State Prison " Reforms

One Of the things the present Re-
form administration promised to reform
was State Prison management. T.is
is abcut the way they have succeeded:
In order to make it a pear that there
was deficiency in the finances, as left
by the Republican commissioner, an
inventory of lumber and other material
was taken at about Is per cent. below
| the actual cost of such articles. Then
the administration last winter, demandx
ed as necessary contingent S45 600
just $50 900 more than Mr. Wheel
er had estimated as needed the year
before, under Republican rule. And
this, too, In the face of the pretensions
that the State Prison should be made
self-supporting when the Reformers
took charge of affairs. Under Repub-
lican management all the prison shops
and all improvements of permanent
character were paid for, and large
and valuable stock Of lumber was pur-
chased from time to time What ina
provements the Reformers have made
can be representen by cipher. To
cover up their mismanagement and
NAL aladminissration, they have entered
into discussion regarding the practi-
cabllity of removing the prisod to La
Crosse, or some other point more ac-
cessible to railway and water communi-
cation. Several of the reform papers
are favoring the project. Something
must be done to cover up their inefic-
iency. Now. it would cost the tax-
payers CT this state, at the lowest esti-
mate, two millions of dollars to remove
the State Prison to any of the points
suggested. This is purely style of
Reform peculiar to the Democratic
party, and is of piece with many
other things that one year and half
of bogus Reform has developed. Mon

Oil Excitement.

TITUsvULE, Pa, August 3D.
Great excitement is manifested among
producers and another interested la
the petroleum business, in regard to
the discovery of oil in Bradford and
Mexican counties. In the latter re-
gion, there are now six producing
wells. One on the Hinckley farm.
owned by the Foster Oil Company;
five wells on the Buchanan farm, and
one we'll each on the Crooks and Ken
nedy farms. The entire amount of
production of the wells is l4O barrels
per day. The Olmsted we'll on Crooks
farm, gives 100 barrels daily. On
the Hickey farm. company has drll-
led a we'll 1000 feet deep, hoping to
find fourth sand, but so far have
been unsuccessful. Further expert
ments, however, may result in some
thing more satisfactory to the pro-
spectors.
The bubble excitement in Bradford
county is attracting much attention to
that region. and it is not improbable
that scenes similar to those witnessed
here in the early days Of petroleum
production will be repeated there

duct has been discovered is near Lime

ANOTHER LIVING MAN WITH "A
HOLE THROUGH HIS -Mosps
Ballerstein, of Hartford, was accident
ally shot through the head on March
26. The ball entered at about ths
center of the forehead, aud it's efftSt
was to render him UNCONSCIOUS for
about half an hour, after which, not
knowing the extent Of his injuries, he
walked unassisted to house, a mile dis
tant. A doctor probed the wound to
the depth of a little over two inches,
but could not reach the ball, which
had evidently lodged in the back Of
the skull. He was put to bed and
kept perfectly quiet, with hardly any
thing to eat until the tenth day, when
some matter came out of the wound,
afording relief, and restoring partially
the power of speech, which he had
lost soon after the accident. Twenty
one days after being shot he had re-
lapse, but was brought out of it by
the use Of stimulants, after which he
recovered rapidly, and he is now ap-
parently as we'll as ever. No medir
cine was given in this case, careful
dieting and keeping the wound open
constituting all the treatment.

OF the Grand Jury: You have
been chosen, selected, empan-
Fnelled and sworn, as the Grand
Inquest in and for the body of
the parish Of Bossier.
Your duties are contained
mainly in the oath which your
Foreman has taken on his
part and yon and each of you
sworn to observe and keep on
your part. I could not, there
fore, better instruct you in the
duties which devolve upon you,
than oy calling your especial
attention to said oath. He has
sworn diligently to inquire
and true presentment make Of

all such matters and things as
shall come to his knowledge,
touching the present service
the counsel of the State and his
fellows he will keep secret
he will present no one from en-
Ivy, hatred or malice nor will
he leave any one unpresented
from fear, favor, affection, re-
ward orthe hope thereof but
that he will present all
things truly as they shall
come to his knowledge 50
help him God. This oath prop
erly understood, contains the
essence of your entire duty as
Grand Jurors. You have sworn
thatyou will diligently inquire
aud true presentment make of
all such matters and things as
may come to your knowledge
touching the present service.
II you shall thus inquire and
present, there will be but few,
If any crimes or offences, that
may have been committed in
your parish, but that will come
before the Court for trial, and
thereby, all offenders against
the law, brought to justice.
You have also, sworn to keep
secret, the counsel Of the State
and your fellows. This is Of
the highest Importance, for
otherwise, were the proceed
[ings Of your body made pub
llic, offenders might and would
escape, while bills were being
found and presented, against
them. Again, timid men could
not be induced to present des-
peradoes-if it could be known
| by such desperadoes, who was
moving in such indictments.
Then, again, I say, that indie
pendent Of your solemn oaths,
| to keep these matters a pro-
fonnn secret, thatit is Of the
highest Importance to the pub
lie service, that the most pro-
found secrecy be observed in
relation to what transpires
while in the jury room. And
/ urge you, that should you
! discover any one Of your num-
Der, who violltes this part of
his oath, that you indict such
. party and make an example
Of such a perjured wretch.
Gentlemen--the high and re-
sponsible duties, which you
are now called upon TO per-
form, are such as the wisest
and best citizen has been call
ed upon to perform at al. times

BOWing to Tammany.

On their own dung hill the Ohio in
fationists are bold and defiant set,
but when they come into the pres
ence of Tammany they are as mild
as lambs. The election of Speaker
has taken the starch out of them, and
now, says the Washington cores
pondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, ''they are beginning to acklowl-
edge their mistake. They were a
week ago, still confident, or professed
to be, that their theory would event
ually win, but to-day a number of
the more prominent of their faction
have frankly admitted that they
have been advocating an error which
will have to be abandoned"
Still, notwithstanding these con-
fessions, and notwithstanding the fur
ther fact that our Ohio inflaGionists
did vote for hard-money Speaker, it
will not surprise us, when they get
home, and have placed themselves
before the people for reelection, to
hear of them going about over their
Districts bowling for "more money!
More astonishing things than that
have occurred, in the history of Ohio
Democrats.
