A verItable OIL Region in Germany.

Our Pennsylvania friends were disposed

Two of these belts have up to the present

produces 90 barrels every twcnty-four

AUSTIN, November l0.-The New York
* Texas Land Trust company filed char
ter to-day. The object of the company is
to promote the full purchase and settle.
ment of land in Taxas and other states.
The principal Office is at Austin, and the
capital stock $4,000. The incorporation
includes John Hancock, of Austin, and Rich
ard Hubbard, of Tyler.
Before the jury ofinquest to-day over the
fire the government heads of departments
and several others were examined. The
evidence showed conclusively that the fire
origin ated in the book room, being from a
stoyepipe in the east room of the attorney
general 5 office. Years ago an aperture in
the wall between this room and the book
room was cut for the stovepipe to run
through to an opening in tlue on the
opposite wall of tho book room.
In 1875, the better TO pre-
serve the books and records, the book
room was .ceiled, closingup the aperture for
the stove pipe, the ceiling being about two
inches from the wall. None of the force in
the attorney-general's $ office knew anything
about this, and the supposition is that there
was flaw in the wall separating the az
torney- generals Office from the
book room. Recently Mr.. Edmun-
son, assistant clerk, asked and
obtained leave of the attorney general to
put up a stove in the extreme corner, where
he had his desk. The stove was set up sew.

directly to chimney. The weather turned

fire lighted in the stove about AN
hour and forty minutes before the fire was
discovered. This is the salient point in the
testimony given today. The examination
will be resumed tomorrow.

How CnnkIino Sulked-

Tt pleaseS the organs to continually
represent Mr.. Conkling as "sulking in
his tent" instead of declaring himself
for General Garfield last summer. Now
mark how plain a tale shall put them
down. On the 8th day of June, 1880,
James A. Garfield was nominated for the
Presidency on the thirty-sixth ballot
Immediately upon the declaration of this
result the following proceedings occurred,
as appears by the official report of the
convention on page 276:
The President-Jamcs A. Garfield, of Ohio, is
nominated for President of the United States. Shall
the nomination be made unanimous?
Mr.. Conkling, of New York-Mr President
James A. Garfield, of Ohio having received ma
jority of all the votes cast rose to move that he
be unanimously presented as the nominee of the
convention. The chair, under the rule anticipates
my motion; but being on my feet, I avail myself
Of :he opportunity to congratulate the Republican
party of the United States upon the good nature
and the well ll-tempered rivalry which has dis
tinguished this animated contest. thrust the ZEAL
the fervor, and now the unanimity seen in this
great assembage will be transplanted to the field
Of the final conflict and that all of us lch0 hare
borne part against each other qC be found Oith equal
zeal bearing the bGIRer-lgHh equal zeal carrying the
Eulce Of the Republican party into the ranks Of the
enemy.
Thus it will be seen that, to an audience
of fifteen thousand people, and in the
presence of the correspondents of all the
press of the United States, Mr.. Conkling
pledged himself and urged his friends
forward to the support of General Gar
field. 1t may be here remarked that
