Congressman Gibson states in an
interview that the report sent out
from Washington vindicating Marshal
Atkinson, of this State, was not re-
port from the Springer Committee at
all. ''That report is fraud" said
Mr.. Gibson, "and was never even
seen by the Springer Committee. 1t
was made up by Balm and clerk in
the Department of Justice, and was
taken to Springer, who refused to
have anything to do with it. The
last action on the subject taken by
committee was to ask for committee
to investigate the Marshals of our
State. 1t seems that the Department.
of Justice had the report printed, and
it has been sent out as the action of
the Springer Committee.

all in any way implicated therein will

To the Voters Of Jefferson

The first great battle of the cam
Paign has been fought. The result
proves a glorious victory, but let us
not forget that another and no less
one is just beforeus, which.
involves the destiny of the Republic J;
which will determine whether Repub-
lican methods or Democratic conserv-
alive principles shall prevail in the
administration of the government
Wehaye also, fellow citizens, especial
interest in the next election of No
vember 18th, besides that.o a devo-
ton to Democratic principles. and
that is to see that our own distin-
guished countymen, Hon. d. B. Luz
cas-, elector at large, and Hon. w. L.
Wilson, who carries the banner of our
party in this Congressional district,
are not only elected, but elected by a
handsome majority. In order to do
this every vote is necessary; all the
power of thorough organization must
be invoked. Remember that two
years ago, by an unhappy lethargy,
Dir. Wilson'S election was only by a
majority of 10. Remember that on the
18th of October last. the majority in
this Congressional district was only
772. AZ little disaffection, little
staying at home on the part of our
electors, would imperiI his chances.
Let us, therefore, put our shoulders
to the wheel, individually and colIec-
lively, with the determination to make
old Jefferson surpass its recent Dem
ocratic majority two weeks ago, viz {:
1890. Let us endeavor to make it on
the 4th of November, Fourteen Hun
dred. In order to do this, and to i'm
press upon the people of every pre-
cinct the Importance of systematic
work, number of our public speakers
have put themselves at my service, as
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee, and I have made the fol-
lowing appointments for public speak

The terrible strait of desperation
to which Blaine has been reduced,
and the utter hopclcssness of his cleo
ton, is strongly evinccd by his resort
to the bloody shirt programme. The
ensanguined garment was waved
aloft at Fort Wayne, Ind, few days
ago. in the cry of solid South, and
the danger of the national govern
ment passing into the hands of that
section. Even this Dernier resort
will not avail him in his extremity,
and on Tuesday next he will be retired
to the obscurity that his deserts will
richly mOrit.

Ohio county Democrats arc vir-
tuously indignant over the discovery,
by Attorney General Caldwell, that
Lewis Baker, of the Wheeling Reg
lister, voted for the Republican can
didates for Governor, Judges of the
Court of Appeals, and Attorney Gen
eral. And yet he is a member of the
National Democratic Committee, and
participates in the private councils of
the leaders of the party. Oh, shame,
where is thy blush?

John L. Foreman, a well-known
citizen of Preston county, makes oath
that State Senator Dawson, (Repub-
Iican,) of that county, gave him two
dollars as a bride to vote for Maxwell
for governor and himself for State
Senator. The Democrats are after
the rascals with sharp stick, and
they will assuredly be turned cut.

will be very likely to lose your vote

Hon. VIM. L. Wilson'S opponent

like very bad defeat to a man of
straight vision. Outside of Cincin-

The Democrats elect eight out of
the thirteen Senators which are cho-
sen for four years, and elect the Sen
ator in the Wetzcl district to fill the
vacancy occasioned' by the death of a
Republican Senator. This gives the
Democrats four of majority in the
Senate. Before the October election
that body stood tie between the two
parties. At the expiration of this
Senatorial term the Democrats will
have majority of three holding over.

A JUVENILE HOMICIDE.

4 Thirteen Year. Old Brooklyn BOY, Driven
to Desperation by IIl-Treatment ut tfs
Hands OF a Bully, Plunges His Pocket
Knife Into His Assatlant,s Heart.
NEW YORK, October %.
Boys started bonfire at Prince and
Hilary streets, Brooklyn, last night.
Michael Byrne, aged eighteen, finally be-
gan to dance around the fire and drive
the other boys away. He was particularly
spiteful toward thirteen-year-old lad
named Chau scey St. Martin, Of Ill Til.
larry street. He forced st. Martin to give
him three cents, aud later asked him for
more. Chauncey told him he had no
more to give, when Byrne struck him,
and said he woul not let him remain at
the bonfire unless he went aud got him
some. The youngest boy resolved to re-
main where ne was, aud Byrne caught
hold of him and, dragging him toward
the fire, threatened to throw him.
in. He resisted, and ia the
struggle he was severely pun
ished. Having broken loose, st.
Martin started for his nome, only u short
distance away. Byrne followed and
overlook him as he was goi.g up the
stoop of his house. When he attempted
to seize him St. Martin turned and draw
ing knife struck at Bryne's breast.
The latter staggered back and fell
to the sidewalk. Several other boys
who had followed Byrne and
st. Martin from the bonfire. ex-
pecting to see hight, ran up and, finding
Byrne lying on the sidewalk, picked him
up and carried him toward his home. He
died before reaching it He did not
speak after he was struck Physicians
found that he had received a stab wound
in the heart. Detective Chambers ar
rested ST. Martin at his home. He hand
ed the knife, an ordinary white handled
pocket knife, to the detective. He sobbed
bitterly when he was told that he had
killed Byrne. To Coroner Menninger
he said that he had frequently
been cuffed and prosecuted by Byrne.
Fearing that he would catch him after he
left the bonfire he took the knife from
his pocket to defend himself. He was
very mad, he said, at the way Byrne
treated him, but he had no intention of
killing him. Several companions OF the
boys were taken into custody as witness
es. They all agree that Byrne bullied
and abused St. Martin. The bonfire was
started in honor of a Democratic process
sion, through the Second, Fourth and
Fifth Wards. sts ss

Man Indicted for Horse Stealing With.
out His Knowledge Wa1L- Into Jail Like
Rat Into Trap-A Faithless Woman's
Unseemly Grief.
MULFoRD, Pa, October %.
IN the Pike County Court, held
here last week, young man named Fred
Drake was placed on trial for stealing a
valuable horse, belonging to his
brother-in-law, John Quinn. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
seven years hard labor in the
Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia.
From Drake it was learned that he had
Rn accomplish in the horse-stealing, and
the Grand Jury, therefore, indicted man
named Anzie White, and warrant was
issued for his arrest. Greatly to the sur
prise of Sheriff Williamson, who
should call at the jail on Sunday last but
the very man White, for whom
he had a warrant, accompanied by Drake's
wife, the latter having visited the Jail for
the purpose of bidding her husband good
bye. The wary Sheriff invited White into
the cell adjoining that occupied by Drake,
and, after locking the door, read to him
the warrant for his arrest. White was
dumbfounded, as he had not learned that
he was even suspected, let alone indicted
for the crime of horse stealing. Since the
arrest of Drake his wife, who is young and
pretty, about twenty years fage, has been
living with White at his house. Mrs.
Drake was greatly affected by Whites
arrest, and wept copiousiy, as she con-
versed with him through the CELL door,
appearing to have no thought for her hus-
band. Between her sobs she said White
was innocent of the crime charged against
him by her erring husband, and that she
could prove it when the proper time comes.

The Nest Productive of PennsyIvaia Oil
Wells Out done by Those in the Russian
Port of Bakoe, on the Caspi-n Sea.
TrTusvILLE, Pa, October 20.
A Butler special says: "Phillips' well
No. is doing thirty-one barrels an hour
and Phillips No. 2, forty six barrels. The
Christie well is doing seventy-tive barrels
an hour, the Corners well ninety-five bar
rels and the Armstrong well 800 barrels"
For the past two months the TitusvilIe
Herald has been making extensive inquir-
les abroad among consuls and Petroleum
Associations with a view of procuring reli-
able information as to the Russian oil fields
and what is likely to be the extent of
their competition with American petro-
leum. A long article is published in the
Herald to-day showing that there exists
at Bakoo, on the Caspian Sea, extensive
oil fields, prolific beyond anything known
in the United States. The records fur
nished by the owners of some of the
wells are given. One well produced
nearly one thousand barrels in the
first half hour; and another well
did 5000 barrels a day. Another well
produced 5000, 900 gallons of crude oil,
which was sold for sixteen cents ton for
fuel, there being no demand for it for IL
purposes. Consul General
Perry estimates the minimum produce
tive capacity of the Bakoo fields at 49,
600, 600 tons of crude Old year.
