BALD RIDGE WELLS AND
PROBA BILE SALE.
Business and Excitement on the Increase
Hereabouts.

Since our last issue the excitemen
and interest in the Bald Ridge develop
ments have been on the increase Oul
town is now in a lively state and il
looks as even letter than any former
business times were about to visit u.s.
The Sheidemantle we'll is still flow.
ing al the rate of from five to six
hundred barrels per day and is visited
daily by many citizens and strangers.
The tools are still in the well and, like
number of other wells on top OF the
sand, are awaiting pipe facilities for
taking care of the OIL Mr. Smick has
another well near the Sheidemantle,
on his (Weber farm) which is about
down.
Simcox & Myers have wells on the
Dodds, Gruver and Kaltenbach farms,
near the sand and for which pipe ar
rangements are being looked after
The Uuion Oil Co.'S well, in which
Mr.. John Satterfeld is interested, on
the William NJ Brown farm, about two
miles south of Sheidemantle, is ex-
pected in soon with good results.
The Phillips Bros. new well on
Dixon farm, is on top of sand and
awaiting pipe line connection.
The Bald Ridge Company, in addi-
tion to their first two wells, and not
connected with any of the above, have
the following wells drilling: two on
the Shorts farm, one in the sand and
the. other under headway one on Weber
farm; one on Mahood farm one on
Reiber, Peirsol and Hoffman farm, and
one we believe on Heckart farm. OF
these, some of them are on or nearing
the sand with all prospects favorable
and with arrangements being made for
pipe conveyance. The property of the
Bald Ridge consists in about nine hun
dred acres, leases, all at the one eight
royalty. 1t is very valuable, and we
sale of the property is
about completed with the Phillips
Bros. for the whole property, and for
the sum of 100000.
Tie bridge at the mouth of Thorn
Greek, on the most direct road to Rem

Case Of Mrs. ELI Donaldson,

There are many reports, stories per
haps, concerning the death of this
young woman who was found hang.
ing by the neck and dead, on the 3rd
of this month, near billiards MILL this
county. One of the most remarkable
reports is that her life was insured.
This, we understand, is an actual fact.
Taken in consideration with the facts
that she was the daughter of very
poor parents, was herself poor, and
her alleged husband and all the circle
of friends in which she and he lived
and moved, being also in quite limited
worldly circumstances, the fact of her
life being insured is very significant
one to say the least The case will
come before the Grand Jury at coming
Sept term and we presume will be duly
investigated.
The following account we tako from
the Mercer Republican of 10th inst:
A BRIDES DEATH.
HER LIFELEss BODY FOUND HANGING IN
TIE WOODS. HER HUSBAND AR
The citizens of IIilliard, Butler coun-
ty, on the s. & A. road, were agitated
during the latter part of last week over
what was supposed to be a suicide.
Thursday afternoon some little girls
out picking blackberries near that
place, discovered the lifcless body of
Mrs. Eli Donaldson, the wife OF q
miner of that place. She was only
twenty-one years of age. Her body
was found hanging from a rail resting
on two young trees. An inquest was
held, at which it was developed that
the unfortunate woman had last been
seen at one o'clock on the previous
afternoon, though her long absence
did not seem to cause any uneasiness
She had been married only about six
weeks, fact which her husband did
not want published. So much my stery
was attached to the case that her hus-
band was arrested early Friday morn
ing on suspicion that he knew more
than he had told about bis wife's sud-
den death. When found she was very
black in the face, her tongue protrud-
ing from her mouth, and the moose of
the rope very loose, indicating that she
had died of strangulation. Her shoes
stood at the base of the tree, her corset
lying near by. Her dress was adjust
ed, however, showing that the deed
was done deliberately. In order to
get her head into the moose it was
necessary for her to climb one of the
trees, walk oat on the rail to where
the rope was attached, and there ad.
just it to her neck There are neigh
bors, again, who say that they saw
the woman as late as o'clock ou the
previous evening, while the husbands
testimony was that she disappeared al
| o'clock.
The general impression In that
neighborhood is that some person as
sisted in the hanging. The rail was
adjusted in the limbs of the two trees
at distance of about ten feet from the
ground. The rope was bed cord
twisted three double, and securely
knotted in a manner that indicated Q
practiced hand. At the throat there
was an ordinary slip knot which tight
ened when weight is suspended
| The drop was four or five feet.

BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.
"Plain Facts is book that every mother
and father should possess, full as it is of sound
and wholesome advice and information that
cannot be had in any other form. The author
stands high in his profession.
MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL
The book has been prepared and published
in the interest of virtue, and is well calculated
to promote this end. Although dealing with
delicate subjects, its style is pure, and its
teachings are strictly moral.
METHODIST RECORDER.
I have carefully examined "Plain Facts
and heartily commend it to all, as dealing
faithfully with very delicate subjects. May
the time come when ministers, parents and
teachers as we'll as physicians, will warn
against foolish and hurtful lusts which destroy
the soul as well as the body. "Plain Facts"
ought to be introduced into every family.
REV. J. III. TEDFORD,
