ALIENS barn was burned at Sono
ra, O., and it was believed that Min
mich and Willis kindled the fire.
Allen and some of his friends dug a
grave, carried the suspected men to it.,
made them kneel at the side of the
hole, held guns to their heads, and
commanded them to confess. How
ever, this treatment did not extort a
confession, and Allen was subsequently
fined 500 for outrage. A few Dayton
boys, having heard Of the Sonora
affair, took even more cruel measures
to make a playfellow confess some
trifiing offence. They held his bare
feet close to flame until the soles were
badly burned.

The Oil Arrives.
From the Williameport a.


ford district to Williamsport. AS be-
fore stated in these columns, the
pumps of the Tidewater pump com
pany began pumping oil into their
line on Wednesday of last week.
Thursday evening, at 7:l0 and few
seconds, the first oil came out of the
pipes Mt this end of the line, and
flowed into the receiving tank on
Thomas hill. The time required for
it to traverse the hundred miles of
pipe was little longer than had been
counted upon, but taking everything
into consideration, there was no cause
for dissatisfaction over the result. The
number present to see the first oil
arrive was not as great as would nat
uraily have been expected, although
the uncertainty as to the precise time
when it would appear may partly ac-
count for this. Those present includ-
ing officers and employees of the COM
pany at this end of the line, producers
and others. Intense excitement eX-
listed among those near tile tank, when
the first oil gushed out of the six inch
pipe and into the tank. Many bottles
were filed from the first oil secured.
One of these bottles were left at the
GAZETTE AND BULLETIN office yester-
day evening by Mr.. H. f. Northrup.
Numerous dispatches were sent away
last night, to the oil region and else
where. announcing that the oil had
reached Williamsport.
The oil came out of the pipe in strong
volume, and has been coming right
along at the rate of two hundred and
fifty barrels per hour. Those who
would not put any faith in the pipe
line until oil should begin flowing into
Williamsport, are now converted, and
are ready to rejoice with the rest. The
tanks will fill up, of course, at the rate
of 5000 barrels per day, but as ship
ping to the seaboard will commence
by Saturday-a large number of cars
being now in the city ready to load
the stock in the tanks will be thus
kept down. The tankage capacity
as is already known, is about 10000
barrels. At pump station No. there is
tankage. for 2,4O0 barrels, while Cory
vile, the starting point of the line, the
tankage is sufficient for 81 100 barrels.
The line is working admirable 1t
is matter of surprise to everyone,
when the size Of the pipe and the dis
tance are considered, that so little in
the way of defects has been found.
The work of putting down the pipe
has been very thoroughly done, the
great pressure to which the line is
subjected not appearing to affect it in
the least. The pressure varies at diff
ferent points along the line. The
greatest, when pumping is in progress,
is at Pine creek near Waterville. AT
this point the oil falls distance of l.,
500 feet, and then rises a distance of
l 100 feet. When the pumps are still
the greatest pressure is at the Will
Transport end of the line. The lowest
point on the route is at Lycoming
creek, less than three miles from the
terminus.
1t is now announced upon pretty
good authority, that the total expense
of the enterprise has been at least
$500 There are other miscellan-
eous amounts not included in this
sum. The expenses, at the seaboard
end of the line, i'm fitting up the re-
ceiving and shipping grounds, We're at
least $4,000.

wood, was spopped a few miles north
of Cheyenne river on Tuesday at mid.
night by five masked robbers. The
passengers, four in number, were
robbed of their money and valuables
and the mail sacks were cut open and
their contents thrown on the road, the
robbers taking the registered packages.
Having made successful cleanup,
the robbers allowed the coach to pro-

There is a story that a wealthy
Chicago MERCHANT lately prevented the
breaking Of his will by calling his rela-
tives about his death-bed and getting
them to make affidavit before a notary
that he was competent to make will.
After the funeral it was found that all
the property was given to lunatic
asylum. Then the heirs tried to have
the will set aside by showing that
though sane at the last, in 1875 when
the will was made he was raving mad.
Thereupon the executor produced a
will exactly like the first, except that
it was signed and witnessed few
minutes before the affidavits as to the
testator's sanity was taken.

Norman Spencer stole ST., 800 from
the Pennsylvania Oil Company, that
employed him as book keeper, and fled
} to the Southwest. The robbery was
carefully planned, and the thief's in
tention was to take new name, settle
down as planter, and marry the I'll
tusville girl to whom he had long been
engaged. She knew all about this
scheme, and was to join him as soon
as practicable. A detective was set to
watch her, and when she started west
ward, after receiving mysterious let
ter. he guessed she meant to join her
lover. He shadowed her oil the Jour
ney so closely that she became aware
of his watching. At Quincy, ILL.,, she
hired woman Of about her own size
and shape to put on her travelling suit,
cover her face with veil, and 60 to
Chicago. The detective unsuspect-
ingly followed the wrong woman,
while the real one went on to meet the
fugitive thief. Meanwhile Spencer
had bought plantation near Calves
ton, Texas, an fallen in love with
a neighbours beautiful daughter. De-
string to marry her, he wrote to the
Titusville girl at point on her jour-
ney that she need not come to him.
The Titusville girl was as quick at
revenge as she had been at deceiving
the detective. She at once informed
the police where Spencer was, and he
has been arrested.

MIR. Charles Foster, Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio, in a
Speech at Columbus, o., recently, thus
defined his position OH the currency:
"On the question of finance the Re-
publican party occupies high ground.
1t has stood from the beginning for ma
tional honor, for national faith, and
for national credit. Itstands there to-
day. During the dark days of our
bloody Rebellion, when the life of the
nation was imperilled, we had to use
the credit of this nation to save its life.
We pledged ourselves then that when
the war was over we would redeem
the greenhacks. For fifteen long
years we have been struggling to re-
deem that pledge. We have had to
fight for the fulfillment of this pledge
against the force of the Democratic
party North and South. And thank God
to-day through the courage Of an Ohio
man and the faithfulness of the Re-
publican party that pledgeis redeemed,
and the greenback dollar is worth a
hundred cents in every pocket of the
country. The ploughhOlder and the
bondholder have a currency of equal
value. Now, fellow citizens, we Re-
publicans propose to stand there; We
propose to maintain this national
credit against all opposers, whether
they be Ewing men or Greenbackers,
or what not. We propose to stand by
the national faith and the national
honor"

Collector Beard of Boston, in an
address at the dinner of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company in
that city, said:
"There is no danger of the one man
power in our national government,
limited as it is by the Constitution.
The prophecy of the man on horse
back, foretold not long ago and recently
rehearsed in an grafton i'm honor of the
prophet, will not be fulfilled in our
day nor in our children's day. The
tendency is for the legislative to en-
croach on the executive in all govern
ments, and it takes tirmness for state
or national executive to maintain the
Just rights of his office. The people
like the man who, like Jackson, takes
the responsibility and conscientious
judicious and firm exercise of the veto
power in the interest of the people will
be sustained by the people. Nor have
we any danger from the Capitalization
of power in the national government.
The limits of the Constitution, the
compact organization of the state gov
ernme nts, component elements of
Congress itself, the vast extent of ter
ritory, all preclude the danger of an
undue exercise of power by the ma
tional government as against the
states. The danger is far greater that
individual rights will suffer within the
states because of the weakness of the
national government than that the
rights of states will be encroached
upon.n

Concerning Thieves.

A portion Of the State press objected
to the proposed pardon Of Oardoza, but
it is no longer of any consequence. He
has been convicted by jury of s own
color, in part, at least. That conviction
has been sustained BY the Supreme
Court of the State. He has been re-
lieved of much of his i'll gotten gains,
and he is negro. As to him, we are
Indifferent; but Of all the crew who are.
aaoat, Kimpton and Patterson are the
real criminals who are especially in
need of striped clothes and Col, Lips

Ridge Railroads through the State and

Masters in the art, they even taught
"Frank Moses" how to steal. They
made Judges and controlled Legislation.
They stiaed justice and corrupted all
law in it's very creation They created
the storm and ruled the crew. To THIN,
then then there ought never to beanJ let
up, whilst reason and honor rule the
commonwealth. No true citizen will
ever say so, and no official dare d. it.
To-day one is shielded by the sham less
treachery of Governor who has linked
his name with iniamy, and the ether
under tho egis Of Senatorial privileges
by a corrupt and besotted Judge. These
things cannot always be-. Let every
Governor of Massachusetts be put upon
record Until one be found who regards
his oath and will discharge his duty.
The end Of Patterson's term is near at
hand, and then his Senatorial robes, nor

the wires of the c"centennial telegraph"
flash the news that they are in their
