Eastern Tennessee has a burning oil well at Glenmary. It was drilled by the 1 Weiser Bros, and ii e.-timated to be flw j in? 1,200 bills. i The Standard is paying $1.40 today. j MARION —The well in the Levi Porter was pumped last Thursday, and it tilled a 50-bbl tank in 8 hours It is located one and a half miles scuthwest of Ciintonrille. ani is owned by William Stuart ci«uragu the hardiest prospec tois, presented themselves. At one period things were running along quite smoothly and the members ,of the company were congratulating themselves, hoping that iheir tri-Us were about over, when au un furl uuate accident occurred. A duller Gamed Braden, who lived witL his wifu and children at Two Mile run, near FrauK lin, was caught between the headache post a:.d the walking beam, being crushed so bully tliat death ensued in a few nours. Thi caused operations to cease for several wt eks, and caused some of the owners to think that the well was, indeed, a ••Jonah." They were in f«»vor of giving the business up, but a couple, more plucky th in the others induced the dishearted oiiPS to .-tay, and drilliug operations were once more resumed. The Oil City Derrick of yesterday had tht- following cheerful outlook for Butler county operators. The. lield situation in this district ha:' improved greatly during •he past week, and it now loaks as if Butler county, though disfigured in the part three-months by numeroui dry holes and wells of small caliber, is still to be heard from as an oil producing center The wells to infusa lew life into the blood of the omnipresent propucer are located in widely separated locations. The Mar ion Oil C'o's venture on the Big C'ouno (juenessing considerable distance south and wesi of the Voegt'y farm wells, is the most important. The well has been shot and is now being cleaned out. Every in dications points to a well from 100 to 150 bbls. per day, and opens up quite a space of territory heretofore classed as worthless. The McGill Co's.well on the J, White side farm is another well that was in tht nature of a surprise party to the lucky owners. Two wolis had already !;een drill ed on tho same lease, with indifferent suc cess. and when tho present well was in tho sand one of tho owners was so disgusted with its promises that he sold an one eigh th for SSOO. The well started off at CO bbls per day and gradully came up until it is now making 110 bbls. It has had a rejuvenating effect upon the old Ctoperstown field, and considerable new work ia being rapidly pushed in its vicinity. Another vonture of tho purely wildcat kind is Brown & Co's. well on the Bright farm, near Mt. Chestnut Tho well was drilled through the sand about a week ago and set to pumping natural. It has made 00 bbls, already and is holding qjite steady at 10 bbls per day. The well shows up good enough to induce ono to experiment still lurtber.

Thure aro many biscuits munufac tured nowadays, but perhaps the moßt curious to look upon, as it is most delicious of its kind to taste, is tbe Cheese Wafer made at tbe Mar vin Bakery in Pittsburg I'a , of which Mr. 8. H. Maryiu is Manager. The Wafer is round and yellow, and has advantage over many Cheese Wafers in that tbe checoue is spread to "stay put"' and will uot be contin ually crumbling and tumbling off, leaving the water a delusion and a snare to those who long for cheese. The Wafers are made of the finest material, and tho cheese is spread by hand. A most delicious lunch at any hour of the day, but perhapß most fascinating just be fore retiring, consists of half a dozen 01 those delicate wafers washed down with whatever is one's favorite "night-cap."—"The Hotel."

PARK THEATRE. TH« AMERICAN GIRL, PARK TIIEASRK, FRIDAY JAN. 21th. "The American Girl," was the title ot the play produced last eveniug at the Queen's. It is a now play, written by a dramatist well known to the theatre g ing public. Mr. H. Grattan Donnelly, author of ".Natural Gas,'' "Litter On,'' "Ship Ahoy,'" and "A Night at a Circis." "Tne American Girl," is materially different from anything that Mr. Donnelly ha hitherto written, and yet it reminds us ol his whimsical style so pronrnent in "Xat ural Gas." It is of a deeper and more pathetic nature than any of his previous production J. and which we, as a Eriti-h populace, may object to, we must confess that Mr Donnelly has told in an earnest manner a story which is interesting from its vivid presentation of the supposed con Mitueuts of the American character as a nation—independence and cheek. The £r.->t characteristic is given to us iti the "American Girl." in the person of the heroine; tne second grand characteristic, Cheek, is introduced in the person of a theatrical manager, who is a hustler, as ho describes it, I'romthe start. The company is strong and well balanced and gave a finished performance of a most interesting play. TUNEFUL "MASCOT,''PARK THEATRE MON DAY, JAN. 27. The Gilbert Opera Company appeared at the opera house last night to the cap acity of the house. A more highly pleas ed audience never left a theatre than filed out l&«t night after listening to the fami liar (trains ol "Mascot" by this most ex cellent company, Georgie Tompkins the prima donna, appeared to advantage as Betfina the U» cot. ShaJ is a beautiful woman, lier stage presence is excellent, and her rich soprano voice filled the audi torium with melody. Bert St. John, as "Rocco" the farmer, kept the houso howl ing. He is a true comedian; he does his work naturally, and his topical songs made an instantaneous hit. A bright future awaits the young comedian. Hal Stephens as Prince Lorenzo, is a comedian of the first type. Ho was excrutiaticgly funny, and his impersonations wero excellent. St. John and Stephens make a great team, aud are up to date in their work. E. J. Lowell, as Pippo, the Shepherd, came in for a good share of honor, th'j Gobble Gobble duet with Bettina receiving two encores. The part of the prinoess was charmingly sung by Efie Chamberlain Minor parts were well sustained, and the chorus was excellent. Al! in all the Gil bert Comic Opera Company is the best ever olfered onr theatre goers. JOHNSON SMILKY, JAN. 28th.
