An INQUEST ON ABEL.


Yesterday afternoon an excited indi-
vidual, with his hat standing on two
hairs and his eyes projecting from his
head like the horns of a snail, rushed in
to the Office Of Coroner Holmes. The
Coroner is by profession a dentist, and
his first thought as he glanced at the man
was that he was wel-nigh distracted with
toothach. lie was soon undeceived,
however, as the frenzied individual cried
out, as soon as be could catch his breath
after running up the stairs: Been a
man murdered
A man murdered? cried the Coroner; !;
how? where?
In garden, believe; with a club or
a rock.
How long ago? cried the Coroner, seiz-
ing his hat and cane.
Been done good while, and no police
nor constables hasn't never done nothing
about it. Never been 10 Coroner set on
the body, nor nothing OF the kind; no
verdick--
What's the dead mans name? Who
was he? cried the Coroner
His name was Abel.
Abel? Abel who?
Don't know. Never heard nothing but
his first name.
Well, what is the name of the man who
killed him? DO they know? Any one
suspected
Well, I've heard that a fellow named
Cain put ont his light. Cain was the
brother of Abel, and.
Coroner smells a mice and, nourishing
his cane, cries, You get down them stairs
my fine fellow. Git, aud don't you show
yourself here againl With loud guilaw
the fellow went down the stairs three
steps at time, the doctor calling out
after him, How dare you triflc with an

now THEY FINALLY GoT MARRIED.

One long summer afternoon there came
to Mr.. Davidson's the most curious spec
linen Of an old bachelor the world ever
heard of. lie was old, gray, wrinkled
and odd. He hated old women, espcci-
ally old maids, aud wasn't afraid to say
so. lie and Aunt Patty had II hot when
ever chance drew them together; yet
still he came, and il was noticed that
Aunt Patty took unusual pains with her
dress whenever he was expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty left in disgust
aud went out into the garden.
That bear she muttered to herself "a

tracted her attention.

a WONDERFUL uIL Will

The Ttusvjllo Ponu.l Herald OF July

that has just been opened;
The road leading TO the Parker we'll
from rctroHa Is 10 moderately good con.
diuou, and soon after leaving Central
Point the travellers observe tho words mo
smoking permitted here ia conspicuous
places. After about two and a half miles
ride tho top Of a hiu Is reached. where a
loud, roaring noise is distinctly heard,
and eighty rods further on brings us In
sight of The well. A dense fog of mist
envelopes the derrick, engine house aud
tanks, while fully one thousand persons
are there gazing on the wonder Of Arm
strong county. The derrick has conspio-
uousIy placed upon it IN large lcttofs,
Boss Wen, and Crcswoll City. There
are two Zj0-barrcl tanks fulEof oil; also
two l,2o0-barrel tanks, one Of which Is

cuitous route to the Allegheny River, Is
covered with oil. There are two two.
inch pipes connected with the we'll, one
Of which is shut completely of, and out
Of the other flows steady stream OF oil
with immense force. There is no per
ccptible iutermission IN the flow, and AS
it gushes into one Of the twelve hundred
barrel tanks, the foam aud spray envelop
the whole surrounding atmosphere IN n
dense mist.
a trustworthy gauger informed us that
he had gauged the we'll three times since
the stream was turned into the l,20o.bar.
rel tank, and he found it doing ,750 bar
reIs, aud he estimated the leakage to be
at least fifty barrels per day. lie further
stated that in his opinion the well started
off out OF the two two.inch pipes at the
rate of 800 barrels per day. lie also
claimed that although this was almost in.
credible, he believed that if the full stream
was turned on now il would do at least
/ 1000 barrels.
| The well is claimed TO be the largest
ever struck in the lower region. A far.

that the new system will be speedily put

forced to erect G0.oo0 miles Of wire du-
ring the las, three years, aud Of course at
an immense expense. An indefinite lu-

The Latest advancement in Telegraphy
is an invention by which four messages
can be simultaneously sent on a single
wire in opposite directions, and with no
more liability to mistake than as If an
equal number OF wires were used. The
process was successfully tested on alinc
by the Western Union company, few
days since, aud President Orton exclaims
Eureka and declares the discovery to
be the solution Of an difficulties Ia the
future OF telegraphic science. 1t needs
only 10 be said OF 1t, 10 recommend It to
the least scientific, that in one instant it
will quadruple the usefulness Of the 49,.
900 miles Of wire owned by the Western
Union telegraph company. 1t is aew
process OF multiple transmission By which
two messages eau be sent simultaneously y
in the same direction over the same wire,
and either message can be dropped al
any way station on the circuit. Nor is
this all. The old duplex system eau be
applied to the new invention, aud by thc
combination four messages can be .eHg
simultaneously over the same wire ia op.
posite directions between any two ierlni-
nal points. And not the least recon-
