Anew Well in Ola territory

OIL CITY, September 1.-Wolf q
Kugler, of this city, today struck a
we'll on the Sayres farm, about six or
seven miles from this city, which
eclipses anything of the kind in this
vicinity for years. 1t is near the little
town OF Salina. At o'clock this morn.
ing the we'll made a flow over the top
of the derrick and in twelve hours filled
a two hundred barrel tank, while con-
siderable oil was wasted, owing to a
crack in the casing head. The we'll
flows every fifteen minutes and lasts
five minutes. The actual gauge show.
ed that during four hours the well
flowed one hundred and five barrels.
Last Saturday the same firm struck
a dry hole within two hundred feet of
the present gusher. This field was open
ed two months ago by johnson & Co.,
Of Bradford, who got five hundred
barrel we'll. They sold to Dale Broth
ers, who drilled another well, which is
doing seventy five barrels. The next
we'll was the Wolfe & Kugler dry hole.
This gusher is the last, pat Mack q
Williams have we'll ready to open in

St. Jo-Other Talk About the Railroads.
NEW YORK, March 3-Wall street reports
state that it was reported last evening that an
alliance had been formed which removes the
cause of some of the late bear attacks. There
is said to have been long struggle between a
powerful short interest and two or three bull
cliques, which has at last resulted in COM
promise and probability of united effort on
the bull side of the market.
1t is officially stated that the difficulties be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and the Memphis and Charleston
companies have been amicably adjusted, an
agreement of consolidation having been execut-
ed yesterday.

the Florida Road will be completed and equip
ment increased.

and that lively fluctuations in the present stock
are to be expected.

would secure a very large amount of business
by virtue of its being the only connection be-
tween the Atlantic and Great Western and the
New York Central.
Negotiations for the control of the New York,
Chicago and st. Louis Road by the Erie Com
pany are said to be progressing favorably.
1t is reported that the Presidency of the Ohio
