Address, FRANK THOMAS Jk Co., Publishers, Baltimore, Md. Oil Field Notes. J The Derrick's report for October credits I Butler county with 61 wells completed. 14 of which are dry, and pats the production of the others at 2727 daily, an average of about 58 barrels. The Centennial Com pany's No. 6 on the Keep is rated at 200; their Xo. 4 on the same, Colbert 5 on the J. C. Brandon, and Christie's 22 on the Ifft at 150 each. The Jefferson Company's 1 on the Kornrumpf is rated at 500; Phillips' 17 on the Stamm at 225; the Hoffman 12 on the Mr Lane, Butchers' on the Clenden ning, and McJunkin 2 on the Brenneman at 100. Phillips 3on the Byerly is rated at 80. C. <fc W.'s 6on the Jas. Welsh at 75. and the others from that down to 3 barrels. Fifty-nine rigs are up in the county, and 84 wells drilling. The total number of dry holes completed in all the white sand fields is put at 104, and the decline in new production is put at 5762. W. J. McKeo got a good well on the Jas. Cashdollar at Callery last Thursday. She started off at 55 an hour and will probably make 100 or 150 barrels when completed. On Monday she was drilled deeper and flowed at the rate of 225 barrels. Hovis <fc Redd's well on the Blakely pumped 60 barrels Monday. The McKin ney <t Cowell well north of Zolienople is rated at 10 barrels; the Hundred-foot's 4 on the Humphrey was doing 20 barrels an fconr Monday; Steele <ir Guckert's No. 1 on the Gray pumped 65 barrels the first day. Tate A Co. 's 3 on the Dambach is a fair pamper, and Christie's 8 on the Amberson is dry. Colbert & Co. shot their No. 6 on the J. C. Brandon last Thursday, and she started off at 50 barrels aa hour. The Heeiex and McGintv 3 on the Bran don are rated at 100 each. The Millison £ Co. well on the Ball farm. Bakerstown field, irf in the saud. The Forest 4, on the Eli Goehring, Glade Bun, was drilled into the sand and shut down last Thursday, and their 9 on the Eli May is 90 feet in sand and showing good. Greenlee A Forst's 12 on the Ralshouse, Wild wood, is reported doing 500 barrels a day. Sew wells are going down in the Mt. Chestnut field on the Brandon, Shaster and Campbell farms. It is said that Mr. Shakley paid S6OO for a lease of 30 acres off the Campbell. The reporter of the Derrick says that the Hy Banson well on the J. L. Beatty farm, near Hilliards, has no oil in the hole and will not be shot. He says, "The second san 1 was found at a depth of 1,030 teet and was 56 feet deep. The first 14 feet was loose and pebbly and contained some oil. The remainder of the 56 feet was hard and close. The third or Byrom Centre sand was fonnd at a depth of 1,180 feet, and was ten feet thick and of a dark slaty nature, with no traces o! oil. They are now dril ling at a depth of 1,240 feet, and will drill 15 feet deeper, and if nothing is fonnd the hole will be abandoned. Tne explosives were on the ground, but the owner thinks her not worth shooting, and has had the glycerine removed. There is no demand for leases at SSO, SIOO or SIOOO an acre, or any other price. The present owner of the well just mentioned will sell it and the lease for a hundereA dollars. The well, like many other ventures in and around II illiard's Mills, is a failure." GRAND OPENING.

I Court met Thursday noon to tabulate and count the vote of the county, with Messrs. McFarland. Wise. Painter and Ward acting as clerks. Emma Stroup has sued for divorce from W. H. Stroup. Letters of administration were granted to A. T. Black, Esq., on estate of Jamc-s McElhaney. The will of Thos. McMeekin, of Buffalo Twp., was probated—no letters; also will of Philip Heinz and Anna C. Heinz, late of Oakland Twp., and letters to A S. Griffin; also will of James McKissick. late of Par ker Twp , no letters; also will of Susan Hilliard, late of Washington Twp.. and letters to P. P. Hilliard; also will of James G. Huddleson, late of Mercer Twp., no letters. The State Supreme Court has teversed the case of Veon vs Craton, taken up from Venango Co. on the grounds that the suit for damages should have been brought by the son. who was of agp.and not the father. Young Veon was injured on the track of the A. Y. R R. near Emlenton so as to necessitate the amputation of one leg and part of the foot of the other leg. The lather nursed him and paid for his medical attention until he recovered. The suit was then brought by him in which he alleged that he was aggrieved by the act of the defendant, and claimed damages for the injuries sustained by his son. "The only question in this case," the court says, "is whether or not George S. Veon. the plaintiff, who is the father of M. 11. Veon. is a person 'aggrieved!' or is a person who hath sustained an injury to person or pro perty iu consequence of the defendant's '•ritr.inal act, within the meaning of the a<t of 1854. A person aggrieved must necessarily be one who ha* suffered an injary to person or property. The term property nas not been construed in its strict or literal sense. However, it has been held to embrace the .pecuniary in terest which a wife has in the life of her husband and therefore a widow is entitl ed tn recover for the death of her buiband. But even Ibe widow has no right of action, at law or by statute, except for injuries to her person or her property or for her hus band's death or under some circumstances, prelaps. for the death of a child. The reasoii for this is obvious. During the life time of her husband the right of action is in him. A recovery by both at separate suits was never contemplated. M. H. Veon was 25 years old and if there is any right of recovery for the injuries it would seem to be in the son. If the son bad been a minor his father might perhaps have sustained a suit for loss of bis services. The money was voluntarily laid out by his father, and is a loss to be sustained by him.'' SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. The Supreme Court sitting at Pittsburg handed down some decisions Monday, among which were two Butler county cases both of which were affirmed. The cases were those of Miller vs Balfour, and McLaughlin vs Collins. LATE PROPERTY TRANSFERS. Jno. Wallace to I. X. Bryon, 15 acres in Brady township for $250. J. H.

A farmer named Jlatliias near Madison, Westmoreland Co. lost -1 ?heep last Satur day night. A neighbor met the chap driving them away but did not suspect anything wrong at the time. A misplaced switch sent a train of load ed coal car* throngh a hotel at Huntingdon last Thursday night, and the guests rushed to the street in their night clothes. The Parker J'lianix says that a rambo apple tree on the farm ol James Martin, on Jack's run, in Ross twp., Armstrong Co., it loaded down with blossoms which came out some few days ago and is the wonder of the entire neighborhood. In the East End, Pittsburg, there is a fashionable sowing society that meets once a week, and during its last meeting the hu-band of one of its members dropped in. j took the chair offered him, and then took a pair of old stockings out of his pocket and darned away at them till the ladies ordered him out of the house. The Seventy eighth regiment held their eighth annual reunion in Kittanning last week. Over 100 of the survivors were in attendance, who, with their friends, com fortably filled the Court House at the re ception held in the afternoon. The pro gramme consisted of reading of letters of regret from absent members and interest ing impromptu addresses by many of the comrades present. The committee on the •Sirwell monument made a report showing : an indebtedness of S2O which was qnickh j subscribed by the members present to gether with a considerable snrplus which was voted lo the family of their late colo j cel. A largely attended camp lire was I held in the evening. Farmer Owen Graff, of Quakertown, Bncks comity, last a haystack of fifteen tons mi W ednerday by a gunner shooting into it accidentally and setting it on fire. The people of Youngstown 0. are excited over the report that a syndicate of English capitalists has purchased eight of their rolling mills for four million dollars. -Ake Miller, of Oneida township. Hunt ingdon county, saw three deer in his corn field one day last week. He got his gun and succeeded in shooting one ot them. The anti-lottery law passed by the recent Congress proves te be a very tight fit. It excludes from the mail everything in the shape of games or schemes that depend on chance. Last week the entire edition of the Ft. Wayne Journal was thrown out of the mails by the postmaster because the paper published an account of a Catholic church fair, which contained a list of the numbers which had drawn prizes. Another paper was stopped because it contained a short item in regard to "'chancing off" a sofa pillow. It is said that the farmers of Mercer county are going th start a paper of their own at Mercer. The Cochranton Times is is of the opinion that they can get rid ot the net proceeds of their sarplus crops about as surely by starting a newspaper in a field already filled as they can by signing papers for strangers. County Controller Speer of Allegheny Co. last week, reiused to approve the bill of Theresa Teets fur $305 for witness fees The woman was a witness in the Killen murder case and was committed to jail bj the coroner pending the trial of the eaae She war- in jail 305 days, and according to custom presented a bill for a $1 a day tor the lime, she was imprisoned Judge Whire followed precedent by approving her bill. •Vhen it was presented to Controller Speer lie took a new course and declined to authorize the payment. He said there was no law to authorize the payment of such bills and referred to a decision of Judge IT ickham of Beaver county in a similar ease. In this decision it was held that witnesses for the Commonwealth who eould not luroish bail ..>r their appearance were not entitled to pay for the time they were iu jail. The present ease will pro eably be taken to the court for a decision which will serve as a rule for the future. George Fngtindas of Franklin; who was well kcowii iu this county, was found dead iu an outhouse at Sample's Station, Mon day. There has been a startling exposure of official corruption in the Commissioners' offiee of Clinton county. That.county lost heavily ir. bridges by the great flood of Jnne, 1889, and it is alleged that the Coun ty Commissioners, in making contracts for new bridges, were guilty of collusion with the builders and paid over $24,000 lor work that actually cost only $4,000; yet this in only of the investiga tion.
