Notes on Current Events.


Mrs. Margaret Seguin, wife of DR..
Edward c. Seguin prominent physi-
clan of New York, killed her three
children last Thursday and then com
mitted suicide. She took the children
to a room on the top floor of her house,
locked the door, blindfolded the chill
dren-two boys and one girl-and tied
their hands behind their backs, and
then shot them. The oldest child was
less than six years Of age. No cause
is known for the crime except that Mrs.
Segjiin had become temporarily insane.
She had been despondent and melan-
choly for some time, but it was not
suspected that she would become insane.
And now comes another astronomer
with new theory of the comet. 1t
graZed the earth on the 10Th of April
while on it's way toward the sun, and
produced the great electrical disturbance
and extraordinary aaporai display Of
that night Several persons saw n
comet on that occasion, though most
people didn't The comet was thrown
Off tho track by the collision and went
plunging wildly towards the sun, whore
it received another shock, was badly
shattered and its subsequent movements
became erratic. The comet seen close
to the sun during the eclipse of May
17th was the present one at the period
of its close brush and bad shaking up
by the solar influence If there are
difficulties in the way of this theory
being accepted we leave its author to
smooth them away-we shall not at
tempt it.
The director of the mint shows the
amount Of money in the country on
June 80, last, to have been s. ,54I, 000,-
600 This is an enormous circulation
Of money. In round numbers at the
close Of 1878, the amount Of paper cir
culation, national bank and government,
was not over $3.50 900. 900. The banks
had ahopt $4,000, 900 in gold coin in
1877 The total gold coin in the banks
and treasury at that date was not much
over 100000 600 This would make
our total circulation at the period of
resumption about $3.50, 0O0, 900. The
mint director puts it as high as 81 165,-
900 900. Thus at the present time we
have an excess Of $7l 600 900 Of cir
culation over that the country carried
in 1877 Is or, taking the figures of
the director OF the mint, an excess of
about $l00,000,000 But as n great
part Of the coin in the country in 1873
was boarded, it is saio TO say that tho
amount Of circulation at the present
time is fully 500, 100000 over 1878.
Here is an initiation Of money unpar-
alIelcd in the history Of the country,
except during two years Of the war
1866 and l8G7-when it took 81 20 in
paper to buy 81 in gold.

GREET OIL SYNDICATE.
One Of the Mast Gigantic Buli
MOVSui On Record.

TrUsVILLE. Oct 3l.-One of the
greatest bullish syndicates ever or
ganized and known to the oil trade
will be consummated tomorrow, Nov.
lst, by the parties concerned signing
the necessary documents, The scheme
is to enroll all the leading producers
in the oil country to discontinue the
drill for six months from date to May
|, 1888. Among the largest produ-
GERS who are forwarding this scheme
to completion are Mckinney Il Co,
Union Oil Company, Tidewater Pipe
Com pany, John j. Garter, IL. b.
Porter and others. All the parties
concerned are determined men and
will carry the scheme into successful
execution.
OIL OPERATIONS FOR OCTOBER.
The report of oil operations for
October is ready and is fully as bull
ish as anticipated by the trade. 1t
shows that at the close Of the month
there were in the entire field l2S rigs
up and building, against 176 the
month previous, and l69 wells drill
ing against l25 in September The in
crease in the drilling wells is un-
doubtedly due to the better prices
| for petroleum causing partial resump-
ton of operations. The number of
wells completed during October was
l16, with production Of 1862 barrels
per day against 40 wells and 1919
barrels production in September, the
falling off being in great part caused
by the sudden collapse Of Cherry Grove,
| though there is undoubtedly gradual
decrease in ell the old fields. The fact
that twenty dry holes have been found
indicates that the wildcat operator has
| been seeking new fields or testing the
outer edges of the defined territory.
But eighteen wells were completed in
the Bradford field, with a production Of
3I9 barrels, an Increase Of four wells
and decrease Of sixteen barrels pro-
duction.
Allegheny comes to the front with
an increase of sixteen wells and lS3
barrels production as compared with
S September, and is the only field show
ing al increase in both wells and pro-
duction. Although considerable activ-
ity has been displayed in Baldridge,
Butler county, and Cranberry, Venan-
go comfy, the daily output has only
been increased 225 barrels, against
298 in September. Cherry Grove
completed thirty-nine wells, most of
which were drilling in September, and
only added 5l5 barrels against the
yield of the previous month of 1896
barrels There are thirty-one wells
drilling in that field, many of which
are not expected to pay the cost of
| putting down., Both Bradford and
Allegheny are pretty thoroughly
drilled, and little will be done in the
immediate future in those sections at

M. Raoul Rochelle, the plain where
Babylon was is covered over an extent
of eighteen leagues with rubbish, hill
locks partly leveled, choked-up aque-
ducts, and channels. These wrecks
are mixed mp to such degree that it
is often impossible to recognize with
any certainty the site or the limits Of
the most considerable edificcs. The
abomination Of desolation reigus in
all it's hideousnesness. Not a dwell
ing, patch Of cultivated ground, or a
tree in leaf is visible. It's abandon
ment by mankind and by nature il
complete. The cavelns formed by the
falling iii Of ancient buildings are now
the habitations Of jackals and snakes.
Jeremiah's prophecies have been full
filed M. Oppert believes that he

inclosed walls which Greek antiqni-
| ty included among its wondcrs) in a
series Of tnmuli, called by the Arabs
the yellow hills and the hill Of cats.
These immense walls, forming an ex-
act square, we're double. The outer
wall embraced territory as large as
the Department of the Seine; within
the second and smaller Enclosure the
whole of London town would have ell
bow-room, as attested by Nebuchad-
nezzer's invaluable inscription, Of
which NJ. Oppert has given transla
ton. These walls inclose space
large enough to supply food to a be
sieged population. Aristotle some
where compares the size of Babylon t
the Peloponnesus. 1t is not city, b,
says, but rather province. Wher
lIerodotus visited the country, thu
walls of Babylon still existed in part
