of
his soldiers had robbed her of the
milk she was bringing to camp. The
soldier was identified, and denied
having taken the milk. "What did
he do with it?" asked the Pasha.
"Drank it," was the reply At a
sign the man's head was cut off his
body, and his stomach, being opened,
was found full of milk. "Go," said
tbe Pacha to the horrified woman,
paying bc-r the value of her milk ;
"but if he had not taken it, your head
would have paid for it."
Internal Revenue Taxes.
The internal revenue tax discussion
was continued in the Senate at Wash
ington, July 20, the pending amend
ment being to strike out the provisiou
repealing taxes on bank capital and de
posits, bank checks, drafts, &c. Yoor
hees vehemently declaimed against the
amendment as an odious exemption in
the iuterest of a favored class. During
his speech he had several little politi
cal tilts with his colleague, Mr. Harri
son. Mr. Jonas of Louisiana took ad
vantage of the discussion to unload a
speech in fayor of the sugar tax.
Air. Butler and others favored re
moving the tax on bauk deposits, but
were indisposed to favor the sweeping
amendment of the committee. The
pending amendment was rejected, 15
to 4 I.
The Senate committee amendment
to the first sec«.ion a-i amended, by a
reduction of tax on tobacco, was then
agreed to —39 to o—and the question
recurred on the remainder of the sec
tion. The portion adopted fixes the
taxes on manufactured tobacco after
Jan. 1, 1883, at 12 cents per pound,
and provided the repeal of the capital
and deposits of banks and bankers
shall not effect such taxes as are now
due anu payable, and that the repeal
of the stamp tax on cteeks, drafts, or
ders, and vouchers shall not take effect
until Oct. 1.

Some of the civil eng'neers working
in the interest of the Pittsburgh &
Western railroad, in the vicinity of
Rock Point, this county, on last Sun
day made a remarkable iind. They
discovered a reiic of antediluvian times
in the shape of the upper jaw boues of
the long extinct animal, <ervus primo
gen it us. The bones measured ebout
two feet and a half, which would make
the head about four feet. Judging
fom this the height of this deer must
have been from ten to fou r ieen feet. It
bved at the time of the mastodon, aud
did not become extiect until sometime
during the stone age of man. The relic
was brought to the Rock Point Hotel,
from whence it was taken to Pitts

During a eountrv election Jim
MeSnifter worked very bard for Col.
Percy Verger, one of the candidates.
They -Jvere personal friends. Colonel
Verger had never promised Jim any
thing so he thought he would sound
him on the subject. "Colonel Yerger,
peop'e say that if you are elected you
are going to make me your deputy,"
remarked Jim suggestively. "Don't
you let tbera fool you Jim," retorted
Colonel Verger, indignantly, "that's
a campaign lie gotten up to injure me
with the respectable classes. If you
hear anybody say that I am going to
appoint you my deputy, tell b'm that
I'm not that kind of . a man, and you
will oblige me very much." Jim
went off mad, and Colonel Verger,
who was afterwards defeated, always
attributed his defeat to Jity's failure to
deny the injurious rumor. They have
not spoken each other siuce, for
