company composed of twelve citizens have
been boring for oil in this city for several
months past. The first well was a failure.
The second well struck oil last night at a
depth of 1886 feet. Tubing was put in, and
today a pump has been in operation. Al
though the water has not been exhausted,
fifteen or twenty barrels have already been
pumped up, and it is the opinion of expe-
rrienced oil men from Pennsylvania that
this will prove to be at least a forty-barrel
well. The oil is of the best quality, such as
experts call lubricating oil.

A CONVENTION OF CHIEFs.-Police circles
in all large cities have lately been agitating
the question Of organizing something like a
national police system, the necessity for
which has existed long time. The time
is ripe for such q movement, and all that
was required was an initial step. Captain
James McDonough, chief of the st.
Louis force, has lately made personal
efforts to call convention of
heads of departments, for which
purpose he visited Washington, Baltimore
Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati, Bos-
ton, Louisville, Chicago and other cities.
He met with considerable success at every
point, and has so far succeeded as to an
nounce that the meeting will take place In
the latter part of October. Should this
project end in successful formation it will
be dark day for thieves and evil doors.
Had something of this kind been arranged
at the close of the war, many murderer
and fobber would have felt the infiction of
q swift Justice.

THE FIRE LAST NIGHr-The CstStomhouse
Warnted-About half-past nine o'clock last
night dense smoke was noticed issuing from
the LIQUOR store of P. Clancy, No. Is Peters
street, between Customhouse and Crossman
streets. An alarm was quickly sounded,
and the fremen were ON hand almost on the
instant, yet the flames had gained such
Roadway that had the Mississippi river been
turned in it would not have stayed the
flames instantly. Fire was raging from the
floor to the roof of the third story, and it
seemed as if the bricks were really in flames.
As soon as the fire found vent, tongues of
various eolored flames shot out in all direc-
tons, taking an especial delight in leaning
toward the CustOmhouse, and for few
minutes thatibuilding was threatened, get
ting two warnings in one day. Employees
in the upper windows threw buckets of
water on the woodwork around the win
dows, which was necessary, as the danger
was great.
Notwithstanding the firemen were toll
erably well supplied with water, the streams
failed to have any immediate visible effect
The liquors were unquenchable, burning
until entirely consumed. So intense was
the heat that the brick walls in front and
on the Crossman street side tumbled in less
than half an hour after the alarm. For
tunately, no one was injured. After the
crash the fire seemed to be pretty well iii
hand, when the firemen turned their atten-
ton to the adjoining buildings. On the cor
ner is the Draymen's Exchange, but be-
tween that and Clancy's store is vacant
lot, which assisted to save the Exchange.
On the lower side are the stores of John
j. Barr, sugar and syrup merchant, Nos. 20
and -, which escaped material injury.
After the walls fell in the danger was
over, and the place remains mass of
ruins.
This ne;ghborheod is an unfortunate one,
as fire has devastated it three times before.
1t was quite impossible to ascertain the
amount of damage or sum of insurance, Or
how the fire originated, but the loss must be
considerable.
The firemen labored nobly and performed
excellent service, by their efforts prevent
ing great confagration. For a time the
heat was so excessive in the street that the
men, to continue work, were compelled to
construct barricades with hogsheads.
The wells on Canal street at one time did
not give sufficient quantity of water to
supply three steamers.
