Secretary Hunt finds that the personnel

Its just little oft color" so TO speak, in the

Secretary some Moore material OF that class. as wit

A more recent cause of scandal is the
appointment Of another son of Secretary Hunt to
the position of assistant paymaster in the navy,
The appointment is made over the heads of large
number of applicants who had previously passed
successfully the requisite examination. If the
navy is to be turned into a sort of private per-
quislte for any third rate politician who manages
TO clap covetous claws upon the secretary
ship, the sooner 1t Is withdrawn from rep
resentation in the Cabinet and managed by
n board of officers the better for the country
and the service. Mr.. Hunt may as well learn from
due press Of the country at that he is not the
owner in fee simple Of the navy and the arbiter OF
the destiny ofits oflcers-Propidence Press

New YORK, Sept. IL, $50 q. mat the uptown
clubs and hotels last night the feeling was very
much mixed, and the opinion of the traders and
brokers' were more than usual at variance regard
ing the immediate course of the market, The un'
favorable character of the private dispatches from
the Branch received during the evening regarding
the condition Of the President created some mp
prehension and alarm. The bulls nevertheless
believed there were many outside indications ola
better market next week. and some Of the promi-
nent leaders on this side of the account claimed
to have positive information that Secretary Win
dom's bond purchasing announcement would
BIO published OH Monday morning. The
Sage Gould following claimed there was an i'm.
mense rise in short interest, which would speedily
form the basis for higher prices, and said that no
further immediate stringency IN money was prob
able, because the bank statements for some time TO
come now would unqucstionably show large gains
in the legal reserves. Gould dnd Sages friends
say that they bought largely OF Western Union

southeast from Haehn's, was
yesterday the scene of active oper-
ations. Three producing wells
were put down. The rest
were "dusters." Captain Picker
ing went to "wildcatingU under
shed near the Buffalo, Pittsburg
and Warren Railroad track, south
of Haehn's. He dug to depth of
eight feet, and got we'll good for
ten barrels a day. Two wells were
put down on the ground of the Oc-
tave refinery. The MeKeown gar
den, east of the refinery, was leased
by ]. p. Thomas, VIM. Mckenzie,
and j. NJ. Brinton. Thomas took
the northern half of the garden.
He got two five barrel wells OF ex-
cellent green oil. The other parties
struck oil, but it was of a red hue,
and had the appearance of being
mixed with tar. In the gardens
along the east side of Washington
street several wells came in as
good producers, but the oil was of
an inferior quality. All the prop.
erty along Oil Creek, between
Washington and Franklin streets,
has been leased by A. J. Kraffert. |
He will develop it on large scale.
The original Haehn territory |
maintains Its yield and is being |
further developed. Haehn has
made n trench all around his gar
den and one through the center. |
Into these the oil collects rapidly. |
The operator is putting up tanks to
receive his oil, as there is a great
scarcity in barrels. Haehn's gar.
den is now yielding 100 barrels
day. He expects to increase it to |

cries $1.10 a barrel. The price of
one barrel defrays all the expense
Of putting down well. Operations
are carried on day and night. That
part of the city is lighted up all
night by the flaming torches of the
oil men. The weird scene is wit.
messed nightly by hundreds of peo-
pie. There are no indications of |
any decline in the yield of this oil,
and Haehn, the lucky discoverer of |
the field, Is laying away not less
than 500 day as clear profit.
There are many theories in re-
gard to this unheard- of presence of |
petroleum in large quantities 80
near the surface. One is that the |
oil is the leakage of tanks and pipe |
lines, which has sunk into the !
earth until 1t reached the graveIly
deposit in which 1t is now found in
pools. Another is that this deposit |
has been forced up from the true
petroleum sand stratum by some
unknown agency, and caught and
retained in the stratum where 1t
now lies.

STRIKING OIL IN A GARDEN.
A Discovery that Sent the Prospsctor to Pota-
to Patches.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, July 16.-A
month or so ago Sebastian Haehn,
blacksmith living on Mechanic
street, this city, was spading in his
garden after heavy rain. AS he
turned up the earth he noticed that
little pools of crude petroleum
formed in the cavities made by the
spade. He dug pit four feet
deep. 1t filed up with oil to such
an extent that he dipped up five
barrels full. The oil WAS of excel.
lent quality, and Haehn sold his
five barrels to the Octave oil re-
finery. Week before last Haehn
dug another "well" In his garden.
1t responded with a yield of two
barrels an hour. The we'll attracted
attention. 1t produced eight bar.
rels, and then ceased to flow. The
excitement over the novel oil terri
tory died out soon afterward. On
Monday last the news spread
through the city that Haehn had
opened another well in his garden,
and that it was yielding at the
rate of thirty-six barrels a day.
Hundreds flocked to the scene of
the new oil operations. The well
was located in the southwest cor
ner of Haehn's potato patch. With
q large tin hand pump the owner
WAS taking out of the "hole" two
barrels of oil an hour. His previ-
Gus well had also started again.
From that one Haehn's sons were
taking out oil at the rate of twenty
barrels a day.
Immediately following this strike
of the lucky blacksmith great de-
mand for leases of adj Joining gardens
arose. Such an oil field had never
been heard Of before. Without
capital, and with no tools but a
shovel, an operator could sink q
well and strike the "sand" in half
an hour. The right to dig on four
feet of another mans garden be-
came worth So bonus and one
quarter of the oil. For three days
Mechanic and adjacent streets
have been thronged with excited
spectators OF the new operation in
oil pt oductioh, and parties anxious
to get "piece" of the territory.
On Tuesday night Theodore Ave-
ry, who has coal yard adjoining
Haehn's garden, put down a well.
AT the depth OF four feet he struck
oil. The yield was . barrel an
hour. He has put down four
more wells since. The five wells
were yesterday yielding eight
barrels an hour.
The success Of the Haehn and
Avery ventures led to wido extern
