Ada Seaton. recalled, on rebuttal o( \ e nango Co., witnesses, lint her evidence was objected to —anil both sides rested. Mr. MeQuistion argued the case for the defense and Mr. Bowser for the pro sec u tion, and both made strong arguments. Judge Ilazen's charge was considered a fair one by both sides, and the case went to the jury, who were out for an hour or two and then returned a verdict of not guilty but the defendants to pay the costs. THK SEvfl'KL. Immediately that the verdict was in Mr. Fish instituted proceedings before Esq. Keck to place the girl in the Keforrn school at Morganza, anil the Sheriff took charge of her. The hearing was set for Tuesday morning, but at that time several witnesses from a distance who were ex pected to prove the girl's identity beyond a doubt did not put in an appearance, and the girl's story alone was heard as fol lows: Ada Seaton, sworn, I am not Annie Fish, my father was George Seaton. I was horn in Pittsburg, on the Ist of February and am 10 years of age, my full name is Ada l,cuora Seaton; my mother died and was buried in Pittsburg, 1 moved to Cleve land with my father and brother and we lived on Buffalo street, my father died in Cleveland of fever and I sick of fever at the same time and was expected to die; I went to Keyser's at Victory, near Clevc land, Senaca P. 0.. to live and my brother went west; my father was a tall heavy set man with dark hair and eves, my mother had light hair and blue eyes and was a lit tle larger than me; 1 lived at Keyser's for three years and until Dec. 1888, when I went to Bradford with Mrs. Hughes, and lived at McVeigh's, 1 think Mr. McVeigh was a barber, though I was never in his shop, ho had one child at home and two at school, and lived in a frame house on the hill painted dark, his near neighbor's were Messrs John and Flcin Coast; lived there six months and then went to Parker, stopped over night with a lady friend in Foxburg at a Mr. Elliott's, who was no re lation to one of the defendants, at Parker went to Mavis' and then to Cohen's; my mother was born in Pittsburg and her maiden name was Clara Bonner, my fath er bail a groeery store there. I went to school to a laily named Kinney; it was a briek school house; I have no home. I first saw Mr. Fish in court, he is not my father, don't know Mrs. Ingram, never saw Mrs. Thomas nor Mr. Dale before, don't know anything of these people, heard them all testify and they are all mistaken, and their evidence is not true. Miss Seaton told her story in a calm, straightforward manner anil consid ering her positive identification by the Messrs Fish, Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Dale, in court last week,it certain - I}' is a puzzler. She has no money and claims to have no friends in this neighborhood. The hearing was then adjourned till these people from a distance arrive in town, and the girl's photograph was taken, and will In' sent to persons named in the case for identification. As tar as the case lias gone it has been a very nnfortunate one for all concerned, the costs, attorney's fee, board bill and loss of time will aggregate «t least a thousand dollars for the defendants to pay, and the prosecutrix finds herself in jail. Xothing was done in the case Wednes day, as Es<[. Keck was out of town, and whether or 110 anything will be done to day (Thursday) remains to be seen. An impression is gaining ground here that the whole truth in this remarkable case has not yet come to light and that more time is needed—we might add also that as the girl has 110 money to send for persons to prove her story, that money is needed, and that the persons who employ ed Mr. ISowser to prosecute this ease, should see that he is supplied with the necessary funds. If she is Annie Fish we cannot see why her father did not bring this suit up in Salina. where she is or should be known by everybody, and if she is not Annie Fish, and is Ada Seaton she should not be allow ed to be sent to Morganza. BALAXCK OP CASKS TRIKI) LAST WKKK. Friday afternoon, the case vs. M. J. lirown, indicted for assault and battery on oath of Thos.

Mr. Mi Kee suc ceeded in increasing the yield to twenty barrels per day. From time to time he purchased leases and drilled wells in such a quiet way that oil producers are now surprised to find such a valuable property in this part of the field, where the excite nient raged fiercely in the early days. Mr. McKee's total profit on the property sold is a full SIOO,OOO. One remarkable fact iu connection with this field is that Mr. McKee has alway s strictly observed Sunday. On that day all his drilling and pumping wells were shut down, so that his men could attend church if they desired. There is probably not another producer in thi> entire oil region who shnts down pumping wells over Sun day. THE HUNDRED-EOOT FIKLT). About thirty rigs are up and wells drill ing in the ••Hundred Foot" field west of Petersville. On the Ambersou. Greenlee d Forst have four producers; the Standard Co., have five (nought from Keep d Chris tie); Greenlee A Forst are drilling their Nos. 5 and 6. and Her Christie is building a rig. N OTE —On Tuesday of this week, Green lee d Forst sold their interest in their lease of the Ambersou to the South Penn I Oil Co., supposed to be a branch of the Standard <'o.. and Greenlee d- Forst agreed to complete their No. 5. The price paid is private, but as Greenlee d Forst refused $30,000 a few days before, it is supposed to equal or exceed that sum. On the Hazlett, Hazlett d- Co., have one prodncer;on the Welsh, Huselton d Co. have a good producer, four wells are drilling and 4 or 5 rigs are up; on the lioltou the Uar mony Oil Co., have a well in that shows for a 25 bbl producer and Heed A Co., arc drilling; on the Jno. Miller, Greenlee d Forst have a well down about 1000 j'eet, and H. Christie is building a rig; ou the Knauff, the Kanawha Oil Co., brought in a well last week thai is doing forty bbls—it adjoins Greeulee d Forst's lease of the Ambersou to the South; on the Bishop,ad joining the Knaulf to the South, Ed Brown d Co., got a good well last week, doing 30 or 40 bbls. and the Kanawha Oil Co., start ed one this week; on the Marshall heirs, Sutton d Walker's No. 1 is doing 40 bbls and their Xo. 2 is down about 1000 feet—this farm adjoins the Ambersou to the North; the b«lt seems to run nearly due North and South. AT TUE CENTRE. McCalmont Oil Co's No. 2on the Mon tag, reached the sand last Sunday evening and began flowing at the rate of from 50 to 75 barrels per hour. The strike was unex pected and for a few hours the oil ran to waste. On Tuesday this well was drilled for a few minutes when she began flowing at the rate of 125 per hour, and seemed to take the oil from the Ycakle which decreased to 10 bbls an hour. The Klingensmith well, northeast of the big wells will make a twenty to thirty a day pumper. A guage of the old wells showed Yeakel to be doing 10 an hour, McCalmont 3, Fin negan 8, and Christie 125 a day. Campbell <!• Murphy, Christie & Co., Simpson it Co., and Yeakel i£ Co. have lo cated new wells, ami Smith <1- Co. have one going down a thousand leet in advance of the old wells, which is expected in nest week. The Syndicate well on the the Marshall, Bakerstown field, is doing 1"> an hour. Butler Opera House. SEPT. 20TU, ISB9. KUYPT: Those who were fortunate enough to attend the theatre last evening were no doubt surprised at the deep and absorbing interest enteriug in Laura Don's play as brought by Effie Ellsler an;l her excellent company. Those who have ad mired Elfie Ellsler in serious roles, should bv all means sec her in ''Egypt." It is a revelation, showing how broad and com prehensive is her art. She makes of this girlish part a delightful picture, full of the charm of simplicity, a charm that has 110 equal by the way. The play is a remarkable creation in a way. It introduces a dream that is proba bly more original, and affording a wider scope to the actress than any known to the stage. Its characters are drawn from life and arc all good, and its direction is fre quently superb. There is a wonderful climax in the third act, where Egypt re ceives the news of her father's death, but to speak briefly it is a strong play, abound ing in dramatic interest.—Omaha ttepnh lien ii.

The oil market continued steady not withstanding the big strike at the Centre. Explanation. We have been telliug you all summer how we began the buggy business nine years ago, and now probably you would like to know how we are succeeding. We will tell yon. First we like to tell it be cause it did so much for our fellow citi zens, and second, because it has placed us in the foremost rank among the large dealers iu this great State of ours. We believe we have the largest wholesale trade, and are confident we have the lar gest retail trade also. To give you an idea, our Mr. Licghncr has just returned from N. V. State, where lie contracted to have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of one kind of carts made; this we believe is the largest deal ol'the kind ever made in the State. Just think ot it, $25,000 worth of one kind of road carts, and then think of the many other kinds we are handling. Yon would naturally ask. "Where do they go?" We could not tell you here, the freight agents at the different depots could give you some idea, but they go. One thing you may be certain 01, that it's not buying dear and selling hii/li that makes them go. Then think of the number of Baggies, Wagons, Harness, «fcc., that we sell; it would scare vou to tell you the amount we have sold since last January. Vou ask again, how does it. come. Can't others buy for cash too and sell just as cheap as you do? We answer: We use our own capital; we pay no rent; we have not bought a bill in 0 years, that we did dis count. You see we make this a business exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad vantage you will understand in an instant when we tell you. According to agree ment among carriage manufacturers the price is uniform on same grades of work, but purchasers of 50 jobs or more get a dis count of 3 per ceut; purchasers of 100 jobs or more get a dis count ofs percent, and purchasers of 300 jobs or more get a dis count of 10 per cent, which is the largest discount allowed any dealer, and as we buy more than 300 you sec we can" sell you work at the same price small dealers pay, and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to give you the benefit of our advantage in the market, for it is your patronage that helps us, and it is only right that while you stand with us we should not betray your confidence, anil we won't. Remember we are here all the time, our word is as good as gold. Vou know what you are getting every time, we tell you plainly. We have all kinds, the cheapest and the very best, so can just suit you; we don't try to get rich off one customer. We never mis represent. ("all and see us, whether you want to buy or not.
