The gas wells are both going down steadily.
at the PAUL. well yesterday thty were boring
through very hard sandstone at u depth oil
little over 1000 feet. Calculations have
been made by those who are experts, that gas
will be reached at about GAS feet, and II
such be the case gas may BIZ found at this
well at any moment now, In large and paying
quantities. The gentlemen boring this we'll
nave always found gtS wherever they bored
heretofore, and they are confident they
will find it at this place. At the
LaughlIn mill they are also boring
through rock ut depth Of little over !, 400
feet, aud expect TO bore through rock until
gas Is found, which thty now calculate will
be at q depth oil About UUO teet, which depth
they expect to reach next Monday or Tues
day.
The most sanguine friends OF the prohibi-
ton amendment did not think two weeks
ago that there would be anything like the
interest now manifested In favor OF this move
ment OF the people. Party politics have been
almost lost sight Of, and scarcely any work Is
being done publicly by either OF The great
parties, but Republicans and Democrats alike
are working side by side for the second or
prohibitory amendment, and local politicians
Of both parties, In view OF the great numbers
that are every day declaring Ia favor OF the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic, say 1t will
carry In Belmont county, and the reports
coming into the Executive Committee from
all over the State, state that the amendment
will carry BY q large majority. ItisaFakeninR,
the people TO new zeal and energy, and while
many aole, eloquent speakers have been here,
tomorrow night promises TO be the biggest
meeting with the finest address Of the whole
campaign, by Major George II. Hilton, Of
Washington, D. O., who holds high position
In the Internal Revenue Department, and Is
more thoroughly acquainted with this liquor
question than any other man In the country.
The meeting will be at Commercial Hall, at
7:3O o'clock, and the hall will no doubt be
packed to hear this great speaker.

Complaints About an UrJust Rule aud
It's wOrkiugs.

... It's Workings.
WASHINGTON, October 3.-Complaints
have been made that the rule OF the Civil
Service Commission which provides that
none Of the names on the lists certified for
appointment shall be sent up more than
twice, Is unjust. It is possible the Com
missioners may concede the correctness OF
these complaints, and modify the rule.
The rules first submitted to the President
provided that three names should be Ger.
tilted when there were vacancies, and that
none OF these names should be certified
more than twice. The President and Cab
met decided to enlarge the certified list to
four, but the Commissioners did not make
corresponding increase in the chances OF
those who ran the risk OF being thrown ont
from no fault OF their own. A Cabinet
officer has remarked that 1t is very easy to
see that great hardship may result from
this rule. The question may also arise
whether names having been dropped, after
twice being sent up to one department,
they are wholly dropped from the eligible
list or only from the eligible list OF the de.
partment in question. The friends OF the
unsuccessful persons on the certified list
will most certainly maintain that the quail
itication Of the regulation does not extend
to the entire Government service,

WESTON, October S.-AS John Hafalter,
an employe Of the Weston House, and a
colored man, Willis Merriam, were out in
the river in q boat above the dam yesterday
evening, stopping the logs that the treshet
had brought down, they dritted unexpect'
eddy near the breast OF the dam. Thinking
to escape by swimming both parties
jumped into the water and struck out man
fully for the shore, the negro reaching
there in safety. The other man was too
near the current Of the dam, and being ex-
hausted went over into the boiling waters
below, and was carried under the pour Of
the dam for some seconds, but finally, by
heroic struggles he succeeded In getting into
the stream, drifting away from the dam,
and keeping safely afloat and was rescued
about 100 yards below.
