Bald Ridge and Renfrew.

There are now nine producing
wells in the Bald Ridge oil district
and seven wells drilling, making six.
teen wells in all
OF these about an equal number
are on each side of the Connoque,
Messing creek OF the ones drilling
four are expected in now any day,
and if they are as good as is conf
IDENTIFY expected business will be much
increased
The nine producing wells yield
daily about three hundred barrels of
oil. The operators and owners of
these wells are, the Butler or Bald
Ridge Company, Phillips Bros, For
est Oil Company, Schiedemantle and
Smick.
While the name of Bald Ridge is
given to the new field, and while the
station there on the railroad has the
same name, and also the postoffice just
established, yet the town that has
sprung up continues to bear the name
of Renfrew, after the name of the own
er of the ground upon which it is built
1t has now six stores, well filed with
groceries, -four, feed, notions of various
kinds, tobacco, etc. The grocery of
Mr. John Glass, formerly of Millers-
town, is the oldest and is well supplied
with everything in that line and is DO
ing good business. Mr.. Koonce, the
new postmaster, also has store con-
nected with his office. Mr. Ireland, of
Petrolia, has a branch of his oil tool
works there, necessary thing, and is
kept busy, the firm being known as
Ireland Il Hughes. There is also a
hardware store owned by Mr.. J. E.
Coulter & Sons also a blacksmith
shop, meat shop, barber shop, etc.
Mr. John A. Richey, formerly of this
place and late of Karns City, keeps the
hotel or stopping place near the station,
and has well regulated house, at
which a good meal can be obtained
He is doing fair business and is well
liked as host.
Mr.. Simeon Nixon on the other, or
south side of the creek, still keeps a
house of entertainment which is always
well patronized.
Taking Renfrew city, altogether,
matters and things generally look pros
pering in it and if the wells drilling
turn out anything near as good as is
looked for, it will yet be quite a lively
place. With the ones now producing
good start has been given to the
growth of Renfrew and all appear
ances promise better for it's feature

BY reference to the Court House
Notes it will be seen that one citizen
of the county Las brought suit against
another who, he claims, accused him
of having "sworn his soul to hell' at
the trial of case at the last term of
the Quarter Sessions Court of this
county. And now, we would ask,
how is the truth or falsity of such an
allegation as this going to be deci-
ded by jury Of twelve honest citi-
zens? Where, in all this broad land,
is there man, who can get his eye or
ear close enough to the keyhole of the
Internal regions, to determine whether
or not the soul of yourg Nick has or
has not already been assigned place

The Kelly Suicide.

The New Castle NeICS gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of the suicide of
Thomas l. Kelly, of Slipperyrock twp
Lawrence county, on the 18th ult:
"After examining several witnesses,
among whom were the wife and two
children of the deceased, the jurv rem
dered the following verdict:
eve, the jury on the coroner's in
quest held on the body of Thomas L.
Kelly, find, after hearing the evidence,
that be came to his death by a pistol
shot discharged by his own hand, while
in d state of mental depression"
The deceased was about tbirty-five
years old, a man of very good standing
in the community in which he lived
and has only been married to his pres
ent wife about three months, having
had three children by his first wife.
Mr.. Kelly was one of the last men in
the neighborhood who would have
been expected to take his own life, but
the testimony at the inquest developed
the following:
About half past six o'clock this morn
ing, 18th ult, Mr. Kelly said to his
wife that it was morning and that he
would get up. He left the bedroom,
passing through the kitchen into the
front room, where he stirred up the fire
in the CRATE. This was the last Mrs.
Kelly heard of him (having fallen
asleep until she heard him falling;
but supposing it was only a chair he
had knocked over, did not get up i'm
mediatcly. To imagine her feelings
on coming into the room some little
time after to behold her husband laying
on the floor reeking in his own blood
would be impossible, and to express
them in words would be still more
feeble attempt. She Immediately sent
the little boy to the nearest neighbors,
and before life was extinct Mrs. VIM.
Taylor and Ex-Sheriff Mcconnell were
there
The act was committed with a thirty
two calibre revolver. The ball entered
Just a little back of the temple and went
crushing through the brain. He died
about eight O'Clock, without having ut
tered word or shown signs of con-
sciousness.
1t appears that for some time his
health has not been very good, and at
times to have effected his mind. Some
time ago he told his sister, Mrs. Hosea
Kennedy, that he was afraid he would
lose his mind and was afraid he might
kill himself, saving, God knows | do
not wish to do such thing, and if
ever do, remember my wife is not to
blame" About three weeks ago he
went to DR.. II. Wilson, of Portersville,
for treatment. The doctor gave him
some medicine and told him to call
again in four days, but instead of doing
SO he went to New Castle, where some
one advised him to consult a Pitts
burgh physician, which he did. When
he returned he told one of his friends
he was sorry he ever went, as tie
doctor had told him that his case was
not durable. Since then he has at
times been very melancholy, and more
than likely while under the influence of
such spell committed the act.
